Chapter 687: Harden the Heart
At almost half past six the next morning, Chen Feng got up.
At this time, Guo Mengyao, who was in the same bed, was still sleeping soundly.
Chen Feng didn't wake her up. He got out of bed, got dressed, did some personal hygiene, and left the hotel room.
He had to rush home to have breakfast with his parents. Chen Feng had already sent a WeChat message to his mother in advance, saying that he wanted to eat glutinous rice.
Sure enough, when she got home, her mother Zhao Xiaolan had already prepared fragrant glutinous rice.
Eating glutinous rice and drinking seaweed and egg drop soup, Chen Feng felt indescribably comfortable. He also told his parents about the progress of the preparations for the jewelry store, and asked Yu Xiaohui to carry out the next step of preparations on his behalf. Things have been said.
Also, he is going back to Xiuzhou today, and will have to come back next month at the earliest. By then, the preparations for the jewelry store will be almost completed, and he only needs to get back before the opening.
Zhao Xiaolan didn’t nag any more this time. She just asked Chen Feng to get along well with Wu Mengting after returning to Xiuzhou, and then it would be best for them to come back together next time.
Of course Chen Feng said yes. We will see the details when the time comes.
After breakfast, my parents went to work diligently.
Looking at the remaining glutinous rice, Chen Feng felt a rare conscience and packed two portions, intending to take them to Yu Xiaohui and Guo Mengyao.
This kind of authentic glutinous rice with a lot of spices added at home is hard to find outside.
Although it is not expensive, the intention is very good.
After Chen Feng finished eating and packed his luggage, he drove to Yujing Hotel.
Before getting in the car, Chen Feng looked at the time and saw that it was just under 7:30 in the morning. The two women might still be sleeping, so he didn't send them a message in advance.
When he returned to the hotel, Chen Feng went to Yu Xiaohui's room first, only to see Guo Mengyao here. Both of them had already gotten up and were discussing today's recruitment interview.
"This glutinous rice is made by my mother. You all have a try."
Chen Feng gestured to the two of them with the two small plastic bags he was holding.
“Auntie made glutinous rice. I ate it at your house last time and I still remember it. Bring it to me.”
Guo Mengyao said this as if Chen Feng had already met his parents, but her words were not lies. She did come to his house as a guest last time, but only as a classmate.
It was hard for Chen Feng to be serious with her at this moment.
Fortunately, Yu Xiaohui didn't seem to be affected by her words. She stood up and took a plastic bag from Chen Feng's hand with a smile on her face.
"It's a bit cold, so you can just eat it with hot water."
Both women didn't think there was anything wrong with Chen Feng's straight words.
Originally, none of them were hypocritical people, especially Yu Xiaohui, who was born in a rural area. Her family background was average when she was a child, and she also suffered some hardships.
Guo Mengyao is a man-in-law and informal in many aspects.
Besides, this is the glutinous rice that Chen Feng specially brought to her (them) to eat, and it was made by Chen Feng’s mother herself. This kind of kindness is the most rare.
So, the two women didn’t dislike it at all, so they each took the plastic bags and ate them with relish.
“Well, it’s so delicious. The glutinous rice made by my aunt is really authentic. Such authentic glutinous rice is almost extinct on the market and cannot be bought at all.”
Guo Mengyao couldn't help but admire it while eating.
Yu Xiaohui also praised: "Auntie's cooking is very delicious. I will learn from her next time I have a chance. I like eating glutinous rice the most."
Guo Mengyao said immediately: " I want to learn too, and we will learn from her together when the time comes."
Yu Xiaohui smiled and did not answer.
Chen Feng’s mother is going to be the deputy store manager of a jewelry store. If nothing happens, she will have many opportunities to get in touch with him after this recruitment is over.
Yu Xiaohui is also confident that she will have a good relationship with Chen Feng's mother. Of course, it won't be too difficult to teach her how to make glutinous rice.
Chen Feng was afraid that they would choke, so he thoughtfully poured them each a cup of hot water.
The two women just had boiled water and glutinous rice. They ate them all and left nothing at all.
The three of them chatted for a while. Chen Feng looked at the time and said to them: "Then you guys, get on with your work. I'm going to drive back to Xiuzhou."
After hearing this, the two women looked at him with some reluctance and said nothing.
Chen Feng now has some experience in dealing with this kind of scene. He waved to them and said with a smile: "I will come back when I finish my work in Xiuzhou and let you know then. I will leave first."
After saying this, Chen Feng turned around and walked towards the door in a cool manner.
Seeing this, the two women stood up and followed.
Guo Mengyao asked from behind: "How long will it take you to come back?"
Chen Feng did not look back and replied casually: "Maybe ten days and a half, try to come back as early as possible."
Yu Xiaohui warned: "Be careful on the road and don't drive too fast."
"Yes, I understand."
After reaching the door, Chen Feng turned around and looked at the two women. Said: "Okay, don't send me away. I can go down by myself."
After saying that, Chen Feng opened the door and went out.
When the door was closed by Chen Feng, the two women felt a little lost.
After a moment of silence, Guo Mengyao spoke first: "Do you think he really had something to do when he went back to Xiuzhou?"
Yu Xiaohui glanced at her, shook his head slightly and said, "I don't know about that."< br>
Guo Mengyao said in a low tone: "I think he is in a hurry to go back, probably In order to meet Wu Mengting, do you think he would dump us if he formally confirmed his relationship with Wu Mengting? "
Yu Xiaohui saw that she was a dignified female boss with a net worth of hundreds of millions, but she actually looked like a seventeen or eighteen year old? The little girl worried about gains and losses, and while she was a little funny in her heart, she couldn't help but feel sympathy.
Although Yu Xiaohui is more open-minded than her, she is not much better. After all, she really likes Chen Feng and has liked him since junior high school.
Although she knows that it is impossible for her and Chen Feng to achieve success, she also hopes to be with Chen Feng for a long time. If her relationship with Chen Feng is to end next month, Yu Xiaohui will definitely not let go.
But if Chen Feng really wanted to "break up" with her, she would force him again.
Obviously Guo Mengyao did not want Chen Feng to "break up" so easily, and she still had some unrealistic fantasies about herself and Chen Feng.
Yu Xiaohui sighed and comforted: "You'd better look away. Chen Feng is too good now. He is rich and single. There are many beautiful women interested in him. Even if there is no Wu Mengting, there will be others. Woman, the two of us have been married before Someone with children is definitely not his wife."
Guo Mengyao said with a sullen face: "It's not about whether you can become his wife now, but you don't even have to be his lover next month. Just break up with Chen Feng?”
Yu Xiaohui smiled bitterly and said: "So what if you don't want to? If Wu Mengting really becomes Chen Feng's girlfriend, she certainly has the right to ask Chen Feng to break up with us. The main question now is whether Chen Feng himself is willing to break up with us. If he doesn't willing , of course we can still get along like this."
Guo Mengyao's beautiful eyes flashed, and she sighed: "Yes, this matter mainly depends on Chen Feng himself, even if he wants to continue to associate with us in the future. Engaged and married, it's over It's not a problem at all." Yu Xiaohui frowned slightly and said, "He is not that kind of person. If he gets engaged and married in the future, he will definitely break up with us."
Guo Mengyao said disapprovingly. That's not necessarily the case , How can a man not cheat?"
Yu Xiaohui didn't want to argue with her, so she changed the subject and said, "It's almost time. Let's discuss the details and division of labor, and then go to the conference room on the second floor to prepare. ”
Guo Mengyao also knew that the time was not right, so she had to endure it for the time being and discuss the recruitment arrangements with Yu Xiaohui.
The two of them are responsible for interviewing and scoring together, with three applicants in a batch.
It may be done in one day today. If there is not enough time, we will add another day tomorrow, depending on the specific situation.
When Chen Feng's car was about to reach the highway intersection, Tian Xiaoman called him.
Chen Feng answered the question via Bluetooth and asked, "What's the matter?"
"My friend's decoration design drawings are out. Is it convenient for you to take a look now?"
"It's not convenient. I'm driving on the highway."
"Ah, that's it. Are you going back to Xiuzhou?”
“Well, I’m going back.”
“…When can you come back again?”
"Ten days and a half, I'll let you know when the time comes."
"...Okay, then you can look at the decoration design later, I will send the picture to your authority first."
< br>"Okay. Let's just say this first. I'll drive and you hang up."
After hanging up the phone, Tian Xiaoman was secretly lost in thought for a while.
Actually, when she called Chen Feng this time, the villa decoration design was secondary. The main thing was to tell him that Wu Mengting called her.
Of course she didn't know Wu Mengting before, but last night, Wu Mengting suddenly called her and said that she was Chen Feng's girlfriend and that she would be engaged to Chen Feng by the end of the year. She hoped that she would stop pestering Chen Feng, let alone hold anything against Chen Feng. Unrealistic fantasy.
The tone Wu Mengting spoke to her on the phone was not very good, and she looked exactly like the condescending attitude of her original mistress.
Although she didn't insult her verbally, she felt quite uncomfortable after hearing it.
Tian Xiaoman wanted to fight back, but he was not sure about the specific relationship between her and Chen Feng, and he couldn't say too unpleasant words to her. He could only hold back his anger and listened to her for several minutes. Finally, Then he hung up the phone directly.
Because of that phone call, Tian Xiaoman didn't sleep well last night. When he woke up in the morning, he looked a little confused. After much hesitation, he still called Chen Feng.
But when it came to the end, she retreated a little.
In the final analysis, she was still worried that the answer Chen Feng gave her was not what she wanted.
So, don’t talk to Chen Feng about this for the time being.
When he comes back to Lin Nan next time, she will talk to him face to face and ask him clearly.
She can accept that Chen Feng has other women now, but some cannot accept that he has an official girlfriend, let alone a fiancée.
Although she was very fond of Chen Feng as her golden son-in-law, she didn't necessarily have to marry him.
She is still young now, and she still has the most precious first time for a woman. She still has the capital to find another one.
But she will definitely not give up on Chen Feng unless she has to. After all, she has invested energy and time, and Chen Feng is the best in all aspects that she has encountered so far.
It will be difficult to find someone who is better than him or equivalent.
……
When Chen Feng returned to Xiuzhou, he was just in time for lunch.
Wu Mengting and Sun Xiaorui were waiting for him to come back to eat together.
The three of them had not seen each other for several days. When they met again, Chen Feng clearly felt that the atmosphere at home was different from before.
To be more specific, I feel that it is not as harmonious and natural as before, especially Sun Xiaorui. When eating at the same table, I feel that her expression is a bit reserved.
The problem may lie with Chen Feng or Wu Mengting.
After lunch, the two women cleaned up the dishes together, and then Sun Xiaorui consciously stayed in the kitchen to wash the dishes.
Chen Feng and Wu Mengting went to sit down in the living room.
"Now we can talk openly and honestly. Let me ask you, does your original promise still count?"
As soon as the two sat down, Wu Mengting stared at it impatiently. Chen Feng asked.
“It’s definitely a matter of course, but I told you before, you have to give me time to slowly break off relationships with other women.”
Wu Mengting said with a straight face: "I can give you two months to cut off all women except Xiaorui. Until you marry me, you will cut off ties with Xiaorui. Is that okay? This is my biggest concession."
Chen Feng shook his head and said, "This is definitely not possible for me. I also have feelings for several other women. If you ask me to cut off the relationship with them all at once, even if I agree to you now, it will definitely be a lie and I will definitely contact them behind the scenes. This is unavoidable. ”
Chen Feng’s words showed his true nature as a scumbag, which made Wu Mengting grit her teeth secretly. , just thinking that he was still suffering from a terminal illness, I could only endure it. After secretly taking a deep breath, I said: "Then you mean to wait until we get married before severing relations with them?"
Chen Feng Nodding: "Yes, when we get married in two years, I will definitely have slowly severed ties with them. Don’t worry.”
“Two years is too long. Neither I nor our parents will agree. I will give you another half year at most. We will get married before May Day next year. Before that, it’s okay for you to gradually sever ties with them, right?”
This was really an exorbitant price, and she had to pay the money on the spot, and she was able to kill him in half a year.
Chen Feng pretended to be hesitant and pondered for a while, then said: "Before National Day next year, if I am still alive by then, I can marry you."
Wu Mengting frowned and said dissatisfied : "Next year's National Day is too late. May Day is the longest period I can accept. Don't do this again." Are you bargaining with me and asking you to marry me early? "
Chen Feng sighed secretly. He has become wild now and has lost his mind. He really doesn't want to be held back by marriage so soon. Trapped, he is very accustomed to and likes his current living situation, and he really doesn't want to change it.
“I’ll think about it again, please give me some time.”
Chen Feng did not agree rashly this time, let alone make any promises to her.
Last time, he was too soft-hearted.
If you want to live freely and not be bound by marriage, you often have to harden your heart.
"I've given you so much time, how long do you want to delay?" Wu Mengting's face was full of grievances, and tears appeared in her eyes.
"Mengting, don't be like this." Chen Feng sighed and said, "I know you are a good woman. If I can marry you, it will be a blessing that I have cultivated in eight lifetimes, but I really don't want to hurt you. Besides, , I am used to the free life now, and I don’t want to be bound by marriage again, please give me more time, okay?”
