Transmigration: On the Gossip Front

Capítulo 1434: Chapter 1435: The Frustrated Eldest Mistress 44

As the number of people on the dock dwindled and no familiar faces were in sight, he had to admit that Zhang Ji, the unfilial son, really didn’t come to pick him up.

To think that he had specially informed the Feng Family Members in Harbor City before departing.

He hoped that the Feng Family Members would notify Zhang Ji, and even if he was unwilling, he’d pinch his nose and come to pick him up.

Who would have thought that the kid really didn’t come.

With no choice, he could only hire a car to take them to the hotel.

Upon arriving at the hotel, he found all the good rooms had been snatched up. Helpless, he could only book a standard suite.

Looking at the room rate, Feng Hao was truly shocked by the price; it wasn’t like that the last time he was in Harbor City.

The front desk staff smiled, “It’s set by the boss.”

“If you find it unsuitable, you can check out other hotels,” the receptionist said politely, implying if you think it’s too expensive, go elsewhere, this hotel’s rooms would have no trouble being occupied.

What could Feng Hao do, with so many familiar people around, he couldn’t afford to lose face.

Feng Hao booked a room for 20 days, determined to find a place to move out within those 20 days.

With the money being spent here, it would be better to buy a house and move out to live more comfortably in one’s own home.

Feng Hao thought no one came to pick him up; little did he know that Zhang Yu was watching them from an inn across from the dock.

With binoculars scanned up and down at Feng Hao, seeing his old and awkward look, Zhang Yu was truly comforted, feeling this was the most correct way to handle it.

“Brother, you have no idea, Feng Hao and his group were just dumbly waiting on the dock.”

“All the people who disembarked had already dispersed when they finally cursed and hired a car.”

Zhang Yu was in a great mood today, “Tomorrow, let’s go out to eat, I heard a new restaurant opened.”

“It’s an old brand from Shencheng,” a restaurant the main character quite liked; now the old place had reopened, of course, it was a good opportunity not to be missed.

When Zhang Han knew Zhang Yu was going to the dock, he couldn’t help but feel anxious, worried about any unexpected incidents.

Fortunately, nothing unusual happened; Zhang Yu, seeing his awkward appearance, instead felt very happy, “Great, if you like it, let’s go.”

Zhang Han decided on the spot, “By the way, do you think Feng Hao will call you?”

Call me? Zhang Yu didn’t even bother to look up, “For what? To reminisce?”

“When I returned to Shencheng, I never thought of reminiscing with him, and now, I don’t even have that thought.”

“He’s just a burden now, a big burden,” Zhang Yu said disdainfully.

Zhang Yu rolled her eyes unceremoniously, “If I were to support a man, wouldn’t it be one who’s obedient and no burden?”

“Like him, broke, burdened, and still acts like he’s the big boss, how muddled must I be to spoil him.”

Everyone knew that Zhang Yu’s words were just talk, followed by inaction.

Just then, the phone at home rang, and Cuixiang rushed out from the kitchen to answer it.

“Miss, it’s Master Feng.”

Feng Kai? Zhang Yu didn’t expect it was actually Feng Kai calling—was it about Feng Hao?

Indeed, Feng Hao is not as glamorous as before; coming here, he can’t organize on his own and can only turn to Feng Kai.

Sometimes the patriarch is really pitiful, only being thought of now.

Zhang Yu took the call and heard Feng Kai’s rapid words on the other end, listening while playfully cleaning her ear: Was it Feng Hao who wasn’t awake, or was it me?

Zhang Yu: Feng Hao and I have long ceased to be husband and wife, and he has given up on the father-son, father-daughter relationships with Zhang Ji and Zhang Lili.

Zhang Yu: So we are strangers now, how could he propose to stay in the villa under my name?

Zhang Yu: All my villas are rented out, and he shouldn’t talk about paying rent; people like him speak nothing but empty words, none of which will materialize.

Zhang Yu was really angry; just arriving in Harbor City, he’s already scheming over her small villa; now it’s the small villa, will it be the mountaintop land in the future?

People like Feng Hao will undoubtedly act inch by inch, unaware of what Feng Kai’s intentions are; if it’s to persuade her, then he should quickly buzz off.

Feng Kai: I’m just reminding you, he hopes I weigh in.

Zhang Yu: You just tell him I disagree, we’re all strangers.

Zhang Yu: If he has no money, he should go to the New Territories—bringing along a bunch of women and children when broke—is he really broke?

Zhang Yu only wants to ask, does he know what being broke means? people without money, let alone taking care of a group, struggle to support themselves.

Zhang Yu was indifferent: We, mother and children, have nothing to do with him financially.

Zhang Yu was quite curious: After all, Feng Hao is a part of the Feng family, as the Feng family patriarch, do you?

It really did make Zhang Yu discover that Feng Kai vaguely mentioned how the family would assist those having a hard time within the clan.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yu immediately knew, with such assistance levels: Feng Hao would certainly disdain it.

Feng Kai: There’s nothing we can do then, we can only relieve emergencies, not poverty; with the many people Feng Hao brings with him, even a huge fortune might not suffice.

Feng Kai said meaningfully: Also, Feng Hao’s family has been in business for so many years, it’s not just about what’s on the surface.

This was hinting to her that the Feng family’s assets on the surface are vast, possibly most located in Harbor City?

Thinking about it, it’s not surprising; Old Master Feng and their generation have experienced too much, they definitely wouldn’t put all their eggs in one basket.

Zhang Yu chuckled lightly: Obtaining those things, I’m really very satisfied.

Zhang Yu: The important thing is that my son and daughter are with me, not by his side.

To the main character, is money important? Perhaps it is, but it can’t be compared to their family of three’s life.

Zhang Yu: It’s actually good that Feng Hao has money; otherwise, without money, even if we ignored him, he’d keep pestering us, which would be quite troublesome.

Zhang Kai understood, this is Zhang Yu’s real thought, not a pretense: Indeed.

Zhang Yu smugly stated: These days, the stock market has gone up quite a bit, and I’ve earned quite a lot again.

Zhang Yu: If I hadn’t divorced him back then, I might still be stuck in Shencheng now, would I be able to benefit from the real estate boom in Harbor City?

Zhang Yu: I wouldn’t have had the luck to buy a house on the mountaintop, let alone my brother and I buying land in Happy Valley.

Zhang Yu: I also wouldn’t have made money in the stock market.

Zhang Yu: The money I’ve made during this time far exceeds what I might have from Feng Hao.

Zhang Yu: Moreover, with the hundred-plus US dollars and items I got before, Feng Hao already parted with them unwillingly; wanting more, that’s impossible.

Actually, those items are not spectacular but not bad either; slowly releasing them later might net another 20,000 US dollars. For origınal chapters go to 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵⁂𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮⁂𝓷𝓮𝓽

Zhang Yu: Breaking even in time, can provide a better me and a broader vista.
