Chapter 1372: Chapter 712: Old Ties Rekindled (Part 2)
Chen Feng nodded and said, "It’s possible, everything depends on his own fate. Alright, let’s not talk about him anymore, let’s discuss Mengting’s new drama."
Then the three of them chatted about Wu Mengting’s new drama for a while, until it was nearly nine o’clock, and they ended the conversation for the day, went upstairs together, and returned to their respective rooms.
The night passed without a word.
The next day, Chen Feng didn’t sleep in. Because he fell asleep at ten o’clock last night, he got up at six thirty this morning and went for a jog.
After a few laps, he still didn’t encounter Sun Yanhong, who was supposed to be his new neighbor. Chen Feng was in a good mood, so he went to exercise on the outdoor fitness equipment.
Then he went home to shower, went downstairs to have breakfast with the two women.
This life is just so regular and steady, full of the breath of life.
But today, just after he finished reading the latest Chapters of two serialized novels, he received a call from Sun Yanhong.
He initially wanted to reject the call, but considering she was his neighbor now, if he didn’t take the call, she would definitely visit him in person.
So, Chen Feng answered.
"What’s the matter?" Chen Feng’s tone was not very good.
"I’m outside your front door. Could you open the door? I’ve brought you a gift for new neighbors, a cake I made myself."
"I appreciate your kindness, but it’s not necessary."
"Chen Feng, you’re being unreasonable. After all, we know each other and now I’m your neighbor. Are you not even going to see me?"
"Sun Yanhong, you’re the one being unreasonable. I know your intentions, you’re still thinking of pursuing me, aren’t you? What’s the point? You’re wealthy, not bad looking, you have many men to choose from, why cling to me?"
Chen Feng was really fed up with her, so he spoke bluntly, not pampering her.
"...You’ve misunderstood me. I really just wanted to bring you a gift as a new neighbor, and at most meet you briefly, I didn’t intend to bother you."
"Alright then, just leave the gift at the door. I’m on the toilet right now, so I won’t be coming out. We can meet next time."
This excuse of Chen Feng’s left Sun Yanhong speechless for a while.
However, she also realized that it was pointless to insist further and decided to play the long game.
"Alright, I’ll leave it on the stone pillar to the right of your front door. Remember to come out and take it."
"Okay, thanks."
"I live at D08 now, feel free to visit anytime." ƒгeewebnovёl.com
"Okay."
Sun Yanhong hung up the phone with some helplessness. She indeed never stopped thinking about Chen Feng, especially after knowing Chen Feng had a mysterious background and immense influence, which made him even more irresistibly attractive to her. One important reason for her move here was indeed for Chen Feng.
But she knew it would be hard for Chen Feng to accept her, after all, her reputation wasn’t great and hard to clean up.
Chen Feng obviously minded her bad reputation, which was why he kept rejecting her.
But she couldn’t change that now, so she had no choice but to live close to Chen Feng in hopes of an opportunity to get closer.
Starting as ordinary friends was fine, but unfortunately, it seemed Chen Feng didn’t even want to be just friends with her.
This left her a bit at a loss.
...
After the interlude with Sun Yanhong, no one else disturbed him, and he finally settled down to finish reading the several novels on his bookshelf he had been following.
Before he knew it, it was almost eleven o’clock, and Sister Xue, the housekeeper, was busy in the kitchen, and the aroma of the dishes wafted through the room.
Just then, Chen Feng’s phone suddenly rang.
Chen Feng took a look and was slightly surprised to see it was Zhou Qianru calling, then quickly answered. "Chen Feng, can you come out? I want to meet you."
On the phone, Zhou Qianru’s voice was clearly sobbing, and her tone carried a sense of helplessness, which softened Chen Feng’s heart. He quickly said, "Alright, I’ll come see you right away. Where?" freewebnσvel.cѳm
"I’ll send it to you on WeChat."
"Okay."
Shortly, Zhou Qianru sent him a WeChat location along with a detailed address, which was in a residential area, but not the old house Chen Feng had visited before, and was quite far apart. However, it wasn’t too far from him at Red Villa Bay, only five or six kilometers away.
"Got it, I’m heading over now, should be there in about ten minutes."
"Okay, I’ll wait for you."
Ten minutes later, Chen Feng arrived at the address Zhou Qianru had given him, a slightly older residential area, all condominium buildings.
The security at the entrance, the greenery of the neighborhood, the basic facilities were all well-maintained. And this location, not far from a bustling commercial area, naturally meant the housing prices were exorbitant.
Chen Feng registered at the security booth at the entrance, and after confirmation from Zhou Qianru inside, he was allowed to enter the neighborhood.
On the third floor of one of the condo buildings, the door was ajar. Chen Feng pushed it open and saw Zhou Qianru sitting on the solid wood sofa.
The place was a large three-bedroom, two-living-room apartment, with traditional and elegant furnishings and decorations, full of artistic and cultural atmosphere.
Of course, Chen Feng only briefly scanned the apartment, then focused his attention on Zhou Qianru.
He saw that she looked a bit haggard, her eyes were red and swollen, indicating she had been crying.
"What’s wrong? Is it about your husband? When is his trial?"
Chen Feng asked with concern as he walked over and sat down beside her. Zhou Qianru didn’t answer right away. She just wiped her eyes with a tissue. After a while, she finally spoke in a choked voice, "Ma Wenjiang lied to me all along, he’s a beast. He’s been fooling around with other women all these years. The police have evidence of him exploiting young women, he couldn’t deny it and confessed to everything. Including the girl who tragically fell to her death, he’s not innocent. He paid someone to find her, he didn’t expect her to jump. I trusted him so much and went everywhere for him, only to find out he’s such a scoundrel." With that, she broke down in tears and fell into Chen Feng’s arms, sobbing uncontrollably.
To be fair, she was indeed quite pitiful, having entrusted her feelings and life to a wolf in sheep’s clothing like Ma Wenjiang.
Chen Feng had no way to comfort her, so he just became a fitting listener, lending her a warm and solid shoulder to cry on and release her emotions.
"Now I’m all alone again, sobbing, I don’t know what to do," Zhou Qianru lamented helplessly.
Her mother died when she was young, she lost her father ten years ago, and later married Ma Wenjiang, treating him as both lover and family, trusting him wholeheartedly, only to realize now that she put her trust in the wrong person.
