Chapter 202: Chapter 136: Lin Yujiao’s Inferiority_2Lin Yujiao, slightly dazed, finally came to her senses and her face broke into a smile as she said, "Hello, you are really pretty." "Thank you," replied Wu Mengting with a smile of her own before changing the subject, "We plan to visit Bay Town this afternoon. Brother Feng mentioned it to you, right? We are going to need your help as our guide." "He mentioned it, no trouble at all. Bay Town is my hometown, but it has been years since I’ve properly enjoyed myself there. This time, I’ll have fun with you. I heard they’ve just built a seafront promenade which should be quite nice. We can go check it out this afternoon." "The seafront promenade?" Wu Mengting, who also loved exploring, happily said, "Then we’ll have a good time this afternoon." "Yep, besides the seafront promenade, there’s also the beach." Lin Yujiao went on to introduce a few spots in Bay Town, piquing Wu Mengting’s interest. Consequently, the two women started chatting about the scenery and the cuisine, presenting a harmonious scene. Chen Feng, on the other hand, hadn’t spoken much but was focused on working out on several pieces of exercise equipment. After about ten minutes, he called out to them to get going. The two women continued to chat as they walked, seemingly having a great time, which surprised Chen Feng. However, thinking of how Sun Xiaorui and Wu Mengting now seemed like "sisters," he made peace with it. At the crossroads, they parted ways; Chen Feng went home with Wu Mengting, and Lin Yujiao returned to her rented room behind the shop—a small place just big enough for one person. Lin Yujiao didn’t use to mind, but now, watching Chen Feng and Wu Mengting walking side by side on their way home, she couldn’t help but feel a pang of sourness. After all, she was somewhat a mistress kept in the shadows; Chen Feng would never bring her home to meet the family openly. Meanwhile, Wu Mengting was Chen Feng’s sworn sister and was respected enough to be brought home and to stay there. By comparison, she felt quite the failure and as if she were less than others. All she could do was recall the thirty thousand yen Chen Feng had transferred to her the night before. Not counting the seven thousand yen he’d given her earlier, that made a total of thirty-seven thousand yen given directly to her, and this was just the first month. Chen Feng said he would send her thirty thousand yen each month to come. Such a large sum was rather uncommon. After all, thirty-six thousand yen a year was more than what she earned from running her clothing store through hard work. Hence, thinking of the tangible money Chen Feng had given her, she shouldn’t have been dissatisfied, yet her heart was nevertheless uncomfortable. The crux of it was that Wu Mengting was outright and proper with Chen Feng, while she couldn’t be open about her relationship with him, even if it wasn’t exactly secretive. Moreover, Wu Mengting’s overall status far surpassed her own, which inevitably made her feel inferior and somewhat self-pitying. Watching Chen Feng and Wu Mengting go home together, Lin Yujiao then turned back with a vague sense of depression to her rented place. When Chen Feng and Wu Mengting returned home, his dad was at the small store, and his mom was already busy in the kitchen. Wu Mengting quickly went over to help, only to be sent by Zhao Xiaolan to take a shower first. The lunch was very sumptuous, almost like a New Year’s feast, with a full table of dishes—twelve in total, three of which were cooked by Wu Mengting. Besides the two nieces in kindergarten, the whole family was present for lunch, even Chen Rui came back from the car beauty shop. Everyone had a happy meal, and sister-in-law Li Guihong, who sat next to Wu Mengting today, took the initiative to ask her many questions, including those about her parents and family. Wu Mengting was anything but impatient, openly talking about her family, including her parents’ jobs and where they lived in the city. Her candid demeanor and natural attitude earned unanimous praise from the Chen family. And the three dishes she cooked received endless compliments. In fact, they tasted even better than those made by Zhao Xiaolan. Chen Feng, of course, knew this already. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be so reluctant to let go of Wu Mengting and sever their relationship. For someone with a terminal illness and running out of time, enjoying the pleasures of food was clearly important. On the brink of death, one might as well indulge in good food, drinks, and fun, otherwise, what would be the point of this life? The meal lasted over an hour before they finished. Wu Mengting helped clear the table and volunteered to do the dishes, but Zhao Xiaolan firmly refused. Seeing this, Wu Mengting could only give up but remained by Zhao Xiaolan’s side to chat. Their conversation lasted a while until all the dishes were washed. Through this meal, Wu Mengting could be said to have won the unanimous affection and support of Chen Feng’s entire family. This made Chen Feng somewhat helpless, but he wasn’t too bothered. Since he would be going to Xiu Zhou after the New Year and didn’t know how much longer he would live, he certainly didn’t need to worry about his mom pressuring him to marry Wu Mengting. Around two o’clock in the afternoon, Chen Feng and Wu Mengting left to meet up with Lin Yujiao and drive to Bay Town. Their first stop was the seafront promenade, where the scenery was really nice. Even in winter, with a rather strong sea breeze, there were still many tourists. The promenade wound along the sea cliffs for almost two kilometers, representing a significant investment. The trio walked the length of the promenade, stopping here and there to take photos. By the time they headed back, the sky had turned dark. Today’s journey came to a temporary end. However, they could continue to explore Bay Town tomorrow, as Lin Yujiao offered to take them to the beach for barbecue and seafood. When they got home at about half-past seven, Wu Mengting finally met Little Yu and Little Xue and quickly pulled out the toys she had bought at the supermarket on her way back, instantly winning their favor.
