After the divorce, I started to transfer

[I'd like to visit you to meet Chen Feng's parents. Is that convenient?]

Guo Mengyao sent this WeChat message to Liu Ying directly.

When Liu Ying received the message, she was sitting on the sofa watching TV, and occasionally glancing at Chen Feng's parents and two children playing not far away.

Therefore, she instinctively felt some resistance, even aversion, to Guo Mengyao's visit to Chen Feng's parents.

Simply put, this is her territory, and now Guo Mengyao actually wants to barge in.

Although Guo Mengyao had messaged her beforehand, politely asking if it was convenient for her, Liu Ying certainly couldn't refuse unless things escalated to a complete falling out.

And without a doubt, Guo Mengyao knew that Chen Feng's parents were on her side, which must have been something Chen Feng had said. If she didn't agree, Chen Feng would definitely think she was petty and narrow-minded, and she would lose points with him.

So, despite being very unhappy, Liu Ying pretended to welcome Guo Mengyao after a while and replied: "Of course it's convenient, come over!"

Guo Mengyao immediately sent her a smiley face emoji, then typed: "I'll be there within half an hour."

【it is good】

Liu Ying put away her phone, her expression somewhat unpleasant.

Hong Xiaodan, who was standing next to her, noticed and asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

Liu Ying said, "Mengyao knows Chen Feng's parents are here, and she messaged me saying she wanted to come and see them, and I agreed. Did she message you?"

"No." Hong Xiaodan shook her head and then asked, "How did she know? Did Brother Feng tell her?"

"Who else could it be but him? Chen Feng should be right next to her," Liu Ying said, her voice tinged with jealousy.

"So Brother Feng knew she was coming, then let her come," Hong Xiaodan said nonchalantly.

Hearing this, Liu Ying said with a hint of anger, "You silly girl, this is our territory. And since she knows that Chen Feng's parents are taking care of the child here, she still came over to try to get close to them. Doesn't that show a bit of disrespect to us?"

After thinking about it carefully, Hong Xiaodan nodded and said, "It is indeed a bit impolite."

Liu Ying said, "Her behavior was somewhat provocative, or rather, she didn't take us seriously. Also, she only messaged me, pretending to be polite and asking if it was convenient for me. Could I say no? She didn't message me at all, which shows she doesn't respect me at all."

Although Hong Xiaodan had a good impression of Guo Mengyao, Liu Ying's instigation still made her feel somewhat uncomfortable. It seemed that Guo Mengyao indeed didn't respect her. She had contacted Liu Ying but not her, which was clearly a case of differential treatment.

However, Hong Xiaodan made an excuse for Guo Mengyao: "Maybe... Chen Feng didn't explain it clearly to her, and she doesn't know that I'm living next door to you now. Or maybe she'll contact me later."

Liu Ying scoffed and said, "Then we'll wait and see if she contacts you. She knew perfectly well that we live in the same neighborhood when we had dinner together the day before yesterday."

Speaking of the dinner gathering of the sisters in their alliance group the day before yesterday, Hong Xiaodan thought of Guo Mengyao's character and suddenly felt more at ease. She smiled and said, "My sister Mengyao is a very generous person, and a bit easygoing. So, she might not be as bad as you say. She probably just wanted to meet Chen Feng's parents. After all, she knew they were coming to Xiuzhou, and it would be impolite not to meet them. As for her provoking us or not taking us seriously, you're probably overthinking it."

Liu Ying rolled her eyes at her and said, "You always think too highly of people. She treated us to a meal the day before yesterday. Did she bribe you? That meal wasn't worth much."

Hong Xiaodan said rather solemnly, "You can't say that. That meal the day before yesterday must have cost at least twenty or thirty thousand yuan, or even more. A few bottles of sparkling wine are not cheap, adding up to at least several thousand yuan. The dishes on the table were also very plentiful, with top-grade abalone and bird's nest, which are also very expensive."

Liu Ying said with some dissatisfaction, "It seems you really were won over by her meal."

Hong Xiaodan smiled wryly and said, "How can this be considered being bribed? I just feel that she is not the kind of person you described. Sometimes you just overthink things."

Liu Ying was even angrier at her words, but she couldn't argue with her, since Chen Feng's parents were nearby. She could only sulk in her heart.

Hong Xiaodan was not stupid, of course. Liu Ying's attempt to sow discord was too obvious. Although she was willing to be close to Liu Ying, after all, they were neighbors now, and their interests were aligned, both wanting to bind Chen Feng to her. But that did not mean she would be used as a pawn by Liu Ying.

Furthermore, Liu Ying's personality wasn't what Hong Xiaodan liked; she was too calculating. More importantly, she even harbored the delusion of trying to become Chen Feng's wife. How could that be possible? Even Wu Mengting couldn't achieve that, yet Liu Ying still had such thoughts.

Liu Ying was so angry that she didn't want to talk to Hong Xiaodan anymore, so she got up and went to the bathroom.

About half an hour later, Guo Mengyao came over carrying a large bag of gifts in each hand.

Hong Xiaodan opened the door. Liu Ying had gone to the bathroom half an hour earlier, then to the balcony and the bedroom, but she didn't stay with Hong Xiaodan in the living room any longer.

"Hey, it's you? Isn't this where Liu Ying lives? Chen Feng told me."

Guo Mengyao looked at Hong Xiaodan with a surprised expression.

Hong Xiaodan explained with a smile, "She lives here; I live next door."

Guo Mengyao looked even more surprised: "Oh, you live next door to her? I heard Liu Ying say the day before yesterday that you two live in the same community, but I thought you were at least in different buildings."

Upon hearing this, Hong Xiaodan knew that Guo Mengyao hadn't intentionally not contacted her beforehand, but rather assumed that she lived in another building, and that Chen Feng's parents were with Liu Ying, so she naturally didn't contact her first.

So, even though Hong Xiaodan had a little bit of a grudge before, it was gone now. She smiled and said, "I used to live in another building, but I moved here later. Okay, come in quickly."

Guo Mengyao nodded in realization and went into the room.

With a quick glance, she spotted Elaine Chao and her husband, Chen Dayong, playing with their two children on a soft mat on the living room floor.

She immediately walked towards them with a smile, carrying two large bags of gifts.

"Uncle, Aunt, it's been so long! I've missed you so much!"

Guo Mengyao greeted them cheerfully in her hometown dialect.

Even the usually dull-witted Chen Dayong immediately stood up from the cushion and gave her a smile when he saw her.

Zhao Xiaolan was much more enthusiastic than before. She stood up from the cushion and came to greet her with a smile: "It's been a long time. Mengyao, you look even more beautiful."

"Really? Haha, since you say so, Auntie, then it must be true."

After saying this with a smile, Guo Mengyao changed the subject, saying, "By the way, Auntie, I heard from Chen Feng that you came to Xiuzhou and are leaving this afternoon, so I came to see you. I also quickly bought some local specialties for you to take back. And these are toys for the children." As Guo Mengyao spoke, she put down the two bags she was carrying and then went to untie the gifts she had bought for the children.

"You're too kind. Actually, we already bought quite a lot of things yesterday, and you're still buying for us."

Zhao Xiaolan couldn't very well refuse, after all, she was used to receiving gifts, and refusing would seem like a distance. Besides, Guo Mengyao would be the mother of her grandson in the future, so she had to accept the gift.

Guo Mengyao said with a smile, "These are just some local specialties from Xiuzhou. You can take them back to eat yourself or give them as gifts. Okay, these are gifts I bought for the children. These two children are so cute, give them to them to play with."

Guo Mengyao bought a lot of toys this time, at least a dozen kinds, which she bought at a baby store on her way.

When she first saw Chen Feng's two children in real life, her eyes lit up, and she went over to tease them, each holding a gift in her hands.

The two children weren't shy around her, especially Chen Feng's eldest daughter, who crawled over and took the pretty rattle from her hand, shook it a few times, making a pleasant "dong dong dong" sound, and then giggled.

Seeing Guoguo laughing happily, the people around her couldn't help but laugh along.

At this moment, Liu Ying also came over and politely said to Guo Mengyao, "You're here, why are you buying toys for the children? They have enough toys already."

Guo Mengyao said with a smile, "It would be inappropriate to come empty-handed on my first visit."

Liu Ying also said with a smile, "We don't need to be so polite with each other."

Guo Mengyao also laughed and said, "Next time I come, I will definitely come empty-handed."

Liu Ying giggled and said, "That's more like it."

Seeing their harmonious and familiar conversation, Chen Dayong and Zhao Xiaolan exchanged a glance and both showed expressions of helplessness and relief.

The unfortunate thing was that his own son was too much of a womanizer, but the comforting thing was that his son was indeed quite capable, managing to keep the group at peace and prevent a fight from breaking out.

After exchanging a few polite words with Liu Ying, Guo Mengyao started playing with Guo Guo, who was bolder and less shy. Later, she even hugged Guo Guo and kissed her several times on the face. Guo Guo giggled and looked very happy.

This scene made Liu Ying, the biological mother, feel a pang of jealousy.

Fortunately, Guo Mengyao didn't stay long. Perhaps she realized that her presence made Chen Feng's parents, Liu Ying, and Hong Xiaodan feel a bit awkward, so after about half an hour, she excused herself and left, saying she had other things to do.

This made Liu Ying feel much better, and it also relaxed the tense nerves of Chen Dayong and Zhao Xiaolan.

The couple already felt some pressure when Liu Ying and Hong Xiaodan got together, but fortunately they knew they had a good relationship. They were neighbors, each had children, and the children were siblings who had grown up together and could develop a good bond. So they gradually accepted it.

But Guo Mengyao is different. Considering her current net worth of over a billion yuan (in cash) and the fact that she's pregnant with her son's child, there's no doubt that Guo Mengyao and Liu Hong are competitors. Even though they both appear very polite and friendly, neither of them really knows what the real situation is.

Moreover, with these three "prospective daughters-in-law" together, it was inevitable that they would feel awkward. In front of the three of them, they couldn't show any favoritism or closeness to any one of them, otherwise they would be suspected of being unfair.

Now that Guo Mengyao has left, they can finally relax.

……

After Chen Feng and Guo Mengyao separated, he went to Yang Ziying's place.

Yang Ziying is currently focusing on resting at home during her pregnancy, and to maintain confidentiality and privacy, she has not hired a nanny, but instead has her personal assistant take care of her daily life.

Regarding food, she came with her assistant, and for food safety reasons, she didn't dare order takeout. No matter how high-end or expensive the takeout food was, it certainly couldn't compare to the safety of what she and her assistant cooked at home. What if some additives were put in and affected the fetus's development?
However, both she and her assistant are only so-so cooks, so much so that she has actually lost two or three pounds in the past few days.

If she had been happy to lose weight before she got pregnant, but now that she's pregnant, losing weight is definitely not a good thing.

So, after Chen Feng arrived, she told him about it with some concern.

Chen Feng then asked, "Can't that nanny who's been with you for several years come and take care of you for another two months?"

Yang Ziying previously had a live-in nanny from her hometown who was also a relative. The nanny was a widow and a very good cook. She had worked for Yang Ziying for several years. However, the nanny recently resigned because she was going to Beijing to take care of her son.

Yang Ziying smiled bitterly, "She's already resigned, and for the past few years she's been my nanny, so she often couldn't spend the Spring Festival with her son. Her son felt sorry for her, and the two of them rarely saw each other, which was quite difficult for them. Now her son is doing well; after graduating, he got a job at a big company, and his monthly salary is said to be over 30,000 yuan, and it will increase in the future. So her son insisted that she resign and move to Beijing with him. Of course, she couldn't refuse, and I couldn't force her to stay, so I could only let the two of them reunite. Now that she's been resigned for more than half a year, I feel it would be a bit unfair to ask her to come and take care of me again."

Chen Feng scoffed, "It's only been two months, how is that unfair? You were the one who helped them pay the down payment back then, otherwise they wouldn't be able to afford a house in Beijing now."

Yang Ziying shook her head and said, "The mother and son have relied on each other for many years, and they rarely see each other. Now that they are finally able to live together again, it would be inhumane for me to break them up again."

Chen Feng shook his head: "You're just too kind. If you call her, I believe that as long as she has a conscience, she will definitely agree to come and help take care of you for two months."

Yang Ziying laughed and said, "It's precisely because I know that if I call her and tell her I'm pregnant and need her care, she'll definitely come right away. That's why I can't make that call."

Seeing that she insisted, Chen Feng didn't want to persuade her any further. After thinking for a moment, he said, "How about this, I'll hire a chef outside to cook for you, and then have someone deliver it to you."

Yang Ziying's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and she immediately asked, "Is this convenient? Also, what kind of chef do we need? And are the delivery people reliable?"

Chen Feng said, "Of course, we'll hire top chefs, preferably those who specialize in making nutritious meals for pregnant women. The delivery guys are bodyguards I hired; they've been abroad with me and been through life and death together, so you can rest assured. Besides, I'm just having them deliver the meals; you can have your assistant pick them up at the gate. You don't need to show your face."

"Then where do you want the chef to cook?"

Chen Feng laughed and said, "It's in the rented house of my two bodyguards. Those two grown men usually eat out or order takeout. I'll hire a chef to cook for you, and they can benefit from it too. I'll cook a few dishes for them as well."

Upon hearing this, Yang Ziying thought it was a good idea and nodded with a smile: "That's a good idea, and it will benefit them too, but it will be a bit of a hassle for them."

Chen Feng laughed and said, "They're basically idle now. If I don't find something for them to do, they won't feel at ease taking their monthly salary of tens of thousands of yuan."

Upon hearing this, Yang Ziying couldn't help but laugh and say, "That's true."

Seeing that she agreed, Chen Feng said decisively, "Then I'll have my personal assistant find a chef right away. Once he finds one, have him cook immediately. At the same time, notify my two bodyguards to get the kitchen ready and prepare everything."

Yang Ziying nodded in satisfaction: "Okay, I'll be waiting to eat something delicious." (End of Chapter)
