Chapter 134: Meeting the Best Friend

At around four o’clock, Chen Feng set off with Wu Mengting.

As they were leaving, Zhao Xiaolan asked if they would be back tonight. Wu Mengting blushed and didn’t say anything.

Chen Feng, on the other hand, quickly said they would be back and also asked for the key to the house.

After getting into the car, Wu Mengting’s face was still a little hot. She said with a faint smile, “Didn’t you tell your mom that Sister Sun is your girlfriend? Why is she still looking at me like that?”

Chen Feng pouted. He certainly couldn’t say that his own mother hoped even more that she would be her daughter-in-law.

“Don’t overthink it. My mom doesn’t really care about my affairs. She didn’t care much about my ex-wife and me back then.” “Then you didn’t explain it to your mom?” Wu Mengting asked tentatively.

“I explained it. I said you were my friend, but my mom didn’t really believe me. There’s nothing I can do about it. You came over so suddenly without any notice. Of course my mom would have some misunderstandings.”

Wu Mengting said with dissatisfaction, “I already notified you. I said I was coming over to your place to play.”

It was true. At that time, she had said on WeChat that she wanted to find him to play and asked if he had time. Chen Feng had said he didn’t have time.

As a result, she suddenly came over today.

“Who knew you would suddenly come over? I already said I didn’t have time.”

“You really don’t have time?”

“Yes. If you hadn’t come, I would definitely have gone to accompany Yujiao, and also to help at the car wash. I don’t have time.”

“Yujiao? Your new kept mistress?”

“Yes. Her name is Lin Yujiao.”

“Then it’s my fault for disturbing you and your new mistress from being a couple.” Wu Mengting, in the passenger seat, couldn’t help but clench her hands.

Chen Feng, who was driving, didn’t look at her. He said to himself, “You did disturb me a little. But who made you my friend? Since you’re here, I certainly can’t choose a woman over a friend. I definitely have to accompany you well.”

“Isn’t it sister? How did it become friend?” Wu Mengting expressed her dissatisfaction.

“It’s a friend and also a sister, a god-sister.”

“God-sister? Didn’t you say own sister?” Wu Mengting deliberately argued.

Chen Feng wasn’t angry. He turned his head to look at her and said with a smile, “I said I would treat you like my own sister, but not a real own sister. Otherwise, wouldn’t we be committing incest?”

Wu Mengting said coquettishly with some shyness, “What nonsense are you talking about? We didn’t… we didn’t do anything before.”

Chen Feng smiled and said, “We didn’t do anything? We just held hands and hugged. We didn’t even kiss. We’re very pure.”

Hearing Chen Feng say this, Wu Mengting immediately felt that her short-lived relationship with Chen Feng was a failure. But she really couldn’t be blamed for this. If anyone was to blame, it could only be Chen Feng.

She was a woman and a virgin. At that time, she couldn’t take the initiative to do anything intimate with Chen Feng.

In this aspect, the man had to take the initiative. But Chen Feng didn’t take the initiative at that time. He didn’t even kiss her. This was obviously planned by him from the beginning. He didn’t want to be responsible for her.

Thinking about it now, Chen Feng had a premeditated plan so that he could find a reason to break up with her in the future, so that he wouldn’t leave any loose ends. After all, they hadn’t even kissed. She naturally couldn’t be said to have suffered any loss.

After Chen Feng broke up with her and turned her into a sister, he was at ease.

What a scheming boy!
The more Wu Mengting thought about it, the more she felt that this was possible. She couldn’t help but turn her head and glare at Chen Feng, snorting coldly with dissatisfaction.

Chen Feng was baffled by her snort, but he didn’t care. He changed the subject and asked, “What’s the name of this classmate of yours? What does she do now?”

“Her name is Xu Shujing. She works at your county’s TV station now. It’s a public institution. Her husband is a businessman. I think he has a shoe factory. He’s worth at least a few million.”

“I remember you said last time that her husband is from Feiyun City. His shoe factory should also be in Feiyun City. And she works at our county’s TV station. Aren’t the couple living in two different places?”

“Of course not,” Wu Mengting explained. “Feiyun City borders your county. It only takes a few minutes to get to their city from the county town on the highway. It’s only a ten-minute drive on the old national highway. Her husband goes to the factory to work during the day and comes back to Linnan County at night.

They now live in your county town, in a small high-rise in Century Garden, more than 120 square meters. Her husband bought it with his own money. It’s very close to where she works. It only takes a few minutes to walk there. Her husband dotes on her very much. He even moved to your county for her.”

Hearing this, Chen Feng couldn’t help but nod in agreement, “It seems that your classmate’s husband loves her very much. An ordinary man really couldn’t do it. It’s like he’s marrying into her family.”

“So, all of us classmates are very envious of her. She found her true love. It’s really rare to have such a husband who dotes on her and loves her. He can also cook. Whenever her husband has time, he cooks delicious food for her at home. She complained to me that she has gained a few pounds.”

“Isn’t she deliberately showing off her affection to you?”

“Yes. Although I’m very envious of her, sometimes I can’t stand her. She shows off her affection on her Moments every day, posting all kinds of delicious food her husband makes for her. I set her Moments to ‘don’t see her’ a few days ago.”

Talking about this female classmate of hers, Wu Mengting became much calmer, and her mood seemed to have improved. They talked and laughed, and the atmosphere in the car became harmonious.

---

Ten minutes later, they arrived at the meeting place, Baida Plaza, according to the map navigation.

The two sides met at the south entrance.

Xu Shujing and her husband arrived first. After seeing Wu Mengting, Xu Shujing was very happy and rushed over to hug Wu Mengting. The two women jumped up and down. It seemed that their relationship was really good.

Xu Shujing was not very beautiful, but she was above average. Especially her figure was very good. She also had baby fat on her face, which made her look very friendly.

Xu Shujing’s husband was named Yu Huazhang. He looked to be about the same age as Chen Feng, also in his thirties. He wore glasses, was not very tall, and his hairline was a bit high. His appearance could only be said to be passable. As Wu Mengting’s classmate, Xu Shujing was of course only twenty-three or twenty-four years old.

In this way, Yu Huazhang was an old cow eating young grass, several years older than his wife. No wonder he doted on his wife so much.

The two women were chatting happily. Yu Huazhang took the initiative to come over and offer Chen Feng a cigarette. It was a Huazi. After Chen Feng said he didn’t smoke, he also put away the Huazi and said with a smile, “I’ve quit too. But I’m a businessman, so I’m used to carrying cigarettes with me when I’m out.”

Chen Feng smiled and said, “This is a good habit. But it must be hard for you to resist smoking, right?”

Yu Huazhang smiled and nodded, “Of course. At the beginning, I really couldn’t stand it. I would still smoke secretly. Later, Shujing found out. I knelt on the washboard. After kneeling a few times, I had no choice but to quit.”

Chen Feng sincerely gave him a thumbs up. Quitting smoking was really hard. Even though he hadn’t experienced it himself, he knew it from seeing so many smokers in the country.

“Brother, how did you quit?” Yu Huazhang easily started the topic.

Chen Feng said, “I smoked for a while in junior high school. Later, my teacher found out and called my parents. Then I stopped smoking.”

Yu Huazhang smiled, “Then you should thank that teacher.”

“Yes. She was my homeroom teacher, a very responsible teacher. It’s a pity that we’ve lost contact now.”

…

The two of them chatted casually for a while, then told each other their names, and they were formally acquainted.

The two women finally finished their conversation. They came over arm in arm. Xu Shujing directly extended her hand to Chen Feng and said, “Hello, my name is Xu Shujing. I’m very happy to meet you, handsome guy.”

Xu Shujing’s opening was very formal.

Chen Feng had to shake her hand lightly and introduce himself, “Hello, my name is Chen Feng. I’m also very happy to meet you.”

Wu Mengting, who was beside him, couldn’t help but chuckle. Xu Shujing also covered her mouth and laughed.

The two men were laughed at by them and looked at each other, not knowing what they were laughing at.
“Alright. Just kidding. I heard from Mengting that you’re usually a very serious person, so I introduced myself to you so seriously.”

Only then did Chen Feng understand what they were laughing at.

“Let’s go. Let’s go shopping first, and then we’ll go to eat.”

Xu Shujing waved her hand, then linked her arm with Wu Mengting’s and walked into the mall.

The two men quickly followed.

Next, the two of them became purely followers. The two women went in and out of various shops, especially a few brand-name stores to try on clothes. They changed one set after another, which made the two men wait for a long time.

As a result, of course, they didn’t buy a single piece. The women’s clothing stores here were all relatively high-end. A piece of clothing cost thousands of yuan, and it was rare to see one for a few hundred.

After shopping for more than an hour, it was already dark. The two women ended their shopping trip with some reluctance. Xu Shujing finally bought a pair of jeans, while Wu Mengting bought two scarves, which were a couple’s style. One for herself, and the other for Chen Feng, of course.

In front of Xu Shujing and her husband, Chen Feng couldn’t refuse and could only accept it. This made Wu Mengting very satisfied, and her smile obviously increased when she looked at Chen Feng.

Next was to go to eat. Xu Shujing and her husband had already booked a place for them. They went to a nearby five-star hotel for a buffet. It wasn’t very expensive, 158 yuan per person. There were steaks and salmon, and you could eat as much as you wanted.

It was only a five or six minute drive.

After parking the car and walking into the hotel, they took the elevator to the buffet floor.

The environment inside was indeed very good. Mainly because there weren’t many people, but there was a lot of food. There was also a row of small windows with service staff in white aprons standing inside, looking clean, tidy, and very professional.

The four of them took their trays to get the food they liked. After a round, Chen Feng got a lot of food.

Just as he was about to find a seat, he saw someone behind him calling him, “Chen Feng!”

Chen Feng turned his head and saw Fang Xiaoyue looking at him with a smile. Beside her stood a man with glasses, thin and tall, in his thirties, with a handsome appearance. It was just that his expression was a bit cold, giving people a feeling of keeping strangers away.

“What a coincidence! I actually met you here.” Fang Xiaoyue looked very happy.

“It is quite a coincidence,” Chen Feng smiled and nodded.

“Did you come alone?” Fang Xiaoyue asked.

Just as Chen Feng was about to speak, Wu Mengting walked over and answered, “We’re together.”

Fang Xiaoyue was stunned when she saw Wu Mengting. A trace of unnaturalness flashed across her face, but she quickly concealed it. She smiled and looked at Chen Feng, asking, “Is this your new girlfriend?”

Before Chen Feng could say anything, Wu Mengting took the initiative to smile and introduce herself, “Hello, my name is Wu Mengting. May I ask your name?”

Wu Mengting suspected that she was Lin Yujiao, but she felt that it probably wasn’t. Because Fang Xiaoyue was not very beautiful, at least a notch lower than her.

Fang Xiaoyue reached out and shook her hand, then said, “My name is Fang Xiaoyue. I’m Chen Feng’s old classmate.”

Hearing this, Wu Mengting was immediately relieved and said “oh.”

At this time, the man beside her, staring straight at Wu Mengting, also extended his hand and said, “Hello, my name is Wang Kangjian.”

When Wu Mengting was stunned for a moment, Chen Feng reached out and shook his hand, saying with a smile, “Hello. You’re not Fang Xiaoyue’s boyfriend, are you?”

Wang Kangjian’s face stiffened. He pulled his hand back with force and looked at Chen Feng with some hostility.

Fang Xiaoyue quickly said, “No. We just met, well, we’ve only known each other for a few days.”

Hearing this, Chen Feng understood. They had just started dating.

It was just that this Wang Kangjian didn’t look like a good person. He had just met Wu Mengting and was already trying to dig a corner.

“Oh, I see,” Chen Feng nodded and changed the subject. “We have two other people with us, so we won’t disturb you.”

After saying that, Chen Feng turned and left. Wu Mengting quickly followed, leading Chen Feng to the seat they had already taken.

---

“Wang Kangjian, what do you mean by that?”

As soon as Chen Feng left, Fang Xiaoyue’s whole face darkened. She looked at Wang Kangjian beside her with great dissatisfaction. He had taken the initiative to shake hands with the unfamiliar Wu Mengting in front of her. This not only slapped Chen Feng’s face, but also her face.

In China, it was rare for a man and a woman who were complete strangers to shake hands upon first meeting, especially in a small county town like theirs, where there was no such etiquette.

Of course, unless there was a familiar intermediary that both parties knew, for example, Chen Feng and Xu Shujing had shaken hands before because they both knew Wu Mengting and had a close relationship. And it was Xu Shujing who had taken the initiative to shake hands with Chen Feng, which was another matter.

It always made people feel strange and was a rude behavior for a man to take the initiative to shake hands with a woman upon first meeting in China.

Wang Kangjian’s face remained unchanged, still cold. He said in an indifferent tone, “Whatever you think it means, it means.”

Fang Xiaoyue’s face immediately turned ashen. She said in a low and cold voice, “We’re done. Don’t come looking for me again.”

Wang Kangjian’s lips curled into a cold smile. He said unceremoniously, “Do you think I want to find you? Didn’t you take the initiative to ask me out this time?”

After saying that, Wang Kangjian turned and left.

His behavior made Fang Xiaoyue so angry that her blood vessels almost burst. She stood there for a good while before she recovered.

---

Not long after Wu Mengting led Chen Feng to the table, Xu Shujing and her husband also came over with their trays. The four of them sat down and started eating. They ate and talked, talked and laughed. The atmosphere was very harmonious.

A few minutes later, Fang Xiaoyue also came over with her tray and asked Chen Feng with a smile, “Do you mind if I join you?”

Chen Feng thought to himself, I mind, but he couldn’t refuse. He looked at Xu Shujing and her husband and said, “She’s my classmate, Fang Xiaoyue. Do you mind if she joins us?”

Of course, the couple didn’t mind.

“Thank you.”

After Fang Xiaoyue sat down, she took the initiative to chat with Xu Shujing and her husband, and they quickly became familiar with each other.

“What about your male companion?” Chen Feng asked curiously when he had a moment.

Hearing this, Fang Xiaoyue’s face was a little embarrassed. She said, “He left. We’ve only known each other for a few days. His attitude is very bad. I’m too lazy to have any more contact with him.”

Chen Feng nodded and didn’t ask any more questions.

The three women quickly started chatting enthusiastically. After Xu Shujing and Fang Xiaoyue learned about each other’s work, their attitudes immediately became closer. After all, they were both in the system, and they were both from the county town. They still had a lot in common.

Chen Feng, on the other hand, just ate. After all, it was a buffet. He always felt like he was losing out if he didn’t eat enough to get his money’s worth.

Wu Mengting didn’t control his diet this time. She didn’t control her own either and ate a lot.

By the time the five of them finished eating and came out of the hotel, almost two hours had passed.

Then, they saw Wang Kangjian coming out of a car across the road. He had just shouted “Wait a minute” at them. As he was about to run across the road, he was hit by a speeding black car and sent flying.

This scene made the five people on Chen Feng’s side all stand there in a daze.
