Chapter 257: A Familiar Yet Strange Phone Call

Returning to the practice room upstairs, Chen Feng thought of Sun Xiaorui’s words before, and a feeling of guilt arose in his heart.

Although he had always felt that he had a clear conscience and had not let anyone down.

But he had to admit that he was a bit of a scumbag now. He wanted to sleep with any woman who looked good.

Especially for Wu Mengting, it was very unfair. He neither wanted her to be separated from him, nor did he want to accept her irresponsibly.

It was only because Wu Mengting knew that he had a terminal illness that she had been so tolerant of him. But Chen Feng knew that if he continued like this, she would leave him one day.

As for Sun Xiaorui, although he had agreed to a kept relationship with her from the beginning, after getting along for so long, she must have developed a deep sense of dependence on Chen Feng. Just as she said, she had been ruined by Chen Feng, and it was already impossible for her to leave him.

If Chen Feng abandoned her now, it would be too cruel for her.

But of course, Chen Feng could not give Sun Xiaorui the promise she wanted, to have a happy ending with her in the future.

At present, Chen Feng was very fond of her, but he really hadn’t reached the point of wanting to marry her.

Among all the women around him at present, even if Chen Feng were to remarry in the future, the object could only be this woman, Wu Mengting. There was no second choice.

But the premise was that his terminal illness could be cured.

As for the other women, from a broad perspective, the women he had had relationships with, Chen Feng felt that he was only a little sorry for his ex-wife, and also a little sorry for that little star, Zhang Jingwen.

As for the other women, Chen Feng had no guilty thoughts, because he had been quite good to them, including Xiao Ya, who had been driven away by him in a disguised way. He had given her a breakup fee.

In addition, Lin Yujiao and Guo Mengyao, Chen Feng asked himself that he was also very good to them and had not let them down.

But now that he was living with Sun Xiaorui, his relationship with her was obviously different from that of other women.

And when he was living with her, he still went to find other women openly, which was obviously a bit disrespectful to her. It was no wonder that she had been in a bad mood these few days.

Living together and not living together, the relationship was very different.

Chen Feng had also realized this now, but if he wanted to separate from Sun Xiaorui, it was obviously impossible. Not to mention that Sun Xiaorui could not leave him, he was also a little inseparable from Sun Xiaorui now.

In terms of life and diet, he had gotten used to the meticulous care of the two women, Sun Xiaorui and Wu Mengting. Now they were both indispensable to him.

Before, he had seemed to say lightly that he could let Sun Xiaorui leave voluntarily, but in his heart, he was definitely still unwilling.

Chen Feng reflected carefully in the practice room and felt that he should not provoke women anymore in the future, even if they took the initiative to come to him, he should not provoke them, such as an old classmate like Liu Ying.

Although he had only wanted to play with her from the beginning and had no intention of developing further with her, she didn’t think so. From her current momentum, she really planned to cling to him.

In the future, even if he was confident that he could handle her, he might get into trouble.

So, this kind of thing should not be done again in the future.

After all, he was only one person and one bird. There was no need for too many women. He should pursue quality rather than quantity. Especially long-term f*ck buddies were very unnecessary.

If it was a playful nature like Zhang Yuxi and the French girl Anna, on the premise of ensuring safety, it was not impossible to try one or two if there was a chance. Other things were unnecessary.

After a good “three self-examinations” in the practice room, Chen Feng slowly calmed down and continued to practice the sitting meditation method.

And so, until about 4:30 in the afternoon, Chen Feng finished today’s sitting meditation, slowly stood up, and massaged his slightly numb legs.

After he returned to normal, he took out his phone to check, and then saw a few missed call notifications.

He clicked on it to see, and found that it was a very familiar number, but at this time it was very strange to him.

Because this was his ex-wife Shen Lin’s mobile phone number. He had memorized it by heart a few years ago, but now that he saw it again, he was really surprised and strange. This was very contradictory but also very real.

After hesitating for a while, Chen Feng still called her.

The ringtone only rang for a few seconds before it was answered.

“Is that you?” The familiar yet strange voice on the other end of the phone had a hint of coldness in its tone.

“It’s me,” Chen Feng replied calmly.

“My parents know we’re divorced. They want to see you. Are you willing to come over?” Shen Lin’s tone was still very cold.

Hearing her words, Chen Feng was stunned for a moment, then couldn’t help but ask back, “You haven’t told your parents about our divorce all this time?”

“Just say whether you are willing to come over and meet them. If you are not willing, then forget it.”

Shen Lin’s tone was very bad, and there was a hint of impatience.

Chen Feng was a little uncomfortable in his heart, but in the matter of their divorce, Chen Feng was also largely responsible, and he couldn’t completely blame her.

More importantly, she had married him without minding that he had no car and no house, and it was under the opposition of her parents and family.

Just this point alone could show that she had truly loved him back then. And because of this, Chen Feng had always felt that he owed her something.

So, Chen Feng could only ask helplessly, “What do your parents want to see me for? Do they want to scold me severely, or beat me up?”

“They want an explanation from you. Why did you divorce me? Actually, I want to hear it too.”

Chen Feng frowned and said, “Does this still need an explanation? Before we divorced, what was the situation? Don’t you know? At that time, we had no feelings for each other, and we hadn’t had a married life for several months. More importantly, you were cold and violent to me everywhere at that time. I saw deep disappointment and contempt in your eyes.

“Under that circumstance, isn’t it normal for me to divorce you? What’s more, you must have been thinking about divorcing me for a long time. I took the initiative to bring it up, which really fulfilled your wish.”

“You’re talking nonsense!” Shen Lin said loudly and excitedly, “When did I ever think about divorcing you? What do you mean by fulfilling my wish? It was clearly fulfilling your wish. At that time, our relationship became like that. Wasn’t it the result of your own directing and acting? You just wanted me to be disappointed in you at that time, and then take the initiative to propose a divorce with you, so that you could live happily with that woman. Unfortunately, I never took the initiative to bring it up. In the end, you couldn’t stand it anymore and took the initiative to propose it to me. Chen Feng, you are a bastard, you plotted against me like this.”

Shen Lin’s wild imagination made Chen Feng very speechless.

However, it seemed that she did have a reason to be suspicious. Because in this society now, most of the people who proposed divorce were women, especially when the man was down and out and had no money. Many women would take the initiative to make a fuss with the man, making the family restless, and then divorce.

And so, it was just as the saying goes: Husband and wife are originally birds of the same forest, and they fly their separate ways when disaster strikes.

In real society, women can enjoy happiness with men, but few can share weal and woe with men.

Chen Feng had originally thought that Shen Lin was also this kind of woman. After she saw Chen Feng’s decadence, self-indulgence, and lack of ambition at that time, she was extremely disappointed in him, and then began to quarrel, and then there was cold violence. The purpose was of course to force him to take the initiative to propose a divorce.

But now that he heard Shen Lin’s angry words, under that circumstance at that time, she actually didn’t think about divorcing him.

How was that possible? Chen Feng didn’t believe it.

However, it had been so long since they divorced, and it had long become a fact. There was really no need to argue about this issue anymore.

“Alright, it’s really meaningless to argue now. I can only tell you that things are not as you think. The Wu Mengting you met last time, I have already broken up with her. I haven’t had any substantial relationship with her either. Now she is my god-sister.

“If your parents really want to see me, I will go over and meet them, and I will let them beat me and scold me. Anyway, they have wanted to beat me for a long time. I admit it. In this way, at six o’clock in the evening, at Fumanlou, I’ll treat you. What do you think?”

“…You broke up with that woman?” Shen Lin’s focus was obviously on Wu Mengting.

“Yes,” Chen Feng answered honestly.

“Then are you still… single?” Shen Lin asked again.

“No,” Chen Feng answered honestly again. “I have a live-in girlfriend now, and also a few mistresses.”

There was a dead silence on the phone!

After a long while, Shen Lin’s angry shout was heard, “Chen Feng, go to hell!”

Chen Feng quickly moved the phone away from his ear. When he looked again, the other party had already hung up.

Chen Feng shook his head helplessly. Although he felt guilty towards his ex-wife Shen Lin, he had never thought of remarrying her.

Because when he needed comfort and encouragement the most, Shen Lin had given him quarrels, angry scolding, and belittling, as well as desperate and suffocating cold violence.

At that time, she had deeply hurt his self-esteem as a man and a husband, and also made him doubt their so-called love. From then on, he really no longer believed in any love.

So, no matter how good Shen Lin was, and no matter how much she didn’t dislike him at the beginning, it was also a fact that she had deeply hurt him.

He could find ways to make it up to her in other places, but he would never remarry her.

Chen Feng did not call Shen Lin again. Instead, he planned to do as he had told her before. He first called Fumanlou to book a private room, and then sent a text message to Shen Lin.

As for whether she and her parents would come, Chen Feng didn’t care.

After leaving the room and going downstairs, the two women, Sun Xiaorui and Wu Mengting, were watching a Korean drama in the living room. Seeing Chen Feng come down, they just glanced at him and then continued to stare at the big screen TV.

Chen Feng said to them, “I won’t be eating at home tonight. You don’t have to cook for me.”

“Are you going out again?” Wu Mengting was obviously a little dissatisfied. She sat up straight and looked at him with a bad expression.

Seeing this, Chen Feng quickly explained, “I’m going to see my ex-in-laws. They just found out that I divorced their daughter. I’m going over to explain to them.”

“How is that possible? You divorced last year, and they only found out now?” Wu Mengting didn’t believe it.

Chen Feng said with a bitter smile, “My ex-wife never told them. In addition… they were very opposed to my marriage with my ex-wife at that time. After we got married, we haven’t been in much contact.”

Only then did Wu Mengting believe him a little. She asked with some worry, “Then if you go to see them, won’t it be dangerous? Maybe they will beat you and scold you.”

Chen Feng said helplessly, “There’s no way. I have to see them. If they really want to beat me and scold me, I have to take it. I owe them.”

“That’s not okay!” Wu Mengting quickly said, “It’s not your fault for the divorce. Why should they beat you and scold you? Why don’t I go with you?”

Hearing this, Chen Feng couldn’t help but look at her speechlessly. If she went with him, it would only add fuel to the fire.

“Forget it, you should just stay at home. Bringing you along will only be counterproductive.”

Wu Mengting thought about it carefully and agreed, but she still reminded him with some worry, “After you go over, if they really want to beat you, don’t just stand there and let them beat you. At worst, you can just leave.”

“Alright. I know. You guys stay at home. I’m going out now.”

“Be careful.”

After Chen Feng nodded, he walked towards the door.

After Chen Feng went out, Sun Xiaorui, who had been silent all this time, asked with some curiosity, “Mengting, do you know about Brother Feng and his ex-wife?”

Wu Mengting nodded with a hint of pride, “I know a little. I’ve also met his ex-wife. I have to say, his ex-wife is quite good-looking. It’s a pity that she was a little short-sighted and couldn’t live a good life with my brother for a long time. She chose to leave him when he was at his lowest, and gave up halfway. It can only be said that she has bad luck.”

“Then do you think his ex-wife is thinking of remarrying him now?” Sun Xiaorui asked with some worry.

Wu Mengting hadn’t thought of this before. Now that she was reminded, she was stunned for a moment, and then she said with great confidence, “My brother will not remarry her.”

But Sun Xiaorui shook her head and said, “That’s not necessarily true. Although I’m not very clear about the relationship between Brother Feng and his ex-wife, I know that Brother Feng must have loved her before. So, if this woman regrets it now and wants to eat the grass she turned back on, it’s very likely that their feelings will be rekindled.”

“Impossible.” Wu Mengting also shook her head and said firmly, “My brother is not that easily moved, let alone a superficial person. He will definitely not eat the grass he turned back on.”

Seeing Wu Mengting say this, Sun Xiaorui could only believe it for the time being, but she still couldn’t help but feel a little worried in her heart.

If Chen Feng remarried his ex-wife in the future, then she would become a proper mistress, and it was very likely that she would be abandoned.

Of course, Chen Feng didn’t know Sun Xiaorui’s worries. He drove to EO6 to have a look. At this time, the villa had been cleaned up. Chen Feng directly took out the key and opened the door to go in. Then he saw Liu Ying busy in the kitchen.

Seeing that it was Chen Feng, Liu Ying was very happy and quickly came out of the kitchen.

Before she could speak, Chen Feng put the key to the villa on the coffee table and said to her, “This is the key to this place, the main door, the garage, and the room keys are all here. I have something urgent to go out, so I’ll leave first.”

Liu Ying said with a disappointed face, “I’m cooking. Why don’t you stay and eat with me? You can leave after you finish eating.”

“Forget it, next time.”

Chen Feng waved his hand without looking back and strode out of the door.

Liu Ying’s heart was filled with disappointment again. It made her feel that it was a long and arduous task to tie Chen Feng’s heart.

After Chen Feng delivered the key, he drove directly to Fumanlou. When he sat down in the private room, it was almost 5:30, not far from the appointed time of 6:00.
