After my divorce, I started to have good luck

Chapter 1369 - 711: The Disintegration of the Alliance

With the matter of getting engaged to Wu Mengting at the end of the year temporarily resolved, Chen Feng’s body and mind finally relaxed completely.This morning he actually slept in for once. Normally he got up at six or seven, but this time it was almost nine by the time he got out of bed.

After washing up, he didn’t go out for a run. Instead, he did a few dozen push-ups and some stretching at home and counted that as his workout.

Since he hadn’t really worked up a sweat, he didn’t take a shower. After a short rest, he went to the kitchen to look for food.

He saw glutinous rice in the Lu City style in the kitchen, along with seaweed and egg drop soup. It must have been made by Wu Mengting.

This part was great. It seemed that although Wu Mengting still had resentment toward him in her heart, she still cared about him. She’d specially made him breakfast and even kept it warm for him.

After breakfast, Chen Feng lay comfortably on the living room sofa, planning to start his usual routine of scrolling short videos and reading NovelFires.

But just as he’d finished reading the latest Chapter of one of the novels he was following, Jin Xinyan sent him a message on WeChat.

[Boss, do you have time to come out for a bit?]

Chen Feng asked: [What’s up?]

Jin Xinyan: [Sister Jiao wants to move out of your villa. I can’t talk her out of it]

Chen Feng couldn’t help but freeze for a moment, then immediately guessed the reason. Lin Yujiao must have found out that Wu Mengting had become his girlfriend, or maybe Wu Mengting had directly told Lin Yujiao herself, even hinting that Lin Yujiao should move out of the Lakefront Villa.

Thinking of this, Chen Feng was a little helpless. Wu Mengting was good in every way, except she was too jealous and "couldn’t tolerate other women."

Even though he was guessing that in his heart, Chen Feng still asked: [What happened exactly]

[Main thing should be that she found out Wu Mengting became your official girlfriend. That’s true, right?]

[It’s true, but that doesn’t affect my relationship with you all. I’m acknowledging her as my girlfriend mainly in name only]

[I heard you were going to get engaged to Wu Mengting at the end of the year]

[Mengting does have that plan, but I turned her down]

[She’d accept that?]

[Even if she doesn’t, there’s nothing she can do. Anyway, for the next two or three years, I’m not getting engaged or married to anyone]

[Really?]

[Really]

[That’s great, I’ll go tell Yu Jiao right away. But I think it’s best if you personally come over to the Lakefront Villa. Neither of us has seen you for quite a while]

[Okay, I’ll come over a bit later, I’ll just have lunch with you two]

Chen Feng had originally planned to visit them in the next couple of days anyway, so moving it up a bit didn’t matter.

[Okay, I’ll notify Sister Jiao right away and we’ll wait for you to come]

After ending his chat with Jin Xinyan, Chen Feng didn’t head over immediately. Instead, he finished reading the latest Chapters of several ongoing novels, spending about an hour, then put his phone away, went upstairs to change clothes, and drove to the Lakefront Villa.

...

In fact, early that morning, Jin Xinyan had already learned the good news that Wu Mengting’s "forcing the engagement" had failed.

It was Sun Xiaorui who’d posted it in their "Mistress Alliance" group early in the morning, because Sun Xiaorui had heard it from Chen Feng last night.

Upon receiving this great news, the women in the group were, of course, all excited.

The thing they had least been able to accept and felt most threatened by was that Chen Feng was going to get engaged to Wu Mengting at the end of the year. Now, hearing that Chen Feng had actually refused to get engaged to Wu Mengting, they were naturally very happy. At least this way, they all still had hope.

Especially Guo Mengyao and Liu Ying; the two of them were the ones who still had strong fantasies about Chen Feng. One felt she was very rich and had been Chen Feng’s high-school classmate. Even with a daughter in tow, she thought she was more than good enough for Chen Feng.

The other felt that her child with Chen Feng was about to be born, and they had also been university classmates. Back in freshman year, Chen Feng had even chased after her; there was an emotional foundation there. In the future, once the child was born, as long as she used the child to tie Chen Feng down and added in her own efforts, there was no reason she couldn’t get the marriage certificate with him.

The other women also had designs on Chen Feng, but clearly none of them were as confident as those two.

Spurred on by this piece of good news, the whole "Mistress Alliance" became even more confident about driving away Wu Mengting.

Guo Mengyao hoped that over on Sun Xiaorui’s side they could keep up the pressure, keep using that Tang Jierui to get ambiguous with Wu Mengting and stir up scandals, striving to make Chen Feng and her fall out and break up as soon as possible. Whatever funding was needed, she and Hong Xiaodan would wire it to her immediately.

But after getting this good news, Sun Xiaorui clearly started having thoughts that were different from theirs.

Previously, it was because Wu Mengting had wanted to kick her out and had even put on the airs of Chen Feng’s fiancée that she’d felt seriously threatened and humiliated, and had had no choice but to join forces with Guo Mengyao and the others to go after Wu Mengting.

But now, with Wu Mengting unable to get engaged to Chen Feng for at least two or three years, and only being Chen Feng’s girlfriend in name, the threat she posed had dropped a lot.

Especially since this morning at breakfast when they’d gotten up to eat together and Chen Feng just happened to not be around, Wu Mengting had opened up to her and had a heart-to-heart talk.

Besides apologizing to her, she had also very sincerely said a lot to her, mainly two points.

One was that she hoped the two of them could put aside their previous little conflicts, continue being good sisters in the future, live together in harmony in this house with Chen Feng, live a good life with him, and help him manage the company well.

The other was that the two of them should join forces again and jointly resist and push back against those other women around Chen Feng.

To show her sincerity about "joining forces against the enemy," Wu Mengting swore that even if she married Chen Feng in the future, she would still tacitly allow Sun Xiaorui to maintain her current relationship with Chen Feng.

What was especially crucial was that Wu Mengting said if she ever got tired or weary of it in the future and didn’t want to continue with Chen Feng, she would do everything she could to help Sun Xiaorui and Chen Feng end up together.

This last point was extremely tempting to Sun Xiaorui.

She was very clear about the place Wu Mengting held in Chen Feng’s heart, which was why she had never dared to compete with Wu Mengting from the start—because even if she fought, it would be useless and might even backfire.

But that didn’t mean she was truly willing to be Chen Feng’s mistress forever.

If someday Wu Mengting decided to bow out, Sun Xiaorui believed that, as the woman who had lived with Chen Feng the longest and most intimately, she was certainly qualified to accompany him for life and finally become his legitimate partner.

As for the Mistress Alliance, if she joined forces with Guo Mengyao and the others and actually managed to drive Wu Mengting away, the biggest benefit wouldn’t fall to her. Instead, she’d just be making things easier for women like Guo Mengyao, clearing away their biggest obstacle.

So in just one day, Sun Xiaorui had already started feeling reluctant to keep teaming up with Guo Mengyao and the others to go after Wu Mengting.

But of course she couldn’t directly say this to Guo Mengyao and the rest, and since she had already arranged for Tang Jierui to come to the company yesterday, it wouldn’t look good to just drop it halfway.

However, the specific arrangements definitely needed to be altered. Originally, she had planned to have the manager of the artist department personally take Tang Jierui to meet with Wu Mengting, then arrange for them to have lunch together. At that time, in an outside restaurant, the pre-arranged paparazzi could "happen" to get some nice shots.
