Chapter Index

    “This is my university classmate, Liu Ying. This is Wu Mengting, my god-sister, and this is Sun Xiaorui.”

    Chen Feng briefly introduced the three of them.

    Liu Ying was the first to react, greeting the two women gracefully, “Hello, nice to meet you.”

    “Hello!”

    “Hello!”

    Sun Xiaorui and Wu Mengting also had smiles on their faces, nodding at her with a smile.

    “Alright, come and sit down together.”

    Chen Feng gestured for Liu Ying to come and sit down on the sofa.

    “Liu Ying came over to have a look after she knew I lived here. She was quite interested. Also, her aunt’s house is diagonally opposite our main door. Don’t you think it’s a coincidence?”

    Hearing Chen Feng say this, the expressions of the two women relaxed slightly. From Chen Feng’s words, it was obvious that he had no intention of letting this Liu Ying live here.

    As for whether Chen Feng had a leg with this Liu Ying, it was very likely. This was a woman’s intuition.

    “It’s really quite a coincidence,” Wu Mengting said with a smile. “You two didn’t have a long-lost reunion here in Red Villa Bay, did you?”

    Hearing this, Chen Feng couldn’t help but smile. He had basically determined in his heart that Liu Ying had seen him here before, which was why she, who had not been in contact for many years, suddenly tried every means to contact him. Wu Mengting’s words were really a fluke.

    A trace of unnaturalness flashed across Liu Ying’s face, but her tone was still very calm as she said, “No. I have been living abroad for the past few years and have had a failed marriage just like Chen Feng. A few months ago, I divorced and returned to the country. Then one day, I looked back on the first half of my life and felt that I was a failure, especially in terms of feelings.

    “You may not know, but not long after the start of my freshman year, Chen Feng began to pursue me. He pursued me for more than half a year, from the first semester of my freshman year to the second semester of my freshman year. At that time, I was already moved by him and planned to be his girlfriend. But because of a villain, someone spread rumors and slandered Chen Feng, which made me misunderstand him. Then, I missed Chen Feng.

    “So, after my marriage failed and I returned to the country, I suddenly thought of Chen Feng, thought of the experience between me and Chen Feng back then, and then I often couldn’t help but think, what would have happened if there had been no villain back then, if I had put down some of my reserve and formally dated Chen Feng? Would I be living happily with Chen Feng at this time?

    “So, one day, I couldn’t help but try every means to find Chen Feng’s contact information and get in touch with him again. I hope to start over with Chen Feng and continue the fate that was broken back then.”

    Hearing her self-analysis, the three of them, Chen Feng, Sun Xiaorui, and Wu Mengting, didn’t know what to say for a moment. The two women, Sun Xiaorui and Wu Mengting, both despised and sighed at her thick skin in their hearts. At the same time, if what she said was true, it was indeed a bit touching.

    However, Chen Feng knew that there was an inside story, and this inside story was the most crucial. That was, she saw Chen Feng living here and knew that he was now very rich. Otherwise, she would definitely not have taken the initiative to contact him, and she would have gone to bed with him immediately after a long-lost reunion.

    But to be honest, watching Liu Ying confess to him so almost nakedly in front of the two women, Sun Xiaorui and Wu Mengting, his vanity was greatly satisfied.

    “Liu Ying, you’re making it very difficult for me. I can’t fully accept your feelings all at once. It makes me not know how to define my relationship with you now.”

    Chen Feng’s words were quite skillful, but also a bit scummy.

    From a female perspective, she had already slept with you, and had even met the woman’s parents. For you to say this now was obviously a sign of not wanting to take responsibility.

    Hearing Chen Feng say this, Liu Ying was very disappointed. Originally, she was so anxious to say these words in front of the two women, Sun Xiaorui and Wu Mengting. The main purpose was to force Chen Feng to admit his relationship with her, and also to show off and declare her sovereignty to Sun Xiaorui.

    Unfortunately, Chen Feng’s words directly shattered the deep and touching atmosphere she had worked so hard to create.

    “What you said is very wonderful. It’s just a pity and a regret that you missed my brother back then. The feelings in college are much purer than after entering society. At that time, if you liked someone, you could ignore the other person’s family background. Especially for some girls, even if some boys’ families were very poor, and their academic performance was not very good, they just liked him.

    “But after graduating from college and entering society, there are fewer and fewer such girls, because they will soon be defeated by real life. Living together is not just about romance, but also about daily necessities. Many girls, including me, will gradually begin to pay attention to material things. So, if my brother is a pauper now, would you still want to continue your old relationship with him?”

    Wu Mengting’s words were very realistic, and her question was also very direct. Coupled with her half-smiling expression as she looked at Liu Ying, it made Liu Ying’s heart secretly hate her.

    Before she came, she was most worried about and on guard against Sun Xiaorui, the woman kept by Chen Feng. She didn’t expect that Wu Mengting, this god-sister, was the one she should be most on guard against.

    “I’m not a very materialistic person. Otherwise, when I divorced my ex-husband, I wouldn’t have only taken a small part of the property. Of course, I don’t deny that I hope the man has a certain economic foundation. When I contacted Chen Feng again before, I didn’t even consider whether he had money or not, because I think the most important thing for two people to be together is to have good feelings for each other and have feelings for each other.

    “Although material things are also relatively important, they are not the most important. Just like the old saying goes, ‘It is easy to get a priceless treasure, but it is difficult to get a lover.’ And I also believe in Chen Feng’s ability very much. When he was in college, he tried every means to make money. He was a very smart boy back then. So, I believe that the current Chen Feng will not be too bad. Even if he is not doing well, it is only temporary. I will accompany him through the difficulties.”

    Hearing Liu Ying’s words, Wu Mengting and Sun Xiaorui couldn’t help but look at each other, and they could see the fear of Liu Ying in each other’s eyes.

    It was still Wu Mengting who spoke, and she directly poked at Liu Ying’s sore spot, “It seems you have decided on my brother now. Unfortunately, my brother has said that he will not remarry in the next two years. Has he told you this?”

    Liu Ying was stuffy in her heart, but on the surface, she still nodded calmly and said, “He has. I can wait.”

    Hearing this, a disdainful smile appeared on Wu Mengting’s lips. Not to mention that Chen Feng had a terminal illness and didn’t have one or two years left, even if he did, she believed that Chen Feng would not accept this one.

    The reason was very simple. Wu Mengting could see from Chen Feng’s attitude and expression just now that he was mostly playing with Liu Ying. At most, it was to the extent of Lin Yujiao. It was impossible for him to have any real feelings for her, let alone marry her.

    After figuring this out, Wu Mengting immediately let go of her hostility and vigilance towards Liu Ying. Because she had already seen through Liu Ying’s reality.

    “Your courage is commendable. But you may not succeed.”

    After Wu Mengting said this faintly, she stood up and asked in the posture of a hostess, “Do you like tea or coffee, or a drink?”

    “No need.” Liu Ying also stood up and said to Chen Feng with a smile, “I came here this time mainly because I was curious about what the No. 8 villa is like inside. Chen Feng, can you show me around?”

    Chen Feng didn’t want to show her around. He ordered Wu Mengting, “Mengting, you show her around and introduce her. I’ll go take a nap first.”

    When Liu Ying was a little stunned, Wu Mengting smiled and nodded, “Okay, brother.”

    Chen Feng turned to Liu Ying and said, “You can look around with Mengting,” and then went upstairs on his own.

    In the end, Chen Feng did not give Liu Ying special treatment, or rather, he was not particularly concerned about her. Her position in Chen Feng’s heart now was not even as good as Lin Yujiao and Guo Mengyao, let alone Sun Xiaorui and Wu Mengting.

    Seeing Chen Feng leave without any hesitation, Liu Ying couldn’t help but feel a sense of defeat.

    She had thought that this time she had brought him to see her parents, and even if their relationship as boyfriend and girlfriend was not set in stone, it was not much different. At least it should have gone a step further. As a result, Chen Feng was still so indifferent to her. This really made her a little heart-tired.

    She had never pursued a man in her life. This was the first time for Chen Feng. She didn’t know how to truly capture Chen Feng’s heart. It had been proven that her body was not enough. In terms of words and actions, she was already starting to work hard now, but from the current results, it seemed to have no effect on Chen Feng.

    Before, she had confessed, been sentimental, and praised him, but it seemed to have been in vain.

    “Come on, let’s show you the courtyard outside first, especially the backyard. There’s a small garden and a swing.”

    Wu Mengting looked hospitable and led Liu Ying to see the courtyard with a smile.

    Seeing this, Liu Ying could only brace herself, shift her thoughts, and follow the two women, Sun Xiaorui and Wu Mengting, to visit this villa.

    And on Chen Feng’s side, after he went to the practice room on the second floor, he began to sit in meditation and practice, which was also considered a nap. Now, if he sat cross-legged, he could sit for more than an hour without getting tired. At most, his legs would be a little numb, and it would be fine after rubbing them.

    After this period of meditation practice, including during his travels abroad and when he was resting at night, he had been practicing continuously. It seemed that he had finally achieved some results. He felt that his mind seemed to be much clearer than before.

    Of course, this might also be the reason why he had been absorbing the energy of the oracle bones continuously these days.

    However, Chen Feng’s intuition told him that his mind becoming clearer and his thinking becoming more agile should be the effect of long-term meditation.

    Therefore, after Chen Feng returned to the country, if there were no special circumstances, the afternoon would be his time for meditation, browsing his phone, and taking a nap.

    He still wanted to maintain this habit as much as possible. After all, it was related to his health.

    About an hour later, a knock on the door suddenly sounded, waking Chen Feng from his meditation.

    He was now able to enter a state of meditation in a daze. He had a feeling of forgetting himself and the world, and he felt as if his body had disappeared. That feeling was very comfortable. This was also the reason why he had been insisting.

    And when Chen Feng was “resting” in the practice room, he had already told the two women, Sun Xiaorui and Wu Mengting, not to disturb him if there was no emergency.

    The door of the room was locked from the inside, and his phone was also on silent.

    Now that he heard a knock on the door, it must be something urgent.

    So, Chen Feng opened his eyes and shouted to the outside, “What’s the matter?”

    Sure enough, Wu Mengting answered from outside the door, “Brother Tao is here, and Hong Xiaodan is also here.”

    Hearing that these two people had come together, Chen Feng was a little stunned. He had previously thought of throwing this clingy person Hong Xiaodan to Tao Yaoyang. He didn’t expect them to come together today. Had they already hooked up? That would really save him a lot of trouble.

    “Okay, I’ll be right down.”

    After speaking, Chen Feng stood up, squatted down, and rubbed his slightly numb legs. Then he picked up his phone and went downstairs.

    Downstairs in the living room, sure enough, both Tao Yaoyang and Hong Xiaodan were there. In addition, there was a female companion brought by Tao Yaoyang. She looked a little familiar, as if she was a small star, but Chen Feng couldn’t call her name.

    “Brother Tao, I’m sorry. I was taking a nap upstairs, and my phone was on silent. I didn’t see your call.”

    Just as he was going downstairs, Chen Feng looked at his phone. Tao Yaoyang had called him twice.

    “It’s okay.” Tao Yaoyang waved his hand with great demeanor. “I also expected you to be taking a nap, but I still came over on the way. The main thing is that you have been traveling for so long this time. We haven’t seen each other for a long time, so when I knew you were back, I wanted to come over and get together with you right away. Lest you, this big shot, don’t remember me.”

    “How is that possible?” Chen Feng immediately retorted with a look of anger. “I’ll forget anyone but you, Brother Tao.”

    “Haha, that’s good.” Tao Yaoyang said happily, “Not long ago, I heard from Hua Jie that you plan to invest in film and television. It just so happens that I have a film and television project here. It’s a project established by Xingxing Media, a company I have a stake in. It’s adapted from a famous online novel. This novel is very famous online. It cost the company 10 million to buy the TV series adaptation rights of this novel. In addition, the budget for filming and production is 50 million. The total is 60 million. In order to share some of the risks, the company has given out 20 million of the investment share. If you are interested, I can introduce you.”

    After a moment of contemplation, Chen Feng shook his head and said, “It just so happens that during this period, I want to acquire a film and television company and invest in filming a TV series myself. So, let’s forget about investing in other companies’ TV series.”

    “You really plan to acquire a film and television company?” Tao Yaoyang said with some surprise. “I heard from Hua Jie before, and I thought you were just a little interested. To be frank, do you know how deep the water is in the film and television industry? In this industry, if I hadn’t had a solid relationship back then, I wouldn’t have dared to get involved.”

    Chen Feng smiled indifferently and said, “I’m just curious, so I want to give it a try. If I lose, I lose.”

    “Alright! You’re awesome!” Tao Yaoyang said with a look of admiration. “Do you have a suitable acquisition target now? If not, I can ask someone to inquire for you.”

    “There are already three candidates. I’m currently looking for someone to carefully check their background. If there are no problems, I will choose one to acquire.”

    “That’s good. After you acquire the company, if you need any help, you can come to me. Although I don’t have much power in the entertainment industry, I know some people.”

    Chen Feng was not polite and nodded directly, “Then thank you. I will definitely contact you if I need anything.”

    After the two men finished their serious business, Tao Yaoyang invited Chen Feng, “I have already booked a table at Wenhua Ju. Let’s go have a meal together and have a good chat. Everyone will go, it will be more lively with more people.”

    Tao Yaoyang’s invitation was so warm, and he came to invite him in person. It would be bad to refuse.

    However, Chen Feng glanced at the few women on his side and was a little speechless. Including Hong Xiaodan, there were 4 of them, which seemed a bit too many.
