Chapter 2484: Persistence (1)

It hadnt been easy for his grandson to have finally achieved it, and Father Chen wasnt going to let Chen Feng give up a good future for the sake of personal feelings.

As long as Chen Feng could settle down in the capital, they wouldnt even blame him even if he couldnt make it back to Ping Cheng in order to send them off.

Father Chen even said that if Chen Feng dared to agree to Qiao Zijins selfish requests, they would disown him, and he could dream on about acknowledging them as his grandparents in the future.

Father Chen was truly enraged by Qiao Zijin. She was still as selfish as ever in front of her only son.

Although she claimed that she would never harm Chen Feng, she always put herself in top priority, demanding Chen Feng to do whatever would benefit her the most.

Father Chen regretted allowing Chen Jun to marry Qiao Zijin for his grandsons sake at that time. The best solution would have been for Chen Jun to marry Qiao Nan instead.

Of course, Father Chens plan was not much better than Qiao Zijins. But because of Father Chens vicious threats and firm att.i.tude, there was no room for any discussion.

As compared to Qiao Zijin, Chen Feng naturally had much deeper feelings for Father and Mother Chen.

With his grandparents advice, adding on to the fact that his girlfriend was in the capital, it was impossible for him to return to Ping Cheng. It was an obvious choice for him.

Mom, I may be staying in the capital to establish my career. Im not returning to Ping Cheng. Also, Ive already gotten a job.

He was going to have to break the news to her eventually. Besides, Chen Fengs patience with Qiao Zijin had run dry.

If not for the fact that he wanted to settle his grandfathers funeral peacefully, Chen Feng would have told Qiao Zijin about this a long time ago. He couldnt understand how Qiao Zijin could still be so willful at her age.

Chen Feng was once again grateful that he hadnt grown up by Qiao Zijins side. Otherwise, he couldnt even be sure that he would have grown up with such proper worldviews and morals.

What? Qiao Zijin had heard the most dreaded answer from her son, and her face flushed red. No, I disagree. What will happen to me if you stay in the capital? Feng Feng, arent you going to support me?

True enough

Chen Fengs heart felt bitter as he heard Qiao Zijins words. He had simply said that he was going to establish his career in the capital. When had he ever said that he wasnt going to support his mother?

Dont worry, Mom. Ill definitely support you in your old age. I came to this decision after much deliberation. I think its better for me this way.

Chen Feng had withheld the information that he had gotten himself a girlfriend, who was not only older than him but was also Qiao Nans niece, Jiajia.

He was afraid that his mom would kick up an even greater fuss if he were to let her know of that situation.

I dont believe you. You promised me that you would return to Ping Cheng after graduating even though you were going to the capital to study. Youve been lying to me. I dont trust you anymore.

Chen Feng had gotten several marks in Qiao Zijins books.

Initially, he had agreed to choose a university close to Ping Cheng, but he had eventually gone to the capital instead.

But it benefitted Qiao Zijin that her son had been outstanding enough to get into such a prestigious school. So, she had held it in but had discussed the matter of where Chen Feng would work after graduation.

But now, Chen Feng had gone back on his word again.

This time, Qiao Zijin was no longer willing to speak nicely to Chen Feng and demanded Chen Feng to change his mind. Dont forget that your dads gone. Youre your grandparents only grandson. What will they do without you here? Have you ever thought about that?

At the mention of Father and Mother Chen, Chen Feng grew silent. It was exactly because of his grandparents orders that he wasnt returning to Ping Cheng.

Seeing Chen Fengs expression, Qiao Zijins eyes were on fire. Her son, Feng Feng, had always been an obedient child. Why had he lied to her time and again?

It must have been those two old foggies from the Chen family who were trying to tear the mother and son apart. Were they uneasy seeing how good their relations.h.i.+p was?

Qiao Zijin loved competing with others. Alright, I understand. Feng Feng, let me ask you. Whos more important to you? Your grandparents or your mother?

In other words, if Chen Feng felt that his mother was more important, he had better return to Ping Cheng and support her in her old age.

Chen Feng rubbed his forehead, not understanding where his mothers confidence had come from. The answer to this question was painfully obvious.

How could his mom compare herself to his grandparents? There were two of them and only one of her. Besides, even if they were to compare feelings, he had deeper feelings for even just one grandparent than his mother!

Chen Feng could give Qiao Zijin an answer without any hesitation.

But Chen Feng was a softhearted kid, after all. He knew that his mother was muddleheaded, and even if he were to give that answer, his mother would only feel hurt but still not understand the situation.

Sometimes, silence was the best answer.

If his answer could please Qiao Zijin, there was no need for him to face her with silence.

But Qiao Zijin had no self-awareness at all. Dont keep mum and dont think of running away from this question. Its cruel to make you make this decision, but Im your biological mother. Dont you think that your grandparents went over the line? I know you pity them, but have they ever thought of our relations.h.i.+p? Call your grandparents now and tell them that you want to return to Ping Cheng and that youll be staying with your mom.

How could he be closer to his grandparents than his own mom?

All children were closest to their mothers. Their grandparents came much later.

Since those two old foggies of the Chen family had no self-awareness and wanted to torture themselves, there was no need for her to be kind to them either. They had brought this upon themselves.

Besides, those two old foggies had never been good to her even though she still addressed them as her parents up until now. Qiao Zijin felt that there was no need to go easy on them.

Qiao Zijin had asked a very foolish question and had very little self-awareness. Chen Feng didnt know whether to laugh or cry at the incredulity of the situation. This was his mother.

Mom, I spent my childhood growing up with Grandma and Grandpa. Chen Feng reminded Qiao Zijin.

Qiao Zijin was stunned. What do you mean?

Mom, there are some things that will still be there even if we dont talk about it. When I was very young, Auntie was the one who raised me. After you got divorced from my dad, it was Grandma and Grandpa who raised me. Before Dad got into trouble, you didnt even visit me once.
