Chapter 149(1/2)
The next morning, the three of them ran together again. While resting at the outdoor exercise equipment, the three of them chatted together.
Lin Yujiao said that starting from today, she would not open a store and start to close down. Anyway, there would be no business if she opened a store.
Chen Feng said that the population in Qingpu Town was too small, and online shopping was now very convenient, so it was normal for her clothing store to have poor business. If she wanted to open a store in the county town, he could help.
Lin Yujiao was a little hesitant and said we would wait until after the New Year.
Wu Mengting told Chen Feng to make preparations and go back with her to meet her parents after lunch.
Chen Feng felt a little weird in his heart. He always felt that he had overlooked something, but this time he went there openly as her godbrother and helped her parents to tell her parents not to force her to go on a blind date. There seemed to be nothing particularly wrong with her.
On the way the three of them went back, Lin Yujiao couldn't help but ask: "If you go home to meet your parents like this, will they misunderstand you?"
Wu Mengting said quickly: "Of course not. I have made it clear to my parents. He said that my brother is a good friend I made in Xiuzhou and is my godbrother. He takes good care of me in Xiuzhou."
Chen Feng was a little worried at first, but after hearing what Wu Mengting said, he felt relieved.
Chen Feng didn't say anything, and Lin Yujiao certainly couldn't say anything else.
In fact, Wu Mengting did make it clear to her parents last night. She told them that her heart belongs to someone. This person is Chen Feng. They met in Xiuzhou. Chen Feng took good care of her. Some time ago, the two of them were in love.
We traveled across the country together and got to know each other very well. She already had a deep love for him.
This time when she went to Linnan County, she also stopped by Chen Feng's house. His family members were all very kind, and she and his mother got along very well and had a good conversation.
Then, under questioning from her parents, Wu Mengting also truthfully told some personal information about Chen Feng. For example, Chen Feng was seven years older than her, divorced, but had no children.
Another most practical problem is that Chen Feng is very rich. It is roughly estimated that his net worth is tens of millions or even hundreds of millions. The most powerful proof is that he bought a villa worth more than 10 million in Xiuzhou.
The problem now is that Chen Feng has no intention of developing an in-depth relationship with her and regards her as his younger sister.
Her parents were of course very dissatisfied and worried about this. What they were dissatisfied with was that even though their daughter was so beautiful and outstanding, there were men who looked down on her? This made them feel that the other party was too blind.
But now that their daughter wants to pursue this man, they feel very uncomfortable and worried. They are afraid that their daughter will be hurt.
However, no matter what, this man will come to visit their home tomorrow. As parents, they must be energetic and weigh him carefully to check on their daughter.
Of course Chen Feng didn't know the inside story. He just thought he would go over to visit and help Wu Mengting persuade her parents. Whether they listened or not was none of his business.
After the two of them finished eating at noon, Wu Mengting reluctantly began to say goodbye to Zhao Xiaolan. The two women talked for a long time, and they were very emotional at the end. Both of them were about to shed tears. Chen Feng looked aside and was already impatient.
There was a moment of silence.
"If you want to come and play again, you can come at any time. You can come after the Chinese New Year. When you go to Xiuzhou, you can go with Ah Feng."
Zhao Xiaolan held Wu Mengting's hand with a look of reluctance and said.
Wu Mengting's eyes were red and she said, "Well, I'll come over and give you New Year's greetings, auntie."
"Haha, then I'll wait for you to come over and pay New Year's greetings." Zhao Xiaolan suddenly became happy.
Wu Mengting finally smiled.
Chen Feng, who was on the side, finally couldn't help but said, "Have you finished saying goodbye? We've been talking for almost half an hour."
The two women looked at him unkindly, especially the look in his mother Zhao Xiaolan's eyes, which immediately made Chen Feng feel the pressure. He quickly smiled and said: "It's almost two o'clock now. I'm afraid it's too late to go there and the night will be bad.
return."
After hearing what Chen Feng said, Zhao Xiaolan patted Wu Mengting's hand gently and said, "Then you go first. Give me a call when you get there."
"Okay, Auntie." Wu Mengting nodded obediently.
Zhao Xiaolan then let go of her hand and walked the two of them to the door.
When Chen Feng was about to get in the car, Zhao Xiaolan reminded him to remember to buy a door-to-door gift.
This was the first time I went to someone else's house, and since I was nominally Wu Mengting's godbrother, I definitely couldn't go empty-handed.
After the two got into the car and started the car, Chen Feng asked Wu Mengting what gifts her parents liked.
Wu Mengting didn't pretend to be polite and said she didn't want gifts. She said honestly that her dad liked to drink some wine, so just buy her a bottle of wine. Her mom was pretty, so she bought her cosmetics.
You can buy these things at a shopping mall in the city. Wu Mengting's home is near that shopping mall.
The two first drove to the brothers' car beauty shop. Wu Mengting's mini car was parked here. She came to pick up the car and said goodbye to Chen Rui.
Next, the two of them drove on the highway to the city. They arrived in the city almost an hour later. Then they met in tandem at the shopping mall they had agreed on in advance.
After parking the car, Wu Mengting led us into the mall and quickly bought home gifts: two bottles of Moutai and a set of L'Oreal cosmetics.
It's not very expensive. It only costs more than 3,000 yuan in total. The price is just right. It doesn't seem very expensive, nor is it very cheap.
What surprised Chen Feng was that Wu Mengting's family actually lived in a villa area in this bustling commercial area.
This villa community is quite old. It was built nearly 20 years ago. They are all small duplex buildings.
According to Wu Mengting, she bought this place after the demolition of her home and some savings from her parents and elders. It cost less than 3 million at the time, but it may cost 10 million now.
However, her family is not really a wealthy family. Her parents' jobs are relatively ordinary. Her father is a small cadre in a state-owned enterprise and her mother is a dance teacher.
The combined annual income of the two couples now does not exceed 300,000.
Such a family in the urban area can really only be described as average. After all, both of their salaries are relatively fixed, so it is impossible for them to become rich.
Of course, their villa is indeed very valuable now.
The two cars stopped in front of the villa. Not long after they got out of the car, the door of the villa opened.
Standing at the door were an elegant middle-aged man wearing glasses and a middle-aged woman dressed young and with a good figure.
Needless to say, they are Father Wu and Mother Wu. They are much younger than Chen Feng imagined.
Thinking about it, Wu Mengting is only twenty-two years old this year, and her parents must be under fifty, so she is not very old.
"Dad, Mom."
Wu Mengting shouted naturally, and then led Chen Feng forward.
"Hello, uncle and aunt."
Although Chen Feng, who was holding gift boxes in his left and right hands, felt a little embarrassed, he still greeted the two of them with a natural smile.
"well."
"Hello, come in first."
Father Wu and Mother Wu were staring at Chen Feng from the beginning. After seeing Chen Feng say hello, they all smiled and invited him in.
The decoration inside the villa is okay, with marble floors and Chinese furniture, it looks very elegant and generous.
After sitting down on the solid wood bench, Wu Ma enthusiastically poured him a cup of tea and placed it on the coffee table in front of him.
Father Wu offered him a cigarette, but Chen Feng quickly waved his hand and refused.
Then Father Wu said naturally: "I heard from Xiaoting that you are from Linnan. I lived there for a while on a business trip when I was young. What I miss the most is the wontons there. They are really delicious.
The wontons here in our urban area are not as delicious and authentic as those over there.”
Chen Feng also smiled and said: "The wontons we have there are quite famous. Mengting and I also ate them last time, but I felt it didn't have the same authentic taste as before."
"Yes, many of the things we eat now don't taste as good as before."
…
After the two chatted casually for a while, Chen Feng, with Wu Mengting's frequent glances, stepped into the topic: "I heard from Mengting that as soon as she comes back, you will arrange a blind date for her. She is quite disgusted with such an arrangement.
Originally, I didn’t want to say anything, but now Mengting recognized me as her godbrother, and she begged me again. I had no choice but to help her talk to her uncle and aunt. What I mean is, since Mengting doesn’t want to go on a blind date now, then
You should respect her opinion to a certain extent. After all, we are no longer in ancient times, and we advocate free love."
Wu Mengting also followed his words and said: "Yes. Dad, Mom, I am an adult now. I hope to find my future partner by myself. When I can't find it or need your help, I will take the initiative to ask for it."
You arranged a blind date, but you really don’t need it now."
After Wu's father and Wu's mother looked at each other, Wu's father said: "It's not that we don't respect her opinion, but now she doesn't have a boyfriend at all, and she will be twenty-three after the Chinese New Year. Let's do it
It's normal for her parents to arrange blind dates for her. In addition, we don't arrange blind dates for her randomly. We only choose those who know the basics and have relatively good conditions.
For example, the person last time was two years older than Xiaoting. He graduated from the University of Political Science and Law. He had just finished his master's degree, passed the bar exam and was working as an assistant in a well-known law firm. And his family's conditions are also very good. His father is very rich.
The shareholder of this company, his mother is a senior executive of a state-owned enterprise, and his family background is very good.
Moreover, his mother and my sister, Xiaoting's aunt, are colleagues. We have a very good relationship and know his family quite well. This man is also handsome, has no bad qualities and is nice. Since the last blind date, he has been asking for help.
He contacted us and was very satisfied with Xiaoting and hoped for further development. In the past few days since Xiaoting was away, he took the initiative to come to our home twice."
"Why is he like this?" Wu Mengting said very dissatisfied, "You didn't even tell me about this."
Wu Ma said: "He's a guest here, not to mention his mother and your aunt are friends, so we can't kick him out, right?"
Wu Mengting frowned and said: "I have made it clear to him before. He has been blocked on WeChat and mobile phones, and he still comes to the door. He is too shameless."
Father Wu glanced at Chen Feng with some pride, and then said with a smile: "Who makes our daughter so beautiful? A gentle lady is a good gentleman, so it is normal for Xiao Jiang to be fascinated by you."
Mother Wu also looked at Chen Feng with a slightly proud look, and said with a smile: "Then Mother Jiang is quite satisfied, she is warm to others and can speak well. What is rare is that she is not arrogant or complacent, does not brag, has a humble attitude, and is very calm. More importantly,
Yes, he is now an assistant lawyer and has a bright future."
"That's enough for you. You've already said you're not interested in him, but you're still like this." Wu Mengting said angrily, "I don't care if you are satisfied with this person or not, I am not satisfied with him anyway. Besides, you really look at people with your eyes.
Not so good. On the surface, this man looks humble and polite, but in his heart he is very unruly. He always has a superior attitude, as if he feels that he has a noble background. Although he does not express it in words, his demeanor shows it in his eyes.
Revealed.
