After my divorce, I started to have good luck-Chapter 848 - 455: Money Is a Man’s Courage (Part 2)

Tian Xiaoman's cutting remarks left Lou Xiaojiao speechless, while Chen Feng, Yu Xiaohui, and Xie Xiaohua were all taken aback. Tian Xiaoman's words shocked them.

It seemed that Lou Xiaojiao's agitation might really stem from this reason. Lou Xiaojiao was being way too emotional and involved in the entanglement between Chen Feng and Yu Xiaohui.

Previously, they were too caught up to realize that Lou Xiaojiao might also be in love with Chen Feng. But now, with this outsider's reminder from Tian Xiaoman, while it may not have been a revelation, they couldn't help but question Lou Xiaojiao's motives.

After a while, Lou Xiaojiao finally reacted, her face slightly flushed, and she glared at Tian Xiaoman, loudly denying: "You're talking nonsense! How could I possibly like Chen Feng? A playboy like him is totally not my type."

Saying this, she looked at Yu Xiaohui, who was still in thought, and defended herself: "Xiao Hui, don't listen to this woman's nonsense. How could I like Chen Feng? Even if I could use him as a human massage chair, I'd still find him dirty."

Chen Feng couldn't take it upon hearing this and shouted, "Hey, Lou Xiaojiao, you're going too far. Who are you calling dirty? Really comparing dirtiness, can you be dirtier than me?"

Lou Xiaojiao was initially somewhat regretful, but upon hearing what Chen Feng said, she got angry and loudly retorted, "I, madam, have only slept with two men to this day. And you? How many women have you slept with?"

Chen Feng wasn't intimidated, immediately countering, "How can men and women be the same? Men are like teapots; once the tea is ready, they can pour tea for many cups. Is that dirty? But you women are like cups; once one person has drunk from it and then it is given to another, would you say that's sanitary or dirty?"

Lou Xiaojiao blushed with anger upon hearing this: "You're talking nonsense!"

"Okay, okay! Each of you says less. We were fine having seafood earlier, and now we're out here arguing. What's the point? Enough already."

Yu Xiaohui intervened to defuse the situation. If she let them continue arguing, there would be no chance to do anything else tonight.

"Exactly! We're all adults here, let's each say less," Xie Xiaohua also intervened to calm things down, though he couldn't help but feel a bit sour as he admonished Chen Feng, "Chen Feng, I'm not saying it's your fault, but can't you as a man give in to women a little? Say less, and Ah Jiao wouldn't be this upset."

"Alright, alright, my bad. Ah Jiao, I tend to speak like that and offend people easily. Just don't hold a grudge, treat it as me talking nonsense earlier,"

Chen Feng also didn't want to continue bickering with a woman like her, so he proactively admitted his mistake.

"You were indeed talking nonsense," Lou Xiaojiao said, huffed, and said nothing further.

"Alright, let's get going to karaoke before you all argue further, or there'll be no singing tonight."

Yu Xiaohui tugged at Chen Feng, asking, "Where did you park? Where's the car key?"

As she spoke, she reached into the pocket of Chen Feng's shorts. Startled, Chen Feng quickly said, "Left pocket."

As he spoke, Chen Feng used his left hand to free Tian Xiaoman's arm and took the car key from his left pocket, handing it to Yu Xiaohui.

"Why are you giving it to me? I'm not driving," Yu Xiaohui said with a teasing smile towards Chen Feng.

Chen Feng cursed "widow" under his breath, didn't say more to her, and pressed the unlock button, with a crisp beep from a Cayenne a dozen meters away, its lights flashing.

The streetlights were pretty bright here, and everyone turned to look, except for Tian Xiaoman, who already knew. The other three were shocked.

"Chen Feng, did you drive that Cayenne here? Did you buy it or borrow it?"

Xie Xiaohua was the first to react, asking incredulously.

"Of course, I bought it. Who would I borrow it from?" Chen Feng replied, glancing at Xie Xiaohua.

Xie Xiaohua chuckled awkwardly, "I really underestimated you before. That Cayenne must cost at least a million. How much is the down payment if you financed it?"

"I don't know about that. I bought it outright for a little over one hundred twenty,"

Chen Feng responded casually, moving towards the Cayenne with Yu Xiaohui.

Falling behind, Tian Xiaoman hurried to catch up, defiantly linking her arm with Chen Feng's left arm again. Yu Xiaohui gave her a sideways glance but said nothing.

When Chen Feng approached the Cayenne, Xie Xiaohua snapped back to reality, silently sighing. It's true, comparing oneself to others only angers one; comparing cars makes one want to toss their own.

He previously believed his BMW 5 was quite flashy in their hometown, costing nearly five hundred grand—a luxury car in that rural area.

Last time they met, Chen Feng drove a Buick worth barely over three hundred thousand, giving Xie Xiaohua a sense of superiority. But now, Chen Feng had a million-plus Cayenne, bought outright, whereas Xie Xiaohua still had three years left on his five-year car loan.

He's completely outclassed!

In today's society, money is the courage of men. This society is pragmatic and straightforward, where men aren't judged by character or morals, not even looks, but by wealth and power.

Regular folks like them have no power, so it's all about comparing wealth.

Rich people command respect and confidence, and can speak loudly.

Previously, Xie Xiaohua saw Chen Feng as an equal at best. However, this Cayenne unconsciously lessened Xie Xiaohua's opinion of himself compared to Chen Feng.

"Why are you standing there? Let's go. Head to the Triumphal Arch at the Lin Nan Building."

Lou Xiaojiao prompted, heading straight to her parked car. Xie Xiaohua had no choice but to take out the keys to his BMW.

He used to treasure that BMW, feel at ease driving it, but now it suddenly lost its appeal.

Yu Xiaohui got into the front passenger seat of Chen Feng's car, leaving Tian Xiaoman to sit in the back.

Chen Feng started the car and asked Yu Xiaohui, "Where to?"

"Lin Nan Building," Yu Xiaohui replied, then asked, "You've been there before, right? At the Triumphal Arch KTV."

"Been there a few times. It's in the basement. Not bad,"

"Yeah, fair prices, decent service, mainly a good location."

Tian Xiaoman interjected, "In my opinion, we might as well go to the new Qian Gui; the sound system there is better, and it's more upscale."

Yu Xiaohui curled her lip, "That's in the west of the city, a bit far."

Tian Xiaoman replied, "It's not much farther than Lin Nan Building, at most a kilometer."

"Forget it, let's just go to Lin Nan Building."

Then Tian Xiaoman fell silent.

As the car drove a little further, Chen Feng asked curiously, "Little Man, is Qi Fulin pursuing you?"

Tian Xiaoman answered somewhat helplessly, "Yes. Ever since I started working at Third Middle School last year, he's been secretly pursuing me, asking me out several times which I refused. Later, when a leader's son from the Education Bureau pursued me, he gave up. I thought he had given up on me, but it turns out tonight he bribed my female colleague, trying to set me up and get me drunk. Luckily, I ran into you, you helped me out. Otherwise, I'd be in trouble tonight."

Chen Feng immediately commented, "Qi Fulin's a terrible person. Just three days ago, he tricked a female high school classmate of mine into going to a hotel and happened to be interrupted by me. Then, the day after, he tricked another woman into a hotel and again ran into me. I couldn't stand it and exposed him, saving that girl from him. And tonight, he's targeting you. He's really scummy, even as a self-confessed scoundrel, I can't compare to that."

Tian Xiaoman said angrily, "His reputation is not good. I've heard he got divorced because his wife caught him cheating, repeatedly."

From the passenger seat, Yu Xiaohui suddenly asked, "Both times he went to the hotel, how did you catch him? Were you there for the hotel too?"

This soul-piercing question made Chen Feng pause for a moment.
