Chapter 141 The Huo Family Women Are All Losers

Chen Wenjin was taken aback by Huo Ling's blunt question.

Huo Ling stared intently at Chen Wenjin, her heart pounding, revealing the turmoil within her.

Chen Wenjin was silent for a moment, then sighed and said:

"I'm sorry, Xiaoling. I shouldn't have kept this from you."

Huo Ling was not happy about Chen Wenjin's apology; instead, she went from being resentful to feeling dejected.

At this moment, she shifted her gaze from Chen Wenjin to Cheng Feng, who was standing to the side.

"And you, is there anything you want to say to me?"

Cheng Feng looked puzzled. "Do I have anything to do with this? He didn't cheat on me!"

"Xiaoling, I don't think this needs to be made so tense. You've seen it yourself, Wenjin and I have already been intimate."

Now that things have come to this, I should take responsibility.

If Wenjin has done anything wrong, I apologize to you on her behalf.

Cheng Feng spoke to Huo Ling with a sincere and righteous expression.

Huo Ling frowned, suddenly realizing that things were not so simple, and this did not seem like a typical adulterous couple's affair.

While Huo Ling was distracted, Chen Wenjin secretly glared at Cheng Feng.

Goodness, she joked before that she was putting all the blame on Cheng Feng, and Cheng Feng actually went against the grain.

"Cheng Feng, tell me honestly, how did you two get together? And Sister Wen Jin, weren't you and Wu Sansheng childhood sweethearts?"

Huo Ling's mind, which had been clouded by rage, finally restarted.

The first two questions went straight to the point.

Cheng Feng glanced at Chen Wenjin, who winked and asked if he should tell the truth.

Chen Wenjin hesitated, turning her head away guiltily, indicating that she was a little hesitant to let Cheng Feng say it.

"Well... here's what happened. The moon was very round that night, and I got into the mood, so I had a few drinks in my room."

Wenjin happened to need to see me, and seeing me drinking alone, she joined me for a few drinks.

You know, it's hard for young men and women our age to control themselves..."

Cheng Feng still gave Chen Wenjin some face and didn't mention that she had taken the initiative to stop him.

Although Cheng Feng didn't take the blame entirely, Chen Wenjin was extremely grateful that he hadn't completely shifted the blame.

"Drunken promiscuity, haha, my mom said that when I was ten years old."

"Drunken promiscuity is nothing more than giving one's desires a disguise."

Huo Ling sneered disdainfully. She might be able to fool others with such words, but what kind of tricks hadn't the women in the Huo family seen?

Cheng Feng shrugged, indicating that this was indeed the case and that he hadn't lied.

Huo Ling knew what was going on, and she looked at Chen Wenjin and suddenly smiled:

"It's still dark, so I won't disturb your sweet talk any longer. I'll head back now."

After saying that, Huo Ling immediately got up and left Cheng Feng's room, closing the door behind her.

After Huo Ling left, Chen Wenjin looked at the closed door with a worried expression.

"It's all my fault. If I had just left last night, things wouldn't have escalated to this point."

Anyone with half a brain can see that this matter is unlikely to be resolved so easily.

Chen Wenjin only saw four words in Huo Ling's smiling face when she left: "This is not over."

"I don't think it's too bad. If there's a problem, it's better to find it early and solve it early. If you drag it out until the end, there might really be no way to salvage it."

Cheng Feng could only offer hindsight; he wouldn't actually go and make things clear.

In that case, just as Chen Wenjin said, a huge black pot would be placed on his back.

"Let's take it one step at a time. I'll find a chance to apologize to Xiaoling properly tomorrow!"

As she spoke, Chen Wenjin tightened her clothes again. Wearing only an outer garment, she felt a chill and discomfort in her lower body.

After this shocking revelation, Chen Wenjin felt embarrassed to stay in Cheng Feng's room any longer.

After leaving the house, I jogged back to my room with my legs clamped together.

Hearing the noise, Huo Ling, who was next door, turned her head to look in the direction of the next room.

"Are all the women of the Huo family destined for this fate?"

Huo Ling thought of her mother, Huo Xiangu, who liked Wu Laogou, but Wu Laogou turned around and married someone else.

Then I thought about myself, the person I liked was slept with by my best friend right under my nose.

From this perspective, she's even worse off than her mother.

Time passed slowly, and before we knew it, dawn was breaking on the horizon.

As Huo Ling sat alone in the room for a long time, her resentment grew stronger. She refused to accept her fate.

Why are all women in the Huo family destined to be losers?

"My dear sister, you were born into the wrong family. With such a knack for attracting men, why don't you become the head of the Huo family?"

"Don't blame me for bullying you to this extent."

After making up her mind, Huo Ling started washing up and getting dressed as usual.

Then, without even having breakfast, I went out to handle my work.

Not long after Huo Ling left, Huo Xin came to knock on the door.

She comes over at this time every day to help make breakfast, and cleans up after Chen Wenjin and Cheng Feng leave.

After making breakfast today, she noticed that only Cheng Feng and Chen Wenjin were at the table, so she asked in confusion:

"Chief, Sister Chen, where is Miss Huo Ling?"

Chen Wenjin responded calmly:

"She had something urgent to attend to and went to take care of it first. Could you please pack some food for me to take to her when I go?"

Huo Xin suddenly agreed, thinking that Huo Ling was sleeping in.

After Huo Xin went out to sweep the yard, Chen Wenjin spoke:

"Cheng Feng, you don't need to worry about Huo Ling's matter. I will explain it to her."

"Alright, you know that girl better than I do, so I won't cause you any more trouble."

Cheng Feng was actually a little disappointed, if it weren't for Chen Wenjin intercepting him.

He felt that in the end he would most likely have to choose between Huo Ling and Yang Xueli.

Therefore, it's best for him not to get involved in Huo Ling's matter, otherwise it will only have the opposite effect.

After breakfast, Chen Wenjin left home with the packed food.

As usual, Cheng Feng stretched his arms and legs in the yard.

Then I brewed a pot of hot tea and sat in the living room, where the little flower at my feet was wolfing down its breakfast.

Perhaps because of the cold weather, Xiaoman rarely appears in the morning, and only emerges from underground to take a stroll when the sun comes out at noon.

"Stealing half a day of leisure from a busy life, if only there weren't so many troubles."

Just as Cheng Feng was sighing over this, there was a knock on the door.

When Huo Xin opened the door, he found that the person who came in was a disciple of the Unloading Ridge sect.

"Miss Huo, is Chief Steward still here?"

The disciples of the Unloading Ridge Sect did not rush in blindly, but instead politely inquired of Huo Xin.

Huo Xin quickly replied, "You always keep your head in the living room, come in quickly!"

Huo Ling knew why these men respected her, so she didn't act superior.

Moreover, she was just a newcomer to Cheng Feng, and there was no comparison between her and the disciples of the Unloading Ridge Sect.

After entering the courtyard, the disciples of the Unloading Ridge Sect went straight to the living room.

Upon entering, one sees Cheng Feng sitting upright in a grand chair, with the tiger at his feet looking up at him.

"Boss, there's a problem on our construction site. We'd appreciate it if you could take a look."
