Although the access control of this building is very strict, there are too many people coming in and out, and many of them are mobile office workers, which also poses certain safety risks.
Therefore, although the house looked pretty good, with fine decoration, two bedrooms and one living room, and a monthly rental price of only 3,000 yuan, it was still rejected by Chen Feng.
The second place we looked at was the villa area. Although it was an old villa area more than ten years ago, the old villas here are still very valuable, and the people who live in them are either rich or noble.
This can be seen from the various luxury cars parked in front of some villas.
Moreover, the access control here is still very strict, and there are security guards patrolling the community 24 hours a day.
Of course, the rent for villas here is also relatively expensive. The rent for a two-story duplex villa is 9,000 per month. This is still a favor price, but it must be rented for one year.
Chen Feng looked good, but Lin Yujiao shook her head and refused. The reason was that the rent was too expensive and the living area here was too large. The upper and lower floors combined were nearly 300 square meters.
It is unnecessary for her to live in such a big place by herself. Besides, living in such a big house by herself makes her feel insecure and too empty.
Chen Feng thought about it and could only take her to find another place.
This time he not only asked Wu Mengting to help find it, but also contacted the housing agency.
Since the introduction from Wu Mengting was not suitable, I had no choice but to find an intermediary.
Wu Mengting didn't have any objections to this, so she went to find an agent together.
Needless to say, the agency's house listings were listed. After I went there, I listed several suitable houses to choose from.
After Chen Feng and Lin Yujiao discussed it, they only selected two of them.
One is closer to Longhua Street, that is, a few hundred meters away. It is a high-end community in the city center, and the rent is relatively expensive.
Although the community has a history of more than ten years, it still looks good on the outside. The property security guards in the community are relatively qualified. There is an access control system, and you need to swipe your card to enter.
The house is a two-bedroom house, almost a hundred square meters. It was renovated in the past two years. It looks very good. The appliances and furniture are also relatively new. You can move in right away.
But the rent was a bit high, and the landlord offered 4,000. Lin Yujiao negotiated through an agency and finally got 3,500.
Although there are some tenants in this high-end community with some history, the quality of these tenants is relatively high. More importantly, every floor here is monitored, security guards are patrolled, and access control is provided.
system. This gives everyone a great sense of security.
So, Lin Yujiao didn't even bother to check out the second place, and decided on this place directly.
Chen Feng saw that she really liked it here, and it was very close to Hualong Street where she opened a shop, so of course he let her make the decision.
Because the landlord was out of town and had entrusted the agency with full authority, Lin Yujiao signed a rental contract with the agency, paid the money, and got the key.
For safety reasons, the locks must be changed as soon as possible before moving in. Lin Yujiao is also familiar with this aspect. In addition, she also has to go to the property management to apply for a pass, which she can handle herself.
As Chen Feng and Wu Mengting had to rush to Linnan to celebrate their aunt's birthday, Lin Yujiao was very reasonable and did not let them continue to accompany her. There was no need to trouble them with the rest of the matter.
So, Chen Feng and Lin Yujiao said goodbye and left.
After coming down from the unit building, Wu Mengting said to Chen Feng: "The environment of this community looks good, and there shouldn't be any mess. However, she still feels a little unsafe living alone as a woman. You can let her
She finds a suitable person to live with. There is still a room anyway."
Chen Feng looked at her and asked, "Why didn't you just tell her this directly?"
Wu Mengting curled her lips slightly and said, "I have a normal relationship with her. If I tell her this, she may not be able to hear it, and she may think I'm being hypocritical. But it's different if you tell her."
Chen Feng shook his head and said, "You think too much."
Wu Mengting rolled her eyes at him and said, "With you in the middle, it's no wonder that my relationship with her is so good."
Chen Feng smiled coquettishly and wisely changed the subject: "Should I send you home first, and then go to Linnan?"
"No need. There shouldn't be anything wrong with me dressing up like this and coming with you to celebrate your birthday, right?"
Wu Mengting pointed at her current clothes.
Today, Wu Mengting put on light makeup. She wore a white chiffon shirt on her upper body, a pair of light blue jeans on her lower body, and a pair of canvas shoes on her feet, which looked very comfortable.
"That's good. It looks very beautiful." Chen Feng praised from the bottom of his heart.
It was rare to hear such straightforward praise from Chen Feng. Wu Mengting's originally gloomy mood suddenly became better. She said with a bright smile: "I'm afraid that the dress is not grand enough, but if it is too grand, I feel it is inappropriate. In the end, I have to choose."
That’s all I can wear.”
Chen Feng said with a smile: "We're not going to a wedding banquet. Why are we dressed so grandly? Besides, this birthday celebration for my aunt is just a formality. We are not the protagonists."
Wu Mengting was a little disappointed after hearing what Chen Feng said, and quickly asked: "Is it just a formality? Then your mother asked me to go with you, saying she wanted to introduce your relatives to me."
Chen Feng couldn't help being startled when he heard this, and said in surprise: "My mother really told you that."
Wu Mengting nodded, and Chen Feng suddenly groaned secretly in his heart.
Although Wu Mengting is considered the most suitable remarriage partner in his mind, and the two had an appointment for half a year before, after all, they are not really boyfriend and girlfriend yet. If his mother drags him over and introduces her to those
There is something wrong with relatives after all.
But it was obvious that Wu Mengting was very willing to do this, and Chen Feng didn't know what to say for a while.
"What? Don't you want your mother to introduce me to your relatives? I don't mind, do you still mind?"
"No, of course not."
Of course, Chen Feng immediately denied it. This was indeed the case. She didn't care about a girl. What else could he, a divorced man, not want?
After seeing Chen Feng say this, Wu Mengting smiled with satisfaction.
The two of them soon arrived outside the community, got into the car, and Chen Feng started the car and drove directly to the highway intersection.
Along the way, Chen Feng also introduced Wu Mengting to his mother's relatives, mainly his late uncle's family, his aunt's family, and his brother-in-law. Of course, there were also some people whom Chen Feng didn't even know.
Relatives, let’s see about this later.
Almost an hour later, Chen Feng followed the navigation on his mobile phone and arrived at the hotel where his aunt was hosting a banquet for her birthday. It was a private restaurant in a small town, renovated from three three-story houses.
Chen Feng parked his car nearby, carrying two bags of longevity noodles and a big red envelope containing 880 yuan.
The younger ones here who have passed their 60th birthday and got married still have to give red envelopes to show their respect. Of course, there are some whose families have money and don’t care if they don’t accept it, but most of them still have to receive gift money. If they are 70 years old, they don’t need it, and relatives come over.
There are free meals, drinks and gifts. Of course, the money for celebrating the birthday comes from the children of the birthday boy.
As a divorced person, Chen Feng is of course considered married, so he must also give red envelopes to show his respect.
When I brought Wu Mengting to the front door of Songtao Restaurant, I saw two eldest cousins from my aunt's family welcoming guests. When they saw Chen Feng coming, they all smiled and hurried over to greet him.
"A Feng, you are finally here, my mother was still talking about you just now." The eldest cousin said enthusiastically.
As he spoke, he looked at Wu Mengting next to Chen Feng.
The second cousin was more direct and asked directly: "A Feng, is this your girlfriend? Your mother said before that you brought your girlfriend here this time. It's true. She is indeed beautiful and discerning."
Chen Feng really didn't want to admit it at this time, but the matter was at this point, so he could only bite the bullet and nodded and said: "Yes, she is my girlfriend, she is from the city, her name is Wu Mengting, you can just call her Ating. Mengting, they
She is my aunt’s daughter, my cousin.”
"Hello, cousins."
Wu Mengting greeted her two cousins in the general direction, using the local dialect with a distinct urban accent that both cousins could recognize.
The second cousin immediately took her hand very affectionately and said with a smile: "Our family, Ah Feng, is really lucky to have such a beautiful girlfriend like you."
The eldest cousin also smiled and said: "A Feng, you have to treat her well in the future and know how to cherish her, you know?"
Chen Feng was a little embarrassed, thinking that I and you two cousins are not so close or familiar. But on the surface, of course, she still smiled and nodded.
Fortunately, another relative came over. They were the uncles of the two cousins and a few children. Chen Feng finally got out and quickly entered the restaurant with Wu Mengting.
At the place dedicated to receiving gift money, Chen Feng presented the gift money and birthday noodles. After registering, he took Wu Mengting into the banquet hall.
The birthday banquet venue is in the lobby on the first floor, with nine tables fully arranged.
After scanning the area, Chen Feng quickly found the table where he was sitting, and hurried over with Wu Mengting.
"A Feng, you're here."
On the way, his eldest cousin-in-law appeared, stood in front of him, and said with a smile: "We were talking about you just now. Let's have a few drinks later."
Chen Feng quickly said: "I'm driving, so I won't drink."
"How about that? It's a rare opportunity to drink with you. I must have a few good drinks this time. Just let someone else drive the car."
Chen Feng was a little speechless. Fortunately, Wu Mengting came forward and said to the cousin-in-law with a smile: "I didn't let him drink. I'm sorry."
"Are you...A Feng's new girlfriend?" The eldest cousin looked at Wu Mengting.
In fact, he mainly saw Wu Mengting first and was amazed by her beauty, then he saw Chen Feng beside her, and then came to say hello.
"Yes you are……"
"I am his brother-in-law. Since you don't let him drink, then forget it. It's great that A Feng has such a beautiful girlfriend like you to take care of him. Cherish it."
The eldest cousin-in-law patted Chen Feng on the shoulder with an expression of appreciation and admiration and left.
This eldest cousin-in-law is now in his forties, and is more than ten years older than Chen Feng. He and Chen Feng were not really close before. It was only later that his nephew became the manager of the second chain car wash shop opened by Chen Feng, and the two of them became friends.
It's starting to become familiar.
"Your cousin-in-law is quite interesting." Wu Mengting whispered beside her.
Chen Feng wondered what was so interesting about this.
"Ating, this way, come and sit next to me."
But it was Chen Feng's mother, Zhao Xiaolan, who saw the two of them and happily waved to Wu Mengting. Chen Feng, her own son, was ignored by her in a gorgeous manner.
Wu Mengting also immediately left Chen Feng behind, and walked quickly towards Zhao Xiaolan with a smile on her face.
Chen Feng pouted and followed behind.
Unable to wait for Wu Mengting to approach, Zhao Xiaolan left the table and came over to greet her. She took Wu Mengting's hand happily and said with a kind and joyful expression: "Ating, I haven't seen you for a while. I really miss you."
"Mom, didn't you just video chat with her the day before yesterday?" Chen Feng couldn't help but interrupt.
"Can what you see in the video be the same as what you see in real life?" After Zhao Xiaolan finished speaking angrily, she scolded, "Didn't I tell you to come here earlier? It's almost twelve o'clock."
Wu Mengting quickly came to Chen Feng's rescue and said, "Auntie, it's my fault. I got up late this morning."
"Don't cover for him. I don't know my own son yet. He just procrastinates. He just keeps dawdling if he doesn't push or push."
Chen Feng felt that he was wronged, but he couldn't explain it.
"Auntie, we're not too late. Don't be angry. Let's go sit down first."
Wu Mengting glanced at Chen Feng funny, then pulled Zhao Xiaolan over to sit down.
"Second uncle! Second uncle!"
The two precious nieces who were playing with a group of children now also saw Chen Feng, and they both shouted and ran towards him with excitement on their faces.
Chen Feng immediately beamed with joy, squatted down and opened his arms to greet him.
The two nieces rushed into his arms like swallows returning to their nests, one on each side and one on the right, making Chen Feng finally feel the warm family affection.
"Second uncle, where are our gifts?" Xiaoxue asked first.
"Yes. Second uncle, what gifts did you buy us this time?" Xiaoyu quickly followed.
Chen Feng was immediately a little hurt. He believed that these two precious nieces were so excited to see him because of the gift, not because of him as his second uncle.
However, he couldn't argue with the younger generation, so he could only cheer up and say: "They are all in my car. I will bring them to you after we finish drinking."
"Very good."
The two little guys clapped their hands and danced happily. Seeing them happy, Chen Feng couldn't help but feel better.
Not long after Chen Feng sat down at his table, the banquet started.
In addition to Chen Feng's family, their eldest aunt and her three grandchildren also sat at their table.
During the dinner, Zhao Xiaolan of course took Wu Mengting and introduced her to her aunt, which naturally attracted a burst of praise from her aunt.
Especially when I heard that Wu Mengting was from the urban area and graduated from Tunghai University, the look of envy was even more evident on her face, and she was full of praise.
Chen Feng was speechless, but Wu Mengting kept smiling, which Chen Feng couldn't help but admire.
After that, many relatives came over to toast them, and Zhao Xiaolan introduced Wu Mengting to them one by one, which naturally attracted praise and envy again and again.
Zhao Xiaolan was satisfied, but Chen Feng felt guilty and helpless for a while.
Although he and Wu Mengting have an appointment for half a year, it is still early after all, and no one can predict what will happen in the future.
If he and Wu Mengting cannot achieve perfection in the future, they will inevitably become a joke among these relatives, and his mother will definitely not be able to spare him by then.
