After my divorce, I started to have good luck-Chapter 865 - 464: Tian Xiaoman’s Gratitude

Chen Feng originally didn't plan to play with stocks anymore, but since this situation came up, playing a bit isn't a big deal.

This time, though, he didn't want to play big; he only planned to take out tens of thousands to play a little.

If he wasn't worried that, without buying, this stock wouldn't rise, he actually wouldn't want to dabble in stocks again.

For him, playing stocks is faster than robbing a bank, anything he buys rises, which is too unusual. If the authorities find out and investigate him, he would be in big trouble.

So, it's better to quit early, and this time he didn't plan to make too much money either.

Driving to the food wholesale market, Chen Feng let Tian Xiaoman choose the gifts, while he casually opened the stock trading app on his phone, randomly chose a stock called Xianglong Power, bought 100 shares, and spent more than sixty thousand.

Remembering the stock's name, Chen Feng didn't worry about it any more.

After walking around, Tian Xiaoman still hadn't decided what to buy as gifts, thinking that everything sold here wasn't very expensive. So, she had to let Chen Feng decide.

Chen Feng chose the nearest shop, bought two big durians, and then picked out a box of the most expensive oranges. Altogether, it was only a few hundred bucks.

"Aren't these two gifts a bit too light?" Tian Xiaoman asked, worried.

Chen Feng explained, "These are just visiting gifts, there's no need for them to be too expensive. It's just a gesture. The main thing is the stock I recommended to her."

"Well... okay then."

Although still a bit worried, with Chen Feng saying that, Tian Xiaoman had no choice but to listen to him.

Having bought the gifts, it was almost ten thirty, so they decided to head straight over.

Following the address, they arrived at Qin Zhen's aunt's apartment complex after about twenty minutes.

The complex, located in the town center, though aged, has always been among the top in the county in terms of house prices. It's not far from the First Middle School, county government, and other important units. Many public servants used to live in this kind of complex, and even today, many still do.

There was still a security booth at the entrance, with two security guards in their thirties or forties on duty. After contacting Qin Zhen's aunt by phone and getting confirmation, they were allowed in upon visitor registration.

Qin Zhen's aunt's surname is Yu, and her husband, the principal of Third Middle School, is surnamed Zheng.

Their home was on the 4th floor of the apartment building. After ringing the doorbell, the door was quickly opened by an old lady in her fifties, whom Chen Feng almost mistook for Qin Zhen's aunt.

Luckily, the old lady spoke first: "Are you Chen Feng? Come in, Xiao Yu has been waiting for you."

Only then did Chen Feng realize, smiling and nodding: "Yes, I'm Chen Feng. I'm sorry to bother you with this unexpected visit."

"Don't be so formal." The old lady smiled and stepped aside. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Looking inside, Chen Feng indeed saw a well-dressed, elegant forty-something lady sitting on the living room sofa.

She must be the main person.

At the entrance, the old lady kindly gave him slippers to change into, but Tian Xiaoman didn't get the same treatment. However, she smartly got herself a newer pair of red slippers to change into.

At this point, Chen Feng casually set down the box of oranges he was carrying, and Tian Xiaoman followed suit with the two big durians.

Then, they were swiftly taken away by the old lady, whose calm demeanor and efficient movements made it clear she'd done this more than once or twice before.

Aunt Yu was already smiling as she stood up from the sofa and came over to greet him.

"Hello Auntie, I'm Chen Feng, Qin Zhen's high school classmate and friend."

As the younger one, Chen Feng naturally greeted her promptly.

"Hello, Ah Zhen told me you're his best friend. You've settled in Xiu Zhou now, haven't you? You even started a film and television company that's already released two popular dramas. That's really impressive."

Chen Feng hadn't expected Qin Zhen to say so much to her. After a slight pause, he smiled humbly: "Just a small endeavor. This company was just founded this year. I don't really manage it much."

"Even if you don't manage it, the company is so successful, which shows your excellence. Come, sit down and let's chat."

"Okay, thank you, Auntie."

"Just call me Aunt, like Ah Zhen does. It's more intimate."

"Alright, Aunt."

Chen Feng didn't hesitate to change how he addressed her. Given his relationship with Qin Zhen, this was quite normal for him to do.

Aunt Yu's smile became even more genial once he changed how he addressed her.

Chen Feng and Tian Xiaoman went to sit down on the sofa opposite her.

Her house was quite spacious, about one hundred and fifty to sixty square meters. The living room was quite large, with sofas on three sides and a solid wood coffee table in the middle, taking up around fifty to sixty square meters.

Shortly after Chen Feng and Tian Xiaoman sat down, the old lady served each of them a cup of tea.

"Do you and Ah Zhen often meet up in Xiu Zhou?" Aunt Yu started the conversation by asking.

Chen Feng answered truthfully: "We don't see each other often, he's busy with work, and I don't want to go out when I have nothing to do. But basically, we keep in touch by phone every now and then; sometimes, we meet for a few days running when the mood strikes, and sometimes we don't see each other for ten days or half a month if one of us is busy."

"Haha, that's how real friends are. Those who meet every day tend to lose the sense of distance and can't be true friends. Since Ah Zhen says you're his best friend, it must be true. So you should also know about his girlfriend over there? It seems he's serious this time, saying he's coming back for National Day to get engaged. How much do you know about his girlfriend?"

Chen Feng couldn't help but touch his nose when he realized his aunt was probing about this matter.

There's no doubt that Qin Zhen wouldn't tell his family about Pei Lei's severe depression, let alone that her mother is mentally ill.

Now that his aunt is asking him about Pei Lei, he certainly can't tell the truth, but lying to her on purpose doesn't seem right either.

However, Chen Feng had to side with Qin Zhen on this issue.

So, after a brief hesitation, Chen Feng calmly said, "His girlfriend's name is Pei Lei, she's a very nice girl, just twenty-four this year. She has a good job as a designer, earning over ten thousand a month, with a promising future. They met when we were all in the Red Demon Country; at the time, I and Ah Zhen were there on a mix of travel and business, so we got to know her. After returning home, Ah Zhen kept thinking about her and pursued her. They ended up together."

Aunt Yu nodded in understanding, then asked: "What do you personally think of his girlfriend?"

Chen Feng didn't hesitate a bit and said, "She's great. Well-educated, good-looking, gentle in character, and she takes good care of Ah Zhen in daily life. She can do housework, cook meals, and has pretty good culinary skills; I've eaten her meals a few times."

Upon hearing Chen Feng's evaluation, Aunt Yu couldn't help but smile with relief: "If that's the case, his mother and I can rest assured. It's hard to believe he's finally thinking about starting a family at thirty."
