Chapter 1001: Chapter 532: Negotiations Between Both Sides

If possible, Chen Feng certainly didn’t want to answer this call, but he knew he couldn’t avoid it.

So, after hesitating for a few seconds, Chen Feng finally answered the call from his mom.

"Ah Feng, someone just called me, saying you got his daughter pregnant, from Tianzhou, introduced by your aunt for matchmaking. Is this true?"

To Chen Feng’s surprise, his mom wasn’t furious; she asked calmly instead.

Seeing his mom so composed, Chen Feng felt a little relieved and immediately explained the whole situation in detail, emphasizing at the end: "I was tricked by her family. His daughter already told him everything, but he simply won’t admit it. Anyway, he’s sure that I am the father of the child in his daughter’s belly, which makes me very angry. He’s calling you now to pressure you. If you really fall for his trick and let me marry his daughter, you’ll be deceived by him."

"Then tell me, what will happen to the child in her belly? Also, can you be sure that the child is yours?"

Zhao Xiaolan still wasn’t angry. Although the situation caught her off guard, she had been a grandmother before, so she wasn’t particularly excited about becoming a grandmother again, especially under these circumstances. To be honest, she wasn’t very willing.

After all, the daughter-in-law she initially favored was Wu Mengting, and now suddenly a woman she had never met claims to have her son’s child; she certainly wouldn’t be happy.

"I can’t be 100% sure that the child is mine, but his daughter probably wouldn’t lie about this deliberately. It’s very likely to be mine. Yet, I don’t want to acknowledge this child now, regardless of whether it’s biologically mine or not. After all, this was all set up by his daughter from the start."

Seeing that his mom wasn’t intimidated by Hong Xiaodan’s dad, Chen Feng directly expressed his true thoughts.

"The problem now is her family won’t let it go, and if the situation escalates, your aunt and uncle will be in a tough spot since your aunt introduced you for matchmaking."

Indeed, Chen Xiaoxia’s side is a concern, and it’s also something Chen Feng is worried about. The Hong family is a huge local tycoon in Tianzhou with billions in assets. They have money and power, and if they direct their anger at Chen Xiaoxia, it’s definitely something Chen Feng doesn’t want to see.

"I should go to Tianzhou. Have a face-to-face talk with them and clear things up. Marrying his daughter is impossible. Other aspects can be negotiated to solve."

After thinking for a while, Chen Feng said.

Zhao Xiaolan sighed and said, "Their intention is clear: they want you to marry his daughter. If you refuse, you’re their enemy. I’m worried he’ll harm you if you refuse to marry his daughter when you go there. So, better not go; your dad and I should. "

Chen Feng frowned and said, "This is my own matter; you and dad shouldn’t go. I can handle it myself."

Zhao Xiaolan replied angrily, "Can we not go? You’ve gotten someone pregnant now. His dad wants us to go over, have a proper talk between families, ideally settle the marriage, but neither you nor I agree, so to prevent your aunt and uncle from being put in a difficult position, we have to go."

"Alright then. I’ll go to Tianzhou with aunt tomorrow, and you and dad can decide for yourselves; today or tomorrow is fine."

This matter must be resolved, or it will be a ticking time bomb. As for his previous statement of not acknowledging the child, most of it was spoken out of anger, and once the child is born, it’s a fait accompli, and denying it won’t work.

"I’ll call your aunt to discuss, and then decide when to go and negotiate with their family."

"Okay."

After hanging up, Chen Feng was completely out of his good mood for the day.

First, he found out about being tricked by Hong Xiaodan, then got pressured by her dad calling his mom, which obviously made him very uncomfortable.

The world really is chaotic.

A man like him, who is so amorous, could actually be deceitfully drugged by a young, rich, beautiful woman like Hong Xiaodan; where does one go to reason?

Moreover, he can’t even accuse her of assault; at most, he could sue her for indecent behavior, and even then, publicizing this would be deeply embarrassing for him. The problem is that no evidence exists after so long to prove she had indecently assaulted him, which is indeed absurd. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

If a woman encounters such a situation, she can unquestionably accuse the man of assault, but when it’s a man, it’s different. Even suing for indecent behavior, obtaining evidence is extremely difficult.

This situation undeniably shows that men and women are truly unequal.

Chen Feng, a bit annoyed, let his mind wander for a while and then picked up his phone to watch short videos, shifting his attention and gradually calming down.

Actually, Hong Xiaodan’s pregnancy is a big deal, but also essentially a minor issue for him. As long as he can show resolve, he doesn’t need to be overly concerned about potential pressure on his aunt and uncle.

But he certainly can’t do that, so he still needs to make a trip to Tianzhou.

About half an hour later, Wu Mengting and Sun Xiaorui returned from work, and the three of them had dinner together.

At the dinner table, Wu Mengting talked about some company matters, but Chen Feng was preoccupied and didn’t listen much. Later, Wu Mengting simply stopped talking.

Sun Xiaorui told him she planned to visit Finance University tomorrow, a Saturday, to see her brother Sun Lijian, and asked if he wanted to go.

Chen Feng naturally declined.

After dinner, both women noticed Chen Feng had something on his mind, and Wu Mengting directly asked him.

Of course, Chen Feng couldn’t tell her the truth, so he said he would go to Tianzhou tomorrow to send his aunt back.

Upon hearing this, Wu Mengting quickly said, "Then I’ll go with you. It’s just the weekend tomorrow, so nothing planned, and if possible, we can spend a day there and return the day after tomorrow afternoon."

Chen Feng found it a bit speechless, shaking his head, "I’m going back with my aunt to handle some matters, so there’s no need for you to join."

"What matters?"

Wu Mengting, not taking offense, asked directly.

Chen Feng gave her a look, "It’s family business, not for you to worry about."

Only then did Wu Mengting stop talking.

Chen Feng didn’t chat further with her and went straight upstairs.

After lying in the bedroom for a while, he received another call from Chen Xiaoxia, telling him to pack up immediately and take him to Tianzhou. Meanwhile, his parents were also on their way to her home in Tianzhou.

Everyone will first gather at Chen Xiaoxia’s house and then carefully discuss the situation.

Moreover, tomorrow’s negotiation with the Hong family should primarily involve the older generation, and as a junior, Chen Feng shouldn’t interfere too much.

Of course, in principle, Chen Feng wouldn’t agree to marry Hong Xiaodan, and at most, they’d co-parent the child in the future. Given the Hong family’s wealth, it’s believed they wouldn’t care about financial compensation.
