Chapter 244: Chapter 154 Money-smashing_2
"Ah Jiao, don’t talk like that," Mrs. Lin said sternly, "Ah Jun is still your ex-husband, can’t you be a little more polite?"
Lin Yujiao rolled her eyes and said, "It’s precisely because he’s my ex-husband that I’m impolite to him. We’re divorced, and everything’s been made clear. Why does he keep coming here?"
Xu Jun’s skin was thick indeed; he now smiled sheepishly and said, "Ah Jiao, I already told you, I won’t give up. Our years of affection can’t just be cut off like that. Besides, the reason we divorced wasn’t that we fell out of love, but because of my mother. Now she’s realized her mistake and has said that once we get remarried, she’ll move out immediately..."
"Enough, enough," Lin Yujiao immediately cut him off, clearly impatient, and directly ordered him to leave, "We don’t welcome you here, please leave."
"It’s not your place to decide," Mrs. Lin immediately scowled at Lin Yujiao, "I’ve already said, visitors are guests. Ah Jun has come from so far, do you know how hard that is? Can’t you just give him a chance to speak?"
Lin Yujiao looked at her mother speechlessly, not needing to guess that Xu Jun had definitely provided her some kind of benefit.
Xu Jun continued with an appeasing smile, "Ah Jiao, I mean no harm. I just came to visit and chat with Mom and Dad."
"Who are your mom and dad?" Lin Yujiao asked angrily.
Xu Jun just smiled and didn’t respond, his gaze provocatively drifting towards Chen Feng, who remained silent.
"Alright. Everyone, please come in and take a seat."
At this time, Mr. Lin appeared and called everyone in.
The group made their way to the back room.
In their home design, the back room on the first floor typically contained the kitchen and dining area; Lin Yujiao’s home was no exception.
Mr. Lin was smoking at the time, his gaze carrying a hint of scrutiny as he sized up Chen Feng who had just walked in.
"Hello, Uncle," Chen Feng greeted politely. As for Mrs. Lin, who was obviously favoring Xu Jun’s side, Chen Feng omitted her, too lazy to bother with a greeting.
"Take a seat."
Mr. Lin appeared somewhat severe, but at least he had the decency of manners.
Chen Feng nodded in agreement, casually placing two cans of olive oil and a black plastic bag against the wall. Lin Yujiao saw this, and involuntarily twitched at the corner of her eye.
Others didn’t know what was inside the black plastic bag and were quite composed; Xu Jun even felt a bit disdainful towards Chen Feng’s stinginess.
Those two big cans of olive oil were worth at most three or four hundred yuan. As for the contents of the black plastic bag, he automatically disregarded them.
But for his visit this time, he brought gifts for the elderly: smokes worth over a thousand yuan, two bottles of Moutai worth more than three thousand, two boxes of donkey-hide gelatin worth over three thousand, and two wild ginseng roots costing even more than five thousand.
Xu Jun had really gone all out with gifts worth over ten thousand yuan.
"Dad, Mom, I want to make things clear. Xu Jun and I will never get back together in this lifetime, so give up on that idea. If you keep trying to persuade me to reunite with him, don’t blame me if I cut ties with you in the future."
As soon as they sat down, Lin Yujiao said this with a stern expression.
Xu Jun, who had a smiling expression, suddenly froze, his voice trembling, "Ah Jiao... you... that’s so heartless..."
Lin Yujiao stared at him coldly, enunciating each word, "It’s over between us. Don’t you understand?"
Xu Jun’s face turned extremely unsightly, and emotions of sadness, anger, and regret instantly gnawed at him like venomous snakes.
Deep down, he didn’t hold much resentment towards Lin Yujiao, knowing very well that from beginning to end, he owed her a great deal emotionally. The main reason for their divorce was mainly his and his mother’s fault, not Lin Yujiao’s.
The only person he could hate now was Chen Feng, the interloper. If Chen Feng weren’t here and Lin Yujiao were still single, then he’d still have a chance, a very good chance.
But now, with Chen Feng as her boyfriend, Lin Yujiao had set her heart on cutting off any relationship with Xu Jun, not giving him any chance, even humiliating him with her words in front of Chen Feng.
It was all the fault of Chen Feng, this homewrecker!
Xu Jun thought about all of this, his gaze turning venomous as he stared at Chen Feng.
Chen Feng wasn’t someone to be easily frightened. He completely ignored Xu Jun’s menacing look and turned to speak openly to Mr. and Mrs. Lin, "Uncle and aunt, Yu Jiao and I are here for two reasons, to make things clear to both of you."
Mrs. Lin’s face seemed somewhat displeased, and she kept silent with a straight face.
After taking a puff of his smoke, Mr. Lin spoke in a measured tone, "Go ahead. What’s it about?"
Chen Feng got straight to the point, "The first thing is that Yu Jiao and I have brought you a filial gift of two hundred thousand; the second thing..."
"Wait a minute. What did you just say about two hundred thousand?"
Mrs. Lin immediately unsettled, hastily interrupting Chen Feng.
Lin Yujiao, looking displeased, said, "The money is a gift from Brother Feng and me to you both, consider it your retirement fund."
Chen Feng nodded in agreement, "Exactly, your retirement fund. With this two hundred thousand, you can enjoy life, go traveling, or whatever you like. No need to work so hard. Once this money is used up, we’ll continue to support you every year and take care of you in your old age."
Besides Lin Yujiao, there was another daughter in the family, an older sister who, along with her husband, was often away doing business in another province. They rarely returned even during the holidays and had basically settled down there.
Therefore, it was understandable to Chen Feng that Mr. and Mrs. Lin were somewhat greedy for money. After all, as they were getting older with no pension or sons to take care of them, naturally, their sense of security had diminished.
Now that Chen Feng had offered a gift of two hundred thousand and spoken of annual support, he had completely placated them and deeply touched their hearts.
Mrs. Lin’s expression softened immediately. She smiled at Chen Feng and changed her tune, saying directly, "Ah Feng, does this mean you’re planning to get engaged or married to our Ah Jiao?"
Chen Feng replied with a slight smile, "This is the second thing I wanted to discuss with you. For now, Ah Jiao and I are not planning to get married, so please understand and refrain from pushing Ah Jiao into blind dates or forcing her back into a relationship. Wouldn’t that be deliberately throwing her back into a pit of fire?"
"Chen Feng, what the hell do you mean by this?" Xu Jun could no longer contain himself. Standing up, he glared furiously at Chen Feng, his fists clenched tight, as if ready to throw a punch at any moment.
Chen Feng looked at him calmly, then stood up to get the black plastic bag, walked to the dining table, lifted the bottom of the bag, and poured out bundles of cash.
Everyone, including Lin Yujiao, was petrified watching Chen Feng pour out bundles of cash from the black plastic bag. Mrs. Lin, particularly fond of money, seemed to glisten in her eyes, almost wanting to rush over and hug all the money to her chest.
"Xu Jun, it’s not just that Ah Jiao has completely lost interest in you. Even if she still had feelings for you, I am confident that I am more suitable for her, that I love her more. Here’s two hundred thousand, which I give as a gift for her parents to spend. In the future, I will continue to support them, ensuring they spend their later years in comfort. Additionally, I now give Ah Jiao a monthly allowance of thirty thousand. What can you offer her and her parents?"
Chen Feng gazed at Xu Jun with a look of arrogance emanating from his bones.
Yes, this was the arrogance of the wealthy. Honestly, it felt pretty good to smash someone with money.
Of course, Chen Feng would not admit he was one of those tasteless and vulgar nouveau riche. He was now spending money for his woman, not for the hostesses at the club or to show off.
He simply wanted to use this method to make his rival, Xu Jun, admit defeat without bloodshed.
Xu Jun’s eyes blazed with anger as his fists clenched tightly. Several times his instincts wanted to go and beat up Chen Feng, but the last of his rationality repeatedly stopped him.
Everyone was an adult now; if they fought, it would mean a deadly feud.
Chen Feng was able to give away so much money and provide Lin Yujiao with thirty thousand a month, clearly, he was very wealthy. Xu Jun knew that if he offended such a man of means, he would have a tough life ahead.
So, he wisely chose to hold back, even if he was furious, he couldn’t let Chen Feng catch him out.
And so, without saying a word, Xu Jun just glared at Chen Feng for a while, then turned and walked away, soon leaving through Lin Yujiao’s front gate.
