Lin Yujiao unexpectedly joined in, so Chen Feng's birthday party did not seem out of place and was still lively and lively.
Especially when she and Wu Mengting clapped their hands together and sang happy birthday to him, Chen Feng felt very accomplished and satisfied. It was doubly so.
His birthday has never been so grand before, this is the first time.
After the lively birthday party, it was already past nine o'clock in the evening.
Chen Feng sent Lin Yujiao back, and Wu Mengting took the initiative to come along.
So, the three of them left Chen's house and walked together toward the house Lin Yujiao rented.
"It's the 28th of the twelfth lunar month today, and you're still living in a rental house and haven't gone home?"
Wu Mengting asked with a curious look.
Lin Yujiao said frankly: "I don't have a good relationship with my mother, so it's better to live in a rental house."
"Oh." Wu Mengting nodded, but she didn't talk about anything further. She still had some courtesy in this regard.
Lin Yujiao asked back: "You don't plan to stay here for the New Year, do you?"
Wu Mengting quickly shook her head: "No. I'll go back tomorrow. If it weren't for my brother's birthday this time, I wouldn't come here."
Lin Yujiao pointedly said: "You really care about Brother Feng. You came all the way to celebrate his birthday."
Wu Mengting smiled and said: "Of course. He is my brother, and this is the first time to celebrate his birthday. I will definitely be by his side."
Chen Feng said with a smile: "I'm quite touched that you suddenly came over to celebrate my birthday today."
Lin Yujiao pretended to be coquettish and asked: "What about me?"
"Of course you do too."
Wu Mengting complained a little: "If I had known that Yujiao would come to your house to celebrate your birthday, I might not have come."
Yujiao asked half-jokingly: "You won't be jealous of me, will you?"
Wu Mengting shook her head and said, "No. It was just a little awkward at first, don't you think? We two girls came together to celebrate his birthday."
Yujiao smiled and said, "I don't think Brother Feng's family should treat you as his god-sister, but I don't care. I can just let them think what they want. What's so embarrassing about this?"
Wu Mengting smiled bitterly and said: "The problem is, everyone in his family knows that I like Brother Feng, and his mother wants Brother Feng to break up with her girlfriend this afternoon and let Brother Feng accept me."
"Does everyone in his family know about you?"
Lin Yujiao suddenly felt a little embarrassed, and her face felt hot. She had always thought that Chen Feng's family didn't know that Wu Mengting liked him, so she mustered up the courage to go to his house.
But now when she heard what Wu Mengting said, she immediately felt like she was a mistress and was looking for shame.
"Yes." Wu Mengting said with an innocent look on her face, a little shy, "Maybe I act too obviously sometimes, especially last time I stayed here for several days, they all saw it.
"
Lin Yujiao felt awkward for a while after hearing this. Chen Feng also coughed in embarrassment and took the initiative to change the subject and asked Wu Mengting: "Your family doesn't force you to go on blind dates anymore, right? And is Hong Yongming still harassing you?"
"No more." Wu Mengting said happily, "My parents seem to have a good impression of you. This time I told them the truth and came to celebrate your birthday, and they all agreed."
Chen Feng suddenly felt a toothache. What could this be? The last time he went there was not to meet her parents or to see her parents.
Lin Yujiao said in a slightly weird tone: "Last time you took Brother Feng back, you didn't say he was your boyfriend, right?"
"Of course not." Wu Mengting immediately denied it, then rolled her eyes and said, "However, my parents also saw that I like my brother."
"Stop it, stop it." Chen Feng quickly frowned and yelled, "What do you mean by 'liking my brother'? That's weird. Okay, don't talk about it."
Wu Mengting smiled and said nothing after hearing this, while Lin Yujiao was not in the mood to talk much at this time.
After all, she was just a lover kept by Chen Feng. Although the relationship was already very close, in fact she was self-aware, and her status in Chen Feng's mind was definitely far inferior to that of Wu Mengting.
This is where she feels a little hurt and sad.
I originally thought that my initiative to visit Chen Feng's house tonight was a very successful move, but when Wu Mengting said that I was like a clown.
The three of them walked in silence for a while, and the distance was not very far, so they arrived soon.
"Would you like to come in and sit down?" Lin Yujiao politely invited.
Chen Feng then said to Wu Mengting: "You go back first. I'll go in and discuss some things with Yujiao, and I'll go back later."
Wu Mengting said quickly: "It's so late, I don't dare to go back alone. How about I go in and sit down too, Yujiao, do you mind?"
Lin Yujiao faked a smile and shook her head: "Of course not."
"That's okay. Brother, let's go in and sit for a while, and then go back together."
Chen Feng glanced at Wu Mengting helplessly.
Lin Yujiao smiled, took out the key and opened the door, and the three of them walked in.
Seeing the appearance inside, Wu Mengting was a little surprised. The living environment was too simple.
"Would you like some water?" Lin Yujiao asked Wu Mengting.
"No."
"Bring me a drink." Chen Feng said.
Lin Yujiao poured hot water for Chen Feng from her own thermos cup and handed it to him.
After Chen Feng took it, he drank several sips at once, causing Lin Yujiao to frown slightly.
"Yujiao, the business in your store shouldn't be very good, right?" Wu Mengting took the initiative to find a topic.
"Yeah. It's very average. I opened the store here for three months and made a total of almost 20,000 yuan."
"That's a bit lacking. Have you ever thought about opening a store in other places? For example, in the county or urban area."
"I've thought about it, but I haven't decided yet. Let's talk about it after the New Year."
Wu Mengting said enthusiastically: "I think there are too few people in this town after all. If you want a good business, it is very important where the store is opened. If you don't have enough money, you can ask my brother to provide you with appropriate support."
When Chen Feng and Lin Yujiao heard what she said, they both looked at each other strangely. They felt that from Wu Mengting's side, she shouldn't be so concerned about Lin Yujiao's business.
It's just that they didn't know the reason for a while.
The reason why Wu Mengting suggested so enthusiastically was of course because Lin Yujiao now lived too close to the Chen family, and she was afraid that she would run to the Chen family every two days in the future to curry favor with the Chen family and copy her successful experience.
If things go on like that, Zhao Xiaolan, the future mother-in-law, might be abducted by Lin Yujiao.
Although Lin Yujiao didn't know Wu Mengting's thoughts, she immediately expressed her position: "If I open a store in the county, my own money will be enough. I don't need Brother Feng to spend any more money for me."
Wu Mengting suggested: "I think it is better to open a store in the urban area. You know Longhua Street, which is a clothing street. The shops there are not big, but they generate at least hundreds of thousands of revenue a year, and the flow of people is very large.
Business is naturally very good.
I used to have a relative who sold clothes there for several years and bought two houses in the city. Now he has directly opened a clothing factory to do wholesale. He mainly produces wholesale women's clothing, all of which are first-hand sources. If you are interested
I can introduce it to you."
Lin Yujiao said: "Of course I know about Longhua Street, but the rent for the shops there is at least hundreds of thousands a year, which is too expensive."
Wu Mengting said: "It is precisely because the rent of the store is high that it means the business there is good. Otherwise, those who open the store are not fools, how can they be willing to pay such a high rent? I am familiar with that place. My mother took me there often when I was a child.
.If you are interested, I will take you over to see the store after the Chinese New Year. Brother, what do you think?"
Chen Feng said nonchalantly: "Let Gillian decide for herself. If she really wants to open it in Longhua Street, I can provide appropriate funding."
Lin Yujiao was a little moved and moved when she heard this.
Longhua Street is so famous as a clothing street in Lu City and has a long history. Basically all women in Lu City know that it is a street that women must go to when they go shopping in the city to buy clothes.
Those who open clothing stores naturally hope to open their stores on such a street with a huge flow of people.
She didn't have the courage or capital before, and she might not be able to rent a shop there because it was so popular.
Now that Chen Feng is helping her take care of things, and with a "fixed salary" of 30,000 yuan per month, she has confidence.
Wu Mengting struck while the iron was hot and said: "Since my brother supports it, you might as well open a store in Longhua Street. After the Chinese New Year, we will help you find a store together."
"Brother Feng, what do you think?" Lin Yujiao looked at Chen Feng and asked.
Of course Chen Feng saw what she was thinking and said with a smile: "If you want to open a store there, of course I will support it. However, I can't give you the money for free this time. It's considered a partnership and I will take care of whatever you need."
of."
"Thank you, Brother Feng."
Lin Yujiao came over excitedly and hugged him and kissed him. When she remembered that Wu Mengting was by her side, she smiled sheepishly at Wu Mengting and said, "Mengting, thank you too."
Wu Mengting's face was a little stiff. She kissed her sweetheart in front of her. No matter how generous she was, she couldn't help but feel a little angry.
"You're welcome. After all, we have met each other. I will definitely help you if I can."
"Thanks."
"Okay." Chen Feng interrupted the politeness between the two of them, stood up and said, "It's getting late. Mengting and I will go back first. You should also rest early. In addition, you should go home tomorrow. At least you don't have to go by yourself.
Get something to eat.”
The restaurants on the street were basically closed at this time. If Lin Yujiao wanted to eat, she had to do it herself.
Lin Yujiao listened to Chen Feng's words and nodded immediately: "Yes, I understand. I will go back tomorrow."
"That's good. Let's go."
Chen Feng and Wu Mengting went out together. Lin Yujiao stood at the door and watched them turn the corner and then closed the door.
As soon as the two of them walked out of Lin Yujiao's sight, Wu Mengting said to Chen Feng unhappily: "Brother, when are you going to dump her?"
Chen Feng was stunned and said in surprise: "Weren't you very nice to her just now? Why did you turn around and ask this question?"
Wu Mengting said honestly: "She lives too close to your home now, and I don't like it. In addition, I also hope that she can make more money, so that she will not continue to be supported by you because of money."
Chen Feng said speechlessly: "No wonder you were so enthusiastic just now, it turned out to be because of this. Are you still afraid that she will snatch my mother away and recognize her as your daughter-in-law? Are you too unsure of yourself?
Also, the reason why I can successfully keep her is not just because of money, but mainly because of my personal charm. If it is just for money, with her conditions, there are a lot of rich men waiting for her to choose."
"This is not a question of self-confidence, but of discovering potential crises and solving them as early as possible. I know that you are very charming and very attractive to the opposite sex, and I also know that you feel that you have only a limited time to meet the opposite sex everywhere.
But I think you really shouldn’t give up on yourself and waste your energy and time like this. You should spend more time and energy on meaningful things.”
Chen Feng asked somewhat speechlessly: "What do you think is a meaningful thing? Doing charity or writing a book?"
Wu Mengting said: "There is nothing wrong with doing charity. Don't you have money now? You can set up a charity fund to help some people in need. As long as this fund is well run, it may still exist a hundred years later. In this way, even if we
The person is gone, but his name still remains in future generations, and may even be famous for generations to come.
Or, you and I can travel around the world, see how big the world is, leave our footprints in every corner of the world, and take photos, so that our voices and smiles can be preserved for a long time with the help of photos."
Chen Feng sighed and said: "What you said makes sense. But I don't need to be famous forever, and I don't need others to remember me. I just want to live well, live freely, happily and relaxedly for the rest of my life. What you said
It’s too troublesome to engage in charity work. If I want to do it well, it will definitely involve a lot of my energy.
In addition, our welfare and charity system is already very complete. There is no need for private individuals to engage in charity activities. The best way to help is not to cause trouble.
The suggestion to travel around the world is good, but it also depends on my mood. I can’t travel for the sake of traveling and take photos for the sake of taking photos.”
When Wu Mengting heard Chen Feng's words, she couldn't help but sigh: "You are indeed a unique person. It would be unfair to say that you are selfish. It is also nonsense to say that you are a gentleman with a sense of social responsibility."
Chen Feng smiled and said: "Girls, don't say dirty words."
"Is bullshit a dirty word?"
"Isn't it?"
"no."
"Okay, if you say no, then it's not."
"...We're almost home. I don't want to go in yet. Let's talk outside."
Not far ahead was Chen Feng's home. Wu Mengting stopped and grabbed him.
"It's already ten o'clock, and it's still so cold outside. Wouldn't it be better to get in bed early?"
As Chen Feng said this, he pulled Wu Mengting towards home.
Wu Mengting struggled a few times but failed to break away, so she had no choice but to let him pull her into Chen Feng's house with her lips pouted.
As soon as I walked in, I saw Zhao Xiaolan sitting at the counter.
"I'm back. Go to bed early." Zhao Xiaolan looked at the two holding hands with a pleased expression.
Chen Feng quickly let go of Wu Mengting's hand.
"Mom, you should go to bed early too."
After saying that, Chen Feng hurried upstairs.
"Auntie, you should go to bed early. I'll close the door for you."
Wu Mengting was a little angry with Chen Feng. She didn't look very good at first, but now in front of Zhao Xiaolan, she could only put on a smile immediately.
"Okay, let's close the door together."
Zhao Xiaolan said and came out of the counter, and the two women went to open the rolling shutter door together.
After locking the door, Zhao Xiaolan took her hand and said very intimately: "Don't worry, I only recognize you. If A Feng wants to marry another woman in the future, I will not agree."
These words were heartwarming and gave her great encouragement and confidence.
"Thank you, auntie."
Wu Mengting couldn't care less about her shame and immediately thanked her with a red face.
