Reborn in 1994, escaping from marriage and going sea fishing, I won!

Upon hearing this, Xu Feng's expression vanished instantly, and he looked at Yang Wenwen with icy eyes, "Qin Zheng is outstanding, but I've never seen you pursue him! Now that he's married, you suddenly remember him? Don't you think this is going too far?"

"You treated Liu Yibang this way back then, and you're treating Qin Zheng the same way now! I seriously doubt you. Are you really angry because these men don't like you? Or are you jealous that Cao Yuanyuan gets the attention of outstanding men?"

"I'm jealous of her?" Yang Wenwen was greatly provoked, and she bristled like a monkey. "How could I be jealous of Cao Yuanyuan? She's outstanding, but am I not outstanding too?"

Hearing this, Xu Feng's expression became even more serious. "To be honest, Cao Yuanyuan is indeed more outstanding than you! Back then, she got in through the real exam, how did you get in? Do I need to explain?"

"Cao Yuanyuan gave up love while studying abroad, but she did not become depressed in a foreign country. Instead, she studied hard and became an outstanding graduate in finance, able to work for one of the best financial companies in the world. She was assigned to Shanghai with excellent grades, all thanks to her real abilities!"

"But what about you? Did you find your job at the publishing house yourself? No, it was arranged by your family! In all these years, have you ever discovered any outstanding writers? Have you ever published a bestseller?"

Yang Wenwen's face turned pale instantly upon hearing her cousin's words. "I didn't ask my family for help, but they insist that I come back to work! I have no choice!"

"Don't you have any conscience when you say that?" Xu Feng shook his head and chuckled. "You're just spoiled by your family. Everything the family does for you is not only something you should do, but something you despise! Putting aside family matters and the family's help, you can't even support yourself!"

Seeing her cousin's serious expression, Yang Wenwen shrank back in fright, realizing that she had gone too far.

"My family is so well-off, why shouldn't I take advantage of it? Why should I compare myself to Cao Yuanyuan? Just because she's pretty?"

Xu Feng sneered, "So what if you come from a good family? Why do outstanding men like Liu Yibang and Qin Zheng only treat you as an ordinary classmate? Why don't they pursue you? Because they don't need to curry favor with your family, and they look down on you as a person!"

"Cousin, why are you always taking the side of outsiders?" Yang Wenwen said, displeased. "I'm your cousin, shouldn't you be on my side?"

Xu Feng scoffed, his eyes filled with mockery. "If you weren't my cousin, do you think I'd be wasting my breath arguing with you here? My uncle is retiring soon, and he'll soon lose all his power. Even if he wants to do something for you in the future, those favors are one less he can use! How many more times can he use them for you!"

Xu Feng is now absolutely certain that Yang Wenwen is jealous of Cao Yuanyuan.

Yang Wenwen was unwilling, "But I'm just not willing! I was clearly the focus, but when Cao Yuanyuan appeared, I was overshadowed and became a supporting character, even less than a supporting character!"

"If you're not satisfied, shouldn't you strive to become better?" Xu Feng retorted. "If you're not ambitious, do you expect others to be even lazier and less motivated than you?"

"Cousin!" Yang Wenwen was speechless, and stamped her foot in anger. "Can't you say a few words of comfort to me? I've been so anxious these past few days!"

Xu Feng looked at his cousin Yang Wenwen with disappointment, "Why should I comfort you? And then encourage you to continue doing stupid things? We're so far apart, how can you be jealous of others? Aren't there any outstanding people around you? Can't you make yourself outstanding?"

“Li Anna, do you remember? Because of her stubbornness and madness, not only did she plunge her entire family into the abyss and cause their complete annihilation, but her parents were also driven to suicide by anger, and she deserved to be executed! You are now a carbon copy of her. Do you want to drag your entire family into the abyss? If you miss, just say so, so I can be prepared.”

"I..." Yang Wenwen was speechless. "Impossible...I can't be as stupid as Li Anna!"

"Thinking about it, that's a bit impossible!" Xu Feng sneered. "Because even if Li Anna does something bad, she's smarter than you! Even if you do something bad, your brain is probably still muddled!"

"Cousin, in your heart, am I worthless?" Yang Wenwen's confidence collapsed after being hit so hard.

Xu Feng asked directly, "What did you do to earn my respect? If you work hard and diligently, even if you don't achieve results, it just means you're not very talented, not that you have a problem with your attitude! But what about you? You work only sporadically. Have you ever respected this job?"

"As the daughter of the family, you don't want an arranged marriage, or even to get married, because you feel that an arranged marriage is a sacrifice of your personal happiness. Your uncle and aunt feel sorry for you and indulge you! But what kind of scumbags have you found? Do I need to list them one by one? You've accomplished nothing so far, how can I praise you?"

Yang Wenwen slumped into her chair like a deflated balloon. "Fine, fine, I agree to the marriage?"

"Don't you dare!" Xu Feng quickly waved his hand. "Don't think that your marriage is a sacrifice! Marrying into a family of equal social standing will only bring trouble to them. If the two families aren't close, they could very well become enemies! The consequences will be far worse than if you dated some lowlife!"

"Besides, the capital city is very big, but the social circle is not that big! Do you really think you've covered your tracks perfectly with all those shady people you've been talking to? Do you think any truly respectable family would even consider you?"

"If you were capable at work or had a clean reputation, you could find a good family to marry into in a family like ours! But you didn't do either of those things, let alone both!"

Yang Wenwen panicked and her face changed drastically. "Cousin, don't scare me!"

Xu Feng said calmly, "Do I need to scare you? If you continue to cause trouble and act foolishly at home, you won't even be able to find a good family to marry into!"

Yang Wenwen felt a chill run down her spine. "Cousin, don't be angry. I know I was wrong!"

“You’ve said similar things to me before, and many times!” Xu Feng said indifferently, “But you’ve never been so flustered as you are this time. It’s not because you know you’re wrong, but because you know your value is constantly declining!”

Yang Wenwen burst into tears, "Cousin, we grew up together, you can't just abandon me!"

"I'd like to take charge of you, but would you listen?" Xu Feng frowned. "If you had listened, would things have come to this?"

Yang Yuanyuan nodded quickly, "I'll listen, of course I'll listen!"

Hearing this, Xu Feng secretly breathed a sigh of relief. "From now on, go to work seriously and behave properly! Only when you become excellent can you treat your past foolishness as immaturity! If you continue to slack off like this, when you get old and lose your looks, you won't even have a normal family. When your classmates talk about it later, won't they look down on you? Your childhood friends are all better than you, don't you feel embarrassed?"

Yang Wenwen fell silent.

When she looked at herself in the mirror in the morning, her beautiful face showed some fine lines at the corners of her eyes; she was really getting old.

She used to like talking in the class group chat, but now she doesn't show up anymore. Isn't it because everyone else is getting better and better, while she can only stay in the same place?

"Cousin, I'm going to work hard now," Yang Wenwen promised. She couldn't waste her time anymore, and she couldn't become a laughingstock.

Yang Wenwen was such a coward. She was jealous but didn't have the guts to cause trouble. After being scolded, she behaved herself and didn't dare to make a scene at the wedding.

Cao Yuanyuan and Qin Zheng's wedding was a grand affair.

The Qin family was already well-known businessmen in Shanghai with many friends, plus Qin Zheng and Cao Yuanyuan's families.

The classmates came over with gossipy eyes, very curious: would Liu Yibang and Yang Wenwen come to the wedding?

Yang Wenwen didn't come, but Liu Yibang not only came, he also brought his wife.

The classmates who were originally very gossipy immediately became quiet. Liu Yibang had already brought his wife over, which was enough to prove that he had let go of everything.

If his classmates continue to talk about these things, that would be going too far.

Seeing that her third brother and sister-in-law attended the wedding and behaved as usual, Liu Meilan was completely relieved.

Qin Zheng and Cao Yuanyuan were also very open and grateful to Liu Yibang and Mi Xiaonan for attending the wedding and taking photos to witness this happy moment together.

Love may be love at first sight, but marriage is more than that; it also requires meeting the right person at the right time.
