Chapter 278: Chapter 171: It’s a Pity to Miss Out"Ah, it’s my fault. I thought you’d be as gentle to him this time as you were before, but you ended up being so aggressively against him. It’s not like the old you." Little Dan said with a bit of reproach, "It’s because you’ve been praising him all these days, which naturally made me have a rebellious attitude. Why didn’t you tell me the information you found out earlier?" "I didn’t tell you because I was afraid it would affect you. I wanted you to interact with him sincerely. It’d be great if it worked out, but if not, it’s fine. Now, have you taken a liking to him?" Seeing her mother looking at her earnestly, Little Dan once again thought about her aggressive attitude towards Chen Feng, and her own self-righteousness, causing a wave of shame to surge in her heart. "What if I like him? Now it’s him who doesn’t like me." Initially Little Dan was just curious about Chen Feng, not truly interested. As for wanting to formally date him, she simply found him interesting and a bit handsome, partly to avoid the blind dates her family frequently arranged. But now, upon knowing Chen Feng’s excellence and wealth, she truly began to recognize him. Thinking of her previous awkwardness in front of him and being seen as a clown, she felt a peculiar urge for Chen Feng to change his perspective of her and recognize her strengths. People are so realistic. Even though Little Dan’s family assets are billions, and she is her parents’ sole heir, she’s never been short on money. But knowing Chen Feng is also wealthy, with an asset worth millions, her attitude and perception towards him completely changed. In this respect, Mrs. Hong was right not to let her know Chen Feng’s wealth beforehand. If Little Dan had known about his possessions, she certainly wouldn’t have been so aggressive in front of him, smoked in front of him, or even changed her hairstyle yesterday. This is truly... Little Dan felt a bit regretful. Chen Feng, upon returning to his aunt’s home, put Little Dan out of his mind, as he initially didn’t intend to go on a date; he only went to go through the motions. After the date, Little Dan completely did not meet his expectations of a woman, so she didn’t take up any space in his thoughts. However, during breakfast the next morning, Aunt Chen Xiaoxia mentioned that Mrs. Hong invited their whole family to her home and asked if Chen Feng and Zhao Xiaolan would go. Zhao Xiaolan bluntly shook her head in refusal, "We can’t afford to associate with families like theirs. Better not." Chen Rui’s eyes lit up, quickly asking, "Aunt, does this mean they fancy our Ah Feng?" Chen Xiaoxia nodded with a sense of pride, saying, "Of course. With Ah Feng being so outstanding, it’s natural they would fancy him. It’s a pity Ah Feng isn’t interested in their daughter, but there’s nothing we can do about it." Chen Rui also furrowed his brows in disappointment, turning to Chen Feng, "Ah Feng, are you really going to pass up such a great opportunity? It’s understandable if they didn’t fancy you, but now they do, and you still don’t want it. It’s such a shame. Is the girl really so unattractive?" Chen Xiaoxia quickly interjected, "Of course not, she’s very beautiful with looks and figure both. Plus, she’s the only daughter in her family, with assets worth billions. If you marry her, that huge fortune could be yours." Chen Rui’s eyes sparkled, eagerly encouraging, "Ah Feng, not that I’m saying you should, but with the girl being so beautiful, why be coy? Let’s go visit their home today. Ah Feng, take the chance to connect more with her." "Your brother already said he’s not interested in the girl, why are you so anxious here? If you have the skills, go pursue that girl yourself." Zhao Xiaolan, discontented with her eldest son, couldn’t help but chide and taunt him. Chen Rui was momentarily embarrassed and could only laugh awkwardly. Li Guihong, upon hearing this from her mother-in-law, felt a bit uncomfortable and added, "Exactly. If you have the ability, I’d support you in pursuing her." Zhao Xiaolan couldn’t help but frown slightly at her daughter-in-law. Chen Feng quickly said, "Brother, I know you’re looking out for me, but relationships can’t be forced. Moreover, we shouldn’t be too greedy. Their family is indeed wealthy, but it has nothing to do with us. Besides, even if I got together with her, would that billion-dollar fortune truly be mine? Where in the world does such good luck exist? With that much money, they must have precautions set." "No billions, but surely a few millions would do, right? Besides, you’re a grown man who’s been divorced, and she’s a rich heiress. She’s more than suitable for you, you wouldn’t be at a loss." "I won’t argue with you on this. Let’s drop this topic." Chen Feng didn’t want to bicker with his brother. Chen Rui could only sigh helplessly. Beside them, Chen Xiaoxia shared his regret and asked, "So you’re saying we aren’t going?" Zhao Xiaolan nodded sternly, "No, we’re not." Afraid his aunt might be put in a tough spot, Chen Feng added, "Just politely decline and say we have to head home after lunch." "Ah, leaving right after lunch? Not staying a few extra days?" Chen Xiaoxia asked, somewhat disappointed. Zhao Xiaolan said, "There are a lot of things to handle at home. The car beauty shop needs to open, the grocery store at home has to operate, and some relatives are coming tomorrow, so we need to prepare for them. There are tons of things to do." Chen Xiaoxia then said, "Then sister-in-law and brother can go back first. Let Ah Feng stay a few more days with me." Chen Feng quickly replied, "I have things to attend to back home too." "What business do you have?" Chen Xiaoxia glared discontentedly, "You said you’re a career stock trader now, and since the market is closed, you have nowhere to trade, so what business?" Chen Feng had no retort. He certainly couldn’t say he was planning to rendezvous with an affair partner. "Fine, stay a few more days. We can only meet around the New Year each year. Are you really avoiding your aunt? You used to cling to me as a child, always wanting me to hold you to sleep..." Chen Feng, feeling a bit embarrassed and interrupted quickly, "Alright, alright. I’ll stay a couple more days." He’s soft-hearted, especially towards family members. His aunt truly raised him with care like her own son in those days, which cannot be denied. Moreover, as an adult, they seldom meet. Thinking he was terminally ill, this might be their last meeting, which softened his stance. "Now that’s reasonable." Chen Xiaoxia smiled happily, "We’re all free these days, me, Chao, and Little Min, so let’s take you around and explore nearby." Chen Rui and Li Guihong were both envious upon hearing this but hesitated to ask if they could stay a couple more days. Clearly, that was not possible.
