Chapter 217: Lin Feng, a Social Person

~10 min read 1,840 words

Galaxy Community, Building 3, Unit 203.

Lin Feng pressed the doorbell.

The door opened.

The heating wasn't on.

Jiang Xiaofei was wearing a thick white down jacket.

"Brother Feng..."

Jiang Xiaofei called out somewhat anxiously.

When Lin Feng reached the doorway, he heard someone inside.

"Why isn't the heating on?"

Lin Feng said lightly.

Just then, a middle-aged woman pushed a wheelchair out from behind a partition cabinet.

A middle-aged man sat in the wheelchair.

Jiang Xiaofei explained: "Brother Feng, I, my phone was taken by my parents, so..."

"Uncle, Auntie, hello!"

Lin Feng greeted the two.

Jiang Xiaofei's father furrowed his brow and remained silent.

Jiang Xiaofei's mother, Bao Huifang, smiled and said: "Boss Lin, you've come!"

"Xiaofei, your parents came to Yanjing, why didn't you let me know?"

Lin Feng looked at Jiang Xiaofei, smiling as he asked.

Bao Huifang laughed and said: "We didn't notify you; we came by train ourselves."

After saying that, she immediately added: "Boss Lin, please have a seat!"

"Okay!"

Lin Feng sat down on the sofa.

Jiang Xiaofei immediately poured Lin Feng a cup of tea.

After sizing up Bao Huifang, Lin Feng smiled and said: "You two came this time for something, right? Just speak plainly."

He lowered his head.

Bao Huifang chuckled and said: "Boss Lin, we already know about you and Xiaofei. You certainly don't intend to marry Xiaofei, do you?"

"Hmm!"

Lin Feng nodded.

Bao Huifang said: "We're all from poor mountain valleys, we're pragmatic; actually, we don't blame Xiaofei. Xiaofei said that what happened between you two initially, I and her father are very grateful to you."

"But if you and Xiaofei don't marry, Xiaofei's future has no security."

"You see in TV dramas, even if you have a child, the child ends up being taken away, leaving a lonely woman..."

Lin Feng slightly furrowed his brow.

"This woman watches too many TV dramas, huh?"

Bao Huifang paused, then continued: "If Boss Lin truly likes Xiaofei, we hope you will plan for Xiaofei's future..."

Lin Feng chuckled and said: "Auntie, just speak plainly! I don't like beating around the bush."

Bao Huifang said: "Ten thousand! You take out ten thousand, we'll keep it for Xiaofei, in case you later dislike Xiaofei, she'll also have a guarantee, right?"

As she said this, Bao Huifang's eyes showed a greedy look.

Lin Feng turned to Jiang Xiaofei and said: "Xiaofei, go buy a pack of Hua Zi cigarettes."

"Oh, okay!"

Jiang Xiaofei immediately got up, changed her shoes, and went out.

After the door was closed, Lin Feng took out a cigarette, lit one, and handed it over.

"Thanks!"

He took it somewhat hesitantly.

After lighting it for him, Lin Feng lit another for himself and took a puff.

Having Jiang Xiaofei go buy cigarettes was to get her out of the way.

Lin Feng smiled and said: "Uncle, Auntie, a person shouldn't earn or possess wealth beyond their own ability. How about letting Xiaofei send you 200,000 each year?"

He and Bao Huifang were taken aback.

200,000!

Previously, working to exhaustion at the construction site, aside from expenses, the money sent home was less than 80,000.

An annual 200,000 equals what two able-bodied laborers from the Jiang family would earn working at the construction site.

Bao Huifang calculated it in her mind.

One year 200,000, she wants ten thousand, wants two.

This year they are both over forty; after two, they'll be nearly seventy.

Their health isn't great; whether they can live to seventy is questionable!

And we haven't even counted interest.

Ten thousand in a fixed deposit, two could double.

Obviously not worth it.

Jiang Xiaofei's two brothers have poor school performance; in two years they'll need wives, and an annual 200,000 is clearly insufficient.

"Boss Lin, this... I think ten thousand would be better."

Bao Huifang laughed and said.

Oh, like that...

Lin Feng furrowed his brows.

Seeing Lin Feng not speak for a moment, Bao Huifang's smile gradually faded.

A few minutes later.

Lin Feng pressed the cigarette butt into the ashtray.

He originally wanted to explain some reasoning to these two,

but Lin Feng suddenly felt that even if he explained it in the simplest terms, he could not convince these two.

The one who calls the shots at home is Bao Huifang, unfortunately she is a short-sighted woman.

Lin Feng then carefully examined their appearances.

In his mind, he overlaid their features, but no matter how he tried, he could not form Jiang Xiaofei's likeness.

"Jiang Xiaofei, you're not their biological daughter, are you?"

Lin Feng said calmly.

Bao Huifang and Lin Feng were stunned, faces full of shock.

They had never told anyone about this matter, so how did Lin Feng know?

Lin Feng laughed and said: "Xiaofei's appearance bears no resemblance to the two of you at all; it's obvious at a glance, no need for any paternity test."

Bao Huifang grew anxious, "Boss Lin, what do you mean by this? I tell you, regardless of whether Xiaofei is our biological child..."

Before she could finish, Lin Feng said calmly: "Stop! I didn't mean anything else by this; I just want to get the unpleasantness out of the way first."

"You say!"

He said with a sullen face.

Lin Feng said: "You took ten thousand; from now on you cannot ask for more money, whether from me or from Xiaofei's side.

Furthermore, if anything comes up in your family, do not seek Xiaofei.

Of course, for holidays, birthdays, and the like, if she comes home to visit you, giving you a few thousand or ten thousand, I have no objection."

After Lin Feng finished, Bao Huifang's eyes shifted, she laughed and said: "No problem! Take the ten thousand, and we won't interfere with whatever goes on between you and Xiaofei from now on."

"Hehe!"

Lin Feng chuckled.

How could he fail to hear the meaning in Bao Huifang's words?

This woman probably has her mind twisted in several ways; taking ten thousand this time, next time twenty thousand... she simply didn't take to heart the conditions Lin Feng mentioned earlier.

Lin Feng reached into his waist and pulled out a Type 92 pistol.

"Gun!"

"Stunned!"

Bao Huifang frightened, retreated several steps.

But she quickly reacted.

"I guess the gun is fake!"

Lin Feng raised the gun and pointed it at Bao Huifang.

"Bang~"

A gunshot rang out.

The bullet nearly grazed Bao Huifang's ear as it flew past.

It then struck the water dispenser.

The water bottle burst open, spraying pure water everywhere.

"Gun! Gun! You are... a Society Person!"

After Bao Huifang came to her senses, she pointed at Lin Feng and said dumbfounded.

As she spoke, her whole body trembled.

Her mouth hung open, she was already frightened stiff.

Lin Feng put away the gun, smiling and said: "Don't treat my words as wind in your ears; after you take back the ten thousand, it's best to deposit it in the bank to earn interest. A fixed-term deposit would yield about two hundred thousand in a year."

"Oh oh! Okay!"

Bao Huifang hurriedly nodded and said.

Seeing Lin Feng put the gun away, the couple both breathed a sigh of relief.

Lin Feng had Bao Huifang provide her bank card number, then took out his phone to log into the bank account and transferred 5 million to Bao Huifang.

A few minutes later, Bao Huifang received a text message from the bank.

"You may leave now."

Lin Feng said calmly.

Lin Feng not speaking, Bao Huifang and he also wanted to run; she pushed him away as if fleeing.

After taking the elevator downstairs, Bao Huifang almost pushed him as she ran.

"You rascal, do you think we should call the police?"

He said anxiously.

Bao Huifang said: "What's the point of calling the police? If we do, our ten thousand will be gone."

"Oh yes, oh yes!"

He nodded repeatedly.

Bao Huifang said: "This person is not to be provoked; from now on we should avoid him, lest he get into trouble later, be arrested, and drag us into it as well."

"Is Xiao Fei going home?"

They said.

As for Jiang Xiaofei, this adopted daughter, their heart still had some feelings.

He was the one who picked Jiang Xiaofei up from the roadside and brought her home.

At that time, Jiang Xiaofei had a scar on her face, which was very unsightly.

It is estimated that after someone in a nearby village gave birth, seeing that Jiang Xiaofei was too ugly, they threw her onto the roadside.

After bringing her home, Madam Bao Huifang despised her immensely.

Fortunately, at that time his parents were still alive and they raised Jiang Xiaofei.

After the two elders passed away one after another, only then was she taken back home.

At this time, Jiang Xiaofei's facial scar had surprisingly disappeared, and she looked lively and lovely.

Only then did Madam Bao Huifang acknowledge her as her daughter.

On the contrary, he didn't think much of it, but Madam Bao Huifang had been scheming about Jiang Xiaofei for a long time.

Wait until this girl grows up and becomes beautiful; she will surely fetch a large betrothal sum.

Later, why did they let Jiang Xiaofei go to Yanjing to study using borrowed money?

Because big cities have many wealthy people...

A village girl a few years older than Jiang Xiaofei, pretty, went to Guangdong to work and was taken notice of by a big boss.

That girl had a nickname, Chunli.

One New Year, the big boss even drove Chunli back home and had a villa‑style house built for her family, costing tens of thousands.

Now Chunli is no longer with the big boss, because she has given birth to a daughter.

The big boss didn't even want the daughter, gave Chunli over two million as a severance, and still sends over ten thousand each year for support.

Later Chunli took in a handsome young man ten years younger than herself who came to live with her.

Nowadays, their life is so leisurely it's hard to describe.

All day they do nothing but play mahjong and snack on melon seeds.

The villagers not only do not mock Chunli, they even envy her greatly.

Xiao Fei is even prettier than Chunli; there's no reason she wouldn't be taken notice of by the big boss.

To let Jiang Xiaofei go to university and enter the big city, Madam Bao Huifang had taken Chunli as a model.

Xiao Fei found a big boss, but this big boss turned out to be a Boss of Society People!

Before, Madam Bao Huifang was thinking of taking ten thousand, and could still get some money each year from Lin Feng.

But now... ten thousand is too hot to handle!

"Kid's dad, we should just put this money in the bank to earn interest! If Boss Lin runs into trouble later, we can just return the principal, right!"

After thinking, Madam Bao Huifang said.

"You decide!"

He nodded blankly.
