Before dinner, Chen Feng returned to No. 8 Villa.
Wu ngting and Sun Xiaorui both had their own speculations about his recent trip, but they tacitly maintained silence and avoided discussing it.
Although their current relationship was quite good, honestly speaking, there was still a bit of a knot in their hearts.
Wu ngting didn’t need to say it; she held a certain level of hostility towards the other won around Chen Feng because she believed she was the only one who truly loved him, while the others were just after his money, including Sun Xiaorui, who was kept by him.
This alone made it impossible for Wu ngting to have genuine respect for Sun Xiaorui.
As the saying goes, one must have self-respect and self-love to earn respect from others.
Sun Xiaorui naturally had her issues with Wu ngting too. Originally, she and Chen Feng were a pair, but Wu ngting ca into the picture, interfering and squeezing her way in, which naturally didn’t please her.
However, considering that Chen Feng, her major financial backer, recognized Wu ngting as his adopted sister, and she herself was just a lover Chen Feng kept on the side, not the lady of the villa, what could she do?
So, while calling them plastic sisters might be an exaggeration, they certainly weren’t sisters who shared heartfelt connections.
The two won understood each other’s ntality, but on the surface, they got along quite well. Plus, thinking about it, when Chen Feng was away, being alone at ho could be quite dull, lonely, and scary. Having soone there made it better.
Of course, this was only thinking positively. If there was a chance to oust the other, they would be willing to do so, as long as Chen Feng didn’t find out or get upset and angry.
To a certain extent, they opened their hearts and even cooperated, but to another, they remained vigilant against each other.
Like this ti, even if they both suspected that Chen Feng went to see another woman, neither took the initiative to voice this suspicion, mainly out of fear that the other would report to Chen Feng or use them, which would sour things with him.
Furthermore, even if Chen Feng really had another woman outside, there wasn’t much they could do about it; talking wouldn’t help.
Chen Feng, on his part, knew they sotis had superficial harmony, but he didn’t pay much attention to it. He didn’t require them to be as close as real sisters. As long as they didn’t sche against each other, causing unrest at ho, that was enough.
The next morning, after finishing his morning exercise and breakfast, Chen Feng told the two won again before driving out.
This ti, he went out mainly to et Liu Ying’s parents with her, as she had requested.
After all, having shared a bed with her, he had to fulfill so of her requests on the surface.
Another point was, after eting her parents, Liu Ying’s parents would certainly not introduce her to any more suitors, and eting the parents had so restraining effect on Liu Ying to so extent. Or to put it another way, it could stabilize her heart temporarily.
Otherwise, if Liu Ying found another lover, it would make Chen Feng feel a bit uncomfortable.
He didn’t want to share a woman with soone else, at least not while he still maintained an intimate relationship with Liu Ying. It’s human nature.
So, it was sowhat necessary to et her parents with her.
He couldn’t show up at Liu Ying’s ho empty-handed. Without first inquiring about her parents’ preferences, he headed straight to Huichun Hall, planning to buy two pieces of wild ginseng as gifts.
It was quite a coincidence. This was his second visit to Huichun Hall, and he unexpectedly ran into Wen Zihan, the young white coat, again. The first ti he visited, it was Wen Zihan who led him to et the shopkeeper Old Hu, and he managed to sell his natural sheep treasure for a good price.
Judging from Wen Zihan’s casual deanor in Old Hu’s office back then, she undoubtedly had a background.
"You’re the... Chen Feng. Long ti no see. Are you here to sell sothing good again this ti?"
Chen Feng had just t her, and she recognized him instantly. Mainly because Chen Feng had left a deep impression on her; the natural sheep treasure he brought out back then was extrely rare, and it sold for a high price. Moreover, Chen Feng’s na was easy to rember.
"No, Miss Wen, I’m here to buy wild ginseng this ti. Do you have any here?"
Chen Feng didn’t intend to make small talk with her and stated his purpose directly.
Wen Zihan seed quite enthusiastic, quickly saying, "Of course we have wild ginseng. We are Huichun Hall; what kind of herb don’t we have? What grade do you want?"
"Just the ordinary kind, two pieces, preferably under 50,000."
"Oh, that’s fine. I’ll get two for you; follow ."
Chen Feng followed Wen Zihan inside to the innermost herbal counter, where he saw Wen Zihan speak to a middle-aged man in a white coat. The man then took out two boxes containing ginseng from a cabinet and handed them to Wen Zihan.
"Alright, got them." Wen Zihan waved the ginseng boxes slightly at Chen Feng, "These two are genuine wild ginseng, better than the ones in the glass cabinet. I’ll charge you 50,000 for both. If there’s no problem, let’s go over there to write up the bill."
Chen Feng smiled and nodded, "Okay, thank you."
For a first visit, gifts at this price were already sufficient. As for Wen Zihan scamming him, Chen Feng didn’t think she would do that.
And Chen Feng’s calmness and trust pleased Wen Zihan.
Chen Feng imdiately went to the cashier to settle the bill, paid the money, and got the two boxes of ginseng.
"Open them and take a look," Wen Zihan reminded him.
Chen Feng then opened the two boxes and examined them. Inside were two fairly complete pieces of ginseng, with a strong ginseng aroma that was quite pleasant.
"Are these two okay?" Wen Zihan asked with a smile.
Chen Feng didn’t really know, so he could only nod and say, "Mm, they’re okay."
"As long as you’re satisfied. If you need any herbs next ti, you can contact first. I rember we’ve added each other on WeChat."
"Sure, I’ll bother you again if I need anything. I won’t disturb your work anymore. Goodbye."
Chen Feng had no intention of chit-chatting with her, so he said this and was about to leave.
Wen Zihan wanted to say sothing more, but didn’t know what to say at the mont and just waved at Chen Feng, "Alright, see you next ti."
Chen Feng nodded at her and then left Huichun Hall.
His straightforwardness in leaving sohow made Wen Zihan feel a bit uncomfortable. After all, she was a beauty, but apparently had no attraction for Chen Feng.
Chen Feng casually placed the bag holding the two ginseng boxes on the passenger seat, started the GPS, started the car, and drove towards Liu Ying’s ho.
Although Liu Ying lived in the urban area, her ho was actually in the suburbs. It took Chen Feng nearly an hour to reach the entrance of her residential complex.
This was an old residential complex with at least two or three decades of history, as evidenced by the sixty-sothing old man guarding the gate.
For such older complexes, having a doorman was already considered decent; many did not have anyone at the gate.
