The Road to Becoming a Son-in-Law

Chapter 246 Proposal

Chapter 246 Proposal

Not to mention that Crescent Moon Pavilion now has a branch, the assets of that branch alone exceed those of the clothing store that I've been running for decades. Moreover, Chen Feng must be quite remarkable to have developed Crescent Moon Pavilion to this extent in such a short time.

As long as he can get involved with Chen Feng, he can just wait to enjoy the good life for the rest of his days. Why can't his daughter understand this?

Mr. Li explained the whole story to Li Jiaojiao, saying, "Daughter, you must get your hands on that Chen Feng. That way, even the wives of officials might have to fawn over you in the future."

Li Jiaojiao was also swayed by what her father said and asked, "Is what Father said true?"

“Of course it’s true,” Mr. Li said. “When have you ever seen your father lie to you?”

In the end, Li Jiaojiao forgot about the embarrassment she had suffered today because of her father's words, and planned to go to Xinyue Tower again tomorrow.

She confidently thought that if she visited him a few more times, Chen Feng would be moved by her, and then she would make him pay for his previous disrespect.

The next day at daybreak, Li Jiaojiao went to Xinyue Tower again, but she was stopped by two waiters at the entrance.

Li Jiaojiao looked at the waiters unhappily, "Why are you stopping me?"

"Are you Miss Li Jiaojiao?"

Li Jiaojiao wanted to force her way in, but the two waiters were both young and strong men, while Li Jiaojiao was just a weak woman. Moreover, it was already late, and there were already many people outside the New Moon Pavilion, including some of Li Jiaojiao's acquaintances. Under the strange looks of those people, Li Jiaojiao could no longer stay. She glared at the waiters and left.

"Jiaojiao, why are you back again?" When Li Jiaojiao returned, her father had just finished breakfast and was flirting with one of his concubines. Li Jiaojiao caught them in the act, causing an awkward moment.

Seeing Li Jiaojiao's unpleasant expression, the concubine quickly gathered her clothes and left the dining room.

Mr. Li coughed lightly and asked Li Jiaojiao, "Jiaojiao, didn't you go to Xinyue Tower to find Chen Feng? Why are you back so early?"

After Li Jiaojiao sat down, she remembered how the waiter had stopped her from going in, saying it was Chen Feng's order. She got so angry that she swept all the food on the table onto the floor. Li's father didn't care about that and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong, Jiaojiao? Tell me quickly."

With a dark expression, Li Jiaojiao told her father what had happened at the entrance of Xinyue Tower. Her father was stunned. He never expected that a man could actually refuse his daughter, and even turn her away from the door.

"Anyway, I'm not going again. If you want to go, go yourself." If she went again, where would she put her face?

Hearing Li Jiaojiao's words, Li's father also had a terrible headache. He was definitely unwilling to give up such a wealthy son-in-law, but now it was not a good idea to let Li Jiaojiao go.

However, when he thought of Li Jiaojiao's words about letting him go, Li's father's eyes lit up. That's right, Li Jiaojiao can't go now, but he can go by himself. So he comforted Li Jiaojiao and said, "It's okay, I'll go for you this afternoon."

"What?" Li Jiaojiao looked at her father suspiciously. "Father, what use is it for you to go?"

"I'll go and propose marriage on your behalf," Mr. Li said smugly. "They say marriage is arranged by parents and matchmakers. You go and he refuses, but I'm your father, your elder. Surely Chen Feng can't refuse again, can he?"

After listening to her father's words, Li Jiaojiao thought it was feasible and said, "Then Father, you must succeed."

"Don't worry, just wait for good news from your father."

Li Jiaojiao seemed to have already imagined her father's success and couldn't help but immerse herself in her fantasy. As long as she could successfully marry Chen Feng, she would have a share of the huge New Moon Tower. As the New Moon Tower grew bigger and bigger, just like her father said, even those arrogant officials' wives would have to humbly fawn over her.

Li's father had his servants prepare some gifts, and in the afternoon he personally took those gifts to the Crescent Moon Tower.

The waiter at Crescent Moon Restaurant only knew Li Jiaojiao and didn't know that Li's father was Li Jiaojiao's father. When he heard Li's father say that he wanted to see Chen Feng, he thought that Li's father was Chen Feng's business partner, so he took Li's father to see Chen Feng.

When Chen Feng saw Li's father, he was also puzzled. He didn't know Li's father, and looking at Li's father with a big smile and carrying gifts, Chen Feng felt strange no matter how he looked at him.

"May I ask who you are?"

"Hello, Mr. Chen." Mr. Li said to Chen Feng with a smile, "Mr. Chen may not know me, but I know Mr. Chen, and I came here today specifically for Mr. Chen."

Chen Feng was even more puzzled, only to hear Li's father continue, "Actually, I came here today to find a spouse for Mr. Chen."

"..." Chen Feng was silent for a moment. This person was really strange, but he finally understood the purpose of this person's visit today.

All the matchmakers he had met were women; this was the first time he had met a male matchmaker, but He Fei was already in his heart.

Chen Feng replied, "Thank you for your trouble, sir. I have no intention of getting married."

“Hey, Mr. Chen, don’t be so quick to refuse,” said Mr. Li. “We’re all men. Career is important, but family is just as important. Now that Mr. Chen is successful, wouldn’t it be wonderful to have a few more beautiful wives and concubines?”

"...I'm sorry, I didn't mean that."

"Well, to tell you the truth, Mr. Chen, I'm actually Li Jiaojiao's father. Ever since my daughter met Mr. Chen a few days ago and fell in love with him at first sight, she's been so obsessed with him that she can't eat or sleep. She's rejected so many promising young men, and now she's become like this because of Mr. Chen. As her father, I couldn't bear to see her like this, so I came to propose to Mr. Chen on Jiaojiao's behalf." As he spoke, Mr. Li sighed, appearing every bit the doting father who loves his daughter dearly.
