Flawless Metropolitan Divine Emperor

Chapter 0046 – Heartless and ungrateful

"Alright, let's not talk about this for now. Let's find a place to sit and grab a bite," Cheng Shaoqing suggested.

"Sure, I was thinking the same," Jiang Feng replied.

The two of them found a clean food stall and chose a nice spot to sit down.

"Wow, this is my first time eating at a place like this," Jiang Feng remarked, looking around at the bustling and lively surroundings.

No one could deny it. In his previous life, Jiang Feng's family was poor, he was weak and incompetent, and his studies were terrible. He had no friends and never had the chance to come to such places.

He couldn't afford it anyway.

Living at his aunt's place, he was grateful just to have a decent meal.

Let alone having the luxury to spend freely.

That was all wishful thinking.

But things were different now. Jiang Feng had been reborn, and not only had he solved his family's financial problems in a short time, but he had also moved out of his aunt's house.

Everything had changed.

Now, he didn't worry about food or shelter, and with no concerns weighing on his mind, he had nothing to fear.

He could eat and drink as he pleased, living a carefree and comfortable life.

"I don't come to places like this often either, just occasionally," Cheng Shaoqing said. "But the barbecue here is really good, much better than the dishes in fancy hotels."

"Yeah, that's true. Back in my hometown, I used to catch frogs and wild birds to grill with various seasonings. The taste was amazing, pure and natural, something you can't find in a big city," Jiang Feng reminisced.

"Really? Then I'll go back with you someday to try those delicacies," Cheng Shaoqing said.

"Sure, I'll definitely take you there when I get the chance," Jiang Feng promised.

Feeling happy today, Jiang Feng called out to the owner, "Boss, twenty skewers of lamb, ten skewers of vegetables, and ten each of tofu, mushrooms, and cilantro."

"Got it, just a moment," the owner replied loudly.

"And a dozen chilled beers," Jiang Feng added.

"Alright."

The owner quickly brought over the chilled beers.

Jiang Feng opened two bottles, handed one to Cheng Shaoqing, and said, "Let's toast. First, to thank you for taking me in, and second, for your care and concern these past few days."

"Sure," Cheng Shaoqing clinked glasses with Jiang Feng. Jiang Feng took a big gulp, while Cheng Shaoqing only sipped a little.

It was her first time drinking, and even that small sip made her cheeks flush with a charming blush.

"Haha, refreshing! A cold wave straight to the gut, making me feel great all over," Jiang Feng exclaimed.

"Haha, I didn't expect you to know such poetic phrases," Cheng Shaoqing laughed.

"Hehe, I just made it up. It's nothing fancy," Jiang Feng laughed along.

Soon, their skewers arrived.

The two of them ate heartily.

This time, Cheng Shaoqing also let go of her image, drinking and eating meat with Jiang Feng, clinking glasses frequently, and having a great time.

At that moment, Jiang Feng noticed a familiar figure.

"Isn't that Chen Shaojun?" Jiang Feng thought to himself.

Not far away, at another table, sat a man and a woman, chatting and laughing. The man was Chen Shaojun, Jiang Feng's uncle by marriage.

But Jiang Feng no longer considered him family.

Chen Shaojun clinked glasses with the beautiful woman across from him and said, "A-Ting, I brought you here to have some fun. Are you satisfied?"

"Of course, I'm satisfied. You're getting romantic, daring to bring me out. Aren't you afraid your wife will find out?" A-Ting asked with a flirtatious glance.

"Why should I be afraid of her? That woman, I've long wanted to dump her. She doesn't understand romance at all, always so dull, like a mute," Chen Shaojun said disdainfully.

"Haha, I like your boldness. Why don't you stay out tonight? We can have some fun at a hotel near Panlong Beach," A-Ting suggested happily.

Chen Shaojun's eyes lit up. "Sure, let's see your skills tonight."

"Of course, you've already experienced my skills. I won't disappoint you," A-Ting said seductively.

"No, you won't. Your skills are amazing, A-Ting. I can't get enough of you," Chen Shaojun said, swallowing hard.

Although Jiang Feng couldn't hear their conversation from a distance, their expressions told him everything.

Chen Shaojun was having an affair. How outrageous and reckless.

Jiang Feng's guess was spot on. A-Ting was an accountant at their company, attractive, fashionable, and single.

More importantly, she often flirted and dressed provocatively, quickly seducing Chen Shaojun, the boss.

After a few encounters with A-Ting, Chen Shaojun was hooked, as if his soul had been captured.

A-Ting's skills in bed were exceptional, making Chen Shaojun feel like he was receiving royal treatment.

At home, his wife Jiang Aiqin was a quiet and reserved person. He had never experienced such passionate love, making the contrast even more stark.

It was clear he preferred women like A-Ting.

So he had made up his mind, even if it meant divorcing Jiang Aiqin.

Seeing Chen Shaojun's infatuation, Jiang Feng felt disgusted and wanted to slap him.

What a heartless and ungrateful person.

His aunt had worked tirelessly for the family, raising Chen Xin'ai almost single-handedly.

Chen Shaojun had claimed to be busy with work, but now that the company was stable and they were living comfortably, he had the audacity to cheat.

Such behavior was despicable.

Even though Jiang Feng didn't acknowledge Chen Shaojun and Chen Xin'ai, his aunt was still family. Since he had witnessed this, he couldn't ignore it.

But this matter needed careful planning. He would find the right opportunity to address it.

Cheng Shaoqing followed Jiang Feng's gaze and asked, "Do you know them?"

"Sort of," Jiang Feng replied vaguely.

He didn't want Cheng Shaoqing to know, so he said nothing more.

Cheng Shaoqing nodded slightly and didn't press further.

They continued eating and drinking...

"Well, if it isn't Jiang Feng. What brings you here today? This is a rare sight," Zhu Bajie and Xiao Wanjun appeared at the wrong time.

Jiang Feng was taken aback. What was going on today? People he didn't want to see kept showing up, ruining his mood.

"Do you need something?" Jiang Feng asked coldly.

"Hehe, nothing much. Just happened to run into you and thought I'd say hi," Zhu Bajie sneered.

Jiang Feng had never forgotten the time he hit Zhu Bajie, and he was always plotting how to get back at him.

Recently, he and Jiang Yang had discussed and decided against directly beating Jiang Feng. Instead, they opted for a more cunning plan.

With the college entrance exams approaching, beating Jiang Feng could be risky. It could backfire, so they decided to humiliate him instead.

It can be hard to make great work when its stolen from "pawread.com".

If Jiang Feng lost focus on the exams, he would naturally fail and have to return to his hometown to farm.

Zhu Bajie was thrilled with this plan.

"Now that you've said hi, you can leave," Jiang Feng said bluntly.

"Hehe, don't be in such a hurry," Zhu Bajie said, unfazed. "I'm planning to treat everyone to a meal this Saturday, a little gathering before graduation. I'm here to invite you, hoping you can make it."

This was Zhu Bajie's plan. If Jiang Feng dared to come, he would humiliate him thoroughly.

Zhu Bajie stared at Jiang Feng, waiting for his response.

Jiang Feng smiled faintly and said, "Sure, I'll be there."

"Hehe, great. Looking forward to your presence," Zhu Bajie said with a hint of excitement.

This was the answer he wanted.

"And isn't this Cheng Shaoqing? You're here too. I've heard you've been hanging out with Jiang Feng lately. Seeing you together today confirms it," Zhu Bajie turned to Cheng Shaoqing.

He had noticed Cheng Shaoqing earlier but was just making small talk.

Cheng Shaoqing didn't seem interested in talking to him, continuing to eat her skewers with her head slightly lowered.

Zhu Bajie laughed awkwardly and said, "Well, I'll leave you to it."

"Don't let the door hit you on the way out," Jiang Feng said.

Zhu Bajie pulled Xiao Wanjun away.

But Xiao Wanjun looked disappointed, her eyes lingering on Jiang Feng, who didn't spare her a glance.

Indeed, Jiang Feng hadn't looked at her once.

This behavior made Xiao Wanjun feel very downhearted.

The boy who used to be so devoted to her had now become mature and influential.

Not only was he close with Cheng Shaoqing, but he also had connections with Chu Qingqing.

Had she misjudged him? Or had Jiang Feng really changed?

She didn't know. She just felt like she had missed something. Since being with Zhu Bajie, she hadn't been happy for a single day.

It was like jumping into a burning pit, a pit filled with Zhu Bajie's vile behavior.

In life, sometimes a mistake is a mistake, irreparable and irreversible.

Seeing Xiao Wanjun hesitate, Zhu Bajie narrowed his eyes, feeling a surge of anger. It seemed she still hadn't forgotten Jiang Feng.

Hmph, let's see how I deal with you tonight.

But Zhu Bajie decided to take a jab at Jiang Feng first, saying, "By the way, Jiang Feng, Xiao Wanjun was your ex-girlfriend. Don't you have anything to say to her? Don't worry about me. I'm very open-minded. You two can chat."

Jiang Feng finally lifted his head and looked at Zhu Bajie. "Zhu Bajie, you seem to be mistaken. Since she's an ex, there's nothing to say. I don't have time for that."

Jiang Feng still didn't look at Xiao Wanjun.

His words were like a dagger, piercing Xiao Wanjun's heart.

It hurt, really hurt!

Zhu Bajie was also taken aback. He hadn't expected Jiang Feng to say that, completely out of his expectations.
