After my divorce, I started to have good luck

Chapter 1159 609: Seven or Eight Years_2

Sun Yanhong didn't immediately answer Jin Yongnian. Instead, she turned to Chen Feng and asked, "What do you think?"Chen Feng was a bit speechless as he looked at Jin Yongnian. This matter hadn't been discussed with him in advance, and now there was this sudden ambush.

Jin Yongnian returned a warm smile to Chen Feng and said, "Chen Feng, I think you should agree with this, right?"

Of course, Chen Feng knew that with just one word from him, Sun Yanhong would definitely bring Jin Yongnian into this project.

But by doing so, it would mean owing Sun Yanhong a favor.

Honestly, Chen Feng really didn't want to owe Sun Yanhong, this woman, a favor.

So, he bluntly said, "This matter doesn't concern me; it's between you two. You two can discuss it and decide."

After saying this, he ignored Jin Yongnian's wistful gaze and picked up his teacup to drink. Seeing this, Sun Yanhong smiled and said, "Then let's talk about this matter later."

Obviously, without Chen Feng's approval, Sun Yanhong didn't want to bring Jin Yongnian along, which left Jin Yongnian feeling quite helpless. His glance at Chen Feng became even more wistful; originally, a single word from Chen Feng could have settled this, but Chen Feng refused to give him that assurance.

At this moment, Shi Xiangnan's phone suddenly rang. After a glance at his phone, Shi Xiangnan apologized to everyone before stepping away to take the call.

"What's the matter? What? How did this happen?..."

It's clear something urgent was happening on Shi Xiangnan's side, judging by his anxious and somewhat panicked tone during the call.

Soon, he came back looking rather distressed, quickly bade farewell to the group, only mentioning that something urgent at the company needed his immediate attention.

In response, the others didn't particularly inquire further, as their relationships with him weren't deep enough for that.

Besides, judging by Shi Xiangnan's demeanor, it was clear that this was a big issue at his company. Actively inquiring might only invite trouble.

After Shi Xiangnan left, if Zhou Qianru wasn't there, Chen Feng would have definitely left right away. But now that Zhou Qianru was still sitting there gracefully playing with her phone, Chen Feng wasn't in a hurry to leave.

Sun Yanhong was also worried that Chen Feng might leave, so she immediately turned and gestured for Zhou Qianru, "Qianru, come over here and join us."

Zhou Qianru looked up at her, hesitated for a moment, but then got up and walked over to formally sit at the table with Chen Feng.

"Sister Zhou, where do you work?" Chen Feng asked casually.

"How about you?" Zhou Qianru raised her eyebrows slightly, looking at Chen Feng, with a rather sharp gaze.

"Haha, I guess you could say I'm a private business owner now." Chen Feng replied calmly, meeting her gaze.

"Oh, so it seems you have some money. No wonder you don't think much of this mere few billion project from Yanhong."

Zhou Qianru's words were obviously laced with sarcasm.

Previously, she had heard Sun Yanhong introduce Chen Feng but not in much detail; just that Chen Feng had about one or two hundred million in assets.

In the eyes of others, having one or two hundred million is considered very wealthy, but in her view, it's not much at all.

The people within her social circle often have assets exceeding a billion, many with tens of billions.

Like her friend Sun Yanhong, as far as she knew, her assets were at least over three billion, most of which were in real estate.

As for her own assets, cash, jewelry, and real estate combined were at least three or four billion. Her husband held assets of at least over forty billion; she was truly a wealthy lady.

So, even if Chen Feng was somewhat wealthy, he wouldn't catch her eye.

Perhaps sensing that Zhou Qianru's tone was off, Sun Yanhong quickly smoothed things over, introducing Zhou Qianru by saying, "Qianru is a university professor, and her husband has assets worth tens of billions. We grew up together, and I was the one who brought the two of them together back then."

Chen Feng was surprised to learn that Zhou Qianru was a professor; he had always guessed she worked in a government office, which was only slightly related.

As for her husband with tens of billions in assets, Chen Feng wasn't too concerned; considering Zhou Qianru's looks, demeanor, and high level of education, marrying such a wealthy husband wasn't surprising.

"Sister Zhou, how long have you been married? Do you have any children?"

The two women hadn't anticipated Chen Feng would continue asking, especially about such personal topics, considering it was their first meeting.

Zhou Qianru knew why Chen Feng was asking but still felt somewhat offended and her face turned stone-like.

By now, Sun Yanhong had discerned that Chen Feng was interested in Zhou Qianru, which made her feel uncomfortable. But sensing Chen Feng's gaze, she instinctively answered, "She married a bit late but it's been seven or eight years now, I think."

"Married for seven or eight years, huh."

Chen Feng remarked, suspecting that when Zhou Qianru met her current husband, possibly through an introduction by Sun Yanhong, she dropped Chen Feng as a temporary option.

Suspecting that might have been the case, Chen Feng couldn't help feeling somewhat resentful.

Even though years had passed, and she was now long married to someone else, Chen Feng couldn't help but remember Zhou Qianru's cold-heartedness towards him back then.

Used and then discarded without any advance notice or even a farewell text; she was out of contact and too heartless.

"Oh, seven or eight years, huh, back then I was just a university student." Chen Feng said, implying something, which Zhou Qianru certainly understood but continued with an expressionless face.

Seeing this, Chen Feng directly asked her, "Sister Zhou, since you've been married seven or eight years, do you have any children? A boy or a girl?"

Sun Yanhong immediately coughed awkwardly and said, "She and her husband are a DINK family. They don't plan to have children."

Chen Feng hadn't expected that answer and was taken aback, the anger in his heart dissipating instantly.

Given that they were married, yet chose not to have children, Chen Feng couldn't quite understand. He strongly suspected that either Zhou Qianru or her husband might be unable to have children; the DINK thing might just be a cover.

After all, her husband had assets worth tens of billions; it makes no sense to not wish for an heir.

If it were her issue, who knows, her husband might already have illegitimate children elsewhere.

Thus, Chen Feng feels a bit sympathetic towards her.

Chen Feng nodded and changed the topic, instead asking Sun Yanhong more about the skyscraper project.

Sun Yanhong didn't hold back and happily shared everything with Chen Feng, including some insider details about how the land was acquired which everyone could have guessed.

Through insider information and connections, they got the land first.

This phenomenon used to be quite common but has lessened in recent years, though it still exists, albeit more subtly than before.
