Chapter 155: Three Initiatives

Xu Jun sat in his car with negative emotions such as anger, unwillingness, hatred, and jealousy.

At this moment, he felt like a dog, a dog that had fled with its tail between its legs.

When he drove out of this small mountain village, his eyes were red and he was about to cry. He really loved Lin Yujiao. Only after losing her did he realize that he really loved her very much.

But no matter how much he regretted it, he couldn’t get her back. Lin Yujiao seemed to have no feelings for him anymore.

From the look in her eyes, Xu Jun could no longer feel any warmth or emotion, only disgust and indifference. This made him even more
He knew that he had missed a good woman like Lin Yujiao. It was useless for him to be unwilling.

However, thinking of Chen Feng, this third party’s face, he felt a surge of anger in his heart, and it was really hard to calm down.

Being robbed of his love, it could even be said to be the hatred of having his wife stolen. If Xu Jun really endured it, he would never be comfortable in his life.

He wanted revenge, that was for sure.

However, he was not a reckless man. He could not rashly take a knife and stab someone, and get himself into trouble.

He considered himself a smart person. Revenge had to be planned before action. Considering Chen Feng’s identity as a rich man, he had to be even more cautious. Otherwise, even if he beat Chen Feng up, he would definitely be retaliated against ten times over.

First of all, he had to know himself and his enemy. He had to understand Chen Feng’s background in detail, and it would be best to find his weaknesses and handles.

If Chen Feng ran a factory and did business, he would spend money to bribe people in his factory to get evidence of his tax evasion, illegal production, unqualified fire protection, unqualified safety inspection, unqualified products, environmental pollution, noise pollution, counterfeit and shoddy products, and so on.

If he was self-employed, he would find someone to set up a trap for him.

In short, if he really wanted to deal with someone, Xu Jun felt that there were many ways. Especially now that he had hundreds of thousands of savings. If he was not short of money, he was confident that it would not be difficult to spend money to find someone to deal with Chen Feng.

Secondly, it was to make a specific and feasible revenge plan based on Chen Feng’s weaknesses and handles. This step was actually not very difficult.

While driving, Xu Jun was thinking about how to find someone to investigate Chen Feng’s background and how to set up a trap for him.

Just as the car drove down the mountain road, he received a call from his mother.

Xu Jun was a little impatient and didn’t want to answer, but the phone kept ringing, so he still chose to answer.

“Ah Jun, come quickly. My chest hurts so much. Hurry up and take me to the hospital.”

Hearing this, Xu Jun immediately became nervous and quickly asked, “Does it hurt a lot? How does it hurt?”

“Anyway, it hurts a lot. Hurry back…”

“Alright, alright, I’ll be right back.”

After Xu Jun drove back home with a worried face and accelerated, he sent his mother, whose face was pale with pain, to the hospital for an examination without stopping.

More than two hours later, although he was mentally prepared, he was still struck by lightning when he got the diagnosis report. His mother had lung cancer.

There were only him and his mother in their family. He was a smoker, about a pack a day. Before, with Lin Yujiao and his mother, two women, it could be said that they often inhaled his second-hand smoke. This was probably the reason why his mother got lung cancer.

Xu Jun broke down on the spot. He held his head in his hands and squatted on the ground, crying bitterly, his heart filled with self-blame and regret.

…

Lin’s family.

After Xu Jun left, both Lin’s mother and Lin’s father couldn’t help but smile at Chen Feng.

Lin’s father said with a final word, “Since you two like each other, we as elders certainly can’t break you up. As for the marriage, of course we hope the sooner the better. But since you have decided not to get married for now, we will certainly respect your young people’s opinions. Let’s just leave it at that.”

And Lin’s mother looked at the bundles of red banknotes on the dining table with eager eyes. She swallowed hard with some difficulty and looked at Chen Feng, “Ah Feng, are you really planning to spend all this money on us?”

Chen Feng smiled and nodded, “Of course, there are exactly two hundred thousand here. You and uncle can spend it as you please. Go on a national tour, look around, and appreciate the great rivers and mountains of our motherland.”

“Then… that’s great.” Lin’s mother immediately beamed with joy. She didn’t bother with politeness anymore. She quickly went forward and skillfully stuffed the twenty bundles of red banknotes back into the black plastic bag. While stuffing, she said to Chen Feng with a fawning smile, “It’s not safe to put so much money here. I’ll go and hide it.”

Chen Feng said with a smile, “Auntie is right. It should be hidden.”

Seeing her mother’s behavior, Lin Yujiao couldn’t help but blush. She said with some annoyance, “If you’re not at ease, I’ll take you to the bank in town to deposit it later.”

Lin’s mother immediately shook her head, “No need to trouble you. Your father and I will deposit it in the bank. For now, it’s better to hide it.”

Lin’s mother quickly stuffed the money back into the plastic bag, then held it tightly in her arms and hurried upstairs.

Seeing this, Lin Yujiao couldn’t help but feel embarrassed in front of Chen Feng. She was very dissatisfied with her mother in her heart.

Lin’s father said with a smile, “Ah Feng, you said before that you work in finance. This job seems to be very profitable. You don’t just earn two hundred thousand a year, do you?”

Before, Chen Feng had told him that he worked in finance and had an annual income of about two hundred thousand.

But now Chen Feng was giving them two hundred thousand yuan as a filial piety gift, and he also said that he would give Lin Yujiao thirty thousand yuan a month for pocket money. Of course, Lin’s father guessed that Chen Feng’s annual income was more than two hundred thousand.

Chen Feng smiled and said, “I didn’t lie when I said my annual income was two hundred thousand before. Because this is my fixed income. But I also trade stocks, which is my part-time job. I was lucky in the second half of this year and made some money from stock trading.”

“Oh, so that’s how it is?” Lin’s father nodded as if he understood. He wanted to ask Chen Feng how much money he had now, but he felt that it was too abrupt and would make his family seem too greedy, so he didn’t ask again.

At this time, Lin’s mother also hurried down from upstairs. She was very enthusiastic and made tea for Chen Feng and Lin Yujiao. She also wanted to cook them sweet soup with eggs. The eggs were laid by the hens they raised at home. She said that Lin Yujiao had loved this dessert since she was a child.

Chen Feng was not polite about this. Lin Yujiao, needless to say, even told her to add a few more eggs.

Chen Feng and Lin Yujiao chatted with Lin’s father for a while. It was mainly Chen Feng who told him about a few good tourist attractions and recommended them to go and play after the New Year.

Traveling was very attractive to these healthy elderly people. Lin’s father was very interested and asked in detail. Chen Feng also told him everything he knew, which made Lin’s father very satisfied.

Not long after, Chen Feng and Lin Yujiao ate the sweet soup with eggs, a very simple and unadorned folk dessert. It was considered very luxurious in the past, but now it was not cheap.

Because the free-range eggs were very expensive, they sold for thirty or forty yuan a catty in the countryside. In this way, a small egg was at least three or four yuan.

And at this time, there were eight in Chen Feng’s bowl. The cost alone was worth thirty or forty yuan. If you added labor and other costs, and the pure brown sugar, it would be cheap to sell this bowl for fifty yuan.

Chen Feng ate five and couldn’t eat anymore. Lin Yujiao, on the other hand, ate all five eggs in her bowl in one go, and she still looked like she wanted more. Finally, seeing that Chen Feng had three left, she didn’t mind and took them to eat.

It could be seen that she really liked to eat sweet soup with eggs.

After eating everything, she explained with some embarrassment that she hadn’t eaten much for lunch.

After eating the dessert, Chen Feng proposed to leave. The two elders politely wanted to keep him for dinner, but Chen Feng refused.

Before leaving, Chen Feng specially instructed the two elders not to tell anyone about the two hundred thousand yuan filial piety gift, especially not to let his family know. Chen Feng had not told his family about this matter, lest his parents find out and make a fuss.

Lin’s father and mother nodded and agreed. Of course, they both understood the principle of making a fortune in silence, and they were even more afraid that Chen Feng’s parents would find out and ask them for the money back.

Only then did Chen Feng leave with Lin Yujiao at ease.

“Brother Feng, thank you.”

After getting into the car, just as Chen Feng started the car and hadn’t driven far, Lin Yujiao came over very gratefully and kissed him on the cheek.
A smile appeared on Chen Feng’s lips. Just for this heartfelt kiss of gratitude, the two hundred thousand yuan was worth it. “You don’t have to thank me in the future,” Chen Feng said with a smile. “Anyway, you follow me well in the future, and I will definitely not treat you badly.”

Lin Yujiao nodded obediently and said “hmm.”

Her obedient appearance made Chen Feng very satisfied and gave him a sense of accomplishment. It was not in vain that he had spent some effort to act with her.

He drove all the way back to Qingpu Town. The two of them naturally went to her rental house.

Fortunately, if they went through the back door, not many people would see them here.

Of course, they were both single now. Even if they were seen, it was nothing. But after all, Chen Feng lived on this street. If he was seen by someone he knew, it would be a little bad.

Her rental room on the first floor was really a bit small. After putting down a bed, there was not much space left.

Chen Feng looked at it and couldn’t help but say, “Why don’t you rent another house next year? Just rent a suite upstairs here. The rent here is not expensive. It’s probably about ten thousand yuan a year.”

“The suites here are at least two bedrooms and one living room. If you rent for a whole year, the minimum is fifteen thousand a year. It’s gone up. Last year it was only twelve thousand. I don’t need two bedrooms and one living room by myself, and I don’t want to share a lease with others. This is fine.”

Chen Feng originally wanted to say that I would pay for it, but he held back in the end. It wasn’t that he was reluctant to spend this money, but he was afraid that if he was too good to her, she would fall in love with him, which would be a little troublesome.

“Then you can do as you see fit. Your shop is not open now. What’s the plan?”

Lin Yujiao said with hope, “Why don’t we go on a trip? Just to some nearby places.”

After thinking for a while, Chen Feng nodded and said, “Alright. Anyway, there’s nothing to do. Let’s go and visit some surrounding counties and cities.”

“That’s great.” Lin Yujiao was so excited that she hugged Chen Feng and kissed him.

She had been so proactive twice today.

Chen Feng was a little proud and a little worried. He was really afraid that she would fall in love with him because of this.

Of course, Chen Feng still had experience in this aspect. After all, there were the examples of Sun Xiaorui and Xiao Ya before.

As long as he didn’t fall in love with them, if he really wanted to break up and abandon them, he wouldn’t be indecisive. Xiao Ya was a good example. At most, it was just a matter of spending more money.

The two of them immediately used their mobile phones to search and discuss where to go around.

They quickly decided on two places, both around their Lushi. The farthest place was only an hour by high-speed rail. After the two of them planned the route, Chen Feng very readily booked two high-speed rail tickets with his mobile phone for one o’clock in the afternoon tomorrow.

Although it was the Spring Festival travel season now, it was still relatively easy to buy high-speed rail tickets nearby.

Seeing that Chen Feng had bought the tickets so readily, Lin Yujiao once again took the initiative to hug him and kiss him.

This time, Chen Feng didn’t let her succeed. Instead, he took the initiative and pushed her down…

When Chen Feng got home, it was already past nine o’clock in the evening. As soon as he entered the door, his mother, who was watching the shop, asked with an unfriendly face, “You’ve been out all day. What have you been doing?”

Chen Feng quickly smiled obsequiously, “Didn’t I say? I went to the county town to play with my classmates.”

“Male or female?”

“Both male and female. They are all my old high school classmates.”

Zhao Xiaolan said with a stern face, “Then how come I heard from your father that your car was parked at Yujiao’s clothing store?”

Chen Feng was suddenly Spartan and extremely embarrassed.

Sure enough, it was his own mother. This direct slap in the face left Chen Feng with no defense at all.

Fortunately, there were only the two of them in the small shop now.

“I… I was playing with my old classmates in the county town before. Then I came back and stopped by Yujiao’s place.”

Chen Feng’s words were true, but he couldn’t help but feel a burning sensation on his face.

“Alright. I don’t care about your messy affairs. I just hope you seriously consider Xiaoting. If you get together with her in the future, you have to settle down. I don’t accept this Yujiao. You can play with her as you like, but don’t play with fire.”

“Yes, yes, I know. Then I’ll go in first. You should also rest early.”

“Go ahead.”

Chen Feng was as if he had been granted amnesty. He quickly walked towards his room in the back.

…

On the other side, Lin Yujiao was lying on the bed happily, scrolling through the攻略 for the scenic spots she was going to tomorrow. But she suddenly received a WeChat message from Guo Mengyao.

Last time they played together, Guo Mengyao had added each other as WeChat friends when the three women went to the bathroom together.

But after the three of them separated, they had not contacted each other. Whether it was Wu Mengting or Guo Mengyao, they had not contacted her. Of course, she had not taken the initiative to contact them either.

This was a kind of tacit understanding among the three women.

Until now, Guo Mengyao took the initiative to send her a WeChat message, breaking this tacit understanding.

[I heard from Chen Feng that he went home with you this afternoon to see your parents. How did it go? Are you talking about marriage?]

Seeing this WeChat message, Lin Yujiao couldn’t help but frown.

Chen Feng actually told Guo Mengyao about such a private matter. It was obvious that their relationship was unusual.

Thinking back to the last time the four of them played together, Guo Mengyao showed her affection and ambiguity towards Chen Feng. She felt even more uncomfortable in her heart.

After pondering for a while, Lin Yujiao replied: [Yes, my parents are very satisfied with him.]

After waiting for two or three minutes, Guo Mengyao received such a reply. Her mind raced, and she understood that Lin Yujiao was being evasive and deliberately mysterious.

What Guo Mengyao cared about was whether she and Chen Feng were talking about marriage. Other things didn’t matter. Now that she avoided answering the question of engagement and marriage, of course Guo Mengyao understood.

They were all women, and Guo Mengyao’s IQ was very high. She would not be so easily fooled by Lin Yujiao.

[It’s a pity that Chen Feng has no intention of getting married. It’s useless for your parents to be satisfied with him for the time being. I don’t know when he’ll figure it out.]

Seeing this, Lin Yujiao knew that her bluff had failed. She was so angry that she almost smashed her phone.
