I'm back in 1990

Chapter 1183: Somewhat Disappointed

"What? Her mother didn't give you a red envelope?" Cheng Jing was very surprised to learn from her daughter that Ji Feng's mother hadn't given her any gift when she met her daughter.

"Oh dear! Maybe that's their custom there. Maybe they'll give it to us next time." Migo tried her best to explain things away for Ji Feng and Chen Jinhua.

But Cheng Jing couldn't believe it: "I've never heard of the custom of not giving a red envelope on the first meeting. There's only one possibility: his mother simply doesn't like you, which is why she didn't give one."

Miguo, however, took it for granted: "Whether she likes me or not is not important at all. Anyway, Ji Feng and I won't be living with them in the future."

Her words annoyed her mother, Cheng Jing. This silly girl really didn't understand anything: "Can you clear your head? Do you think marriage is just a matter between two people? It involves two families, and marriage is a major event in everyone's life. You're still young, and some things aren't as you think."

Seeing that her mother was a little angry, Miguo quickly comforted her, "Mom, I know, don't be angry."

After calming herself down, Cheng Jing asked, "What did Ji Feng say?"

"He took his mother to the hotel, and we didn't even have a chance to talk."

"Does Ji Fengxiao not know about our family's situation?"

Migo quickly shook her head: "He definitely doesn't know, I've never told him."

Cheng Jing believed her daughter on this point, as she had never heard her daughter boast about her family background in front of outsiders. However, to be honest, she was really angry that Ji Feng's mother, Chen Jinhua, was putting on airs and looking down on her daughter. Why should she?

She was already being kind by not looking down on Ji Feng back then. In terms of qualifications, there were countless people better than Ji Feng, and many talented young men. Wouldn't any of them be better than Ji Feng?

But her own daughter just happened to like Ji Feng, and the two started dating in their freshman year of college. Although she expressed her opposition at the time, after all, a son is no longer under his mother's control when he grows up, so in the end she acquiesced and gradually accepted the fact. She even started planning when the two families' parents would meet.

She never expected things to turn out this way; how could she not be angry?

Ultimately, Ji Feng's parents were just ordinary small business owners. Although he and Huang Erhe didn't run a business, their family was far wealthier than most, thanks to the trusts their brother-in-law had given them.

Not to mention that her three children each have their own trusts, she and her husband Huang Erhe earn more than ten million a year. She has invested all of this money, and over the years, it has become an astronomical figure. It is definitely better than Ji Feng's family!

Furthermore, there's the relationship with her brother-in-law. Although Migo isn't his biological niece, he treated her the same way and gave her a trust fund when she turned eighteen.

It's just that Chen Jinhua didn't know that if she knew her family's actual situation, plus that she had a brother-in-law who was Asia's richest man, she would definitely have shamelessly come to her family to claim kinship.

Having said enough, Cheng Jing had no intention of continuing the conversation and told Mi Guo to go back to her room to rest.

Then she went to check on her youngest daughter, Huang Ruidan. The little girl was busy doing her homework in her room. It's hard to believe she's already in second grade, but her homework speed is really disappointing. She's so slow; she can't finish that little bit of homework in two or three hours.

Seeing that her homework was done quite well, Cheng Jing gave her a few words of advice and then left her youngest daughter's room. Although she was a bit slow, the little girl had good self-discipline.

It seems to require no one to supervise her.)

Back in his bedroom, Huang Erhe was already lying in bed, looking at the news on his phone.

Seeing Cheng Jing enter, her expression not good, he put down his phone: "What's wrong? Did Dandan make you angry?"

"No, it's about Migo."

Huang Erhe was taken aback: "Miguo? What did Miguo do to make you angry?" He was somewhat incredulous, as he knew his stepdaughter's temperament.

Cheng Jing got angry as soon as the matter was mentioned: "Ji Feng's mother came today and met with Mi Guo, but she didn't even give her a red envelope. On the contrary, Mi Guo bought a lot of gifts and gave them to her. Do you think that's reasonable?"

Huang Erhe also felt that the other party's attitude was problematic: "Is such a thing really true?"

"I was against her dating so early from the beginning. I don't know what's wrong with this girl. She started dating so early, and even found someone from out of town. Now look what's happened, she's being looked down upon by him."

Huang Erhe advised, "Calm down. To be honest, Xiao Ji is a pretty good kid, but I never expected his mother to be this kind of person..."

Cheng Jing disagreed: "What's so great about it! I don't see anything good about it. With Mi Guo's qualities, she could easily find someone ten times better than Ji Feng."

After leaving the hotel that evening, Ji Feng called Mi Guo: "Are you home?"

"Mmm," Migo replied.

Ji Feng could sense that Mi Guo's mood was a bit off, so he quickly said, "My mom's attitude was a little off today, please don't mind it, that's just her personality."

Migo suddenly felt a little disappointed, but she still pretended to be nonchalant and smiled, "No, it was just like other parents, asking me some basic questions about me and my family."

Upon hearing this, Ji Feng felt a mix of emotions. He didn't really know much about Mi Guo's family situation. He only knew that her parents both worked for state-owned enterprises, that she had a half-brother studying in the United States, and that her mother had a younger sister who was currently in elementary school after remarrying.

Her family seems to be doing well. You can tell from the things Miguo eats, wears, and uses. Her family is quite well-off. Of course, it's not comparable to theirs. Even though Miguo's parents are middle-level managers with higher incomes, it's still not as much as their factory's annual profit.

This is also one of the reasons why his mother disapproved of Miguo. In his mother's view, a Shanghai household registration is not a plus at all.

Ji Feng said carefully, "My mother just talked to me a lot. She has some different opinions about our relationship."

After her mother's lecture, Miguo had become much more aware of things, so she was unusually calm at this moment: "What do you mean? Does she object to us being together?"

Ji Feng immediately explained, "It's not that she disagrees, it's just that she feels I'm the only son in the family, and we have a factory. They hope I can go back as soon as possible to help them manage it, so she thinks it's unrealistic for me to stay in Shanghai."

Migo asked directly, "And what about you? What are your thoughts?"

Ji Feng was silent for a while, then replied seriously, "I still want to be with you and stay in Shanghai. I told my mom that I have no interest in running a factory."

"I understand. It's getting late, you should get some rest!" Miguo then hung up the phone; she needed to think things over.
