The initially intended-to-board Yu Hongfen and Zhao Zixuan both looked over in surprise, and saw Wu Mengting stepping out of the car.

By now, Wu Mengting had already changed out of her bridesmaid dress, but because of her good looks, Zhao Zixuan recognized her immediately and couldn't help but frown slightly.

She didn't know Wu Mengting, and naturally had no idea about the relationship between Wu Mengting and Chen Feng.

"Tingting, you're here."

Zhao Xiaolan also spotted Wu Mengting and immediately approached her with joy.

"Godmother, I've missed you so much."

Although Wu Mengting was usually quite reserved, today, she was a bit more outgoing, and took the initiative to give Zhao Xiaolan a hug.

Zhao Xiaolan was quite receptive and her face broke into a wide smile.

"I've missed you too, come on in, I've cooked something delicious for you."

Zhao Xiaolan affectionately took Wu Mengting's hand and headed towards the house, completely forgetting about Zhao Zixuan and Yu Hongfen.

Yu Hongfen, being a town local and somewhat related to Chen Feng's family, often heard some gossip about Chen Feng's family at home.

She knew that Chen Feng was now making money and seemed quite popular with the ladies. Several beautiful women proactively visited his home, especially one beautiful graduate from East Sea University, who was referred to as Zhao Xiaolan's goddaughter and frequently stayed at his place. She was already the unofficially chosen daughter-in-law by Zhao Xiaolan.

From what Wu Mengting called Zhao Xiaolan godmother just now, it seemed she was that rumored East Sea University top student.

"Chen Feng, isn't that beauty the bridesmaid at Qin Zhen's wife's wedding? How is she also your mom's goddaughter?"

Before Zhao Zixuan got into the car, she questioned Chen Feng, who was still standing by the roadside.

Chen Feng explained briefly: "She's my recognized godsister, and because of my relationship with Qin Zhen, she knows Qin Zhen's wife as well. They get along well, so she became her bridesmaid."

"Oh, I see." Zhao Zixuan smiled gently, then casually asked, "She's so pretty, she must have a boyfriend, right?"

Chen Feng glanced at her and said, "Not yet."

"I see." Zhao Zixuan's face revealed nothing, smiling slightly, she didn't press further, and bid farewell to Chen Feng once more, "We'll be in touch then."

"Yes, we'll be in touch."

After saying this, Chen Feng turned towards his house without any further delays.

Zhao Zixuan pursed her lips after seeing this and got into the car. Yu Hongfen followed, buckling her seatbelt while curiously asking, "Zixuan, what's up with you? Are you interested in Chen Feng?"

The two had been college dormmates for four years and knew each other well. Considering Zhao Zixuan's unusual behavior that day, Yu Hongfen had a pretty good guess.

With just the two of them there and given their close relationship, Zhao Zixuan didn't hide her feelings and said, "I do have some feelings for Chen Feng. Back in high school, I already had a little crush on him. But back then, I didn't know much and was quite shy, so we barely interacted. After the college entrance exams, we lost touch until now."

Upon hearing this, Yu Hongfen quickly said, "I suggest you find someone better. Chen Feng isn't suitable for you."

"Why do you say that?" Zhao Zixuan calmly replied with a question.

"You know he's been divorced, right?" 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

"Yes, and divorce is quite common nowadays. Besides, doesn't he not have kids? I don't mind that."

"You don't mind, but do your parents or your family mind?"

Yu Hongfen shook her head while starting the car.

Zhao Zixuan's family background was well-known to her. Her family wouldn't let her marry a divorced man, even if he had some money.

"It only matters that I don't mind. My parents shouldn't have any issues either."

"How do you know it's not an issue? From where I stand, your parents won't agree."

"He may have been married, but he hasn't had children, so it shouldn't be a big issue."

"Alright, let's assume your parents don't mind that he was married. But can you accept that Chen Feng is now a bit of a womanizer?"

Though Chen Feng was somewhat related to Yu Hongfen, she was still on Zhao Zixuan's side, so she didn't hold back in sharing the gossip she'd heard around town about Chen Feng.

Whether it was Wu Mengting, Guo Mengyao, or Lin Yujiao, they had all visited Chen Feng's house. Many people had seen them, and with Chen Feng now wealthy, some colorful rumors inevitably spread.

After a brief silence, Zhao Zixuan said, "That's somewhat normal, right? He's divorced and single, it's understandable for women to like him, even pursue him, or for him to be involved with one or two women."

Yu Hongfen was a bit speechless, exclaiming, "You're quite broad-minded. But even if you fancy Chen Feng, you might not get your wish. You've seen her just now. Do you think you can match up to her?"

"She's pretty and has a good temperament, but isn't she just Chen Feng's godsister? She's not his girlfriend. I don't think Chen Feng necessarily likes her. If he did, she would be his girlfriend or even fiancée, not just a godsister."

"I'm not sure about anything else, but you've seen it yourself. Chen Feng's mom genuinely likes her, and people say he's her unofficial choice for a daughter-in-law. I think you should give up. Chen Feng is really not right for you."

Yu Hongfen advised Zhao Zixuan like this for her own good.

In her eyes, Zhao Zixuan is a true wealthy heiress, and though Chen Feng had made some money, being divorced and a bit of a womanizer did not make him a good match.

"His mom's fondness doesn't matter if he himself isn't interested. I doubt Chen Feng has any particular feelings for that woman; otherwise, they'd be together by now." Zhao Zixuan remained obstinate.

Yu Hongfen was nearly exasperated, retorting, "How do you know they're not together? Perhaps they're already involved secretly. When a man becomes wealthy, he changes. Now that Chen Feng has money and is single, don't you think he'd look for women? And possibly many."

Zhao Zixuan paused for a moment and then said, "Thanks for your advice, but I have my own thoughts."

Yu Hongfen was both amused and frustrated by her comment: "I really don't know what you see in him. With your credentials, aren't the true elites and rich kids of Shanghai at your disposal? Are none more suited to your liking than Chen Feng?"

Zhao Zixuan smiled and said, "I have my own reasons, just wish me luck and help me out."

"Help you? How?" Yu Hongfen said with frustration, "Invite him over to my house and create opportunities for you?"

Zhao Zixuan laughed, "That could be a way too."

Yu Hongfen rolled her eyes, saying, "I think you should just ask him out directly and confess your feelings, maybe even sleep with him the same day."

"Haha, great idea!"

Yu Hongfen was so exasperated she didn't want to speak anymore.

...

Meanwhile, Wu Mengting was arm-in-arm with Zhao Xiaolan, entering the house, casually inquiring about Zhao Zixuan and Yu Hongfen's identities.

Fearing any misunderstandings, Zhao Xiaolan promptly explained.
