Chapter 473 The Helpless Ren Feiping

The next day, the sky was clear and a deep blue.

Upon entering the studio, Jiang Wenzhen noticed the injury on Chu Fang's neck and exclaimed in surprise, "Oh my, what happened to your neck?"

"I got bitten by a dog," Chu Fang said angrily.

Jiang Wenzhen glanced at Zhong Tingyue, then examined the wounds closely, and couldn't help but exclaim, "You guys really know how to play tricks!"

What a load of rubbish!

Why don't you try what it's like to be bitten by Zhong Tingyue?

He sat at his workstation, and to express his anger, he didn't sneakily slack off like he usually did with Zhong Tingyue, but instead did it openly and honestly.

"Brother Chu, what's wrong?" the chubby boy asked.

"How are things going with that woman, Jiang Wenzhen?"

"fine."

Chu Fang sipped his water and said, "As someone who's been there, let me give you this advice: women are creatures whose faces you can know, but whose hearts you can't. Before you have any deep conversations with them, you must see their true colors. Otherwise, once things have turned out this way, you'll be like a caged bird, unable to escape and without wings to fly..."

Jiang Wenzhen walked past and threatened, "Chu Fang, I'm warning you, don't you dare brainwash my Guan Guan and say such things. I'm not like Sister Zhong."

Chu Fang's voice grew louder: "See? Women are all dangerous creatures. You and Zhong Tingyue are no different."

“No!” Jiang Wenzhen counted on her fingers, making a crisp sound. “What I mean is, I’m not as ‘gentle’ as Sister Zhong.”

“... ..."

Oh, I forgot.

Jiang Wenzhen is a tomboy.

Chu Fang slumped on the table, then heard someone tap on it. He looked up and saw Zhong Tingyue standing in front of him, saying, "Come out with me."

"I'm not going!"

"what ever."

Zhong Tingyue then left the studio, and Chu Fang, after thinking for a moment, followed her out.

Once in the car, he asked, "Where to?"

"Go to the house I bought."

Soon they arrived at the residential complex where the house was located. They took the elevator upstairs and came to the house that Zhong Tingyue had bought. It was still a bare shell, with bricks and cement piled up everywhere and dust mixed in the air.

Upon entering the house, Zhong Tingyue looked around, stroking her chin as if pondering how to design her home.

"Hey, what do you think about turning this house into a classic three-bedroom, one-living-room apartment?" she asked. "The decor will be in a European style."

"This house is for your parents to live in. Are they used to European-style decoration?" Chu Fang rolled his eyes: "Pure idiot."

Zhong Tingyue nodded.

She then walked around the house, thinking about how to decorate it, occasionally asking Chu Fang for his opinion. She had the whole house in her mind and didn't stay any longer. The two of them left the community together.

Just as he stepped out of the residential compound, he received a call from Ren Feiping, who asked him to meet.

Chu Fang showed the information to Zhong Tingyue, who gritted her teeth and said, "He's a scumbag, and you're no better."

"Then I won't go."

"Get out of here and don't show your face in front of me again."

He kissed Zhong Tingyue on the lips, then left happily, while she touched her lips in disgust: "Tch!"

... ...

Following the navigation, Chu Fang arrived at the residential area where Ren Feiping lived.

This was the first time he had met Ren Feiping not in a bar, but at home. In the past, this guy seemed to live in a bar for 25 hours straight.

"You've arrived." As soon as the door opened, Ren Feiping was seen. A strong smell of alcohol filled the air around him, and his eyes were dark-rimmed, as if he had been up for days and nights.

"You're still alive? What a pity."

Ren Feiping had no intention of arguing with him. He went to the refrigerator, took out two cans of beer, and tossed one to Chu Fang. The latter didn't drink it and put it aside, while Ren Feiping opened the beer and drank it in big gulps. A lot of beer was piled up on the ground, indicating that he had drunk a lot.

While drinking, Ren Feiping sat on the ground, his eyes vacant, as if he were unconscious.

Chu Fang looked the house up and down. It was a standard one-bedroom apartment with a beautifully decorated interior, perfect for one person to live in.

"Is this house yours?"

Ren Feiping slowly came to his senses: "No, it was rented."

"You've been living in Shanghai for so many years and you still haven't bought a house. How did you manage to do that?"

Ren Feiping is considered a high-income earner. He has been with many wealthy women and men, and even invested in a bar. Surprisingly, he hasn't even bought a house yet.

Chu Fang: "Speak, why did you call me here? If there's nothing else, I'm leaving. I'm very busy."

Although I don't know what I'm busy with, I'm just very busy.

Ren Feiping frowned slightly and said softly, "I thought about it all night yesterday. I want to see Tong Rui and that child. If possible, I hope to do everything I can to make it up to Tong Rui and that child."

"Come on." Hearing this, Chu Fang gave him a disdainful look. "You want to see her, but does she want to see you? Over the years, she hasn't told you that she was mentally prepared to raise a child even though she gave birth to one."

She paused, then continued, "They've completely given up on you and have no feelings for you whatsoever; besides, they might already be married and have a partner, while your child is calling another man 'Dad'..."

Ren Feiping covered his head and said, "Stop talking, stop talking."

Hearing all this gave him a splitting headache.

It's all because of the mistakes I made when I was young.

Chu Fang opened the refrigerator, took out a bottle of Sprite, and drank it happily. Seeing the scumbag like this was quite amusing.

After a long silence, Ren Feiping seemed to have made up his mind and slowly said, "No matter what, I want to see her and that child. After all, I am his father, and that is an indelible fact."

"Then go ahead."

Chu Fang quite approved of Ren Feiping's attitude.

At least they didn't just avoid it; instead, they took the initiative to resolve the issue, regardless of whether the final outcome was good or bad.

“But what I’m facing now is that I can’t find her.” Ren Feiping said bitterly, “She has blocked and deleted my phone number, and when I call her from another number, she immediately blocks and deletes it as soon as she hears my voice. In this vast city of Shanghai, if she doesn’t show up on her own, I will never be able to find her.”

"So, I want you to help me find Tong Rui."

The city of Shanghai is a vast and bustling metropolis with tens of millions of inhabitants. Finding a single person is incredibly difficult. After much thought, Ren Feiping realized that only Chu Fang could help him.

Upon hearing this, Chu Fang did not immediately agree.

It's not that I can't find someone myself. After all, I've lived in Shanghai for so many years and met elites from all walks of life, so finding someone is quite easy.

Instead, he needed to consider what kind of impact his finding Tong Rui would have on her.

It was obvious that the woman was determined and did not want to see Ren Feiping again. And if I brought Ren Feiping to her, would it cause any disturbance to her life?

Ren Feiping noticed Chu Fang's hesitation and said, "I promise, if she says no, I will absolutely not continue to pester her. Besides... I am, after all, the child's father. As his biological father, seeing the child is what I want most right now."

"Alright." After thinking for a few seconds, Chu Fang finally nodded in agreement. "You have to remember your words. If that girl has a family, don't harass her."

Chu Fang agreed anyway.

On the one hand, the two had known each other for more than a year, and this was the first time he had seen such a sincere face on Ren Feiping's face, and the first time he had truly felt Ren Feiping's thoughts; those words were all from the bottom of his heart.

On the other hand, even without Chu Fang, this guy could find it himself. As the child's father, he could find it through channels like the court or the police station. And finding it in this way is obviously not a friendly approach.

"Sigh!" Chu Fang sighed, glaring angrily at Ren Feiping. "I've sighed a lot these past two days because of you."
