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

Hearing Li Xiaofeng say that, Cao Jinpeng's anger seemed to intensify. He rushed forward to grab Li Xiaofeng's neck, but Li Xiaofeng quickly dodged and said with a grin, "What did I do to offend you this time? Didn't you say you weren't interested in Xueying?"

Cao Jinpeng said angrily, "It's not that I have no interest at all, it's just that I'm not that interested. A girl like Xueying is the most suitable to be a wife."

Actually, I really did think about making Xueying my wife in the future, but what I didn't expect was that you would act so quickly.

Xueying is not a materialistic girl. She has been pampered since childhood and has seen it all. I think that apart from me, she shouldn't be easy to win over.

But I never expected that you would win her over so quickly. I bet you two were already together before that day!

"Tell me honestly, when did you manage to win Xueying's heart?"

Li Xiaofeng thought for a moment, then smiled honestly and said, "Boss, to be honest, I had already won her over before the winter break of my sophomore year."

Actually, when you were smugly telling me how you pursued her, I was often with her. Many times, when you called Xueying, I was right there listening!

Well, the three of us won't hold anyone back!

"You bastard, you've really ruined all the good cabbages!" Cao Jinpeng was furious.

After thinking for a moment, he said angrily, "What's even more infuriating is that you bastard, not only did you steal Xueying away from me, but you also took Qianqian in later, didn't you?"

What's your zodiac sign? Are you a teddy bear? You want every single one you see! Is it true that no female can escape your grasp?

Li Xiaofeng immediately put on a serious expression and hurriedly explained, "Boss, you've misunderstood me. I had no choice."

"Qianqian is, after all, my employee. Those two scumbags, the Wei father and son, wanted to harm Qianqian. Do you think I could just stand by and watch and do nothing?"

"Then what kind of bullshit did you come up with? You already have Xueying, so why did you have to bring Qianqian into your arms? It's like Liu Qianqian just escaped one tiger's den and jumped into another wolf's den!"

"Damn it, I almost forgot, besides Xueying, you also have Fang Huiya and Miao Peipei. I really don't understand you anymore, who are you planning to marry?"

"Boss, a person must have a broad perspective. Isn't it better to have both? Why walk into the grave of marriage?"

"Isn't this considered indecent behavior?"

"Calculate!"

"You're really making this sound so self-righteous! Now I finally understand why people say that shamelessness is invincible!" Cao Jinpeng seemed to be amused by Li Xiaofeng's words.

Li Xiaofeng chuckled and said, "We two are the bosses, let alone the third. As far as I know, ever since you left school, you've really let loose."

Confess honestly, by now you've slept with at least fifty, if not a hundred, women. Didn't you even choose them? And you even got a sexually transmitted disease—serves you right!

No matter what, I'm picky. At least the woman has to be clean. Not just any woman can catch my eye. If you ask me, you're the one who's a teddy bear, always arguing with everyone and everything!

Be careful. If you mess it up, it might break down, which is a minor issue compared to losing your life!

After hearing Li Xiaofeng's words, Cao Jinpeng sneered and said, "That idiot, the second brother, told you, didn't he?"

"It doesn't matter who said it, the key is that you've made too much of a fuss. Do you think the Jiang family isn't paying attention to what you're doing? Think about it, even Xueying knows you have venereal disease. Who are you going to blame for this?"

"I'm not blaming anyone for revealing my secrets. Since I did it, I'll bear the consequences myself. What angers me is that I treated Lao Er as a brother, but he turned around and betrayed me to others!"

"This doesn't really count as betrayal; it's just something to talk about over tea!"

"Then he's even more hateful!"

Li Xiaofeng smiled and said in an annoyed tone, "There's a saying that goes, 'The friendship between gentlemen is as bland as water, while the friendship between petty people is as sweet as wine.' If people get too close to each other, it's inevitable that some rifts will arise."

For two people to have a lasting relationship, they should keep things calm and not get too close. See, am I a perfect example? I eagerly came to them for funding, only to be treated like dirt!

Then, he said somewhat self-deprecatingly, "Actually, it's not their fault. After all, they are still college students and don't understand venture capital, financing, or anything like that."

When I went to them and brought up the money, they naturally assumed I was asking to borrow money from them. But once I thought about it, it was fine.

Later, you heard what the second brother said, right? From now on, we're all friends. I think that's absolutely right. Friends are better; they'll definitely last longer than brothers!

Cao Jinpeng lit a cigarette, exhaled a smoke ring comfortably, and said with a somewhat sad tone, "You make it sound so easy. I've known Lao Er since we were little. He was honest when we were young and was often bullied. I was always the one who stood up for him."

Now that he's grown up and has become independent, he doesn't treat me like a brother anymore over such a trivial matter, and even teamed up with outsiders to mock me.

Tell me, if you were in this situation, how would you feel?

Li Xiaofeng smiled and said in a nonchalant tone, "This is nothing. If you like a girl, you should treat her well and save the best things for her."

For her, you gave up your studies and worked on construction sites to earn money to pay her tuition. But after she graduated, the first thing she did was to cut off her beloved and marry a rich man.

"Then tell me, if you were in this situation, how would you feel?"

Cao Jinpeng looked at him with some doubt and asked curiously, "Who is this person? Is he your friend? You have such a tragic friend? When did this happen?"

Li Xiaofeng smiled and said in a light tone, "It was a friend of mine. However, it happened a long time ago. I had almost forgotten about it. It feels like it was something from a past life!"

Then, he patted Cao Jinpeng on the shoulder and said earnestly, "In this world, unfortunate things happen every day, and there are many things even more unfortunate than these!"

We should always look forward and not be too hard on ourselves. Just like you and me right now, we shouldn't be at odds with money, right?

"That's true!"

"By the way, Xueying is coming back tomorrow, so don't go to the Jiang family. Anyway, there's no chance between you and Xueying anymore. Wouldn't that be awkward? Don't come over and be a third wheel, disturbing my time with Xueying!"

"Li Xiaofeng, you son of a bitch!" Cao Jinpeng angrily spat out the cigarette from his mouth.
