In the private room of the hotel, there is a large round table that can seat about twenty people. Everyone is sitting together, including a few children, making it very lively.
On Chen Feng's left sat Wu Mengting, and on his right sat Wu Mengting's second cousin, who talked to him from time to time.
Even though this person said nice and flattering words and tried to please him, Chen Feng still felt bored.
The difference between him and many people is that he doesn't like to listen to other people's flattery and flattery, and thinks it is fake and hypocritical.
It's just that this is Wu Mengting's cousin, and today is Wu Mengting's fiftieth birthday, otherwise Chen Feng would have left the party early.
However, after waiting for almost an hour after the banquet, Chen Feng stood up and said that he wanted to go back to his hometown. There was something urgent at home, so he left first and everyone ate slowly.
After Chen Feng said this, it was certainly hard for Wu's father and Wu's mother to persuade him to stay. She told him to drive carefully on the road and asked Wu Mengting to send him out.
"Is there really an emergency at home?"
Outside the box, Wu Mengting quickly asked Chen Feng.
Chen Feng shook his head: "It's nothing urgent, but my parents knew I was back and asked me to go home and meet."
Wu Mengting said: "I told them this morning that they also wanted me to go over and meet them. How about we go to your house together in the afternoon."
Chen Feng refused: "Forget it, I'd better go back first. You can come to me later. It's not easy to get rid of your relatives, so you should take it easy."
Wu Mengting also had a headache. After all, they were relatives. She could not give face to these relatives, but she had to give face to her parents. She could only take one step at a time.
"Well, I understand, I will take care of it."
"Okay, I'll leave first."
After watching Chen Feng leave quickly, Wu Mengting returned to the box helplessly.
As soon as she sat down, her aunt said with a little dissatisfaction: "Tingting, what's going on with your partner? He left in the middle of the meal. Today is your father's fiftieth birthday. If he has anything urgent to do, this meal
The wine should also be finished first."
Wu Mengting resisted the urge to quarrel with her and just said, "There is indeed something urgent at home."
"Haha, what's the emergency? Does life matter?" My aunt obviously didn't believe it.
Wu Mengting couldn't help but frown. It seemed that her aunt had strong opinions on Chen Feng.
But they only met for the first time today, and they didn't talk much. The only possibility is that Chen Feng and her rejected her cousin's investment offer.
This temperament is really not big, so Wu Mengting stopped spoiling her and said directly and calmly: "If he has something urgent, there is no need to explain it to you in detail. Auntie, you are too lenient."
When my aunt saw her niece talking back, she became even more unhappy and said loudly: "What do you mean I should be lenient? It's because he doesn't respect your father."
Father Wu frowned, glared at his daughter, and scolded slightly: "Okay, stop saying a few words. Come on, let's eat."
The aunt looked a little reluctant and said to Father Wu: "Brother, I'm not saying bad things. It's true that Tingting doesn't seem to respect you very much, nor does she respect us elders very much. When we met before,
, didn’t even say hello to us.”
Without waiting for Father Wu to answer, Mother Wu chuckled and said, "Ah Feng's personality is like this, he is cold on the outside and hot on the inside. When we first met, his attitude was not very affectionate and he seemed a bit arrogant.
But in fact, as long as you get to know him for a long time, you will know that he is a very filial child. He can't say many nice words, but he can show it with practical actions. For example, at the end of last year, he and Meng Ting gave us two
Each of us was given a New Year red envelope, which was not much, 500,000 yuan per person. I said no, he was still impatient with me, so we had no choice but to accept it."
The whole table fell into silence after hearing Mother Wu's Versailles words.
Auntie's old face froze even more.
After a while, the uncle coughed dryly and said: "Brother, you two are still lucky. Your daughter is filial and your prospective son-in-law is also filial. You two each have 500,000, right? Together, aren't you one million?"
"
The eldest aunt also said with envy: "You two are so lucky."
The aunt said with some doubt: "Really or not? Brother, did Tingting and his partner really give you so much money?"
Dad Wu laughed and said, "There are so many, but before I could warm up after receiving 500,000 yuan, her mother transferred 400,000 yuan away, leaving only 100,000 yuan for me. After I sold the old car
, I also spent more than 20,000 yuan on myself to buy this Passat."
Wu's mother said: "Isn't this just to hold a dance training class? The venue rent costs hundreds of thousands a year, and the decoration also costs hundreds of thousands. Now more than three hundred thousand is gone. I will still need more later.
It costs money to do publicity and hire professional dance teachers and other staff."
The eldest aunt clicked her tongue and said: "You all really know how to spend money. However, your daughter and prospective son-in-law are so rich, why do you still hold training courses? Aren't you tired?"
Wu's mother smiled and said, "Aren't I still young? I have nothing to do if I have nothing to do all day long. Moreover, it has always been my wish to open a training class or even a dance school. Now it is good to realize it step by step."
The cousin immediately said: "I support auntie to realize her ideals and wishes, which is good."
The second cousin also quickly followed: "Auntie, you are so awesome. You have your own ambition and things to do. Only in this way can a person's life be meaningful."
My cousin also flattered her and said, "Tingting is so good now, she must have learned it from your aunt. Aunt, you have been taught by words and deeds since childhood, how could Tingting not be good?"
This compliment was enough. Mother Wu laughed out loud at the compliment, obviously very satisfied.
Wu Mengting secretly despised him, but she didn't show it on the surface.
The atmosphere at the wine table suddenly became lively again because Wu's mother took the initiative to break the news.
Even the aunt, who looked a little worried, chose to shut up and eat in silence at this time. The reason why she deliberately found Chen Feng just now was indeed because her daughter's previous investment failed.
She was just such a daughter. She originally thought that if her daughter married the second generation of a factory, her daughter would reach the top of her life and live a happy life as a wealthy young lady.
The result was obviously that there was a big discrepancy. The son-in-law was incompetent, and his daughter also suffered. The fixed monthly living allowance of 20,000 yuan from her parents-in-law was far behind her ideal life as a young wife.
Therefore, in the past two years, under her daughter's nagging, she has strongly supported her daughter and son-in-law to start their own businesses and strive to become truly wealthy people.
It's just a pity that my daughter's parents-in-law don't support my daughter and son-in-law's entrepreneurship. They can only try to borrow money and attract investments everywhere, but the young couple cannot borrow much money. When it comes to soliciting investments, the young couple has no entrepreneurial background at all.
Coupled with the public opposition from the son-in-law's parents, it became impossible to attract investment.
Originally, Wu Mengting was the couple's only hope, but because of Chen Feng's identity being exposed, she became their only hope.
As long as one of Chen Feng and Wu Mengting agrees to invest, they can start their business.
It's a pity that both of them clearly rejected them, which made the young couple very disappointed and a little angry at the same time. Wu Mengting and Chen Feng were obviously so rich, so it was very simple for them to show their support.
They are also confident that their investment will not be wasted.
As a result, the two of them rejected them directly.
Especially Wu Mengting's cousin felt that Chen Feng, her prospective cousin-in-law, was a bit arrogant and looked down upon others.
So, my cousin said this to her mother in the car on the way to the hotel, which naturally aroused her mother's dissatisfaction.
Fortunately, my aunt was still able to handle it clearly. Seeing her sister-in-law take the initiative to expose the one million red envelope, of course she didn't dare to say anything unpleasant.
Especially after seeing her daughter flattering her, she didn't dare to say anything.
It was precisely because her brother's niece had become successful that she rushed to curry favor with her. If she really offended her niece, it would be of no benefit to her or her daughter.
Afterwards, Father Wu and Mother Wu were surrounded by everyone saying nice words and compliments, which made the smiles on their faces never disappear.
…
Chen Feng left the hotel, got in the car, and sent a message to Yu Xiaohui.
More than half an hour ago, Yu Xiaohui sent Chen Feng a WeChat message and asked him if he had returned to Lushi with Wu Mengting. Chen Feng did not hide it and truthfully said yes.
Yu Xiaohui then said that she would be in Lushi today and asked him when she would be free to meet him.
Chen Feng said not sure and would contact her when she was free.
Now that he was free, he kept his word and contacted her.
【I'm free now, where are you? I'll look for you】
【Jiangbin Plaza, can you come?】
After Chen Feng briefly estimated the distance, he replied: [Okay, we'll be there in about half an hour]
【I'm waiting for you】
Almost forty minutes later, the two finally met at Jiangbin Plaza.
Yu Xiaohui's outfit today is very ordinary, with light blue jeans and a light gray shirt, a pair of flat shoes on her feet, long hair flowing, and a pair of sunglasses on her face.
In addition, she was holding a parasol.
It's April now, the sun is shining today, and a parasol is a must-have for women when going out.
Just looking at her appearance, she looks like she is in her mid-twenties. Although she is a little chubby, it is obvious that she has given birth to two children and is the mother of two.
"It was so hard to find a parking space. It took a lot of effort to find one, otherwise I would have come here a long time ago."
Chen Feng briefly explained why he was late.
Parking in downtown Lushi is really difficult. Even though the parking fee is expensive, parking spaces are still very scarce. Especially for those who are not familiar with the city, it is really difficult to find a parking space.
Of course, Yu Xiaohui, who has lived in the city for many years, understood this and nodded understandingly: "I understand, if I had known that it would be inconvenient for you to drive here and park, we would have found another place to meet."
"Why did you invite me here?" Chen Feng asked curiously.
Yu Xiaohui replied: "My friends and I went to Jiangxin Island across the street in the morning, and we had dinner at the seafood restaurant here at noon. Then, I learned that you and Mengting returned to Lushi today, so I contacted you."
"What about your friend?" Chen Feng looked around.
Yu Xiaohui smiled and said: "Of course she left. She is my college classmate and I haven't seen her for two or three years. Yesterday she happened to pass by our Lushi for something. I have been playing with her since yesterday, until you contacted me. I
I told her directly that I had an appointment in the afternoon, and she took the initiative to say goodbye to me. She left for the train at 1:30 in the afternoon and has now gone to the train station."
"It's a pity. In fact, it doesn't matter if you introduce me to her."
Yu Xiaohui rolled her eyes at him and said, "She is a great beauty, and she is still single. I'm afraid you will have bad thoughts after seeing her. So, it's better to let her leave early."
Chen Feng said angrily: "Am I as bad as you say? I just want to fall in love with a pretty girl?"
Yu Xiaohui pursed her lips and smiled and said: "Well, I'm afraid that she will fall in love with you, lest she be seduced by you. In that case, wouldn't I have harmed her?"
Chen Feng felt much better after hearing what she said. He smiled and nodded: "That's true. With my damn charm, it's normal for women to be attracted to me."
Yu Xiaohui rolled her eyes at him but did not refute.
"Okay, let's take a walk. The scenery here is quite nice."
As Yu Xiaohui said this, she naturally came over and took Chen Feng's hand, started walking along the riverside, and then chatted with him one after another.
At the same time, a long-haired beauty holding a parasol followed them more than ten meters away from the two of them and took several photos of them.
This woman is the college classmate Yu Xiaohui mentioned. Her name is Tai Jingzhu. They were classmates in the same dormitory during college. After three years (junior college), they had a good relationship with each other and were true best friends. Even after graduating from college, the two went their separate ways.
Things and things went back to their hometowns, but they have always been in contact and their relationship has not faded much.
This time they met, it had been more than two years since the last time they met, but they didn't feel strange to each other at all. They were so harmonious and in tune with each other at the end of the day that she couldn't bear to leave after just one day.
Therefore, she canceled the train ticket she booked last night in the morning, hoping to stay for one more day or even two or three days to spend more time with Yu Xiaohui.
She made this decision originally because she wanted to give Yu Xiaohui a surprise, but she didn't expect that before she could surprise Yu Xiaohui, Yu Xiaohui gave her a "surprise" first, saying that she had an appointment in the afternoon and would not send her to the train station.
She took a taxi herself.
Although Yu Xiaohui did not say who she was dating, whether it was a boy or a girl, but based on her intuition about her best friend over the years, she discovered that there was something wrong with it.
She knew Yu Xiaohui's character, and if she asked her, she would definitely not tell the truth, so she planned to follow Yu Xiaohui secretly to see what was going on? Who was Yu Xiaohui dating?
Of course, her best friend knew that Yu Xiaohui was now a widow. Yu Xiaohui's deceased husband, Ning Xiaorong, was also her classmate in college.
In fact, Ning Xiaorong secretly pursued her at the beginning during college. After being rejected by her several times, he pursued Yu Xiaohui.
This made Tai Jingzhu not have a good impression of Ning Xiaorong.
In fact, Yu Xiaohui didn't like Ning Xiaorong at first, but a good girl was afraid of pestering her husband, so Ning Xiaorong pursued her unremittingly for almost two years before finally winning her.
Looking back, Ning Xiaorong was indeed not a good man. After they got married, the couple worked hard and finally made money. As a result, he started to live and drink, and even began to look down on Yu Xiaohui, his wife, who was a loser.
Later, after the two separated, he was afraid that Yu Xiaohui would take away too much of the family property, so he insisted on not getting a divorce.
Fortunately, due to his own misfortune, Ning Xiaorong died, and Yu Xiaohui became a widow and inherited hundreds of millions of family assets.
Now that Yu Xiaohui is dating another man and behaves so intimately, Tai Jingzhu, as a good best friend, is of course very curious and wants to help her sister to check it carefully to avoid being defrauded of money and sex. ()
