After the divorce, I started to transfer
Chapter 1878 I'm Not a Naive and Innocent Person
"Then I must congratulate you first. Your boyfriend is really good to you." Jones looked at Luna next to her and said with a look of envy.
His words pleased Luna, who smiled with a hint of arrogance and said, "I'm lucky; I've met my soulmate."
Hearing Luna's words, Jones felt a pang of envy. Chen Feng, with his outstanding charisma and handsome looks, was exactly her type. Moreover, he seemed quite wealthy; he was practically the epitome of the perfect man. In her youth, she had never encountered a man as perfect as Chen Feng; they were either lacking in charisma, appearance, or temperamental and womanizing.
She eventually married a man almost 20 years her senior. However, just a few years into their marriage, her husband suddenly died of a heart attack, leaving her a widow in her early forties. At her age, finding perfect love and a suitable man again was virtually impossible.
In reality, she didn't really care whether Chen Feng was rich or not; in fact, she actually hoped he wasn't. That way, there might still be a chance for her, the older sister, to be with Chen Feng. But now, it was clear that Chen Feng wasn't interested in her, and since he wasn't short of money, winning him over would be extremely difficult.
But Jones clearly wouldn't give up so easily. As long as she could still contact Chen Feng, or even become friends with him, she still had hope.
"John, what do you do? Can you tell me about it?" Jones then turned to ask about Chen Feng.
Since they were already in the same car and knew each other, and the other party's attitude was quite good, Chen Feng couldn't ignore him, so he said, "I own a film and television company in China, but I don't usually manage it."
Jones said, somewhat surprised and delighted, "You actually run a film and television company? That's really unexpected. In that sense, we're both in the cultural industry."
"I guess so. But as I said, I basically don't manage my company's affairs; I leave them to others to handle. I don't go to the company much either."
"Are you handing the company over to a professional manager? You trust them that much?" Jones asked with some curiosity.
Chen Feng couldn't give a truthful answer to this question, saying that he had handed the company over to his girlfriend to manage. After all, his nominal girlfriend was Luna, and besides, they weren't close enough to discuss things too much, so Chen Feng didn't need to explain too much to her. Therefore, he gave an ambiguous answer: "I guess so."
Jones then asked, "Luna, how did you and John meet? I really envy you two. And he's from China, so wouldn't you call this a cross-cultural relationship?"
Luna's opinion of Jones had improved considerably by now, and she said with a hint of pride and boastfulness, "I can only say that it was all God's arrangement. I met him in the hotel gym when I was in New York shooting an advertisement. The moment I saw him, my heart started pounding, and I immediately went up to him to say hello, and that's how we met. I swear, I've only ever approached a man like that once in my life. I don't even know why I did it. But I did it, and I was really lucky that John accepted me. I admire and thank my past self."
Hearing Luna's words and seeing the happiness and smugness on her face, Jones couldn't help but feel envious again. Actually, her situation was the same as Luna's. She had also met Chen Feng in the hotel gym, and she had also been instantly smitten with him, feeling her heart race and her heart flutter. He also remembered that when he saw Chen Feng lifting dumbbells, he had an urge to immediately go over and strike up a conversation with him.
But reason told her that the timing wasn't right, so she patiently waited until Chen Feng finished his workout before going over to talk to him.
Although Chen Feng wasn't the first man to approach her in her life, he was one of the very few, and the first Asian man she ever approached.
The harsh reality is that Luna, the young model, successfully flirted with Chen Feng and became his girlfriend. Meanwhile, her initial attempt to flirt failed, and now she's actively pursuing him again, but Chen Feng is barely responding. This naturally makes her somewhat upset.
Ultimately, she's a bit older, and her figure isn't as good as Luna's, that of a young model. As for looks, she believes that even now, she's no less attractive than Luna. It's just that a man like Chen Feng doesn't understand how to appreciate the charm of a mature woman like her. Youth is good, but maturity has its own advantages.
Jones felt a little annoyed. Ultimately, Chen Feng, this Eastern man, hadn't met enough women. Once he did, he'd realize that mature women like her possessed a unique charm.
"You were really brave back then. I might not have had that kind of courage. More importantly, you actually succeeded, which is truly incredible."
After praising Luna, Jones continued, "However, John is probably going back to his country, right? Then you two will be living apart, which will be a big test for you both, won't it?"
This was somewhat like rubbing salt in the wound. Jones did it on purpose, wanting to upset Luna because she was jealous.
As expected, Jones's question made Luna's smile become somewhat unnatural. But she quickly recovered and said optimistically, "This is indeed a test, but I think we can get through it. John promised to come to Los Angeles to see me more often. Also, I can fly to China to see him. I believe that as long as we truly love each other and truly miss each other, we can continue this relationship."
Jones couldn't help but sneer inwardly. She didn't have a high opinion of Luna and Chen Feng's relationship. The distance between them, the separation by space, and the fact that one was beautiful and the other handsome meant they were bound to have no shortage of suitors.
Especially for a man like Chen Feng, who is rich and handsome, women would be eager to throw themselves at him. She didn't believe Chen Feng could maintain his loyalty to Luna, a small-time model. She even thought that Luna, a small-time model in the world of fame and fortune, might not be able to maintain it for long.
She used to be a model agent and knew the industry all too well. Whether male or female models, as long as they are beautiful or handsome, they will face countless temptations, and almost without exception, they will be bought off for fame or money and become playthings for some people.
However, Jones still said with an appreciative look, "You're right. As long as you love each other, I believe you can manage this relationship well. Maybe you'll even get married in the future. If you don't mind me then, you can send me an invitation, and I will definitely attend your wedding."
"Thank you, thank you for your blessing." Luna thought Jones's words were sincere. Therefore, even though she knew the probability of marrying Chen Feng was very low, she couldn't help but feel longing and very happy.
Chen Feng, however, sensed a hint of sarcasm in Jones's words. But lacking evidence and with Luna caught up in the moment, he remained silent.
After Jones's flattery, Luna's impression of her improved even further, and she felt that Jones, as a female boss, was actually quite decent. Even if Jones might have some feelings for Chen Feng, it would be nothing more than unrequited love. Just as Chen Feng said, he could never be interested in a woman like Jones, after all, she was more than ten years older than him.
"What's the name of your company? Maybe we could collaborate in the future," Luna asked, taking the initiative to inquire about the other party.
Jones immediately replied, "My company is called Red Wave Advertising Planning."
"Wow!" Luna exclaimed slightly. "I know your company. It's one of the top advertising agencies in Los Angeles, a big company. I didn't expect you to be the female boss. That's really impressive." This time, it was Luna's turn to feel envious and jealous of Jones.
Jones smiled and said, "I'm not that great. I've only been in charge of this company for a few years. It was founded by my late husband. It took him more than ten years to develop it to its current size."
"I'm so sorry. Your husband was a very remarkable person, it's just a pity..."
Jones said without any hesitation, "It's okay, he's been gone for several years. Actually, I didn't have a very deep relationship with him. The main thing is that we didn't have a child together, which is my biggest regret."
Luna was surprised and couldn't help but ask, "You didn't have a deep relationship with him, so why did you marry him?"
After asking, she realized she had been a bit abrupt and added somewhat embarrassedly, "I was just curious, you don't have to tell me."
Jones, however, said frankly, "There's nothing I can't ask. The main thing is that he was a very good person, loved me very much, and pursued me for several years. I happened to be 35 years old at the time, and I wanted to have a child of my own and settle down, so I married him. It's just that we didn't have any children for several years after we got married. In the end, he suddenly passed away from a heart attack. I can only say that it was our destiny to be husband and wife for a short time."
Luna asked curiously, "Haven't you ever thought about finding someone else?"
Jones shook her head and said, "You know, I inherited my late husband's fortune, including the Red Wave company, as well as some real estate, stocks, and so on. That's how I became a nominally wealthy woman. So do you think these men who approach me are after me for who I am, or for the inheritance I received?"
Many men pursue me, but I feel they're all after my money, not truly in love. Besides, I'm already this age, in my early forties, and I've long since lost faith in love. Moreover, I don't find most men attractive, so it's better to remain single. Being alone isn't so bad; it's very free, I can do whatever I want.
Upon hearing this, Luna couldn't help but think to herself: You don't like ordinary men, but you like an extraordinary man like John, right?
“You’re actually quite lucky. You inherited so much of your late husband’s wealth; many women would envy you,” Luna said sincerely.
For some men, getting promoted, making money, and losing their wives is considered a very lucky thing.
Women, especially those who don't love their husbands, naturally hope their husbands will die soon so they can inherit all their assets.
Jones's lips twitched involuntarily upon hearing Luna's words. Clearly, Luna wasn't particularly eloquent, and these words had offended her somewhat.
Although she herself considered herself lucky. Her husband had been married before and had a child. Unfortunately, the child died in an accident, and his first marriage ended. His second marriage was to her. As a result, after her husband died, since he had no other relatives or heirs besides her, she easily inherited her husband's vast fortune.
"Actually, I don't think I'm very lucky. First of all, my marriage wasn't very lucky. I married a man I didn't really love, and that was bad enough. As a result, I couldn't have a child of my own. Now I'm in my early forties, and it's going to be very difficult for me to have a child of my own. On the contrary, you met a man you truly love at such a young age. And if you want to have a child in the future, it will probably be very easy. You are much luckier than me."
Luna liked hearing that, and a smile appeared on her face as she nodded kindly to Jones: "Thank you."
The two women continued their conversation for quite some time until the car arrived at the hotel. They had also exchanged contact information. Luna's attitude towards Jones had completely changed; she now found Jones, this older woman, much more agreeable and even made plans to go to the gym together the next morning.
After getting out of the car, the two walked together towards the hotel. Luna suddenly seemed to remember something and asked curiously, "You should have your own house in Los Angeles, right? Why are you staying at this hotel all this time?"
Jones shrugged and said, “I have three houses in Los Angeles. One is an apartment that I bought before I got married. The other two were bought by my husband before he passed away, one is a villa and the other is a large single-level house. My husband and I used to live in the villa, but I didn’t like it and I wasn’t comfortable living there.”
That large apartment was nice, I quite liked it, but unfortunately it was too far from the company, making commuting inconvenient. Then I thought, why not just stay at this hotel? It's very close to the company, only a five-minute drive or a ten-minute walk. Plus, I don't need to hire security guards, maids, or cleaning staff. I eat and stay at the hotel, and the annual fee isn't too expensive, making life very convenient and saving money.”
After hearing Jones's explanation, Luna's mouth dropped open slightly, and after a long while, she exclaimed in genuine admiration, "Impressive!"
They took the elevator upstairs together. Chen Feng and his two bodyguards had rooms on the 10th floor, while Jones's room was on the 6th floor. Clearly, the rooms on the 10th floor were more expensive than those on the 6th. This further confirmed for Jones that Chen Feng was indeed a wealthy man, even wealthier than her.
Jones simply said goodbye to the two of them and walked out of the elevator door cleanly and neatly, seemingly no longer having any thoughts about Chen Feng.
After the elevator doors closed and restarted, Chen Feng said to Luna, somewhat speechless, "Why do you seem to have become friends with her?"
Luna stuck out her tongue a little shyly and said, "Maybe I misunderstood her before. She's actually a very nice person and very considerate of other people's feelings. Plus, she's the owner of Honglang Advertising Company, so maybe we'll have business cooperation in the future, and she can help me in my career. So there's nothing wrong with making friends."
Chen Feng cautioned, "She's much smarter than you. I personally suggest you minimize contact with her. Besides, she might just be trying to get close to me through you, rather than actually thinking you're a nice person and wanting to be friends with you."
Luna smiled helplessly and said, "Of course I saw it. I know I don't have the charm to make her, a big boss, lower herself to befriend me like this. Her purpose is indeed to get closer to you through me. But now that we know, we're definitely on guard. Besides, you're probably going back to your country in a few days, so she can't do anything about it."
Seeing that Luna was reasonable and not stupid, Chen Feng stopped arguing and simply told her, "Just keep it in mind and don't let her scheme against you."
Luna said confidently, "Don't worry. I may not be the smartest, but I'm not stupid either. After all, I came to Los Angeles alone when I was 18 and have seen all sorts of people. I'm not a naive girl."
Chen Feng smiled, reached out and patted her head, then said nothing more. (End of Chapter)
