Chapter 205: Chapter 137 Looking for Someone to Discuss Item_2"The Wang family definitely can’t justify their stance. Right now, they’re just looking for someone to take their anger out on, and Fang Xiaoyue has been identified as the instigator by them, so they’re focusing all their fury on her. I’m just worried that your eldest uncle’s influence might not be enough, or they might agree to our faces but still retaliate against Xiaoyue behind our backs." The two always spoke so directly to each other. Qin Zhen didn’t find Chen Feng’s words unpleasant and, after some thought, said, "We have to try anyway. If it doesn’t work, we can think of a solution together. We definitely have to help Xiaoyue out to the end." "You seem quite enthusiastic about her. Don’t tell me there’s some hidden story between you two?" Chen Feng teased with a laugh. "A hidden story my ass. I just told you, she’s my neighbor and an old classmate of mine. Of course, I’ll help her if I can, especially since you came to me for help. I’ve got to save face for you, don’t I?" "Dammit! You make it sound like I owe you a favor." "Haha, it’s the other way around," Qin Zhen laughed. "You’ve helped me make a good deal of money. I owe you a bit of gratitude. That Huiji Eye Medicine you recommended to me started to surge yesterday. How could I not give you face?" "Oh, it surged?" Chen Feng was somewhat surprised, but not too surprised. He had the Midas touch when it comes to stocks. It would be weird if the stocks he bought didn’t rise. The fact that it only surged yesterday was a bit strange. "You didn’t know?" Qin Zhen asked back, astonished. "After I bought it, I don’t really check it unless I’ve decided to sell." "...You’re awesome!" "All right. Just put your heart into Fang Xiaoyue’s issue. Help if you can. Of course, if you find it too difficult, you don’t need to do it for me. After all, I’m not that close to Fang Xiaoyue. You’re my good friend, my brother, not her. Do you understand what I mean?" "It’s just a matter of speaking to someone, not as difficult as you imagine. I know what I’m doing." "Then great. Should I give Fang Xiaoyue your mobile number so she can contact you?" "No need, no need. Since you didn’t tell her it was me who would help, let’s not make it awkward. I also don’t want the trouble." "Then, when it’s done, I’ll tell her. After all, you’re the one helping; I can’t take credit for your work." "You really are something. What’s this about credit or no credit? Would I care about that?" "OK. You may not care, but I do. Anyway, just make sure this thing gets done." "Fine, I’ll contact my eldest uncle in a bit and ask him to speak on our behalf. I suppose he still has some clout." "Mhm, let’s go with that for now." ... After hanging up, Chen Feng called Fang Xiaoyue. "How’s it going?" The moment the call connected, Fang Xiaoyue hurriedly asked, her voice tense. "I’ve made contact. My friend happens to have a relative who’s acquainted with Wang Guowei, decades of friendship. Their families owe each other favors, it’s just uncertain whether Wang Guowei will honor his relative’s face. We should have news tomorrow. Just be patient and wait." "That’s great. Thank you, Chen Feng. I don’t even know how to express my gratitude. If this works out, you’ll have saved my life," Fang Xiaoyue said, both grateful and excited. "The matter isn’t settled yet. Wait till it’s done to thank me." "Regardless of whether it works out or not, I owe you big time," said Fang Xiaoyue sincerely. "Alright, don’t worry too much. Even if it doesn’t work out, they shouldn’t blatantly target you." "Sigh! I hope that’s the case." ... Chen Feng didn’t say much more to her and hung up after offering a few words of comfort. He went back home, had dinner with Wu Mengting, and then spent some time chatting with his mom in the kitchen before they each went to their rooms to rest. However, after ten at night, when the small shop closed and his parents had returned to their rooms, Chen Feng sneaked out and headed over to Lin Yujiao’s place. Chen Feng had already arranged with her through WeChat to enter through the back door of the shop she rented; she had left the door open for him. Her rented room for sleeping was on the first floor, not very large, just about ten square meters, and connected to the clothing shop in front. When Chen Feng entered the room, he didn’t rush things and just lie down and talk with her for a while. Lin Yujiao was very curious as to why Chen Feng wouldn’t accept Wu Mengting, a great beauty. Chen Feng only said that he didn’t want to get married right now, so he couldn’t give her the result she wanted, and could only let her down, otherwise, he would be harming her. Lin Yujiao said, "You can resist making a move on her, seems like you really love her." Chen Feng was stunned for a moment, then quickly denied it, "How could that be possible? I like her, but it’s far from true love." Lin Yujiao shook her head and said, "If you didn’t truly love her, how could you resist making a move on such a beauty? You weren’t so hesitant with me, trying every trick in the book to sleep with me after knowing me for just two days." Chen Feng thought to himself that it wasn’t really him trying every trick in the book, rather it was her who had mistakenly thought he had done her a big favor, which led to their... success. "Don’t overthink it. I do like Mengting, but it’s not true love. I just don’t want the hassle, that’s why I didn’t make a move. With you, it is true love, otherwise, I wouldn’t have gone out of my way to win you over. I didn’t put as much effort into Mengting as I did with you; I put all my heart into chasing you." Lin Yujiao, having heard what Chen Feng said, finally smiled, kissed him proactively and said, "I know you’re lying, but I like hearing it." Chen Feng, with a look of being wrongly accused, said, "I’m not lying. If I didn’t like you, how could I possibly put so much effort into chasing you and even give you thirty thousand a month?" Lin Yujiao said with a smile, "Okay, okay. I believe you." But her tone was somewhat perfunctory. Chen Feng, of course, wasn’t actually going to quibble over this, especially since he had indeed just told a lie. Like is like, but how could it possibly be true love? After all, they had only known each other for a few days, lust at first sight was more like it. Of course, thirty thousand a month to provide for her was definitely an overpayment. But Chen Feng was willing and didn’t feel it was a loss; after "testing the product," it could even be said to be extremely good value. One person paid money, the other provided their skills and body; it was consensual, very frank and reasonable. Around one o’clock, Chen Feng then sneakily crept back home, enjoying a good night’s sleep. The next morning, the rain started to fall, so jogging was out of the question, and there was no playing around in Bay Town either, so Chen Feng and Wu Mengting just stayed at home. After breakfast, Wu Mengting took the initiative to go to the small store in front of their house to deepen her relationship with Zhao Xiaolan, while Chen Feng went to the room she was currently sleeping in to look at paintings and absorb energy. After his exercise session with Lin Yujiao the night before, he felt he had weakened a bit. Chen Feng guessed it might be related to not absorbing "Art Energy" the day before and the day before that. So, he went over to absorb some first thing this morning. This thing was also somewhat addictive, a day without it, and he would feel out of sorts all over. While Chen Feng was enjoying the absorption, in the special care ward of Lu City’s First Hospital, Wang Kangjian was lying there, looking defeated, motionless, and with lifeless eyes. Beside him, his mother Chu Xiaohong wiped away tears while trying to comfort him, "Kang Kang, don’t worry. The doctor said that as long as you persist with physical therapy and cooperate with the treatment, your legs will recover." Wang Kangjian remained motionless, unresponsive. Just as Chu Xiaohong was about to say more, Wang Guowei pushed the door and came in, his expression somewhat grim. "Guowei, come and persuade Kang Kang." Wang Guowei ignored his wife’s words and said with a stern face, "Let’s just let Fang Xiaoyue go. Stop making things difficult for her." "What?!" Chu Xiaohong immediately became displeased and angrily said, "How can we just let it go when that bitch hurt our son like this?" Wang Guowei sighed and said, "She got Qin Zhen to speak for her, and Director Feng is also protecting her, so they refused to find a reason to fire her." "Qin Zhen? Ji?" Chu Xiaohong was somewhat surprised, "What’s her relationship with this bitch?" "His nephew was her high school classmate, and they apparently have a good relationship; the two families are also neighbors. And his nephew is now the deputy chief of a police station in Xiu Zhou, not even thirty years old, very promising. Ji has had decades of friendship with us, he also helped me a lot in the past, we have to give face to him and his nephew, same with Director Feng." "So we’re just going to let this bitch off?" Chu Xiaohong asked, unwilling to let it go. "For now, at least, we shouldn’t trouble her. Otherwise, it would look bad for Ji and Director Feng." "...Fine, then we’ll let her off for now. But we must avenge our son one day." Chu Xiaohong spoke through gritted teeth, eliciting a silent shake of the head from Wang Guowei, a doting mother often spoils her children, their own son had still accomplished nothing to this day, already divorced, and now in this state; half the blame lay with her.
