When he was still a kid, his mother tossed him to his aunt. Now that he was in high school, his mother was still unwilling to look after him. All she wanted was to send him away.

  She wanted to let someone else raise her son.

  That was when Chen Feng finally believed everything his grandparents had told him. This selfish woman was who his mother really was.

  “Mon, don’t worry about me. I will be staying in the dorms, and I can go back to the Chen family during the holidays. I’m old enough to take care of myself.”

  At first, the Chen family sold almost all their properties when they left Ping Cheng.

  However, the property prices were on the rise, so Chen Jun decided to buy a house in Ping Cheng three years ago.

  Everything was under Chen Feng’s name, of course.

  It was a financial safety net for Chen Feng in case Qiao Zijin wouldn’t give him any money.

  If Qiao Zijin were still the same as before, then she would be running away from her responsibilities of taking care of her son.

  What to do then?

  Chen Feng had to have a guardian before he reached adulthood.

  So all Qiao Zijin had to do was act as a guardian, and the Chen family would take care of everything else.

  Army?

  \r \r \r

  Chen Feng wasn’t sure when he was young, but now, he was certain that he wasn’t interested in the military.

  When he was in secondary school, Chen Feng had thought about studying abroad.

  The reason that Chen Jun worked so hard to save up was to put more assets under Chen Feng’s name in case anything unprecedented happened.

  If it weren’t for his grandparents and sick father, Chen Feng would have left to study abroad a long time ago. After all, the local college entrance examination was too competitive.

  The elders didn’t have many days left, and Chen Jun was ill. No one knew who would be the first to leave this world. There was no way that Chen Feng could leave in this situation.

  The Chen family sent Chen Feng Feng to Qiao Zijin as a form of protection as well.

  It was better to stay away from the possibility of being infected by such a dangerous disease.

  The elders felt that it wouldn’t matter if they were infected as they didn’t have much time left anyway.

  However, Chen Feng had a bright future ahead of him. If he were infected, his entire life would be destroyed.

  Chen Feng had his own plans, and the Chen family was willing to support him. Needless to say, the money needed for Chen Feng’s future was already prepared for him.

  However, the elders obviously would not entrust Qiao Zijin with the money.

  The money was for Chen Feng’s studies, and the elders had reminded Chen Feng to keep it a secret from Qiao Zijin until he was about to leave.

  Chen Feng had no reason to let Qiao Zijin know how much money the Chen family had left him with.

  He had survived the days when he needed his mom the most.

  Now that he was older, he had no need to ask Qiao Zijin for help anymore.

  Chen Feng firmly believed that his grandparents would never lie to him.

  Even if his mother were nice to her, it was insufficient for him to have a good impression of her.

  “Does the Chen family still have a house in Ping Cheng? Is it a big house? It must be inconvenient to live alone. Should I move in? I can cook a meal for you when you are back from school.”

  Living in a big house had become Qiao Zijin’s obsession. She used to be the owner of one, but it had been years since she lived in one.

  She was Chen Feng’s mother, and she was a part of the Chen family in the past. Now that she had to take care of Chen Feng, she saw no problem with her moving into his house.

  “Feng Feng, don’t see me as an outsider. I’m not doing this to take advantage of you. I haven’t remarried since the divorce because I didn’t want you to have a stepfather. Unlike your dad, I’ve been living with my mom all this while. You know your father’s condition very well. I don’t mind living with you since I am your mother, but I’m not too sure about my mother.”

  Qiao Zijin had not told Ding Jiayi about Chen Jun’s condition. She took Chen Feng in because the elders had no time to look after their grandson.

  Knowing how selfish Ding Jiayi was, she would probably stop Chen Feng from entering the house.

  This morning, Qiao Zijin was still thinking about how to hide it from Ding Jiayi so that Chen Feng could live a normal life.

  Now that she knew that Chen Feng had a house in Ping Cheng, everything was solved.

  The house that the Chen family prepared for Chen Feng was definitely better than the old house.

  She was just getting sick of the quad, and she was tired of quarreling with Ding Jiayi day and night.

  It would be great if she could move out and live with her son. “By the way, did the Chen family give you all their money? How much money do you have? Did anyone in the Chen family bully you? Do you really not have a younger sibling after your dad married that woman?”

  Qiao Zijin found it hard to believe that someone like Chen Jun only had one child.

  Chen Feng’s face sank. “I’m not sure how much money I have, but it should be enough for me. My dad did marry again, but I am the only child in the family.”

  Chen Feng didn’t like talking about this. “Mom, I understand your concerns. You can move in if you want to live with me. However, who’s going to take care of the elders after you leave?”

  Everyone knew that Qiao Zijin was still single.
