Chapter 89: Chapter 79: Freeloading a Meal

This braised flavor fried rice restaurant had pretty good reviews online.

After Chen Feng entered, he ordered a dish of "Eight Immortals" fried rice and a bowl of tremella soup, which totaled twenty-three yuan, not too expensive. However, when the fried rice was served, it seemed like the portion was a bit small.

The rice was served on a plate, and the large-looking plate made the portion seem substantial.

But in reality, if it had been served in a bowl, it would have amounted to just a small bowl.

Such a small bowl for seventeen yuan did feel somewhat costly.

Especially when the fried rice was served on a plate, Chen Feng got the feeling his intelligence was being insulted.

It could only be said that this was a trick the business used on customers. Just like supermarkets liked to price goods at x.99 yuan, it made customers feel that the cost wasn’t too high.

This is what’s called consumer psychology.

The taste of the "Eight Immortals" fried rice was still quite acceptable, but with a spoon Chen Feng finished the entire dish in less than two minutes. It wasn’t that he ate quickly, rather the portion was just too small. He always had the sense that it was a bit of a rip-off.

He wasn’t short on cash, but he didn’t like to be taken advantage of either.

So, three minutes after finishing his meal, although Chen Feng only felt a third full, he had no desire to eat there anymore.

Of course, Chen Feng’s feeling of being cheated might be related to his leftover loser mentality from the past.

It might also be because this was an ordinary Chinese restaurant, whereas if it had been a Western restaurant, a piece of steak could go for over a hundred yuan and he might not have found it expensive.

In fact, it also had to do with Chen Feng’s current preference for home-cooked dishes, as the food prepared by Sun Xiaorui or Wu Mengting was not only delicious, but eating it also brought a sense of satisfaction and happiness that was lacking outside.

This was something that outside restaurants simply didn’t have.

Having tasted their cooking, he had lost interest in eating out.

Just as he was thinking this, he received a WeChat message from Wu Mengting.

She asked if he was free today and if he wanted to visit the art gallery.

Chen Feng certainly had time, and since he hadn’t eaten his fill, he immediately replied through WeChat asking if she had had lunch yet.

It was actually only a little past eleven in the morning, and if she hadn’t eaten yet, Chen Feng was thinking of dropping by to snag a meal.

Wu Mengting quickly replied that she hadn’t eaten yet.

Chen Feng was overjoyed and quickly sent a voice message, "Great, I haven’t eaten either. I’ll buy some groceries on my way to your place, and you can cook, how about that?"

Wu Mengting also quickly responded with a voice message, "Yeah, sure. I was just thinking of going to buy some groceries."

"OK, I’ll be right over. What should I buy?"

"Just pick out whatever you like."

"OK!"

Chen Feng swiftly returned to his villa, not taking the original route, but avoiding the place where the car accident had happened before. It wasn’t too far.

Meanwhile, at Wu Mengting’s place, Lin Wan sitting beside the dining table looked at her speechlessly and said, "Sister, we just finished eating, didn’t we? What do you mean you haven’t eaten? I’ve just had two bowls, and I don’t want to eat again later."

Wu Mengting laughed sheepishly, pleading, "Help me out, okay? Just pretend a little later and eat a bit."

Lin Wan couldn’t stand her cajoling and rolled her eyes before replying helplessly, "Fine, fine, I’ll eat a little. But why do you always have to drag me along as the third wheel when you’re chasing him? I can leave for a while, to give you two a chance to be together alone."

Wu Mengting blushed, and said with a little peevishness, "What are you talking about? I do fancy him, but that doesn’t mean I must get intimate with him. Until he has explicitly established a romantic relationship with me, I won’t just casually give myself away."

"Psh, you talk like you’re some paragon of virtue. Who cares about that membrane these days? Listen to me, if you want to snag him quickly, you need to establish a substantial relationship with him first. If you really are a virgin, it’s perfect—afterward, you can make him take responsibility, right?"

"Go away! I’m not that kind of person," Wu Mengting said with a flush of embarrassment, displeased.

"If you don’t listen to me, I don’t think you’ll ever be able to get him," Lin Wan analyzed confidently. "First, we can be sure of one thing: he’s a wealthy man. Exactly how rich, I don’t know. But I think if he can afford to spend tens of thousands of yuan a month on a mistress, he’s got to have at least a few million. And rich men are scarce resources, especially ones his age.

So if you come across one, you either take decisive action or you don’t dawdle around playing ambiguous games, wasting your own time.

Second, he’s not lacking women right now. Even though Sun Xiaorui is temporarily not by his side, he could find a new mistress to keep at any moment. That’s what he said last time, and I think he’s seriously considering it.

"So if you hesitate any longer, and he takes on a new mistress, it’ll be even harder for you to win him over."

Lin Wan’s advice clearly struck a chord with Wu Mengting, who, after thinking it over earnestly, still shook her head and said, "I don’t want to go against my own principles and feelings. I don’t care what other people think, but I’m definitely not going to be that kind of casual woman."

"I give up on you," Lin Wan said, bringing a hand to her forehead. "Since you like him, why not give him that ’membrane’ of yours, what’s the big deal? Let me tell you, this thing, when given to the right person, can have a lot of power. Otherwise, it’s really neither here nor there. And I think Brother Feng is reliable enough. At the very least, he wouldn’t let down his own woman. I contacted Sister Sun in the morning, and she said that when her dad had surgery, Brother Feng loaned her 500,000 yuan."

"Ah, really? This happened?" Wu Mengting was curious. "Why did she tell you about it?"

"I asked her about it myself. Didn’t I advance her the money from our live stream? I was worried she’d run short due to her father’s illness. So, she told me Brother Feng lent her the money."

"It’s a loan, not a gift?" Wu Mengting asked.

"What’s the difference? Anyway, being able to lend her so much money all at once shows that Brother Feng isn’t short of cash, and also that he’s compassionate. So if you really do snag him, he’ll surely treat you well in the future. If it weren’t for you making your move first, I’d be tempted to try my luck with him myself."

Wu Mengting suddenly fell silent.

"Take some time to think about it."

Lin Wan patted her shoulder and stood up to return to her room.

...

Chen Feng quickly made it home, hopped into his car, and headed for the market to quickly buy some groceries, then drove to where Wu Mengting was renting.

It was only about a hundred meters away, quite close.

When Chen Feng arrived at their rental, less than half an hour had passed.

"You’re really quick. Looks like you really do live close to us,"

Wu Mengting teased with a smile as she opened the door.

After a slight hesitation, Chen Feng said, "It is quite close, just about a hundred meters. A few minutes’ walk."

"Really? No way?"

Wu Mengting was somewhat surprised. Although she had previously felt they lived relatively close, she hadn’t imagined it was this close.

"Don’t tell me you live in the villa area to the south?"

Lin Wan also heard and came out to ask.

Chen Feng smiled and nodded to her, admitting, "You guessed right."

"Wow, that villa area is all built in ancient style architecture, looks so cozy. Every time I pass by, I want to go in and see. No way, after dinner, you have to take us to your place."

"Alright."

Chen Feng quickly agreed. The main reason he disclosed where he lived was to snag a free meal.

Besides, of course, he also wanted to have a normal friendship with them. The kind you have with good friends.
