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

The wheels of time slowly rolled toward the year 2000. A new year began, and Li Xiaofeng's new life officially began as well.

After receiving the new car and completing all the formalities, Fang Huiya excitedly asked Li Xiaofeng to take her for a drive. Li Xiaofeng, who also wanted to practice his driving skills, readily agreed to her request.

A girl once said that she would rather cry in a BMW than laugh on a bicycle.

It sounds like this girl is very materialistic, vain, and has very warped values.

You can cry in a BMW and laugh on a bicycle; it's just a scene frozen in time by human hands.

If a normal human being could keep laughing, even while riding a bicycle, everyone would choose the bicycle.

In real life, the girl in the BMW wouldn't cry forever. After getting out of the BMW, she's likely to be well-off and have fewer worries.

The girl on the back of the bicycle can't keep smiling all the time. After getting off the bicycle, she will most likely be tormented by the daily grind of life, and even the smallest trivial matters can cause a fierce argument.

University will be starting soon.

"Xiaofeng, school is about to start, could you take me to school, preferably to our dormitory?" Fang Huiya bit her lip, feeling a little embarrassed.

Li Xiaofeng knew that she wanted to show off in front of her classmates; everyone has vanity, it's human nature.

In this day and age, owning a car is already a great achievement, let alone a brand new BMW.

"Okay, no problem. As long as you don't cause trouble and don't interfere with my life, you can say you're my girlfriend to others. I'll definitely give you face!"

"Really, that's wonderful, Xiaofeng, I love you so much!"

Just as they left the alley where their hometown was located, the two ran into Feng Bowen. They didn't know if he was waiting there on purpose or if it was just a coincidence.

At this moment, Feng Bowen was dressed sloppily and looked listless, but his eyes immediately turned red when he saw Li Xiaofeng.

He picked up a large rock from the ground and rushed to Li Xiaofeng's car, seemingly intending to smash it.

Fang Huiya screamed and stopped her: "Feng Bowen, what are you trying to do? Don't do anything reckless!"

Li Xiaofeng remained calm, smiled, and said in a nonchalant tone, "It's alright, let him smash it. Feng Bowen, smash it if you want, there are surveillance cameras here anyway."

"Furthermore, Huiya can testify for me. I also have a dashcam in my car. Last time, your family sold your car after the accident. If they smash my car this time, they'll probably have to sell their house!"

"Li Xiaofeng, you bastard, if it weren't for you last time, I wouldn't have had a car accident."

"Feng Bowen, you're really funny. You're the one who gave us a ride, and you're the one driving, but you got into a car accident yourself, and now you're blaming me?"

"If you hadn't distracted me, how could I have gotten into a car accident?"

“Feng Bowen, you are the driver, the steering wheel is in your hands, the brakes are under your feet. You can ignore what I say, and besides, it's your car, you can ask me not to speak.”

You only kept talking because you wanted to hear me talk and loved to hear me talk. You were distracted and kept looking at the rearview mirror because you wanted to see me kiss Huiya, right?

"And I've reminded you so many times to be careful, watch your step, and be safe, but you just wouldn't listen. Who can you blame for that?"

After hearing Li Xiaofeng's words, Feng Bowen was speechless.

Li Xiaofeng smiled and continued, "Also, you idiot, those people last time were obviously trying to scam you. The best thing you could have done was to call the police and let them help you deal with this mess."

Their car wasn't a proper vehicle at all; it was probably either in a major accident or flooded, so it wasn't worth much. Plus, there were no security cameras there, so assigning responsibility would be a long story!

We'll be your witnesses. The responsibility is roughly split 50/50, maybe 40/60 at most. The mandatory traffic accident insurance might be enough. But you foolishly insisted on settling privately. Who can you blame?

Upon hearing Li Xiaofeng's words, Feng Bowen was shocked, and then angrily questioned loudly, "Since you knew they were faking an accident, why didn't you tell me?"

"Feng Bowen, you need to get this straight, what is our relationship?"

"You want to settle things privately with them yourself, why should I offend those thugs for your sake?"

What good would it do me to do that?

"What if those thugs try to get back at me?"

"I have Huiya with me. What if those thugs do something to harm Huiya?"

"......"

A barrage of questions left Feng Bowen speechless. After muttering something for a long time, he finally came up with an answer.

“How can it not be related? You grew up in my dad’s factory. Your adoptive father worked in my dad’s factory. Without my dad, you would have starved to death long ago!”

"Oh my, your Feng family is really shameless. Hongxing Bicycle Factory is a state-owned enterprise, and your father is just the factory director. You really think the factory is your family's property."

Even if we assume the factory belongs to your family, so what?

It's only right to get paid after doing the work. But the way you put it, giving my adoptive father his wages as if it were a favor from your family, shows how shameless your Feng family is.

"Also, I heard from my adoptive father that I suffered a lot of bullying from your Feng family back then. If he finds out I helped you, he might come and whip me with his belt again!"

"Xiaofeng, no matter what, we grew up together. Calling each other friends isn't too much of a stretch. We see each other all the time..."

"Don't give me that crap. Since you know we'll be seeing each other all the time, why did you try to steal Huiya from me? You still have the nerve to call me a friend? Don't you have any sense of propriety about the saying 'one shouldn't covet a friend's wife'?"

Feng Bowen was speechless for a moment, but he still held the stone in his hand and refused to put it down.

Li Xiaofeng smiled and asked, "You cowardly bully, do you want to smash it or not? If you do, hurry up, I don't have time to talk nonsense with you, I still have to take Huiya to school!"

Feng Bowen seemed to collapse completely, and the stone in his hand slipped and fell to the ground, hitting his foot. He was in so much pain that he hopped around clutching his foot.

"Heh, this is what they call shooting yourself in the foot. Serves you right!"

Li Xiaofeng stepped on the gas and sped away.

When they arrived at Fang Huiya's school, the security guard at the gate saw Li Xiaofeng's car and, without asking any questions, simply raised the barrier to let Li Xiaofeng in. Li Xiaofeng didn't stand on ceremony and drove straight to Fang Huiya's dormitory building.

Amidst envy, jealousy, and surprise, Fang Huiya got off the car with a happy expression, hugged Li Xiaofeng and gave him a kiss, before triumphantly returning to her dormitory.

With Fang Huiya's intelligence and tact, she will surely be able to make full use of the boost that Li Xiaofeng brings her.

Next, it was Li Xiaofeng's time to show off.
