"I often think of what you said to me on the top of the mountain in my hometown. You said that given you three years, you would definitely let me live in my own house. Judging from the current results, you seem to have done it. But it didn’t quite happen.”
Shen Lin's words reminded Chen Feng of the scene when he and her were on the top of the mountain in his hometown.
That time they went back to his hometown to hold a banquet to get married. The scene was either very lively or they hired a chef at his hometown and set up several tables of wedding banquets.
The congratulators were all relatives and friends from Chen Feng's parents' side, and the friends and classmates from Chen Feng's hometown were basically not congratulated. The main reason was that Chen Feng had no personal relationships with most of his classmates.
In addition, the main thing is that none of the bride Shen Lin's natal family came over. The reason is of course that her parents are firmly opposed to their marriage.
But she was still determined to marry Chen Feng.
The wedding banquet at that time was very dull, not lively at all, and there was almost no festive atmosphere.
Therefore, at that time, Chen Feng felt very indebted to Shen Lin and felt sorry for her.
The day after the wedding banquet, the two of them were actually not in a good mood, so Chen Feng took her to the mountains in his hometown to relax.
There are many hills in my hometown, and each of them is not very high. The nearest hill to the town is only less than 100 meters above sea level. It is a place where Chen Feng often played when he was a child.
That time, Chen Feng took her up to the top of this hill, where he and she enjoyed the scenery and chatted for a long time.
There were so many details that Chen Feng couldn't remember clearly, but he still knew the general content. The main thing was to ensure that he would buy her a house in Xiuzhou in the future so that she could live a happy life.
It's a pity that God's will plays a trick on people. After getting married, Chen Feng began to have bad luck. There was no progress at work and career. Instead, he was trapped, and he felt helpless like a dragon trapped in a shoal.
Following the difficulties in work and career, even the relationship between husband and wife began to suffer. In the last year before the divorce, the torture of the cold war between them made Chen Feng even more exhausted physically and mentally.
It wasn't until he was diagnosed with cancer that it finally broke out and broke all the tangible and invisible shackles in his body, including work, emotions, and life.
As a result, he seemed to have completely let go of himself and completely given up on himself, but instead he was given a new lease of life.
Now, as if he had been reborn from Nirvana, he was a new person, with a new way of life and attitude towards life.
"Let bygones be bygones."
In the end, Chen Feng could only sigh like this.
He feels indebted to Shen Lin, but that doesn't mean he has to get back together with her.
"But now I always think of the things we used to be together. How can we let it go?"
Shen Lin looked at him sideways, her eyes full and complicated.
Chen Feng still couldn't bear it, so he said: "It's a bit cold standing here, let's go down."
After saying that, Chen Feng turned around and was about to walk downstairs, but was held back by Shen Lin.
"I want to talk to you about the past things again, is that okay?"
Shen Lin raised her head slightly and looked at him expectantly.
But this time Chen Feng shook his head and refused without any hesitation: "Shen Lin, I made it very clear to you last time. It is no longer possible between us. If you still want to be my friend, you have to Keep an appropriate distance from me. Otherwise, we may not be friends."
A trace of pain flashed in Shen Lin's eyes, but she quickly covered it up, took the initiative to let go of his hand, and said with a wry smile: "I know it's impossible between us, but I still want to be your friend. As a friend , I want to have a heart-to-heart talk with you, can’t you?”
Chen Feng spread his hands and said: "Our current relationship is destined to be impossible to talk to each other. You have found the wrong person."
"Aren't we friends?" Shen Lin asked angrily.
"They are friends, but not heart-to-heart friends." Chen Feng answered frankly.
Shen Lin couldn't help feeling depressed when she heard this, and said dissatisfiedly: "Although we are divorced, we have known each other for so many years, and there shouldn't be any hatred between us? Why can't we be heart-to-heart friends?"
Chen Fengli said calmly: "It is precisely because we are divorced and I don't want you to misunderstand, and you don't want me to misunderstand, that we can't talk."
Speaking of this, Chen Feng paused for a moment and then said seriously: "Shen Lin, I know you haven't given up on me yet. Then I will tell you the fact that I am now the father of two children, and these two The mother of this child is not Wu Mengting and Sun Xiaorui. Do you know what this means?
Therefore, it is completely impossible for us to have anything to do with each other now, so please stop trying to get my idea. You are still young, you are beautiful, you have a good job, and you have not given birth yet. There are plenty of good men for you to choose from. .You can completely abandon the unpleasantness of the past and start your own life again. Just like me now, I have started my own new life and live very comfortably. I don’t want to and cannot go back to the previous life state. hope you could understand."
Chen Feng had already told her last time, but this time he had to say it again to make her give up on him completely.
After Shen Lin was silent for a while, she said somewhat self-deprecatingly: "I have not completely given up on you. After all, we loved each other deeply at the beginning. At least I loved you deeply. Otherwise, I would not have ignored my parents' firm objections and got married." You. But you have said so now. No matter how shamelessly I insist on pestering you, that is not my style. Meeting you again this time is a complete surprise for me. I thought you still cared. Mine, I have mine in my heart. It seems like this is just my illusion?"
Chen Feng immediately nodded ruthlessly: "Yes, this must be an illusion. I just regard you as a special friend now. Seeing that you are in danger tonight, of course I can't ignore it, so I went to find you and take you away." Let's go. It's as simple as that, but I don't mean to have any lingering feelings for you."
Shen Lin smiled bitterly and shook her head, not knowing what to say.
"I've said everything I need to say, so it's time to go downstairs now, right?"
Chen Feng asked.
Shen Lin looked at him with a complicated expression and said, "You are indeed completely different from before, and you feel very strange to me now."
"It's okay to be strangers." Chen Feng once again maintained his frankness, "We have been separated for more than a year. During this period, I have experienced a lot, and my outlook on life, values, and world have changed a lot. People naturally change. It has to be different from before.”
Shen Lin was speechless again.
At this time, Wu Mengting's voice suddenly sounded at the door: "You are here. Let us find it easier."
The two looked for the sound and saw Wu Mengting and Sun Xiaorui walking towards them from the door and standing on the rooftop together.
"We were just about to go down. What are you doing up here?"
Chen Feng frowned slightly and asked a little unhappy.
The performance of these two women tonight made Chen Feng a little dissatisfied.
Although it was wrong for him to bring his ex-wife here, he had already called them in advance and specifically told Wu Mengting not to cause trouble or have an argument with Shen Lin.
As a result, when the two met before, Wu Mengting's words were full of gun and stick, which seemed very unfriendly and not the way to treat guests at all.
Now Wu Mengting and Wu Mengting were looking for them again, which made Chen Feng feel even more unhappy.
"We wanted to talk to Ms. Shen alone, so we came here."
Wu Mengting said calmly.
Chen Feng frowned and asked, "Okay, what do you want to say to Shen Lin? Can't you say it in front of me?"
Wu Mengting said confidently: "This is a conversation between us women, so you don't need to participate."
After Chen Feng hesitated slightly, he looked at Shen Lin and asked, "Shen Lin, do you want to talk to them?"
Shen Lin shook her head and refused, saying, "I have nothing to talk about with them."
Wu Mengting narrowed her eyes slightly, stared at Shen Lin, and said slightly provocatively: "What? Don't you dare to talk to us?"
Shen Lin said indifferently: "I'm not familiar with you, and you are obviously hostile to me in your heart. What can you talk to me about? What's there to talk about?"
Wu Mengting said: "Of course we are talking about Chen Feng. You are his ex-wife and I am her current girlfriend. I think we have many topics in common."
After hearing this, Shen Lin looked at her squarely. After looking her up and down, she asked: "Do you really want to talk to me about Chen Feng? I am his ex-wife and have lived with him for seven or eight years. Are you sure that when the time comes? Will you feel comfortable when I talk about my past love affair with Chen Feng?"
Wu Mengting smiled slightly and said: "My heart is not as fragile as you imagine."
Shen Lin nodded slowly and said, "Okay, if you must talk to me, I will talk to you."
"Okay, let's go downstairs to my room and have a good chat."
Seeing that she agreed, Wu Mengting's smile became even brighter.
It was an excuse for her to chat with Shen Lin, but it was not entirely an excuse. She also wanted to know more about Chen Feng's past from Shen Lin.
In this way, she can get to know Chen Feng better, which will certainly be beneficial to her when she gets along with Chen Feng and lives together in the future.
"You better stop talking."
The three women were walking towards the door, when Chen Feng suddenly said this.
"Why?"
Wu Mengting immediately turned around and asked.
"I'm afraid you guys will fight. Besides, why are you talking to Shen Lin about me? Do you want to know my past and inquire about my privacy? So, I object. Shen Lin, she just wants to know more about me through you. There is no need for you to let her take advantage of your past and privacy."
Chen Feng really said it, Wu Mengting said angrily: "I already said, this is a matter between us women, you should not interfere."
However, Shen Lin had been persuaded by Chen Feng and said directly: "I'm sorry. Since Chen Feng doesn't want me to talk to you, I won't talk to you. If you bother me tonight, I'll take my leave now."
After Shen Lin finished speaking, she took the lead and walked towards the door.
Wu Mengting could only glare at Chen Feng angrily, then snorted twice, but in the end she did not lose her temper with Chen Feng.
The group of people quickly went downstairs. After arriving in the living room, Shen Lin said to Chen Feng very naturally: "You can take me to Huiwen Road. My car is still there."
Wu Mengting immediately objected and said: "There is no need for Chen Feng to send you back specially. At most, he will send you outside the gate of the villa. Can't you just take a taxi back?"
Shen Lin said matter-of-factly: "He brought me here, so he should take me back from beginning to end."
Wu Mengting wanted to say more, but Chen Feng waved his hand towards her and said, "Okay, I'll take her back."
After saying that, he said "Let's go" to Shen Lin and took the lead to walk out of the house.
Shen Lin followed him out of the door without saying a word.
This made Wu Mengting, who was watching from behind, bite her silver teeth secretly, with a tangled look on her face.
Wu Mengting believed that it was impossible for Chen Feng to get back together with his ex-wife Shen Lin, but she really had no confidence that Chen Feng could resist his ex-wife's gentle attack.
"Do they have anything?" Sun Xiaorui also looked a little confused on the side.
It seems normal if Chen Feng and Shen Lin have something to do with each other. After all, Shen Lin's appearance, temperament, and figure are not much worse than hers, not to mention that she and Chen Feng have lived together for seven or eight years. There must be a certain emotional basis between them.
"Who knows? I hope he can withstand the temptation of his ex-wife. Otherwise, things will be very troublesome in the future."
Wu Mengting finished speaking a little annoyed, turned around and sat back on the sofa to continue watching TV.
…
Chen Feng drove Shen Lin out of the Zijinyuan villa area and then drove all the way to Huiwen Road.
At the first red light intersection, the car stopped and Shen Lin took the lead to speak: "It can be seen that between the two of them, Wu Mengting is the older one and can make the decision, and the other one is the younger one, right?"
Chen Feng just glanced at her slightly and did not answer.
But he didn't deny it, which was tantamount to acquiescing.
"Wu Mengting, why can she tolerate a little girl living with you? Is there any reason behind this?"
Chen Feng couldn't help but say: "You are too curious. Besides, this is my privacy and theirs. Why are you inquiring about other people's privacy?"
"You have confessed to me that you are the father of two children. What does this bit of personal privacy mean? If you tell me, it will make me give up on you even more."
Chen Feng couldn't help but glanced at her sideways, and then said: "The reason is very simple, I have other women outside. Wu Mengting felt that she was alone and weak, so she roped in Sun Xiaorui and asked her to help fight for favor."
After hearing this explanation, Shen Lin felt a pain in her heart and closed her eyes.
Chen Feng's explanation really made him give up on Chen Feng. It was impossible for her to be as generous as Wu Mengting.
This is really too curly!
Even Wu Mengting's current girlfriend, who is so beautiful and elegant, has to enlist helpers to please Chen Feng and fight for favor. If her ex-wife really joins the fighting group, will she be able to win over her? Obviously it will be difficult.
If she were just one of several women like Chen Feng, she would not be willing to do it.
After all, she was Chen Feng's former wife, the only woman, and now she was asked to accept sharing Chen Feng with other women. She really couldn't accept it.
However, it was obviously impossible for her to completely give up on Chen Feng.
It was obvious that she was the one who came first, and it was obvious that Chen Feng originally belonged to her alone.
But now Chen Feng no longer belongs to her, let alone her alone.
This huge psychological gap was really difficult for her to accept.
She shouldn't have agreed to the divorce in the first place!
The poisonous snake of regret invaded her heart again, making her whole body feel bad.
The past will never come back again, and it will be hard to recover from the flood.
