Chapter 269: You Have to Trust My Character

Wu Mengting was very good, and she was Chen Feng’s ideal woman and wife.

But now, to make him give up the whole forest for her, he couldn’t do it.

“This is not me talking nonsense. Otherwise, tell me, what is the reason for my condition improving now?”

Chen Feng threw the question to Wu Mengting.

She thought hard for a while, but she really couldn’t think of any specific reason. And it seemed that what Chen Feng said was also a bit reasonable. The main reason why many cancer patients died prematurely was that they did not have a good mentality and an optimistic and positive spirit, so they were scared to death or worried to death by themselves.

On the contrary, those who faced it positively and maintained an optimistic and cheerful mood after learning that they had a terminal illness, not to mention that a miracle happened and they were cured later, but many of them lived longer.

There are examples of these.

Seeing that she didn’t answer, Chen Feng continued, “You see, you can’t think of a specific reason either. In my opinion, it’s because my luck with women has become better, which has made my mood better. A good mood has affected my health, and my condition has improved. The principle is that simple.”

“Your reason is a bit too far-fetched. I’ll give you two months at most, otherwise I’ll really leave you. After all, I’m also a person with flesh and blood and feelings. I can’t just watch you flirt with other women and be intimate with them. Sister Rui is already my greatest tolerance for you, but you are one after another, endlessly. What do you want me to think?”

Chen Feng could only explain with some embarrassment, “Xiaorui was with me before you. What’s more, she has always been very well-behaved and has self-knowledge. Although I have some feelings for her, it’s more of a practical business relationship. Our relationship can be terminated at any time, and she herself is very clear about this. As for other women, which one do you see me living with for a long time?”

Chen Feng’s words were not false. Except for Sun Xiaorui, who lived with him for a long time, the other women were at most on a vacation basis. They were only together for a period of time, and there was no plan to live together for a long time.

Moreover, Chen Feng had already made up his mind not to develop other women for a long time, at most it was just for fun.

So, in this matter, Chen Feng spoke with confidence.

“I don’t care what you’re doing now. I just ask you to settle down immediately after you’ve had enough fun, and then be wholeheartedly devoted to me. If you can’t do this, I… I will be very disappointed in you, and we may not have a future. At that time, I will admit defeat and take the initiative to disappear in front of you.”

Chen Feng immediately requested again, “Then give me another year, okay? My intuition tells me that maybe my illness will be cured in a year. At that time, a completely healthy me can truly be worthy of you.”

Wu Mengting was silent for a long time.

When the car was about to reach the Lakeside Villa, she slowly said, “Then let’s decide this deadline based on your condition. But the longest can’t exceed half a year. In this half a year, if your condition continues to improve, I have no objection. If in half a year, your condition repeatedly shows signs of deterioration, you must immediately and unconditionally clear your relationship with other women, and then give me the rest of your time. Is that okay?”

Although Chen Feng felt that half a year was a bit short, he also knew that Wu Mengting could not make any more concessions.

So, he agreed very simply, “Alright then. Half a year is half a year. Maybe my illness will be cured in half a year, and I don’t need a year at all.”

Wu Mengting said in a serious tone, “Remember our agreement this time. Half a year, starting from today. You must keep your word then.”

Although Chen Feng didn’t want to make a promise in his heart, since the matter had come to this point, it would be unreasonable not to make one.

Such an outstanding and beautiful woman followed him wholeheartedly. Even if he had some money now, so what? There were many people in the world who were richer than him.

What’s more, Chen Feng felt that she should be his true love. At least compared to other women, she was not so materialistic. He was not young now. If he wanted to start a family, Wu Mengting was undoubtedly the most suitable person for him at present.

Choosing her as his future other half was the result of Chen Feng’s comprehensive comparison over such a long period of time, which was very realistic and rational.

Starting a family or remarrying was no longer a result of the accumulation of feelings for Chen Feng, but a rational consideration out of human social instinct.

Among all the women of the opposite sex he knew at present, Wu Mengting was undoubtedly the best choice.

“Yes, I will definitely remember. Don’t worry. At that time, I will keep my word and give you a satisfactory result.”

In the end, Chen Feng still gave himself a little insurance and did not directly lock his promise. In these words, “a satisfactory result for you” did not necessarily mean being with her, let alone getting married.

How could Wu Mengting know Chen Feng’s little thoughts? On the contrary, she was very happy and raised the phone in her hand, saying with a smile, “You have to remember your words. I have already recorded them. If you go back on your word then, I will directly send this recording to your mother and let her make the decision for me.”

Chen Feng said with some speechlessness, “If you don’t trust me, do you think a recording will be useful to me? If I really want to go back on my word then, you can’t do anything to me. So, this matter still depends on my character. You have to trust my character.”

“Of course I trust your character, but I trust the evidence more,” Wu Mengting raised her phone again.

Chen Feng said helplessly, “Alright, as you like.”

As they spoke, the car had already arrived at the Lakeside Villa. After parking the car, they got out and entered the door. Then they saw Guo Mengyao and her daughter playing in the yard.

“Where have you been? I sent you a WeChat message but you didn’t reply?”

Guo Mengyao questioned Chen Feng with resentment.

“I went to the hospital,” Wu Mengting answered matter-of-factly. “My brother was not feeling well, so I took him to the hospital for a check-up.”

“Ah, where is he not feeling well? Has the test result come out?” Guo Mengyao immediately asked with concern.

Wu Mengting said calmly, “He has high blood lipids, fatty liver, and his blood sugar is also a little high. So, he still has to continue to lose weight and exercise.”

Her words were not false. When Chen Feng had a check-up before, he had been diagnosed with these problems, but now the situation had greatly improved. At least this time when he went for a check-up, he was not diagnosed with fatty liver, and his blood sugar was also relatively normal. He still had a little high blood lipids.

“I see. You scared me. Then there should be no problem. Just pay attention to exercise and lose weight in the future.”

“About right. The main thing is to control the diet. If he has to accompany you to eat out these few days, don’t order those high-fat and high-calorie foods.”

Guo Mengyao immediately agreed, “Okay, I’ll pay attention. Then, while there’s still some time, why don’t we take a sightseeing car around the lake? We won’t walk.”

“I have no objection,” Chen Feng said and looked at Wu Mengting.

Wu Mengting looked at the time. It was almost four in the afternoon. There was indeed still some time, so she also agreed.

However, this detail made Guo Mengyao frown slightly. When did Chen Feng have to look at Wu Mengting’s expression to act?

The four of them went out again. Then they waited on the embankment. Not long after, an electric sightseeing car around the lake appeared. The four of them bought tickets and got on.

Taking this kind of sightseeing car was like looking at flowers on horseback. Although it was not as detailed and impressive as walking step by step, it was indeed much more convenient and labor-saving.

It took about an hour to go around the lake. At this time, the lights were just on. The three of them went to a relatively well-known local restaurant for dinner. To take care of Chen Feng’s health, they didn’t order too many meat dishes. Vegetarian dishes accounted for more than half, but everyone ate with relish.

After eating, they didn’t stroll around anymore. After sending Guo Mengyao and her daughter back to the Lakeside Villa, Chen Feng and Wu Mengting left.

In fact, of course, Guo Mengyao hoped that Chen Feng could stay. Chen Feng also wanted to, but because Wu Mengting was there, it was not good for Chen Feng to do so. After all, she was his future designated girlfriend and even wife. It was not good to stay with another woman in front of her.

Not long after returning to the No. 8 villa, Chen Feng received a WeChat message from Guo Mengyao: “I hope you can come and accompany me tonight.”

This was very direct.

Chen Feng was not pretentious and immediately replied, “It depends on the situation. I’ll try my best to go.”

“Okay, I’ll wait for you.”

Seeing this sentence, Chen Feng’s heart suddenly felt itchy.

He first accompanied the two women in the living room to watch TV and chatted for a while. Then Chen Feng went upstairs to take a shower, and then Chen Feng went down again.

When the two women went upstairs to their rooms, it was already almost ten o’clock.

This time passed really fast.

“I’m going out for a while. I might not be back tonight.”

Just as Sun Xiaorui returned to her room, Chen Feng got up from the bed, took off his pajamas, put on his clothes, and then said this.

Sun Xiaorui was a little uncomfortable in her heart, but she couldn’t say anything against it. She could only remind, “Then be careful and pay attention to safety.”

After Chen Feng agreed, he quickly put on his clothes and rushed out the door.

Of course, he went to Guo Mengyao’s place.

The next day, Wu Mengting did not come to accompany them. And Chen Feng had slept directly at the Lakeside Villa last night. She must have known. Since she did not ask or say anything, it was equivalent to acquiescing.

So, this day, Chen Feng took Guo Mengyao and her daughter to play around the East Lake again, just like a happy family of three. They took a lot of photos during this period. They took a lot of group photos of the three of them, which made Guo Mengyao very satisfied.

This day, without Wu Mengting’s company, Guo Mengyao and her daughter undoubtedly had a happier time.

This day, Chen Feng continued to stay at the Lakeside Villa and lived with Guo Mengyao.

It was not until noon on the third day that Chen Feng received a message from Wu Mengting, saying that the asset appraisal report of Dianchuang Culture Company had come out.

According to the current market conditions and the situation of operating in debt, this report clearly pointed out that the current market value of Dianchuang Culture did not exceed 100 million. Over 100 million was considered an overestimation. This included the company’s remaining lease of more than two years, which was worth more than 20 million according to the current market conditions.

It also listed the company’s equity structure and the basic information and contact information of each shareholder.

After reading this report, Chen Feng was quite satisfied. He immediately asked Wu Mengting to contact the other shareholders besides Liu Meijun.

There were four in total. Among them, what was more interesting was that the original general manager, Cao Kun, who had been fired, still had 5% of the company’s shares. This was a reward from the company’s board of directors after he became the general manager. Originally, he only had the right to dividends, but later he used his position and was good at bluffing, so he spent some money to directly secure these 5% of the shares and became one of the real shareholders of Dianchuang Culture.

Among the other three shareholders, one was similar to Liu Meijun. She was a rich wife, a rich woman, and owned 3% of the shares. She was a real small shareholder. The remaining two, one was a relative of the previous boss, and the other was a friend of the previous boss. These last two had the most shares, each with 7%.

Now that Dianchuang Culture’s operating conditions were not good, of course, all four of them were thinking of finding a successor. Even Cao Kun was no exception. It could even be said that he was the most eager of the few. Because he was no longer the general manager of Dianchuang Culture, and he had been investigated by the economic police before, and had also been sued by Liu Meijun. His wife had also divorced him because she found out that he had an affair, and had asked for a division of property. In the end, the two of them did not reach an agreement and finally resorted to the court.

The two lawsuits were going on at the same time, which consumed a lot of his energy. At the same time, because he had to hire a good lawyer to help him fight the lawsuit, he also spent a lot of money.

These two lawsuits had been going on from last year to this year. The lawsuit for malfeasance in office had allowed him to escape conviction by a hair’s breadth, but he was also fined hundreds of thousands. As for the divorce lawsuit, because he had cheated and the evidence was conclusive, when the couple’s property was divided, he only got about 40% of the property, including the villa they were living in now, which was given to his ex-wife.

In addition, he had kept a third and fourth mistress outside these few years, and from time to time he would go to high-end clubs to spend money, which all required a lot of money.

This caused his assets to shrink sharply.

Then, what made him even more unlucky was that he listened to a so-called inside information from an old friend, took out most of his savings to buy a stock, and then was trapped. The stock fell by the limit for more than half a month, which made him directly doubt his life.

His personal property had shrunk severely because of this, so he was in urgent need of cashing out the shares of Dianchuang Culture.

When Wu Mengting contacted him and told him that she was interested in acquiring the shares of Dianchuang Culture in his hands, Cao Kun was immediately excited and said that there was no problem. He couldn’t wait to meet her to discuss in detail.

Wu Mengting didn’t know the bad relationship between Chen Feng and this person. Chen Feng hadn’t told her before. She just routinely arranged to meet Cao Kun at a certain cafe at noon tomorrow.

The reactions of the other three small shareholders were actually similar. But when they heard that someone was interested in the shares of Dianchuang Culture in their hands, they all immediately said that they could meet and talk.

Guo Mengyao also arranged a time and place to meet with them one by one.

After finishing this matter, Wu Mengting reported to Chen Feng via WeChat.

Chen Feng was quite satisfied with this and asked her to go with him to meet those shareholders tomorrow.

Chen Feng then told Guo Mengyao about this matter. Guo Mengyao was very interested and said that she could go with him tomorrow.

Guo Mengyao was a successful female boss after all. With her accompanying him to the negotiation, of course Chen Feng had no objection and agreed.
