Chapter 46: Chapter 46: Meeting the Younger Brother-in-LawChen Feng’s wealth had increased by over sixty million, yet it barely made a difference to his current lifestyle, everything remained as it had been. If any change had occurred, it was probably in his mindset. That is, Chen Feng became more confident and composed. In layman’s terms, he became bolder. Money is the courage of a hero, that’s probably the adage. When Sun Xiaorui and her friends came back from shopping, they didn’t notice any change in Chen Feng. Of course, Chen Feng hadn’t mentioned to her about going to claim the prize, after all, they had only known each other for a few days and weren’t truly boyfriend and girlfriend yet. Even for genuinely in-love couples, many people wouldn’t reveal winning millions to their partner. The main reason might not be the fear of sharing the money but the sudden large sum might bring problems to the relationship. Many relationships in the world can’t withstand the test of money. Naturally, if you already have a fortune of tens or hundreds of millions, you wouldn’t have these concerns. As for Chen Feng, Sun Xiaorui was still in her probation period to him, how could he fully trust her? Although he was quite satisfied with her in all aspects now, a necessary guard against others was still needed. For the next two days, Chen Feng didn’t go out, staying at home watching TV and surfing the internet. The chores such as laundry, cooking, and cleaning were all taken care of by Sun Xiaorui, and of course, that included keeping him company for chats and sleep. Regarding this, Sun Xiaorui, who now earned a monthly salary of fifty thousand and had food and accommodation included, had absolutely no complaints. Just like she said before, she really just treated it as a job and fulfilled her duties. Two days later, Chen Feng went out with Sun Xiaorui to meet her younger brother Sun Lijian. He had been informed a day earlier. Hearing that his sister had a new boyfriend who wanted to take him out for a meal, he had no reason to refuse. The new campus of Finance University wasn’t in the city but in a former suburb, now a district managed by the city, about fifty to sixty kilometers from the city center. It took about an hour by expressway. They met Sun Lijian at the gate of the university, who was quite tall and handsome, bearing some resemblance to his sister. Upon meeting, he kept sizing up Chen Feng and directly asked him a lot of questions, such as what his job was? Where was he from? Whether he planned to buy a house in Xiu Zhou in the future. Chen Feng didn’t mind and answered truthfully: currently unemployed, not a local from Xiu Zhou, didn’t own a house, and had no plans to buy one for the time being. Hearing such answers, Sun Lijian was clearly not very satisfied. But seeing his sister looking so happily sweet, he could only suppress his myriad thoughts for the moment. The two were led by Sun Lijian for a stroll around the Finance University campus, with Sun Lijian being somewhat absent-minded while acting as a tour guide and occasionally providing explanations. At noon, they went to a restaurant across from the university on Sun Lijian’s recommendation. When ordering, Sun Lijian didn’t hold back and specifically chose several expensive dishes. Chen Feng certainly didn’t mind this, though Sun Xiaorui playfully glared at her brother before seeing that Chen Feng didn’t mind and thus relaxed. Chen Feng also ordered two dishes himself and let Sun Xiaorui order two as well, making a total of twelve dishes. Of course, Chen Feng didn’t take his brother-in-law’s little trick to heart; the dishes he ordered altogether cost just a few thousand. Thus, Chen Feng didn’t mind and took the initiative to ask, "Do you drink alcohol?" "Yes. I like white spirits, Wuliangye, Moutai, both are fine," Sun Lijian said with a hint of jest. Chen Feng laughed, "Same as me. If it’s white spirits, I only drink these two kinds, others give me a headache. How about we get a bottle of Flying Maotai?" "Ah." Sun Lijian was somewhat surprised, he hadn’t had Moutai before but knew that Flying Maotai was expensive, costing over a thousand per bottle. While he was still dumbfounded, Chen Feng had already waved over a waiter. "Bring a bottle of Flying Maotai, and it has to be authentic. If it’s fake, I’ll immediately call the police and speak to your manager." In society, there are a lot of fake Maotai’s around, mainly because the profits are tempting—the empty bottles of Flying Maotai alone can fetch two or three hundred each. In restaurants like this one, even if they don’t sell fake alcohol, one still needs to be wary of the staff substituting the real liquor brought out with a fake one. It wasn’t long before the restaurant manager personally brought over a bottle of Flying Maotai. A bottle of Flying was selling for 2,800 over here, and for such a high-grade liquor, it was, of course, personally overseen by the manager. After stating the price and handing it over to Chen Feng for inspection, and once confirmed it was correct, he opened it. Throughout this whole process, Sun Lijian watched somewhat absentmindedly and didn’t speak. Meanwhile, Sun Xiaorui watched Chen Feng with a smile, feeling that at that moment, Chen Feng looked very handsome. Indeed, in women’s eyes, men are the most attractive when they are spending money for them. Sun Xiaorui knew that Chen Feng had opened this bottle of Flying Maotai particularly to give her face. At home, Chen Feng usually didn’t touch a drop of liquor and didn’t smoke either. This was a very good trait. After opening the Maotai, Chen Feng personally poured a glass for himself and Sun Lijian. Just then, several well-ordered dishes were also served, and Chen Feng raised his glass to Sun Lijian, saying, "Here, let’s have a drink first." After speaking, Chen Feng clinked glasses with him and downed his drink in one gulp. Seeing this, Sun Lijian didn’t say much, raised his glass, and also downed his drink in one go. His handsome face quickly turned bright red, but he didn’t cough it out, which was pretty good. "Haha, not bad, just need more practice." Although Chen Feng usually didn’t drink at home, his tolerance was actually quite good. Back when he was in his company, being favored by the boss, good drinking ability was an important factor. "What practice?" Sun Xiaorui immediately interjected to stop him, "What’s so good about this alcohol? If it’s for social obligations, drinking occasionally is fine, but you can’t do it daily. It’s bad for your health if you spoil your body. Both of you should drink slowly from now on. If you can’t finish it, take it with you." "Sister, you are right. I’ll listen to you," Sun Lijian immediately said, looking to please her. His tolerance was average, and Chen Feng’s toast had indeed startled him a bit. The Maotai tasted good, but he didn’t want to get drunk and make a fool of himself. Of course, Chen Feng had no intention of actually getting him drunk. As the saying goes, love me, love my dog, he should still take care of his "little brother-in-law." "Listen to your sister, let’s drink slowly. Come on, let’s eat," Chen Feng, going with the flow, stopped pushing drinks and slowly ate and chatted with Sun Lijian. After a few drinks, especially once he heard that Chen Feng had graduated from East Sea Institute of Technology, his attitude markedly improved. East Sea Institute of Technology was somewhat better than Finance University, as could be seen from their annual acceptance scores. Moreover, Chen Feng attended university ten years ago, when college entrance exams were even harder than they are now. The two quickly became familiar with each other, talking about various university experiences, and, with the help of the fine wine, Sun Lijian suddenly felt a kindred spirit in Chen Feng. Chen Feng, after all, had been striving in the workplace for several years, and it was easy for him to foster closer relationships at the dining table. This scene left Sun Xiaorui, who hadn’t said much, quite stunned. She knew her brother’s personality very well. Though not shy, he usually didn’t talk much. But seeing him now, continuously talking and discussing animatedly, she almost couldn’t recognize him. In any case, all three were very satisfied with this meeting. Especially Sun Xiaorui and her brother. Sun Xiaorui was pleased because Chen Feng was willing to bond with her and her brother, and Sun Lijian, needless to say, Chen Feng had spent nearly ten thousand to treat him to a meal—how could a future brother-in-law like that be bad? Of course, it was mainly because he found Chen Feng to be generous, cultured, knowledgeable, and not without humor. His own sister would surely be happy with him. That was the most important thing. On the way back, Sun Xiaorui drove, and her driving skills were decent, at least she wasn’t nervous about getting on the highway, and she kept a smile on her face throughout.
