After the divorce, I started to transfer
Chapter 1887 No Hiding, No Lying
The three women's eyes were all on him, but Chen Feng remained relatively calm.
After thinking for a moment, he said, "Let Eliza come and try it out first. Don't let her work as a live-in nanny yet. After a while, if you all think she's good, then we can consider letting her work as a live-in nanny. Of course, if you think she's not suitable, you can dismiss her. Luna, if you feel bad about it, you can have Brina dismiss her."
Chen Feng's approach was quite prudent. After all, you can only know a person's face, not their heart. Although Luna knew Eliza well, they had only been colleagues for a period of time, not close friends or family.
Single mothers certainly deserve sympathy, but to put it bluntly, not every single mother is good. Besides, Chen Feng was actually somewhat reluctant to have a 10-year-old boy living in his house, a complete stranger. He only said so for Luna's sake.
Luna and Rebecca were somewhat dissatisfied with Chen Feng's statement. However, Chen Feng's words were reasonable and well-founded, and they couldn't refute them.
Brina was quite satisfied with Chen Feng's answer. She glanced at Luna with a hint of smugness and then said, "Chen Feng's method is very fair. This Eliza, although you said she has worked as a part-time nanny, babysitter, and cleaner before, I'm sure you haven't actually seen how she works. Letting her try out for a while is the best way. If she's suitable, she can stay; if not, she can go. Just like Chen Feng said, if you feel bad about it later, I can be the bad guy and kick her out."
Luna said somewhat angrily, "Although I haven't seen Eliza work in person, her work ability was evident to everyone when she was a waitress at the coffee shop. She was very diligent and quick, and was recognized as the best employee in that coffee shop. Don't look at her with malice just because you haven't seen her."
Brina retorted somewhat angrily, "Where did I look at her with malice? I was just stating the facts. You're making assumptions. Whether your former colleague can handle the job of a nanny will only be known after she's been tested, not just based on what you say."
"Fine, I'll have her come over tomorrow. Her work ability is absolutely beyond question," Luna said defiantly.
Brina smiled slightly, showing no further objection. Although she disliked Luna somewhat, she genuinely harbored no ill will towards Eliza; she was simply stating the facts. It was only natural for someone to be reluctant to have a son living with them in the villa, spending all their time together. Chen Feng shared her sentiment on this point.
Luna was about to say something more when Chen Feng interrupted her, saying, "Why don't you take Rebecca to see this house first and familiarize her with its layout?"
Chen Feng clearly didn't want to hear them continue arguing, especially over such trivial matters. Furthermore, having Rebecca, an outsider, caught in the middle was akin to "airing dirty laundry," something Chen Feng didn't want to see.
Luna clearly understood Chen Feng's meaning. She genuinely wanted to thoroughly examine the villa inside and out, so she nodded in agreement and followed Rebecca, pulling her along to tour the place. Soon, they were off to other rooms.
After they left, Brina asked Chen Feng, "This Rebecca shouldn't have anything to do with you now, right?"
She understood Chen Feng's personality, and she herself had always been straightforward, so she directly asked the question that had been on her mind.
Chen Feng understood what she meant, and rolled his eyes at her, saying, "What kind of relationship do you think I could have with her?"
Brina said, "She's quite pretty, even prettier than that little model, and has a great presence. Don't you like her at all?"
Chen Feng shook his head helplessly and said, "You've misunderstood me too much. I don't just fall for every pretty woman I see. Luna and I are a case of fate. When she first approached me in New York, I refused. Later, when I came to Los Angeles, she actually came back to Los Angeles too, and we bumped into each other on the street. She started following me closely again. What could I do?"
This is God's arrangement. Not only does she think so, but I'm also a little tempted, so I started dating her. Rebecca is beautiful too, and it's impossible for me to say I don't like her at all, but I really don't have any feelings for her. She feels the same way about me, as you've probably noticed. So, don't overthink it. I'm going back to my country in a few days.”
After hearing his explanation, Brina was somewhat convinced and nodded, saying, "Alright, I believe you. Because you really don't need to lie to me. Like this young model, you just told me directly that you were dating her. That's good, no hiding, no lying."
Chen Feng chuckled self-deprecatingly, "Thank you for the compliment. It's understandable that you have doubts about me, after all, I am indeed a womanizer now."
Brina retorted, "Aren't you the same?"
Chen Feng was speechless. To avoid embarrassment, he reached for the TV remote and turned it on.
After watching TV for a few minutes, Chen Feng's phone rang. He saw that it was Molly calling and answered it casually.
“Darling, I’m in Los Angeles now. Are you still at that hotel?” Molly’s voice came from the other end of the phone.
Chen Feng replied, "I've already checked out of the hotel and am currently in a villa in Beverly Hills. If you want to see me, come to this villa. I'll send you the address later."
Upon hearing this, Molly asked curiously, "Did you buy a house in Los Angeles? Or are you renting a place here?"
Chen Feng explained, "Someone gave me a villa. It's quite large and the environment is pretty good."
"Who gave it to you? Was it someone who came to see you for treatment?" Molly asked, puzzled.
Chen Feng could only say, "The situation here is a bit complicated. If you want to know, let's talk about it when we meet."
“Okay, send me the address, I’ll be right there. By the way, is Brina with you?” Molly asked again.
Chen Feng said frankly, "Yes. There are two other people. One is Luna, whom you met in New York. We stayed at the same hotel as her at the time. The other is her best friend, Rebecca."
Although Molly already knew, she still couldn't help but feel annoyed and resentful when Chen Feng told her so bluntly.
She remembered very clearly that when the three of them had breakfast together in New York, she had shown her displeasure towards Luna. Then, after Chen Feng arrived in Los Angeles, he somehow reconnected with Luna and even started an affair with her.
This naturally made Molly even more unhappy. If it weren't for the delay caused by her father's affairs, she would have flown over long ago to cause trouble for Luna. However, she couldn't show too much dissatisfaction in front of Chen Feng. After all, she and Chen Feng weren't boyfriend and girlfriend, let alone husband and wife, so she had no right to criticize Chen Feng for this issue. If she had to blame someone, she could only blame Luna, the little model.
"I never thought you and that woman would end up together. I'm not trying to be mean, but I've seen plenty of women like her. They're vain, chasing fame and fortune, and they'll throw themselves at any rich man they see. They live off men, and she just wants to get money and resources out of you."
Chen Feng frowned slightly and said, "Alright, let's talk about it when we meet. Don't interfere too much in my and Luna's affairs."
After saying that, Chen Feng hung up the phone.
Although Molly and he have a decent relationship now, and Molly has helped him a lot in the past, she still doesn't hold as much weight in his heart as Brina.
After all, Molly initially only wanted his body, and even after some feelings developed, Da Tou still wanted to use his sperm. Although Chen Feng readily agreed at the time, he couldn't help but feel a little resentful.
In short, Molly's feelings for him were not entirely pure.
Therefore, Chen Feng could accept Brina's complaints and emotional outbursts regarding Luna's situation. But Molly didn't have that right.
Although Brinna, who was sitting next to him, couldn't hear exactly what Molly said, she knew that Molly was talking to her on the phone.
So she immediately picked up her phone and sent a message to Molly, asking what she and Chen Feng had talked about, and whether it was about Luna, because Chen Feng seemed a little angry.
Molly quickly replied, briefly recounting the conversation, which was indeed about Luna.
Brina then continued messaging Molly, describing her confrontation with Luna. Overall, Brina had a slight advantage, even though Luna had a best friend as an accomplice; after all, this was practically her home turf. Furthermore, Chen Feng, the male host, was present. Luna and Rebecca, her best friends, could only sulk and couldn't do anything about it.
Molly immediately said that she would go there right away, and then the two of them would work together to figure out a way to teach that little bitch a lesson.
Brina immediately reminded Molly that Chen Feng was currently spoiling the young model rotten, treating her extremely well. He was showering her with luxury cars, letting her move into this mansion, and even agreeing to invest in her best friend, wanting to make her a pop star. Therefore, if Molly tried to do anything to the young model in front of Chen Feng, she would only incur his wrath.
Furthermore, Chen Feng trusted the young model completely and was confident that she wouldn't betray him in the future. However, Brina didn't trust Luna. She felt that after Luna and Chen Feng began a long-distance relationship and an international romance, it would be difficult for Luna to remain loyal to him.
Brina told Molly not to rush things and to take it slow. Once Chen Feng returned to China, they would hire a private investigator to follow Luna. If they caught her cheating, Chen Feng would immediately kick this young model to the curb.
Molly supported Brinna's idea. She also held a somewhat prejudiced view of the modeling industry. This was understandable, as most people were like that, especially in America, where the chaos within the modeling world was well-known. She didn't think Luna was an exception, a pure and innocent figure rising from the ashes.
……
Meanwhile, Luna, having already shown Rebecca the first-floor rooms, quickly went up to the second floor. In the master bedroom, Luna saw Chen Feng's luggage and Brina's handbag. A surge of displeasure immediately welled up inside her.
Rebecca, who was standing nearby, also noticed this and whispered, "This Briona is difficult to deal with. She's been with John for a while longer, and it's obvious there's something between them. Besides, Briona is truly outstanding; she graduated from a prestigious university and is beautiful. Furthermore, she's a Los Angeles native, and she's even going to study in China for him—clearly she's planning for the long term, something you can't do. So, I think you shouldn't compete with her for now, because you can't win. Competing too much will only lower your standing in John's eyes, since you're the newcomer."
Luna said somewhat aggrievedly, "I didn't actively try to argue with her; she was the one who started picking on me. What could I do? I couldn't just swallow my anger and let her insult me, could I? I definitely had to fight back, otherwise she would think I was easy to bully, and she might bully me even more in the future."
Rebecca said somewhat helplessly, "You should just avoid her. Even if you live in this villa with her, try to see her as little as possible. She can't just come to your room and cause trouble, can she? If she really dares to do that, you can tell John, and then she'll be in trouble. It would be best if this happened a few more times, maybe then John will kick her out."
Upon hearing this, Luna couldn't help but smile bitterly, "So what if I kicked her out? John doesn't only have her and me as women. He also has a girlfriend in China. And here, besides me and this Brina, there's another woman."
Rebecca's eyes widened slightly in surprise as she asked, "Are you kidding me? He has other women here besides the two of you?"
Luna nodded helplessly, pouting slightly without saying a word.
Rebecca was speechless for a moment. After a brief silence, she said earnestly, "Luna, are you really sure? He's such a womanizer. If you continue to be with him, you're destined not to end up together. What if he stops liking you when you get older and kicks you to the curb?"
Luna countered, "Then what can I do? Break up with him? I've told you, I've already fallen in love with him, how could I possibly break up with him? I can't do it. I probably won't fall in love with any other man besides him. Besides, he's so outstanding, handsome, and rich, why should I break up with him? Furthermore, even if you find another seemingly outstanding man and marry him smoothly, can you guarantee you'll be happy for the rest of your life? Maybe in a few years he'll cheat on you."
Hearing this, Rebecca was speechless for a moment and could only smile wryly, "I said before that I would support whatever decision you make. I just really didn't expect him to be such a womanizer, and that you would have a cross-border relationship with him. He's living a carefree and happy life in China, while you're staying here to remain chaste for him. Do you think you can keep that up? Will you feel at peace with yourself?"
Luna calmly said, "At the beginning, I didn't have much confidence in this relationship. I just thought that if I could have him for even a day, I would be lucky. But after spending these past few days with him, I have fallen deeply in love with him. And as you have seen, he gave me a luxury car and now he lets me live in such a mansion. Do you think he will mistreat me in the future? So, even if he is only good to me for a few years when I am young, I will accept it."
Seeing that even her best friend had said this, what could Rebecca do? She could only continue to support her. She opened her arms and hugged Luna, encouraging her, "Don't be too pessimistic. I can see that John really likes you. Otherwise, he wouldn't have tried so hard to be fair and just when you were arguing with Brina."
Luna smiled wryly and said, "He actually favors Brina more."
Rebecca quickly comforted her, "Don't think like that. You've only been with John for a few days, while she's been with him much longer. In fact, John dotes on you more, otherwise Brinna wouldn't be targeting you like this. It's because she feels threatened by you." (End of Chapter)
