Chapter 350 Birthday
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.
So, although the house looked pretty good, with fine decoration, two bedrooms and one living room, and the monthly rent was only 3,000 yuan, it was still rejected by Chen Feng.
The second place we visited 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 directly for one year.
Chen Feng looked good, but Lin Yujiao shook her head and refused. In addition to the high rent, the living area here is too large, with the upper and lower floors adding up to 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 alone makes her feel insecure and too empty.
Chen Feng thought about it and could only take her to another place.
This time he not only asked Wu Mengting to help find him, but also contacted the housing agency.
Since Wu Mengting’s introduction is not suitable, she can only 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 more suitable houses to choose from.
After discussing with Lin Yujiao, Chen Feng 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 just two years ago. It looks very good, and the appliances and furniture are relatively new. Just bring your bags and move in.
It’s just that the rent is a bit expensive. The landlord offered me 4,000 yuan. Lin Yujiao negotiated the price through an intermediary, and finally got it to 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 there is an access control system for entry and exit. This gives everyone a great sense of security.
So, Lin Yujiao didn't even bother to check out the second place, and just decided on this place.
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.
While Chen Feng and Wu Mengting were rushing to Linnan to celebrate their aunt's birthday, Lin Yujiao was very reasonable and did not let them continue to accompany them. There is no need to trouble them with the rest.
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, there shouldn't be any mess. However, she still feels a little uncomfortable living alone as a woman. It’s not safe. You can find a suitable person to share it with.”
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 you tell her this, she may not be able to listen. You thought I was being hypocritical.”
Chen Feng shook his head and said, “You think too much.”
Wu Mengting rolled her eyes at him and said, "You are caught 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 talk to her again?" Go to Lin Nan."
"No need. There shouldn't be anything wrong with me dressing up like this to celebrate your birthday, right?"
Wu Mengting pointed to her current clothing.
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 Chen Feng’s straightforward praise. Wu Mengting’s originally gloomy mood suddenly became better. She said with a bright smile: “I’m afraid that the dress is not formal enough, but it would be inappropriate if it is too formal. , in the end, I had to choose something like this.”
Chen Feng said with a smile: “It’s not like I’m going to a wedding banquet, why would you wear something so grand this time? Auntie's birthday wish 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 wants me to come with you. Go and say that you want to introduce your relatives to me."
Chen Feng couldn't help being shocked 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. After all, it's not good to drag him over and introduce him to those relatives.
But obviously 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, so do you still mind?"
"No, of course not."
< br>
Of course Chen Feng immediately denied it. This was indeed the case, she didn't care about a girl, so why wouldn't he, a divorced man, not want to?
After seeing Chen Feng say this, Wu Mengting smiled with satisfaction.
The two soon arrived outside the community, got into the car, 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, his uncle, and of course some relatives. Chen Feng didn't even know the relatives very well. 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 serving drinks during 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 eight hundred and eighty-eight dollars.
The younger generation here who have passed their 60th birthday and have a family still have to give red envelopes to show their respect. Of course, there are some whose families have money and don’t care about accepting them, but most of them still have to receive gift money. If you are seventy years old, there is no need. Relatives will eat, drink and receive gifts for free when they come over. Of course, the money for the birthday will come 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 gate 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 came 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 really beautiful, and she has "
Chen Feng didn't want to admit it at this time, but at this point, he could only bite the bullet and nodded and said: "Yes, she She's my girlfriend from the city, her name is Wu Mengting, you can just call her Ating. Mengting, they are my aunt's daughters, my cousins. "
< br>Wu Mengting greeted her two cousins in the general direction, using a local dialect with an obvious urban accent that both cousins could recognize.
The second cousin immediately took her hand very affectionately and said with a smile: "Our family, A Feng, is really lucky to find a girlfriend as beautiful as you."
The eldest cousin also said with a smile: "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 don't seem to be so close or familiar with you two cousins. But of course she 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.
In the area 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 glancing around, Chen Feng quickly found the table where he was sitting, and hurried over with Wu Mengting.
"A Feng, you're here."
My cousin-in-law appeared halfway, stood in front of him, and said with a smile: "We were talking about you just now. Later Let’s have a few drinks.”
Chen Feng said quickly: “I’m driving, so I won’t drink anymore.”
"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 speechless. Fortunately, Wu Mengting came forward and said to the cousin-in-law with a smile: "I don't let him drink. I'm sorry."
"Are you...A Feng's new girlfriend?" The brother-in-law stared 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 said with appreciation and admiration He patted Chen Feng on the shoulder and left.
This eldest cousin-in-law is now in his forties, and is more than ten years older than Chen Feng. He was not really close to Chen Feng before. It was only later that his nephew became the manager of the second car wash chain opened by Chen Feng, and the two began to become familiar with each other.
"Your cousin-in-law is quite interesting." Wu Mengting whispered beside her.
Chen Fengxin said what’s 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 biological son, was gorgeously ignored by her.
Wu Mengting also immediately left Chen Feng behind, and walked quickly towards Zhao Xiaolan with a smile on her face.
Chen Feng curled her lips 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. It's really nice. 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. Come here.”
Wu Mengting quickly came to Chen Feng’s rescue and said, “Auntie, It's my fault. I got up late in the morning."
"Don't cover for him. I don't know about my own son. He just procrastinates and keeps grinding without urging. "It's so slow."
Chen Feng felt very 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 shouted to him with excitement on their faces ran over.
Chen Feng immediately smiled and squatted down to greet him with open arms.
The two nieces rushed into his arms like swallows returning to their nest, one on each side, and Chen Feng finally felt 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 hurt. I dared to believe that these two precious nieces were so excited to see him because of the gift, not because of his second uncle.
However, he couldn't argue with the younger generation, so he could only cheer up and said: "They are all in my car. I will bring them to you after we finish drinking."
"That's great."
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 aunt and her three grandchildren also sat at their table.
During the dinner, Zhao Xiaolan of course took Wu Mengting to introduce 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 Donghai University, a look of envy appeared 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 then 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 can't 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.
