Chapter 40
(translated by peanuts and edited by lidge)
The next afternoon, Shan Shan tily pushes open Feng Teng’s office door.
“Shan Shan, co over here.” Feng Teng waves his hand and introduces the old man sitting on the couch to her, “This is Uncle Zhang, the city’s most famous lawyer. Uncle Zhang, this is Shan Shan.”
Shan Shan obediently greets him: “Uncle Zhang, how are you?”
“Hello, young lady. Quite good, quite good.” The old man smiles and sizes her up for a mont. His face ‘reveals’ a bit of sorrow, “In the blink of an eye, I have been a lawyer for your family for several decades. Finally, you are getting married, but such a pity that your grandfather will not be able to see it.”
Feng Teng says: “Grandpa’s death anniversary will be in a few days so I will bring her to visit him.”
Uncle Zhang nods his head and smiles again, “After all, it is a happy occasion. I, this old man, has dampened the spirit. Co on, young lady, let’s get down to business.”
Then, he pushes the docunts in front of him on the table before Shan Shan.
Shan Shan notices the docunts piled up like a little hill. Uh, this can’t all be the prenuptial agreent, right? Shan Shan had thought there will only be a few sheets of paper, but how co there are so many?
When Uncle Zhang starts to explain, Shan Shan only realises this, in large part, is actually a gift agreent. There are real estates, shop lots, jewelries, as well as shares, stock rights, funds, etc. After a long ti, Uncle Zhang finishes talking.
“Young lady ah, these are all you will get after you marry our Mr. Feng.”
Feng Teng is sowhat dissatisfied with what Uncle Zhang said and coughs gently once.
Mr. Lawyer, who watched him grow up since young, looks at him and smilingly continues: “Oh, these are all the fixed assets you can get. Of course, there is also our movable asset, Mr. Feng.”
“Uh, that, Uncle Zhang, I seem to rember shares and funds are regarded as chattels, right?” Shan Shan queries in a weak voice. It is because this Mr. Lawyer looks too authoritative and professional, Shan Shan starts to doubt her own knowledge in this field.
The old man very calmly explains: “Shares and funds in the traditional sense are indeed considered chattels, but this is a special case. These chattels compared with Mr. Feng look like fixed properties.”
Shan Shan is confused, “Why?”
“Because in a certain sense, our Mr. Feng owns all of the shares, funds and stock rights. Being born into money, it is only natural that he is more liquid.” Uncle Zhang starts to joke and with a hidden intention says, “Young lady ah, run him well.”
Uncle Zhang’s double entendre humor makes Shan Shan unable to restrain a smile. Feng Teng’s mouth also slightly curves up.
Uncle Zhang goes on to say: “I have only said about these briefly so you still need to look at them yourself slowly. If there are any questions, you can ask .”
Such a thick pile, she really needs to take so ti to read slowly. Shan Shan picks up the main agreent on top and starts reading. In fact, Feng Teng has already more or less told her about the contents of the main agreent yesterday. Mainly, it is to separate the conglorate operations and her interests. However, he did not ntion about the gift agreent at all yesterday……
When the lawyer talked about it just now, she was a bit bewildered. She does not quite understand what Feng Teng actually have given her. Until now, she sees them in black and white print, she only starts to understand.
Thus, she becos a bit scared.
Shan Shan briefly flips through the agreent once, takes out a few paper from the gift agreent below and looks at Feng Teng, “I have no objection with the agreent except for the gift agreent, can I only sign these few papers?”
Uncle Zhang is sowhat surprised. Feng Teng looks at Xue Shan Shan, keeps quiet and turns to look at Mr. Lawyer, “Uncle Zhang, I want to have a few words with Shan Shan alone.”
The old lawyer stands up and smiles, “Young couple, go and talk it over nicely. This old man has an urge to smoke so I will go out to smoke.”
Feng Teng sits on the couch and flips through the several papers she pulled out, “Co closer a bit.”
Shan Shan moves a little closer at once.
“Are you angry that I ask you to sign these agreents?”
Why will I be angry! The misunderstanding is cleared now. Shan Shan quickly shakes her head to give him assurance: “Absolutely not.”
“Then, why don’t you sign?”
Shan Shan mumbles: “I feel this is a little too much. You only ntioned about the main agreent yesterday but did not say anything about others.”
Feng Teng puts the docunts in his hands on the table, “The main agreent was drawn together when Feng Yue got married by grandpa. The purpose is to protect the conglorate so it will not be affected in any circumstances. The gift agreent is my personal assets.”
Shan Shan states her stand: “I have no objection with the main agreent.”
“Shan Shan, when the agreent is needed to solve anything, then it is almost already reached the worst situation. That is the use of the prenuptial agreent under such circumstances. Since the main agreent will protect the interests of the conglorate, I will need to protect your interests. These gifts are to let you at least obtain these things under the worst scenario.”
He also includes himself in the calculation so is he guarding against himself? Shan Shan feels a little uncomfortable when she fully understands what was said, “When you prepared these agreents, did you put yourself as the opposition? Are you afraid you will mistreat in the future ah?”
“No.” Feng Teng sighs, “I can guarantee these docunts basically are waste papers, but Shan Shan, the years are too long so I hope you have, at the very least, these things in whatever circumstances to give you assurance.”
Shan Shan’s face flushes red a bit, but after thinking for a mont, she still insists: “It is not that I don‘t want everything, I just want a little less.”
Feng Teng is quiet. Xue Shan Shan feels a little uneasy by his gaze, is she too stubborn? However, the value of these things is really beyond her expectations.
After Big Boss ntioned this last night, she is already ntally prepared, perhaps she will sign a harsh prenuptial agreent.
She did not find it difficult to accept.
She has never felt Feng Teng is a harsh and stingy man so she does not think Feng Teng will treat her harshly or miserly. Rather, from the Feng Teng she understands a little, he will probably use his rational judgnt to make the best arrangents.
Even if people love each other, it does not an the other person’s things belong to you. Why should the things his family has worked hard and acquired for several generations for no reason be given to her to enjoy ah? She knows such thinking is very silly and maybe ridiculed as naive by a lot of people, but by doing this, she is able to breathe easier.
As a person who is going to be married soon, she actually has been seriously contemplating about life at this mont = =
Thus, she feels, being husband and wife is probably the sa as being friends. The most important thing is equality. This kind of equality is not about positions ah, earnings ah, etc., but rather mutual sharing.
Whatever she gives him and he gives her, it must be equal as only like this can the relationship last. If a person is giving far more than the other, after a long ti, it will cause an imbalance psychologically.
After that, if a person gives the other person a lot of money, will he think he has given enough so he can give a little less love?
If like this, it might be better to reverse the order.
Of course, she is not being noble and virtuous la. If there is any conflict with Boss after their marriage, she is also not lacking in money so what is the point of having so much money?
Well, all these thoughts are from her imagination running wild = =
Feng Teng is still waiting for her explanation. Shan Shan leans over and rests her head on his shoulder, “Actually, I want to ask you one thing.”
“What?”
“If it is not mistaken that I am pregnant, will you still ask to marry you?”
“…… Xue Shan Shan.”
“Ah?”
“Why did we not go back to the family residence to stay recently?”
“Because the third floor is being renovated, ah.”
“Why is it being renovated?”
“Uh ……”
In a split second, Shan Shan’s heart has never felt so fulfilled like this mont, not even the last ti when he said, “Let’s get married.” At that ti, everything had happened in confusion, it was more like an ergency asure. Instead, now when he is not in the least romantic with rhetorical questions, it feels more like a marriage proposal.
While still leaning against his body, Shan Shan says: “You see, you help to think of everything, ah. Thus, if there is you, then I will have everything ah. But without you, those things are of no use to .”
The room is extrely quiet.
“Forget it.”
Feng Teng abruptly puts out his hand and throws the pile of drafted docunts on the table all into the wastepaper basket.
What is going on?
Shan Shan feels baffled and hears Feng Teng says. “Suddenly, I feel if I need a prenuptial agreent before marrying soone like you, it is …… an insult to my intelligence.”
“……”
Shan Shan is speechless, President, are you currently insulting my intelligence?
“Shan Shan, if you do not sign these docunts, you may not get anything at all in the future.”
“……” Shan Shan: “= = I seem to feel a little regret.”
Feng Teng laughs, “It is too late. You only have now.”
Shan Shan turns her head and boldly kisses his lip once. Feng Teng smiles, turns a hand over, hugs her tightly and returns her kiss deeply.
A minute later, Shan Shan suddenly wakes up from the deep kiss and pushes him away, “Wait a minute, what do you an when you just said I will not be getting anything?! I still want the few things on the papers I took out ah!!! You cannot take back everything!!!”
