After the divorce, I started to transfer
Chapter 1883 I don't want to!
Although the servants and security guards that Moore had previously hired had all left, the ornaments, decorations, and even some of the wine collection in the house remained intact.
These items alone should be worth a considerable amount of money. In addition, there's his rather extravagant study; it has three walls of tall bookshelves, each piled high with books—at least several hundred, perhaps even over a thousand. These books were, of course, given to Chen Feng for free.
All I can say is that Moore is incredibly generous; not only did he give away houses, but he also included everything inside them.
When Chen Feng came last time, he had only been to the garden and living room, and hadn't visited the other rooms. This time, after showing them around in detail with Brina and two bodyguards, he was quite surprised.
Sure enough, although he had lived a life of luxury before, it was still far inferior to the extravagance of a true tycoon like Moore. The layout and furnishings of the house alone were clearly several levels higher than those in his villa in Xiuzhou.
It can only be said that he wasn't someone who knew how to enjoy life in the past, or that he didn't value material enjoyment that much.
The four of them looked around the villa from front to back, left to right, inside to outside. This whole process took more than an hour, mainly because there were just too many rooms of all sizes. Even though several people were staying in such a large villa, it still felt a bit empty.
Chen Feng is now starting to regret accepting the villa. He's realized that, just as Moore said, if he doesn't live there, the house will just sit empty, and he'll have to hire someone to take care of it, which is a real hassle.
Even if he were to let Luna move in, she would still be all alone. Even with Rebecca, Luna's best friend, there would only be two people. Then, adding two nannies, two bodyguards, and one security guard, there would only be a handful of people.
After viewing the house, Chen Feng told Wang Yichuan and Zhang Jianhui to each choose their own rooms, as they would be staying there that night. The two bodyguards were quite sensible; they didn't choose the main house, but instead stayed in the rooms near the entrance reserved for security guards or servants.
There are two rooms near the entrance of the villa. One is a security guard's room and monitoring room, right next to the gate. The other is clearly a room specifically for security personnel. Additionally, there's a room in a corner next to the main house, leading directly to the kitchen on the first floor; this is likely for the servants. The first floor also has several rooms with different functions, including a maid's room, guest rooms, and a gym.
Chen Feng and Brina chose to stay in the master bedroom on the second floor. The bed and blankets were already provided, so they could just lay them out and sleep. In addition, there were unopened toiletries and toothpaste provided, which showed that the house had indeed been well maintained.
As soon as she closed the door, Brina ran over and pounced onto the soft bed. She excitedly rolled around on it twice, then lay sprawled out on her back, turning her head to the side and smiling at Chen Feng.
She began, "I really love this house; it's like something I've seen in my dreams. Are you really willing to let that female model live in such a beautiful house?"
Chen Feng remained quite calm. He wasn't overly excited about acquiring this villa worth over a hundred million dollars; in fact, he felt a little troubled. After all, property taxes were due, and he'd have to pay them on time. There were also various maintenance costs and other miscellaneous matters. Therefore, he felt it necessary to hire a housekeeper or entrust the entire process to his lawyer, Frank.
“This house is just sitting empty anyway. After I go back to China, and after you go to study abroad, are we just going to leave it empty forever? Renting it out to someone else is not cost-effective, and I don’t need the money. It’s better to let Luna stay here, just to help look after the house.”
Brina said somewhat unhappily, "She's really lucky. She's only known you for a few days and she's already living in such a big house. And you have to hire a nanny, maids, and even security guards for her. She's just a small-time model, and she already has the treatment of a top star."
Chen Feng smiled and said, "You can definitely live here. You can consider not studying in Xiuzhou, but continuing your studies here. After all, we all know that Tunghai University is not as good as the University of California here in some aspects."
Brina quickly shook her head and said, "That won't do. I've already decided to study in Xiuzhou. Besides, you know, although I'm interested in my major, I don't want to plan it as my career. Studying is important to me, but it's not the most important thing. In fact, I've already graduated from university, so there's no need for me to pursue further studies."
Chen Feng continued to ask her, "So you're just willing to let Luna live in such a nice house?"
Brina shrugged helplessly: "What can I do? Who told you to take a liking to this little model? But I'm not envious of her. After all, once I go to Xiuzhou, I can see you more often. Unless she cheats on you, she can only endure the torment of being separated from you for a long time. I've experienced that feeling firsthand. I don't want to go through that again."
Chen Feng shook his head and said, "It's good that you can think positively. Otherwise, I think you could actually stay in Los Angeles to continue your university studies."
“No way!” Brina said, her voice slightly agitated. “I had no choice but to stay before because of my studies. Now that I’ve graduated from university, of course I don’t want to be separated from you for so long anymore. I want to be able to see you often.”
Chen Feng quickly reassured him, "Okay, let's try not to be apart for too long in the future. Besides, Los Angeles is your hometown after all. If you come back to visit relatives in the future, you can stay in this villa. It can be considered your home here."
“Of course, I’ll definitely stay here when I go back to Los Angeles,” Brina continued. “Maybe I’ll invite my friends or family over for parties. I should have that right, right?”
Chen Feng nodded without hesitation: "Of course. But out of courtesy, you should tell Luna beforehand, since she's also a guest here. Otherwise, I'm afraid you two might really start fighting."
Brina raised an eyebrow slightly and said, "What if she doesn't agree then?"
Chen Feng smiled wryly and shook his head, saying, "Then it's her fault. I said you're the lady of the house, so of course you have the right to hold parties here. But correspondingly, if you live together in the future, she'll need your permission first if she wants to hold any parties or anything like that."
Chen Feng's treatment of everyone was fairly even, but it still made Brina somewhat uncomfortable. After all, she had known Chen Feng longer than Luna, and she believed, without a doubt, that she loved Chen Feng more than Luna did. For Luna, a newcomer, to be on equal footing with her now was bound to make her uncomfortable.
"Then let's forget about it. Let's not hold parties here anymore. Is Luna coming tonight? If she does, I'll have a serious talk with her. She's not allowed to throw parties in this villa anymore, lest she bring some shady characters and ruin our house."
Chen Feng certainly didn't want Luna to frequently bring people to this house to throw some random parties; he wasn't a big fan of party culture in the United States.
So Chen Feng nodded and said, "You can discuss this with her yourself. I won't interfere."
Upon hearing Chen Feng's words, a smug smile crept onto Brina's lips. After all, she wouldn't have many opportunities to stay here in the future, while Luna would be living here long-term. Preventing Luna, a young model, from hosting parties here would undoubtedly be a significant constraint for her.
However, she quickly realized that when she and Chen Feng went to China, Luna would be alone here, far away and beyond their control. If Luna secretly threw a party, they wouldn't know. Therefore, Brina felt it necessary to have someone by Luna's side, or rather, to place someone at the villa, to secretly keep an eye on her and monitor her for any improper behavior.
Brina's eyes lit up and she said, "By the way, you said you were looking for servants, security guards, and bodyguards, right? I happen to have a pretty good candidate here."
"Oh? What kind of person is being considered? What do they do?" Chen Feng asked with some curiosity.
Brinna said, "She's my cousin, my mother's cousin's daughter. She's seven or eight years older than me, in her thirties. She's a single mother with a lovely daughter who's in the third grade. She used to be a police officer, but she was injured and almost lost her life. Plus, her family strongly opposed her leaving the force, so she retired."
She's currently working as a fitness instructor. I think she has a strong personality and police experience, which perfectly fits the requirements for a bodyguard. We could have her be that young model's bodyguard, or at least a security guard. What do you think?
Chen Feng looked at her speechlessly. Despite clearly not getting along with Luna, she insisted on introducing her cousin to Luna, making her cousin Luna's personal bodyguard. What was she trying to do? It was obvious she planned to spy on Luna and report her to her cousin at any time. This was blatant tactic of planting a spy.
Chen Feng could only offer a tactful suggestion: "Do you think this arrangement is appropriate?"
Brina laughed and said, "What's wrong with that? I know you trust this young model a lot, but you have to understand her profession. She faces all sorts of temptations every day, as well as the pursuit of all kinds of rich and handsome men. Do you really trust her completely and think she can resist those temptations and remain faithful to you?"
Personally, I'm not optimistic. Therefore, I think it's necessary to have someone from our own circle around her to help us stay informed about her situation. If this young model really shows signs of cheating or does something to betray you, I don't think you'd want to be kept in the dark after being betrayed, would you?
Chen Feng thought to himself, "I don't need to plant any undercover agents. I just need to shake her hand and have some contact with her next time we meet, and I'll know everything." But Chen Feng definitely couldn't tell anyone that he possessed this information-rewinding ability; it was simply too terrifying. With just a little contact, he could uncover all sorts of private information about the other person. In his eyes, others were practically transparent.
Therefore, he cannot tell even his own bedmate, his closest person.
Of course, Brina's ideas and arrangements weren't wrong, and most normal people would accept them. But Chen Feng was no longer a normal person; he possessed special abilities. Furthermore, Luna wasn't his pet canary; he never forced anyone. Chen Feng disdained such constant surveillance.
Therefore, Chen Feng ultimately shook his head and refused: "There's no need for that. If she really did something to betray me, that's her freedom. I've already told her that if she can't stand the loneliness, or if she meets someone more suitable, she can tell me in advance. I won't force her to stay; I will let her go gracefully and wish her well."
Brina exclaimed in surprise, "Darling, do you really trust her that much? What if she hadn't told you beforehand and had kept it from you all along?"
Chen Feng had no choice but to say, "It's not that I trust her, but I trust my own eyes and intuition, my super intuition. You know, if she really did something to betray me, I can sense it. So, there's no need for this somewhat unethical monitoring method."
After thinking for a moment, Brina said, "But my cousin, she's having a tough time right now. Being a fitness instructor isn't very lucrative; the competition is fierce, and many people are in that line of work. Plus, she has to take care of her child. A stable, high-paying job would definitely be better than being an instructor. How about we let her work as a security guard here? I know her well. Instead of hiring a stranger, why not let my cousin do it? What do you think?"
Chen Feng asked, "Is working as a security guard here more lucrative than being a fitness instructor?"
Brina explained, "It depends on where you work as a security guard. This villa is a high-end luxury residence. Just guarding the gate in this area can earn you at least seven or eight thousand dollars a month, and some can even earn over ten thousand. If you also work part-time monitoring the surveillance cameras, your salary is usually over ten thousand dollars, and an annual salary of over one hundred thousand is quite normal. If she works as a fitness instructor and doesn't work for a big company, her income is very unstable if she works independently. And she often gets harassed by some greasy men, after all, my cousin is quite good-looking and she's single."
Since Brina had said so, Chen Feng had to give her face, so he immediately agreed: "Alright then. If your cousin agrees, she can work here as a security guard. We'll give her $10,000 a month. We'll also need at least two nannies, one for cleaning and one for cooking. As for bodyguards, let's discuss it with Luna."
Brina said, "Security guards need to be on duty day and night, so at least two people need to take turns. So besides my cousin, we need to find another one, preferably a woman. As for a nanny, I think we should just hire one. Besides cleaning, she'll be responsible for cooking. Although the house is a bit big, as long as the salary is high, I think she'll be happy to do it. As for a bodyguard, she's just a small-time model right now, so I don't think it's necessary to hire one. If we really want to hire one, we can have her agency arrange it for her when she becomes famous. There's no need for you to do all this yourself."
Brina's words made some sense. Chen Feng nodded and said, "Let's wait until she comes over tonight and then we'll talk about it."
Although Brina was somewhat skeptical, she respected Chen Feng's decision. She nodded in agreement, "Alright then, we'll discuss it again when she gets here. By the way, don't tell this young model about my cousin. Just say you were the one who introduced her, so she won't deliberately make things difficult for my cousin."
Although Chen Feng didn't think Luna would be so petty, he still nodded in agreement.
That was the end of it, and the two didn't discuss it further. Brina then pulled Chen Feng back downstairs to the pool in the backyard, where they sat and played in the water.
She said with some anticipation, "I'm going to buy a swimsuit tomorrow morning. Before I go to Xiuzhou to study, I'll live here and swim in the pool every day."
Chen Feng smiled at her and said, "Whatever makes you happy."
But deep down, Chen Feng had some concerns. If she returned to China and lived in the villa with Brina and Luna, there wouldn't be anyone to break them up if they really started fighting.
Chen Feng planned to wait until Luna returned in the evening, and then the three of them would sit down and have a good talk.
Chen Feng mainly wanted to lay down three rules with the two of them. If they were to live together in the future, they were not allowed to cause trouble, quarrel, or even fight. Otherwise, neither of them would be allowed to live here anymore, and he would rather leave the villa empty.
The two played by the pool for a while, then Brina pulled him to the garden in front to admire the flowers. There was a swing among the flowers, and Brina sat on it, swaying back and forth, unable to help but laugh happily. She even took out her phone, a rare display of girlishness, and dragged Chen Feng to take many photos of her.
As the sun set and darkness fell, the two returned to the house. In the study on the second floor, Brina was engrossed in reading a book she had found on the bookshelves that covered the walls.
Chen Feng also picked up a book that interested him and started reading. His English level was now quite good; he could listen and read normally without any problems, but he still had to look up some difficult or obscure words on his phone.
The two sat facing each other across the desk, each holding a book, in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window. Their quiet reading was broken only by Chen Feng's phone ringing. (End of Chapter)
