Chapter 159 I Still Have Some Money
In Donglaishunli, the same group of people gathered together yesterday, except that Ma Jing was missing.
I heard that Yang Bo broke up with her last night because he thought she was not pretty enough.
Li Ting followed and sat side by side with Allen Chu. The two seemed to get along quite well.
Sitting next to Yang Bo was another girl. Upon asking, I found out that she was his sister Yang Mei.
Yang Mei was quite enthusiastic and insisted on pulling Ning Yao over to sit with her. While they were eating hot pot, she kept staring at the two of them, her eyes full of curiosity and interest.
Chen Feng couldn't help but ask, "Why are you always looking at me?"
Yang Bo laughed heartily. "My sister is interested in you! Yesterday's incident has spread all over the city. That guy Ni Bin has lost face. Let's see if he has the nerve to show up in front of us again."
Allen Chu took over the conversation and said with a smile: "If I were him, I would just find a rope and hang myself!"
Ning Yao felt a little uncomfortable when he heard this.
Ni Bin was indeed a bit too harsh on her yesterday, but their family had helped her parents when they were in trouble before, and she didn't want to embarrass him because of her own reasons.
However, she knew in her heart that if she encountered such a situation again, she would do it without hesitation. After all, she lived for herself, not as a thank-you gift to repay a favor or a debt.
Chen Feng asked curiously, "Why are you guys so at odds with each other?"
Hou Shuo sighed and explained, "It's mainly due to the accumulated conflicts among the elders in the family. For those of us who grew up in the compound, the elders in our families all participated in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, shed blood and made contributions. Look at Mingming, his grandmother was on the battlefield, digging out bullets for the wounded under bombardment. It was incredible!"
Chen Feng nodded, expressing his admiration: "That is indeed worthy of respect!"
Hou Shuo changed the subject, his tone filled with disdain: "But what about the elders in their family? They all rose to power in recent years by fighting their own people. What a bunch of crap!"
Chen Feng suddenly realized that it was no wonder that the conflict between the two sides was so big, it turned out that the root was here.
It seems that there is no reconciliation!
The atmosphere at the dinner table gradually became lively, and the topic naturally turned back to Chen Feng and Ning Yao.
Yang Bo raised his glass and said to Chen Feng with a smile, "Brother Feng, yesterday's scene was truly remarkable. Cao Mingming, with a random guy from the hospital, actually managed to steal Ni Bin's girlfriend. We're all incredibly curious about you two. Tell me, what's your background?"
Chen Feng waved his hand and said with a smile, "I don't have any special background. I'm just a farmer. I'm with Ning Yao because I'm a poor boy who fell in love with the real princess of the castle."
Yang Bo looked skeptical. "Is this true? A farmer's son found the governor's daughter? Are you filming a sequel to 'Ordinary World'? How could this happen in real life?"
Allen Chu also interjected, "Brother Feng, this is really dishonest of you. We've all revealed our true colors to you, so why are you still hiding it?"
Chen Feng smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll tell you something. To say I'm a poor kid isn't quite accurate. I do have some money."
Hearing this, everyone was stunned.
Hou Shuo laughed out loud: "Brother, that's quite humorous."
In their circle, comparing family backgrounds is common. Topics like "Which army was your father in? What battles did he fight in?" and "Which unit was my father in? Which commander did he serve under?" are often discussed.
But we couldn't always compare these things, so we started to compare other things, like who found the prettier girl today, etc. But we didn't really compare money, after all, no one was well off.
Take today's meal at Donglaishun for example, Hou Shuo spent a month's salary on it.
Yang Bo said, "Brother Feng, how rich are you? Can you book the entire Donglaishun restaurant today?"
Yang Mei glared at Yang Bo from the side and said, "Little brother, watch your mouth. Can't you even stop eating mutton?"
Chen Feng laughed heartily. "This little bit of money is nothing to me. Let me put it this way, if Donglaishun is willing to sell it, I can buy it on the spot!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere at the dinner table suddenly froze. Everyone put down their chopsticks and looked at Chen Feng in unison.
Hou Shuo looked skeptical and raised his eyebrows and asked, "You're not bragging, are you?"
Chen Feng took a bite of food and said with a smile as he ate, "As long as you can settle it, I will definitely buy it. You are all shareholders, and we will share the profits together."
Hou Shuo said doubtfully, "What you said sounds like the truth. I don't believe it."
Chen Feng said slowly, "I wonder if you've ever heard of Phnom Penh wine? It's produced by my factory."
When Allen Chu heard this, he was so shocked that he almost jumped out of his chair: “Is it true?”
The way people looked at him changed a little.
Golden-edged wine has become a rare commodity in Beijing recently. Although it is not available on the market, it has become extremely popular in their small circle.
The reason was simple: the respected old man casually said a while ago that he wanted to try some Phnom Penh wine.
This news reached the ears of their elders at home, and then this Gold-rimmed wine became a hot topic in their circle, just like Panda cigarettes, which you want but can't get.
Hou Shuo swallowed his saliva and asked, "Brother, does this mean you are from Guangshan?"
Chen Feng nodded. "Yes, my winery is located in a village under Guangshan City. That's where Yaoyao and I met. Who can compare to our relationship? From now on, she will be my wife, and no one can stop her!"
Let me say this first today, and it would be better if I spread it through their circle. Governor Ning, if you dare to obstruct me, even if you are the governor, I will fight you!
Ning Yao, who was standing by, felt as sweet as honey when she heard this. For a woman, there is nothing more romantic and reassuring than having her beloved man declare his sovereignty over her in public.
She felt as if her heart was filled with ten kilograms of honey, heavy and sweet, and her face unconsciously flushed.
Seeing this, Yang Mei clapped her hands, then hugged Ning Yao, and the two of them whispered to each other.
Li Ting was listening beside him, feeling envious. She glanced at Allen Chu secretly and couldn't help but sigh.
Cao Mingming, who had been concentrating on eating the whole night, suddenly said, "Golden Edge Wine. My dad drinks it every day. My mom always praises it after he drinks it."
Yang Mei asked curiously, "Your dad drinks, so why is your mom praising him?"
Cao Mingming said nonchalantly, "It's just that my dad is more energetic at night. My mom also said that if he had drunk this wine a few years earlier, maybe he could have given me another brother!"
When Yangmei heard this, her face turned red.
The eyes of Hou Shuo and the other men immediately lit up.
Allen Chu asked, “Mingming, how come your family has Gold Ridge wine?”
Cao Mingming replied, "My grandmother brought it back." Then, she pointed at Chen Feng and said, "I asked for it from his grandfather."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone believed it. The wine really belonged to Chen Feng.
