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

Days passed by, time flew by, and soon the winter break of my sophomore year arrived, and 2001 was just around the corner.

Before the holiday, Li Xiaofeng asked Jiang Xueying, "Xueying, do you need me to visit your home for the New Year?"

Jiang Xueying hesitated for a long time, then lowered her head and whispered, "You'd better not go. You don't know any of my relatives, and they don't know you. It would be awkward if you met them!"

Li Xiaofeng smiled and nodded: "Okay!"

"Xiaofeng, I didn't mean anything by it, don't take it to heart!"

"I'm not worried, I'm just concerned that your relatives might pressure you to find a boyfriend or even get married, which would embarrass you. If needed, I can go and take the blame for you!"

Jiang Xueying smiled and shook her head: "No need, I'm still young, I haven't graduated from university yet, I can have fun for a few more years! But if I have time, I can ask you out shopping!"

"Then give me a call beforehand! I might not be available to go shopping with you normally, so if you call at the last minute, I might not be available!"

Jiang Xueying's eyes widened, and she asked in confusion, "What are you busy with this winter break?"

"You forgot, I'm homeless and jobless now. I have to find a way to support myself. I'm not doing the paint business anymore, so I have to find another business to do."

"Didn't you make a lot of money selling paint?"

"It's not much money in total, and besides, we can't just sit around and do nothing!"

Jiang Xueying said apologetically, "Xiaofeng, it's not that I don't want to help you. It's fine with others, but Dapeng got involved. My family's business will definitely be handled by Dapeng. Even if I go and say something, it won't make a difference!"

Li Xiaofeng smiled and kissed her on the cheek: "You don't owe me anything, why are you apologizing to me? Besides, there are countless businesses in the world. As long as you do them well, you can make money. There's no need to put all your eggs in one basket, right?"

"Oh, by the way, weren't you in the real estate speculation business? How's it going, making money?"

"Anyway, that's how it is. Housing prices haven't risen much, they're just stagnant, and I'm still putting my money into it!"

"If all else fails, just sell the house you have. If speculating on real estate were really profitable, my family would have done it long ago. It would be much easier for them than for you!"

"I know, alright, women shouldn't meddle in men's affairs. Just go home and enjoy your winter vacation."

"Look, isn't that your brother Jiang Chengye? Your family has come to pick you up. Come on, I'll take you there!"

"OK then!"

After the Jiang family's car drove away, Li Xiaofeng drove his BMW to the film school to pick up Fang Huiya.

Men, be nicer to yourself.

Since my relationship with Jiang Xueying is destined to end after graduation, there's no need to dwell on it too much.

It’s time to eat, drink and have fun!

It's not that Jiang Xueying can't afford to support her, it's that Fang Huiya is more cost-effective.

They don't take you seriously, so there's no need for you to be sentimental. It's actually quite good that everyone gets what they need.

When Li Xiaofeng's car drove into Fang Huiya's school and arrived at her dormitory building, Fang Huiya had already packed her luggage and was waiting downstairs.

However, standing next to her was a boy with braids, of average appearance, wearing glasses, who seemed to have the air of a wandering artist.

"Huiya, as you know, my dad is a famous director in Shanghai. If you're willing to be with me, I'll definitely make you a star in the future."

I'm studying directing, and you're studying acting. Once we both graduate, we'll be a perfect match. Wouldn't it be great if we entered the entertainment industry together?"

"No need, I have a boyfriend. Look, my boyfriend is here to pick me up!" Fang Huiya said as she pulled her suitcase toward the trunk.

The art student rushed over to help Fang Huiya put her luggage inside, and complained to her, "Huiya, look at what kind of person your boyfriend is! He didn't even get off the bus to help you!"

"It's just a small suitcase, you don't need to fawn over me. Okay, stop following me, I don't want my boyfriend to misunderstand!" Fang Huiya shouted at him unhappily as she opened the passenger door.

Li Xiaofeng, sitting in the car, smiled and said to her, "Your suitor?"

"He's just an annoying fly. He always wears a braid and pretends to be melancholy, making empty promises to the girls in the class. Several girls have already fallen for his tricks!"

"Didn't he say his dad was a famous director?"

"His dad is indeed a fairly famous director in Shanghai, but his dad is his dad, and he is him. His dad is too busy taking care of his own connections to bother with his trivial matters!"

He's just using his father's name to swindle and cheat women, the kind who does it for free. He's completely terrible at his studies; he's bound to be a spendthrift!

What did he study?

"Studied directing!"

Li Xiaofeng smiled and nodded, then started the car and drove away without saying a word.

On the way back, Fang Huiya kept glancing at Li Xiaofeng, looking like she wanted to say something but hesitated.

"If you want to say something, just say it openly. There's no need for us to hide anything from each other."

"What I meant was, I'll be staying with you this winter break. I hope that won't bother you, in case she suddenly walks in one of these days..."

Fang Huiya did not continue speaking.

Li Xiaofeng smiled and said nonchalantly, "I already told her that I'm very busy this winter break, so if she wants to come see me, she should call me in advance."

It's fine if she just barges in; the three of us can just play together. I don't care!

Fang Huiya covered her mouth and chuckled, asking in a curious tone, "Is she really that easy to talk to? Didn't you say she's the school beauty and that her family is in real estate?"

Li Xiaofeng smiled nonchalantly: "My temporary girlfriend whom I broke up with after graduation, I was with her because we both got what we needed. At worst, we could just break up early!"

Anyway, I have you by my side. You're obedient, well-behaved, and very considerate. In these aspects, you're much better than her. I don't need her to be my only companion!

Fang Huiya seemed to suddenly remember something, rummaged through her bag, took out a card, and handed it to Li Xiaofeng.

"Your membership card cost you a few times with Miao Peipei and a few times with some female classmates. In total, it cost you about five thousand yuan. Here you go!"

Li Xiaofeng smiled and said, "Take the flowers for now. As long as you don't spend them recklessly, or use them for socializing with classmates or anything like that, I don't mind. I don't need them for the time being."

"When I need it, I'll have you pay the bill. Let others envy how well I, Li Xiaofeng, enjoy being a kept man!"

Fang Huiya covered her mouth and chuckled, saying with a grin, "That's great! Then I'll tell people from now on that I'm the one supporting you!"
