Chapter 677 The Quagmire of Marriage
The words of his parents left Chen Feng speechless.
After all, what they said was true. Among the women he knew, if he really wanted to find someone to be his wife, Wu Mengting would undoubtedly be the most suitable.
But the problem is that he really doesn’t want to remarry, not only because he is terminally ill and has not recovered yet, but mainly because he really doesn’t want to fall into the quagmire of marriage anymore.
Although from the current point of view, Wu Mengting is considerate to him and will be a good wife, but after experiencing a failed marriage, he is really afraid of being bitten by a snake for ten years. The feeling of rope.
When he and his ex-wife Shen Lin first started, weren't they loving, happy and sweet?
But in the end it ended in divorce.
Although he knew very well that the main reason why the two divorced was that he earned too little money, which was completely different from who he is now.
But he has already lost confidence in love and marriage, and he doesn't want to make the same mistakes again.
Besides, it had only been a year since the divorce, and he was about to get engaged. He felt in his heart that it was too soon.
It's just that it's not easy to tell his parents about these thoughts in his heart, because if he does, he will definitely be bombarded, so he just doesn't say them.
He is just a little curious now, why his parents suddenly had a video connection with Wu Mengting's parents, and even talked about their marriage.
There must be something fishy about this!
So, after being silent for a while and listening to his parents talking about each other for a while, he asked directly: "Dad, Mom, why did you suddenly video chat with Mengting's parents last night? Is it you? Did you propose it on your own initiative?"
Zhao Xiaolan said: "Yesterday I was on the phone with Xiaoting the other night, and she said that her parents asked her about her relationship with you, and she didn’t know how to answer. Her parents said they hoped they could get married as soon as possible. I also felt that her parents You're right, you have to give people a clearer explanation.
So, I directly contacted her parents via video call and had a good talk with them. Her parents are nice people and easy to talk to. They said that if they really want to get engaged, we will have the final say on everything, including the amount of the bride price. I don’t care too much, I just want to finalize your marriage before the end of the year. "
When Chen Feng heard what his mother said, he knew that the cause of this incident was Wu Mengting and her parents.
Chen Feng had had unpleasant meetings and conversations with her father before. At first, she Dad objected to her dating him, and later tried to force him to make a will in advance to make Wu Mengting his inheritance until Chen Feng said that he would give Wu Mengting 10 million a year. Later, her father changed his attitude and urged her to confirm the relationship and get engaged with him as soon as possible.
In short, that unpleasant meeting and conversation made him have a bad impression of Wu's father. He is also a little disappointed with Wu Mengting.
Of course, the most important thing is that he really doesn't want to get engaged so early and be bound by marriage again.
However, he would not tell his parents about this, because it would be useless.
After his parents went to work, Chen Feng called Wu Mengting directly.
"Meng Ting, my parents had a video chat with your parents last night, and they said that we will get married by the end of the year, and we will be engaged by the end of the year. Do you know?"
Chen Feng Get straight to the point as soon as you open your mouth.
After Wu Mengting was silent for a short time, she said: "I knew it last night, and I also hope that we can get engaged soon. Don't you want to?"
After she knew that Chen Feng had found a new woman yesterday, she felt that she could no longer let Chen Feng continue to wander around, because if he continued like this, there was a chance that he would suddenly fall in love with a certain woman and become obsessed with her. I want to marry that woman.
This kind of thing happened to many swingers, and she didn’t want Chen Feng to do it too.
So, after a day of thinking, she immediately contacted her parents, communicated in advance, and then contacted Zhao Xiaolan to "complain", and naturally let Zhao Xiaolan contact her parents. , and then the marriage of the children of both parties was officially confirmed.
Now that the parents of both parties have generally reached an agreement, all that remains is to pick a date and agree on the specific details such as the amount of betrothal gifts.
A matchmaker is needed to communicate and coordinate between the two parties. If the parents of both parties cannot discuss money directly, the matchmaker will pass the news.
And with the matchmaker, the marriage seemed more formal and grand.
The parents of both parties are currently looking for a good matchmaker, and of course the main choice is the man’s side.
There are still three or four months until the end of the year, so I am not in a hurry, but it is necessary for both parents to have some peace of mind in advance and make some preparations in advance.
Now Wu Mengting has made it clear that she wants to get engaged to Chen Feng at the end of the year. Chen Feng has also promised her before that he will formally confirm his relationship with her in the middle of this month, and even have a relationship with her in the future. If he can marry her, then getting engaged before the end of the year will become inevitable.
Faced with Wu Mengting’s questioning, Chen Feng was also very direct: “I don’t want to get engaged to you so early, because it would be irresponsible to you. You should know that even if my illness improves, I will not be able to get engaged now. I haven’t recovered yet, and the future is full of uncertainties, so I don’t want to hurt you before I recover.”
"Don't say these high-sounding words to me." Wu Mengting exposed him directly and said rudely, "I think you have let your heart run wild now. You can't take it back. You don't want to be bound by feelings and marriage."
After hearing what she said, Chen Feng felt embarrassed that his lie had been exposed, but he quickly returned to normal and said calmly: "I don't deny that there are reasons for this, but what I just said is not entirely a lie. You also know my condition very well Chu, even if it is getting better now, it is a terminal disease after all, and there is a high probability that he will die within a few years. If we get married, if I die and you become a widow in a few years, your life will be ruined. In addition, I will. This person is very selfish and really doesn’t want his wife to remarry and his children to call someone else their father after he dies.” Wu Mengting couldn’t help but feel excited after hearing Chen Feng’s bastard words. Angry and swearing.
Now she still couldn't hear Chen Feng's death words. She suppressed the anger in her heart and said as calmly as possible: "We made an agreement back then. This month you have to fulfill our agreement. Officially confirm your relationship with me. Then, we will go to a big hospital to have a good treatment. Please do a physical examination.
I believe that your condition has improved a lot. As long as you stay stable, you can live as long as a normal person. Therefore, after I get engaged and married to you, I will not talk about my love. A lifetime, but at least we can live together like normal people for decades.”
What she said was both emotional and reasonable. Chen Feng didn't know how to refute it for a while, so he could only say with some trespassing: "I just got divorced last year. I don't want to enter the grave of marriage again so soon. I feel sorry for him so soon." I had absolutely no confidence in starting my second marriage. , I have become accustomed to romance, and it is difficult to break off relationships with other women. Even if we get engaged and married, I can't guarantee that we will have no contact with Xiaorui and the others."
Chen Feng said it all. At this point, Wu Mengting also knew that she had to Compromising, she took a deep breath and said: "We said last time that I can give you a buffer period of three months. What do you think? After we get engaged, I can give you three months. Time, let you make a complete break with them."
This trick. Taking retreat in order to advance made Chen Feng a little speechless. He could only say shamelessly: "Three months is too short. I hope that after we get married, I can slowly break off the relationship with them."
< br>"Then tell me, when will we get married?" Wu Mengting asked, holding back her anger.
Chen Feng said matter-of-factly: "At least until you are twenty-five years old."
"Wouldn't it be another two years?"
"Two years is not long."
"You will be 32 years old in two years."
"But You won’t turn 25 in two years, I can wait for you.”< br>
"...I don't need you to wait. I hope to get married by May Day next year at the latest. My parents and your parents also want this." Wu Mengting directly used her elders to suppress Chen Feng, which made Chen Feng Chen Feng felt even more unhappy.
But he didn’t want to quarrel with her on the phone. He just said: "You have to think about it, I am really not a good husband candidate now. Even if I marry you, there will be a big difference. The probability will be cheating."
Wu Mengting gritted her teeth and said: " I am emotionally stubborn. Now that I have identified you, even if you are a bad person, I still want to give it a try. Maybe after we get married, you will calm down and I will still be willing to believe you. "
After she said such things, what else could Chen Feng say? What he just said was scoundrel and scumbag enough, but she just resisted.
Wu Mengting seemed determined to marry him. Chen Feng would rather believe that this stubborn behavior was a flaw in her character rather than because she loved him to the core.
He doesn't seem to have that much charisma.
From the time the two met to know each other, they were not in love, and they did not experience any unforgettable stories. He was really not confident enough to let her marry him based on his personality charm alone.
So, the greatest possibility is that Wu Mengting is not exempt from this, because his wealth makes her not want to just abandon his blue chip stock.
He even went further and maliciously guessed that the reason why she was so eager to marry him was because she wanted to inherit his inheritance as his wife in the future.
Of course, Chen Feng didn't want to think like this. He hoped that Wu Mengting was forced to marry just because of her love for him and her stubborn character.
After a moment of silence, Chen Feng said again: "Think carefully, maybe in the end, you will get nothing and even suffer emotional trauma."
Wu Mengting said firmly: "If you really want to That's my own fault. , I can’t blame you.”
“Okay, let’s talk about this topic today. I’ll talk to you face to face in two days.”
Chen Feng said. After saying this, he hung up the phone directly.
Both of them sat there for a while with complicated thoughts before they recovered.
As Chen Feng said just now, he really doesn't want to enter the grave of marriage again. He now has money, leisure, and no shortage of women. He really doesn't want to start a marriage again that is likely to end in tragedy.
To put it simply, he is really afraid of marriage now.
Wu Mengting, on the other hand, was stubborn. She had identified Chen Feng early on and wanted to marry him and start a family.
Even though she knew that Chen Feng was terminally ill, she never gave up or regretted it. She really couldn't pull him back.
As for whether this was due to Chen Feng's wealth, she couldn't tell. Of course, it was impossible to say that it had no influence at all.
If Chen Feng was a pauper now, just like he was before the divorce, would she still have this obsession to marry him?
This is obviously difficult to say.
After all, many people are very rational and realistic, especially in today's materialistic society. When everyone looks at anyone and anything, they are accustomed to pricing it. Before, I would only consider whether it was worth it, not whether it was meaningful.
Including marriage, most women will only consider whether the man's material aspects can meet their future life needs, and the emotional aspects will come second.
Of course, nothing is absolute. Wu Mengting thinks that she does not fall in love with Chen Feng because of Chen Feng’s wealth, but because she likes and loves Chen Feng from the bottom of her heart. She doesn’t know why she falls in love with Chen Feng. But I fell in love so inexplicably.
Therefore, she wanted to marry Chen Feng. This is a very reasonable request.
The problem now is that Chen Feng wants to "regret the marriage", which forces her to press hard step by step and make some kind of compromise with Chen Feng step by step.
Now she has given a three-month buffer period as a compromise, but Chen Feng is obviously not satisfied yet.
She could only wait until Chen Feng returned to Xiuzhou so that the two could face each other and have a frank talk. After Chen Feng hung up the phone, he was no longer in the mood to watch short videos and read novels.
Wu Mengting's method of forcing marriage made him feel like a curse was about to be placed on his head.
After eating breakfast and sitting there for a while, Chen Feng found the time to check a few unread WeChat messages.
Among them was one that Yu Xiaohui sent not long ago, saying that it had arrived at Lin Nan, which was early enough.
In addition, she also asked Chen Feng when the brand assessment team would arrive and if she wanted to pick them up.
Chen Feng said that there was no need to go all the way to the airport to pick them up for their noon flight this year. They would come to Lin Nan by car, and Yu Xiaohui would just come out to receive them on his behalf.
Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here. Just as Chen Feng was talking to Yu Xiaohui about this, he received a call from the leader of the assessment team, saying that they were about to board the plane now and were expected to arrive in an hour and a half. Lushi Airport.
There were only three of them in their group, two men and one woman.
Chen Feng was polite and asked if he wanted to pick them up, but the team leader said no.
Then Chen Feng asked if he wanted to book a hotel for them, but the other party said that they had already booked it online.
Listening to the other party’s tone, it didn’t sound like he was being polite.
This gave Chen Feng a good impression of them. Chen Feng hated those people who were sent on official duties the most, using chicken feathers as arrows, asking for benefits and accepting bribes.
If Zhao Shengsheng's headquarters really sends such a person, Chen Feng may have to consider canceling the alliance with the other party's brand.
Chen Feng finally told the team leader that he was away from Lin Nan today because of something, and asked his assistant to contact them and receive them.
The other party has no objection.
After that, Chen Feng gave the team leader’s mobile phone number to Yu Xiaohui and asked her to contact and connect with him.
Yu Xiaohui quickly got in touch with the other party and asked about the other party's work process. They only needed to cooperate with the other party to carry out some necessary review work.
