After my divorce, I started to have good luck-Chapter 843 - 453: Love Costs Money

This is really quite a coincidence!

Chen Feng didn't originally think they would know each other, but now that they do, he doesn't find it inappropriate at all. On the contrary, he feels it's an even better way to "dissuade" Yu Xiaohui.

After all, compared to the current domineering female CEO Guo Mengyao, Yu Xiaohui is lacking in many aspects.

"What's your current relationship with Guo Mengyao... Are you two dating?"

Previously, Lou Xiaojiao thought that Chen Feng and that female classmate already had something going on, but now she's a bit doubtful. After all, Guo Mengyao is really outstanding. Someone like her, who has always held herself in high esteem, feels a bit inferior in front of a successful entrepreneurial female CEO like Guo Mengyao.

Although Chen Feng seems fairly exceptional, she still feels he's a bit unworthy of Guo Mengyao.

"Kind of. I've already met her parents, her mom is quite pleased with me. More importantly, she's very satisfied with me and even wants to marry me; I've been troubled by this these days."

By the end of his words, Chen Feng sighed, looking a bit troubled. In fact, he is indeed a bit bothered by it. Being too outstanding, several prospective mothers-in-law have set their sights on him; there's no escape.

Lou Xiaojiao and Yu Xiaohui both fell silent upon hearing his words.

It was Xie Xiaohua who smiled and said, "Well done, Chen Feng, according to what Ah Jiao just said, your high school female classmate is quite formidable—she's the owner of a cosmetics company, she must be really wealthy. Amazing, how come I don't have such good luck? Since she wants to marry you, why not just go with it? After all, you won't be losing out."

Chen Feng casually took the phone from Yu Xiaohui's hand and shook his head helplessly, "I just got divorced last year, and I temporarily don't have the courage to get married again. Besides, I'm used to living in Xiu Zhou now, and she has to be in Lin Nan to manage her company and life. Living apart, I'm worried this relationship won't last long."

Xie Xiaohua let out a chuckle, "Look at what you're saying, can't you come back to Lin Nan to live with us?"

Chen Feng laughed, "You see, that's exactly the problem. I've gotten used to living in Xiu Zhou, and I have my own business and social circle there that I'm not ready to give up for her yet. Maybe I don't love her enough at the moment. Let's just keep dating and see how it goes."

Lou Xiaojiao couldn't help but say, "Isn't that bad? If you don't love her enough, don't get entangled with her."

Chen Feng chuckled bitterly, "The problem now is she's entangled with me, not the other way around. If I break up with her, she might come at me with a knife. Alas, if I'd known this, I wouldn't have gotten involved with her in the first place. But often, it's like that—two lonely people, under specific circumstances, end up doing things they shouldn't. If it were just mutual comfort and warming each other up without entanglement afterwards, it would be fine. Unfortunately, often the first time leads to a second time, and more, and in the end, you get deeper and deeper, unable to extricate yourself."

Chen Feng's words carried an implication, which Yu Xiaohui surely could understand. They almost had a relationship themselves, but in the end, they didn't, and in Chen Feng's view, it's better not to let it happen. Let's just remain as old classmates.

"Haha, you read a lot, you talk in such a grand way, I didn't quite get it."

Lou Xiaojiao commented with a half-hearted smile, then said, "Did you and Guo Mengyao date back in high school? Otherwise, with her current achievements, why would she be interested in you? Don't blame me for being harsh, I know you have some money now, but her business is worth billions, Mengyao Cosmetics is valued at over a billion now and sells well across the country. Just take my current agency in Xiu Zhou, in just over two months, total sales surpassed ten million. Some best-selling products sold out completely."

Xie Xiaohua was astonished, "Is this person really that formidable? A billion? Did she create it by herself?"

Lou Xiaojiao said, "Yes, it's a unique brand she established, her name is Guo Mengyao, the cosmetics are called Mengyao, isn't that obvious? Her most daring move was relocating the company from Shen City to Lin Nan, and even directly acquiring a local cosmetics factory, producing and selling on her own. Not everyone has that kind of foresight and courage."

"That's truly impressive!" Xie Xiaohua praised.

In Lou Xiaojiao's view, Chen Feng's total assets are at most twenty to thirty million, which is a lot compared to regular folks, but much of that is due to the villa in Xiu Zhou, which still pales in comparison to Guo Mengyao, with her assets worth more than a billion.

"In middle school and high school, I was focused on studying like a bookworm and didn't date at all. But she had a crush on me in high school, she told me so herself a few months ago, so I believe it."

Chen Feng's words had a hint of humble bragging, but it was the truth.

Lou Xiaojiao didn't doubt it much; after all, there was a clear example. Yu Xiaohui also had a crush on Chen Feng, her desk mate, back in middle school; she admitted it to Lou Xiaojiao herself.

Young Chen Feng was indeed handsome and had good grades, so it was quite normal for little girls in the class to have a crush on him.

"That explains it. Otherwise, someone that rich and pretty, with plenty of young and better men to choose from, chose you." Lou Xiaojiao said with some emotion, also having been through similar experiences.

Back when she was a naive young girl, she fell for her classmate Zhang Ming and began an early romance. Though it ended without result due to graduation and family issues, they later reunited, reigniting the flame, resulting in an unproductive affair.

Young love is the hardest to forget.

Having personally experienced it, Lou Xiaojiao understood why Guo Mengyao would be interested in Chen Feng.

Chen Feng didn't take her words to heart; instead, he nodded with a smile and said, "You're right. She indeed can choose younger and better ones, but she's just stubbornly set her sights on me, putting a lot of pressure on me these days."

"You're ungrateful for the blessings you have," Xie Xiaohua said enviously, "A rich and beautiful woman like that, and a high school classmate at that, knowing each other well, what is there to resist? If it were me, I'd have agreed long ago. It's a win-win situation for love and wealth!"

Chen Feng smiled and shook his head, "What you said is too vulgar! I'm not exactly short on money now, with her, it's mainly about the relationship, not the money."

"You and your refined tastes," Lou Xiaojiao retorted, then said, "We're all at an age where we should have accepted this vulgar world; do you still believe in pure feelings? Haven't you heard, 'talking about feelings hurts money, talking about money hurts feelings'? Only by talking about both feelings and money can a relationship last long. Because often, feelings come with a price tag."

Chen Feng quipped after hearing this, "Looks like you have a deep understanding, Ah Jiao."

From Lou Xiaojiao's words, Chen Feng clearly guessed that back then, her relationship with Zhang Ming was both about feelings and money.
