Chapter 252: Chapter 158: Divorced Men Become Desirable_2

Zhao Xiaolan, of course, could accept the wholesale price and was very happy.

"That means I’m getting the better end of the deal, huh."

"What better end of the deal? Auntie, don’t be a stranger. Come on over and try this sweater on."

Without refusing any longer, Zhao Xiaolan wiped her hands on her apron, smilingly took the knitwear, and held it up against herself; it seemed to fit just right.

"Then I’ll go try it on."

Women naturally love new clothes, and Zhao Xiaolan was no exception; she said this and went to the bathroom to try it on.

Chen Feng couldn’t help but silently praise Lin Yujiao as he watched this scene unfold; just two pieces of knitwear easily bridged the gap between her, his mother, and his sister-in-law.

Wu Mengting, however, watched Lin Yujiao’s behavior with hidden annoyance and even some worry.

Lin Yujiao’s shop was not far from Chen Feng’s home on the same street; if she intended to befriend Chen Feng’s mother and sister-in-law, she had all the time and the geographic advantage to do so.

Then her own successful approach of winning over the family could be shamelessly plagiarized and replicated by Lin Yujiao, even surpassing the original.

Being close to the waterside paved the way to get the moon first; she couldn’t stay in Qingpu Town after the New Year, while Lin Yujiao was a local who had set up shop right here.

Having seen how Lin Yujiao ingratiated herself with people, she was clearly adept.

This was truly dangerous!

Feeling a sudden sense of alarm, Wu Mengting began to take Lin Yujiao seriously while also inwardly lamenting her hard fate; she had finally fallen for a man, and yet fate seemed to be constantly tormenting her, creating one obstacle after another.

The only slightly comforting and reassuring aspect was that Chen Feng’s terminal illness was a secret only she knew; she could be certain that Chen Feng would never officially date another woman, let alone talk of marriage.

So, no matter how much Lin Yujiao or Sun Xiaorui tried to court favor with Chen Feng or their families, it was most likely futile in the end.

The only thing to be wary of was Chen Feng’s family pressuring him to marry, just like his mother had already hinted at in the car earlier that day.

So, if possible in the future, it would be necessary to be cautious of the local serpent, Lin Yujiao.

For now, she didn’t have a good way to stop Lin Yujiao from harboring inappropriate thoughts.

Of course, if it really came down to it, she could reveal to Lin Yujiao that Chen Feng was terminally ill to make her give up.

After realizing this, Wu Mengting slowly calmed down.

Besides, she believed her overall strengths and conditions were definitely better than Lin Yujiao’s; if Zhao Xiaolan had to choose a daughter-in-law from the two of them, she would definitely choose her over Lin Yujiao.

She still had that confidence.

Li Guihong and Zhao Xiaolan, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, came out one after another wearing the gifted sweaters for everyone to see; true to form, as a clothing seller, Lin Yujiao had picked two very fitting and attractive pieces for them.

Everyone said they looked good, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were both very satisfied, happily accepting the gifts.

Li Guihong already had a good impression of Lin Yujiao, and now she became even more friendly in conversation with her.

Then, gradually, Zhao Xiaolan also joined in their conversation, and eventually, Wu Mengting did too.

The four women chatted and laughed together, presenting a cheerful scene.

Lin Yujiao, having run a clothing store for so many years, certainly had the ability to communicate with people; she easily got friendly with Zhao Xiaolan and Li Guihong through those two pieces of knitwear.

Chen Feng also felt relieved; otherwise, he had been genuinely worried that his mom would snub Lin Yujiao or that Wu Mengting and she might start a war of words.

With the four women, plus two little girls joining in the commotion, the chatter and laughter were such that the three men brushing through short videos on Chen Feng’s side found it noisy and unanimously decided to head out front and mind the shop together.

Upon reaching the front, they ran into a "big deal"—a neighbor wanted two cases of beer and a large bag of rice—so the brothers helped carry it over.

On the way back, Chen Rui teased with a grin, "Ah Feng, you’re really something with the ladies. Not to mention a girlfriend over in Hui State, now you’ve got two more at home. How come I never noticed how amazing you were before?"

Chen Feng teased back, smiling, "Don’t be envious. If you wanted more charm with the ladies, it would be quite easy. I could introduce you to a few."

"Really? How many women do you know? Let’s forget the ones who sell themselves."

"Bro, seriously? You’ve thought about having affairs and keeping a mistress?" Chen Feng gave him a peculiar look.

"I didn’t, okay? Don’t talk nonsense! Don’t wrongly accuse me!" Chen Rui immediately retorted.

Chen Feng warned, "I was just joking before. Don’t take it seriously, don’t even think about it. Although Sister-in-Law has her flaws, she’s truly devoted and hardworking when it comes to family. Don’t do anything to betray her, and your two precious daughters."

"Get lost!" Chen Rui punched him in the shoulder without any politeness, "I really haven’t thought about it. Even if I did, I wouldn’t have the guts, let alone the energy and time. You know how busy the store gets. It’s only during the New Year that I can take a break. Once we reopen after the holiday, I’ll be busy from dawn till dusk every day."

"So, you really can’t afford to be idle," Chen Feng laughed. "Once you’re idle, you’ll definitely get into trouble. I’ll have to remind Sister-in-Law when I get back."

"Man, can’t you be a little less harsh? All I did was tease you a bit. There’s no need to slander me like that."

"Alright. Brothers for life, both of us men, I can understand. If you ever really think about having an affair, come to me—I can give you some proper advice and methods."

"What kind of proper advice and methods?" Chen Rui asked, slightly puzzled.

Chen Feng rolled his eyes, "Are you already thinking about having an affair now?"

"No? What are you talking about? I’m just curious."

Chen Feng explained with a smile, "To put it simply, it’s about safety. First, bodily and health safety is paramount. You have to be with someone clean; otherwise, if you catch some strange disease, especially AIDS, it’s too late for regrets or even suicide. This is crucial.

You have to know that many women out there are like ’public buses’, carriers of various viruses. If you mess around aimlessly, it’s quite easy to get infected. You often hear such incidents in the news, and even you have heard some stories, right? One wrong move could be a matter of life and death."

Chen Rui nodded quickly, "That’s true. In my younger days, some friends went to a ’hair salon’, and they all accidentally caught some disease. They had to go to the hospital for treatment involving huge syringes directly into their... you know, it was brutal!"

While talking, Chen Rui was also gesturing, and Chen Feng, as a man, couldn’t help but shiver at the thought, saying unconsciously, "That can’t be true, right? They treat it like that?"

"My friends all said so; it must be true. Since then those friends have been really tame, never visiting those ’hair salons’ again."

Chen Feng actually believed him.

"Fine. Since you know the consequences, I won’t say more."

"Don’t stop, keep going. I want to learn a bit more."

"Next would obviously be not to expose yourself, to do proper secrecy and counter-surveillance work. I don’t have much experience or advice in that regard; I was always a homebody and a good husband before my divorce. I don’t need it now. Also, you must absolutely avoid getting entangled with women who pester you to death, even those who wish to be the mistress and usurp your wife’s position. That’s a major taboo. It could lead to the disintegration of your family and loss of everything."

"Damn! The way you put it, the risks are just too high."

Chen Feng nodded earnestly, "Of course. For married folks, infidelity could at best lead to a broken family, and at worst, complete ruin. If you’re careless and catch some nasty disease, that’s your life over."

Chen Rui shivered at those words and glared at him irritably, "You’re just trying to scare me. Let me tell you, I’m not that kind of person. How could I possibly think about cheating or having an affair? I’ve never even thought about it."

Chen Feng chuckled.

Annoyed, Chen Rui stopped talking to him and walked briskly back home.
