After my divorce, I started to have good luck-Chapter 955 - 509: Playing Mind Games

Chen Feng left early mainly because he didn't want to deal with two women at the same time.

Jin Xinyan coming over suddenly was unexpected for him, but he didn't feel too awkward about it. He just noticed that Jin Xinyan's words seemed to have another layer of meaning, and Chen Feng was too lazy to get involved in the messy affairs between the two women.

After all, he wasn't emotionally attached to either of them, and he believed they wouldn't fight. So, he wisely decided to leave first.

After getting in the car, Chen Feng first checked his phone but didn't receive any messages, including from Zhang Jingwen.

Now he finally remembered Zhang Jingwen's situation. She mentioned a car accident and a sprained foot before; Chen Feng had been half doubting that she did it on purpose. Now that she hadn't replied back, he was basically certain.

She's really planning to shirk responsibility!

Confirming this point, Chen Feng was naturally a bit angry.

No one likes being deceived, or dealing with someone who doesn't keep their word. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Especially since, for her sake this time, Chen Feng had indeed given her a really good contract. But after signing, she refused to acknowledge it, making excuses to not fulfill their initial agreement.

Who wouldn't be angry about that?

Chen Feng had intended to call her and give her a piece of his mind. But he quickly realized that doing so would seem quite ungentlemanly and exhibit impotent rage, which was unnecessary.

He's a bit angry but not overly furious. When it comes down to it, he wasn't that enamored with Zhang Jingwen. It just happened by chance; she offered herself, so Chen Feng obliged, and they struck a deal.

Now he had given her what she wanted, while she only gave him half, clearly a breach of contract.

Legally, he couldn't force her to comply, but Chen Feng had his ways to make their previous agreement null and void.

So there's no need for Chen Feng to be excessively angry.

If she truly doesn't want to be his lover, he won't insist, as forced affection never tastes sweet.

But he won't suffer in silence either, and she shouldn't expect to truly get what she wants next.

After mulling this over, Chen Feng temporarily set the matter aside.

Zhang Jingwen is indeed beautiful, and Chen Feng does crave her body, but he doesn't lack women; there are more beautiful ones than her. Besides, it's not like he hasn't slept with her.

Therefore, concerning this matter, Chen Feng has a rather open and non-attached attitude.

Since his divorce, no woman has been able to make him obsess, nor will he ever deeply fall in love with any woman again.

He drove straight back to No. 8 Villa; it was about four o'clock in the afternoon, and he waited for Sun and Wu's two women to come back. Later, Lin Yujiao would also come, and they would all have dinner together, introducing her to Sun Xiaorui.

Other philandering men might think it's inappropriate, fearing awkward encounters, but Chen Feng felt it was very necessary.

His purpose is simple: to make them fully realize his philandering nature and not harbor any unrealistic fantasies about him, including his prospective girlfriend, Wu Mengting.

Chen Feng now regretted his six-month agreement with her and considered how to break up with her promptly once the agreement is fulfilled. Therefore, giving her a heads-up early was necessary.

Who told him to be so fickle?

A fickle man is hard to change unless he loses his manhood; otherwise, it's nearly impossible to change until death. Even if some reasons restrict him physically, his soul remains that of a philandering youth.

Chen Feng felt that he would likely never change this in his lifetime. Having been accustomed to extravagant indulgence, occasionally settling for simple fare is okay, but permanently being deprived of luxury is unimaginable.

Unless he suddenly becomes destitute or physically incapable, otherwise, it's quite likely he won't marry in the future, or even if he does, it would be difficult to love one person exclusively.

This is a very real problem.

Of course, it's too early to say such things now. Who knows, maybe there's a chance he'd fall hopelessly in love with a woman one day, and consequently lose interest in others completely.

There's a small probability of this happening, though it exists.

...

Zhang Jingwen waited at East Lake Garden until five o'clock in the afternoon, feeling worried and conflicted internally all the while.

She somewhat hoped Chen Feng would contact her, allowing her to have an excuse to completely fall; after all, she'd exerted all her means and schemes but still couldn't escape Chen Feng's grasp — what could she do?

Then she could receive Chen Feng's full support and promotion, making her famous again, even more so, shocking those who doubted or ridiculed her.

Simultaneously, she wished Chen Feng wouldn't contact her, so she wouldn't become the kind of person she used to despise.

In the past, she despised and looked down upon those female stars within the industry who almost inevitably rose through selling their looks and bodies. Especially before they became famous, most had an unknown sordid past.

But Zhang Jingwen, from debut to becoming a sensation, remained chaste and clean, entirely different from those seductive vamps.

Yet now, to rise again, to sign with Fengmang Film and Television Company, she had no choice but to compromise and make a deal with Chen Feng.

If possible, she still wished to adhere to her principles and not use her allure for transactions.

While waiting, with no message from Chen Feng or calls that seemed to have forgotten about the matter, her feelings remained complex and tangled.

She obviously understood, Chen Feng wouldn't really forget about this matter. On the contrary, Chen Feng likely had already instructed the company to blacklist her.

Thus, she hesitated whether to proactively contact Chen Feng.

Until five in the afternoon, she finally clenched her teeth and sent Chen Feng a message:

[Boss, I'm really sorry, I only now managed to handle things, dealing with insurance, visiting police units, and checking foot injuries at the hospital. Later, my family found out and took me back home for recovery. Once my foot heals, I'll contact you, okay?]

Unless absolutely necessary, she still wished to uphold her bottom line. She planned to use the "recovery" time in the coming days to have her elder brother or even her father and uncle employ their connections to dispel Chen Feng's ill intentions towards her.

Of course, to her family, she would maintain the earlier stance she told her brother, which is that Chen Feng wants to pursue her but she truly doesn't like Chen Feng.

If she could get her uncle to intervene, the matter would potentially be resolved. But the reality is that her family and her uncle don't have a great relationship. Her uncle has longstanding issues with her father, a real estate businessman, believing her dad hindered his career.

Her father and uncle share a mere brotherly bond, with no further intertwined interests or dealings — clear-cut, despite public perception being otherwise.

Thus, these past few years, her uncle has maintained distance from her family, with interactions limited to New Year's or important family events where avoidance was impossible. Other than that, the families rarely interacted.

However, during childhood, before her uncle was promoted, familial relations were good, and her uncle loved her dearly. After all, between the two brothers' next generation, she was the only girl.
