In the private room of the hotel, there was a large round table that could seat about twenty people. Everyone was sitting together, including a few children, and it looked very lively.
On Chen Feng's left sat Wu Mengting, and on his right sat Wu Mengting's second cousin, talking to him from time to time.
Although this person said nice and flattering words and wanted to please him, Chen Feng still felt bored.
The difference between him and many people is that he doesn't like to hear other people's flattery and flattery. He 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 meeting early.
However, after almost an hour of the banquet, Chen Feng stood up and said that he was going back to his hometown. There was something urgent at home, so he left first and everyone ate slowly.
Chen Feng said this. Of course it was difficult for Wu’s father and Wu’s mother to stay. She told him to drive carefully on the road and asked Wu Mengting to send him out.
"Is there really something urgent at home?"
Arrived outside the box, Wu Mengting hurriedly asked Chen Feng.
Chen Feng shook his head: "It's nothing urgent, but my parents knew that 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 You'd better go back later. Come and find me. These relatives of yours are not easy to deal with. Please take it easy.”
Wu Mengting also has a headache. After all, she is a relative. She doesn’t need to give face to these relatives, but her parents will. But the face must be given. We can only take one step at a time.
"Well, I know, 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 we sat down, my aunt said with a little dissatisfaction: "Tingting, what's going on with your partner? He left in the middle of the drink. Today is your father's fiftieth birthday, and he won't If there's something urgent, you should finish this drink first. "
Wu Mengting resisted the urge to yell at her, and just said: "There is indeed something urgent at home."
"Haha, what's the matter? God?" Auntie obviously didn't believe it.
Wu Mengting couldn't help but frown. It seemed that her aunt had a lot of objections to Chen Feng.
But they only met for the first time today, and they didn't talk much. The only possibility is that her cousin's previous offer of investment was rejected by Chen Feng and her.
This temperament is really not big, so Wu Mengting stopped being used to her and said directly and calmly: "If he has something urgent, there is no need to explain it to you in detail. Aunt, you are too busy." "It's too lenient."
When the aunt saw her niece talking back, she became even more unhappy and said loudly, "What do you mean, it's because he doesn't respect your dad."
Dad Wu frowned. He glared at his daughter and scolded her slightly: "Okay, stop saying a few words. Come on, let's eat vegetables."
The aunt looked a little reluctant and said to Father Wu: "Ah 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. She didn’t even say hello to us when we met before.”
Before Wu's father could answer, Wu's mother chuckled and said, "Ah Feng's character 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 over time, you will know that he is a very filial child. There is not much good to say about him. For example, at the end of last year, he and Meng Ting gave each of us a New Year’s red envelope, which was not much, 500,000 yuan each. I said no, but he was still anxious to me. We had no choice but to accept it.”
The whole table fell into silence after hearing what Wu’s mother said in Versailles.
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? How can you two be together? Isn’t it 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 myself up after receiving 500,000 yuan, her mother transferred 400,000 yuan away, leaving only 100,000 yuan for me. Ten thousand. After I sold my old car, I spent more than 20,000 yuan on myself to buy this Passat.”
Wu’s mother said: “I didn’t do this just for dance training. Class? The rent for the venue costs hundreds of thousands a year, and the decoration also costs hundreds of thousands. Now it’s thirty More than ten thousand is gone. I will have to do publicity later and hire professional dance teachers and other staff, which will cost money."
The eldest aunt said, "You all really know how to spend money. However, your daughter and prospective son-in-law are already so rich, what else are you going to do? Aren’t you tired of training classes?”
Wu Mu said with a smile: “I’m still young, right? There’s nothing wrong with being idle all day long. And I’ve always been running training classes and even dance schools. It’s good to realize my wish step by step now.”
The first cousin immediately said: "I support aunt to realize her ideals and wishes. It's good."
The second cousin also quickly followed: "Aunt, you are so awesome, you have your own professionalism and Things to do so that people’s lives have meaning.”
< br>My cousin also flattered me 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 is a compliment for both sides. , Wu’s mother laughed out loud after being praised, obviously very satisfied.
Wu Mengting secretly despised her, 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 embarrassed, chose to shut up and eat in silence at this time. The reason why she deliberately approached Chen Feng just now was indeed because her daughter's previous investment failed.
She is just such a daughter. She originally thought that if her daughter married the second generation of the factory, she would reach the top of her life and live a happy life as a wealthy young lady.
The results are obviously very different. The son-in-law is incompetent, and his daughter is also "enduring hardship". The fixed monthly living allowance of 20,000 yuan from her parents-in-law is far behind her ideal life for a young wife. .
Therefore, under her daughter’s nagging in the past two years, she has strongly supported her daughter and son-in-law to start their own businesses and strive to become truly rich people.
It's just a pity that my daughter's parents-in-law don't support their 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 investment, 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.
Unfortunately, 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 they showed a little to support them. It's a very simple thing to say. They are also confident that their investment will not be wasted.
As a result, the two rejected them directly.
Especially Wu Mengting's cousin felt that Chen Feng, the 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 her 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 did not 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.
......
After Chen Feng left the hotel and got in the car, he 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 said truthfully.
Following Yu Xiaohui, she 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 he was free.
Now that he was free, he did what he said and contacted her.
【I am free now, where are you? I’ll go find you]
[Here at Jiangbin Square, 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 Square.
Yu Xiaohui's dress today is very ordinary, 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, and the sun is shining today. A parasol is a must for women when going out.
Judging by her appearance, she was only in her mid-twenties. Although she was a little chubby, it was obvious that she had given birth to two children and was the mother of two.
“It was so hard to find a parking space. I finally found one, otherwise I would have come here long ago.”
Chen Feng briefly explained the reason for his lateness.
Parking in downtown Lushi is really difficult. Even though the parking fee is expensive, parking spaces are still very scarce. Especially if you are not familiar with the urban area, it is really difficult to find a parking space when you come here.
Of course, Yu Xiaohui, who has lived in the city for many years, knew this and nodded understandingly: "I understand. If I had known that it would be inconvenient for you to park your car here, 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 play on 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, I’ll contact 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 each other for two or three years. Yesterday she happened to pass by our Lushi for something. I have been playing with her since yesterday, and I got to play with you. When contacting me, I talked to her directly. She said that I had an appointment in the afternoon, so she took the initiative to say goodbye to me. She took the train at 1:30 in the afternoon and has already gone to the train station. "
"It's a pity. In fact, it doesn't matter if she introduces 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. Said: "Am I as bad as you say? I just want to fall in love with someone beautiful?"
Yu Xiaohui pursed her lips and smiled, and said: "Okay, I'm afraid that she will fall in love with you, so that she won't be seduced by you. In that case, wouldn't I be harming her?"
Chen Feng felt much better after hearing what she said, and nodded with a smile. Said: "That's true. With my damn charm, it's normal for women to be attracted to me."
Yu Xiaohui rolled her eyes at him and didn't refute.
"Okay, let's take a walk. The scenery here is quite nice."
As Yu Xiaohui said, she naturally came over and took Chen Feng's hand, and started walking along the riverside, and then hitchhiked each other. Chatting with him.
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 and returned 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 they last met, but they didn't feel strange to each other at all. By the end of the day, they were so harmonious and in tune with each other that she couldn't bear to play for just one day. Just left.
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 off. We went to the train station and asked her to take a taxi.
Although Yu Xiaohui didn't 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 did Yu Xiaohui have an appointment with?
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 has always made Tai Jingzhu have a bad impression of Ning Xiaorong.
Actually, 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 is indeed not a good man. After getting 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, a rotten wife. .
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. (End of this chapter)
