Chapter 502

~6 min read 1,041 words

The matter between the Zhang and Li families isn't guaranteed just because both sides have agreed.

If Li Huiying opposes too strongly, it will probably fall through.

Thus, when Song Zhongxi first proposed this, he hesitated.

First, regardless of whether it succeeds, even if it does, with Zhang Shangren's ability, he could never control a woman like Li Huiying.

In the future, the household would likely be in chaos, becoming a laughingstock.

But Zhang Shangxun, this grandson, is different.

First, he is handsome and well-matched with Li Huiying.

Second, he also has talent.

Thus, the marriage alliance is likely to succeed.

Zhang Zaixuan sized up Lin Feng, and the more he looked, the more he felt Lin Feng was exactly like his deceased eldest son Zhang Xunzhe!

Aside from some differences in appearance, his character, demeanor, erudition...

The somewhat superstitious Zhang Zaixuan thought that the deceased Xunzhe, seeing him so grief-stricken, had brought back this grandson who had wandered abroad for twenty years to keep him company.

"Huh~"

After letting out a breath, Zhang Zaixuan glanced at the outside sky and had Lin Feng keep him company for dinner.

While eating, they chatted.

Lin Feng's flattery was skillful, making Zhang Zaixuan very happy, and he drank an extra bowl of porridge.

But after all, he is a man in his seventies.

After resting a while after dinner, his energy gave out.

Lin Feng was arranged to rest in a guest room in the courtyard.

Just now at dinner, Zhang Zaixuan, pleased, said he would give Lin Feng a residence, asking whether Lin Feng preferred a suburban villa or an apartment building.

Lin Feng said he preferred an apartment building.

Zhang Zaixuan nodded and then dropped the topic.

Before resting, Zhang Zaixuan summoned his strength and ordered the steward Shen Rongcan to give Lin Feng an apartment, large and luxurious.

Having said that, he lay down on the bed and soon began to snore.

In the guest room, Lin Feng couldn't sleep for a while, lying with his hands behind his head, staring at the ceiling.

In his mind he wondered when he would return to Yanjing.

Probably only after marrying Li Huiying with this identity would he be able to do so.

By the end of this month, that batch of gold in the Amazon Rainforest should have been mostly transported.

How is the situation on Jasmine Island?

How is Qi Yao doing now?

Thinking of these, Lin Feng fell asleep without realizing it.

At the same moment.

In a high-rise apartment in Hancheng, Li Huiying, wearing a nightgown, was sitting on the sofa watching TV.

It was the famous Han Guo drama "You Who Came from the Stars".

It is a TV series that aired at the end of last year, now finished, and extremely popular.

Before, she had been busy with company affairs and had no time to watch.

Now she has free time, finally she has time.

She would laugh for a moment, then cry the next.

She laughed at the modern-era plot between the professor and Cheon Song-yi, and cried at the ancient prologue of each episode.

If company subordinates saw Li Huiying like this, they would probably think they were hallucinating.

Usually at the company, subordinates had never seen Li Huiying smile.

Even when senior executives came over, Li Huiying remained stone-faced.

Because she is a child of a conglomerate family, she needs to give no one a pleasant expression.

At this moment, with no outsiders present, Li Huiying revealed her true nature.

"Alien husband, I want one too!"

After an episode ended, Li Huiying gazed out the window and muttered.

Just then, she saw a meteor streak across the sky.

She quickly closed her eyes, clasped her fists, and made a wish.

"My family practically wants to marry me off immediately; divine spirits, bless me to meet a man like Ahn Min-joon..."

"Huh~"

After opening her eyes, she exhaled.

Seeing that it was late, she hurriedly turned off the TV.

She went to bed to sleep.

Staying up late is very bad for the skin.

"If only there were a mask that could keep my face forever beautiful..."

Having muttered that, Li Huiying closed her eyes.

Is this the second wish?

As she was dozing off, her phone suddenly rang.

Li Huiying gritted her teeth and picked up the phone placed on the bedside table.

It was her mother calling.

What's the point of calling this late?

Li Huiying muttered something and answered the phone.

Hey! Huiying!

Li Huiying's mother's voice came from the phone.

What's up?

Li Huiying said indifferently.

The impatient expression on her face disappeared, her tone became calm, as if devoid of emotion.

She truly had no feelings for her family.

Since childhood, Li Huiying had never experienced what familial affection is.

Her mother wasn't the principal wife, and she herself was an illegitimate daughter.

Her father was a well-known conglomerate in Han Guo.

Children like her were not uncommon in the household.

To avoid being overlooked, she had studied hard and trained her abilities since childhood.

Only then did she attain her current position.

If she hadn't strived, she would likely now be a plaything of another family.

Don't think that being born into a conglomerate family means a life free of worries.

A woman who isn't valued, even if she marries into another family, will still be bullied.

Moreover, men from conglomerate families still like to beat women.

A younger sister of hers, lacking ability, was beaten to death by domestic violence after marriage.

No one has yet sought justice for her.

Of course, Li Huiying now has nothing to worry about on that front.

Even if she marries, given her current abilities, she will certainly become the principal wife and heiress of some family.

Huiying, go on a blind date tomorrow morning; it's Zhang Zaixuan's grandson from the Zhang Family, at eight a. m., remember!

Li Huiying's mother said that and then hung up.

After putting down the phone, Li Huiying covered her head and shook it.

She muttered, "I won't go, I won't go, I won't go..."

But when seven o'clock came and the alarm woke her, she still got up, washed up, put on makeup, changed clothes...
