After my divorce, I started to have good luck-Chapter 816 - 440: Driving a Luxury Car Back Home

Chen Feng chose to drive his Cayenne back to his hometown, no longer deliberately keeping a low profile.

Anyway, his family already knew he had some money now, probably around several million, so buying a car worth over a million should be acceptable.

After driving for about four hours, Chen Feng finally returned to his hometown.

Chen Feng set off around eight in the morning and got home at about twelve thirty, just in time for lunch with his family.

His mom, Zhao Xiaolan, knowing he was coming home today, didn't go to help out at the small supermarket in Yuelou Town as usual.

Early in the morning, she bought a lot of dishes that Chen Feng liked, and except for Little Yu and Little Xue, the two precious granddaughters, who had eaten a little beforehand, the adults hadn't started eating yet, waiting for Chen Feng to come back.

What Chen Feng looked forward to the most upon returning was seeing Little Yu and Little Xue. Having heard that their uncle was coming home, they waited eagerly at the front door, like they were watching the stars and moon.

Because every time Chen Feng came back, he would bring them a lot of gifts, and this time was no exception; he brought them quite a few toy gifts.

These were bought at a supermarket in the county when he got off the highway, specifically choosing toys that girls would like.

The sisters, holding the gifts, joyfully went to play.

After sending off the two nieces, Chen Feng went to the kitchen behind the house to see his mom.

Only his mom, Zhao Xiaolan, was busy in the kitchen. He asked and found out his dad went to the mahjong room to play. His dad was now basically retired, usually gardening at home. When he had free time, like many elderly, he enjoyed playing mahjong.

His sister-in-law went to help at the car wash, and of course, his brother Chen Rui was also there. Usually, at noon, his sister-in-law would deliver meals to his brother.

But today, because Chen Feng came home, Chen Rui would also come back for lunch.

This time, before Chen Feng arrived home, the family waited for him and didn't start their meal.

Having the whole family wait for him to return before eating was a new kind of attention for Chen Feng, leaving him a bit surprised by the honor.

Looking at the table full of barely touched dishes, Chen Feng asked his mom somewhat uncomfortably, "Mom, we never had the tradition of waiting for me to eat together. What's going on this time? You're not going to ask me for a favor, are you?"

No such thing as a free lunch.

Though it seemed improper to describe one's family this way, the reality of human nature often applied universally. If one or several people suddenly became extra warm and polite to you, it wasn't necessarily a good thing; often, it was because they needed something from you.

However, this time Chen Feng was clearly overthinking it.

Zhao Xiaolan gave him a sideways glance and said, "What tradition or not? You rarely come home, and of course, we want to have a meal together as a family. Besides, it's not too late now. Your brother usually eats after twelve. Today is different because you just came back. But after this, when it's meal time, and if you don't show up, we won't wait for you."

Hearing his mom say this, Chen Feng quietly breathed a sigh of relief. However, Chen Feng was also aware that as he contributed more to the family, or more accurately, became wealthier, even his family valued him more. Otherwise, when he didn't have money before, they never waited for him to start the meal.

Of course, this was human nature. Even among family members, it's hard to overcome social habits.

This was also the main reason Chen Feng didn't want to openly reveal his billionaire status before, fearing that once his family knew he had become a billionaire, they'd become overly polite, or even sycophantic, and find ways to ask for money, clinging onto him financially. Not to mention various relatives and friends coming to borrow money.

If that happened, the family affection between him and his relatives would undoubtedly change completely.

Though that might not happen, Chen Feng didn't want to take the risk. He had already lost love and no longer believed in it; friendship certainly couldn't compare with family affection.

Also, his cancer hadn't completely healed, and deep down, there was always a shadow of death looming.

Therefore, the thing he longed for and valued most in his heart was familial affection.

Even if he was unwilling and didn't quite like staying long-term in his hometown, being by his parents' side, there was no doubt that his parents held the highest place in his heart, and he cared for them the most.

"Well, that's good. I thought there might be some trouble at home needing my help?"

Chen Feng pretended to sigh with relief and said.

Zhao Xiaolan glared at him and said, "Right now, the most troublesome thing in our family is that you're still single. I want you to get engaged to Little Ting by the end of the year. Do you agree or not? Just give me a clear answer today."

Chen Feng felt a headache coming on upon hearing his mom bring this up. It wasn't the first time his mom mentioned it.

He was somewhat regretting the initial agreement with Wu Mengting for a six-month period, let alone getting engaged by year-end. But under his mom's stare, Chen Feng could only manage a wry smile and say, "Mom, this is a lifelong matter for me. Let me think it over some more. I failed in my first marriage and haven't finished reflecting on the lessons. You have to let me finish that. Besides, I'm still relatively young now, only thirty years old..."

"Only thirty?!" Zhao Xiaolan exclaimed, interrupting him, "When your dad was thirty, both you and your brother could go buy soy sauce. When your brother was thirty, Little Yu and Little Xue were already born."

"That was back then. Besides, my situation is different from Dad and Brother. Didn't I just get divorced last year? If less than a year since the divorce, I get engaged to someone else and start a new family, I have some psychological resistance."

"Little Ting is such a good and excellent girl, graduated from East Sea University, from the city, and a few years younger than you. What more could you want? If you lose such a good daughter-in-law, let's see if I forgive you. Listen to your mom, don't worry about other things, get engaged to her first, set the status between you two, then talk about others. As for marriage, if you really resist, you can delay it a year or two more. After all, Little Ting is still young now. She can wait. But you can't; you're already thirty. You think you're still really young?"

"Let's talk about this later." Chen Feng quickly changed the subject, "I didn't come back this time for you to push marriage on me. What about Little Uncle's engagement? Has his wedding date been set yet?"

Sure enough, Zhao Xiaolan's attention was successfully diverted, and she replied, "Your uncle is getting on in years, so the sooner the wedding, the better. Both your aunt and I think so, and so does your uncle. The three of us have discussed it, and we all hope to have the wedding on this year's National Day. We're just waiting for Little Ling's mother and daughter's response. I believe they won't oppose, since they've already registered, and the house is ready. Besides, she's not young either."

Chen Feng nodded and said, "I hope she really takes good care of Little Uncle in the future and treats him well."

Zhao Xiaolan said, "From now on, it will depend on your uncle's own abilities. We have done enough for him."
