After my divorce, I started to have good luck

Chapter 1214 637: Diamond Bachelor

Guo Mengyao is the typical sharp-tongued but soft-hearted person, especially towards those she is familiar with.This kind of personality really brings her no benefits, but rather plenty of drawbacks.

Her previous unfortunate marriage had elements relating to this aspect of her personality.

Even if she appears fierce and her words are hurtful, her ex-husband, who was thick-skinned and had ulterior motives, would not be discouraged but instead pursued her relentlessly. Because of her soft-heartedness, she easily gave in, eventually being won over by her ex-husband, a shameless and cunning guy.

Those genuinely suitable for her might have been put off by her sharp tongue from the beginning, causing her to miss out on many good matches.

Thus, people like her with a sharp tongue who easily hurt others often do not live very happily.

While such people may know many others and seem to have good social connections on the surface, they likely have very few true friends who are close to them.

Because very few people can tolerate a sharp-tongued and harsh-speaking friend.

Guo Mengyao is like this; she seems to have good social connections, and people give her face, but mostly due to her career success, her family background, and wealth, along with her good looks.

Otherwise, few would really want to associate with her.

After being scolded by Chen Feng, Guo Mengyao seemed to have given up the idea of being a doormat.

If Chen Feng didn't have a relationship with her, he wouldn't have said so much; he is not a preaching kind of person.

At around six o'clock the next morning, Chen Feng got up, went out to run a few kilometers, then returned to shower and have breakfast.

Around seven o'clock, Chen Feng drove to Qin Zhen's house in the county town.

In high school, Chen Feng had been to Qin Zhen's house a few times, but over ten years had passed, and Qin Zhen's parents had long moved to a new residence.

His family's old house was in the old city district, a unit-assigned apartment given to his father, over thirty to forty years old now. Even if not demolished, it was still decent after the exterior renovation, but the interior was inevitably outdated.

Now his family moved to a residential area built seven or eight years ago on the west side of the city, to a mid-rise. When they bought it, the new house was five to six thousand per square meter; now second-hand houses cost over ten thousand.

Following the navigation, Chen Feng drove for about twenty minutes to get there. There was a security booth at the entrance, and the access control and greenery were quite nice.

After contacting Qin Zhen, Chen Feng drove into the neighborhood and soon saw a long red festive tent set up on the main avenue, nearly sixty meters long. Inside, it's capable of hosting fifty to sixty dinner tables.

Qin Zhen's engagement party was held at his neighborhood, which was more economical than hosting it at a hotel. The tent setup added more ceremony and festivity.

Qin Zhen's family wasn't particularly wealthy, plus his father and he were both public servants, and naturally, the engagement shouldn't be too extravagant or wasteful.

The main reason is that in their Lu City, engagement parties don't involve collecting cash or gifts; everyone attending the party comes to eat and drink for free, and they receive gifts afterward.

Therefore, there's no need to rent a big hotel for the banquet.

Due to his engagement being held here, some guests from out of town unfamiliar with the area required volunteer drivers like Chen Feng for pickups.

Chen Feng wasn't keen to go to Qin Zhen's house at this time, predicting there would be many people there, but Qin Zhen couldn't come down immediately, so Chen Feng had to go up, as Qin Zhen needed to personally instruct him on some matters.

There was no choice; today was Qin Zhen's engagement, and he was the most important, so Chen Feng went straight upstairs to his house.

His house was on the sixth floor; upon going up, it was easy to spot because the door was open, and it was bustling inside with many people.

Standing at the door and looking inside, he indeed saw Qin Zhen and Pei Lei surrounded by several people.

Qin Zhen was already wearing a set of purple traditional groom attire with gold borders, looking very handsome and dashing, albeit a bit flashy. Pei Lei complemented him with a traditional bridal gown and intricate headpieces, exuding a gentle and refined temperament of a demure beauty.

Looking at them, they really suited each other well.

Chen Feng hadn't stood at the door for long when Qin Zhen saw him, hurriedly waved at him, and stood up.

Pei Lei also noticed Chen Feng, smiled at him, and stood up.

Seeing this, Chen Feng entered, noticed that no one had removed their shoes, and decided not to bother taking his off, and walked directly inside.

At this moment, no fewer than twenty or so people were gathered in the living room, mostly women of various ages plus some children, none of whom Chen Feng recognized, yet they all looked at him intently.

Fortunately, Chen Feng had strong nerves, otherwise in such a situation, it would be hard to handle.

"You finally arrived."

Qin Zhen emerged from the crowd and approached Chen Feng, then pulled out a sheet of paper from his pocket and handed it to him, "These are the guests I need you to pick up, two in total. They might each bring one or two extra people, so you can bring them all together. Additionally, if picking these two up allows enough time, you can help pick people up from the bus station as well, I'll contact you then."

Qin Zhen was obviously informal with Chen Feng; there were neither pleasantries nor a cup of tea, and he directly tasked Chen Feng with work.

Chen Feng took the paper and glanced at it; it listed two names along with their phone numbers and addresses, located about ten kilometers away from the county town in a place called Liutiao Town.

Though curious about who these two people were, it wasn't the right time to ask questions, so he nodded and said, "Alright, I'll go pick them up now."

Without wasting words, Chen Feng said this and was about to turn and leave.

"Hold on a second."

Mrs. Qin, who looked a bit familiar, stopped Chen Feng, glanced at Qin Zhen with a hint of reproach, then smiled at Chen Feng and said, "You must be Chen Feng? It's been years, and you've grown more handsome."

"Thanks for the compliment, Auntie," Chen Feng returned the smile and said flatteringly, "You haven't changed much since back then, I recognized you immediately."

Dressed in a festive cheongsam that made her look quite young, Mrs. Qin laughed heartily, "It seems you've become more conversational than before. That's a good thing. Come, have a seat and drink some tea; it's not urgent to head to Liutiao Town."

Looking at the full house of guests, Chen Feng quickly declined, "No need, I'll just go and return quickly."

Qin Zhen also said, "Yes, Mom, better let him pick Uncle and Aunt up first."

Only then did Chen Feng learn the identities of these two.

"Lunch won't be served until at least one o'clock in the afternoon anyway, and it's only early morning now, there's plenty of time," Mrs. Qin said dismissively and turned to Chen Feng enthusiastically, "Did you have breakfast yet? We have plenty of tangyuan here, would you like a bowl?"

Chen Feng quickly shook his head, "I've already eaten."
