Chapter Index

    Hearing Liu Ying say this, Chen Feng also felt a little embarrassed.

    However, Chen Feng really didn’t mean to provoke her. It was just that they hadn’t been in contact for so many years, and when they suddenly got in touch and were chatting well, it was inevitable that the conversation would get a little deeper, and then he would feel emotional.

    “No, of course not.” Chen Feng quickly denied, “I was just sighing a little. Your ex-husband cheated on you, and multiple times at that. It was inevitable that you would divorce him. Although the child is a bit innocent, the main responsibility is not on you.”

    After Chen Feng said this, Liu Ying finally calmed down a little and sighed, “No matter what, I, as a mother, am responsible. But I can’t help it. I’m really fed up with my ex-husband’s betrayal, and I haven’t gotten used to life abroad all these years.”

    “Yes, no matter how good a foreign country is, it’s not your own country after all. And you have to suffer some inexplicable discrimination and exclusion from the locals. The actual feeling and treatment are similar to that of a second-class citizen, a step below others.”

    “Yes. Although those foreigners don’t have any discriminatory behavior on the surface, in real life, there are still many people who discriminate against us yellow-skinned people, especially yellow-skinned men. As a yellow-skinned woman, I’m a little better off, but in daily life, I’ve more or less had some feelings and experiences of being discriminated against and treated differently. In addition, some living habits and customs are completely different from ours in China, not to mention the food. Overall, it really doesn’t feel as comfortable as living in our country.”

    “So your plan is to live in the country for a long time in the future?”

    “Yes, I plan to live in Xiuzhou, which is also convenient for taking care of my parents.”

    “That’s very good.”

    “Are you free tonight? Let’s meet for a cup of coffee, my treat.” Liu Ying suddenly took the initiative to invite him.

    Chen Feng was not surprised by this, but he asked with some curiosity, “Just the two of us?”

    “Of course, do you hope it’s a lot of people?”

    “Not really.”

    “Then that’s it. Mika Coffee House on Changhu Road tonight, seven o’clock, be there or be square.”

    “Alright then. I’ll be there.”

    Originally, Chen Feng wanted to ask her what she was looking for him for, but he felt that it would spoil the atmosphere, so he didn’t ask.

    As for whether Liu Ying, this class beauty, wanted to eat his “leftovers,” Chen Feng was not sure. But in his heart, Chen Feng would definitely not reject a deep exchange of friendship between male and female classmates.

    Anyway, they were both divorced now, both single, and both thirty years old. There were really not so many scruples about some things.

    “Then it’s settled. I’ll hang up first.”

    “Okay, goodbye.”

    Not long after hanging up the phone, Chen Feng received a WeChat friend request from Liu Ying, which Chen Feng of course accepted.

    However, the two did not chat on WeChat again.

    It was almost four o’clock in the afternoon. Chen Feng put away his phone and came out of the practice room. Then he went downstairs and saw the two women rearranging some decorations in the living room on the first floor. The main thing was to replace the set of wooden furniture that looked pretty good. They both felt that the style of this set of furniture was a bit old-fashioned and wanted to change to a younger set.

    After asking Chen Feng, Chen Feng did not object. Then, in the past two days, they bought a new set of furniture together, including a coffee table, sofa, chairs, etc. It was not expensive, adding up to more than 50,000 yuan. Of course, Chen Feng paid for it.

    “Brother, what do you think of this arrangement?”

    Seeing Chen Feng come down, Wu Mengting quickly asked.

    Chen Feng nodded in approval, “It’s okay, it does look more comfortable than before.”

    “That’s good.”

    The two women quickly redecorated the living room on the first floor, and it did look better than before.

    Chen Feng naturally went to sit on the newly bought leather sofa. This set of sofas cost more than 30,000 yuan, which was a bit expensive for an ordinary family, but for this villa, it seemed a bit cheap.

    But Chen Feng sat down and felt it, and it felt quite good, very comfortable, much more comfortable than the wooden bench before.

    “Brother, Xiao Wan knows we’ve moved, and she also saw some photos of this place from my Moments. She said she wants to come over and have a look, is that okay?”

    Seeing that Chen Feng’s expression was quite good, Wu Mengting took the opportunity to mention Lin Wan’s request to come over.

    In fact, Lin Wan had told Wu Mengting a few days ago that she wanted to come and see this super-luxury villa, but Wu Mengting had been dragging it on. Now that they were about to travel abroad, it was not good to continue to drag it on, so she could only explain to Chen Feng.

    “If she just wants to come and have a look, of course, there’s no problem. But you can’t be so kind as to let her stay, not even in the previous villa. I’m not renting that villa out for the time being. Depending on the situation, I might sell it.”

    Hearing this, Wu Mengting was a little embarrassed. Lin Wan had indeed been thinking about living with her again. Although they had only rented together for a few months before, Lin Wan had been completely spoiled by her. She basically didn’t do any housework and could eat the ready-made meals that Wu Mengting cooked for her every day.

    Especially after living in the lakeside villa with Wu Mengting for a period of time, it was really difficult to adapt to going back to live in the somewhat old rental house in the old community.

    Especially last time when she rented with her two classmates, she was not used to it in various ways and even had some conflicts. Now she lives alone in a bedroom of a shared apartment of only thirty square meters, which is even more depressing and uncomfortable.

    Especially after seeing Wu Mengting living in the villa here in Red Villa Bay, the gap was too great when the two were compared.

    In addition, her live-streaming career was not very successful now. One reason was that she was not one of those glamorous and flirtatious female streamers, let alone the kind who deliberately played on the edge and sold her body. Another reason was that Wu Mengting, a great beauty with a score of over ninety, would occasionally make a guest appearance in her live stream, and the previous national tour had also brought her a lot of popularity.

    As a result, after separating from Wu Mengting, not only did her life plummet, but her live-streaming career was also greatly discounted. In addition, she had also spent a lot of money when she went home for the New Year, and her family had taken a lot of money from her. Now she could only save money and live in a three-bedroom, one-living-room shared apartment with a few strangers. Each person only occupied one bedroom, and the bathroom was shared. Even so, the monthly rent was 1,800 yuan.

    This made her quality of life much worse than before.

    Lin Wan told Wu Mengting all these things and complained to her. Although Wu Mengting was also very sympathetic, she couldn’t make the decision to continue living with her.

    However, this time they moved to the No. 8 villa, and the other villa was empty. Wu Mengting did think about finding a suitable opportunity to plead with Chen Feng to let Lin Wan live there.

    But now hearing what Chen Feng said, it was obviously impossible.

    Wu Mengting couldn’t do anything about it. Although Lin Wan was her friend and had helped her in the beginning, she had also repaid her in multiples. She really didn’t owe Lin Wan anything.

    Of course, she couldn’t be so stupid as to move away from Chen Feng and continue to rent with Lin Wan outside, and continue to be Lin Wan’s free nanny.

    “Alright. I know. I’ll make it clear to her. Look, should we let her come over for dinner tonight? After all, we’re leaving for Europe tomorrow.”

    Seeing Wu Mengting’s cautious look, Chen Feng couldn’t refuse anymore. He nodded and said, “Okay, let her come over for dinner.”

    At around five o’clock, Lin Wan came over with a bag of fruit.

    Wu Mengting opened the main gate for her. After she parked her car and got out, she looked around with a shocked expression. Especially when she saw the open-air swimming pool in front of the villa, her eyes were red with envy.

    “Tiantian, you’re so happy to be able to live in a house like this. You’re so lucky.”

    Lin Wan’s face was full of envy, jealousy, and hatred. At the same time, she was also very regretful in her heart. If she had known that Chen Feng was so rich, she would definitely not have been so rude to him and so clueless before.

    Before, Chen Feng had rented a villa. Later, for that E06 villa, although Lin Wan had also overestimated Chen Feng’s net worth, she had only thought that Chen Feng had bought it with a mortgage. Now it was this No. 8 villa. Even if it was also bought with a mortgage, her previous assessment of Chen Feng’s net worth was still a bit too low.

    As for Lin Wan’s words, Wu Mengting just smiled and said nothing, so as not to provoke her.

    The two walked into the villa’s main hall, and Lin Wan was once again full of praise. She almost couldn’t help but start a live stream, but fortunately, she held back. She knew that Chen Feng had always disliked live streams about him and his affairs.

    Not long after Lin Wan came over, dinner began. At the dinner table, Lin Wan kept trying to please Chen Feng, toasting him with drinks instead of wine, and saying all kinds of flattering words. Unfortunately, her flattering words were really a bit clumsy and unnatural, which made the three of them, Chen Feng, Wu Mengting, and Sun Xiaorui, cringe.

    In the end, Wu Mengting really couldn’t stand it anymore. She changed the subject and chatted with her about other things, and only then did she stop.

    Chen Feng didn’t give her a bad look, and of course, he wasn’t very enthusiastic either. He just maintained a superficial politeness.

    Chen Feng didn’t eat at the same table with her for long. He finished his meal in just over ten minutes, then said he was going out and left the table directly.

    The two women, Sun Xiaorui and Wu Mengting, couldn’t help but look at each other. During the time they had been with Chen Feng, Chen Feng had rarely driven out alone.

    This time, Chen Feng drove out alone.

    They didn’t ask any questions about it. One was just his kept mistress, and the other was just his nominal god-sister, and now his personal assistant. Of course, they had no right to ask about his private outings.

    “Chen Feng, he’s still angry with me, he doesn’t like me.”

    As soon as Chen Feng left, Lin Wan said with great disappointment.

    Wu Mengting comforted her, “He’s not angry with you. He’s not that petty.”

    Lin Wan thought to herself, if he wasn’t that petty, he should have let me live here.

    Sun Xiaorui also said, “Don’t worry. He’s not angry with you anymore. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have let you come over for dinner.”

    That was true. Lin Wan was slightly relieved. The hope of living in a big mansion was still there.

    Lin Wan turned to compliment Sun Xiaorui, “Sister Rui, your skin looks so good today. It’s like a baby’s skin. What kind of cosmetics do you use, or do you have some secret recipe?”

    The two women, Sun Xiaorui and Wu Mengting, were a little speechless when they heard this.

    While Chen Feng was driving to his appointment, Liu Ying was already waiting in the coffee shop early.

    This coffee shop was not far from her parents’ house, and at the same time, it was not far from Red Villa Bay.

    The reason why she took the initiative to contact Chen Feng and ask him out this time was actually very simple: to find a new partner for herself.

    Chen Feng was undoubtedly the most satisfactory next partner she had found so far.

    After all, she was not young anymore, and she had been married and had a child. Her youth was gone. All she could rely on was her still outstanding beauty and her carefully maintained figure.

    And for Chen Feng, what she could also rely on was the experience of Chen Feng’s bitter pursuit of her back then. Chen Feng had pursued her in college and had not succeeded.

    This point definitely left a regret in Chen Feng’s heart, so now she took the initiative to give Chen Feng a chance to make up for this regret.

    The reason why she chose Chen Feng was also very simple, because she had just seen Chen Feng in Red Villa Bay the day before yesterday.

    That day, she and her mother were guests at her aunt’s house in Red Villa Bay. Her aunt’s villa was diagonally opposite the No. 8 villa, about fifty or sixty meters away.

    That day, her uncle was on a business trip, and her cousins were also studying in other places. Besides her aunt herself, there was only a nanny at her aunt’s house, so she and her mother stayed at her aunt’s house that night.

    That morning at around six o’clock, she woke up and couldn’t sleep. Since her divorce, her sleep had been very poor. Sometimes she couldn’t fall asleep until two or three in the morning, and sometimes she would wake up after sleeping for five or six hours.

    This time at her aunt’s house, she was even more restless, so she got up early and stood by the bedroom window to look at the scenery. Then she saw a figure running slowly on the road. At first, she didn’t see clearly. When he ran closer, she saw clearly, and then she suddenly found that this person was actually her old classmate of four years in college, Chen Feng.

    After all, they had been classmates for four years in college, and Chen Feng’s square face was quite recognizable. What’s more, Chen Feng had pursued her, so of course, she had a relatively deep impression of Chen Feng.

    Her aunt’s villa was just an ordinary villa in Red Villa Bay, and the main gate was only a few meters away from the road, so she could see the appearance of the passers-by on the road very clearly from the window on the second floor. What’s more, her eyesight had always been quite good.

    She watched with her own eyes as Chen Feng ran into the No. 8 villa diagonally opposite.

    This No. 8 villa, she had also heard her aunt mention it, saying that it was worth at least 30 million.

    At that moment, Liu Ying really suspected that she had seen wrongly, or that it was just a person who looked very much like Chen Feng.

    So, she went to the property management office and used a little trick to verify it. Sure enough, the owner of the No. 8 villa was named Chen Feng, so there was no mistake.

    Next, of course, she began to investigate this old classmate of hers, Chen Feng. She contacted many university classmates and indirectly grasped some of Chen Feng’s current situation. The result made her very pleasantly surprised.

    First of all, Chen Feng was actually divorced and seemed to be single now. Secondly, none of these old classmates knew that Chen Feng was now rich and living in a villa. Most of them still thought he was working in a planning company and was an ordinary office worker.

    If she hadn’t seen Chen Feng run into the No. 8 villa with her own eyes, and even verified that the owner of the No. 8 villa was Chen Feng, she would have also thought that Chen Feng was just an ordinary office worker now.

    These two points undoubtedly brought her great convenience. She now “didn’t know” that this old classmate of hers, Chen Feng, had become rich, so she could completely start a new relationship with him and then get married.

    And this matter should be done sooner rather than later. Otherwise, how could a diamond bachelor like Chen Feng still be available for her?
