After my divorce, I started to have good luck

Even though by that time, they had been in a cold war for a while and their feelings for each other had almost worn out, he was still very conscientious and didn't want to harm her.

But Shen Lin didn't know he was terminally ill. After she last saw Wu Mengting, she had been suspecting that Chen Feng had a mistress outside, which was why he proposed a divorce.

Even though Chen Feng had explained before, and now he had broken up with Wu Mengting, this suspicion in her heart still couldn't be let go. She snorted coldly, "What can I say to them? I just stated the fact, saying you were the one who proposed the divorce, and I tried to reconcile, but ultimately failed."

This was also the truth. Back then, Shen Lin did give him an opportunity, a chance to reconcile, but how sincere she was is unknown.

At least in Chen Feng's view, the so-called opportunity Shen Lin gave him at that time was a kind of charity, more like a mockery. He certainly wouldn't accept it.

However, arguing about this now is pointless, and Chen Feng didn't want to quarrel with them.

"Okay. So what do you mean now? What do you want me to explain to you?"

Chen Feng asked straightforwardly, looking at Mr. Shen.

Mr. Shen didn't hesitate, immediately saying, "Very simple. My daughter wasted so many years of her youth with you. You can't just pat your butt and walk away with nothing left to her. So, you must pay my daughter 500,000 for her lost youth."

Upon hearing this, Shen Lin couldn't help but widen her eyes and shouted angrily to her father, "Dad, what nonsense are you talking about? When did I ever ask him for money?"

Mr. Shen also glared and said, "You silly girl, you wasted so many years of your youth with him. Isn't it normal to ask for a little compensation? Other couples who divorce, even if the wife had nothing before marriage, could split quite a bit of property after divorcing. Those who have two houses could even split one. Look at you, divorced him and didn't get a penny. Tell me, silly girl, have you lost your mind?"

Mrs. Shen also said with a look of anger and disappointment, "We've tried to consider his family situation, only asking for 500,000, otherwise, demanding 5 million wouldn't be too much. You've been with him for over five years, right? Averaging over 100,000 a year? It's not much at all."

"You… You're driving me mad? You make me feel like I'm selling myself." Shen Lin was so angry her face flushed red.

"What nonsense are you talking?" Mrs. Shen scolded her daughter and emphasized, "This is a compensation for your lost youth and a breakup fee. If he has any conscience, he should give it to you. Otherwise, you've wasted these years with him for nothing."

Shen Lin shouted angrily, "Do you think I was with him for money? Where is my dignity after you said that?"

Mr. Shen also angrily said, "You're already divorced, what dignity do you need?"

Shen Lin wanted to argue more, but Chen Feng interjected first, "Alright, alright, I understand what you mean now. Isn't it just money? I can give it to you. Come, have a seat. Since you are here, let's have a good meal. Let's treat it as our last meal together in this life."

When Chen Feng said this, the three members of the Shen family all looked at him in shock.

"Please, sit down." Chen Feng gestured for them to sit, in a polite manner.

The three Shen family members looked at one another for a while, eventually, Mr. Shen was the first to sit opposite Chen Feng and asked, "Are you really willing to pay my daughter 500,000 as a breakup fee?"

Chen Feng nodded calmly, "Yes. After the meal, I'll transfer 500,000 to her."

Mr. Shen was stunned, suspiciously asking, "Can you come up with 500,000 all at once?"

Chen Feng said relaxedly, "Of course. I made some money from stock trading a while ago, 500,000 is more than enough."

The three members of the Shen family were all skeptical.

Shen Lin stared at Chen Feng for a while, her intuition told her Chen Feng wasn't lying.

However, Shen Lin still said coldly, "I don't want your dirty money."

"Shen Lin, don't refuse." Chen Feng said solemnly, "I'm willing to give this money, as a little compensation for you. I know I let you down before, and now I finally have some money, it's right to give you some to spend."

Upon hearing this, Shen Lin's eyes involuntarily reddened, her cold demeanor couldn't hold up anymore. She said with a slightly trembling voice, "If you had spoken to me like this and worked hard earlier, we wouldn't have ended up like this."

Chen Feng thought to himself, not everyone who works hard can get rich, it also requires luck.

However, her words did touch Chen Feng somewhat, after all, they were once in love, this fact couldn't be faked.

"There's no point in talking about it now." Chen Feng finished speaking and shook his head, then pressed the service bell to let the waiter come in.

"Bring us a serving of your restaurant's signature dishes, and a bottle of Flying Maotai and two bottles of juice. That'll be it for now."

Chen Feng had no intention of letting them order, he just made the decision directly.

After the waiter went out, Chen Feng said to them, "You've heard of Fuman Building's signature dishes, haven't you?"

Fuman Building was a renowned restaurant of Xiu Zhou. Even though they were from a county below, they still had some knowledge of Fuman Building.

So, when they heard Chen Feng ordering all the signature dishes, they were shocked. According to Chen Feng's standard, it wouldn't be less than tens of thousands of yuan, the Flying Maotai he ordered seemed trivial in comparison.

Therefore, the three members of the Shen family didn't know what to say for a while.

Finally, Shen Lin spoke, looking at Chen Feng with a somewhat complicated expression, "It looks like you've really made money now. But did you really earn it all from trading stocks? I remember you never traded stocks before."

"Believe it or not."

They all fell into silence for a while.

Not long after, a waiter knocked and came in to serve them a pot of tea.

After the waiter poured them tea and went out, Mrs. Shen suddenly sighed and said, "We're not really forcing you to compensate for lost youth. It's just that thinking of Lin following you with no complaints for so many years, and ending up with such a result, as parents, our hearts can't feel at ease. If you both could talk nicely and try to get back together, we certainly wouldn't want the money."

Shen Lin didn't say anything upon hearing this but just looked at Chen Feng in silence.

"This money must be given." Chen Feng said without the slightest hesitation, "When we divorced, I must have been mostly responsible. Now that I have money, it's only right to compensate Shen Lin a little. As for getting back together, I don't think it's necessary. Before the divorce, there were already issues and cracks in our relationship. After the divorce, everything became fleeting, and trying to mend it is impossible."
