Upon hearing Liu Ying say this, Chen Feng felt a bit embarrassed.
However, Chen Feng didn’t an to provoke her intentionally. It’s just that they hadn’t been in touch for so many years; suddenly reconnecting and having a good conversation, it was inevitable that the discussion beca a bit deep and he spoke from the heart.
"No, definitely not," Chen Feng hurriedly denied, "I just sighed a little. Your ex-husband cheated, and not just once; divorcing him was sothing you had no choice but to do. The child is sowhat innocent, but the main responsibility isn’t on you."
With Chen Feng’s words, Liu Ying’s mood slightly cald down, and she sighed, "No matter what, as a mother, I’m responsible. But I couldn’t help it; I was fed up with my ex-husband’s betrayals, and after all these years, I really can’t get used to life abroad."
"Yeah, no matter how good abroad is, it’s not our country. Plus, there are undeserved discrimination and marginalization from locals. The actual experience and treatnt are akin to being second-class citizens, feeling inferior."
"That’s right. Although on the surface, those foreigners don’t show discriminatory behavior, in reality, many discriminate against us Asians, especially Asian n. As an Asian woman, it’s slightly better, but in everyday life, I’ve had more or less experiences of discrimination and differential treatnt. Coupled with lifestyle habits and customs that are entirely different from ours back ho, not to ntion the food. Overall, it’s not as comfortable as living in our own country."
"So is your plan to live in the country long term?"
"Yes, I plan to settle in Xiu Zhou, where it’s convenient to care for my parents."
"That’s pretty good."
"Are you free tonight? Let’s et up, grab a coffee; it’s on ." Liu Ying suddenly extended an invitation.
Chen Feng wasn’t surprised, just curiously asked in response, "Just the two of us?"
"Of course. Do you want it to be many people?"
"Not really."
"Then it’s settled. Tonight at the Mika Coffee House on Long River Road, seven o’clock, don’t be late."
"Alright then. I’ll be there."
Chen Feng initially thought of asking her why she wanted to et, but felt it might spoil the mood, so he refrained from asking.
Regarding whether Liu Ying, the class beauty, wanted to rekindle past feelings with him, Chen Feng was unsure. However, deep down, Chen Feng definitely wouldn’t reject reconnecting over past student relationships between a man and a woman.
Anyway, both of them are divorced now, both single, and they’ve both turned thirty, so there’s not much reservation regarding certain things.
"Alright then, let’s leave it at that. I’ll hang up now."
"Okay, goodbye."
Soon after hanging up, Chen Feng received a WeChat friend request from Liu Ying, which he accepted.
However, they didn’t chat much on WeChat after that.
Now it was almost four in the afternoon, Chen Feng kept away his phone and left the practice room upstairs; upon going downstairs, he saw two won rearranging so decorations in the living room. They mainly wanted to replace the quite decent-looking wooden furniture because they felt its design seed a bit old-fashioned and wanted sothing youthful.
After consulting Chen Feng, he didn’t object, and so over the next couple of days, they collectively purchased a new set of furniture including a coffee table, sofa, chairs, etc., which wasn’t very expensive, totaling over fifty thousand, paid for by Chen Feng, of course.
"Bro, how do you find this setup?"
Upon seeing Chen Feng co down, Wu ngting quickly inquired.
Chen Feng nodded in approval, "It’s good, definitely more comfortable than before."
"That’s great."
The two won quickly outfitted the living room on the first floor anew, and it indeed looked better than before.
Chen Feng naturally went over and sat on the newly bought leather sofa. This sofa cost over thirty thousand, which might be pricey for an ordinary family, but for this villa, it seed sowhat cheap.
However, Chen Feng tried sitting for a bit and felt quite good; it was comfortable, much more so than the previous wooden long bench.
"Bro, Xiaowan knows we’ve moved and saw so photos of this place from my WeChat Monts, saying she wants to co over as a guest. Is that alright?"
Seeing Chen Feng’s expression was quite good, Wu ngting seized the opportunity to bring up Lin Wan’s request to visit.
In fact, a few days earlier, Lin Wan had expressed her desire to co and see this ultra-luxurious villa, but Wu ngting had been putting it off. Now, seeing that they’re about to go abroad for a trip, she couldn’t delay any longer and had to explain to Chen Feng.
"If she just wants to co over for a look, that’s absolutely fine. But don’t kindly offer to let her stay, including at the previous villa. I’m not considering renting out the previous one for now. Depending on the situation, I might even sell it."
Wu ngting felt a bit awkward hearing this, as Lin Wan had indeed been wanting to stay with her again. Even though they only co-rented for a few months earlier, Lin Wan had beco quite spoiled by her, hardly doing any household chores and being able to eat the ready als cooked by Wu ngting daily.
Especially after living in the Lakefront Villa with Wu ngting for a period, returning to the older rented apartnt in the previous neighborhood was really hard to get used to.
Especially when she co-rented with two other classmates last ti; there were various discomforts and even so conflicts. She now lived alone, rather pressed and uncomfortable, in a rented room only thirty square ters large within a shared apartnt, with a shared bathroom, despite occupying just one bedroom. Even so, the monthly rent was eighteen hundred.
This really made her living quality far worse than before.
Lin Wan told Wu ngting all these issues, complaining to her. Although Wu ngting felt sympathetic, she couldn’t arbitrarily agree to continue cohabiting with Lin Wan.
However, since they moved to No. 8 Villa, and the other villa beca vacant, Wu ngting had considered finding the right opportunity to plead with Chen Feng about letting Lin Wan live there.
But now hearing what Chen Feng said, it’s apparent that’s impossible.
Wu ngting couldn’t do much about it; although Lin Wan was her friend and had helped her out at the start, she had reciprocated appropriately, really owing nothing to Lin Wan.
She naturally wouldn’t foolishly think of leaving Chen Feng to co-rent with Lin Wan; she wouldn’t continue being Lin Wan’s free caretaker.
