Back at the district, Feng Yu went to look for Li Na. But Li Na’s father was not happy to see him. He could tell that Feng Yu was going after his daughter.
But everyone around him sang praises about Feng Yu. Feng Yu’s father owns a factory, and his family was wealthy. Feng Yu was also a student at the prestigious Beijing University. He was good looking and have many good qualities. The more people praise Feng Yu, the more Li Na’s father dislike him. He felt that Feng Yu was not dependable.
He had heard rumors of young couples getting pregnant, and the boy asked the girl to go for abortion. These guys were mostly the second generation of government officials and businessmen.
Li Na’s father had heard that Feng Yu was very mischievous since young and was a lousy student. He had even fallen into an ice hole. He had also heard that his family had spent money to get Feng Yu into Third High School and Beijing University.
How can Li Na depend on him? His daughter was also a top student at Beijing Teaching University. She will be teaching at one of the high schools in the future. Maybe she will be working at the Education Ministry in the future. There was no need for her to depend on Feng Yu.
Li Na’s father just does not like Feng Yu!
Feng Yu also did not know how he offended Li Na’s father. He felt that his looks, height, studies were all doing well. Why does he still dislike him?
If it wasn’t for Li Na’s mother, Feng Yu might not even get to enter Li Na’s house!
The more Li Na’s father dislikes him, the more Feng Yu does not want to please him. He can wait until his status to be at a level where Li Na’s father cannot oppose him and Li Na!
When he returned home, Feng Yu was sulking. Zhang Muhua saw him and asked him what happened. When she knew that Li Na’s father looks down on Feng Yu, she was furious!
“What did you say? I will look for him now! How can he look down on my son? Who is he to look down on my son?”
“Mum, calm down. Why are you shouting? The neighbors will hear you.” Feng Yu quickly stopped his mother from going out. He regrets telling his mother what happened.
“Did you ask him why he dislikes you?”
“I also do not know the answer.” Feng Yu replied grumpily. He had asked Li Na about this, and she also does not know.
“I will go and look for Mdm Lee. She will help me find out what happened.”
“Which Mdm Lee?” Feng Yu asked.
“She is that matchmaker who had helped Zhang San’s second son find a partner. That Tian Laoliu’s daughter and Zhao Laowu’s nephew……”
“Mum, why are you so anxious?” Feng Yu was sweating. Mdm Lee was that famous matchmaker in the district.
“How can I not be anxious?”
“Mum, we are still schooling. We can talk about this in the future. Maybe Li Na’s father will change his mind when we graduate.” Feng Yu could settle this by himself. He does not want his mother to get involved. With her temper, she will make things worse.
Zhang Muhua said: “It’s a pity our district does not have the practice of engagement. If not, both of you can get engaged first.”
“Alright. Mum, don’t worry about me. I will go and look for Dongjun now. Don’t tell dad about this.”
Feng Yu left, and Zhang Muhua immediately pick up the phone: “Hello? Old Feng, I need to tell you something. That girl’s family does not like our son. Which girl? That pretty girl from the Li family. The one studying at Beijing Teaching University……”
At Wen Dongjun’s house, Feng Yu saw Wen Dongjun looking listlessly. Feng Yu thought that Wen Donngjun could cheer him up, but it seems that he was in a worse position than him. The both of them were not in the mood to do anything. So, they decided to play Chinese chess. Maybe playing chess can cheer them up.
“Sigh……”
“Stop sighing! Hurry up and make your move!” Feng Yu said in an irritated manner.
“Checkmate!”
“What checkmate? That piece is a horse and not an elephant!” Feng Yu was furious. Why can’t he play chess properly?
“I am not in the mood to play chess!” Wen Dongjun said in a foul mood.
“What’s wrong with you?” Feng Yu asked.
Wen Dongjun should not be feeling so down. His father had been promoted and had done well in his work. Feng Yu heard that Uncle Wen might be promoted again next year.
Feng Yu had also taught Wen Dongjun about shares trading and last year, he had sold off all his shares before the sudden drop in prices. This year, Wen Dongjun had bought the shares again, and the prices of the stocks were rising steadily. He will make lots of money when he sells the shares in February.
If Wen Dongjun’s family does not have any problems, then the issue should lie with him. But Dongjun’s result was still fine. He did not fail any of his subjects. What’s there to be irritated about?
“Zhang Han’s father was transferred to Beijing! He was promoted to the Vice-minister of the Public Security and Beijing City’s Chief of Police!”
Feng Yu raised his brows. This was a good thing. Zhang Han’s father was in his 50s and should be able to work for some years more. Maybe he will be promoted to be a ministry before he retires. Even if he was not promoted, he got more authority now. Why was Wen Dongjun unhappy?
“Doesn’t her family know about you? You had gone to her house last year. What’s wrong? Her father opposes both of you?”
“No. But after her father was transferred to Beijing, Zhang Han got to return home during the weekends……” Wen Dongjun said.
Wen Dongjun had already bedded Zhang Han, and he thought they would be able to spend their weekends in hotels.
But now, all his weekend plans were gone!
Damn, I still thought what had happened. This moron!
“The both of you are in the same school. Why must you wait until the weekends? Why can’t you go on weekdays?” Feng Yu asked.
“The school will check the dormitory on weekdays.” Wen Dongjun replied.
“They will be strict with the first year. Will the teachers still be so strict to the year 2 students? Furthermore, what’s wrong with spending the night outside of the dormitory? Sell off your shares before you go back. You will have enough money to buy two apartments near to your school! You can tell your teachers that your house is just outside the school. Will the teachers still forbid you to stay out of the dormitory at night? If they still disagree, just give them some gifts.”
Feng Yu looked at Wen Dongjun and wondered why his best friend was so stupid! He was not a good student in the first place. Why should he bother with the teachers checking the dormitory at night?
Wen Dongjun brightens up: “That’s right. We can go out on weekdays. Why I did not think of this earlier? Come, let’s play chess!”
Feng Yu: “……”
“Carry on with the game. Why are you not making your move? Is it my turn? Checkmate!”
“Check your head! I do not want to play anymore!” Feng Yu was furious!
Damn, now your mood is better, and shouldn’t you be asking about me?
“Eh? You also seem to be a bad mood.”
Feng Yu felt better. This moron finally noticed that he was in a bad mood.
“Your mood will be better if you play some chess. You are the one who said this. Hurry up and continue! Checkmate! It’s your turn.”
Feng Yu: “……”
