Chen Feng was drenched in sweat after his morning run, but the endorphins released during the exercise made him feel comfortable all over.
Forty minutes later, Chen Feng returned to Chenxi Residence.
Originally, he didn't take Gao Mei seriously; she was just a stranger he met on the street. Even if Li Xiaogang's "saintly heart" was overflowing, he would at most send her back to school, and they wouldn't have any further contact.
But when the door to room 113 opened, Chen Feng realized he was terribly wrong.
Gao Mei was sitting on the sofa in room 113, watching TV and eating steaming hot buns.
On the coffee table in front of her were several greasy, empty bags.
"Old Chen, Senior Gao Mei sprained her ankle and has difficulty moving around. It's quite far from the school, so I brought her back to rest for a while."
Seemingly noticing Chen Feng's surprise, Li Xiaogang spoke up.
"oh."
Chen Feng stretched out a hand, showing no intention of coming inside. "Where's breakfast?"
Here it is.
Li Xiaogang handed Chen Feng three meat buns and a cup of soy milk.
"Um?"
Chen Feng frowned.
This wasn't the first time Li Xiaogang had been in charge of buying breakfast; previously, he would always prepare two portions for Chen Feng.
One copy was for Chen Feng, and the other was for Li Wanwan.
But today, there's only one serving.
"What about Li Wanwan's?"
Chen Feng asked a question.
"Um...this..."
Li Xiaogang glanced at Gao Mei subconsciously.
Chen Feng immediately understood.
Li Xiaogang only took the money for three breakfasts with him when he left home. Apart from the one he was holding, Gao Mei must have eaten the rest.
As a result, not only did Li Wanwan have to go hungry, but even Li Xiaogang was forced to "lose weight".
"Old Li, a man's word is his bond."
Chen Feng said coldly, "Either you don't mention buying breakfast, or I can buy it myself."
"Either you keep your word and don't let anyone go hungry."
Li Xiaogang pursed his lips. "Old Chen, I'm sorry. Please wait for me a moment, I'll buy another breakfast right away."
"No."
Chen Feng handed the breakfast to Li Xiaogang, saying, "I'm not some beggar who has to go to other people's houses for food."
After saying that, Chen Feng slammed the door shut and left.
Gao Mei's face turned somewhat pale. She wasn't stupid; she naturally understood that Chen Feng's comment about "a beggar begging in other people's homes" referred to her.
After seeing that Li Xiaogang had bought three breakfasts, Gao Mei guessed that one of them was for Chen Feng.
In fact, Gao Mei doesn't eat much. The reason she forced herself to eat enough food for two people was to leave Chen Feng with nothing to eat, as a way of retaliating against his cold attitude.
But Gao Mei didn't expect Li Xiaogang to be so foolish as to leave a breakfast for Chen Feng even if it meant going without himself.
"It seems that my previous assessment of your classmate was not comprehensive."
Gao Mei said, "He's not only aloof, but he also has a terrible temper."
Li Xiaogang licked his lips awkwardly. "Senior, please sit wherever you like. I'll go check on Old Chen."
"I sense that you are somewhat afraid of him."
Gao Mei said calmly, "I think it's important to treat each other as equals. After all, we're all classmates, and no one is inferior to anyone else."
Li Xiaogang turned his head and said earnestly, "Old Chen and I are not just ordinary classmates; he is my best brother in this life."
"I see."
Gao Mei smiled kindly, "Okay, then you should go quickly."
Chen Feng seemed to have anticipated that Li Xiaogang would come looking for him, so he deliberately left the door unlocked. When Li Xiaogang came in, he was sitting in the living room smoking.
"Old Chen, can't you give me some face in front of outsiders?"
Li Xiaogang snatched the cigarette from Chen Feng's hand and said in a dissatisfied tone.
Chen Feng lit another cigarette for himself. "What? You like that Gao Mei?"
No, not exactly.
Li Xiaogang shook his head. "I just feel that you don't respect me much in front of girls."
"She's just a random stranger you met by chance, someone you have absolutely no connection with, and you'll probably never have any contact with her again."
Chen Feng pointed in the direction of 214, "But that rich girl is the apple of my eye. You're starving her for some green tea bitch, can't I even lash out?"
"Old Chen, I admit I was wrong, but Gao Mei is not a green tea bitch."
Li Xiaogang explained on Gao Mei's behalf: "After I bought breakfast, I found that Gao Mei was still at the entrance of the community, so I brought her back to room 113. She had no idea that two of the three breakfasts were for you and Li Wanwan. She was also very hungry, so she accidentally ate too much."
"hehe."
Chen Feng was so angry he laughed.
Li Xiaogang told her in front of her that he would buy her breakfast, but then he told her that Gao Mei didn't know that there were two breakfasts for her and the little rich woman, and that she "accidentally ate too much".
Chen Feng was too lazy to point out Gao Mei's little scheme.
The world is already so corrupt and chaotic; if conditions permit, he hopes that Li Xiaogang can keep a pure place in his heart.
"Old Chen, I'll treat you to dinner tonight as an apology. Please don't be angry."
We'll see.
Chen Feng waved his hand, he couldn't possibly hold a grudge against his good brother, "You go back first, 113 is where we work, don't bring Gao Mei here again."
"OK."
Li Xiaogang turned and left.
Chen Feng took a shower and then drove Li Wanwan to the school cafeteria.
Finance Class 1 has no classes today, but Chen Feng needs to be busy with work. To keep Li Wanwan from getting bored, Chen Feng decided to send the little rich girl back to her dormitory so that she can spend the day with her roommates.
The two had just stepped out of the cafeteria after their meal when they saw two familiar figures.
It was Chen Siqi and Chen Haoran, whom I hadn't seen for a long time.
Behind the Chen siblings were two muscular men, clearly professional bodyguards.
What are they doing here?
Li Wanwan muttered something unconsciously.
"What else can we do?"
Chen Feng curled his lip, "They're definitely here to cause me trouble."
Chen Feng was right.
During this period, the Chen family's situation took a turn for the better.
Chen Liqiang's supermarket already had a cash flow problem, and with the addition of high compensation payments every month, Liqiang Supermarket was teetering on the brink of bankruptcy.
But at this moment, an investor approached Chen Liqiang, signed a performance-based agreement with him, and injected three million yuan into the company.
This not only solved Chen Liqiang's immediate problem, but also gave Chen Siqi and Chen Haoran much-needed pocket money.
Alcohol emboldens the timid, and money emboldens the wicked.
With money in hand, the siblings hit it off and decided to teach Chen Feng a lesson to avenge the beating he had inflicted on them.
However, they are just bad, not stupid.
As it turns out, Chen Feng is no longer the timid lapdog he once was. If you anger Chen Feng, he will definitely resort to fists and kicks, or even knives.
Therefore, the siblings hired two bodyguards to ensure that today's revenge trip would go smoothly.
