Chapter 971 Stepping on Your Achilles’ Heel

At that time, Old Master Feng brought up this matter suddenly. In addition, Feng Liang, her biological elder brother, was going through some job-related transitions recently. Feng Cheng thus relented and agreed to Old Master Feng’s suggestion. She was also thinking that her daughter was not young anymore and it was time to pick a good man for her. The two could get engaged first and then interact with each other thereafter. When her daughter was of an appropriate age, it was not bad to get married and have children then.

After all, this was an experience in life that every woman had to face.

However, when Feng Cheng calmed down, she felt that this matter came too soon. She had been muddleheaded to agree at that point in time. It was thus not strange that Qing Qing reacted strongly to it.

Many years ago, Feng Cheng and s.h.i.+ Peng already knew each other before they dated. They had some interactions during childhood and only started dating later after they grew up and studied in the same school.

“I’ve already said my reasons. It’s not that we don’t have other ladies in the Feng family, but I don’t think it’s appropriate.” Old Master Feng was not in a good mood these few days. “I’ve also told you clearly the family background of that man. I’m the one who calls the shots in the Feng family now. I wish to pa.s.s down the authority to your elder brother. However, if another lady in the Feng family gets married to that man, I am not sure if your brother will be able to take my place after I relinquish it. If that person is not my closest next-of-kin, his heart may not be with us.”

“But…” Feng Cheng began to understand Old Master Feng’s intention. “Qing Qing is not willing to. I don’t have a choice either. Although it is for the sake of the Feng family, the prerequisite is that Qing Qing has to like him and be a willing party, right?”

“What do you know?” Old Master Feng said unhappily. “You’re already a mother. Don’t tell me you really believe that love and romance are most important? Qing Qing is young and doesn’t know this. You, as a mother, should advise Qing Qing well. If this marriage is successful, it will benefit both the Feng family and Qing Qing. Don’t you hope that your daughter will marry well? Do you want to let Qing Qing do as she wishes? Qing Qing is so pure and simple at heart. All of us know that. If Qing Qing marries a poor man in the future, you might not mind providing for your daughter, but are you willing to provide for your son-in-law and his family?”.

No matter what, he must not let his maternal granddaughter marry someone that had nothing.

Feng Cheng’s mouth moved. She nearly could not respond. “Dad, you’re exaggerating. Qing Qing is simple and pure. She is also naive. I don’t deny that. However, I know that besides liking Zhai Sheng in the past, she didn’t like anyone else.”

Her daughter did not even have someone that she liked. Did her father need to imagine Qing Qing’s future partner to be so lousy such that he did not have money and house, and that he also needed his mother-in-law to provide for him?

She did not believe that her daughter’s judgment of people would be so poor. “Dad, you’re being paranoid. I believe that this won’t happen to Qing Qing.”

With Zhai Sheng, this bright pearl, before Qing Qing, she really did not believe that her daughter would take a liking to a broken stone by the roadside in the future.

“Believe?” Old Master Feng snorted. “If you don’t believe it now, forget it. When the time comes and this matter really happens, don’t come back crying to us.”

After Old Master Feng finished his words, he walked away feeling very vexed, leaving behind his back view for Feng Cheng.

In fact, the Feng family was responsible for raising their daughter and maternal granddaughter to be so naive.

The current problem was that, when Feng Cheng and s.h.i.+ Qing used this ‘naivetés’ on the Feng family, Old Master Feng could not bring himself to feel happy.

Sitting in the study room, Old Master Feng started to reflect on whether he had done it wrongly in the past.

Compared to Qi Minlan, his own daughter Feng Cheng did not have anything worthy of mentioning

His daughter would not behave like Qi Minlan, who would run back to the maternal family to compete with her biological brother on the things in their father’s hands. Nevertheless, his daughter also did not have the capability and mind of Qi Minlan. She would not continuously pull strings for her own family.

From every single drink to every single bite, there is nothing that is not preordained. True enough, nothing is perfect in this world.

In fact, this wedding engagement was truly an opportunity for the Feng family.
