After the divorce, I started to transfer

Although Elaine Chao was a rural woman with little formal education, she was not illiterate; she had attended primary school and was literate.

Her biggest hobby is watching TV, especially during the years when she ran a small shop at home. Because she had to watch the shop all day, and in order to attract customers, the TV in the shop was basically on all day. Whenever she had free time, she would watch TV while watching the shop.

After watching television for so many years, she has a general impression of some of the female celebrities who have appeared on TV in China.

The one who impressed her the most was Yang Ziying, otherwise how could she be called a TV Queen? She debuted in her teens and has played many TV drama roles that have left a deep impression on people all over the country.

Yang Ziying has always been a favorite actress of Zhao Xiaolan. Zhao Xiaolan has watched most of the TV series that Yang Ziying has starred in and has a great fondness for her.

When watching the TV series she starred in, Zhao Xiaolan would occasionally have the unrealistic wish that "she would be my daughter-in-law".

But Elaine Chao knew very well that it was just a fleeting thought and not to be taken seriously. In reality, she never expected that her idea would come true.

But now, Chen Feng tells her that Yang Ziying, this big star, is also pregnant with his child. This is even more shocking than when Chen Feng directly told her that he was dating and marrying Yang Ziying.

At this moment, not only was Zhao Xiaolan inexplicably excited and shocked, but Chen Dayong was also dumbfounded, with an expression of disbelief on his face.

Although he doesn't watch TV much normally, over the years, influenced by his wife, he has started watching TV with her after get off work. Naturally, he has also become aware of the famous Chinese star Yang Ziying and has watched many of her TV dramas over the years.

The couple never imagined that such a famous celebrity, whom they both knew, would fall in love with their son and even become pregnant with his child.

How did you get together with her?

After a while, Elaine Chao calmed down a bit and asked her son with curiosity and gossip in her eyes.

Chen Dayong, standing next to him, felt the same way. He couldn't understand how his son had managed to win over Yang Ziying and even get her to willingly have his child, especially since his son was such a womanizer. He figured Yang Ziying must know that too.

Chen Feng certainly couldn't tell the truth, since he and Yang Ziying got together because of a shady deal—one wanted her body, and the other wanted a role.

“Last year, our company collaborated with her on the film ‘When Flowers Bloom,’ where she was the lead actress. That’s how I got to know her, and over time, we became attracted to each other and started dating.”

Chen Feng could only offer this simple explanation.

Elaine Chao asked, "Is it the drama 'When Flowers Bloom Again'? I've seen it. Was your company also involved in this drama?"

Chen Feng asked with some surprise, "This drama was produced by our company. The script was written by Mengting, and she's also the producer. Didn't you know? Didn't Mengting tell you?"

Zhao Xiaolan said irritably, "What do I know? None of you told me. But I've watched this TV series, and it's very well made. I never expected that Tingting wrote it; she really is a top student from Donghai University. By the way, Yang Ziying is pregnant now, and she's willing to have the baby, right?"

Elaine Chao was genuinely worried that Yang Ziying didn't want the child.

“Of course.” Chen Feng nodded firmly. “If she didn’t want to have the baby, I wouldn’t have told you. However, she’s only been pregnant for a little over a month. So, I didn’t tell you before, and I wanted to wait until she was three months pregnant before telling you.”

After letting out a sigh of relief, Zhao Xiaolan cheered up again, praising him with rare enthusiasm: "You truly are my good son. You managed to win over a big star like Yang Ziying, and she's even willing to have your child. I'm a huge fan of hers. If I had known you were so close to her, I would have asked you to get her autograph long ago. So, where is she now? Would it be convenient for us to go see her together?"

Chen Feng immediately refused, saying, "It's not convenient to visit her right now. After all, she's only a little over a month pregnant. Besides, she's quite shy, and if you go to see her like this, she'll feel very embarrassed and uncomfortable."

Zhao Xiaolan thought about it and agreed. Yang Ziying was a big star after all, while her son was a womanizer who nominally had a girlfriend. As an elder, how could she let things go like this? Yang Ziying and Chen Feng had no official relationship.

Thinking of this, Zhao Xiaolan felt indignant on Yang Ziying's behalf. Her gaze towards her son turned unfriendly, and she asked in a harsh tone, "How did you manage to win her over? Did you deceive her feelings? Did you tell her you were single at first?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Feng immediately protested, "Mom, do you think I'm the kind of person who deceives others' feelings? When she collaborated with our company on 'The Season of Flying Flowers,' Mengting was both the screenwriter and producer. She and Mengting are quite close, so how could she not know about Mengting's relationship with me? How could I lie to her and say I was single?"

Chen Feng's words made Zhao Xiaolan's expression even more unpleasant, because she was now feeling indignant on behalf of Wu Mengting. Wu Mengting considered Yang Ziying a friend, but Yang Ziying was cheating on her with Wu Mengting's boyfriend.

And Chen Feng, who is already such a womanizer, still went too far by hooking up with Yang Ziying.

Ultimately, there's no doubt that it's all Chen Feng's fault.

"Tingting is still in the dark about your affair with Yang Ziying, isn't she?" Zhao Xiaolan asked with an unfriendly expression.

Chen Feng could only laugh awkwardly and change the subject, saying, "My relationship with Yang Ziying was an accident, and her pregnancy was also an accident. However, she is not young after all, and she values ​​this child very much. I think it would be best to arrange for you to meet her after she gives birth."

Hearing this, Zhao Xiaolan fell silent. Of course, she desperately wanted to see Yang Ziying immediately, not only because Yang Ziying was pregnant with her son's child, but also because she was a true fan of Yang Ziying, having watched her dramas for so many years. She had only ever seen her on television before, and naturally wanted to see her in real life, especially alive.

But as Chen Feng said, Yang Ziying is a big star after all, and she is different from Shen Lin, her former daughter-in-law. Now that Yang Ziying and Chen Feng have no official relationship, it is a bit inappropriate for her, Chen Feng's mother, to visit her at this time. It will only make things awkward for both of them.

After thinking for a while, Zhao Xiaolan said, "If I didn't know, that would be fine. But now that I know, you want me to wait until she gives birth before we meet again, which is too long. I think it would be better to wait until she's three months pregnant and then find an opportunity to meet her to show us, as parents, how much we value her and to show our basic courtesy. Now that I know she's pregnant with our child, we can't just ignore her forever, can we?"

Chen Dayong chimed in, "That makes sense. Now that we know she's pregnant with your child, we can't pretend we don't know. Out of respect, we should meet with her. You can make the arrangements then."

After thinking for a moment, Chen Feng said, "I need to ask her opinion before I can give you an answer. If she doesn't want to see you then and wants to wait until after she gives birth, we will respect her decision, right?"

After hearing this, Elaine Chao and Dayong Chen exchanged a glance, and then Elaine Chao nodded and said, "Alright then, we will definitely respect her opinion."

Chen Feng smiled and said, "Then let's leave it at that. I'll ask her about it when I have the chance."

Elaine Chao still asked curiously, "How did you manage to hook up with her? She knew you had a girlfriend, and she should have known you were a womanizer, so how did she still end up with you?"

Chen Feng hadn't answered this question before, but now that his mother was asking again, he knew he couldn't avoid it, so he could only answer somewhat awkwardly: "I told you, we're mutually attracted and have fallen for each other. Relationships are hard to predict; once you're attracted to each other, other things don't matter much. Besides, your son is so handsome and worth over a hundred million; things are different now. Many women like me, and Yang Ziying is no exception. She's three years older than me and has been hurt in past relationships. What's more, I helped her out a bit, and we got along well, so we naturally fell for each other. She's a staunch non-marriage advocate. As I just mentioned, she was cheated on emotionally and financially by a scumbag in the past, so she decided long ago that she would never get married. Therefore, she never thought about marrying me, and naturally, she doesn't care much about my womanizing."

Although Zhao Xiaolan and Chen Dayong didn't quite understand Chen Feng's explanation, they could barely accept it. "Then tell me, what's going on with Mengyao? I know you're together. But she already has a daughter, why would she want to have a child with you? Doesn't she have to manage the company? Can she handle it?"

Elaine Chao then asked about Guo Mengyao. Clearly, she didn't place much importance on Guo Mengyao, given that Guo Mengyao was divorced and a mother.

Chen Feng answered easily: "She sold the company and had more free time, so of course she wanted a second child."

Elaine Chao asked in surprise, "Wasn't her company very profitable? Why did she sell it? How much did she get for it?"

"After making enough money, coupled with my advice, and of course, her own desire to have a second child, she sold it. She sold it for 15 billion."

"How much? 15 billion!"

Elaine Chao and Dayong Chen were shocked once again.

They knew that Guo Mengyao ran a cosmetics company and that she made money, but they had never asked her how much she made. They assumed it was at most a few million, maybe ten or twenty million.

But now Chen Feng tells them that Guo Mengyao sold the company for 15 billion, which is completely beyond their understanding and imagination.

Chen Feng remained calm and nodded, saying, "Yes, 15 billion, but it won't be received all at once. It will be paid in installments, and it will take two or three years to receive the full amount."

Zhao Xiaolan swallowed hard, finding it hard to believe that Guo Mengyao was so rich. She recalled how Guo Mengyao used to frequently visit her, bringing gifts and trying to ingratiate herself, while she, though outwardly polite, actually harbored some resentment—the reason, of course, being that Guo Mengyao was married and had a daughter.

Even if her son hadn't become successful, and was still just a wage earner, he would never marry a divorced woman with a child.

But now she realizes that Guo Mengyao is actually so rich, so the fact that she's divorced with a baby girl seems irrelevant.

"Wow, her company is so valuable?" Elaine Chao said with some emotion.

Chen Feng smiled and said, "She just happened to be in the right place at the right time. There was an international cosmetics company that wanted to expand in China, and her company met their acquisition requirements and strategic needs, so they bought it at a premium."

Zhao Xiaolan frowned slightly and said, "So what are your thoughts about her? She's pregnant with your child now. What if she forces you to marry her after the baby is born?"

Chen Feng said confidently, "Before we had the child, I made it clear to her that having a child was one thing, but it was impossible for me to marry her. She agreed, so she won't force me to marry her after the child is born. It wouldn't work anyway."

Upon hearing her son's words, Zhao Xiaolan felt a slight sense of relief, but also a touch of disappointment. After all, Guo Mengyao had a net worth of over a billion yuan and had been relentlessly pursuing her son. If her son were willing to marry her, it wouldn't be considered a loss for him.

But she quickly thought of Wu Mengting, whom she had always valued, her former daughter-in-law Shen Lin, and the big star Yang Ziying... She immediately felt a headache coming on. It seemed that any of them would be suitable, but choosing any of them seemed unfair to the others.

"Alright, alright, get out of here. You can deal with your own romantic entanglements yourself. I don't want to hear about it anymore, it's giving me a headache."

Zhao Xiaolan covered her forehead with her hand, somewhat annoyed, and immediately shooed her son away.

Chen Feng felt as if he had been granted a pardon. Without saying a word, he immediately turned around and left. He quickly ran to the door, opened it, and closed it in one smooth motion.

"This little bastard!"

Seeing his son slip away so quickly, Chen Dayong couldn't help but curse.

Zhao Xiaolan was displeased upon hearing this and glared at him, saying, "He's a little bastard, and what are you? An old bastard?"

Chen Dayong choked for a moment, then said awkwardly, "I'm just angry that he's been messing around outside. I thought there would only be three, but now there are two more, and there will definitely be more in the future. Sigh, suddenly having so many grandchildren, I don't know whether to be happy or angry."

"Why are you angry? Isn't it good to have many children and grandchildren? Besides, we don't have to spend money or effort to raise the children. When they all call you grandpa in the future, you old fool, you should be secretly happy."

Upon hearing this, and imagining all his grandchildren calling him "Grandpa" in the future, Chen Dayong couldn't help but grin.

……

Chen Feng finally breathed a sigh of relief after getting into his car. No matter how powerful he was, he could only obediently accept his parents' scolding, mainly because he was in the wrong, especially regarding his romantic entanglements, which he couldn't refute. He deserved to be scolded by his mother.

After calming myself down a bit, I was about to start the car when my phone beeped with a message notification.

Chen Feng picked it up casually and saw that it was sent by Xiao Panpan. He immediately thought of the scene in that local Shanghai cuisine restaurant and frowned. He then called her directly.

"Tell me the truth, have you been following me?" Chen Feng asked coldly as soon as the call connected.

Xiao Panpan was stunned for a moment, then quickly denied it: "No, how could I possibly follow you? Besides, I don't know how to follow people. You drove out, so even if I wanted to, I couldn't."

This seemed to make sense, but Chen Feng certainly wouldn't believe her so easily. He continued to ask with a cold face, "Then how did you find me? Needless to say it was just a coincidence, there aren't that many coincidences in the world."

Xiao Panpan said with a wronged look, "It really was a coincidence. As I told you, I just happened to meet my best friend for shopping today. We got tired and happened to see this local cuisine restaurant, so we went in. Who knew I would see you there?"

"Do you think I'd believe that? I suspect you had someone track my phone, otherwise this wouldn't have happened so coincidentally. This makes me very unhappy, you know?" Chen Feng didn't bother arguing with her and directly stated his suspicions.

Upon hearing Chen Feng's words, Xiao Panpan's heart skipped a beat—Chen Feng had indeed guessed correctly; she had indeed done just that, otherwise, such a coincidence would not have happened.

But Xiao Panpan was certainly not foolish enough to admit she had done it, and she vehemently denied it. (End of Chapter)
