After the divorce, I started to transfer

Alicia was quite pleased with her brother's helpful assistance. However, on the surface, she feigned regret and said, "It seems I'll be going alone then. John, you'd better take me to have a good time in Beverly Hills."

Hearing her say that, Chen Feng felt a little helpless. He had originally wanted to bring her two brothers along as third wheels, but Ian was so clever, and seemed to be happy about it, so he entrusted his sister to him so readily.

Then there's Carl and his wife Lillian. This couple—or rather, their former couple—actually trust and feel so much for him, seemingly not minding at all that their daughter is meeting Chen Feng alone.

Carl even said with a smile, "John, since Alicia wants to come visit you, then please make sure she has a good time."

Lillian smiled and agreed, "Then I'll have to trouble you, John. Alicia is usually very well-behaved, but she can be quite mischievous sometimes, so I'll have to trouble you."

Since the parents had said so, how could Chen Feng refuse? He could only smile and nod, saying, "Okay, it's alright. I will definitely take good care of her and try my best to make sure she has a lot of fun."

When Alicia saw that Chen Feng had agreed, her eyes sparkled even brighter as she looked at him. She said with great anticipation and excitement, "John, you absolutely have to show me around! And it would be best if you could introduce me to some Hollywood stars."

Chen Feng immediately shook his head and said, "I don't know many Hollywood stars. If you want me to introduce you to Hollywood stars, you've got the wrong idea."

Upon hearing this, Alicia quickly replied, "That's alright. Just take me around and have some fun. If we run into any Hollywood stars, take me up to say hello and maybe get an autograph. Of course, it has to be one of my favorite stars; I don't care for just any star."

What could Chen Feng say? He could only nod in agreement.

Next, Carl changed the subject, chatting with Chen Feng about the local customs and traditions, as well as the farm's harvest. He then mentioned that his family planned a summer trip to China.

Without a doubt, if his plan goes ahead, his whole family will definitely go to Xiuzhou. As the host there, Chen Feng will certainly have to treat them well.

Chen Feng wasn't too opposed to this, since Karl always treated him well whenever he came here, not to mention that Chen Feng would often trouble him, or rather, Zhang Zhiqiang, whenever he needed something.

He was just a little curious as to why Karl would think of taking his whole family on a trip to the Dragon Kingdom, since the last time they met, it was only Alicia who mentioned going on a trip.

So he asked directly, "Karl, what made you decide to send the whole family? Aren't you always busy?"

Carl explained with a smile, “I didn’t want to go originally. As you said, I’m recovering from a serious illness and I have a lot to do and a lot of work to do. I need to make up for the time I wasted in the past two or three years. However, after this illness, I also realized that work can never be finished and money can never be earned, but a person’s time and life are limited. In my opinion, family is the most important thing.”

"So, after surviving this ordeal and being saved by you, I cherish the time I spend with my family even more. After discussing it repeatedly, our family decided to take advantage of this summer vacation to have a good time in China. Of course, we'll go to Xiuzhou, where you are. We also want to visit the capital, Shanghai, and other major cities."

Carl looked at Chen Feng and continued, "If you're free then, you can come with us for the tour. If you're not free, we don't mind; we'll find a guide ourselves."

Chen Feng immediately said, "If you come to Xiuzhou, I will definitely treat you well. I will personally accompany you and act as your tour guide. As for visiting other cities, I may not have the time. We'll have to see when the time comes."

Carl nodded and said, "Okay, there's no rush. Summer vacation is still a long way off."

The two chatted and laughed, with Alicia occasionally chiming in to ask Chen Feng some personal questions. For example, did he have a girlfriend? How many girlfriends had he had? And did he have another girlfriend in Los Angeles?

Although Chen Feng was a little embarrassed by her question, he still told the truth, saying that he did have a girlfriend in China and also in Los Angeles.

Alicia seemed to have anticipated this, showing no surprise whatsoever, or rather, she already knew. Instead, she became even more curious, asking Chen Feng about the characteristics of his girlfriends and even demanding that he show her their photos.

Chen Feng was really having a headache with this little girl. The main problem was that her parents, Carl and Lillian, were all smiles on the sidelines, showing no sign of trying to stop her.

What could Chen Feng do? At Alicia's insistence, he could only take out his phone, open his photo album, find photos of Wu Mengting, Molly, and Brinna, and show them to her.

Actually, he didn't have many photos of them on his phone. But since they had traveled together before, his phone mostly contained solo photos of them, with very few photos of them together, and he was too lazy to look for them.

After seeing the photos, Alicia had to admit that the women were indeed very beautiful, and her confidence was somewhat shaken. However, she was clearly prepared for this, and she maintained excellent composure and politeness.

After returning the phone to Chen Feng, she said with a smile, "John, your taste is really good; they're all stunning beauties. I'm really curious, how did you manage to handle them? I think they all know about each other, right? Did they ever fight amongst themselves? How did you get them to obey you?"

What a curious little thing. Chen Feng could only say, "I don't need to deal with them. To be honest, I'm always the one being passive, while they're the ones taking the initiative."

Alicia was stunned upon hearing this. Carl, on the other hand, burst into laughter: "John, you're setting a bad example for the children. Alright, let's go to the study and have a private talk."

After saying that, Karl stood up, finally getting Chen Feng out of the predicament. Chen Feng quickly stood up as well and followed Karl to the study.

As soon as the two left, Ian, the older brother, suddenly said to Alicia with a serious expression, "Alicia, you'd better think this through. John is a very womanizer. If you're interested in him, you'd better be prepared to break up with him in the future, because he will never marry you. You can only be his mistress, not even his girlfriend."

Alicia hadn't expected her brother to be so direct, and her face flushed slightly. However, she wasn't the shy, introverted type; after all, she'd always been quite bold.

She quickly smiled and said, "I know, of course I know. He's so handsome, so rich, and has special abilities that ordinary people don't have. How could he not have a girlfriend or lover? I knew it all along."

I'm only interested in him right now; I haven't really decided to pursue him yet. If I do decide to, I hope you all will support me. Mommy, you won't object, right? And Daddy, I sense it; he seems to tacitly approve of me pursuing John. I don't know the specific reason, but I feel it."

Bart, the simple-minded older brother, finally realized what was happening. He looked at his sister with a shocked expression and exclaimed, "Alicia, are you kidding me? You really have feelings for John? How is that possible? He's so much older than you, and he already has a girlfriend! He just said he has lovers, maybe more than one or two. You're going to chase after a man like that? That's ridiculous! I object!"

Alicia rolled her eyes at her goofy older brother and replied, "Bart, your objection is invalid." Then she looked at her mother, went up to her, took her hand, and said sweetly, "Mommy, you don't object, right?"

Lillian sighed, gently patting her daughter's arm as she said softly, "Darling, deep down I'm against it. After all, as Bart said, he's much older than you, and he's a womanizer. As Ian said, even if you two get together, he might not marry you."

You're still young and don't understand the importance of family or marriage. If he's destined not to marry you, you may be destined to never find happiness. But you're almost an adult, and I can't control you forever. Like your father said, you have the freedom to choose your partner.

"Especially since you are still young, you should go out and experience dating, love, and hate. These are all experiences you should go through. But when you get older, for example, in your twenties, or at the latest, your thirties, you will have to start thinking about your life's major event."

Lillian continued earnestly, "Whether you like it or not, you should find someone who loves you, or a reliable man who is a good match for our family, to marry and have children with. Otherwise, your life will not be complete."

After hearing her mother's words, Alicia immediately nodded and said, "Mommy, you're right. I'm still young, and I should have a passionate love affair, to love and hate, otherwise I'll feel like I'm too low-class."

As you know, many of my peers have already had several boyfriends, while I'm still a virgin, and many of them laugh at me. But I know I can't let their laughter lead me to mess around with boys I don't like, which is what you taught me back then.

But I've found myself developing feelings for John, and it's something I can't control. So, I'm going to take this opportunity to give it a try. I'm not asking to be his girlfriend, or even his lover. I just want something to happen between us, it's that simple..."

"Alright, you two talk, I'm leaving." Ian, the older brother, suddenly interrupted his younger sister loudly, because he felt it would be awkward to continue listening. His sister's words made him want to escape immediately.

Even Bart, who was a bit slow on the uptake, looked embarrassed and helpless when he heard his sister's words.

Bart continued, “Alright, my dear sister, you have the freedom to fall in love. Since Mother doesn’t object, I certainly won’t either. But you really need to think it over carefully. John is a good person; he saved Father and Ian, but you don’t need to ruin yourself out of gratitude.”

Alicia rolled her eyes again as she listened to her silly older brother's words, and said rudely, "Alright, Bart, mind your own business. You should go too, Mom and I need to talk about some women's topics."

Bart shrugged helplessly, then shook his head and said, "Fine, I'm leaving. Take care of yourself."

After the two brothers left, Alicia asked shyly, "Mommy, can you teach me some ways to seduce men?"

Lillian: "..."

In the study, Chen Feng declined the cigar Karl offered him. Karl didn't insist, put the cigar box away again, and then the two sat down facing each other across the desk.

Carl laughed and said, "I used to really enjoy smoking Cuban cigars, but after going through a life-or-death ordeal, I'm more mindful of my life now, so I don't smoke cigars anymore."

Chen Feng nodded and said, "It's good not to smoke. Cigars, like tobacco, only have disadvantages and no advantages."

Carl nodded and said, "Yes, cigars also contain carcinogens such as nicotine, tar, and carbon monoxide. Smoking too much is definitely bad for the lungs and will also harm other organs in the body. There is absolutely no benefit to it."

Chen Feng waved his hand and said, "Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. You said you had something to discuss with me, so let's talk about it now."

Carl chuckled, “You’re still the same, a bit impatient. Since you want to know quickly, I’ll tell you. The first thing is the feedback after you treated Theodore Mergen’s grandson’s intellectual disability.”

Chen Feng immediately became interested and asked, "Has his intelligence improved after my treatment?"

Carl smiled and nodded, saying, "It has indeed improved, and the effect seems quite good. Originally, that child's intelligence was only that of a three-year-old, and he could barely speak properly and was very immature. But after your treatment, and after this period of continuous training and teaching, he was tested by experts a couple of days ago, and his intelligence level has reached that of a normal six- or seven-year-old child."

His speech was noticeably better, and his articulation was much clearer. Therefore, Mr. Mergen was very satisfied with the results of the last treatment, and also with you. And old man Williams, he also gained a great favor from Mr. Mergen.”

Chen Feng was pleased to receive this news. After all, restoring the intelligence of a mentally challenged child to normal was an act of immense merit. In his view, it was even more meritorious than curing cancer patients.

"So, as long as this person continues to learn or train, their intelligence will increase and eventually return to the level of a normal adult? After all, this person is already thirty years old."

Carl shook his head and said, "I'm not sure about that. That's all the information I have. However, it's already a miracle that his intelligence has improved so rapidly after your treatment, which hasn't been long. Moreover, I think your guess was correct. If he continues to receive training from those experts, his intelligence should continue to grow and eventually return to the level expected for his age. That would be equivalent to saving his life and giving the Morgan family a great gift. They will definitely remember your kindness."

Chen Feng smiled and said, "As for personal relationships, you know I don't really care. After all, I did take money from them, and quite a lot of it."

Carl shook his head and said, "Money is nothing to a family like theirs. Two hundred million dollars can restore their mentally challenged child to a normal level, prevent their family from being ridiculed, restore their family's honor, and even add another member, an heir to their family. These are the things that are very important to old families like theirs."

"If Andrew Mergen, whom you treated, fully recovers his intelligence in the future, and even one day becomes capable of standing on his own and making his own contributions to his family, then you will always be a guest of honor, or even a benefactor, to his entire family. And you should know the power and influence of the Mergen family in America, and even globally."

Carl sighed, “You could say that just this one thing alone has made you a firm foothold in the upper echelons of American society. Before, even with my help and the help of old Williams, to be honest, many people didn’t take you seriously, and some even had bad ideas about you because of it. For example, that Deputy Attorney General Lawrence.”

When Chen Feng heard him suddenly mention Lawrence, he was slightly taken aback, then realized what he meant and asked with a smile, "Why did you suddenly bring up this Mr. Lawrence?"

Carl sighed and said, “John, I apologize. I only just found out that that son of a bitch Lawrence betrayed you. He leaked all your information to someone else, Moore, the one who gave you the villa. I was furious when I heard this yesterday, and I called him and gave him a piece of my mind. But he kept denying it, saying he didn't. But how could I believe him? So, I'm really sorry, I didn't know he could be such an ungrateful person.”

"You saved his son, cured his depression, and this is how he treats you. I've used all my resources to get him out of his current position. At the very least, he won't be in this position after this term. He'll be out by the end of January at the latest, and he won't have an easy time afterward. The next president will absolutely not appoint such a scoundrel; his political career is over. I've discussed this with Williams, and he supports my decision. He's also very angry and has expressed his willingness to help." (End of Chapter)
