Chapter 204: Ning Wei’s Plea for Help

The two of them went out to a food stall for drinks. Not only did Chen Feng treat, but Qin Zhen also caught a wanted criminal.

This was really good luck. For Qin Zhen, it was like the God of Wealth had personally delivered himself to his door.

The next day, Chen Feng learned from him that the wanted criminal he had personally caught was A-level, with a minimum reward of 50,000, and it was tax-free.

Qin Zhen had made a fortune and also earned a merit.

However, although he was doing well in his career and finances, his love life was obviously not so smooth. In the end, he still accepted Chen Feng’s advice and took the initiative to contact Ning Wei, saying that he wanted to separate from her for a while to cool down.

Ning Wei was very dissatisfied with this and had a big fight with Qin Zhen, but Qin Zhen did not relent or soften his heart. The two still separated temporarily.

In fact, they both knew in their hearts that although they had not officially broken up, now that they had proposed to separate for a while, it meant that Qin Zhen already had the intention of breaking up with her.

It would be very difficult to get back together as before after this cooling-off period.

In fact, Chen Feng’s impression of Ning Wei was not good. To put it simply, in the first few meetings, Ning Wei had not given Chen Feng a good impression.

In addition, after hearing Qin Zhen talk about Ning Wei’s spending habits, if it were Chen Feng, he would have broken up with her 100%.

So in his heart, Chen Feng actually supported Qin Zhen in breaking up with her, but as an outsider, it was not good to suggest it so directly.

During lunch the next day, Chen Feng told the two women about Qin Zhen and Ning Wei. The two women were a little surprised to hear it.

After all, not long ago, when they came to Chen Feng’s place as guests, they couldn’t see any signs of conflict between them, let alone a breakup.

Wu Mengting sighed, “You can never be sure about matters of the heart. They seemed like a good match before, but now that you say it, Qin Zhen is planning to break up with her.”

Sun Xiaorui said, “I think Ning Wei went a bit too far, actually wanting him to use the money for a house to buy a car.”

Chen Feng shook his head, “It can only be said that their spending habits are too different. In addition, Ning Wei might think that her parents have already prepared a wedding house for them, so Qin Zhen doesn’t need to buy another house. Instead, he should buy a luxury car to show off. She’s been spoiled since she was a child and is used to spending money lavishly, so she thinks it’s a matter of course.”

Sun Xiaorui said, “If she continues like this, in the future, either she will be very rich herself, or she can only find a rich husband. Qin Zhen is really not suitable for her.”

Chen Feng agreed with this.

As the three of them were talking, the video doorbell at the door rang.

Sun Xiaorui tactfully stood up and went over. Then she saw Ning Wei on the display screen. She didn’t answer immediately, but walked back quickly and told Chen Feng that Ning Wei was here, asking if he wanted to see her.

The person was already at the door, so of course, Chen Feng couldn’t refuse to see her.

It was quite a feat for Ning Wei to get through the security guard of his neighborhood and come directly to his villa.

So, when the doorbell rang again, Chen Feng took the initiative to open the door.

“Chen Feng, I’m sorry to bother you.”

At the door stood a haggard Ning Wei, her eyes red and swollen, obviously having cried.

“It’s okay, come in.”

Chen Feng generously invited her in.

After changing her shoes and just entering the living room, Ning Wei started crying, “Chen Feng, do you know that Qin Zhen wants to break up with me?”

Of course, Chen Feng was surprised and immediately said he didn’t know.

Then, Ning Wei wiped her tears and said, “I know I’m a bit willful, and sometimes I like to shop and spend money recklessly, but I know I was wrong, and I will definitely change in the future. You are his good friend and good brother. Can you help me persuade him?”

Chen Feng complained in his heart, but on the surface, he could only offer some comfort, “I know what specific conflict has occurred between you, but I think as long as you can sincerely repent and let him see your determination, I think he will give you another chance.”

Ning Wei nodded repeatedly with tears in her eyes, “Yes. You’re right. Since last night, I’ve been constantly sending him WeChat messages, calling him, and sending him text messages, but he still hasn’t relented. If I wasn’t afraid of affecting him badly, I would have gone directly to the police station to block him today.”

Hearing this, Chen Feng frowned slightly. Qin Zhen’s work was indeed afraid of women like Ning Wei causing trouble. If she went to the police station or Qin Zhen’s work dormitory to make a scene, it would definitely have a bad influence on Qin Zhen.

“Fortunately, you didn’t do that. Otherwise, your relationship would really be beyond saving. Tell me, why does Qin Zhen want to break up with you? He must have a reason, right?”

Ning Wei stammered, “Actually, we haven’t really broken up yet. He just said that we shouldn’t see or contact each other for a while, so we can both calm down. But I know, he’s doing this because he wants to break up with me.”

Ning Wei was not stupid. She knew that Qin Zhen had the intention of breaking up with her.

“Then that means Qin Zhen is still hesitating. You should definitely not pester him. Otherwise, it will only make him more disgusted. It might even lead to a real breakup in the end.”

When Chen Feng said this, Ning Wei immediately lowered her head and started crying.

Seeing this, Chen Feng had no choice but to wave to Wu Mengting and Sun Xiaorui at the dining table. They quickly came over and comforted her from both sides.

“It’s no use crying now. Let’s sit down and think of a way together.”

“Yes. As long as you try your best to win him back, there will always be a way.”

When it comes to matters of the heart, it’s definitely better for women to talk to each other.

The two women, Sun and Wu, pulled her to the sofa in the living room, gave her tissues to wipe her tears, and comforted her in a low voice.

“Qin Zhen is ignoring me now. What do you think I should do?”

Ning Wei looked at the three of them with a pleading expression.

Chen Feng thought to himself, we’re not that close, are we? What advice are you asking me for?

But Ning Wei was still Qin Zhen’s girlfriend, after all, and they all knew each other. More importantly, he and Qin Zhen were indeed good brothers. It wasn’t wrong for Ning Wei to come to him for help this time.

Chen Feng could only secretly blame Qin Zhen for this.

“Since you’re asking for my opinion, then I’ll be honest. I know Qin Zhen’s personality. He thinks things through carefully before he does anything. He said you should separate for a while and calm down, which means he does have the intention of breaking up with you. But he hasn’t made a final decision yet.

So, if you want to win him back and save this relationship now, crying and making a scene is completely useless. If you really do that, it will only be counterproductive. What you need to do now is to try not to see him or harass him, but you also have to find a way to let him see and feel your feelings for him.”

Ning Wei quickly asked, “Then what exactly should I do?”

Chen Feng gave a very pertinent suggestion, “You can send him text messages in the morning, at noon, and in the evening. Not too many, otherwise it will be harassment. You can think of the specific content yourself, but I suggest you don’t make it too long or too wordy. Just let him feel your concern and longing for him.”

After hearing this, Ning Wei nodded repeatedly with a look of approval and even drew inferences from it, “I can also buy him some things he needs online, and I can go to his dormitory to clean up when he’s at work. Although we can’t meet, he can still feel my care and concern for him at all times.”

A teachable child. Ning Wei was really not a stupid woman.

Chen Feng nodded, “You see, you’ve thought of it yourself. You don’t need me to teach you what to do. The most important thing now is not to harass him, otherwise it will only make him determined to break up with you.”

“Yes. I know. Chen Feng, thank you so much for your advice and comfort. I feel much better. Also… can you help me say some good things to Qin Zhen? If we get married in the future, I will be grateful to you for the rest of my life.”

It seemed that her main purpose in coming here this time was to have Chen Feng say good things for her.

In this situation, could Chen Feng refuse?

“Okay, I’ll talk to him.”

“Thank you.” Ning Wei once again expressed her thanks very solemnly.

Chen Feng then invited her to eat together, but Ning Wei was not in the mood to eat. After sitting for a while longer, she took her leave.

As soon as she left, Wu Mengting shook her head and sighed, “I can see that she really likes Qin Zhen. I just don’t know if your suggestion will be useful to her.”

Sun Xiaorui also said with some emotion, “Although Brother Feng’s suggestion is good, I think it will be very difficult to win him back. Qin Zhen seems to be a very opinionated person. If he makes up his mind, it won’t be so easy to change.”

Wu Mengting retorted, “But he hasn’t made up his mind yet, has he? Maybe there’s still a chance to win him back.”

Sun Xiaorui said with a smile, “Why don’t we make a bet? I think since Qin Zhen has decided to separate from her for a while, it means he has already decided to slowly break up with her. The reason he didn’t announce the breakup immediately is because he’s afraid of provoking her.”

Wu Mengting said with a grin, “What’s the bet?”

“A month of housework. How about that?” Sun Xiaorui looked at her with a smile.

“Alright.” Wu Mengting agreed without hesitation.

Chen Feng reminded Wu Mengting, “From my understanding of Old Qin, he has really made up his mind to break up with her. Although Ning Wei is not bad, her spending habits and personality are not very compatible with Old Qin. Old Qin is a bit of a male chauvinist, and he won’t spoil a delicate girl like Ning Wei. So, even if he softens his heart after a while and they get back together, in the end… I’m still not optimistic about them.”

Hearing this, Sun Xiaorui quickly said to Wu Mengting, “We must set a time limit for the bet. How about half a month? If they don’t get back together in half a month, I win.”

“Half a month is too short. Let’s make it a month. Anyway, we’re going to continue our trip around the country in a couple of days. We’ll be back in about a month, which is just right to see the result. What do you think? Do you dare to continue the bet?”

After a little hesitation, Sun Xiaorui still nodded, “A month it is. Brother Feng, you be the referee. When the time comes, you go and ask for the specific result.”

Chen Feng shook his head, “You two are really bored. You’re actually betting on someone else’s relationship.”

Wu Mengting retorted with a smile, “Aren’t you curious?”

Sun Xiaorui said, “We’re just making a private bet. And the bet is just housework.”

“Alright. I’m too lazy to bother with you.”

After speaking, Chen Feng went to the side to call Qin Zhen and told him about Ning Wei’s visit just now.

Hearing this, Qin Zhen was a little annoyed and said, “Her doing this makes me even more disgusted. It’s my business with her, why is she harassing you? She’s not even that close to you. It seems I really have to break up with her.”

Chen Feng quickly said, “Don’t be like that. She’s just too concerned about you, and she also knows our friendship, which is why she came to me for help. This is understandable. To be honest, overall, her personal and comprehensive conditions are more than enough for you. As for her lavish spending, she also said she would change. I think you should still give her a chance. Of course, this is just a suggestion. The matter between you two, how it goes, you have to decide for yourselves.”

“Yes. I know. I will consider it seriously.”

“Alright then, that’s it.”

The two hung up the phone very crisply.

Then, Chen Feng’s phone rang immediately. Seeing the caller ID, he was stunned for a moment, but in the end, he still answered.

“Hello, who is this?”

Chen Feng asked in a serious tone.

“It’s me. You didn’t save my phone number, did you?” the woman’s voice sounded a little annoyed.

“You are…” Chen Feng still pretended not to recognize her.

“Chen Feng, you’re going too far. We went on a blind date, after all, and it was not long ago. I’m Hong Xiaodan, you can’t possibly not remember, right?”

“Oh, oh, I’m sorry. I reset my phone system before, and my phone book was lost, so…”

“Alright. You can tell that to the ghosts. Do you dislike me that much? You said we’d be friends.”

Hong Xiaodan seemed to be really a little angry and immediately reverted to her tomboy style from when she had a blind date with Chen Feng.

“Why did you call me? Is there something you need?”

Chen Feng wouldn’t spoil her and went straight to the point. If it weren’t for his aunt’s sake, he would have been too lazy to answer this call.

Hong Xiaodan also sensed Chen Feng’s impatient tone. She suppressed her anger and said in a slower tone, “It’s like this. Didn’t you say you were going back to Xiuzhou after the fifteenth? You should be in Xiuzhou now, right? I happen to be in Xiuzhou now too. Why don’t we get together? My treat.”

Chen Feng directly refused, “I’m sorry, I’m not free now. We’ll talk about it when we have a chance in the future.”

“It’s too ungentlemanly of you to refuse so directly,” Hong Xiaodan complained, then said, “I’m going to be making a living here in Xiuzhou in the future. We’re friends, after all. Isn’t it good to meet and look after each other?”

“What kind of living are you going to make in Xiuzhou?” Chen Feng asked with some surprise.

She was a proper rich and beautiful woman, with a family fortune of hundreds of millions waiting for her to inherit.

Hong Xiaodan explained, “Didn’t I open a studio? I opened it in my hometown before, but there were basically no high-quality clients. So, after discussing it with someone, I decided to just open the studio in Xiuzhou. This is also an international metropolis, at the forefront of fashion, with frequent cultural exchanges between the East and West, and also many fashion events. I think it’s more suitable for the development of my studio.”

Hearing this, Chen Feng couldn’t help but complain in his heart that she was aiming too high. She couldn’t even make it as a fashion designer in her hometown, let alone in Xiuzhou.

However, this was obviously none of Chen Feng’s business. He just said “oh” and then said he had something to do and would talk later. Before Hong Xiaodan could respond, he hung up the phone directly.

And when Hong Xiaodan saw Chen Feng hang up on her so hastily, she was so angry she almost smashed her phone.

After a long while, she started the car again with a sullen mood and drove forward. Not long after, the car stopped at a villa area. After passing through the access control, she drove straight in.
