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

The next morning, Li Xiaofeng was watching TV with Fang Huiya in his little apartment when there was a knock on the door.

Fang Huiya nervously said to Li Xiaofeng, "It must be your girlfriend. What should we do? Should I hide in the bathroom?"

Or maybe you shouldn't open the door. Turn off your phone and pretend you're not home. Maybe she'll leave on her own after a while!

Li Xiaofeng yawned and said in a nonchalant tone, "There's no need. We'll have to face this sooner or later. Put your clothes on first, and then I'll go open the door!"

After the two of them got dressed, Fang Huiya tidied up the bed, while Li Xiaofeng went to open the door.

After Jiang Xueying entered the room, she was about to say something when she suddenly realized that there was a woman inside, and she was immediately dumbfounded.

After a long while, she angrily pointed at Fang Huiya and asked, "Who is she? What is she doing here with you?"

Li Xiaofeng smiled and walked inside, saying in a nonchalant tone, "My friend, you've met him before, have you forgotten?"

She had a fight with her family and had nowhere to go. I couldn't let her sleep on the streets in the dead of winter, so I took her in temporarily and let her stay with me!

"You took her in?"

Jiang Xueying closed the door and walked in, questioning her with an incredulous look: "Li Xiaofeng, are you kidding me? You took her in? There's only one bed in the room. Tell me, did you two sleep together?"

Li Xiaofeng smiled faintly, shook his head and said, "Oh, we'll take turns sleeping on the floor!"

"Sleeping on the floor? Do you think I'd believe your nonsense? I never imagined that what Dapeng said before was true. You actually dared to lie to me right under my nose!"

"Jiang Xueying, what do you think I should do?"

"What do you mean, how do I do it? What do you want to do?!"

"What I mean is, you have loving parents, a brother who dotes on you, a large number of relatives who care about you, and your childhood sweetheart who accompanies you to the park to relax. What do I have?"

Should I just stay alone in this cold little room, watching soap operas alone, playing games alone, eating New Year's Eve dinner alone, and watching the Spring Festival Gala alone?

“Then you can come find me, come to my house…” Jiang Xueying said, but then seemed unable to continue.

Li Xiaofeng smiled and continued, "Of course, this is all my own business. You, Jiang Xueying, don't owe me anything, but I can't just suffer alone!"

In this life, everyone wants to find a way to live a better life, don't you think? As for Huiya and me, it's simply a matter of me needing her and her needing me, nothing more!

Jiang Xueying stood there, silent, not saying a word.

"Why don't you go back first? Thank you for remembering me, but I think if I hadn't run into you yesterday, we might not have seen each other again until after school starts, don't you think?"

"Then...you shouldn't have done this behind my back!"

“What did I do? I didn’t do anything. I just took in a neighbor I grew up with, just like you and Cao Jinpeng.”

All I wanted was to stick together with her for mutual support and get through the New Year in a passable way!

"Are you planning to continue like this with her?"

"That's definitely not the case. After school starts, Huiya will have to go to school and will definitely have to stay in the dormitory. How could she still stay here? It's so far from the school, it's inconvenient!"

At this point, Li Xiaofeng smiled and said, "Speaking of which, even though my place is so close to our school, sometimes I feel it's not as convenient as living in the dormitory. Otherwise, you wouldn't have refused to move here, right?"

Jiang Xueying remained standing there, silent, not saying a word.

Li Xiaofeng smiled and said, "Xueying, you should go back first. I reckon if you stay out too long, your family will definitely start asking you all sorts of questions again."

Did you tell your family a little lie and sneak out this time? Don't worry about me, you've seen it yourself, I can take good care of myself!

"Xiaofeng, I..." Jiang Xueying's tears seemed to be welling up in her eyes.

"Xueying, don't cry during the New Year, it's bad luck. Besides, you have a lot of people around you, you're very happy, what's there to cry about?"

Now, your relationship with Boss Cao is slowly recovering, right? Congratulations. I was just a passerby in your life, perhaps I shouldn't have existed at all.

"Xiaofeng, that's not how it is..."

"Oh, by the way, I still have your 26 yuan commission here. You can come and get it from me whenever you need it!"

"I'm not short of money!"

"But I'm short of money. Not only am I short of money, but I'm also short of many other things. Therefore, I need to make up for it. There's a saying that goes, 'If a man doesn't look out for himself, he'll be doomed.'"

The words may be rough, but the principle is sound. If a person can't even treat themselves well, how can they expect others to treat them well? Don't you think so?

Jiang Xueying bit her lip and asked with some difficulty, "Xiaofeng, are you going to break up with me?"

Whether we break up or stay together is not up to me, but up to you!

Finally, Jiang Xueying stomped her feet, wiped away her tears, and stormed off in a huff.

After she left, Fang Huiya cautiously asked from the side, "Xiaofeng, what should we do next?"

Li Xiaofeng forced a smile and said, "Let's just do what needs to be done and get through this winter break first!"

During this winter break, Jiang Xueying did not visit Li Xiaofeng again, but Liu Qianqian called Li Xiaofeng several times to ask him to come out and chat.

Most of the time, they talked about trivial things in life, such as each other's experiences. Liu Qianqian was particularly interested in Li Xiaofeng's rise to wealth.

Of course, Li Xiaofeng couldn't tell her the truth. He could only pick out the parts he could say, embellish them, and present them to her as stories, yet she still found them fascinating.

Through conversation, Li Xiaofeng learned that Liu Qianqian's family was living a little better than the average person, but she was still an ordinary family and couldn't compare to a rich and beautiful girl like Jiang Xueying.

This is understandable. Liu Qianqian's family works in a public institution, which is stable and offers good benefits, but it's impossible for them to get rich.

Public institutions like television stations allow Liu Qianqian to come into contact with a large number of high-ranking people and learn about their luxurious lifestyles. Therefore, Liu Qianqian still has a strong desire for wealth.

However, she still despised the idea of ​​a girl like Liu Qianqian, who was highly educated and well-mannered, gaining wealth by directly selling herself.

This is why she was surrounded by so many boys, including rich second-generation heirs like Cao Jinpeng, but she looked down on all of them, yet had a strong interest in Li Xiaofeng, who had started from scratch.
