"Ling Mei, I'll ask you just one thing, are you my god-sister?"
Chen Feng said provocatively.
Li Hongling came from the countryside, and so did he. He was very clear about the character of rural people.
They hadn't seen much money, were timid, and didn't want to owe favors...
These were all characteristics of rural people.
Therefore, fifty thousand yuan, for Li Hongling, who came from the countryside, would definitely not agree to borrow hundreds of thousands easily, so only provocation would work.
"Brother Feng, you've helped me several times. Without you, Brother Feng, I would have been ruined long ago, and my mother wouldn't be alive. You're not just my god-brother, you are my real brother. I can never repay you enough in my life."
Li Hongling said emotionally.
"Isn't that right? I'm your real brother, and it's not a big deal for a real brother to borrow fifty thousand yuan from his sister, right? Usually, good brothers not only lend fifty thousand yuan to their sisters but give it directly. I can't do that, so I can only borrow. If you don't agree to lend it, then brother will be truly hurt."
Chen Feng continued to provoke.
"Brother Feng, I can lend it. However, I'm afraid I won't be able to repay it."
Li Hongling said with a conflicted expression.
Chen Feng was very satisfied with Li Hongling's attitude.
Generally, when women see fifty thousand yuan, they would definitely say one word: Take it, it's better to have it than not.
After borrowing, they would go and have fun. After having fun, they would make excuses not to repay.
Li Hongling was not like that. Li Hongling had the virtues of most people from the countryside and disliked owing favors to others.
Let alone fifty thousand yuan, even for fifty yuan, she would think of repaying it quickly.
Such a person would definitely succeed in their endeavors.
Achieving success through cunning and deception can only be temporary.
Only by having a righteous heart can one succeed for a lifetime.
"Ling Mei, you are not an outsider. I won't hide anything from you. Since you've decided to start a business and make your life different from before, you can't be afraid of failure. If you fail, you can always start over. Besides, you can endure the hardship of setting up a stall, so you can definitely endure the hardship of running a proper business."
Chen Feng encouraged Li Hongling.
"Brother Feng, after you said that, the stone in my heart has finally landed. Thank you, Brother Feng. You've always helped me selflessly when I was most helpless."
Li Hongling said sincerely.
"Ling Mei, please don't say that. To be honest, your unyielding spirit, your refusal to accept fate, and your kind heart have deeply touched me. I'm very happy to have you as my god-sister."
Chen Feng said with a smile.
As they were talking, Li Hongling was suddenly pulled out of the basement by her mother, who whispered a few words to her.
"Chen Feng, chat with Hongling properly. I have something to attend to outside and will be back in about an hour."
Li Hongling's mother said with a meaningful smile.
"Understood, Auntie. Don't worry, I'll take good care of Ling Mei."
Chen Feng didn't react immediately.
After Li Hongling's mother walked away, Chen Feng finally understood.
What business could Li Hongling's mother have at night?
As expected, after Li Hongling's mother left, Li Hongling immediately closed the basement door and started to undress.
"Ling Mei, what are you doing?"
Chen Feng asked in a daze.
"My mother said that you've helped our family so much, and she wants me to repay you properly."
Li Hongling said with a blush.
"Ling Mei, absolutely not. Honestly, I helped you not to get your body."
Chen Feng quickly explained.
"Brother Feng, I know you helped me not for my body. However, our family is poor and can't offer anything to repay you, except for my body..."
Li Hongling continued to undress as she spoke.
"Ling Mei, really, don't do this. You are still a maiden, and you have a bright future ahead of you. You can't just give me your body so carelessly. To be honest, I have many women, and I can't marry you."
Chen Feng continued to persuade Li Hongling.
"Brother Feng, don't worry, I'm giving you my body not to marry you."
Li Hongling continued to explain.
"If it's to repay a debt, I can't do this either. If it's like this, then what's the difference between me and Team Leader Wang or Director Tan?"
Chen Feng strongly refused.
"Actually, it's not purely out of gratitude. The biggest reason is that I like you too, Brother Feng. I've never said this because I don't think I'm worthy of you."
Li Hongling looked at Chen Feng with a smitten expression.
"Ling Mei, please don't say that. How could you not be worthy of me? I'm just a man who lives off women. Any woman is worthy of me. It's just that I have bad luck with women, and I will likely never get married in this life, so..."
Chen Feng responded smoothly.
"Brother Feng, you must agree tonight, otherwise, I won't lend you the fifty thousand yuan. Also, if you don't agree, my mother will never forgive me. Moreover, I also feel it's a pity. I like you very much and would like to give myself to you, but you don't want it..."
Li Hongling said with tears in her eyes.
At this point, Chen Feng found it difficult to refuse any further.
Forget it, since Li Hongling had said it to this extent, refusing any longer would be too pretentious.
So, Chen Feng also took off his clothes.
An hour later, after they finished, they came out as if they had just showered, drenched in sweat. The basement in Sandong City was indeed stuffy.
"Auntie, if you go to Mingshan District with Ling Mei, remember to call me if you need anything."
A moment later, Li Hongling's mother returned to the basement with a happy expression.
It was evident that Chen Feng had not refused her daughter, Li Hongling.
"Understood, Chen Feng. I can't thank you enough. I'll have Li Hongling manage that shop well in Mingshan District for you when you return."
Li Hongling's mother replied excitedly.
Chen Feng felt awkward.
After chatting for a while, Chen Feng returned to his suite with a bowl of late-night snack.
"Buying a late-night snack took so long?"
Nie Xiaosu said with a hint of jealousy.
"Miss Nie, I'm sorry, I was chatting with Li Hongling and her mother, and I lost track of time."
Chen Feng quickly tried to cover up.
"I suspect it wasn't just chatting, was it?"
Nie Xiaosu sniffed Chen Feng's body.
She wasn't a maiden and naturally knew what the unusual scent on Chen Feng's body represented.
Chen Feng was dumbfounded.
Nie Xiaosu's sense of smell was truly amazing; she could even smell intimate encounters between men and women.
"Miss Nie, I'm sorry, I couldn't control myself."
Chen Feng intentionally took the blame.
"Sigh, you, you're still the same. You always like to think of others first. Clearly, Li Hongling took the initiative to sleep with you tonight, but you took the blame yourself, for fear that I would be jealous and go to Li Hongling to settle the score. Don't worry, although I'm jealous, I won't go to Li Hongling to settle the score. I've said before that our relationship is like that between lovers. You have a bright future ahead of you, and you'll sail with full sails. As for me, I have my commercial marriage to consider. It's impossible for us to get married and spend our lives together, so I have no right to get angry and have a tantrum about your relationships with other women."
Nie Xiaosu explained calmly.
"Miss Nie, I..."
Chen Feng didn't know how to respond to Nie Xiaosu's words.
"Alright, this is a small matter, no need to dwell on it. Let's eat the late-night snack together, sleep well after eating, and we have to get up early tomorrow..."
Nie Xiaosu said with a smile.
"Isn't Hongfeng Electronics Factory on holiday tomorrow? Why do we still have to get up early?"
Chen Feng asked in confusion.
