I Treat You as My Sister, But You Want to be My Wife?!

Chapter 231: Chapter 231 She should just tackle him_1

"Your restaurant really doesn’t know how to do business, I’m never coming here again."

Feng Lijuan grumbled in frustration, took out her cellphone, and walked to the side to make a call.

First, she tried calling Chen Yuting, but no one answered.

She called twice, but still no answer.

In her eyes, Chen Yuting must be all lovey-dovey with Shen Dong, probably setting her phone to silent mode, not wanting to be disturbed.

This would normally be a good thing, but for her current situation, it wasn’t.

With no other choice, she had to consider calling her ex-husband, Chen Yuanxiang.

But again, there was no answer.

Feng Lijuan felt helpless and was about to try Chen Yuyan’s number.

Yet upon finding the number, she paused and decided not to call.

She believed that Chen Yuyan definitely wouldn’t lend her money, since Chen Yuyan didn’t even recognize her as her mother.

If she learned that she had spent tens of thousands on a meal, she would surely be sarcastic.

But then, from whom could she borrow money?

Should she ask Dong Qikang?

Impossible. How could Dong Qikang possibly lend her the money? She shouldn’t even think about it.

As for other relatives and friends, there were none.

The only close friends she had were the few people she had dined with.

As for family, she didn’t really have any relatives left.

Her parent’s side of the family had passed away.

She hadn’t communicated with her parents’ relatives for a long time; even if she could get through to them, they certainly wouldn’t lend her money out of the blue.

Whom could she ask?

Feng Lijuan was pondering when suddenly her eyes lit up.

Aha!

She remembered that, while scrolling through Doule, she saw Yao, the food broadcaster from Dongyan Guild, who had visited this restaurant.

She could use that connection.

Thus, she put away her phone, returned to the cashier counter, and said to the restaurant manager, "I called my daughter and son-in-law, but they are busy and didn’t answer. You should know my son-in-law’s company; just put the bill on his company’s account."

The restaurant manager asked, "What’s the name of your son-in-law’s company?"

Their restaurant did have collaborations with companies.

It meant that when company employees came to dine, they just had to report the name, and they didn’t need to pay immediately. Each month, the restaurant would send a bill to the company, and the company settled the account once a month.

Of course, this required confirmation; it was not a case where anyone could just report a name and not pay.

That would create chaos.

"Dongyan Media," Feng Lijuan said.

"What!" The manager’s expression changed, "Your son-in-law is Mr. Shen, the boss of Dongyan Media?"

"Exactly," Feng Lijuan nodded proudly, fully enjoying the pride of being Shen Dong’s mother-in-law.

"Ma’am, please tell me your full name for confirmation," the manager requested.

"Feng Lijuan," she stated her name.

"Please wait," the manager stepped aside to make a call and soon returned, politely saying to Feng Lijuan, "Miss Feng, you just need to register here, and then you can leave."

"No problem," Feng Lijuan complied with the manager’s request, completed the registration, and left with her friends.

Walking out of the restaurant.

"Lijuan, it looks like you won’t have to pay for your meals at this restaurant anymore,"

"That’s right, I just need to mention my son-in-law’s name."

"It sure is different having a good son-in-law, I’m really envious."

"If my son-in-law had even one percent of your son-in-law’s abilities, I’d be satisfied."

"Alas, we’re not that lucky."

"Lijuan, next time you come here to eat, invite us too. The food here is really delicious, and I want to come a few more times."

"Exactly, since it doesn’t cost anything. Find a time and take us out for another meal."

Several people chattered away.

"No problem, I’ll find a time to bring you all here for another meal."

Feng Lijuan felt like she was floating on air.

Such flattery was genuinely exhilarating.

After that, everyone went their separate ways, and Feng Lijuan drove her own Audi Q7 home.

When she got home, it was already after nine o’clock.

Seeing Chen Yuting sitting on the sofa, she asked, "Yuting, why are you home so early? Shouldn’t you be out being romantic with Shen Dong at this time?"

In her opinion, Chen Yuting and Shen Dong were supposed to go out and book a room, not to come back home.

Chen Yuting didn’t speak.

Feng Lijuan walked up to Chen Yuting and noticed her eyes were red, obviously from crying, and she had cried a lot; the wastebasket beside was already filled with tissues.

She quickly asked, "Yuting, what’s wrong?"

"Mom, Shen Dong doesn’t love me anymore..." Chen Yuting said, tears starting to flow again.

"Yuting, don’t cry, what exactly happened? After meeting Shen Dong, what did he say? Tell me the details," Feng Lijuan hurriedly consoled her.

"I asked him to meet me in Huahai Park..." Chen Yuting detailed what had happened.

After listening, Feng Lijuan breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "Yuting, honestly, you’re being stubborn again. He’s obviously doing this to get back at you. He still loves you; he just needs to let out all his resentment, and then he’ll accept you back."

Chen Yuting said confusedly, "Didn’t you tell me before that as soon as I told him I would come back to him, I could go back to him right away?"

Feng Lijuan laughed, "That was before, this is now. Nobody could have anticipated Shen Dong wanting to take revenge first."

Chen Yuting shook her head, "I don’t believe you, I feel Shen Dong doesn’t love me anymore. I can tell, I’m truly not in his heart anymore."

Feng Lijuan sighed and continued to persuade, "Yuting, don’t overthink it. It must be as I said. Otherwise, why wouldn’t he have a wedding? Why wouldn’t he want children? You know, having a wedding would make everything official. He’s not having a wedding or children because he still has you in his heart, leaving a place for you, waiting for you to return."

Chen Yuting replied, "Mom, I asked Shen Dong about that. He said the time wasn’t right yet, that when the time comes, they would have a wedding and then have children."

"Not the right time yet?" Feng Lijuan laughed again, "You, getting fooled so easily by him. What does ’not the right time’ even mean? When would the right time be? He is already a billionaire; what kind of wedding couldn’t he have right now? He’s just making excuses."

Hearing Feng Lijuan say this, Chen Yuting began to waver a bit.

Feng Lijuan went on, "I’m telling you, you’re just using the wrong approach. You should have met him in a hotel and thrown yourself at him. He wouldn’t be able to control his emotions then."

"Mom, what are you talking about!" Chen Yuting’s face turned red instantly.

Although she and Shen Dong had already been intimate while dating, she still blushed upon hearing her mother talk like this.

"Don’t be shy. Listen to me, I’m not mistaken. If you do it, you’ll definitely be able to get back with him right away," Feng Lijuan didn’t care whether her daughter was embarrassed or not.

"Mom, I’m going to my room," Chen Yuting could no longer tolerate listening.

"You’ll see I’m right. Give it a try tomorrow," Feng Lijuan shouted at the retreating figure of Chen Yuting.

Bang!

Her response was the loud sound of a door slamming.
