Sweet Wife Arrives: Mr. CEO, Please Pamper Me

Chapter 375: V264: Mrs. Feng’s threshold is too high; their iceberg never surfaces for the world to see.

For a moment, Gu Zixuan was about to apologize, but froze.She raised her eyes and looked for a while, unsure if she knew the woman in front of her.

The other party seemed to understand what she was surprised about.

With a low laugh, she reached out and said, "Heart Benefit Charity Foundation president, Chen Yiyue."

In an instant, Gu Zixuan understood who the other party was, because tonight’s charity gala was organized by the Heart Benefit Charity Foundation.

...ics; the second, a top master artist; the third, notorious for his Forbes ranking and the market valuation of his company; and the youngest sister, who accelerated her studies all the way to a postdoctoral degree in medicine, was even hard to recruit by the world-class Johns Hopkins Hospital. This... is widely known."

Facing Gu Zixuanxin’s trembling gaze.

Chen Yiyue continued, "But there are some things not known to the public. President Feng’s grandfather, Mr. Feng Shixing, apart from having the son Feng Jingguo, also had two daughters, who are President Feng’s aunts."

"Aunts?" Gu Zixuan furrowed her brows.

Chen Yiyue nodded, "One of these aunts changed her nationality and is now a cabinet senator in the Canadian Privy Council Office. The other married a local mining magnate in Minnesota, United States, and later gave birth to two sons. One followed in his father’s footsteps and, even with the current unfavorable conditions in the U.S. mining industry, achieved a staggering 11.3% annual growth rate. The other son is someone you are more familiar with."

"Who?" Gu Zixuan’s eyelashes trembled even more.

"Bob.Simonyi."

In an instant, Gu Zixuan froze. Not to mention how high of a status one of the aunts has, which she clearly understood. Bob.Simonyi, of course, she had heard of—he was among the top chief engineering designers at Microsoft, with the capability to become CEO in no time if he were to start his own venture.

Gu Zixuan was speechless.

Chen Yiyue just smiled and shook her head, saying, "So, do you understand the level of prestige that the Feng family holds? They are not just influential in China but have connections worldwide, in the strongest fields. Automobiles, technology, finance, design—they have delved into all of these areas and each member is exceptional. They are a gigantic family, and the Feng family branch in China is just one end. Their iceberg never surfaces for the world to see."

Chen Yiyue finished speaking.

Gu Zixuan fell into deep shock and contemplation.

Recalling the other members of Feng Chengjin’s family she once met, she was curious at the time. Elder Sister-in-law Li Zhi seemed like a noblewoman who rarely ventured out, but her family background was as the granddaughter of a deceased old marshal of China.

Although the Second Sister was divorced, she had heard Feng Chengjin mention in passing that her ex-husband was the owner of a large family enterprise, a French winery. The Second Sister actually gave birth to a son and a daughter, but the son remained in France while the daughter was brought back and her surname changed to follow her mother.

Even the most carefree Feng Yuxi was actually attending school at Beijing Tsinghua Engineering College while running around visiting Feng Chengjin’s company.

She was curious at the time if there was anyone in their family with a simpler background or less capacity.

Did the Feng family just enjoy finding partners who matched their status?

At this moment, after hearing Chen Yiyue’s introduction.

She finally understood why Feng Chengjin had never liked a woman before the age of twenty-six.

Perhaps it wasn’t because he was picky or just wanted someone from a good family.

Rather, growing up in such an atmosphere, some demands transcended expectations and became the most basic requirement.

He would disregard anyone who wasn’t up to standard.

...

Gu Zixuan picked up a glass of juice and took a sip, remaining silent.

Her chaotic mind left her lips trembling, unable to swallow even the juice down her throat.

Her knowing gaze made Chen Qi Yue look at her, smiling gently, "Now you understand why I advised you to leave sooner?"

Gu Zixuan understood her current family status, even if her father had no trouble and hadn’t been reinstated to his position, it was always...

After swallowing with difficulty, she paused, took a breath, and said, "I understand, but I think it’s not that bad, I..."

"I know it’s not that bad. Actually, Zixuan, I know your father, and I’m aware of your family situation. If it were a few years ago, your family background would have matched President Feng’s family, considered well-matched and an ideal match. But just in the past few years, your father’s career has faced frequent setbacks. Especially this May and June, he experienced the biggest turmoil ever, almost entering prison..." Chen Yiyue paused, carrying a hint of helplessness.

"Prison, Zixuan, although your father only faced disciplinary action now, the fact remains he hasn’t been reinstated, and your uncle and others who helped during this time were also implicated. In terms of family background, it might still be considered a rather decent family, but... for a hidden noble family like the Fengs, President Feng’s father would definitely never agree."

The first half of the sentence, Chen Yiyue spoke lightly; but with the last sentence, there was an innate hint of bittersweetness mixed in her orchid-like demeanor.

Gu Zixuan certainly didn’t miss it, and with her trembling heart, she asked, "How are you so certain?"

Chen Yiyue looked at Gu Zixuan, standing under the light, dressed in light blue, her elegance and grace exuded a comfortable warmth.

Yet the bitter irony at the corner of her lips tugged so lightly, as if the heart was abruptly touched, understanding all the pain.

Chen Yiyue said, "Because you today are like I was in the past. The Feng family, never as easy to approach as they appear on the surface, and the men of Feng... are not as deeply devoted as you feel."
