Since the eldest brother, Cao Jinpeng, started staying out all night from time to time, the four people in the dormitory have also started doing their own things.

It wasn't because the eldest, Cao Jinpeng, held a high position in the dormitory, but rather because the other members of the dormitory each had their own things to do.

Cao Jinpeng went to pursue Xia Anna, Lü Zhendong was dating Miao Peipei, Li Xiaofeng was busy with construction site matters, and as for Cheng Zhiyuan, he seemed to have become friends with Sun Wenxuan from the previous year.

Sun Wenxuan's father is the director of Shanghai TV Station, a powerful figure in the entertainment industry. Does this mean that the fourth son plans to develop his career in the entertainment industry?

"I helped you land such a huge project, how are you going to thank me!"

Although Li Xiaofeng is extremely busy right now, he doesn't forget the source of his blessings, and he still tries his best to meet Jiang Xueying's requests.

How do you want me to thank you?

Jiang Xueying thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "Why don't you come shopping with me?"

Li Xiaofeng smiled and nodded: "Sure, but I'm quite busy during the day, with classes and work on the construction site. Can I keep you company in the evening?"

"Okay!"

However, just as the two arrived at a shopping mall to buy clothes, they discovered that Cao Jinpeng was also there, arm in arm with Xia Anna.

"You... how did you get together!" Cao Jinpeng shouted angrily.

Li Xiaofeng took a deep breath and said in a calm tone, "I came to accompany Xueying shopping. Are you here shopping with Anna too?"

Cao Jinpeng rushed over, shoved Li Xiaofeng, and said angrily, "Third brother, what do you mean by this? You know about my relationship with Xueying, yet you still want to interfere. What are you trying to do!"

Li Xiaofeng suppressed his anger and did not retaliate. He said in a calm and composed tone, "Cao Jinpeng, I didn't mean anything by it. I'm just here today to accompany Xueying shopping!"

"You're kidding me! Who would believe that!"

Cao Jinpeng was about to push him again when Li Xiaofeng slapped him aside with lightning speed.

"Hey, you dare to fight back? You've gone too far!"

Li Xiaofeng sneered, "Cao Jinpeng, who do you think you are! You attacked first, why can't I fight back? Try touching me again, and I'll beat you until your face is covered in bruises!"

At first, Jiang Xueying was a little confused, but when she saw that the two were about to fight, she rushed over to try to stop them.

"What are you doing? I won't allow you to fight!"

As she spoke, she forcefully pushed Cao Jinpeng away with both hands and pulled Li Xiaofeng aside.

Seeing Jiang Xueying's attitude, Cao Jinpeng said with great dissatisfaction, "Jiang Xueying, what do you mean? Instead of helping me, you're helping him. Tell me honestly, what is your relationship with him?"

Jiang Xueying said angrily, "What relationship? We're just ordinary classmates. Besides, what right do you have to talk about me like that? Who is that woman next to you?"

At this moment, Cao Jinpeng realized that he didn't seem to be in the right, and explained somewhat awkwardly, "She's just an ordinary friend of mine. I came out shopping with her today!"

Jiang Xueying turned her head away in annoyance: "Tch, you're kidding me, who would believe that!"

The boomerang that Cao Jinpeng had just thrown hit him on the head again.

Cao Jinpeng weakly continued to explain, "Xueying, listen to me, this is different..."

Li Xiaofeng interjected casually, "It's different. When I go shopping with Xueying, I'm just accompanying her, and she pays for herself; but when you accompany someone else, you're the one swiping your card and paying for them!"

Cao Jinpeng roared angrily, "Third brother, what do you mean? Are you trying to completely meddle with us?"

Then, he turned his head and lowered his voice to Jiang Xueying, saying, "Xueying, let me explain. Anna and I are not like what he said at all!"

However, Xia Anna, standing to the side, was not to his liking. She placed a large pile of clothes on the checkout counter, crossed her arms, and stared straight at Cao Jinpeng, looking as if it were none of her business.

"These clothes total 13,888. Who would like to pay the bill?"

Xia Anna gestured towards Cao Jinpeng with her lip to the sales clerk.

"Sir, the total is 13,888. Would you like to settle the payment now?"

Cao Jinpeng glanced at Jiang Xueying somewhat awkwardly, hesitated for a moment, and finally swiped his card to pay the bill.

"Third brother, you're something else! Just you wait, I'll settle the score with you sooner or later!"

Cao Jinpeng threw down a harsh remark, then took Xia Anna's arm and strode away.

Jiang Xueying watched Cao Jinpeng's departing figure, her eyes welling up with tears. She bit her lip tightly and remained silent.

After a while, Jiang Xueying seemed to remember something, looked up and asked with a somewhat aggrieved expression, "Where did he get so much money?"

Li Xiaofeng said helplessly, "I gave it to him, I gave him 26!"

"Are you crazy? Why did you give him so much money!"

“I’ve already promised a few of my roommates that if they can help me contact construction sites and get contracts signed, I’ll give them a 5% commission. It’s one thing to have disagreements, but I can’t break my promise!”

"It's all your fault! You gave him so much money, how could he not go out and mess around!"

"If I don't give him money, will he stop going out and messing around? He's an adult now and has the right to decide his own life!"

Jiang Xueying angrily reached out to Li Xiaofeng: "I helped you too, so why won't you pay me? Besides, I was the one who actually helped you get this deal."

Li Xiaofeng smiled and said nonchalantly, "I've already prepared your money. Just like Cao Jinpeng, I'll give you 26. Give me your bank card number, and I'll transfer the money to you at the bank tomorrow."

Jiang Xueying glanced at him, then lowered her head and said irritably, "Actually, I didn't mean to ask you for money. I'm just so angry. Why does he get so much money?"

"Based on the fact that your dad personally said at your house that this bill should be split 50/50 between the two of you! I think you should just give me your bank account number; I don't like the feeling of owing people money!"

"I've already said it, I don't need the money!"

Jiang Xueying walked out with her head down. After a while, she looked up at Li Xiaofeng and said, "Can you please stop giving him money? If he doesn't have any money, he won't go looking for that woman anymore!"

Li Xiaofeng shook his head firmly: "No, if Cao Jinpeng can still introduce me to construction sites, I will still give him a commission. This is a matter of personal integrity, and it's also my livelihood."

Besides, even if we could do that, it would only be a temporary solution. His family isn't much worse off than yours; he has plenty of ways to make money, while it's far more difficult for me to do so.

Jiang Xueying said irritably, "You're too selfish, just watching him go astray. None of you men are any good!"
