After my divorce, I started to have good luck-Chapter 1004 - 533: Not Becoming In-Laws (Part 2)

"Why did you come down? Didn’t you say you wouldn’t?" Hong Qilei frowned at his daughter.

But Hong Xiaodan ignored her father’s question, instead, she blushed, feeling a bit awkward and nervous, and took the initiative to greet the parents on Chen Feng’s side: "Hello, Uncle, Auntie."

At this moment, Zhao Xiaolan carefully observed Hong Xiaodan. To be honest, she looked quite good, and more importantly, her family’s economic condition was excellent, with inheritance of at least billions.

However, she wasn’t a person who admired luxury or would sell her son, especially when her son was not lacking money now.

"Hello to you too."

Chen Xiaoxia was the first to smile and nod, responding to Hong Xiaodan.

Zhao Xiaolan also slightly relaxed her expression at this time, nodding slightly to show agreement.

Hong Xiaodan finally relaxed, smiled and said: "I heard what Auntie said just now. You mentioned that both families should raise the child together, and I agree. This child is my and Chen Feng’s flesh and blood; it’s not good for them to lack either a mother’s or a father’s company."

Hong Qilei widened his eyes and said, "What are you babbling about? This guy never planned to marry you, so what’s this about raising together? We can raise them ourselves."

Hong Xiaodan glanced coldly at her father, instantly making him swallow back his words.

Though Hong Qilei was domineering outside, in front of his daughter, he was clearly not so aggressive; in fact, he was a doting father. As long as it wasn’t a matter of principle, he mostly had to bow down or satisfy her when she was upset.

"Little Dan, what you said is right. A child needs both a father and mother’s company for their development. Lacking one is harmful to a child’s healthy growth."

Zhao Xiaolan quickly picked up Hong Xiaodan’s words and nodded in agreement.

Seeing Chen Feng’s mother agree, Hong Xiaodan’s smile became even more radiant, and immediately flatteringly said: "Auntie, you’re very right, more insightful than my dad. So I think Chen Feng and I both raising this child is best. Even if Chen Feng and I can’t become husband and wife, for the child’s sake, we can still be friends. Chen Feng, don’t you think?"

Hong Xiaodan looked intensely at Chen Feng.

Chen Feng really didn’t want to answer her question, but in front of so many elders, especially his mom and aunt, he could only nod and say, "Of course, we were already friends."

On hearing Chen Feng’s response, Hong Xiaodan, who had been somewhat tense, immediately relaxed completely, her smile also became more genuine: "It’s enough to hear that from you. I am truly sorry for what happened this time, it was my fault. Thank you for still considering me as a friend."

Certainly, Chen Feng had some grievances against her, especially the incident where she embarrassed him, which caused a psychological wound that was hard to heal quickly.

But now, to account to his elders and for the child in her belly, what else could he do but choose to magnanimously forgive her.

Chen Feng planned to let things go peacefully. At least at this moment, he had to do it on the surface, so as not to let the three parties lose face.

"In that case, we can sit down again, have a more detailed discussion, don’t you think, President Hong?"

Chen Xiaoxia stepped in as a peacemaker again.

Hong Qilei looked at his daughter, then his wife, and ultimately sighed, nodding: "Alright, we’ll sit down and discuss things properly."

Hong Xiaodan of course stayed behind and began to fully participate in the topic of jointly raising the child.

First off, Hong Qilei expressed that after the child is born, they should have Hong as their surname. Zhao Xiaolan hesitated only slightly before agreeing. Although she didn’t have a grandchild yet, the child in Hong Xiaodan’s belly not necessarily would be a grandson and could be a granddaughter, so it didn’t matter whose surname they took.

Moreover, her son had no intention of marrying the other’s daughter, so naturally, there was no reason for the child to take Chen Feng’s surname. Additionally, considering their Hong family’s lack of heirs, if it were a grandson, he would inherit the vast Hong family business and the Chen family wouldn’t really lose out.

Chen Feng and Chen Dayong didn’t oppose this point either. Chen Dayong’s thoughts were similar to Zhao Xiaolan’s, whereas Chen Feng didn’t care since he never planned to actually raise the child, at most just visit occasionally.

But now, seeing Hong Xiaodan’s attitude, she truly wants to actually raise the child together with Chen Feng, which secretly made him a bit anxious, yet unable to show it, mainly because his elders were also eager to raise this unborn child together.

On getting the surname settled, the Hong family’s attitude visibly improved.

Then, Hong Qilei also requested that before the child starts school, they should live with the Hong family while Chen Feng and the Chen family could visit occasionally.

This point was exactly what Chen Feng wanted and he immediately expressed approval. But his approval was useless as Zhao Xiaolan opposed it, stating that since both families are raising the child together, they should live with the Chen family too, not too much time, just during winter and summer vacations.

Hong Qilei certainly disagreed, after a round of haggling, they finally agreed that until the child turns three, they would live with the Hong family, and after three, during summer vacations, Hong Xiaodan would take the child to live with Chen’s family for a period.

This made Chen Feng quite speechless; taking the child over was one thing, but Hong Xiaodan would also go, what’s that about? But his mother agreed implicitly.

After settling these two matters, other issues largely weren’t problems anymore, some minor issues were quickly resolved as well.

Both sides’ attitudes and tones also softened, even if they didn’t become in-laws, they didn’t end up foes either.

Regarding this outcome, both sides were fairly satisfied.

It’s just that Chen Feng felt a bit sullen inside, but couldn’t express it. You couldn’t just deny the child, right? Even if he did, his mom certainly wouldn’t.

Looking at Hong Xiaodan’s radiant smile, Chen Feng even suspected all of this was her plot, carefully planned by her.

After the matters were settled, Hong Qilei immediately displayed his carefree side, calling the best hotel nearby to book a spot, inviting them to dinner and drinks.

Uncle Fang Ruiming was the first to readily agree with a smile, Chen Dayong and Zhao Xiaolan followed suit, feeling it wouldn’t be polite not to agree.

But Chen Feng said he had issues in Xiu Zhou that he needed to rush back to, trying to decline.

But was met with a glare from Hong Qilei: "Don’t try to slip away, young man. Because of your and my daughter’s matter, our two families nearly became enemies, and you, as the person previously involved, can’t be absent. Later, you must drink three bottles of Moutai; otherwise, once my grandson is born, I’ll have him call you a bastard every day."
