Chapter 654: Chapter 357 You Are Truly a Bastard_2
"Alright then, if you insist on meeting my parents, I have no choice. If you want, I can take you to meet them right now."
Hearing Chen Feng say this, Guo Mengyao’s face finally brightened: "Who visits at night? Let’s do it tomorrow morning. I’ll drive over in the morning. Just send me the location then."
"Okay. Come over tomorrow. It’s getting late, and don’t you need to go home and see your daughter? Let’s go."
Chen Feng stood up again, and this time she stood up with him.
It was about nine in the evening when he got home.
The small shop at home was still open, with a group of old ladies playing mahjong and watching others play. Zhao Xiaolan and Wu Mengting were among them. Zhao Xiaolan was playing, and Wu Mengting stood behind her, watching and advising.
Wu Mengting went to great lengths to please Zhao Xiaolan, this "future mother-in-law."
Originally, she didn’t know how to play mahjong. When she came to Chen Feng’s house last year, she saw that Zhao Xiaolan liked it, so she learned. She even practiced for a while, often playing online with her phone, and actually developed decent skills.
Now she was more than capable of advising Zhao Xiaolan on mahjong, and naturally, this earned her a lot of favor from Zhao Xiaolan.
While Chen Feng admired her, he couldn’t help but internally call her a "suck-up."
Seeing Chen Feng return, Zhao Xiaolan didn’t even lift an eyelid, remaining focused on her tiles, while Wu Mengting simply winked at him without saying anything.
Instead, a few local old ladies joked around with Chen Feng.
"Ah Feng, when are you and Little Ting getting married?"
"Ah Feng, how did you manage to win over such a pretty girl like Little Ting? Why not teach my boy?"
"Little Ting, Ah Feng is back, go with him and don’t help your future mother-in-law anymore."
...
Chen Feng could only smile awkwardly, nodding and greeting these old ladies before quickly heading upstairs to his room.
The newly added room on the first floor was surely occupied by Wu Mengting, so he could only sleep in his old room on the second floor.
He took a shower first, then lay down in his room for a short while before Wu Mengting came over.
"Why did you take so long? Were you with Mengyao at the hotel until now?"
Wu Mengting sat naturally on the edge of the bed and asked Chen Feng casually.
Of course, Chen Feng wasn’t so foolish as to be entirely honest, but he also couldn’t lie to her. So he said, "We hadn’t seen each other for some time, so we went shopping, then had dinner, and chatted at a tea house until now. By the way, she’s planning to come over to my place tomorrow for a visit and to look around. If you’re free, you could join us."
"Does she know that I’m here?" Wu Mengting asked with a slight frown.
"Yes, she knows. I also made it clear to her that we’re just friends, and I told her you’re the designated daughter-in-law by my parents. So, you don’t need to worry. She’s just curious about my home situation and came to have a look and play around."
Upon hearing this, Wu Mengting seemed to relax, smiling as she said, "If she’s really just here to play around, I’d be happy to accompany her. I’m somewhat familiar with the area, and I can be her guide."
"That would be best. Without you along, accompanying her alone wouldn’t look good if seen by people who know me."
"I hope you’ll be mindful of appearances. After all, she’s your high school classmate, and her parents are locals in Lin Nan. I think you shouldn’t get too carried away hanging out with her."
Though Wu Mengting had a "gentleman’s agreement" with him, Guo Mengyao was still Chen Feng’s high school classmate and a business partner, which understandably made her uneasy.
Moreover, she was not naïve; she knew that Guo Mengyao’s visit to Chen Feng’s house wasn’t simply for a look around, especially knowing she was there.
Chen Feng couldn’t do much about it. If possible, he would’ve preferred Guo Mengyao not come to his home.
Wu Mengting also talked to Chen Feng about the affairs related to Mengyao Cosmetics, mentioning she would take the chance of being back to look into the accounts at Mengyao Cosmetics tomorrow. As the second largest shareholder of Mengyao Cosmetics, Chen Feng had the right to check the accounts, and as his appointed assistant, it was Wu Mengting’s duty.
Chen Feng was not oblivious; this was undoubtedly Wu Mengting’s way of countering Guo Mengyao, and she did it fittingly.
Both women were no pushovers. Chen Feng just hoped they wouldn’t end up in a big argument the next day.
After Wu Mengting left, Chen Feng replied to a few messages and then went to bed early.
At seven the next morning, Chen Feng got up on time. He intended to go for a morning run, but Guo Mengyao sent him a message early, saying she’d already set off driving to Qingpu Town and asking for his location.
Chen Feng quickly sent her the location along with his home’s exact address.
By the time he finished in the bathroom, washed his face, brushed his teeth, and went downstairs for breakfast, just about ten minutes later, another message from Guo Mengyao came in, stating she’d arrived and parked her car near an outdoor gym area not far from his house, and asked him to go meet her.
She was fast.
So Chen Feng only had time to tell his mother, who just opened the shop, that a friend was visiting before he went out to meet Guo Mengyao.
Leaving the house, he quickly spotted Guo Mengyao’s BMW X6 from a distance.
Chen Feng quickened his pace to the car and as the door opened, a fully made-up Wu Mengyao stepped out.
Today, she was wearing black stockings and high heels, with a white chiffon blouse and brown skirt, exuding an intellectual and elegant vibe.
That made Chen Feng pause for a couple of seconds.
"I bought some gifts for your parents. Could you help me get them out of the trunk?"
Guo Mengyao naturally instructed Chen Feng.
"Oh, okay." Chen Feng snapped out of it, agreed, and went to the trunk to take out several gift boxes. There were ginseng, bird’s nest, and amino acids— all health supplements.
"I wasn’t sure what your parents like, so I just bought some health supplements."
"Just a couple would be enough. No need for so many; they can’t consume it all."
"It’s necessary. Just help me carry them, and let’s go, lead the way."
Guo Mengyao, holding two gift boxes in her hands, calmly indicated for Chen Feng to lead the way.
Seeing this, Chen Feng stopped saying more, carried two gift boxes in each hand, and led the way upfront. The click-clack of Guo Mengyao’s high-heeled black stockings and her intellectual attire followed behind him.
They reached his home in less than two minutes.
Under his mother’s stern gaze, Chen Feng braced himself and introduced, "Mom, this is my high school classmate Guo Mengyao. She’s over to visit us and hang out with Mengting too."
