Chapter 258 Meeting the Ex-Father-in-law and Mother-in-law
The time arrived at the agreed six o'clock, and neither Shen Lin nor her parents showed up. Chen Feng couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
In his heart, of course he didn't really want to meet them, but if they really wanted to meet him, he wouldn't resist. After all, I have to give them an explanation.
Chen Feng continued to wait patiently. He planned to wait until seven o'clock. If they hadn't come by then, he would leave.
After another ten minutes, the door of the box was suddenly opened, and the first person to come in was Shen Lin, whom she had not seen for a long time. At this time, she had a frosty look on her face and stared at Chen Feng with anger in her eyes. .
Behind her were two people, her parents, both of whom had serious expressions on their faces, as if someone owed them five million.
Father Shen is over sixty years old this year. He used to work in a state-owned enterprise and has retired. He only had his little daughter Shen Lin when he was in his thirties. Of course, he loves her very much and has worked hard to cultivate her since she was a child. Shen Lin also It's a good idea to live up to expectations. He has excelled in both character and academics since childhood. After graduating from college, he relied on his own efforts to get admitted as a career editor in Xiuzhou and get a job in the public sector.
Mother Shen is almost sixty years old this year and has taken good care of herself. She worked as a substitute teacher and head teacher in the countryside when she was young. She always had a serious look on her face.
Anyway, the few times Chen Feng met with them, they basically had this serious look on their faces.
Shen Lin also has a sister who is several years older than her. She married in another province and has children to take care of. Chen Feng and Shen Lin have only met twice in the past few years together. Her eldest sister rarely comes back to visit her parents throughout the year.
Therefore, the two elders of the Shen family definitely do not want their youngest daughter to marry outside again. However, Shen Lin, the younger daughter, was still married like her eldest sister, and the conditions of the person she married were not very good.
Her sister married in another province. After all, the man was a second-generation rich man from the city. He had a car, a house and food and clothing. Her sister only had to take care of the children at home every day.
As for Chen Feng, who came from the countryside of Lushi, he had no car, no house, and no savings in Xiuzhou. Although his job seemed pretty good at the time, if he only relied on his salary, he would have to work hard for several years to pay it off. With the down payment to buy a house, it can be said that Chen Feng at that time had nothing but good looks.
At that time, after knowing the details of Chen Feng, the two elders were of course firmly opposed to Shen Lin marrying him.
So much so that when Chen Feng took Shen Lin over to propose marriage, they were treated coldly by them and there was no communication throughout the process. Although they did not throw the gifts brought by Chen Feng directly out of the house, it was no better. Where to go.
Chen Feng still remembered the embarrassment of that day, but he really didn't resent them in his heart. After all, he had accomplished nothing at that time. He had no car or house. No other parent would have agreed to the marriage so easily.
At that time, he left alone first, while Shen Lin stayed to continue her work as a parent.
Unfortunately, his parents' attitude was very firm and they were firmly opposed to their marriage.
But Shen Lin was as determined as if she had been weighed down by a weight. Regardless of their firm opposition, including the threat of severing ties with her family, she resolutely married Chen Feng.
They were so angry that they didn't even attend their daughter's wedding in Lushi. Of course, they themselves didn't have any procedures and ceremonies for their daughter's wedding, and there was no banquet.
Shen Lin's marriage to Chen Feng at that time could be said to have excluded her natal family, so much so that her parents never came to see them even after they got married.
In the first year of Chinese New Year, Chen Feng and Shen Lin went to her house to pay New Year greetings. Her parents remained cold-faced throughout the whole process, but at least they didn't kick his frivolous son-in-law out of the house. But the atmosphere of that scene was really depressing.
After Chen Feng reluctantly stayed for a day, he left in a hurry. The next year, Chen Feng and Shen Lin also went to see the Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, and National Day. Their attitude remained the same, they didn't chase people away, but they still looked cold throughout the whole process.
Later, due to changes in work and the quarrels and cold wars he started with Shen Lin, Chen Feng never met them again.
Until now, he and Shen Lin have been divorced for so long before they see each other again. When they faced Chen Feng, they still had cold faces, as if they couldn't even smile.
"Uncle, aunt, you are here, please sit down. Order whatever you want to eat."
Chen Feng stood up and greeted them politely. Chen Feng just glanced at Shen Lin, who was pulling a face, but didn't say anything.
Mother Shen was the first to hold back her anger and opened fire on Chen Feng: "Chen Feng, where did you get the confidence and courage to divorce my daughter? For a poor boy from the countryside like you, my daughter didn't I don't think you are poor, but I don't think you have any future. I want to marry you. You actually have the nerve to divorce her. Tell me, my daughter. How can I not be worthy of you? You ungrateful bastard!"
Father Shen also immediately picked up and stared at Chen Feng angrily: "You must give us an explanation today, otherwise, I will tell you. It’s not over.”
After hearing what they said, Chen Feng only frowned and was not too angry. Because as parents, they naturally side with their daughters.
Chen Feng said to them in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "Haven't you always been opposed to my marriage to Shen Lin? Now that we are divorced and we don't have children, doesn't this just suit your wishes? You can definitely give it to me next time. She can find a better one."
Mother Shen snorted: "We saw you early. I am a white-eyed wolf, Chen Shimei, so I have always opposed Xiaolin's marriage to you. But Xiaolin has done nothing wrong. Why did you want to divorce her? She was willing to sever ties with us because of you. Tell me, Do you still have a conscience? She treats you with all her heart, but you want to divorce her?"
Chen Feng frowned? Said: "You mean that divorce can only be initiated by your daughter, not me."
Mother Shen nodded matter-of-factly and said, "Of course. My daughter has paid so much for you, and she has wasted so much precious money. After several years of youth, you divorced her easily. Do you know how much damage it caused to her? The butt is gone, there is no loss at all, you have to touch your conscience, are you worthy of her? "
Father Shen said with a fierce look: "My daughter was blind before she fell in love with her? You Chen Shimei, you must give us an explanation, otherwise we will never make it easy for you.”
Chen Feng held back the anger rising in his heart, looked at Shen Lin and said, "Shen Lin, what on earth did you say to your parents? I don't think I'm sorry for you. Although I was the first to propose the divorce, you have to ask yourself, You never thought about divorcing me at that time? I just put your thoughts first. Just say it first. Is this wrong? I proposed to divorce you for your own good. I didn’t want to drag you down."
Chen Feng was telling the truth. When he knew that he was terminally ill, The first feeling was of course despair, and the next was that she didn't want to drag Shen Lin down.
Although they had been in a cold war for some time at that time, and their feelings for each other were almost worn out, he was still very conscientious and did not want to harm her.
But Shen Lin didn't know that he was terminally ill. After seeing Wu Mengting last time, she had always suspected that Chen Feng had a mistress outside, and then she filed for divorce.
Even though Chen Feng had explained it before, and now he had broken up with Wu Mengting, she still did not let go of the suspicion in her heart. She snorted and said, "What can I tell them? I'm just stating the facts. Just say that you initiated the divorce and I tried to get it back, but in the end it didn’t work.”
This is also true. Shen Lin did give him a chance and tried to save him, but it was unknown how sincere she was.
At least in Chen Feng's view, the so-called opportunity Shen Lin gave him was a kind of charity and a kind of irony. Of course he wouldn't accept it.
However, it is useless to argue about these now. Chen Feng does not want to argue with them.
"Okay. So what do you mean now? What explanation do you want me to give you?" Chen Feng asked straight to the point, looking at Father Shen.
Father Shen was also unambiguous and immediately said: "It's very simple. My daughter has wasted so many years of her youth with you. You can't just walk away and leave nothing for my daughter. So, you must Pay my daughter 500,000 yuan for the loss of her youth.”
Shen Lin’s eyes widened when she heard this. , shouted to Father Shen angrily: "Dad, what are you talking nonsense about? When did I ask him to compensate?"
Father Shen also glared and said: "You damn girl, you have wasted so much time by following him. After years of youth, isn’t it normal for other couples to be divorced and ask him to compensate for the loss of youth, even if the wife was married before marriage? If you are penniless, you will get a lot of property after divorce. If you have two houses, you can still get one. Look at you, you divorced him and you didn't get a cent. Is this dead girl’s brain broken?”
Mother Shen also said angrily: “We have tried our best to take care of him. Regarding his family situation, he only needs 500,000, otherwise 5 million is not much. You have been with him for more than five years, isn’t it more than 100,000 a year?”
"You...are you so mad at me? You make me feel like I'm being sold out." Shen Lin's face turned red with anger.
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Shen's mother reprimanded her daughter and emphasized, "This is youth loss compensation and breakup compensation. As long as he still has some conscience, he should give it to you. Otherwise, you will have followed him these few years in vain. "
Shen Lin was so angry that she said loudly: "Do you think I was with him for money? Where are you going to put my face in this way?"
Father Shen also said angrily: " You are all divorced, still What kind of face do you want?"
Shen Lin wanted to say more, but Chen Feng said, "Okay, okay, I understand what you mean. I can give it to you. Let’s all sit down first. Let’s have a good meal together.”
As soon as Chen Feng said this, all three of the Shen family were shocked. They all looked at him in surprise.
"Please sit down, everyone." Chen Feng stretched out his hand to invite them to sit down, looking polite.
The three Shen family members looked at each other for a while. Finally, Father Shen took the lead and sat down opposite Chen Feng and asked, "Are you really willing to compensate my daughter for the breakup fee of 500,000 yuan?"
Chen Feng nodded calmly: "Yes. After dinner, I Just give her 500,000 yuan."
Father Shen was stunned and asked, "Can you give her 500,000 yuan at once?"
Chen Feng said in a relaxed tone: "Of course. I made some money from stock trading some time ago, and 500,000 is more than enough.”
All three members of the Shen family were doubtful.
Shen Lin stared at Chen Feng for a while, and her intuition told her that Chen Feng was not lying.
However, Shen Lin still said with a cold face: "I don't want your dirty money."
"Shen Lin, don't refuse." Chen Feng said solemnly, "This money is What I give you willingly is a little compensation for you. I know I let you down before, but now. I finally have some money, so I should give you some flowers."
Shen Lin's eyes couldn't help but blush when she heard this, her cold expression suddenly became unbearable, and she said with a slight trembling: "If you had done it earlier. Talk to me like this and work hard, why are we like this?”
Chen Fengxin said that not everyone can get rich by working hard, it all depends on luck.
However, her words still touched Chen Feng to some extent. After all, the two of them were in love at the beginning, and this cannot be lied.
"There is no point in talking about it now." Chen Feng shook his head after speaking, and then rang the service bell to let the waiter in.
“Let’s have some of your signature dishes, and a bottle of Feitian and two bottles of juice. That’s it for now.”
Chen Feng has no intention of letting them order. , and the decision was made directly.
After the waiter left, Chen Feng said to them: "You must have heard of Fumanlou's signature dishes, right?"
Fumanlou is a time-honored restaurant in Xiuzhou. As Xiuzhou people, even though they I am from the county below, but I still know something about Fumanlou.
So, when they heard Chen Feng say that he would serve all the signature dishes, they were shocked. According to Chen Feng’s standards, tens of thousands of yuan is indispensable, but the Feitian Moutai he ordered was nothing. .
Therefore, the three Shen family members didn’t know what to say for a while.
Finally, Shen Lin spoke. She looked at Chen Feng with complicated eyes and said, "It seems that you have really made money now. But, is it really all earned from stock trading? I remember You’ve never traded in stocks before.”
"Forget it if you don't believe it."
Everyone fell into silence for a while.
Not long after, the waiter knocked on the door and came in, bringing them a pot of tea.
After the waiter poured them tea and went out, Mother Shen suddenly sighed and said, "Actually, it's not that we have to ask you to pay for the loss of youth. It's just that we thought of Xiaolin following her without any regrets. After living with you for so many years, it ended up like this. As parents, we will definitely feel uncomfortable. If you can have a good talk and try dating again, we will definitely not want your money.”
Shen Lin didn't speak when she heard this, she just looked at Chen Feng silently.
"This money must be given." Chen Feng said without any hesitation, "I must bear most of the responsibility for the divorce. Now that I have money, I should compensate Shen Lin. As for dating again, I don't think it is necessary. . Before we got divorced , there were already problems and rifts in their relationship. After the divorce, everything became a thing of the past, and it was impossible to mend it. "
