After my divorce, I started to have good luck

Chapter 284: Chapter 174: Malicious Intent

Chen Feng heard what he said, feeling both surprised and a bit angry, and also found it somewhat laughable.

Undoubtedly, this guy had someone investigate him and even knew about his terminal illness.

This was clearly a serious invasion of his personal privacy, and Chen Feng had every reason to be angry.

However, this guy obviously got one thing wrong; he assumed that Chen Feng hid his illness from Wu Mengting.

Because according to his logic, if Wu Mengting knew Chen Feng was terminally ill and had little time left, she wouldn’t be so close to him, even making it seem like they were dating as a couple.

And the reason Chen Feng hid his illness was undoubtedly because he had ulterior motives towards Wu Mengting.

This is a line of logic that everyone seems to consider normal.

Unfortunately, Chen Feng is not normal now, and Wu Mengting is entirely different from those worldly women.

Hong Yongming thought he had something on Chen Feng, which was laughable to say the least.

"Are you planning to use this secret to blackmail me?" Chen Feng shook his head with amusement, as if watching a clown performance.

It’s just that the streetlights were dim, and there was a layer of car window glass between them, so Hong Yongming didn’t notice anything unusual about Chen Feng’s expression.

He had an air of confidence, smiled and said, "First of all, I’m sorry about your illness. Secondly, I would like you to put in a good word for me in front of Little Ting. You have a great relationship with her and are sworn siblings, so she must trust you a lot. And you also want her to find a good man and be happy all her life, and I am the one who can give her a lifetime of happiness."

Chen Feng shook his head disappointedly and said, "If this is all you’ve got, I’m going to belittle you instead. You think you can have me under your thumb just based on my illness, you’re really overthinking."

Hong Yongming frowned slightly, then said calmly, "You deliberately hid your illness from Little Ting and tried to get close to her, isn’t that enough? If she knew about your illness, she’d definitely think you’re deceiving her. By then, she won’t forgive you and will want to sever ties completely. I assume you wouldn’t wish for that, right?"

Chen Feng gave a disdainful laugh and said, "Do you have any other tricks? If not, step aside, I’m about to drive away."

With that, Chen Feng started the car.

Hong Yongming hastily said, "If you help me out, I’ll treat you as a brother. In the future, if you need anything from me, I’ll certainly do my best to help you. Moreover, if I and Little Ting get together, I can give you five million as a gift. I know you are well-off, but taking an extra five million for nothing isn’t bad, is it?"

Chen Feng nodded with some satisfaction and said, "Threats and temptations, using both means. Not bad. And the fact that you’re willing to spend five million for Mengting is commendable. Unfortunately, your intentions are a bit off, so I can’t help you. Move aside please!"

After saying this, Chen Feng immediately turned the steering wheel and drove the car, forcing Hong Yongming to quickly step aside.

Chen Feng left without stopping, driving away directly.

Hong Yongming tried to play tricks on him, but it only showed he was unreliable and certainly not someone you’d help.

As for the so-called leverage Hong Yongming had, it was nothing but a joke to Chen Feng.

People like that, with such unsound intentions, how could they be a good match for Wu Mengting? In the future, if there’s a proper opportunity, Chen Feng would certainly badmouth him in front of Wu Mengting.

For now, Chen Feng didn’t plan on talking to Wu Mengting about the evening’s events.

One reason was that there was no need, and another was because Chen Feng was waiting for Hong Yongming to snitch to Wu Mengting himself, at which point she would undoubtedly despise and detest him.

However, Hong Yongming wasn’t stupid, as he never intended to tell Wu Mengting himself from the start, knowing that snitches are naturally disliked.

Plus, he’s still pursuing Wu Mengting, and even if he claims it’s for her good, it wouldn’t win him many impression points if he told her himself.

So, this business could only be left to others, like his uncle and aunt, or Wu Mengting’s little aunt and uncle.

After Chen Feng left, Hong Yongming immediately called his uncle, Hong Guiquan, explaining the exchange with Chen Feng.

Finally, Hong Yongming said, "Uncle, could you and Aunt go to Little Ting’s house tomorrow to explain about Chen Feng, so she won’t be deceived?"

"Yeah. Little Ting is still young and doesn’t understand the treacherous nature of people. This Chen Feng, with his terminal illness, who knows how much longer he can live, yet he’s still pretending to be siblings with Little Ting, obviously with intentions."

Hong Yongming sighed, saying, "It’s a pity he wouldn’t play along with my plans, otherwise, Little Ting wouldn’t have to know about this at all."

"It’s better to let Little Ting know, otherwise, in her naivety, she might just be deceived by this man."

"Yes, that’s a possibility. Now that he’s terminally ill and doesn’t have long to live, who knows what he might do."

"Right, people like him are best avoided as much as possible. Going to meet him tonight was a bit risky; if he lashed out, what would we do? Since he hasn’t much time left, he’s got nothing to lose, but you do."

"I understand, I’ll be more careful next time."

"Alright then, tomorrow your aunt and I will visit Little Ting’s house."

"Thank you, Uncle and Aunt."

"No need for thanks between family. Just focus on winning Little Ting’s heart as soon as possible."

"I will."

...

After hanging up, Hong Yongming exhaled a long breath. The background information on Chen Feng was obtained through the money he spent and favors from his uncle Hong Guiquan, and it was very detailed.

Honestly, before seeing this background information, Hong Yongming hadn’t thought much of Chen Feng, Wu Mengting’s sworn brother, thinking he couldn’t be as wealthy as himself.

But after seeing his background, he realized Chen Feng was indeed quite wealthy, and with his stocks, his net worth would exceed a hundred million. Though he himself was a young elite, a business prodigy, he couldn’t match Chen Feng’s speed at making money through stock trading and his luck in hitting the lottery jackpot.

From this perspective, he had to admit internally that Chen Feng was indeed more formidable than him.

However, he felt that fate was fair. Despite Chen Feng’s excellence, his ability to make money, and his good luck, he was ultimately diagnosed with terminal brain cancer and wasn’t going to live much longer.

Therefore, Hong Yongming no longer felt jealous of Chen Feng; instead, he felt a bit of sympathy. He even thought at first that if Chen Feng would help him pursue Wu Mengting, he’d genuinely make friends with him.

In the end, Chen Feng let down his good intentions, and in his final days, he might even have to endure the pain of severing ties with Wu Mengting, his confidante.

Thinking of this, a cold smile pulled at the corners of Hong Yongming’s mouth. He flicked away the nearly finished cigarette, picked up his phone, opened WeChat, found Wu Mengting’s Moments, and clicked in to take a look.

This was something he did every day recently, checking Wu Mengting’s Moments to see if there were any updates. If there was an update, he could see it immediately.
