Chapter 221: Worth Celebrating

The next afternoon, Chen Feng found a random reason and left home, heading to the provincial hospital.

He had already made an appointment online and arrived just in time. He randomly chose a doctor. He wasn’t here to see a doctor, but to have a check-up to see if the tumor in his brain had improved.

After a series of examinations, Chen Feng took a quick look at the report and lab results and knew. The lab results and reports were now quite intuitive. Even if you didn’t understand some of the indicators, you could just search on your phone and it would be about the same.

Moreover, this was not the first time Chen Feng had seen such a report. Comparing it with the previous few times, Chen Feng was overjoyed. The reason was that his condition was indeed improving.

First of all, the area of the tumor in his brain was shrinking. Compared to the last check-up, it had shrunk by about 4 millimeters, which was undoubtedly a gratifying change.

Secondly, the values of several key indicators in the lab tests were also decreasing, which was also particularly important.

This made Chen Feng feel the urge to shout to the sky to vent his joy, but this was a hospital, so he certainly couldn’t do that.

To avoid being asked a lot of questions by the doctor, and even being hospitalized for observation, Chen Feng didn’t take these reports to the doctor after he got them. Because it was useless to show them to the doctor.

His condition had improved now, not because of taking medicine, and it had nothing to do with surgery, so it was better to have less trouble.

Chen Feng came out of the hospital in a very happy mood, feeling as if he had been reborn. He felt that he must celebrate properly.

Looking at the time, it was almost 4:30. It was about time to go for dinner.

So, he immediately called Wu Mengting and told the two women to come out for a big meal. In addition, Chen Feng also called Qin Zhen and asked him to come out together. The location was chosen at Fumanlou.

It took Chen Feng about half an hour to drive over from the hospital. When he arrived, Wu Mengting and Sun Xiaorui had already arrived and were waiting in the lobby on the first floor.

Chen Feng first went to get a private room, and then happily led the two women over.

“Brother Feng, you look very happy. Did something good happen?” Sun Xiaorui couldn’t help but ask when she saw the smile on Chen Feng’s face.

Wu Mengting also looked at him curiously.

Chen Feng had already thought of an excuse and said, “A stock I bought last time has risen sharply recently, and I’ve made a lot of money.”

In fact, Chen Feng had bought that Baofeng Technology stock last time, and it had been so long, but he hadn’t even looked at it yet.

“How much did you make?” Wu Mengting asked.

“I won’t say the specific amount. It’s a secret. And don’t tell anyone about this, including Qin Zhen. This kid has been wanting me to help him trade stocks again. This kind of thing can be done once or twice, but not three times. So, it’s enough that you know.”

Sun Xiaorui quickly said, “Don’t worry, we won’t tell.”

After saying this, she even winked at Chen Feng, her face also full of smiles. When Chen Feng saw her looking so happy, he understood. Because she was also trading stocks with Chen Feng.

Chen Feng had promised her a 20% return every month. She had invested 100,000. She had already received 20,000 last month. In another ten days, the second month would be up, and she could continue to receive 20,000. In this way, after five months, she would have her principal back.

Now that she heard Chen Feng say that he had made a lot of money from stock trading, she was naturally happy too.

This matter was a secret between her and Chen Feng. Wu Mengting didn’t even know about it yet. And Chen Feng had no intention of giving Wu Mengting this benefit of giving her money.

It wasn’t that their relationship wasn’t close enough, but that he was afraid that their relationship would become too close because of this.

After waiting in the private room for more than ten minutes, Qin Zhen finally came over. He also brought a person with him, a woman. She was very tall, about 1.7 meters, in her late twenties, with short hair, looking heroic. Qin Zhen introduced her as Wang Xuelin, his ex-girlfriend.

When Qin Zhen introduced her so generously, the three of them, Chen Feng, Wu Mengting, and Sun Xiaorui, were all a little dumbfounded.

And this Wang Xuelin was even more generous, saying, “I’m his ex-girlfriend, and also his current girlfriend. We just got back together two days ago.”

Hearing this, Qin Zhen couldn’t help but be a little anxious and quickly denied, “Xuelin, don’t talk nonsense. When did we get back together?”

It was no wonder that Qin Zhen was like this. Chen Feng and the others all knew that he and Ning Wei had not officially broken up yet.

Chen Wang Xuelin glanced at Qin Zhen and said as if it were a matter of course, “We’ve been living together for the past two days. Doesn’t that count as getting back together?”

The three of them, Chen Feng, Wu Mengting, and Sun Xiaorui, all looked at Qin Zhen.

Qin Zhen’s face was embarrassed, and he couldn’t say anything to refute.

“Alright, sit down.” Wang Xuelin pulled Qin Zhen to sit down together.

Seeing this, the three of them, Chen Feng, Wu Mengting, and Sun Xiaorui, all found it a little funny. It seemed that Qin Zhen had been subdued by this one.

And Chen Feng was a little clearer. He knew that this Wang Xuelin should be the ex-girlfriend who had been entangled with Qin Zhen for several years. The two of them must have a foundation of feelings. At that time, both of them were soldiers. Now it seemed that this one should also have been discharged from the army.

“Everyone is here, so let’s order. The several signature dishes here are very good.”

As the host, Chen Feng of course spoke first. He called the waiter to start ordering, and gestured for Wang Xuelin to order first. She was not polite and ordered five dishes in one go.

Then the others also ordered their own dishes. Chen Feng ordered a case of Carlsberg, and neither Qin Zhen nor Wang Xuelin objected.

Today, Chen Feng was treating to celebrate, so there must be wine. The three women all drank juice.

While waiting for the dishes, Wang Xuelin took the initiative to get to know Wu Mengting and Sun Xiaorui better. She learned that Wu Mengting was Chen Feng’s god-sister, and was also from the same hometown as Qin Zhen and Chen Feng. Sun Xiaorui was from Hui Province.

And Wang Xuelin also briefly introduced herself. She was from Quzhou, Donghai Province. She had been a soldier since college and had been for almost ten years. Now she was discharged from the army and was working in the Civil Affairs Bureau.

Then, the three women all started to talk about their hometowns. Wang Xuelin said that her hometown had a lot of mountains, and her family had a tea garden on a mountain. There were also many local products and snacks. If they had time in the future, they could go to her hometown to play.

When Chen Feng and Qin Zhen saw the three women chatting happily, they couldn’t help but start chatting in their hometown dialect.

Chen Feng asked him, “What’s the situation with you?”

Qin Zhen looked at Wang Xuelin with a sad face. Seeing that she was not paying attention, he said in a low voice, “She suddenly contacted me a few days ago and said that she had also been discharged from the army and was also working in Xiuzhou. She asked me out for a get-together. Of course, I couldn’t refuse, so I went out to meet her. After we met, then… my brain short-circuited, and I don’t know how I ended up going back to her place.”

When Qin Zhen said this, his expression was a little annoyed, but more helpless. It was obvious that he still didn’t quite understand how he had rekindled his old flame with Wang Xuelin.

“You still have feelings for her.” Chen Feng said from a friend’s standpoint, “You have to think carefully, whether you want to rekindle your old flame with this one, or get back together with Ning Wei. This is related to your lifelong event. You’re not young anymore. You should find a suitable woman and live a good life.”

Qin Zhen asked with some distress, “Which one do you think is better?”

Chen Feng rolled his eyes at him and said, “It’s not me who’s going to live with them. You have to feel it and make your own choice.”

Qin Zhen lowered his eyebrows and said nothing.

“What are you talking about?”

Wang Xuelin, who was next to Qin Zhen, turned her attention back to him.

Chen Feng looked at her with a smile and asked, “Did Qin Zhen tell you that he still has a girlfriend now?”

Chen Feng knew that Qin Zhen must have told Wang Xuelin about Ning Wei.

Sure enough, Wang Xuelin nodded calmly and said, “He said her name is Ning Wei, right? They’ve been separated for more than a month. Although they haven’t officially announced their breakup, it’s basically the same as breaking up. If Qin Zhen is too embarrassed to tell her, I can do it for him.”

This woman seems very strong! Chen Feng couldn’t help but mourn for Qin Zhen for a second.

A strong woman is a blessing for some men, such as those with a weak personality. If they have a strong wife, they can complement each other.

But obviously, Qin Zhen was not a man with a weak personality. On the contrary, he was also a bit chauvinistic. If Wang Xuelin was always so strong, the two of them might not be happy together.

However, only the two parties involved knew about the matter between a man and a woman. Outsiders really didn’t know, and it was best not to interfere.

So, Chen Feng had no intention of interfering in their love triangle.

“I’ll solve this matter myself. You don’t have to interfere.”

Qin Zhen was indeed also a strong personality and directly retorted.

Wang Xuelin had known him for many years, so of course she also knew Qin Zhen’s temper. Seeing this, she was not angry, but just nodded calmly and said, “I hope you can solve this matter as soon as possible and cut the Gordian knot. Don’t be indecisive. Since we are back together, we should cherish it and not be disturbed by the outside world.”

Qin Zhen frowned and said nothing.

Wang Xuelin didn’t continue this topic and chatted with the two women, Wu Mengting and Sun Xiaorui, about everything under the sun.

Not long after, the various dishes were served one after another. The five of them ate and talked, and the atmosphere was very good.

Chen Feng and Qin Zhen drank a can of Carlsberg each, and soon they were finished. So, they ordered another case.

This time, neither of them had to drive, so they drank to their heart’s content.

After eating and drinking, everyone came out of Fumanlou and went to the nearest KTV. They sang until almost midnight before they left.

When he got home, Chen Feng was in high spirits and had a game of “mandarin ducks playing in the water” with Sun Xiaorui. Sun Xiaorui was also very cooperative, which made Chen Feng very satisfied.

The next morning, Chen Feng was woken up by Wu Mengting knocking on the door. He looked at the time and saw that it was 6:30 in the morning, which was a bit speechless.

They had only come back home after midnight last night, and then he and Sun Xiaorui had washed in the bathroom for almost an hour, and had only gone to bed after one o’clock.

However, since he was woken up, Chen Feng got up to exercise. After all, his illness had not yet been cured.

It was okay to indulge once in a while, but the more important thing was to maintain the habit of exercising.

He and Wu Mengting started to jog a lap around the neighborhood again, and then they started to walk and chat.

Wu Mengting enjoyed this atmosphere that belonged only to the two of them, so even though she had also slept very late last night, she got up immediately after being woken up by the alarm clock.

“Brother, do you think Qin Zhen will really break up with Ning Wei?” Wu Mengting asked.

Chen Feng shook his head, “I’m not sure about that.”

“Compared to Wang Xuelin and Ning Wei, I prefer Wang Xuelin. At least she’s not pretentious and is very real,” Wu Mengting expressed her opinion.

Chen Feng said matter-of-factly, “Her personality is a bit better than Ning Wei’s, but haven’t you noticed that she’s also very strong? And Qin Zhen is also a relatively strong person, and a bit chauvinistic. The two of them may not be suitable together.”

Wu Mengting pursed her lips and said, “It’s still more suitable than being with Ning Wei. Ning Wei is obviously a bit of a snob who looks down on outsiders. When she first met us, she was very arrogant and looked down on us outsiders. I don’t like people like that.”

Chen Feng spoke up for Ning Wei, “It’s a bit bad that she looks down on us outsiders, but you can’t say that she’s a bad person because of this. After all, Qin Zhen is also an outsider. Why did she fall in love with him? And she even chased him. So, it’s not mainly a problem of being an outsider, but a problem of wealth and ability. Isn’t she very respectful to us now?”

Wu Mengting said in an annoyed tone, “That’s because you deposited tens of millions in the bank where she works. How can she not be respectful to you?”

Chen Feng smiled, “That’s it. So, you don’t have to keep dwelling on her disrespect in the past. As for her and Qin Zhen’s relationship problems, we outsiders can just talk about it behind their backs. We shouldn’t try to interfere.”

Wu Mengting quickly said, “I’m just talking. What am I interfering with?”

The two of them talked as they walked, and then they saw Hong Xiaodan running over from in front of them. After seeing them, she even deliberately stopped and started to walk. When she passed by them, she snorted coldly with a proud and disdainful look, turned her head away, and walked past them with her long legs in a seemingly elegant posture.

“What does she mean by that?”

After Hong Xiaodan had walked a few meters away, Wu Mengting muttered with some dissatisfaction.

Chen Feng smiled nonchalantly, “This woman holds a grudge. Just because I spoke harshly to her last time, she still holds a grudge against me. And I can see that she’s been deliberately waiting for us to appear these past two days, and then deliberately putting on a show for me.”

“Is there any point in her doing this?” Wu Mengting said with dissatisfaction.

“Forget it. Just let her vent her anger.” Chen Feng said generously, “No matter what, we’ve known each other. And I did speak a bit harshly last time. It’s understandable that she’s treating me like this.”

“I think you’re just too easy to talk to with women, which is why your luck with women is so good.”

Wu Mengting said with a sour taste.

Chen Feng smiled and wisely said nothing.

When they returned to the villa, Sun Xiaorui was already up and was making breakfast. Chen Feng went upstairs to take a shower. After coming out of the bathroom, he just happened to receive a call.

It was from Cai Zhixin. He said he had a friend gathering tonight and asked if he was interested in going. He could help introduce a few friends to him, all of whom were famous second- and third-generation figures in Xiuzhou.

After thinking for a while, Chen Feng refused. He was not in business, nor was he an official. He was really not very interested in getting to know these people.

He just wanted to live his own carefree life now, not to be disturbed by the outside world, not to be troubled by worldly affairs. There was really no need to participate in these so-called upper-class social activities.
