"Uncle Zhao?"
Chen Feng greeted her, "Didn't you say you went out of town on business, little rich lady? When are you coming back?"
"In response to Mr. Edison Chen, I rushed back to the ancient city last night."
"You've been away on business for so long, it must be something important, right?"
"Forehead……"
Uncle Zhao subconsciously looked at Li Wanwan.
Seeing Li Wanwan gently shake her head at him, Uncle Zhao suddenly realized that Young Master Guanxi had no idea what he was doing.
"It's not a big deal, it's just a bit tedious and complicated, and it will take a long time."
As Uncle Zhao spoke, he pondered what excuse to use to deal with Chen Feng's probing questions.
no way.
Li Wanwan had already hinted to him that "that matter" should be kept secret from Chen Feng for the time being.
However, as it turned out, Uncle Zhao was overthinking it.
Chen Feng asked casually out of politeness and had no intention of delving deeper.
"Is Uncle Zhao going back to Shanghai with the young rich woman?"
"Yes."
Uncle Zhao nodded. "I was supposed to be the one to take Miss to the airport, but she wants to spend a little more time with Mr. Edison, so I'm sorry to trouble you to make this extra trip."
Chen Feng glanced at Uncle Zhao, who looked apologetic, and then at Li Wanwan, who had a sullen little face. He couldn't help but smile wryly.
Although the young rich woman didn't say it outright, she probably wished she could work hard to accompany her to Shanghai.
"It's not hard work at all, I'm pretty free today anyway."
There was one more thing Chen Feng didn't say.
His real intention in sending the young heiress to the airport was to seriously consider the possibility of buying a plane ticket to Shanghai after discovering that Li Wanwan was at risk of being bullied by her wicked stepmother upon her return to Shanghai.
"Let's not stand outside, let's go inside."
Chen Feng pointed to the entrance of the departure level and said.
"OK."
Uncle Zhao carried the suitcase, and Li Wanwan followed closely beside Chen Feng as the three of them entered the airport gate.
While Li Wanwan was checking in, Chen Feng pulled Uncle Zhao aside and whispered, "Is this little rich girl really only coming back to Shanghai to celebrate her grandmother's birthday?"
"It's not entirely about celebrating a birthday."
Uncle Zhao shook his head. "Old Madam Li is quite old and her health has never been very good. Miss Li wanted to arrange for the eldest young lady to see the old lady more often, which is why she insisted on sending the eldest young lady back..."
The "aunt" that Uncle Zhao mentioned refers to Li Wanwan's father's sister, who is the aunt Li Wanwan is referring to.
"Is the young rich woman on good terms with the old lady of the Li family?"
Chen Feng continued to ask.
"hehe."
Uncle Zhao chuckled awkwardly, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.
Chen Feng immediately cursed himself for asking such a redundant question.
If the old lady of the Li family regarded the young rich girl as her precious darling, even if the young rich girl's biological mother passed away, she would not have ended up being manipulated by her vicious stepmother.
Chen Feng just couldn't understand it.
How could such a beautiful, sensible, and adorable young lady end up being someone her father doesn't love and her grandmother doesn't care about in the Li family?
Seemingly noticing Chen Feng's confusion, Uncle Zhao explained, "The old lady's thinking is somewhat feudal, and her preference for sons over daughters is deeply ingrained."
"So that's how it is..."
Chen Feng glanced at Uncle Zhao, his mouth moved as if he wanted to say something, but he stopped himself.
“Young Master Edison, there’s no need to worry. Back in the year Miss finished her college entrance exams, you took your wife and son overseas to set up businesses. They were too busy with official duties to get away.”
Uncle Zhao said calmly, "Miss will probably not see anyone she doesn't want to see when she returns to Shanghai this time."
"That's good."
Chen Feng breathed a sigh of relief.
"Actually, Mr. Edison Chen doesn't need to worry."
Uncle Zhao continued, "Miss Aunt has always doted on Eldest Miss. If Eldest Miss is wronged, Miss Aunt will not stand idly by."
"hehe."
Chen Feng sneered, his face showing disdain.
The aunt has always doted on the eldest young lady.
If the two were close, why had the young rich woman never mentioned her aunt to him?
If the young lady suffers any injustice, the aunt will not stand idly by.
What a joke!
The rich girl's childhood was even more tragic than that of an orphan like herself. Where was her aunt at that time?
"Mr. Edison, I'm not joking."
"Yes, I know."
"Since you know this, why are you still laughing?"
"I just feel that relying on others is not a long-term solution, as mountains may crumble and rivers may flow away."
Uncle Zhao was stunned for a moment, "It's a blessing that my young lady was born in her past life to be able to meet Mr. Edison Chen."
"Uncle Zhao, you've got it backwards."
Chen Feng's expression was serious, and his tone was earnest: "It is because I have used up all the good luck of two lifetimes that I was able to meet this rich woman in this life."
"That's why I need to work even harder."
"I hope that I can accompany the young heiress on her next trip back to Shanghai."
Uncle Zhao quickly said, "Young Master Edison wants to go to Shanghai, so this time is fine."
"Uncle Zhao."
"Um?"
"Do you think I went to Shanghai just to be with that rich young woman?"
Chen Feng narrowed his eyes, a ruthless glint in his gaze.
Uncle Zhao was taken aback for a moment, then smiled broadly, feeling as sweet as honey.
One of them secretly plots and schemes to avenge her beloved;
One strives diligently, solely to protect his confidante.
Is this what love is like for young people today?
It's so sweet!
"Uncle Zhao, what did Chen Feng talk to you about?"
Just then, Li Wanwan, who had finished checking in, came over and said, "You seem to be very happy."
Chen Feng raised his hand and ruffled Li Wanwan's hair. "We were talking about how you're a fairy who accidentally wandered into the mortal world, and how you're so lovable."
Upon hearing this, Li Wanwan's eyes curved into two crescent moons, just like a happy little kitten.
However, the next second, Li Wanwan's smile froze on her face.
"Chen Feng, it's almost time, I need to board the plane."
"Go ahead, be careful on the road, and let me know when you're ready to come back, then I'll come pick you up."
"good."
Accompanied by Uncle Zhao, Li Wanwan, with tears in her eyes, walked into the check-in channel, turning back every few steps.
Chen Feng, on the other hand, smiled, a self-deprecating smile playing on his lips.
I even had the idea of accompanying the rich young woman back to Shanghai. But even if I went, what good would it do?
Douyin has indeed developed very quickly, and Chen Feng has accumulated considerable wealth in the stock market, but he is still too "weak" now.
So weak that even when the wicked stepmother bullied the rich girl in front of Chen Feng, Chen Feng was powerless to do anything about it.
After all, Li Wanwan's father was one of the shareholders of Buynow.
And the Li family has countless other projects of the scale of Buynow.
Chen Feng knew that once he broke ties with his wicked stepmother, the "old man" of the Li family would definitely stand firmly on his wife's side.
If that "elder" of the Li family had given the young rich woman even the slightest bit of favoritism and care, she wouldn't have developed such a socially awkward and almost withdrawn personality.
