Chapter 265: Reunion at the Lakeside

“Neither of you are Qin Zhen’s ideal type. It’s just that he’s indecisive in his feelings. He didn’t break up with you cleanly, and the lingering feelings caused the current situation. In my opinion, it’s better to take this opportunity and have a showdown with each other. Qin Zhen, who do you like more between the two of them, and who do you want to be with? Or you can just take this opportunity to make it clear to both of them and break up peacefully.”

After Chen Feng finished speaking, everyone looked at Qin Zhen, waiting for his reply.

Qin Zhen’s scalp tingled from being stared at. He said with a sad face, “I… I haven’t decided yet.”

Wang Xuelin suddenly stood up from the sofa and said loudly with tears on her face, “I’ve decided. I’m quitting. I’ll let you two adulterers be together.”

After Wang Xuelin finished speaking, she walked quickly towards the door. After a moment of stunned, Qin Zhen quickly went up and reached out to pull her, but was thrown off by her.

“Xuelin, wait a minute. Let’s have a good talk.”

As Qin Zhen spoke, he was about to pull her again, but Wang Xuelin directly slapped him in the face. Fortunately, Qin Zhen reacted quickly enough and quickly leaned back to avoid it. He was not hit, but he let go of her hand.

Wang Xuelin glared at Qin Zhen with hatred and turned to leave.

It was not until a loud bang, when the door was slammed shut, that the few people in the room reacted.

“So uneducated!” Ning Wei complained loudly.

Qin Zhen had a bitter smile on his face.

Chen Feng patted Qin Zhen’s shoulder and said with a serious face, “Don’t blame me. You were the one who asked me to help.”

Qin Zhen said with a bitter smile, “I can only blame myself. You’re right. I’m a little indecisive in my feelings.”

Chen Feng complained to him in the Lushi dialect, “You’re not indecisive. You want to have both. You want both. You’re promiscuous.”

Qin Zhen was embarrassed and speechless.

“Alright, I’m leaving. Don’t come to me for this kind of mess in the future.”

After Chen Feng finished speaking, he turned and left. Wu Mengting, who had been silent from beginning to end, quickly followed.

Qin Zhen opened his mouth to call out, but he didn’t know what to say for a moment. He could only watch as Chen Feng and the other person went out and then closed the door.

Only Ning Wei and he were left in the room. After a moment of silence, Ning Wei said, “What are you going to do now? Are we considered to be back together?”

Qin Zhen frowned slightly, made up his mind, and said, “I’m sorry, Ning Wei. I can’t be indecisive anymore. Chen Feng is right. Neither you nor Xuelin are suitable for me, and I’m not suitable for you either. So…”

“Alright!” Ning Wei interrupted him loudly, “If we’re not getting back together, then we’re not getting back together. I didn’t ask you to get back together. You’re a bastard! A scumbag!”

Ning Wei was also very angry. She immediately went back to her room to change into her own clothes and left in a huff.

After Chen Feng and Wu Mengting came out of the building, Wu Mengting complained to him, “Qin Zhen is also quite a scumbag. He has clearly broken up with Ning Wei, but he’s still like this. Is he trying to have it both ways?”

Chen Feng said with a smile, “He’s a person who doesn’t know how to refuse women. When he was in school, he often changed girlfriends. As long as that girl could catch his eye, he would accept anyone. So, although he is also responsible for this matter, I think most of the responsibility should be on Ning Wei.”

“You just know how to speak for him.”

“I’m just being realistic.”

“No wonder you are good friends. You are both equally promiscuous.”

Chen Feng could only choose to remain silent.

Without a word, they returned to the No. 8 villa. Chen Feng went directly to the practice room and continued to practice the sitting meditation.

Anyway, after practicing for this period of time, he felt that it was quite good, so he persisted.

Time passed quickly. It was not until he had almost finished eating that Chen Feng came out of the room.

During the meal, Wu Mengting brought up Qin Zhen’s matter again. She and Sun Xiaorui echoed each other, saying that Qin Zhen was promiscuous, which made Chen Feng a little embarrassed. He always felt that they were pointing at the mulberry tree and cursing the locust tree, but he couldn’t say anything.

Fortunately, Sun Xiaorui still gave him face. She mainly played the role of a supporting role. After cooperating with Wu Mengting to criticize Qin Zhen, she took the initiative to change the subject and said, “Last time when we were buying an office building, didn’t we meet a female college student? At the Guomao Building, we also had a buffet together, and then we got to know her. I added her on WeChat at that time, and we have been in contact. She usually contacts me. Today, she suddenly asked me if I had any work to introduce to her, even odd jobs. I didn’t know how to reply to her for a moment. Can you give me some advice?”

Wu Mengting asked, “Are you on good terms with her now?”

Sun Xiaorui shook her head, “Not really. We’ve only known each other for a month or two, and we’ve only met once. But we chat well on WeChat. We chat every few days.”

“Then I have no opinion. You have to decide this yourself. But do you have any good work to introduce to her?”

Sun Xiaorui looked at Chen Feng and said with a smile, “Of course I don’t have any good work to introduce to her, but Brother Feng definitely does. This little girl is very smart. She should have figured this out from the beginning.”

Chen Feng spread his hands, “What good work can I introduce to her?”

Wu Mengting reminded, “If you really want to introduce, you definitely have. For example, if you ask Qin Zhen, Brother Tao, and Cai Zhixin to help, it’s just a matter of a phone call.”

Chen Feng looked at Sun Xiaorui and asked, “Is this little girl worth me spending a favor to help her?”

Hearing this, Sun Xiaorui was a little conflicted and didn’t know how to answer for a moment. In her heart, she was of course inclined to help this little girl who had a good impression on her, but it seemed not worth it to ask Chen Feng to sell a favor.

Wu Mengting said with a smile, “You don’t have to be too conflicted. Aren’t we going to acquire a film and television company next? Won’t it be very easy to put a person in then?”

As soon as she said this, Chen Feng and the other person remembered this matter, and smiles appeared on their faces.

Sun Xiaorui immediately clapped her hands and said, “That’s just right. This little girl is from Xiuzhou University. She is at least a first-tier university student, and her major is administrative management. It should be no problem for her to be an administrative assistant in our company.”

Chen Feng nodded and said, “Then there’s no problem. Anyway, our company will definitely be recruiting people then. She is barely our acquaintance, so we can give her a spot. However, you have to make it clear to her first that the company is not yet settled. It may take a few days at the shortest, or a few months at the longest.”

Sun Xiaorui said with a smile, “Of course she understands this. Anyway, she is only a junior now, and she is not in a hurry to find a job.”

“That’s fine.”

After finishing this matter, the three of them didn’t say much more and finished their meal in a harmonious atmosphere. As usual, they went to wash the dishes together, and Chen Feng lay on the sofa in the living room to watch TV. He mainly watched the news to understand the current affairs at home and abroad.

A seemingly calm and ordinary day passed just like that.

The next morning, it started to rain. Chen Feng did not go out for a run, but ran three kilometers on the treadmill and did ten sets of burpees.

After the morning exercise, he went upstairs to take a shower, and then went downstairs for breakfast.

Chen Feng told the two women that he was going to meet an old classmate today, and he might not be back for lunch or dinner.

Wu Mengting asked him directly if he was going on a date with Liu Ying, and Chen Feng immediately denied it.

Seeing this, Wu Mengting didn’t ask any more questions. Of course, Sun Xiaorui had no right to ask.

After breakfast, Chen Feng drove to the airport. When he arrived at the airport, it was only ten o’clock. He arrived more than an hour early.

Anyway, he had a mobile phone, and the data plan was more than enough. Chen Feng started to browse his phone in the airport waiting hall. An hour passed without him noticing.

Guo Mengyao’s flight arrived on time. Chen Feng stood at the agreed exit and waited for her. Not long after, he saw her pulling a suitcase with one hand and holding a five or six-year-old girl with the other.

She was wearing a beige polka-dot retro round-neck shirt, a black straight-leg pants, and a pair of canvas shoes on her feet, which was simple and fashionable.

Looking at her relaxed expression, she looked even more comfortable.

Chen Feng waved at her and greeted her as he walked over.

Guo Mengyao opened her arms gracefully, looked at him with a smile, and waited for his embrace.

But Chen Feng didn’t let go at once. He ignored her and instead squatted down to greet the little girl who was looking at him with curiosity, “Hello, what’s your name?”

The little girl didn’t answer and turned to look at Guo Mengyao.

Guo Mengyao had to put down her open arms, composed herself, and introduced to Chen Feng, “Her nickname is Xixi. Xixi, this is your Uncle Chen Feng, your mother’s classmate and good friend. Quickly call him uncle.”

Only then did the little girl weakly call out “Uncle” to Chen Feng.

Chen Feng was very happy and reached out to gently touch her head, saying with a smile, “Good girl. I’ll take you to have a good time these few days, and I’ll also buy you some toys as gifts. What’s your favorite gift?”

The little girl immediately answered happily, “Princess Elsa.”

“Okay, then I’ll take you to buy Princess Elsa now, and then I’ll treat you to a meal, okay?”

“Okay.” The little girl immediately agreed loudly, and a smile appeared on her face.

Guo Mengyao, who was watching from the side, said with a teasing smile, “Chen Feng, you’re good. You bought my daughter with just a few words.”

Chen Feng replied with a smile, “This is necessary.”

After speaking, Chen Feng went to pull the suitcase, led the way, and greeted them to go together.

After getting into the car, Guo Mengyao asked, “Did you tell Mengting that I’m coming this time?”

“No.”

“Hehe, I knew you wouldn’t say it. Otherwise, she would definitely be jealous. But you can’t keep it from her forever. I plan to stay here for at least five or six days this time. You have to accompany me 24/7.”

“Is it necessary to accompany you 24/7? You have your daughter with you.”

“No,” Guo Mengyao said firmly. “We haven’t seen each other for so long. And after this gathering, I think we’ll have to wait until the National Day at least. It’s not too much for me to ask you to spend these few days with me, right?”

Chen Feng could only say, “I’ll try my best to accompany you during the day. At night, it depends on the situation. You can’t need me to accompany you every night, right?”

“Of course. It’s rare for me to come. Of course, I have to eat my fill at once,” Guo Mengyao said with a smile on her lips. “You can’t be lazy. You have to try your best to satisfy me these few days. Otherwise, you’d better be careful that I find other men.”

Damn it!

Chen Feng was impressed by her. Her daughter was still next to her. Wasn’t she afraid that her daughter would understand?

“Alright, alright. Your daughter is right next to you. I can only say I’ll try my best.”

“What does she know?” Guo Mengyao glanced at her daughter next to her with a guilty conscience. Seeing that she was focused on looking out the window and probably didn’t understand, she was relieved.

Chen Feng first took them to a shopping mall and bought a big Princess Elsa doll for Xixi, the kind that could sing and light up. She immediately hugged it and wouldn’t let go, and successfully won the little girl’s heart.

Then, Chen Feng took them to Fumanlou for a meal, which made both mother and daughter very satisfied.

After that, Chen Feng took them back to the Lakeside Villa by the East Lake.

After entering the courtyard of this villa, Guo Mengyao exclaimed in excitement, looking around. After coming to the balcony on the second floor and looking at the sparkling East Lake not far away, she said even more excitedly, “Chen Feng, you helped me realize my dream. I used to dream of having such a villa by the East Lake, but now you have one. Haha, in the future, I will definitely come to stay often.”

Seeing her happy, Chen Feng was also happy. He said with a smile, “You can stay here as long as you want. You are always welcome here.”

“You’re so good.”

Guo Mengyao gave Chen Feng a charming look with her watery eyes, which made his heart flutter.

Unfortunately, her daughter Xixi was sitting on the side playing with her Princess Elsa.

The two of them seemed to have a telepathic connection. Guo Mengyao immediately greeted her daughter, “Xixi, mommy will take you to take a shower, and then have a good nap.”

“Alright.”

Xixi agreed reluctantly and was led to take a shower by Guo Mengyao.

Chen Feng did not go downstairs, but went to the bedroom behind and waited patiently.

About half an hour later, Guo Mengyao, wearing only a set of pajamas, tiptoed to open the door and walked over quickly.

Before Chen Feng could react, he was directly pushed down by her…

“I’m going to be killed by you.” Guo Mengyao reached out and gently pinched his arm.

“How did I kill you?” Chen Feng looked innocent.

“You’re a donkey, don’t you understand? After tasting the delicacies of the mountains and seas, I’m not used to plain tea and simple food.”

Hearing her meaning, Chen Feng said with a teasing smile, “That’s right. It’s really rare for us to be so compatible. If I had known earlier, I wouldn’t have missed you in high school.”

“Still talking about high school. You were a blockhead back then. Fortunately, we met again. God has been good to me.”

“Haha, I think so too. Since the divorce, God seems to be taking special care of me.”

“That’s right. Without God’s care, you wouldn’t be so carefree now. Tell me, how many women do you have now?”

“Why are you asking this? Isn’t it a buzzkill?”

“It’s not a buzzkill. I’m just curious.”

“Alright. It’s about time. You should go and accompany your daughter. She will cry if she wakes up alone.”

“She won’t…”

As soon as she finished speaking, Xixi’s crying sounded, which scared Guo Mengyao so much that she quickly got out of bed and answered loudly while putting on her clothes.

Chen Feng watched her run out wearing only her underwear and couldn’t help but grin.
