Chapter 157: One is Better at Acting Than the Other

“Why are you here?”

Chen Feng looked at Wu Mengting, who had suddenly appeared in front of him, with a surprised expression.

She had obviously dressed up carefully today. Her hairstyle had also been slightly changed. In the past, she liked to tie her hair in a ponytail, but this time she didn’t. Instead, she had a center part and her hair fell naturally, making her look even more gentle and sweet.

She was wearing a short black down jacket with the zipper unzipped, revealing a candy-colored pullover sweater inside. She paired it with a gray woolen miniskirt that went past her knees. Her slender and beautiful legs were wrapped in black thermal leggings, and she was wearing a pair of light coffee-colored short boots with fur.

This outfit was both slimming and showed off her figure. It was truly stunning.

Chen Feng was surprised, not only because of her sudden appearance, but also because he was stunned by her attire. He couldn’t take his eyes off her.

Damn! I have a feeling of being moved!

“What? Can’t I come?”

Wu Mengting smiled sweetly at Chen Feng, then took out a not-so-large gift box from her bag and handed it to Chen Feng with both hands, “Happy birthday! This is my gift to you!”

Chen Feng had a hard time moving his gaze away from her long legs and looked at the gift box she handed him.

He couldn’t help but feel a little moved in his heart.

He silently took the gift box.

“Open it and see if you like it,” Wu Mengting looked at him with a sweet smile.

Chen Feng was not polite and directly opened the gift box.

After unwrapping the outer gift box, there was a rectangular packaging box inside. It was not very big. The box had English written on it. After looking at it, it was a bottle of perfume. Chen Feng didn’t know much about what kind of perfume it was.

Wu Mengting explained to him, “This is a bottle of L’Artisan Parfumeur’s Timbuktu. It’s hard to buy in China. I bought it through a classmate in the United States and had it sent over. I just received it two days ago. Fortunately, it’s in time. Open it and smell it to see if you like the scent.”

“Why would a man like me wear perfume?” Although Chen Feng also knew that many men now wear perfume, he was still not used to it, or rather, he didn’t have this hobby.

“We women often say you are stinky men. Men should wear perfume because they are stinky.”

After Wu Mengting finished speaking seriously, she couldn’t help but giggle.

Chen Feng also smiled, then opened the packaging box. Inside was a transparent glass bottle of perfume.

He unscrewed the cap slightly and smelled it. It couldn’t be said to be very fragrant. It was different from the perfume he had smelled before. It seemed to have a grassy smell. It had to be said that this smell was much better than those somewhat pungent women’s perfumes. Its smell was a bit light and very subtle.

“How is it? Do you like this smell?” Wu Mengting asked with a blink of her eyes.

Chen Feng immediately nodded and said truthfully, “It smells very good. This smell is very comfortable. If I wear this kind of perfume, I don’t mind.”

Wu Mengting said happily, “I knew you would like this perfume. Because your personality and temperament are very compatible with this perfume. It has the smell of green leaves and grass, which is very suitable for elegant men.”

Chen Feng smiled and said, “In your eyes, am I that kind of elegant man?”

Wu Mengting nodded, “Of course, your personality looks very elegant, with a scholarly air.”

“Correct answer. I’ll reward you next time.”

“Can’t you reward me today?” Wu Mengting asked with a slight pout.

“Alright. I’ll reward you with a big meal. Later, our whole family will go to the county town to buy vegetables and New Year’s goods. We’ll have a big meal at night.”

“Good, good,” Wu Mengting immediately clapped her hands happily. “I like your mom’s cooking the most. I’m really in for a treat today. By the way, I bought gifts for your uncle and aunt, and also for your brother’s family. You go to the car with me to get them.”

“Why are you being so polite?”

Although Chen Feng said so, he still quickly came out from behind the counter and went out with her. He moved a large pile of gifts from her car.

There were health products for his parents, two large bags of seafood for his brother and sister-in-law, and two large plush toys for his two nieces.

These gifts added up to at least two or three thousand.

In this regard, Chen Feng didn’t say any more polite words. She gave these gifts to please his family. Besides, Wu Mengting also had some savings. Buying these gifts was nothing.

At most, Chen Feng would find a way to compensate her in the future.

When the two of them moved the things out of the car, there were already several nosy neighbors watching. A few familiar uncles and aunts even came over to greet Chen Feng and Wu Mengting.

Wu Mengting had stayed here for a few days before and had basically met all the surrounding neighbors. She also politely smiled and responded to the few familiar people.

The Chen family, who were eating inside, also heard the commotion and came out one after another, seeing Wu Mengting.

“Xiaoting, why are you here?” Mother Zhao Xiaolan walked over quickly with a surprised and happy face. She held Wu Mengting’s hand affectionately, her face full of joy.

Wu Mengting also greeted the Chen family with a smile, then whispered affectionately with Zhao Xiaolan. In a short while, she made Zhao Xiaolan laugh out loud.

The two little nieces also surrounded Wu Mengting very affectionately, calling her “sister” and “sister” non-stop.

Even Chen Rui and Li Guihong’s couple also had smiles on their faces. They were very happy about Wu Mengting’s visit again.

Chen Feng sighed secretly as he watched from the side. He had to admire that Wu Mengting’s move was very effective. She had completely conquered his entire family.

If he were to marry another woman in the future, his whole family would definitely object.

Fortunately, Chen Feng had no intention of getting married anymore. Otherwise, he would ask himself, among the few women he knew, Wu Mengting was really the best match.

If he hadn’t been sick, he would have gotten together with Wu Mengting long ago without his family’s urging.

The whole family surrounded Wu Mengting and entered the house. Zhao Xiaolan hadn’t finished her meal, but she didn’t want to eat anymore. She held Wu Mengting’s hand and talked non-stop.

Wu Mengting always had a kind smile on her face, and she would respond and echo a few words from time to time, which made Zhao Xiaolan’s smile never stop.

After chatting like this for more than ten minutes, the rest of the family had already finished their meal. Chen Feng couldn’t help but remind his mother to go to the county town to buy New Year’s goods.

Only then did Zhao Xiaolan come back to her senses. She immediately gave the order for the whole family to go to the county town, and of course, she also took Wu Mengting with her.

With so many people, they definitely needed two cars. The two brothers each had one.

Chen Feng’s car took his mother and Wu Mengting. The two little nieces wanted to follow, but they were taken away by their mother.

After the car started, Zhao Xiaolan said with a smile, “It’s all thanks to Ah Feng’s birthday this time. Otherwise, Xiaoting wouldn’t have come. I’m basking in Ah Feng’s glory.”

Wu Mengting quickly said, “I want to come and see you every day, but I live a little far away. Besides, I’m also afraid of what others will say.”

“What are others saying? Some people say you are Ah Feng’s girlfriend. I’m very happy to hear that. If Ah Feng really has such a good girlfriend as you, I would wake up laughing in my dreams.”

Hearing this, Wu Mengting was very shy and happy. She lowered her head and said, “I… I’m willing, but Brother Feng doesn’t agree.”

“Ah, is there such a thing?” Zhao Xiaolan immediately looked very angry and asked Chen Feng loudly, “Ah Feng, is there really such a thing? I always thought Xiaoting was just your god-sister. I didn’t expect her to like you, and you’re still being coy and unwilling? Are you blind?”

Chen Feng, who was driving, was speechless for a while. These two women were better at acting than the other.

Wu Mengting liked him. Even the neighbors could see it. You, this old mother, didn’t see it?

Wu Mengting was about the same. If you were really afraid of what people would say, why did you stay at his house and refuse to leave?

Hypocritical!
But although Chen Feng complained in his heart, he couldn’t say it out loud. Instead, he had to follow his mother’s words.

“Mom, I already have a girlfriend. You know that. Let’s talk about it after I break up with Xiaorui. Tingting, we’ll solve our own problems. Don’t involve the elders.”

Hearing this, Zhao Xiaolan was not happy, “What do you mean by not involving the elders? I’m your mother. Can’t I care about your lifelong event? You’re already thirty years old. With such a good girl as Xiaoting, what are you still picky about? Xiaorui looks good, but she’s definitely not as good as Xiaoting. Find a chance to make it clear to Xiaorui and break up peacefully.”

Zhao Xiaolan originally didn’t want to directly interfere with her son’s emotional problems, but she was too satisfied with Wu Mengting.

That Sun Xiaorui looked good, but after all, she wasn’t in front of her. They hadn’t lived together or had face-to-face contact. And she was from another province. Compared with Wu Mengting, she was really much worse.

Especially after Wu Mengting left last time, Zhao Xiaolan thought about her every day, hoping that she could come again, and even become her daughter-in-law in the future.

This time, Wu Mengting’s sudden appearance was a huge surprise to her. It was as if a treasure had been lost and found again. Of course, she had to hold on to it tightly for fear of losing it again.

Out of this mentality, Zhao Xiaolan couldn’t help but interfere with her son’s emotional problems.

And in Chen Feng’s view, his mother was like being brainwashed by Wu Mengting, which made him speechless.

“Mom, this is my own emotional problem. I’ll solve it myself. You don’t have to interfere.”

Chen Feng said with some helplessness.

Zhao Xiaolan was not a feudal parent and was also reasonable. She softened her tone and said, “It’s not that Mom wants to interfere, it’s that you have eyes but can’t see the pearl. Mom is afraid that if you miss it now, you’ll regret it for the rest of your life.”

Chen Feng could only say perfunctorily, “Alright, alright, I know. Give me some time.”

Zhao Xiaolan was not so easily fooled. She immediately followed his words, “Alright. I’ll give you two months. At that time, I hope you can break up with Xiaorui and accept Xiaoting.”

Chen Feng didn’t know if he still had two months, but he couldn’t just agree to this request. He could only say vaguely, “I know. I’ll think about it carefully.”

Zhao Xiaolan immediately took his words and said, “Alright. Then I’ll take it that you’ve agreed.”

Chen Feng: “…”

And Wu Mengting smiled happily and proudly. She held Zhao Xiaolan’s hand affectionately and whispered, “Thank you, Auntie.”

Zhao Xiaolan smiled and gently patted her hand, also whispering, “Don’t worry, I only recognize you as my daughter-in-law.”

Wu Mengting immediately blushed, her heart full of joy and gratitude.

To have such a significant effect, it was not in vain that she had put in so much effort before and did her homework on Chen Feng’s family.

At this time, Chen Feng had to admire Wu Mengting’s means of pleasing his mother. It was really difficult for ordinary people to achieve such results in a short period of time.

First of all, you have to have thick skin. Secondly, you have to be beautiful, cute, and have affinity. The third and most important point is eloquence and the ability to please people.

Wu Mengting had all three of these points, so she managed to win over his family in a short period of time.

The car quickly arrived at the county town. First, they went to the big supermarket in the new city. They could buy vegetables there, and the price was a little cheaper than the market.

They pushed two shopping carts in and came out with them full to pay the bill. The two brothers paid separately.

After that, the group went shopping in the mall. After shopping for nearly an hour, the group went to the large market in the old city to buy some dried goods and other New Year’s goods.

This time, his mother paid for it herself. After buying, she went shopping nearby and ate some snacks. Wu Mengting specially bought him a birthday cake, and then they went home together.

It was almost three o’clock when they got home. His mother, sister-in-law, and Wu Mengting started to get busy in the kitchen.

Chen Feng, on the other hand, was instructed by his mother to go and tidy up the back room to make room for Wu Mengting to sleep.

After Chen Feng finished packing his things, he packed them and went to the room on the second floor. He lay down on the bed to rest and scrolled through his phone.

At this time, there were several unread WeChat messages.

Lin Yujiao had asked him more than half an hour ago if he wanted to help her celebrate tonight. They could go to the county town to eat together, or they could buy some vegetables and cook themselves.

Unfortunately, her rental house didn’t even have a kitchen, so it was definitely not suitable for cooking.

Her unspoken meaning was actually that she wanted to go out with Chen Feng for a big meal to celebrate his birthday.

Chen Feng directly replied: [My family is already cooking a big meal to celebrate for me tonight.]

Lin Yujiao immediately typed: [Then can I go over and eat with you?]

Of course, Chen Feng couldn’t refuse directly. He used a retreat to advance: [Alright, you can come over]

[Then I’ll really go over]

[Yes, come over. Mengting is also here]

[Ah, really? She’s here again?]

[Yes, she came here specially to celebrate my birthday]

Lin Yujiao was obviously hit and didn’t respond for a while. This was also understandable. She originally thought she was the first to send Chen Feng birthday wishes and remember his birthday.

But now she was directly killed by Wu Mengting. She had come all the way from the city to celebrate Chen Feng’s birthday. This sincerity was really too much. If she were Chen Feng, she couldn’t not be moved.

Chen Feng looked at the other unread WeChat messages. One of them was from Xiao Ya. She actually remembered Chen Feng’s birthday, but it was only four short words “Happy Birthday.”

Out of politeness, Chen Feng replied with two words “Thank you.”

In addition, there was a WeChat message from Lin Wan, also four words “Happy Birthday,” but with an extra red envelope.

He clicked to open the red envelope. It was exactly 88 yuan.

It was obvious that this woman had only sent it out of courtesy, and it should have been Wu Mengting who reminded her. Otherwise, she couldn’t have specially remembered his birthday.

Also out of politeness, Chen Feng replied with two words “Thank you.”

After finishing these, he scrolled through his Moments for a while. Chen Feng received a call from the courier. He immediately went downstairs to receive it. It was a pair of Nike running shoes sent by Sun Xiaorui. He tried them on and they fit very well.

He immediately took a picture and sent it to Sun Xiaorui, saying that they fit very well.

And Sun Xiaorui also sent him a picture of her “feet,” but they were bare feet. Her small feet were like jade, and the nails of her ten toes were painted with a light red color, like ten small petals. Seeing this, Chen Feng’s heart suddenly jumped a few times.

This vixen, isn’t she deliberately seducing people?

Just as Chen Feng was about to flirt with her, a person appeared at the door and called out to him, “Brother Feng.”
