Chapter 304 This is our new home
"You're welcome." Phantom said calmly, "Your brother is also my friend."
"If you need any help in the future, just let me know," Chu Feng said.
"Okay." Phantom nodded.
Chu Feng sent Phantom back to his residence, and then left with Chu Tian.
"Brother, where are we going now?" Chu Tian asked.
Chu Feng smiled mysteriously and said, "Go to a place you would never expect."
Chu Tian was full of curiosity and followed Chu Feng into the car.
The car sped all the way and finally stopped in front of a luxurious villa.
"Brother, this is..." Chu Tian asked in surprise.
Chu Feng smiled and said, "This is our new home."
"New home?" Chu Tian repeated these two words, feeling mixed emotions. He looked around, the towering walls and the intricately carved gates all showed the luxury of this villa. This was completely inconsistent with his impression of his brother's low-key and simple style.
Chu Feng saw Chu Tian's confusion and explained with a smile: "Before, I lived that kind of life in order to protect you. Now that the Phantom's problem has been resolved, we can live a normal life."
Chu Tian nodded as if he understood, and followed Chu Feng into the villa.
The interior of the villa was even more magnificent, with crystal chandeliers, leather sofas, and valuable calligraphy and paintings. Chu Tian felt as if he was in a dream.
"Do you like it?" Chu Feng asked.
Chu Tian nodded honestly and said, "I like it, but..."
"but what?"
"But I always feel that it's a little unreal." Chu Tian said, "Brother, tell me the truth, where did you get all this money from?"
Chu Feng walked to the wine cabinet, poured two glasses of red wine, handed one to Chu Tian, and said, "Don't worry, this money came from formal channels. I invested in some projects and made a lot of money."
Chu Tian took the wine glass, took a sip, and said, "Brother, you never told me that you would invest before."
Chu Feng smiled and said, "Wasn't I afraid that you would worry before? Now that you have grown up, it's time to let you know some things."
Chu Tian nodded, but his heart was still full of doubts. He always felt that his brother was hiding something from him, but he didn't know how to ask.
In the next few days, Chu Tian slowly adapted to his new life. He began to learn some business knowledge and also came into contact with some people from the upper class.
Chu Feng was very strict with Chu Tian, requiring him to master some necessary skills in a short period of time. Although Chu Tian was a little uncomfortable, he knew that his brother was doing it for his own good, so he studied hard and did not dare to slack off.
One night, Chu Feng took Chu Tian to a private party. At the party, Chu Tian met a girl named Lin Wan'er. Lin Wan'er had a sweet look and a lively personality, and she soon became very active in chatting with Chu Tian.
Chu Feng watched the two of them talking happily and nodded secretly. Lin Wan'er's father was a business tycoon. If Chu Tian could be with her, it would be of great help to his career.
After the party, Chu Feng said to Chu Tian, "What do you think of Lin Wan'er?"
Chu Tian thought for a moment and said, "She is a nice person, very pretty, and very talkative."
Chu Feng smiled and said, "That's good. Get in touch with her more in the future."
Chu Tian nodded, but he felt a little confused. He didn't know how he felt about Lin Wan'er, nor did he know why his brother wanted him to have more contact with her.
In the following days, Chu Tian often met Lin Wan'er. They ate together, went shopping together, and watched movies together. Chu Tian gradually found that he had a good impression of Lin Wan'er.
Lin Wan'er also had a good impression of Chu Tian. She felt that although Chu Tian came from an ordinary family, he was very talented and had a gentle personality.
The feelings between the two gradually heated up and they soon established a romantic relationship.
Chu Feng was very happy when he learned about this. He felt that his plan was going very smoothly.
However, Chu Tian and Lin Wan'er's romance did not last long.
One day, Chu Tian overheard Lin Wan'er talking on the phone with her friend, saying that she was just using Chu Tian and would dump him when she got tired of him.
Chu Tian was struck by lightning when he heard these words. He couldn't believe that the girl he loved so much had been deceiving him.
He found Lin Wan'er and asked her why she did this.
Lin Wan'er did not deny it. Instead, she said with disdain: "Do you think I really like you? I'm just using you. A poor boy like you is worthy of me?"
Chu Tian's heart was completely broken. He turned away from Lin Wan'er, his heart filled with pain and despair.
He returned to the villa and locked himself in the room, refusing to eat, drink or speak.
Chu Feng was very angry when he learned about this. He found Lin Wan'er and gave her a severe lesson.
Then, he came to Chu Tian's room and comforted him: "Tian'er, don't be sad. This kind of woman is not worth your sadness."
Chu Tian raised his head and looked at Chu Feng, his eyes full of pain and confusion, and asked: "Brother, why? Why did she do this to me?"
Chu Feng sighed and said, "This world is like this, full of deception and betrayal. But you can't give up hope because of this. You have to cheer up and make yourself stronger.
Chu Feng's hand fell on Chu Tian's shoulder, the force was gentle but with a weight that could not be ignored. "Tian'er, this world is indeed cruel, but you can't be defeated by it. Lin Wan'er is just a passer-by in your life. She is not worth wasting your time and feelings."
Chu Tian's eyes were empty, like a puppet that had lost its soul. "Brother, I... I don't know... I feel like a fool..." His voice was hoarse and choked.
Chu Feng sighed, pulled Chu Tian up, and pressed him on the sofa. "Fool? You are just too naive. Many women in this world are like Lin Wan'er, vain and greedy. They only care about your money and status. Do you think she likes you as a person? She likes the Chu family behind you!"
"But... when she... when she smiled at me... I felt... she was sincere..." Chu Tian spoke intermittently, tears blurring his vision again.
"Sincerely? Ha!" Chu Feng sneered, "Tian'er, you are too naive. How can there be so much sincerity in this world? Especially in such a luxurious upper-class society. Do you think those ladies are really pure and kind? They are all shrewd, more cunning than foxes! They approach you and please you, all for your money! Do you understand?"
Chu Tian shook his head blankly. He couldn't understand or accept this cruel reality. He always thought that Lin Wan'er really liked him and that there was real affection between them.
