Chapter 20

As they drove for a long time, Lin Miaoxue smiled and didn’t say anything else. When they were near her house, she suddenly spoke again.

She seemed to be very casual as she said, “30,000 is not much. There’s no point in talking about money.

“How about… you treat me to a meal instead?”

Her expression was very calm, and she said this very casually, without even looking at Jiang Feng.

When he suddenly heard this, Jiang Feng was stunned. “30,000 yuan just in exchange for a meal?”

He was still quite honest, even though 30,000 yuan was not a lot of money to him at the moment. To Lin Miaoxue, who had worked hard to earn this money, it was not a small amount. Besides, Lin Miaoxue had never had luxurious habits.

He was a little surprised that she had suggested that the two of them have a 30,000-yuan meal. However, when he expressed his doubts, Lin Miaoxue turned her head. She blinked her big eyes at him and smiled coquettishly. “You misunderstood. 30,000 yuan can pay for a lot of meals.”

After saying that, she quickly turned her head and felt her ears burning. She covered her face shyly, not daring to look at Jiang Feng. As soon as she said that, Jiang Feng instantly understood. Then, he changed the topic and deliberately asked a question back.

“If I only had steamed buns every day, wouldn’t I be able to have such a meal for the rest of my life?”

After she heard Jiang Feng’s words, Lin Miaoxue’s face turned even redder. Meanwhile, Liu Xinyao had sent her a new message. She quickly took out her phone and didn’t answer him. As Jiang Feng drove, he inadvertently glanced at Lin Miaoxue. When he saw the blush on her fair face, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Then, he quickly turned back and continued driving.

Lin Miaoxue’s fingers were typing on the keyboard, but she couldn’t even type a few words. In the meantime, Liu Xinyao’s messages kept coming in, and her heart was pounding like a deer’s, thumping non-stop.

…

Jiang Feng was in a very good mood. In a short while, they reached Lin Miaoxue’s home. Her family lived in a high-end residential area in the wealthy district of Shanghai. This residential area was located on the edge of the Bund, and when one looked down, one could see half of Shanghai’s scenery. It was definitely an extremely luxurious and beautiful experience. Only the truly wealthy could settle down in such a place. However, this was also a place with a big population. Jiang Feng was unfortunately stuck in traffic, which was a frequent occurrence there. He had no choice but to find a temporary parking spot and stop the car.

Then, the two of them got out of the car and walked to Lin Miaoxue’s home. Perhaps it was because they had arrived at a familiar place, but Lin Miaoxue became lively and chatted with Jiang Feng as they walked. When a handsome man and a beautiful woman walked together, they made people everywhere jealous. What made people even more envious was Lin Miaoxue’s clear, bell-like laughter. The two of them looked like they were flirting, and as they walked, Jiang Feng saw a row of high-end restaurants.

He turned his head and said straightforwardly, “It’s time to decide. What do you want to eat today? I’ll make arrangements!”

When she heard him, Lin Miaoxue turned her eyes and looked at the restaurant next door. After a quick glance, she pointed to the restaurant and said, “How about we eat hairy crabs today?

“I’ve been to this restaurant, and the squirrel fish is also delicious!” Her face looked as expectant as the face of a hungry cat.

“Okay!” Jiang Feng laughed, feeling carefree.

…

Two hours later, darkness had already covered the entire city of Shanghai, and all the streets near the Bund were lit up by street lights. On the huge buildings, neon lights were flashing, and the beauty of the city was revealed in all its glory. In a restaurant close to Lin Miaoxue’s neighborhood, Yu Jia was having dinner with a fat, greasy middle-aged man.

“I really didn’t expect you to be so interesting. Hehehe…” Yu Jia finished the delicious food with small bites and smiled at the greasy man. She seemed to be having a nice chat with him and enjoying his humor.

However, the vulgar words of the greasy man made her want to vomit. She had long lost her good impression of him. However, the BMW key and the watch that the man had placed on the table made her choose to suppress her disgust.

“Haha, interesting souls tend to collide with each other. I’m lucky that I’ve met someone who knows how to appreciate me!” The man’s heart melted when he heard Yu Jia’s coquettish words. Then, he continued to say vulgar words, even though he didn’t know where he had learned them.

Yu Jia responded with a smile. Her gaze seemed to be on his face, but in fact, she was looking at the shop behind him. As soon as the greasy man finished speaking, Yu Jia’s expression suddenly changed.

Right across the street were Jiang Feng and Lin Miaoxue, who were smiling as they waved goodbye. This instantly reminded her of what had happened this morning. A few hours ago, Jiang Feng had yelled at her in the hospital and kicked her out. In the blink of an eye, he was chatting and laughing with another woman on the bustling streets of Shanghai.

An angry fire immediately appeared in her heart. As expected, she had been right! Jiang Feng had hooked up with another woman. He must have been enchanted by this woman’s beauty into betraying her! She was furious, and the more she thought about it, the angrier she got. She hadn’t gotten anything in so long, and in the end, Jiang Feng had cheated on her too. He had even yelled at her in the hospital. The anger in her heart was hard to suppress, and even her expression changed.

This made the greasy man sitting across from her feel rather puzzled. Then, he turned his head and followed her gaze. The greasy man looked at Jiang Feng, who was about to leave. Then, he turned to her and asked, “Are you looking at that guy? Do you know him?”

Upon hearing the man’s words, Yu Jia came back to her senses. She looked at the man and nodded. “Yes, he is my ex-boyfriend.”

Yu Jia didn’t hesitate to reveal Jiang Feng’s identity.

When he heard this, the greasy man immediately asked with concern, “What’s going on between you two? You look very angry.”

Yu Jia looked at the man and put down the chopsticks in her hand. She then said angrily, “His home was recently demolished. He invested 10 million yuan in Bitcoin and lost everything!

“That’s fine. After all, it’s his family’s business.

“But I had been with him for so many months, and he didn’t even buy me a branded bag. He was so stingy.

“The worst part is that he actually fooled around with another woman. He even turned around and scolded me before breaking up with me. That was really too much.

“That’s exactly how he treated me. Sob, sob, sob… He’s too heartless…”

As she spoke, Yu Jia pretended to be sad and wiped fake tears away. Her tearful appearance immediately made the greasy man’s heart ache. As for what she had said, he didn’t even think about it before deciding that she was right.

“I really didn’t expect him to be such a person!” the man said with a nod after hearing Yu Jia’s words.

“Why? Do you know him?” Yu Jia immediately stopped sobbing and raised her head to look at the man.

“That’s Jiang Feng! Of course I know him. He is one of my employees.

“I am the manager of the company. I am his superior!” When he said this, a hint of arrogance suddenly appeared on the greasy man’s demeanor.

As soon as she heard this, Yu Jia’s heart felt complacent. She had never thought that the man in front of her would be Jiang Feng’s immediate superior.

‘Just you wait! This time, I will definitely teach you a lesson!’ Yu Jia thought hatefully in her heart as she glanced at Jiang Feng, who was strolling away outside the window.
