After my divorce, I started to have good luck-Chapter 1083 - 572: Reflecting on Pain (Part 2)

After sending the message, Chen Feng didn't just wait around; he started replying to messages from Wu Mengting and the others.

He explained that he had been drinking with friends, got drunk, stayed in a hotel, just sobered up, and still had a headache, so he wouldn't be returning home tonight.

Upon receiving the message, Wu Mengting immediately sent him a video call. This made Chen Feng feel a bit annoyed, like he was being checked on, but he understood it might be because she cared about him being drunk, so he answered the call.

"Why did you get drunk? Are you not aware of your own health condition?"

As soon as the call connected, Wu Mengting questioned angrily.

Chen Feng understood she was concerned, so he wasn't angry, and he replied with a smile: "I just couldn't refuse his enthusiasm. You know, Northeastern people drink fiercely. Anyway, he had it worse; he got more drunk than I did." 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

"Was it the one we met last time?" Wu Mengting inquired.

Chen Feng nodded along: "Yes, it was that Northeastern buddy from last time."

They were talking about Yuan Daan, whom Chen Feng had coincidentally bumped into last time while he was with Wu Mengting and Sun Xiaorui at East Lake. Wu Mengting remembered him.

"You really are something. Knowing how intense he drinks, you still foolishly compete with him. You don't take care of your own body; it makes me very angry."

Chen Feng was suffering from a terminal illness, even though there were signs of improvement, the disease hadn't completely gone away. Normally, he shouldn't be drinking.

Now hearing Chen Feng say he got drunk, Wu Mengting, who knew the situation, was genuinely upset and had good reason to be.

Chen Feng regretted choosing the wrong excuse but could only pull a face and say: "My fault, I definitely won't do it next time. Might as well quit drinking altogether."

Wu Mengting immediately said: "That's your word, right? What's good about drinking? Just quit taking this lesson seriously. I'll supervise you in the future."

Chen Feng already didn't drink much, so he nodded agreeably with a smile: "Fine, in the future, you and Li Rui can supervise me."

Wu Mengting reminded: "The engagement party of Qin Zhen is coming up soon. Isn't he asking you to be a groomsman?"

Chen Feng shook his head immediately: "He initially invited me to be a groomsman, but I refused. After all, I've been divorced, it's not auspicious."

Wu Mengting was somewhat pleased: "That's good then, you won't have to cover drinks for him, and you shouldn't drink. I'll supervise you then."

"You're going too?" Chen Feng was a bit surprised.

Wu Mengting naturally replied: "Of course, Pei Lei invited me to be a bridesmaid, and she invited Little Rui too."

Chen Feng almost forgot about this, so he asked: "Little Rui is going too?"

"Of course, going together. Plus, her master will also be a bridesmaid, making three of us altogether."

According to the customs over in Lu City, engagements also have bridesmaids, usually two or three. When it comes to weddings, there are even more bridesmaids, typically nine, symbolizing longevity, and adding the bride makes ten, symbolizing perfection.

Though, it ultimately depends on the financial strength of the two families.

But seeing Pei Lei getting the three women related to him to go as bridesmaids, Chen Feng felt a bit uneasy about attending Pei Lei and Qin Zhen's engagement banquet, especially since it would be held at their hometown.

Particularly with Pei Lei's master Li Liqin, if she caused trouble at his old hometown, it could be quite a headache for him.

Moreover, if Sun Xiaorui wanted to see his parents at his home then, it would pose some trouble, yet he couldn't object or it would hurt her feelings.

"So it seems Qin Zhen will have to find three groomsmen to cover drinks for him. No need for me to step in."

Chen Feng said in a deliberately relaxed tone.

"Yeah, he has many friends, won't struggle to find a few to handle the drinking. When the time comes, remember not to drink, keep your word."

"Yeah, yeah, I'll definitely keep my word. Alright, enough talking; my head's still a bit dizzy; gotta continue sleeping."

"Do you want me to come pick you up?"

"No need to trouble you. I'll head back tomorrow."

"Alright then. Have a good rest."

Through the video, Wu Mengting could clearly see that Chen Feng was indeed in a hotel room, and alone.

So she didn't have much more to say to him.

After ending the video call, Chen Feng finally had time to look at the message from Zhang Jingwen.

[Sorry, but I've already informed my family. They have a good impression of you. How about helping me out, just pretend to be my boyfriend?]

[I can't help with that. Just tell your family the truth, say we're not a good match, or simply say you caught me with another woman, so you won't date me.]

Zhang Jingwen, seeing Chen Feng's suggestion, angrily thumped the sofa several times.

She had been quite confident, thinking even if Chen Feng didn't fall for her charm, he would still have a good opinion, especially since just yesterday the two had been so affectionate, as sweet as could be. Just for this reason alone, Chen Feng ought to give her face and pretend to be her boyfriend to visit her family for a meal, but Chen Feng was so ruthless.

This made her feel unable to accept.

She dearly wanted to send a voice message scolding him, but in the end didn't dare, and could only angrily send him a crying emoji.

Chen Feng directly ignored it, put down his phone and got out of bed, ran some water, and then went to take a shower.

After coming out of the bathroom, his stomach was growling with hunger.

He put on his clothes again, planning to go downstairs to the restaurant to eat.

The restaurant of the hotel is on the 11th floor, featuring a Western restaurant, a Chinese restaurant, a café, and a buffet.

Chen Feng decisively chose the buffet restaurant, since he was starving, and was too lazy to wait, he could eat to his heart's content immediately, which was quite cost-effective.

His common man nature was difficult to change.

Chen Feng ate heartily, definitely getting his money's worth with over two hundred RMB dining recouped full.

While enjoying his meal, suddenly, a pleasant scent wafted over, and he saw two women standing in front of his table. One taller, looking around twenty-five or twenty-six, and the shorter with a college student demeanor.

According to societal standards, both were very pretty, with typical influencer faces, fair skin, slim waist, and long legs.

"Excuse us, may we sit here?"

The taller woman asked sweetly in a soft voice, slightly bending her head and body, with the tight wrap of her white long-sleeved T-shirt across her chest looking full and prominent.

Seeing this, Chen Feng couldn't help but quickly shift his gaze, scanned around, and rapidly pointed at an empty table about ten meters away, saying: "That table is empty, you can sit over there."

The two women clearly didn't expect such a response from Chen Feng, and were momentarily speechless.

Still, the taller woman spoke again: "That table hasn't been cleared yet."

Chen Feng replied expressionlessly: "Then ask the staff to clear it. I'm used to eating alone and don't want to share a table with strangers."

The two women: "..."
