After talking about my uncle, my mom finally cald down.
After hanging up the video call, Chen Feng thought for a mont and sent Wu ngting a WeChat ssage: [From now on, you mustn't tell my mom about the things we talk about]
Soon after, Wu ngting sent an awkward emoji, followed by a ssage: [I'm sorry, I ntioned it out of habit. It won't happen again next ti.]
[You didn't tell my mom about anything else, did you?]
[No, absolutely not. She still doesn't know you're a billionaire. But how long do you plan to keep it from her? I feel like keeping it a secret isn't good.]
Seeing this ssage, Chen Feng felt relieved but also helpless. He didn't want to reveal his billionaire status to his family, primarily because he was worried it might negatively affect his relationship with them, especially with his brother.
He still valued the affection with his parents and brother very much. After all, such family ties are sothing you have in this life and not the next, more precious than any love or friendship.
He didn't want money to taint those family bonds.
At least for now, his family knows that he has partnered with soone to open a company in Xiu Zhou, with a net worth of several million.
[Take it slow. My family knows I have money, around a few million. Let's just let them gradually accept it.]
[Alright, it's up to you. But are you really not planning to co back with this ti?]
[We'll talk about it the day after tomorrow.]
Originally, Chen Feng didn't want to go back, but when his mom video-called him earlier, it was clear she missed him. Not going back to visit seed unreasonable.
Besides, he didn't have much going on in Xiu Zhou. He was mostly staying at ho, scrolling on his phone, practicing ditation, which he could do just as well back ho.
Additionally, it's been a while since he separated from Guo ngyao. She frequently sent him annoying ssages, hoping he'd find ti to visit her back ho. Although it hadn't been long since he last saw Lin Yujiao, it was evident she also wished for his return.
However, he was used to staying in one place and was reluctant to move.
He hadn't entirely decided to go back yet.
After finishing his WeChat exchange with Wu ngting, Chen Feng lay on the bed in the practice room, scrolling on his phone. After his food settled, he started his daily ditation and practiced tapping into invisible energy.
Those two pieces of oracle bone script, which Chen Feng occasionally took out to absorb energy from, still seed to contain plenty of energy. Besides this, he had his books, paintings, and photography.
Although Chen Feng continued to buy such art pieces with special energy, he did so less frequently now and avoided overpaying for them.
In a while, he planned to go to the hospital for a check-up to see how his brain tumor was doing.
Although he was confident and hopeful that this terminal illness could slowly heal, he wouldn't feel at ease until he had an actual hospital examination.
Another two days of peace passed. On this Saturday, after lunch, Wu ngting was about to set off back to Lu City.
Although Hong Siyu was reluctant, she was pulled by her mom to pack their luggage. The mother and daughter didn't have much luggage when they arrived, but they were leaving with quite a bit—all purchased during their days in Xiu Zhou.
Chen Feng also helped, loading their three people's stuff into the car.
Then, Chen Feng and Sun Xiaorui stood at the villa's gate, watching as Wu ngting's BMW X7 drove off into the distance before they turned their eyes away.
Closing the electric iron gate, Chen Feng laughed and scooped Sun Xiaorui up in his arms, making her gasp and giggle.
He carried her eagerly into the house, and not bothering to go upstairs, he tossed her onto the sofa.
At the sa ti, in the BMW X7, Wu ngting's aunt teasingly asked: "Little Ting, are you really at ease with just Chen Feng and Little Rui alone in the villa?"
Wu ngting paused slightly, about to respond when Hong Siyu, her eyes twinkling, chid in: "Yeah, sis, are you really at ease with them? Just those two, a single man and a young woman alone in such a huge villa, it's quite natural if sothing were to happen. Besides, Sister Rui is so pretty, it wouldn't be odd if Brother-in-law had feelings for her. How about we turn back for a surprise inspection to see if they're up to anything?"
The aunt scolded: "What nonsense are you speaking? Is this sothing a young girl like you should say?"
Hong Siyu pouted: "I'm already nineteen, a full adult. Why shouldn't I talk about it? Besides, I'm not talking nonsense."
"Still talking?" The aunt glared angrily.
Frightened, Hong Siyu imdiately retracted and dared not say more.
After hesitation, Wu ngting said: "Auntie, I think you might have already guessed. Yes, Little Rui is his lover."
Although the aunt had suspected it long ago, hearing Wu ngting confirm it left her dumbfounded.
And Hong Siyu was thoroughly shocked. Most of her agreent with her mom's comnt was in jest, internally though a bit suspicious, she deed it unlikely.
But now, with her cousin affirming her suspicion, she was naturally astonished.
What's more astounding was realizing her cousin had long known Sun Xiaorui was Chen Feng's lover, yet chose to live with her boyfriend and his lover.
This situation was quite beyond Hong Siyu's comprehension.
After recovering from the shock, the aunt asked: "Since you knew, why did you allow her to live here?"
Wu ngting sighed: "Before I beca an official couple with Brother Feng, she had already been his kept woman, living together."
"Oh my, she… she was kept by Brother-in-law?" Hong Siyu's worldview was once again upended.
However, neither Wu ngting nor the aunt paid heed to her words. Keeping mistresses wasn't considered unusual, though commonplace, it's not infrequent in today's society. Hong Siyu, being a young girl, was excessively surprised.
"Didn't you demand Chen Feng to break it off with her?" The aunt asked again.
"I did, but he refused. Even under my breakup threat, he was unwilling to part with her, and I had no other way. Plus, I didn't want to break up with him either."
"How's that acceptable? This matter can't just be left like this. You must find a way to make them separate." The aunt protested on behalf of Wu ngting.
"I had already agreed with him on a period of six months after which he'd devote himself entirely to . Now, there are only two or three months left until the end of the six-month period."
Upon hearing this, the aunt finally breathed a sigh of relief, saying: "If that's the case, Chen Feng isn't beyond redemption. Be reasonable. n are rarely loyal, especially soone like Chen Feng, rich and handso, he doesn't need to chase won; plenty will throw themselves at him.
If, after your agreed period, he truly devotes himself to you, then sotis, as won, it's possible to turn a blind eye as long as he doesn't go too far. For example, living directly with Little Rui under the sa roof as you, that's really too much. I'm truly surprised that Little Rui has an affair with him. It shows that people can't be judged by appearances."
