Chapter 136: Lin Yujiao’s Inferiority

After breakfast, the two of them rested for a while. It was mainly Wu Mengting who was getting close to Zhao Xiaolan. Her attitude was intimate, and she looked like she was having a great conversation, which made Chen Feng stunned.

He had never realized before that Wu Mengting was so talkative and so good at pleasing people.

His mother, Zhao Xiaolan, was so pleased by Wu Mengting’s flattery that she kept smiling and laughing from time to time. It seemed that she was very happy to be coaxed by her.

It wasn’t until Chen Feng felt that he had rested enough and was going for a run that Wu Mengting went back to her room to change into a set of sportswear and went out with Chen Feng.

The two of them didn’t start running immediately. Instead, they took a walk first. After all, it had only been about ten minutes since they had breakfast.

“Mengting, you’re so nice to my mom. Are you still not giving up on me? You know I’m your brother now, and you’re my sister.”

After walking for a while and there was no one around, Chen Feng asked directly. He didn’t want Wu Mengting to pester him, and even planned to go through his family, especially his mother.

Chen Feng was undoubtedly a very filial son. If his mother put pressure on him, he would really have a hard time resisting.

“Yes. I’ve never given up.”

Wu Mengting admitted it very frankly.

This made Chen Feng not know how to respond. After a long silence, Chen Feng said with some helplessness, “Didn’t I tell you before? We’re brother and sister.”

Wu Mengting said with a smile, “But you also said that we might develop into a couple in the future. We’re just brother and sister for now.”

Fine! In order to continue to be friends with her and let her continue to be his cook, he had used this excuse to stabilize her.

Now it seemed that she had really taken it seriously.

He could only blame his damn irresistible charm! How could he have made her so infatuated that she couldn’t extricate herself?
Chen Feng could only say very sincerely, “I’m very fickle. You’ve seen it. I’ve already kept three mistresses now. And I’m several years older than you, and I have a terminal illness. Your conditions are so good. There’s really no need to hang yourself on this one tree of mine.”

“I said before, I believe in fate. I think our fate is destined by heaven. I can understand that you can’t accept me now. I also know that the reason you reject me is for my own good, for fear of delaying me.

As for your fickleness now, I can also understand. You think you don’t have long to live, so you have to enjoy yourself in time. At first, I was very angry and disappointed with you like this, but later I thought about it and figured it out. In your situation, many people would do the same. So, I’m willing to wait for you.”

Wu Mengting’s understanding and tolerance made Chen Feng feel very bad. He couldn’t help but raise his voice and say, “
I could die at any time. I really don’t understand why you’re still so persistent? If you’re after my money, then you’re destined to be disappointed. I’ve already found a lawyer to make a will. After I die, all my inheritance will go to my parents. And I’ve already decided not to get married.”

These words were very unpleasant. Wu Mengting took a deep breath to suppress the anger in her heart and said very seriously, “Whether you believe it or not, I don’t want to be with you for your money. If it was really for money, I wouldn’t have looked for you. I could have found other richer and younger men. You’re not the only rich person in this world. Besides, how much money can you have? A few hundred million?”

Of course, he didn’t have a few hundred million. Chen Feng was immediately hit by her words.

The matter was indeed so. If Wu Mengting really wanted to find a rich man, there were definitely richer and younger ones than Chen Feng. With her conditions, it was not very difficult to find one.

Chen Feng said with a bitter smile, “With my physical condition, you probably don’t have to wait too long.”

“Don’t say such things, okay?” Wu Mengting’s tone became low. “No matter what, you’re still fine now. That’s enough. I don’t ask you to accept me now. Just let me be by your side often.”

Chen Feng sighed silently in his heart and didn’t say anything more. He began to silently speed up and run.

Wu Mengting didn’t say anything more and followed closely behind him.

The two of them started running along Chen Feng’s running route from the past few days. The speed was not very fast, and Wu Mengting could keep up.

Ten minutes later, they saw Lin Yujiao at the outdoor fitness equipment, which was somewhat unexpected but not surprising.

Chen Feng had originally thought it wouldn’t be such a coincidence. After all, he had deliberately delayed coming out for at least ten minutes compared to the previous two days. But it was just such a coincidence that they met.

For the two women, Lin Yujiao and Wu Mengting, it was really a surprise to meet here. If they had known they would meet, they would have definitely dressed up properly, instead of now, where they were both wearing loose sportswear and their hair was tied up.

“What a coincidence. Let me introduce you. This is Wu Mengting, whom I told you about. This is Lin Yujiao.”

Chen Feng introduced the two of them very calmly.

Lin Yujiao originally didn’t believe that Wu Mengting would be more beautiful than her, but now that she saw her in person, she had to believe it. She was indeed younger and more beautiful than her, and she was also highly educated.

She, a divorced woman with a junior high school education, really couldn’t compare at all. She couldn’t help but feel even more inferior in her heart.

Of course, Wu Mengting didn’t have a good impression of Lin Yujiao in her heart, but she also had to admit that Lin Yujiao was beautiful and had a good figure, especially her full chest, which made her a little jealous.

“Hello,” in the end, Wu Mengting was the first to greet her. No matter what, she was now Chen Feng’s new kept mistress. Even if she didn’t look at the monk’s face, she had to look at the Buddha’s face. Basic courtesy was still necessary.

The somewhat dazed Lin Yujiao then came back to her senses. A smile appeared on her face, “Hello, you’re so beautiful.”

“Thank you,” Wu Mengting also smiled and changed the subject. “We plan to go to Haiwan Town to play in the afternoon. Brother Feng has already told you, right? We’ll have to trouble you to be our guide.”

“He told me. It’s no trouble. Haiwan Town is my hometown, but I haven’t had a good time there for many years. This time, I can just go and play with you. I heard that they just built a seaside boardwalk there. It should be nice. We can go and see it in the afternoon.”

“A seaside boardwalk?” Of course, Wu Mengting was also a playful person. She said happily, “Then let’s have a good time in the afternoon.”

“Yes, besides the seaside boardwalk, there’s also a beach.”

Lin Yujiao introduced a few fun spots in Haiwan Town, which made Wu Mengting very interested. So, the two women started chatting about the scenery and food. The picture was quite harmonious.

Chen Feng, on the other hand, didn’t say much. He was focused on exercising on several exercise machines. After more than ten minutes, he called them to leave.

The two women walked and talked, and they actually chatted quite enthusiastically, which surprised Chen Feng a little.

However, thinking that Sun Xiaorui and Wu Mengting were now like “sisters in love,” he was relieved.

They separated at the crossroads. Chen Feng took Wu Mengting home, while Lin Yujiao went back to her rented house, which was behind the shop. She lived alone, and the room was not big.

Lin Yujiao originally didn’t have much feeling, but now seeing Chen Feng and Wu Mengting walking side by side and going home together, she couldn’t help but feel a little sour in her heart.

After all, she was now a somewhat disgraceful mistress. It was impossible for Chen Feng to take the initiative to take her home to see his family.

And Wu Mengting was Chen Feng’s god-sister, but she was brought home by him openly and lived in his house.

In comparison, she seemed very failed, as if she was inferior.
She could only think of the thirty thousand yuan that Chen Feng had transferred to her last night. Not counting the seven thousand he had given her before, Chen Feng had given her a total of thirty-seven thousand. And this was only the first month. In the following months, Chen Feng said he would transfer thirty thousand to her every month.

Such a large sum was quite rare.

After all, it was three hundred and sixty thousand a year, which was more than she earned from running her clothing store.

So, thinking of the real money Chen Feng had given her, she shouldn’t have any dissatisfaction, but she still felt uncomfortable in her heart.

The reason was that Wu Mengting was open and aboveboard with Chen Feng, while she, not to mention being secretive with Chen Feng, could not be public.

In addition, Wu Mengting’s various conditions crushed her, which made her unable to help but feel a little inferior and self-pitying.

After watching Chen Feng and Wu Mengting walk home, Lin Yujiao turned around and went back to her rented place with that inexplicable depression.

---

When the two of them got home, their father was watching the shop in the small shop, and their mother was already busy in the kitchen.

Wu Mengting quickly went over to help, but was sent away by Zhao Xiaolan to take a shower first.

The lunch was very sumptuous, almost like the New Year. The table was full of dishes, twelve of them, three of which were cooked by Wu Mengting.

Except for the two nieces who were in kindergarten, the whole family was there for lunch. Chen Rui also came back from the car beauty shop specially.

Everyone ate very happily. Sister-in-law Li Guihong sat next to Wu Mengting today and took the initiative to ask her many questions, about her family, parents, and so on.

Wu Mengting was not impatient at all. She frankly told her family situation, including her parents’ work and where she lived in the city.

Her frank expression and natural attitude won her the unanimous praise of the Chen family.

And the three dishes she cooked also made everyone praise her endlessly. In fact, her cooking was a little better than Zhao Xiaolan’s.

Of course, Chen Feng had known this for a long time. Otherwise, Chen Feng would not have been so reluctant to let Wu Mengting go and not want to break off relations with her.

For a terminally ill patient who was living on borrowed time, the desire for food was obviously very important. He was about to die. If he didn’t eat well, drink well, and play well, then he would have come to this world in vain.

The meal lasted for more than an hour. Wu Mengting helped to clear the table and took the initiative to wash the dishes, but was firmly refused by Zhao Xiaolan.

Seeing this, Wu Mengting had to give up, but she still stayed by Zhao Xiaolan’s side to talk. They chatted for a good while, and it wasn’t until Zhao Xiaolan finished washing the dishes that they stopped.

Through this meal, Wu Mengting could be said to have won the unanimous favor and support of Chen Feng’s family.

This made Chen Feng feel a little helpless in his heart, but he didn’t care much. Because he was going to Xiuzhou after the New Year, and he didn’t know how long he could live after that. Of course, he didn’t have to worry about his mother forcing him to marry Wu Mengting.

---

At around two o’clock in the afternoon, Chen Feng and Wu Mengting went out to meet Lin Yujiao and drove to Haiwan Town.

The first stop was the seaside boardwalk. The scenery here was really good. Even in winter, the sea breeze was a bit strong, but there were still many tourists.

The boardwalk snaked along the seaside cliffs, nearly two kilometers long. The investment was quite large.

The three of them walked to the end of the boardwalk. They walked and stopped, took pictures, and so on. By the time they walked back, it was already dark.

Today’s journey could only be temporarily ended. However, they could continue to play in Haiwan Town tomorrow. Lin Yujiao said she could take them to the beach to eat barbecue and seafood.

When they got home, it was about seven-thirty. Wu Mengting finally met Xiaoyu and Xiaoxue. She quickly took out the dolls she had bought at the supermarket on the way back and immediately won their favor.

After playing with them for a while, the two little girls were already affectionately calling her sister.

Chen Feng said with a smile, “You should call her auntie.”

Xiaoyu said, “No, no. My mom said that beautiful aunties should be called sisters.”

This made everyone laugh. Wu Mengting was even happier and hugged her and kissed her.

---

While it was lively, Chen Feng’s phone rang. He looked at the number and it was actually Fang Xiaoyue. Although Chen Feng was a little surprised, he still answered it.

“Xiaoyue, what’s the matter?” Chen Feng asked casually as he walked out the door. It was too lively inside.

“Chen Feng, I’m in trouble this time,” Fang Xiaoyue said in a low voice. “Wang Kangjian’s family is very angry with me now. They think I’m the one who caused him to be hit by a car. I think they will retaliate against me. What do you think I should do?”

Chen Feng was speechless. He thought to himself, Why are you asking me this? We’re classmates, that’s right, but we’re not that close, are we? Besides, what does this have to do with me? Why are you dragging me into this?
But thinking was one thing, he certainly couldn’t say it. After hesitating for a moment, Chen Feng still comforted her, “I think they’re just angry for a while. After they calm down, they probably won’t blame you. After all, we all know that this has nothing to do with you.”

“But I was the one who asked Wang Kangjian out last night… and I was the one who kept inviting him by phone and WeChat. He didn’t want to come at first… who knew this would happen… Wang Kangjian’s family is very rich. I really don’t know what to do? Chen Feng, can you help me think of a way?”

Fang Xiaoyue had obviously lost her composure and was like a desperate person seeking any help.

After being speechless for a good while, Chen Feng finally said, “What can I do? I don’t know that Wang Kangjian, let alone his family.”

“His father is Wang Guowei, the chairman of Linnan Leather. You should have heard of him.”

Chen Feng was stunned for a moment, then said with sudden realization, “I’ve heard of Linnan Leather. No wonder that guy Wang Kangjian is so arrogant.”

Fang Xiaoyue said with a bitter smile, “Chen Feng, help me think of a way. I’ve thought about it, and you’re the only one who can help.”

“Why?” Chen Feng was a little puzzled.

“Because you’re very rich. Wang Fang told me that you gave your brother hundreds of thousands to open a car wash, and also gave your parents hundreds of thousands to buy insurance. So, you should also know some influential people. I hope you can ask someone with enough weight to help mediate.”

Chen Feng was speechless for the third time. What was all this?

“Xiaoyue, I have some money, but the boss of Linnan Leather has assets of at least a billion, right? How can a small shrimp like me compare to him? Besides, you should also know my family background and situation. I’m a country person. How can I know any influential people?
If I have to say, it’s only Teacher Zheng’s daughter, your Director Feng. I suggest that if you really want to ask someone to mediate, you should ask Director Feng. The leather factory is a key polluting enterprise. No matter how powerful Linnan Leather is, they have to give Director Feng some face, right?”

Fang Xiaoy-ue sighed, “It’s useless. Director Feng called me to her office today and gave me a good scolding. She told me not to be too ambitious when I go on blind dates in the future and to find someone who is a good match. This is obviously because Wang Guowei’s side put pressure on her. Fortunately, I’m her mother’s student, so she didn’t make things difficult for me, just gave me a warning.”
