Only after being reborn did I realize how fascinating the world of the rich is.

A few days later, Cao Jinpeng took the initiative to find Jiang Xueying and wanted to apologize to her. Perhaps he had hurt Jiang Xueying too much, because this time Jiang Xueying ignored him.

After several more attempts, Jiang Xueying still ignored him.

Cao Jinpeng, resentful that Jiang Xueying had ruined his plans and prevented him from pursuing Liu Qianqian, gave up on continuing the pursuit.

Li Xiaofeng saw Cao Jinpeng's actions and smiled to himself.

He squandered a winning hand; there's no one else like him!

Logically speaking, someone like Cao Jinpeng should have been born in Rome and won at the starting line, but unfortunately, some people don't move forward, but backward.

This is also the main reason why dynasties change, powerful families rise and fall, and wealth rarely lasts beyond three generations.

Soon, the winter break of my freshman year arrived, and the year 2000 was just around the corner.

The demolition of his hometown is not progressing so quickly, so he can still live in his two old houses this winter vacation. It is very likely that this will be the last year he lives in the old houses. Li Xiaofeng is very emotional and cherishes it.

During this period, he went to the securities trading hall once and bought shares of Yian Technology. The price of the shares had risen from ten yuan to eighty yuan, and the amount had increased from 20 yuan to more than 160 million yuan.

However, this is not his ultimate goal. He plans to wait until the price is around 110 yuan before selling all his stocks.

He clearly remembered that the stock had reached a high of over 120, but that high was too dangerous. He kept in mind Li's words: don't try to earn the last penny. A little over 110 yuan could have made his net worth more than two million.

He doesn't have much money left now. He withdrew a little from the stock market, partly for the Chinese New Year and partly to prepare for getting a driver's license.

As I passed by Fang Huiya's house, I heard them arguing inside.

He didn't have the habit of eavesdropping, but the noise inside was so loud that his curiosity made him stop and listen.

"You brat, how could you spend so much money!"

"It didn't cost much. Compared to my classmates, I'm already very frugal. People laugh at me for being stingy!"

"So-and-so's son went to college just like you, how come he didn't cost you as much money?"

"I attended a film and television arts school, not a regular university, so there were a lot of extra expenses!"

"Your brother is about to go to college. With two college students in the family, how can your father and I afford to support you both!"

"Mom, do you think my brother can get into college with his terrible grades? He can't even get into a junior college!"

"You brat, are you looking for trouble? Girls are always more outgoing, how can you curse your own brother like that? What if he does exceptionally well and gets in?"

"With a total score of just over 300, how much better could he possibly be? Even if he gets in, let's wait until he does! Mom, I'm your daughter too!"

"You're a money-loser. If the school weren't refusing to refund your tuition, I'd make you drop out right now. After school starts, your family will give you another month's living expenses. If you want to continue your studies, you'll have to figure it out yourself!"

"Mom, what can I do? Even if I work part-time, I still can't afford a whole year's tuition and living expenses. You're driving me to the brink!"

"Don't give me that. I know you too well. You're always out there flirting with other women, don't you know how to find someone to marry? When I was your age, I was already pregnant with you!"

"Mom, how can you talk about your own daughter like that? How have I attracted any unwanted attention?"

"Didn't you want to be with that Feng Bowen? Go find him and ask his family to pay your tuition. If that doesn't work, you can go find that silly boy Xiaofeng. His family got a lot of money from the demolition of their house, which should be enough to support your schooling!"

"........"

It's not good to eavesdrop behind people's houses, so Li Xiaofeng left after hearing that and headed home.

As soon as he arrived at his doorstep, he saw Fang Huiya with red eyes, wiping away tears as she walked towards the Feng family's house.

Li Xiaofeng smiled and shook his head before entering his home.

.......

"Bowen, have you told your family about what happened to me?"

"Well...sigh, I've said it, but my family doesn't agree!"

"Why wouldn't you agree!"

“My dad said, why should he support other people’s women? He said we’re not even married yet, so he has no obligation to do so!”

"But I've already agreed to be your girlfriend, so why is your dad saying this?"

"That's true, but a girlfriend isn't a wife, they're different!"

"But you're not old enough. Even if I wanted to marry you, I wouldn't be able to get a marriage certificate. Besides, we're both young people of the new era; who gets married so early!"

"Huiya, logically speaking, your parents are both employees, so they should be able to afford to send you to university!"

"......"

"Huiya, actually I think girls don't necessarily need to go to university. They can stay at home and take care of their wives and children, isn't that good enough? Cooking and taking care of children, there's no need to go to university. It's so expensive!"

"......"

"Hey, Huiya, don't go! You're here now, let's go for a walk!"

"........"

"Didn't you agree to be my girlfriend?"

"Go ahead and run over your mother, let the car run you over!"

.......

Li Xiaofeng was sleeping at home when she heard a knock on the door. When she opened it, she saw Fang Huiya standing in front of her with red eyes and a pitiful look on her face.

No wonder she studied acting; she's a great actress. When she was dumped by Feng Bowen, it was this pitiful look that softened Li Xiaofeng's heart.

"What brings you here? What do you want?" Li Xiaofeng yawned and asked casually.

Xiaofeng, do you still love me?

"I don't like it anymore!"

Li Xiaofeng's words caught Fang Huiya completely off guard, and she had to swallow back the words she had prepared.

However, considering her current situation, Fang Huiya forced herself to continue, "What if I'm willing to be your girlfriend? I promise you, we'll get married after you graduate!"

Li Xiaofeng smiled and said in a nonchalant tone, "What, Feng Bowen doesn't want to be taken advantage of, so he's come to me to take the fall?"

"Ah...no...it's not what you think!"

“I saw you go to see Feng Bowen just now. Although I don’t know what you talked about, I can guess the general content!”

Fang Huiya kept her head down, clutching the hem of her clothes, and sat there, refusing to leave.

"Excuse me, I was just passing by the back of your house when your mom's voice was so loud that I heard her say she doesn't want to support your college education anymore!"

"You are indeed pitiful, and I sympathize with you, but Fang Huiya, this is your family matter, and it has nothing to do with me!"
