Chapter 298 - 293: Phoenix Man
Upon seeing his daughter’s demeanor and hearing her words, Zhang Changfeng knew the matter was thorny—his daughter was obviously in deep love. Could he really make them break up? Besides, he didn’t want to be the villain in his daughter’s heart.
"What’s the situation with that boy? Tell Dad about him," Zhang Changfeng cautiously asked.
Seeing that her father wasn’t particularly opposed, Zhang Meng shyly began to list Ye Qiu’s strengths: "His name is Ye Qiu, he’s a classmate of mine. Dad, Ye Qiu is really incredible, he has always been the top student in our major in the exams, and this summer he was even introduced by Professor Wang from our college to intern at the Provincial Hospital! He’s the only one from our school who got this opportunity."
Upon hearing his daughter’s words, Zhang Changfeng was surprised. Being a doctor himself, who had fought hard over the years to successfully establish the first high-end private hospital in F City, he was very much aware of how outstanding a person must be to intern at the Provincial Hospital in their junior year of college. It seemed this young man did have some impressive qualities.
"What about his family background?" Zhang Changfeng inquired subconsciously.
To his surprise, Zhang Meng hesitated: "Dad, who asks about someone else’s family situation the first time they meet? We’ve just started dating; I don’t really know much about his family."
Zhang Changfeng had only asked casually, not expecting it to reveal an actual issue. He wasn’t someone who despised the poor and loved the rich; with the assets he had accumulated over decades, he could easily provide a comfortable life for his daughter in the future. However, he didn’t want someone to approach his daughter with ulterior motives because of wealth.
"Alright, alright, I won’t ask. But you can at least tell me who pursued who, right?"
"I pursued him," said Zhang Meng, her face turning red, but subconsciously omitting to mention that Ye Qiu had liked her first. "Dad, you’re not allowed to laugh at me. At first, Ye Qiu was really cold towards me; I had to pester him for a long time before I succeeded!"
After hearing this, although Zhang Changfeng knew that the other party wasn’t intentionally approaching his daughter for money, he was still quite displeased. His darling daughter that he had cherished and protected for twenty years, how could she belittle herself to chase after a man? She lacked discernment; his Mengmeng was so outstanding!
