Li Guihong also had a look of happiness on her face. Initially, she did not agree with her husband’s decision to invest in this newly opened store because they had planned to use the money to buy a house. If they invested in it, the plan to buy a house would have to be delayed.
But this auto beauty shop really made money, and with Chen Feng vouching for it, and considering it involved her mother-in-law’s beloved younger brother, she could only complain behind her husband’s back, not daring to oppose.
Now, hearing such good news, she naturally had a reason to be happy.
However, Zhao Xiaolan saw her eldest son with a bright smile, but she was sowhat displeased and said with a stern face: "Your uncle got beaten up, and you’re still so happy? Do you feel okay about it? Tomorrow morning, find so ti to visit your uncle."
Chen Rui quickly wiped off his smile upon hearing this and obediently nodded, saying: "Okay, Mom."
Years of bloody lessons had made Chen Rui dare not say he couldn’t make ti due to being busy at the shop.
Li Guihong also hurriedly wiped off her smile, putting on a serious face.
Chen Feng watched from the side, amused. At ho, his mom, the old Cixi, could really keep things in check.
After dinner, Chen Feng returned to his room and finally had the chance to check his unread ssages.
Guo ngyao: [Why didn’t you answer my call?]
More than three hours ago, Guo ngyao called him while he was talking with Qin Zhen and the others, so he directly hung up and didn’t answer. Later, he forgot about it. When he rembered, he didn’t rush to contact her.
Chen Feng felt that Guo ngyao seed to be growing fond of him again, which wasn’t a good sign, so there was no need to spoil her, much less be at her beck and call, replying imdiately to every ssage.
Moreover, thinking about why Guo ngyao might be contacting him, it was likely related to her divorce from her husband, and Chen Feng really didn’t want to get too involved.
So, after seeing her ssage, Chen Feng did not imdiately reply.
Instead, he checked his other unread ssages.
Wu ngting: [My dad’s okay, just hypertension, an old problem. Let know when you’re back in Xiu Zhou, and we can head out together.]
Wu ngting had initially planned to accompany Chen Feng alongside Lin Yujiao to the hospital to visit his uncle. Instead, she rushed to Lin Nan but hadn’t entered the hospital yet when an urgent call from her mother summoned her back, saying her dad suddenly felt unwell and needed ergency dical attention.
Of course, Wu ngting rushed back to Lu City’s downtown area, and seeing this, Chen Feng didn’t take Lin Yujiao alone to visit his uncle at the hospital. Otherwise, his uncle would have misunderstood.
After all, Lin Yujiao was just his mistress, not his girlfriend. Lin Yujiao didn’t say anything and went back to Qingpu on her own.
After seeing Wu ngting’s ssage, Chen Feng replied: [Then I’m relieved, just make sure your father pays more attention to his health, eat sensibly, and exercise appropriately.]
Wu ngting instantly replied with a "Thank you."
In fact, Wu ngting had been tricked into going ho by both her mom and dad this ti. The reason was simple; they didn’t want her to go to Lin Nan again or associate with Chen Feng.
Last ti, Wu ngting went to Lin Nan saying she was visiting an old classmate and claid she was staying at their ho, but she was actually staying at Chen Feng’s.
This ti, Wu ngting tried the sa trick but t with her parents’ staunch opposition, who suggested her classmate could co to visit her instead. Ultimately, unable to win, they reluctantly agreed for her to stay there for just one day before coming back.
The result was Wu ngting stayed there for three days without returning, leaving them no choice but to deceive her into coming ho.
Of course, Wu ngting was furious but her parents begged her not to fall deeper into trouble, not to fall for soone with a terminal illness. Her mom even nearly knelt for her, so she could only temporarily compromise and stay ho.
Chen Feng didn’t know the details; even if he did, he would have advised her to listen to her parents.
Wu ngting likely thought of this, so she didn’t ntion it to Chen Feng.
Lin Yujiao ssaged Chen Feng about ten minutes ago.
[Will you co over tonight?]
Chen Feng thought about it, felt exhausted these two days, and quickly replied with two words: [Not going]
Lin Yujiao instantly replied with an "Oh."
Chen Feng wasn’t interested in pondering the internal aning behind her "Oh," put down his phone, took off his clothes, and went to shower.
After the shower, he had just stepped out of the bathroom when a call ca in. Seeing it was from Guo ngyao, he hesitated before answering.
"ngyao, what’s up?"
Chen Feng casually inquired.
"You didn’t answer when I called before and didn’t reply to my WeChat either," Guo ngyao said with a hint of resentnt.
Chen Feng naturally said: "I was busy at the ti, later forgot about it. I haven’t checked WeChat yet. I was really busy today."
"What were you busy with, busy enough to only now have ti to answer my call?"
"My uncle was beaten up and is hospitalized; I just got back from the hospital."
"Ah, I see, how badly is your uncle injured?" Guo ngyao’s tone softened imdiately.
"Not severely, but enough to be considered a minor injury. He might be hospitalized for a few days."
"Oh, that’s good." After a pause, Guo ngyao switched back to the main issue with a complex tone: "I went to the detention center in the afternoon, my ex-husband has already signed. I’m single now."
Chen Feng was taken aback and asked: "Did your husband, I an your ex-husband, accept the terms you ntioned earlier?"
"Of course. He only quickly glanced at the agreent and imdiately signed. However, when I saw him, he looked rather miserable, with bruises all over, even limping, and when he saw , his eyes were full of hatred and fear. Why don’t you tell , what exactly did you do to him?"
Chen Feng was speechless. Thinking, damn, I really didn’t do anything.
But hearing from Guo ngyao’s tone, her ex-husband was severely beaten in the detention center, not just a little, then pinned the bla on them, otherwise, he wouldn’t have signed the divorce agreent so quickly.
After thinking for a while, Chen Feng honestly said: "I didn’t do anything to him. He might have misunderstood."
"Why are you still keeping things from ?" Guo ngyao complained, then whispered, "Did you send people to rough him up inside? He really looked quite miserable. Since he already signed the divorce agreent, you don’t need to have people do this to him anymore."
Chen Feng said with so frustration and indignation: "It’s really not . I didn’t send anyone to deal with him."
"Then who did? And how did he happen to mistakenly think we sent soone? How could there be such coincidences?" Guo ngyao didn’t believe him.
Chen Feng speculated: "It might be the ones who attacked him, or the injured victims of the car accident, it’s possible."
Guo ngyao considered this and said: "That’s possible, but why does he think we sent people? Plus... I’ve subtly promised him no one would rough him up anymore. If it wasn’t you, then won’t he still be roughed up?"
At the end, thinking about her ex-husband’s miserable appearance, Guo ngyao couldn’t help but feel so pity.
