Chapter 243: It's still my fault
There was a heated debate in Shao Feng and Xiao Peng's family about whether or not to tell this matter.
Generally speaking, the family was divided into two factions: the men said that this matter must be told to Shao Feng, and that such things should not be lied to friends. However, the women had the opposite opinion, meaning that Shao Feng must not be told at all. After all, everyone has a past, and one should not dwell on things that happened in the past.
Xiao Peng made a hypothesis: if someone found out that Bruch was sleeping with another woman, would he tell Deborah about it? As a result, the answer to this question was directly reversed. The woman became determined to tell Deborah, while the man said he would keep it a secret for Bruch.
Well, men and women will never agree on such things.
"Boss! You are a man and you know what to choose!" said Bruch.
Deborah frowned. "What? Are you bringing up your 'bro code' again?"
"The other way around is also possible!" Bruch retorted, "Don't you have a 'sister code'?"
In Western countries, there's a term called the "bro rule," which means when one man makes a mistake, another man covers up for him. Of course, this is also common in China, but there's no such term.
Who hasn't had a few friends to cover for? Who hasn't covered for someone?
Although the term is called the "bro rule," it actually happens to both men and women. A few years ago, there was a skit on the Spring Festival Gala called "A Matter of One Word" that addressed this very situation.
However, men and women are treated with double standards when it comes to gender differences. Even if it is both "covering up", men who help to cover up will soon be "understood" and at most be scolded as "scum" by women. However, the result of women helping to "cover up" is often not good, as can be seen from the female star named Ma who helped to "do hair".
But no matter what, men supporting men and women supporting women has become a global trend, and this is the same in all countries around the world.
Xiao Peng was scratching his head. What the hell was going on? This was truly a case of "each man has his own reasons," and what should he do?
Just when he was at his wit's end, his cell phone suddenly rang. He looked at the number and wondered, "Huh? Isn't this Miao Pei's number?"
He blinked. Miao Pei had blocked him, so why did she suddenly call him again?
As soon as Xiao Peng picked up the phone, Miao Pei's angry voice came from the other end of the phone: "Xiao Peng! Why don't you do your job?"
"What's wrong with me?" Xiao Peng was confused.
Miao Pei roared, "What's wrong with you? Did you say something to Shao Feng?"
Xiao Peng was even more confused now. "What the hell am I talking about! I didn't even contact him. How can I say this? I told him, 'Shao Feng, I'm sorry, I slept with your fiancée'? Do I even want to be his friend anymore? Miao Pei, let's talk about what's going on. Don't accuse me, okay? Didn't we agree to keep this a secret?"
He was not stupid. He understood that Miao Pei called him because there was some problem between her and Shao Feng. The best thing to do at this time was to get himself out of it quickly!
Sure enough, Miao Pei was silent for a while and then asked, "You didn't say anything?"
"Of course! I swear to God!" Xiao Peng asked, "What exactly happened?"
Miao Pei took a deep breath and said, "Shao Feng just called me and broke up with me. He blocked my number and my social media accounts!"
Xiao Peng was stunned after hearing this: "What did you do to make him do this?"
Miao Pei said angrily: "How should I know! I didn't do anything! He suddenly called me and it turned out like this!"
Xiao Peng blinked. "Then I think you should go find him, right? I don't know why you've become like this, but one thing I can be sure of is this: it has absolutely nothing to do with me!"
"It's really not you?" Miao Pei asked in confusion.
Xiao Peng nodded: "It's definitely not me! I tried so hard to find you just to make sure you don't let Shao Feng know about this. How could I possibly tell him about this?"
Xiao Peng looked innocent, completely different from the man who was just now discussing whether or not to tell Shao Feng about this.
Miao Pei frowned and said, "But why else could it be you?"
Xiao Peng said helplessly, "I really don't know! You should go find Shao Feng! When I returned to China some time ago, Shao Feng said that your two families would meet in a few days. How did it become like this?"
Miao Pei said: "I left him and went home to discuss this matter with my parents. How could it turn out like this?"
Xiao Peng shook his head fiercely. "I really don't know. How about I contact Shao Feng and ask him? But I don't dare to ask directly. It will only make things worse, you know? It's best for you to discuss this matter with him yourself!"
Miao Pei took a deep breath after hearing this: "Okay, I'll go find him now!"
After Xiao Peng hung up the phone, Xiao Peng took a deep breath.
Well, now I don’t have to worry about whether to tell Shao Feng or not, the two have already broken up!
After knowing this, Clementine and Deborah cursed Shao Feng as a scumbag. Xiao Peng became even more curious. Before this, Shao Feng said that they were going to get married. What is going on now?
He couldn't contain his curiosity and was still debating whether to call Shao Feng, but Shao Feng took the initiative to call him. He said that he had received the wine and watch that Xiao Peng had bought for him, and he called Xiao Peng to express his gratitude. And without Xiao Peng asking, he took the initiative to tell Xiao Peng that he and Miao Pei had broken up.
After knowing the whole story, Xiao Peng felt helpless, as this matter was still related to him.
When he was arguing with Tian Hao at Lao Wu's banquet, he mentioned the issue of "personal credit". The speaker was unintentional, but the listener took it seriously. Shao Feng took the matter to heart and checked Miao Pei's personal credit.
It doesn’t matter if you don’t check the results, but you’ll be shocked when you do.
Just a few days ago, Miao Pei was listed on the "dishonesty list." A closer look revealed she had over a dozen credit cards maxed out! The highest one had a balance of 300,000 yuan! As for other credit cards, they were all maxed out. Even the mortgaged home couldn't pay off, leaving her with a mountain of foreign debt.
To Shao Feng, the money wasn't a big deal, and it wasn't like he couldn't pay it back. But he felt a pang of unease: What do you mean by this? Are you looking for a husband or a sucker? Although debts incurred before marriage aren't considered joint marital debts, how could he not help her pay off her debts after marrying her?
Marriage is a sign of poor judgment, divorce is a sign of poor patience, and remarriage is a sign of poor memory. Now that Miao Pei has kept such a serious matter from him, what will happen in the future? Is she really using herself as a means to escape poverty? So Shao Feng made what he believed to be the best decision: to break up with Miao Pei.
Well, this matter has nothing to do with me now. I should get ready to go out to sea. The Strait of Gibraltar is waving to me!
