Chapter 207 - 207 207 She Just Thinks of You as a Younger Brother

207: Chapter 207: She Just Thinks of You as a Younger Brother 207: Chapter 207: She Just Thinks of You as a Younger Brother “I don’t know what you’re thinking, but I can only say that your suggestion is very foolish,” Lin Fei, who had initially risen to leave, sat back down.

This was also because Shen Fanghua was Shen Peini’s exquisite aunt, as well as a steadfast ally to Mu Shanshan on the Mu Group’s board of directors, and even had a complicated and unclear relationship with Lin Fei’s cheap father-in-law, Mu Hong.

Had it been some uninvolved person daring to suggest outright that Lin Fei, the esteemed official, divorce Mu Shanshan, Lin Fei would have taken action long ago.

Had Shen Fanghua come to Lin Fei when he and Mu Shanshan had just married and said she could help him take care of Mu Hong—not to mention getting the Mu Group shares under Shen Fanghua’s name and by passing Shen Peini’s exceptional beauty—Lin Fei would have been absolutely willing, even if it meant paying out of his own pocket to give away a Mu Group.

Lin Fei had finally escaped the life-and-death bloody mercenary battlefields abroad and returned to Zhonghai, only to face Mu Shanshan, the iceberg CEO whom he couldn’t even touch, which was a real pain for the accustomed libertine, Official Lin.

Right after marrying Mu Shanshan, Lin Fei truly couldn’t wait to divorce her.

However, it wasn’t like that time right after they got married anymore.

Although the CEO Mu still did not allow Lin Fei to share her bed, as Lin Fei moved into the Purple Garden Pavilion, the contact with his CEO wife, Mu Shanshan, had increased, and their marital relationship had greatly improved.

At some point, Mu Shanshan, his CEO wife, had come to occupy a particularly important place in Lin Fei’s heart.

Every move and smile of Mu Shanshan’s could affect Lin Fei’s emotions.

Lin Fei now enjoyed the ambiguous emotional state between him and Mu Shanshan, confident that even if Mu Shanshan was really an iceberg, one day he would completely melt it.

Through habituation, Lin Fei had grown accustomed to having Mu Shanshan by his side.

“Perhaps our Penny can’t compare to Shanshan, and our Shen family’s wealth can’t outdo the Mu Family’s.

But, any smart person should be able to see that our Penny is more suited to the role of a wife than Shanshan.

Shanshan is a career-oriented woman; she won’t give up her career for you.

However, I believe Penny could do that,” Shen Fanghua had definitely prepared well for this conversation, her analysis was quite on point.

In Mu Shanshan’s heart, the Mu Group, which represented her parents’ lifetime of efforts, would definitely take precedence over Lin Fei, her cheap husband.

At least, that’s how it seemed for now.

And Shen Peini, that mature and enchanting beauty, if she were to be Lin Fei’s sole focus, one could imagine that she wouldn’t hesitate to give up everything for Lin Fei.

This wasn’t something Shen Fanghua needed to elaborate on, as Lin Fei could feel it himself.

It had to be said, Mu Shanshan’s inviolable ice queen CEO aura sometimes put a definite psychological pressure on Lin Fei.

However, he never felt any such pressure when with Shen Peini; his only thought was to have Shen Peini beneath him, to cherish her fully.

Still, this was far from sufficient reason for Lin Fei to divorce Mu Shanshan and be with Shen Peini.

“If you insist on staying with Shanshan, you can only choose to become the man behind our CEO Mu.

If you choose our Penny, Penny will become the woman supporting you.

Of course, if Vice Minister Lin has no ambition, you can pretend I never said this.”

After these words from Shen Fanghua, even Lin Fei had to admit that she was a very intelligent and astute woman.

Shen Peini’s transformation into such a bewitching beauty could hardly be disentangled from her aunt Shen Fanghua’s influence.

In theory, Shen Fanghua stood on the moral high ground and did not need to offer Lin Fei such generous terms.

She also didn’t need to analyze the situation for Lin Fei; she could’ve simply commanded, as Penny’s aunt, that Lin Fei leave Shen Peini.

However, Shen Fanghua didn’t take such a stance.

She was acting as an outsider, analyzing the gains and losses for Lin Fei, subtly enticing or, better said, influencing Lin Fei to achieve her desired goal.

This was undoubtedly a highly adept negotiation technique.

If Lin Fei were just an ordinary man, he probably wouldn’t have been able to resist making a choice by now.

Few ordinary men could withstand the allure of Shen Fanghua’s analysis and temptation.

“I’m not too fond of hiding behind a woman.

Likewise, I don’t much like letting a woman hide behind me.” Clearly, Lin Fei was no ordinary man; Shen Fanghua’s analytical temptation had no chance of swaying his resolve.

“It’s impossible for me to divorce, and it’s equally impossible for me to leave Penny.”

“Does the Vice Minister mean to straddle two boats?”

“I simply don’t want to lose either of them.”

Straddling two boats was clearly not something Lin Fei could do.

The reason was quite simple: he wasn’t only straddling two boats.

Within the Mu Group alone, Lin Fei was involved with more than two women.

Apart from Mu Shanshan, his CEO wife, and Shen Peini, the exceptional beauty, Weiwei, the beautiful minister, was also about to be cooked through by Lin Fei.

He was just waiting for the day he became hungry and would swing by Weiwei’s house for a casual meal, and incidentally, he would devour her as well.

“If you weren’t the son-in-law of Mu Hong, I wouldn’t mind resorting to some extreme measures to make you disappear from Zhonghai.” Having spoken kindly but to no avail, Lin Fei’s insistence on not letting go was evidently infuriating Shen Fanghua.

“If you weren’t Penny’s aunt, based on what you just said, you would already be gone.”

In Lin Fei’s lexicon, disappearance was synonymous with—descending to Hell.

Although Shen Fanghua was not aware of Lin Fei’s bloody and terrifying past, the bone-chilling coldness that occasionally flickered in his gaze still gave her quite the shock to her psyche.

After a long while, Shen Fanghua eventually composed herself, her phoenix eyes fixed on Lin Fei for over ten seconds before she spoke, “Although you are as greedy as most men, I can feel that you are serious about my precious niece.

In this regard, I am relieved.”

“I believe Penny is serious about me as well.”

“Do you really think so?”

“As a man so handsome and dashing, graceful and elegant, with too many merits to count, I can’t think of any reason Penny wouldn’t like me.”

“Has the Vice Minister always been so overly confident?”

“I just prefer to speak the plain truth.”

“I, too, prefer to tell the truth.

Vice Minister Lin, would you like to hear it?”

“Can I choose not to listen?”

Lin Fei’s request to not listen was blatantly ignored by Shen Fanghua, who calmly took a sip of tea, her gaze once again landing on Lin Fei thoughtfully, “If I’m not mistaken, my precious niece must see you as a replacement for her long-lost brother.

Because in you, I see many similarities to my deceased nephew.”
