CHAPTER 377: CHAPTER 220: MAYBE IT WAS A MISDIAGNOSIS_2

She was very happy to hear this. Anyone with keen eyes could see Hong Xiaodan was up to something with Chen Feng. And she was so shameless and arrogant, completely disregarding Wu Mengting and Sun Xiaorui, the two "mistresses of the house." How could they tolerate it?

Fortunately, Chen Feng personally intervened, showing no mercy as he shut Hong Xiaodan out, personally helping them deal with this rival.

Chen Feng wasn’t particularly proud or happy, just shook his head without speaking. Last time, he mainly handled her that way because he found her unbearable.

Sure enough, afterwards Hong Xiaodan called his aunt to complain, adding fuel to the fire with her accusations, leading his aunt to give him a good scolding over the phone.

His aunt was quite reasonable, but Hong Xiaodan personally called her to complain, crying and wailing. Of course, his aunt had to make a show of it; after all, Chen Feng made her cry. It was somewhat disrespectful to his aunt, wasn’t it?

That’s exactly what Hong Xiaodan told Chen Xiaoxia, that Chen Feng didn’t care about his aunt at all. Regardless, Hong Xiaodan was introduced to him by Chen Xiaoxia, and Chen Xiaoxia and her mother were good friends. Chen Feng disrespected Hong Xiaodan like this, thus disrespecting Chen Xiaoxia.

After being scolded by his aunt on the phone, Chen Feng was naturally a bit depressed, but he couldn’t act out.

Moreover, Hong Xiaodan was a girl, and thinking back, he was indeed a bit excessive in not giving her any face.

When the two returned home, Sun Xiaorui had already gotten up, and the three of them had breakfast together before Chen Feng went upstairs to shower.

After showering, Chen Feng went to the practice room to meditate and cultivate energy, sitting for nearly an hour.

Through practice over time, he could sit cross-legged on one side for an hour, and had grasped the knack of entering a deep meditative state, usually calming his mind and entering it within a few minutes using diaphragmatic breathing, then sitting for an hour unknowingly.

In a deep meditative state, time can fly by; you feel it’s only been a dozen minutes, but when you open your eyes and check the time, it’s actually an hour.

Sure enough, after practicing for some time, he felt a vague sense of energy in his lower abdomen. This might have been an illusion, but it was harmless to his body.

He also noticed that through this meditation practice, he had become more calm and composed in temperament, viewing things with greater equanimity.

After all, being idle was a waste, so Chen Feng planned to meditate regularly.

Coming downstairs, usually at this hour, the two women had either returned from the vegetable market, or were still out. Chen Feng watched TV, scrolled on his phone, drank tea in the living room, waiting for the two women to make him lunch.

Today was about the same; the two women hadn’t returned from the market, and Chen Feng followed his usual routine, lounging on the sofa watching TV, scrolling through his phone, until the sound of the door opening announced Wu Mengting and Sun Xiaorui had returned.

However, this time they brought someone along, the one they hadn’t seen for a long time, Lin Wan.

Chen Feng wasn’t really against it. Initially, he just didn’t want Lin Wan living with Wu Mengting. He didn’t plan on severing their friendship — fewer interactions would be best.

Lin Wan was sometimes oblivious, making it very difficult to live with her long-term.

"Brother Feng, it’s been a while. You wouldn’t mind having me here, would you?"

Lin Wan had been here before; she walked right in and greeted Chen Feng.

Chen Feng sat upright, saying indifferently, "Now that you’re here, would I drive you away?"

"Then I’ll take that as you’re welcoming me." Lin Wan thick-skinned, smiled and placed a bag she was carrying on the coffee table. "I bought these lychees, March Red, hard to find in the market. You should try them."

Such thick skin — Chen Feng couldn’t be rude to her anymore, so he said nothing, stood up, reached over, grabbed a bunch of lychees, peeled them, and ate. They tasted pretty good.

Seeing this, Lin Wan laughed even more joyfully. Wu Mengting also slightly relaxed.

Lin Wan came over as a guest; initially Wu Mengting hesitated, but later agreed out of sheer politeness.

Afterwards, Lin Wan didn’t sit with Chen Feng to wait for the meal as before; she joined the two women in the kitchen to help make a full table of dishes.

With three beauties accompanying for the meal, even though Chen Feng didn’t quite like Lin Wan, he couldn’t deny it was lively.

Compared to Sun Xiaorui and Wu Mengting, Lin Wan was more talkative, quite chatty, speaking without hesitation. This might have been related to her role as a host.

As a host, if you don’t like to talk, how will you get viewers to reward you?

The meal was much livelier than when there were just three people before.

After eating, Lin Wan talked with the two women about a concert of a certain female star three days later. She had already bought the tickets, planned to attend the concert and stream it live, expecting some profit, and asked if they wanted to go.

Sun Xiaorui said she wasn’t interested and wouldn’t go. Wu Mengting was somewhat tempted because she liked this female star, not only for her beauty but also her singing. She was both a talented and charismatic idol, quite rare among the younger generation of female singers.

Wu Mengting turned to ask Chen Feng if he wanted to go. Someone of Chen Feng’s age naturally wouldn’t be very interested in concerts, let alone those of new-generation female singers.

After hesitating for a while, Wu Mengting decided to go. After all, it was quite a rare opportunity to attend this female singer’s concert; who knew when it would happen next?

Chen Feng naturally didn’t oppose.

Lin Wan didn’t stay for long, chatting with everyone for a little over half an hour after the meal before leaving promptly.

Once she left, Wu Mengting said to Chen Feng, "Waner has already moved out and lives alone. She really struggles to live long-term with anyone other than me — she’s very lazy."

Chen Feng asked, "You’re not going to plead for her to stay with us again, are you?"

Wu Mengting shook her head hastily, "Of course not. Actually, when I lived with her before, I sometimes got really frustrated. I may not be stupid, but she’s so lazy, treating me like a nanny to look after her. How could I not get upset? The main reason I stayed with her for so long is that, despite everything, she was generally nice to me."

"Then why did you suddenly decide not to live with her anymore?" Chen Feng asked with a smirk.

Wu Mengting responded irritatedly, "Isn’t it because you couldn’t stand her? You’re my brother; if you don’t like her, what can I do? I had to choose your side. Plus, Waner was indeed in the wrong. She cannot take our goodwill and care for granted, or it really becomes problematic."

Chen Feng nodded in agreement, "As long as you understand. You can’t be a fool for kindness anymore. If she wants to live with you again, you should know how to refuse."

Wu Mengting nodded with a wry smile.
