when I tried to negotiate cooperation sincerely and you refused to cooperate, did you need someone to hold a knife to your neck for you to listen But let me tell you, it's too late! Please understand...Main Text Chapter 82: A Woman Must Marry

Upon entering the small building, Sheng Fei saw that all her relatives were there, enjoying a pleasant atmosphere. Naturally, she was also very happy to see this.

Sheng Fei's grandparents are already in their eighties, but they still have decent health and frequently work on the land. Seeing Sheng Fei return so rarely, the elders couldn't help smiling broadly.

The two cousins were especially delighted when they saw Sheng Fei, but there was also a hint of eagerness in their delight. Without the money Sheng Fei sent home every month, they wouldn’t have been able to build such a small building. Without a house, it would be virtually impossible for them to find wives in Liren Town. However, across all of China, housing has become the most critical criterion for mothers-in-law assessing potential sons-in-law, and this is no different in rural areas.

Sheng Fei's two cousins, Sheng Qi and Sheng Hao, are now both in their twenties and ready to marry. They work as laborers on construction teams. Before that, due to a lack of money at home, nobody came to propose for them. But after the second aunt helped build this small building for them, matchmakers started coming one after another until almost wearing out the threshold of the door. This made Sheng Qi and Sheng Hao very happy indeed; naturally, they felt grateful towards their rarely seen cousin.

"Feifei, it's great that you came back today," Grandmother held the hand of her most accomplished granddaughter and looked at her fondly: "The old Fei family from the village head has sent people over several times to talk about letting you meet his son. Yes, he’s named Fei Lin, right You were classmates in elementary school."

In Sheng Fei's mind appeared a little figure with a runny nose, and she couldn't help but laugh out loud. She and this Fei Lin had been desk mates in primary school, where he would always follow closely behind her like a shadow. But because the boy suffered from rhinitis since childhood, his nose was constantly running, making it impossible to wipe clean; thus, he got the nickname "Snot Noodle."

However, after middle school, Sheng Fei and Fei Lin attended different schools and haven't been in contact for many years. She only heard that he's doing well in Beijing.

Seeing Sheng Fei laugh, the grandmother thought it was promising; she exchanged glances with Mother Sheng, both of them seeing satisfaction in each other’s eyes.

“Xiao Fei, Feng Lin is also working in the capital now. He's said to be a sales manager and earns quite well. It’s rumored that he even has a house there; you know how expensive housing prices are in the capital—how difficult it must be to afford one! I think you two would make a good match. Both of you earn money, and since you’re classmates and from the same hometown, you can look out for each other when you’re away.” Grandmother seemed quite eager.

“Grandma, my career is in its upward phase right now. I’m not thinking about dating yet, let alone marriage,” said Sheng Fei with a smile as she politely declined, having been caught off guard by this development upon returning home.

Still, considering that she was already twenty-seven, at her age back home she would probably have two children. Grandma and mom were bound to be anxious about it. However, regarding arranged marriages, Sheng Fei still had some reservations deep down. She always believed in free love and valued feelings deeply; this was precisely why she had delayed getting married so far.

“That won’t do, you’re already twenty-seven now, and in two years’ time you’ll be thirty,” said Grandmother worriedly: “Feng Lin happened to come home these past couple of days. He came over to our house the day before yesterday, I took a look at him—what a good-looking lad! Dark eyebrows and large eyes, he looks very spirited. Xiao Fei, it's been ages since you last saw Feng Lin; why don’t you just meet up with him You might fancy him.”

Sheng Fei smiled sadly: “Grandma, I think we should probably not do that. Honestly, I really don't want to get married so early.”

“Xiao Fei, since your grandma has spoken up, why don’t you listen and just meet him” Old Sheng had passed away long ago; Sheng Fei’s mother had been living alone for many years. She naturally wanted to see her daughter get married and have children sooner rather than later.

“Oh come on, Mom,” said Sheng Fei with a pleading look: “I really don’t want to. I’m fully committed to my career right now, there’s absolutely no time for dating.”

“People who don’t have the time for dating will always find time for arranged marriages when the time comes,” said Sheng Qi as he ran over and chimed in.

“Get lost!” Sheng Fei picked up an orange and threw it straight at Sheng Qi’s forehead.

At this moment, a loud voice filled with surprise was suddenly heard from the courtyard gate: "Grandpa and Grandma, I've brought some specialties from the capital. Oh Shangku Sheng Fei is back"

The expression on Sheng Mom's face also revealed her surprise: "Look, when you talk about Cao Cao, Cao Cao appears. You two really do have a karmic connection, entering right after each other."

The visitor was Fei Lin, who wore black-framed glasses and had thick eyebrows and bright eyes. His square face always held a confident smile that made him look sunny and cheerful, quite handsome.

For a man who could buy an apartment in the capital city—a place where land is as precious as gold—at the age of twenty-eight with his own strength, not wearing a confident smile would be odd indeed.

"Grandpa and Grandma, Aunt," Fei Lin carried several boxes of pastries. After seeing Sheng Fei, he looked very surprised: "I didn't expect you to have returned as well."

When Sheng Fei saw Fei Lin, she got up with a smile: "It's been so many years since we last met; how is your rhinitis"

Hearing this, Fei Lin laughed loudly, as if recalling many happy memories: "I'm fine now. I really am better now. After the surgery in the capital, even when I have a cold, my nose doesn't run."

Feeling Sheng Fei's outstanding demeanor and looks, Fei Lin didn’t hide his admiration: "Truly, girls do change as they grow up; you've become a top beauty. Twenty years ago, who would have thought our small village could produce such a golden phoenix like you."

Fei Lin was from a sales background and had now risen to be the regional sales manager of a company in the capital city; his words naturally pleased people greatly, praising others without leaving any trace. This made Sheng Fei's grandparents and mother laugh heartily, clearly indicating that they liked this young man very much.

"You've managed to buy a house in the capital through your own efforts, which is quite impressive." Sheng Fei smiled and said: "I'm still living with friends now. I envy those who have their own homes."

Sheng Fei was speaking the truth; she indeed didn't have her own place. Usually, she would often work overtime in the office until very late at night, so where did she find time to look for a house and move in Moreover, if not for winning some Starlight Award that caused her value to rise significantly, or Zhang Mingqi being coerced by Wang Zheng into giving her shares of Blue Sea, she wouldn't have been able to afford a large apartment in the capital.

Sheng Fei was indeed living with someone, but this friend's name was actually — Shangguan Shishi.

Fern heard this and became even happier. His confident smile grew more intense: "With rental costs being so high in the capital now, why don't you live at my place It's a two-bedroom apartment with an area of 82 square meters. After裝修完畢晾了三個月，現在剛入住。你也搬過去吧，咱們兩個人也好有個照應。”

“這樣不太好吧。”盛霏被費林的熱情嚇到了。

“冇什麼不好的，又不要房租，再說我那兒可是三環的，交通方便，你上班肯定很近。”費林特意強調了“三環”兩個字。要知道以現在首都的房價，三環的房子一般都能賣到均價五萬一平了。費林這套房子加裝修一共也得四五百來萬。對於一個不到三十歲的男人來講，這絕對是值得自豪自信的本錢。

“對了，你朋友家在哪裡？離得遠嗎？”費翔問道。

Sheng Fei hesitated for a moment before finally saying: "It's quite far, in the suburbs."

Sheng Fei wasn't lying; the luxurious Tianshingshan villa complex was indeed located in the — suburbs of the capital. a gleaming, shiny one, but this color is undoubtedly the safest and most effective on the battlefield!"Shadow Scar! It's Woe's Shadow Scar!" Upon seeing that willow-leaf-shaped black longsword, Qian...
