Chapter 2083 The truth
Mrs. Woodson nodded in agreement this time and said with some emotion: "Yes, they will live a good life..." "They will definitely live a happier life than we were back then!"
Feng's father whispered, not noticing Mrs. Woodson's slightly changed face, and continued: "Without a family marriage, they really love each other, and they have come together, and they have experienced many things together. Such a couple is already rare among these wealthy families in modern times!"
That family marriage seemed to have a little more ironic meaning in Mrs. Woodson's ears.
She curled a bitter smile on the corner of her lips and said in a low voice: "Do you know, Xia Chuqi and I were also sitting in this restaurant, and I invited her... At that time, I decided that Feng Xun wanted to marry a marriage partner of a good match, and even used many ugly words to mock Xia Chuqi, trying to force her to leave Feng Xun!"
"Eva, you shouldn't be like this!"
Feng's father frowned slightly, shook his head and said unhappily: "Xiaoqi is a good child, she really likes Feng Xun!"
He still remembers that in Genoa's manor, Xiaoqi's child deliberately pretended to be a boy to play chess with him, just to make him recover soon... Later, he was sober and was taken back to the manor by them. He also learned about her original disguise and felt that her sincerity was more and more valuable! "She was brave enough. Even if she didn't have a strong family background, she had her highlights. The most important thing is that her feelings for Feng Xun were real and she did not get mixed with those messy impurities!"
Mrs. Woodson responded softly and said, "But I didn't believe it at the time. I didn't believe that she was not interested in Feng Xun's family background... Of course, she was not scared away by my attitude, and even mocked me!"
She said this and smiled self-deprecatingly: "I thought she was sharp-tongued and harsh at that time. Now that I think about it, I realize that what she said is the truth! I have always been selfish and have never considered it from Feng Xun's perspective, nor do I care about Feng Xun's emotions..." "Although Feng Xun has never liked to talk since he was a child, he has always had his own opinions!"
Feng's father curled his lips slightly and said with a faint smile: "What's more, he has now managed the group's business well and does not need any family marriage to consolidate his position. Of course, he has to find a partner who loves each other to support him!"
This time, Mrs. Woodson didn't say anything more, until the meals were served, she just lowered her head and enjoyed silently.
For a moment, the atmosphere between the two became a little silent. After a while, Mrs. Woodson picked up a glass of red wine and took a sip. Then she couldn't help but ask: "If our two families had not chosen to marry, would you not marry me at all?"
Feng's father, holding the knife and fork, slapped slightly, but he only thought for a moment, and still cut a piece of lamb chop in an orderly manner and put it into his mouth. After the lamb chop was finished, he picked up the red wine and took a sip, and then replied in a low voice: "Eva, you should still remember that I was just the second child at that time, and I had a brother on it. In terms of inheriting family background, it was not my turn at that time..." "I know!"
Mrs. Woodson interrupted him and nodded seriously, "But I just want to know now that if there was no family marriage, would you not choose me as your wife?"
"At that time, we actually didn't have many choices..." Feng's father laughed and replied in a faint tone: "I do need a wife with family background to help me gain a foothold under the suppression of my elder brother, so this assumption does not exist at all!"
Mrs. Woodson was not satisfied with his answer, and even felt that he was just perfunctory to himself. She shouldn't have been obsessed with this question after these years... but for some reason, when she mentioned family marriage, she insisted on wanting an answer and wanted his true feelings! "So you think that if you marry me, you will have more support..." Mrs. Woodson sighed lowly and smiled self-deprecatingly: "But you could choose other families at that time. Don't say that you are not qualified. You also know how many noble daughters there are besides me who fell in love with you!"
Although he is not the eldest son or the heir of the Feng family, he is still the most conspicuous existence at the social dance of famous nobles! "Is that right, I can't remember it very clearly!"
Feng's father shrugged disinterestedly and whispered: "Although I can only choose a family marriage, at least I have to choose a partner that I don't hate..." "So you chose me just because I don't look that annoying!"
Mrs. Woodson shook her head with a wry smile. She had known for a long time that he didn't have much affection for her, so she was so cold after marriage and focused on her work! Even if she used various methods to stimulate him later, she just pushed him farther away... She even suspected that the rumors that she had had with Darren had actually been heard by him for a long time, but he hadn't cared about it! And he was later stimulated to be angry and even sick, and it was just because he bumped into this incident, which ruined his proud dignity! "Eva..." Feng's father saw her sad appearance, and didn't know what to say to comfort her.
Maybe because of illness, the things that happened with her back then were actually like passing clouds and mists, and he couldn't make any storm in his heart... "You don't need to say more!"
Mrs. Woodson waved her hand and smiled as if nothing had happened: "I know that you only have your family and your job, but no love!"
After she said this, tears flashed in her eyes: "But I should be glad that although you don't love me, you didn't fall in love with other women..." Mrs. Woodson picked up the red wine in front of her and drank it all in one breath, as if only in this way could the melancholy and bitterness in her heart be eliminated.
"Don't drink too much wine..." Seeing that she had to continue drinking a second glass of red wine, Feng's father whispered: "The past is over, so why bother with it?"
"Yes, I shouldn't be obsessed!"
Mrs. Woodson picked up the red wine and continued to drink it. Seeing this, Feng's father sighed silently in his heart.
