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

Seeing the two slowly walking towards Li Xiaofeng's house, Feng Bowen, who had been stunned for a long time, came to his senses and quickly chased after them.

“Huiya, how could you be with him? He’s all alone and has no future. My dad is the factory manager.”

"After we graduate, I can ask my dad to get us both jobs at his factory. Then we'll have everything, while he's already sold his house and won't even have a place to live after he gets married."

Fang Huiya said coldly, "I'm just a little woman, with long hair and short brains. I can't think that far ahead. I only know that Xiaofeng is good to me, so I'll be his girlfriend!"

"Huiya, don't worry. I'll talk to my dad about your situation again, and he'll definitely find a way to help you."

"No need, my boyfriend will help me!"

The two entered Li Xiaofeng's house. Fang Huiya closed the door from the inside and saw Feng Bowen standing opposite her, heartbroken and unwilling to leave. His face was flushed, so she shouted at him, "Get away from me!"

Everyone in the alley where Li Xiaofeng lived knew each other; they saw each other all the time. Secrets can't stay hidden forever, and since the two of them didn't try to hide it, it wasn't long before the news of Fang Huiya and Li Xiaofeng being together spread.

When the news reached the Fang family, Fang Huiya's mother immediately came to Li Xiaofeng's house with a bag of apples.

"Xiaofeng, you're too reckless. You're with Huiya without even telling us. But since your parents aren't here, we won't be too hard on you."

"Aunt Fang, what's wrong?"

"Your Uncle Fang mentioned it to you a long time ago, asking you to support Huiya's university education, but you refused. Now you're doing this sneaky thing, making people laugh at you."

Li Xiaofeng smiled and said, "Aunt Fang, Huiya and I have never been secretive about our relationship. We've always been open and aboveboard, and we've never hidden anything from anyone. Just say what you want to say!"

"As you know, Huiya is beautiful. Which girl around can compare to her? I won't ask you for more. Just give me 100,000 yuan as a bride price. You two can discuss and handle the rest yourselves!"

"Ten thousand yuan? You're dreaming!"

"How can you talk like that? With Huiya's means, this amount isn't high. And it doesn't even include the three gold pieces, the wedding expenses, or the banquet costs. Do you think getting married is so easy?"

"Aunt Fang, Huiya and I are just friends. It's too early to talk about marriage!"

"It's getting late. Huiya is not young anymore. When I was her age, I already had a child. Besides, even if you don't get a marriage certificate, you should at least have a formal status with Huiya!"

"You gave us a bride price, which at least gives the Fang family an explanation. We can say the same thing to the neighbors. Otherwise, what kind of situation is this?"

"Aunt Fang, please don't bother. There's no way I'll marry Huiya, and as for the bride price, that's out of the question. If you have nothing else to say, please leave!"

"You brat, what do you mean? We raised this daughter with great difficulty, and you want to just take her for free? If you do that, I'll make sure Huiya never comes looking for you again!"

"Please go ahead, bye-bye, don't bother seeing me out!"

Fang Huiya's mother left in a huff, taking the apples she had brought with her with her.

A few days later, Feng Bowen arrived at Li Xiaofeng's door, beaming with pride, and said triumphantly, "Xiaofeng, you'd better give up on Huiya. My family has already proposed marriage to the Fang family, and Huiya will definitely marry me!"

"Oh, really? Congratulations!" Li Xiaofeng said casually as he locked the door.

It was lunchtime, and Li Xiaofeng, being too lazy to cook for himself, usually went out to buy something to eat. After finishing his meal, he planned to go to the stock exchange.

“My dad is currently negotiating the bride price with the Fang family. Once the bride price is agreed upon, Huiya will definitely marry me. Our family owns a house, and my dad just bought a used Santana this year, which cost tens of thousands of yuan!”

Li Xiaofeng said irritably, "A beat-up Santana is nothing to brag about, especially a second-hand one. And your dad's a factory manager? That's really beneath you!"

"Stop being so sour. The little money you got from the demolition compensation will be gone in no time, and you won't even have a place to live. But our family has a car, a house, and savings. How can you compare? Huiya isn't blind!"

Li Xiaofeng sneered, too lazy to argue with him, and turned to leave.

Just then, Fang Huiya rushed over and said anxiously to Li Xiaofeng, "Xiaofeng, hurry up! I finally managed to escape from home, and now my mom is going to drag me back!"

Li Xiaofeng smiled and said, "Bowen said that his family wants to propose marriage to your Fang family, and that you will definitely marry him!"

"Pah, he's dreaming! I'll only ever be with you!"

Li Xiaofeng smiled and pointed to his face with his finger.

Fang Huiya was very perceptive and immediately leaned in to kiss him, then took his arm like a little woman.

Feng Bowen's face turned ashen. He pointed at Fang Huiya and stammered, "Huiya, you...you, you, how could you do this? We've been together for so long, and you won't even let me hold your hand!"

Li Xiaofeng feigned surprise and said, "Oh, is that so? Feng Bowen, you're really pitiful. Since you're so pitiful, how about this, I'll give you a free dose of PDA right here and now!"

After saying that, Li Xiaofeng pulled Fang Huiya over, hugged her tightly, and kissed her red lips without regard for others.

In his past life, Fang Huiya was taken away by him, and Feng Bowen would often show off in front of him.

Fang Huiya initially struggled symbolically, looking extremely embarrassed, but later she let Feng Bowen do whatever he wanted.

Now that he had the chance for revenge, Li Xiaofeng had no intention of letting it go.

After a long while, Li Xiaofeng finally let go of the extremely shy Fang Huiya.

Now he can at least be certain that if he were to disregard the added benefits of material conditions and have Fang Huiya choose between him and Feng Bowen, she would definitely choose him.

Seeing Fang Huiya's expression, Feng Bowen gritted his teeth, turned around, and ran away.

Li Xiaofeng shifted his gaze from Feng Bowen's forlorn figure, smiled at Fang Huiya with satisfaction, and said in a light tone, "Perfect timing, I'm a little hungry. Let's go get something to eat, and then come with me to take care of some business!"

"what's up?"

"I bought some stocks before, and now it seems like they've risen quite a bit. If they reach my target price, I'm planning to sell them all!"

"Oh, you actually bought stocks? How dare you! What if you lose money!"

"Mind your own business. Whether I make a profit or a loss is my own problem. Don't worry, I won't shortchange you a single penny of what you're owed!"

"Oh, I see!"
