After the divorce, I started to transfer

Although Chen Feng bought Shen Lin an apartment in Rongyuan Building last time, paying for it in full upfront, the total price was only seven million. Of course, at that time, a seven-million-dollar apartment was a huge shock to Shen Lin; she felt it was all very unreal when they bought it. Even for a long time afterward, she still had the illusion that she was dreaming when she thought about it.

However, there's no doubt that while that time was also very shocking, it wasn't as shocking as this one. This time, the house was much more expensive, costing 3000 million, several times more than the last time.

Chen Feng paid for the house in full upfront. Most importantly, the house was also registered in her name. In other words, Chen Feng bought the house as a gift for her, and it was worth a whopping 3000 million yuan.

Even though she knew something about Chen Feng's current personal assets—as Tang Yue had told her before, Chen Feng's company was worth 20 billion yuan—the 3000 million yuan might not seem like much, but that wasn't the case. That 20 billion yuan was just the market value of his company.

In her opinion, it would be quite remarkable if he had tens of millions in cash on hand, and at most a hundred million, that should be the absolute maximum.

But now Chen Feng has paid off the entire 3000 million yuan purchase price for the house in one lump sum, and it's registered in her name. Clearly, Chen Feng's financial resources far exceed her previous predictions.

She was enjoying this treatment, enjoying Chen Feng's lavish spending, which left her feeling bewildered and shocked. Her heart was filled with complex emotions that were hard to describe, and even a little sad.

The two had been together for almost seven years, from dating to marriage, but they couldn't afford to buy a house or have children, which eventually led to their divorce.

Now, Chen Feng buying a house feels to her like buying groceries—it's so easy and effortless, yet there's no possibility of them remarrying. They're no longer husband and wife.

But no matter what, the joy outweighed the sorrow. So, after the three of them got into the car, Shen Lin, who had finally come to her senses a little, said to Chen Feng, "Thank you. I really didn't expect you to be so generous to me. You actually bought it just like that. This is 3000 million. I never dreamed that you would spend so much money to buy me a house like this."

Chen Feng smiled and said, "Didn't I tell you yesterday? If you like it, just buy it."

Shen Lin said with a complicated expression, "Yesterday, I actually believed you would buy this house, but I didn't expect you to pay in full. I thought you would take out a loan and get a mortgage."

Chen Feng said casually, "I told you before, I'm not short of money now. Besides, this house is for our children's future schooling, so it's a necessity. I just bought it because I wanted to. And I also told you that you're only holding this house on behalf of our children. In the end, this house will still be left to our two children."

After a moment of silence, Shen Lin slowly said, "It really feels like a dream. If we had been this rich back then, would we have ended up living like that and even getting divorced?"

Upon hearing her words, Chen Feng was momentarily speechless. He could only silently start the car, turn on his phone's navigation, and locate the postpartum care center.

Tang Yue finally came to her senses and advised Shen Lin, "Sister, what nonsense are you talking about? What's past is past. Aren't you two doing well now? Besides, you have your own child now, and you'll still be a family in the future. By the way, don't forget what you promised me before. I'm going to be the godmother of both of your children."

Upon hearing this, Chen Feng, who was driving, frowned slightly and thought to himself: You're just Shen Lin's nanny now, but you're thinking of becoming my child's godmother. Isn't that a bit presumptuous? You don't know your place.

Shen Lin was also taken aback. She hadn't agreed to Tang Yue's request beforehand, only saying that it was up to Chen Feng to decide. Because, to be honest, the two weren't really that close, like sisters. While they were called best friends, they weren't actually that close; they were mostly colleagues.

But now that Tang Yue had asked her in front of Chen Feng, she couldn't bring herself to refuse.

Just as she was in a dilemma, Chen Feng stepped in and said, "Our child hasn't even been born yet, and you're already thinking about becoming his godmother? Besides, do you know what kind of responsibility it takes to be someone else's godmother?"

Tang Yue immediately said, "Sister Lin and I are as close as sisters now, isn't it only natural for her to be the godmother of my child?"

Chen Feng smiled and said, "Being a godmother isn't something you can just do casually. To some extent, a godmother is also a child's guardian. Especially if you live with the child for a long time and bear the costs of his food, clothing, housing, education, and medical care, then the law recognizes you as his de facto guardian."

"If you become the guardian, you must fulfill your guardianship responsibilities and protect the child's personal safety and mental and physical health. During this period, if the child is injured or becomes ill due to your negligence, you will be liable for corresponding civil compensation. In addition, you will have to buy gifts for the child, give red envelopes, and give New Year's money during holidays, etc. These are all heavy responsibilities. Have you really thought it through? Do you want to be the godmother of our two children?"

Upon hearing Chen Feng's long speech, Tang Yue immediately understood that Chen Feng didn't want her to be the child's godmother, and she felt somewhat uncomfortable.

But she was desperate to get close to this powerful figure, so she couldn't afford to offend him. She could only smile awkwardly and say, "With Sister Lin as my biological mother and you as my biological father, I don't think I have the right to be the guardian of your two children. Of course, if I become his godmother, I will definitely buy him gifts, give him red envelopes, and give him New Year's money during holidays. I can certainly do that. Also, I will always help Sister Lin take care of this child and treat him like my own son."

Seeing that she was still unwilling to give up, Chen Feng couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth and said bluntly, "If you want to be the child's godmother, the child has to grow up and have the ability to understand, and he has to agree on his own. We as parents can't make decisions for him. He hasn't even been born yet."

Chen Feng's words were rather blunt. Although they were somewhat tactful, the meaning was already very clear.

Tang Yue's face immediately froze, and she could only look at Shen Lin beside her with a wronged expression.

Shen Lin could only give her a slightly awkward smile before trying to ease the tension, saying, "Let's talk about this after the baby is born. It's really too early to talk about this now that the baby isn't even born yet."

Seeing this, Tang Yue knew that this matter couldn't be rushed, so she could only laugh and say, "Yes, yes, let's talk about this after the baby is born. I feel that I have a very special connection with this child, so I want to be his godmother."

That was the end of it, and the carriage fell silent.

When they reached an intersection and the car was stopped at a red light, Chen Feng suddenly asked, "Has your cousin transferred your commission yet?" Tang Yue was taken aback, then realized he was asking her, and immediately replied, "Not yet, not so fast. But thank you so much this time. If you hadn't bought this house, I wouldn't have received this 10 yuan commission. I was originally planning to get a 99-gram gold longevity lock for my child after the baby is born."

Shen Lin said, "Are you kidding me? A 99-gram longevity lock, is it made of pure gold?"

Tang Yue immediately and generously replied, "Of course it's pure gold. I've already checked, and the 99-gram longevity lock needs to be custom-made, but its meaning is really excellent. It represents longevity and ultimate peace and wealth, as well as health and long life. It can ward off disasters and evil spirits for children and lock in a lifetime of luck and blessings. Isn't that wonderful?"

Shen Lin said, "Gold is so expensive now. A 99-gram longevity lock would cost at least tens of thousands of yuan, including the labor cost, right? So if you get this 10 yuan, won't you have to pay tens of thousands more?"

Tang Yue waved her hand dismissively and said, "After all, I want to be the child's godmother. If I don't give a gift like this, it won't show my sincerity. It's only right that I give tens of thousands more."

She was speaking from the heart, because she genuinely wanted to curry favor with Chen Feng, so it was essential for her to show this sincerity and become the godmother of his child.

Hearing her say that, Chen Feng was somewhat moved. Although she had her own selfish motives, it seemed that she genuinely wanted to befriend them, or rather, wanted to curry favor with them.

Now that she's divorced and having relationship troubles, it's perfectly normal for her to want to get close to Shen Lin.

However, since things had already come to this point, some things still needed to be said, so he said, "I think I overheard your cousin saying that she would give you a commission of 20? Or maybe I misheard?"

Upon hearing Chen Feng's words, Tang Yue's head buzzed for a moment, feeling as if she had been caught red-handed stealing.

Shen Lin turned to look at Tang Yue, who was completely dumbfounded, with a look of astonishment.

She wasn't stupid; seeing Tang Yue's expression, she immediately understood that what Chen Feng had just said was probably true, and naturally, she felt very uncomfortable.

Tang Yue stood there stunned for a while. Finally, she could only bite the bullet and say with a bitter smile, "My cousin did promise to give me a 20 yuan bonus. The reason I told you it was only 10 yuan was because I was afraid you would think that my cousin and I were colluding to cheat you."

"But that's really not the case. I just introduced clients to her. If the client actually buys a house, it's a perfectly normal business practice for me to earn a commission. I really didn't mean to cheat you. And as you've seen, this house is really great. Most importantly, Sister Lin really likes it, and the school district is excellent."

"Of course, I was also a little wrong. I shouldn't have kept it from you. Sister Lin, I really didn't mean to cheat you. I was just worried that if I told you the truth about the 20 commission, you might misunderstand."

Shen Lin frowned slightly and remained silent, while Chen Feng restarted the car and said with a smile, "Actually, it's nothing, but you really shouldn't have kept it from us. Like you said, you earned this 20 yuan honestly and cleanly with your own abilities. If this money isn't for you, it's for someone else. Since you're our friend, of course we want you to earn it. Also, I've remembered what you just said. When our child is born and reaches one month old, you have to give him a 99-gram longevity lock."

Upon hearing this, Tang Yue immediately felt as if she had been granted a pardon and nodded repeatedly, saying, "That's for sure, I will definitely keep my word. I will go to the jewelry store to have a 99-gram pure gold longevity lock made for my child, and I will definitely discuss the style with Sister Lin first and let her decide. Otherwise, to be honest, it's a bit too much for me to handle this 20 yuan commission, and I'm actually quite uneasy about it."

Chen Feng smiled and said, "It's good that you know. Although we are friends, especially since you are helping to take care of Shen Lin, we trust you completely, and you should trust us too. Don't let similar things happen again, especially don't betray us for taking benefits from others. I'm only letting you off this time. You should understand that if there is a next time, we can never be friends with you again."

Some things need to be said openly. Especially since Shen Lin doesn't have many friends right now, Tang Yue is indeed her best friend. And for a long time to come, Tang Yue will even have to help take care of their child. Therefore, some things need to be discussed openly, and a necessary reprimand is necessary.

Upon hearing Chen Feng's words, Tang Yue breathed a sigh of relief and nodded repeatedly, saying, "Yes, of course I know that. I truly treat Sister Lin like my own sister now. I have never thought of trying to cheat her, let alone cheat you, a big shot like you. How could I have such a guts? I'm too busy trying to curry favor with you all."

Seeing that she had already said that, Chen Feng stopped pressuring her and simply said in a calm tone, "As long as you sincerely want to be friends with us, especially if you genuinely treat Shen Lin as your own sister, I assure you, I will never treat you unfairly."

Tang Yue was overjoyed upon hearing this and said happily, "I will definitely treat Sister Lin as my elder sister! We've known each other for so many years, and I've been through so many hardships before. In the end, I found that only Sister Lin has always been consistent in her treatment of me and has been the best to me. I've always been very grateful to her. Moreover, I know that only by treating Sister Lin as my own elder sister can you, as a big shot, take care of me a little in the future and let me live a good life. I understand this basic principle."

Hearing her say that, Chen Feng accepted her. Therefore, he continued to offer a helping hand, saying, "As long as you treat Shen Lin sincerely and help take care of our child in the future, I will definitely not treat you unfairly. After the child starts kindergarten, if you don't want to continue working as a nanny, I will arrange for you to join my company, or support you in starting a small business. We can discuss that later. In short, treat us as you would like to be treated. You've known us for so many years, you should know what kind of people we are."

Upon hearing Chen Feng's assurance, Tang Yue was overjoyed and repeatedly assured him, "I know, of course I know you are all very good people. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to maintain such a good relationship with Sister Lin all these years. Putting myself in her shoes, I genuinely like Sister Lin and consider her like a sister. That's why I sincerely wanted to be the godmother of your two children..."

Chen Feng interrupted directly, saying, "Don't think about becoming our child's godmother for now. As I just said, if he grows up and wants you to be his godmother, I won't refuse. But don't bring it up now. I won't let anyone casually become my child's godmother; that would be irresponsible."

What else could Tang Yue say? She could only nod repeatedly, "Okay, okay, we'll talk about it when the child grows up."

Shen Lin glanced at Tang Yue with a complicated expression. In the end, she could only say, "You shouldn't try to be clever like this anymore. Since your cousin promised you a 20 yuan bonus, you should have just told me directly, and I wouldn't have thought much of it. Your half-hearted approach made me overthink things. Fortunately, I understand that you're not the kind of person who wants to deliberately cheat me, otherwise, we sisters would really be finished."

Tang Yue could only tearfully plead, grabbing her hand and saying, "Sister, I was really wrong. Please forgive me. I promise I won't make such a stupid mistake again. I was being petty and overthinking things."

Shen Lin shook her head and didn't say anything more. (End of Chapter)
