Chapter 217: Chapter 142: Honest People Suffer Disadvantages_3

Chen Feng gave a sheepish smile and said, "How should I put it, I’m just a bit closer to her now. Yu Jiao was being pressured by her family, so I had to pretend to be her boyfriend. You don’t need to worry about it. Next time her aunt asks, just refer her to me and say it’s none of my business."

"How could that be okay? Her uncle is your dad’s cousin, you should call him your uncle. They’re relatives, so how can you not give them an explanation? Be honest with me, have you slept with this Yu Jiao?"

Under his mother’s stern gaze, Chen Feng’s face turned red as he stammered, "Mom, just leave this alone. Right now, Yu Jiao and I are just putting on a show for her family. Please keep it a secret for us for the time being. Yu Jiao and I will handle this... Ouch! Mom, why are you pinching me?"

"Pinching you is letting you off easy, you little rascal. Ever since your divorce, you’ve become more of a scoundrel. One girlfriend here, another ’sister’ there, and that’s not enough—you’re also fooling around with a divorced woman. Tell me, with your womanizing ways, are you still my son?"

Zhao Xiaolan said, twisting his arm a few more times.

Chen Feng hastily pleaded, "Mom, calm down, please calm down. Of course, I’m your son. I haven’t done anything outrageously wrong, just had a bit better luck with women recently, can you blame me? I didn’t even want it."

"You shameless thing, why can’t you be more like your dad and your brother? They are so honest."

Chen Feng mumbled, "Honest people suffer losses."

"Am I talking about that?" Zhao Xiaolan glared at him, lowered her voice, and warned, "I don’t care about the others, but Little Ting is a girl I really like, and I won’t allow you to hurt her. If you really don’t like her, don’t mess with her. If you do like her, stop being so fickle and hooking up left and right. Otherwise, I won’t let you off."

"Yes, yes, yes, I definitely won’t hurt her. I’ve always treated her like a real sister."

"Is that human talk? She came chasing after you all the way to your house for you. Just remember, if you do her wrong, I absolutely won’t let you off."

"Yes, yes, yes, I remember," Chen Feng almost instinctively complied.

The mighty power of Mother’s warning was undeniable, leaving Chen Feng’s legs a bit wobbly.

As a child, he often got spanked by his mother, leaving him with a psychological shadow that lingered to this day—whenever his mother got angry, his whole body would start to shake.

Of course, he wasn’t the only one with this issue. His older brother, Chen Rui, had the same symptoms, and even more severe.

Back in the store, Chen Feng wore a gloomy expression. Wu Mengting immediately noticed it and felt puzzled, but she refrained from asking in front of Zhao Xiaolan.

After everyone had dinner together, Wu Mengting chatted with Zhao Xiaolan in the kitchen for a while before she returned to the back room and took out her phone to text Chen Feng.

"What did your mom pull you aside to talk about earlier? You’ve been down ever since."

At that moment, Chen Feng was chatting on WeChat with Sun Xiaorui, who was out shopping with a friend and had sent him several street photos.

Chen Feng glanced at Wu Mengting’s message and replied, "Was it that obvious?"

"Very. You only had one bowl of rice."

That was indeed true. After the lecture from his mom earlier, his mood definitely wasn’t great, and since he had eaten quite a bit of country food at lunch, he only had one bowl of rice for dinner, whereas he usually had at least two.

If he were to be honest, he was indeed a bit of a womanizer. But wasn’t he terminally ill and rich to boot? He figured enjoying life and playing around with a few women cooperatively wasn’t against ethics or morals, and shouldn’t be wrong, should it?

But such things, though done, can hardly be spoken about. Anyone who heard of his deeds would think of him as a scumbag, and his actions certainly were not something to be encouraged or mimicked.

Now, it seemed his mother had indeed been brainwashed by Wu Mengting, though she hadn’t explicitly told him to marry her, the intention was clear enough. And yet, he was unable to fulfill his mother’s wish.

Thinking of his illness and not knowing how long he would live even after the new year, it was no wonder his mood was not great.

Naturally, he couldn’t share these thoughts with Wu Mengting.

He typed back: "My mom found out about me and Yu Jiao, gave me a long lecture, calling me a womanizer."

Wu Mengting immediately sent back a laughing GIF, delighted at his misfortune, with a message: "Serves you right!"

Chen Feng felt gloomy and sent a gloomy emoticon.

Wu Mengting laughed heartily upon seeing the emoticon and typed: "Mom didn’t wrong you. You’ve just returned and already hooked up with Yu Jiao. Sun is still waiting for you. Calling you a womanizer is spot-on."

"She didn’t wrong me. But she also warned me, saying you’re a good girl and told me not to harm you."

"Really?"

"Guess."

Wu Mengting sent an explosive GIF and typed: "Clearly, your mom misunderstood you, so you’re upset, right?"

"Something like that. But mainly, I just realized I really am a scumbag, messing around with women everywhere and still letting down your true feelings."

"Don’t say that. You’re a scumbag, but you have your principles—you haven’t lied to Sun or Yu Jiao, nor to me."

"...Thanks for the compliment."

"That’s not a compliment, just stating the facts. Plus, I don’t like how you are now, you know what I mean."

"I don’t."

Wu Mengting immediately sent an angry emoticon.
