Jiang Xiaoyan looked at Duoduo for a long time before finally speaking: "No matter what, you should act like a girl. You're almost ten years old, and you're always acting crazy and hanging out with a bunch of boys."
Lu Feng glanced at Duo Duo, who was fidgeting while playing the piano, squirming around like a maggot. He took a puff of his cigarette and muttered, "So what if she's a comedian? With our family's conditions, she's not short of a boyfriend."
"I'll have her learn to swim, play the piano, and learn etiquette. I heard from a CEO recently that children can be sent abroad for high school," Jiang Xiaoyan planned.
“We can’t send her out for high school, we can talk about college later. Planning is useless. Children and grandchildren have their own destinies. If she’s a dragon, she’ll soar to the heavens even after going through countless hardships. If she’s a worm, you can’t lift her to the ninth heaven. To be honest, I’m quite satisfied with her as long as she doesn’t go to jail for fraud.” Lu Feng said to Jiang Xiaoyan.
"What are you saying? This child isn't a bad person by nature. She's grown up this year and has stopped doing small business. Her teachers all praise her for being sensible." Jiang Xiaoyan rolled her eyes at Lu Feng and said, "Let's not talk about the child. You don't care about her. Just do your own thing. You should get married soon. People can't wait any longer."
“Listen to this, listen to this, what kind of talk is this? The company is in a special period right now, and I don’t want to think about these things for the time being. If the company’s affairs are not handled well, it will be like going back to the past. The current equity structure of the company is not in my favor, and with the international disputes starting again, Jiafeng is the most prominent target.”
Lu Feng also had a lot of bitterness in his heart, and took this opportunity to talk to her about the serious implications. From the perspective of the international situation, the United States and its allies are suppressing China, and the global technological blockade against China will only become more and more severe. Jia Feng was able to get to where he is today in such an environment entirely by making concessions and bringing in the wolves of Europe to deal with the two tigers, the United States and Japan.
Whoever comes, they all want a piece of this pie. Jiafeng has already developed certain capabilities. Whether he can snatch it from the tiger's mouth depends on the next two years.
Lu Feng, smoking a cigarette, his face full of gloom, leaned back on the sofa and said in a low voice, "It won't be long before the seas are full of aircraft carriers, and their cannons will be pointed at us again. War is so close to us. The battlefield is not just about artillery fire, but also about technology and finance. If you follow the news, you can feel that it is already nightfall."
Jiang Xiaoyan sat there without speaking, her expression somewhat somber. As she cleared the dishes in front of her, she said, "I don't care about these things. I'm just an ordinary citizen. A few years ago, you said you wanted to make money, then you said you wanted to open a factory, then you wanted to build a big company, and now you want to focus on the international market. I think I should just make some money and live my own life. I don't understand anything else, and I don't want to understand anything else."
Lu Feng opened his mouth when he heard her words, but said nothing. The two of them had different pursuits from the beginning. Perhaps her idea of a small family made Lu Feng feel at ease. Here, there was only this family, and nothing else that was unrelated to family.
"Alright, stop playing. Go watch some cartoons and do your homework." Jiang Xiaoyan stood up and started clearing the dishes, talking about family matters. Her second brother had called her again, hoping she could come home this year.
It was nothing more than mundane family matters. Under the lamplight, Duoduo sat two meters away from the TV watching cartoons. Jiang Xiaoyan complained about life. As she passed by with her bowl and chopsticks, she kicked Duoduo, telling her to sit on the sofa to watch so she wouldn't go blind.
There aren't many international events or grand plans here, just the mundane details of family life. Lu Feng slumped on the sofa, seemingly completely relaxed, a feeling that no one else could give him.
When he was with Su Yourong, all he could think about was money and scheming. But when he was with Zhang Fengxia, he felt more like he was in love and acted like a child.
It was already past nine o'clock at night. Duoduo had to get up early the next day. She yawned as she entered her room. Jiang Xiaoyan closed the folder in her hand, glanced at Lu Feng, and said, "You can go back now."
"I have nowhere to go!"
"Why don't you have anywhere to go? There are villas and luxury apartments everywhere."
Lu Feng stared intently at her without saying a word.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Jiang Xiaoyan threw the rag in her hand on the coffee table, sat down and said, "Thinking about that again? The child is already so old, this can't go on like this, besides..."
"Did you ever learn a text when you were a child?" Lu Feng interrupted her and asked, "The reading material was about a rich man who got drunk late at night and lay on the lawn. When the security guard found him, he asked him why he didn't go home. The rich man said he didn't have a home. The security guard pointed to the biggest and most luxurious villa and said that was his home. The rich man said that was just his house, not his home."
After listening, Jiang Xiaoyan looked at him and said, "I haven't learned it."
“I didn’t understand back then, but now I think I do, so I don’t want to leave.” Lu Feng stood up and looked at Jiang Xiaoyan, saying, “Go to sleep early.”
"Don't touch me. I'll sleep with Duoduo. You go to sleep by yourself." Jiang Xiaoyan took Lu Feng's hand off and looked at him irritably, saying, "Is that all you're thinking about?"
"No, I was just sleeping soundly. I just felt lonely and empty inside," Lu Feng said, looking at her with exceptional sincerity.
"Go sleep in that room. The child is too old, it'll be embarrassing if he makes noise. Okay, stop telling stories, go to sleep." Jiang Xiaoyan said, pushing Lu Feng into Duo Duo's room, and said to Duo Duo, "Come and sleep with Mom."
Duoduo, wrapped in a blanket, lay on the bed, raised her head, and looked at the two of them with her big, dark eyes, asking, "Aren't you two done with it anymore?"
