After my divorce, I started to have good luck

"Back then, you enthusiastically invited me to dinner twice. I even thought you were pursuing me. Fortunately, I later heard you were chasing Shasha, realized it was a misunderstanding, and didn't contact you again. Otherwise, I would have feared Shasha misunderstood."

Liu Ying's words were somewhat probing, almost explicitly saying he was two-timing, chasing both sides at once back then.

Cao Jun, being who he was, naturally understood the implication behind Liu Ying's words. He was quite angry, angry that Liu Ying was disrespecting him and giving him a hard time in front of Jiang Shasha.

On the surface, however, he didn't seem angry at all. Instead, he smiled and replied calmly, "Liu Ying, although I pursued you back then, I was slapped down several times by you. You broke my heart long ago, not to mention so many years have passed. You've married, had children abroad, and returned home after your divorce; times have changed. How could I be chasing you? You were the one who first contacted me after returning to the country, not the other way around. I invited you to dinner out of old classmate affection, without realizing you'd misunderstand. That's indeed my fault."

Cao Jun's counterattack was undeniably sharp, directly pinpointing her past marriage, childbirth, and divorce, stating he couldn't possibly be interested in her anymore, and mentioning she contacted him first.

These words were hurtful, but mostly factual, leaving Liu Ying momentarily unable to refute them. Her face flushed with anger.

Chen Feng was standing nearby, listening to these words. Surely, he would form an opinion about her.

She did contact Cao Jun first back then, but she hadn't reunited with Chen Feng yet, and she had no idea Cao Jun was pursuing Jiang Shasha. How could she be blamed?

Besides, Cao Jun did show interest in her back then. As a woman who's been married and had children, she's quite sensitive to such matters. She wasn't wronging him.

Yet arguing with him further would only entangle things more, certainly making Chen Feng increasingly dissatisfied with her.

She glared at Cao Jun, wishing she could step forward and slap him, but she couldn't do that, couldn't escalate things.

"Cao Jun, since you have no interest in me, that's even better. I'm with Chen Feng now, and everyone knows your relationship with him. To avoid him misunderstanding, we shouldn't contact each other anymore. Stop sending me annoying messages. I'm going to block you now."

Liu Ying wasn't easily bullied either, and what she said was true. Although Cao Jun hadn't contacted her for two or three months, he did frequently message her, trying to ask her out before then.

Cao Jun couldn't deny this because denying would be futile; Liu Ying could just show everyone the WeChat records, and he'd humiliate himself.

As she spoke, Liu Ying took out her phone and blocked Cao Jun on WeChat and her phone directly.

As a grown man, Cao Jun couldn't say anything to her because of this, but undoubtedly, he lost quite a bit of face in front of Jiang Shasha right then, only able to suffer silently.

Three years ago, when Cao Jun found out Jiang Shasha entered the provincial high court through the national exam, he began pursuing her, but now, after three years, they're still only classmates and friends, leaving him quite frustrated.

If it weren't for Jiang Shasha being genuinely excellent in various aspects, looking beautiful, plus the substantial sunk costs he accumulated over these three years, he would've given up long ago.

However, as with many things and people, the harder they are to obtain, the more unforgettable they become.

At this moment, several classmates had gathered around, listening to the conversation between the two of them earlier, all with a gossiping, watching expression on their faces.

Everyone had been classmates for four years in college and knew very well about the "love triangle" between Chen Feng, Cao Jun, and Liu Ying. Now, with Jiang Shasha added, it became a "love quadrilateral," making it even more intriguing and stoking their gossiping interest intensely.

With Liu Ying directly blocking Cao Jun's contacts, Cao Jun's embarrassed look undoubtedly made everyone feel quite satisfied.

"Chen Feng, don't listen to rumors. After divorcing and returning back, I was single until I met you."

Seeing Chen Feng's somewhat stern face, Liu Ying felt somewhat anxious inside and couldn't help but come over to explain to him.

Having heard Cao Jun say earlier that Liu Ying contacted him first, Chen Feng was naturally a bit uncomfortable. Furthermore, considering Liu Ying proactively contacted him earlier, he felt even more uneasy.

Initially, he thought he was the "avenged victor," taking advantage of her, with Liu Ying being the passive party, the prey, the one being captured, while he was the hunter.

But, looking at it now, who was the hunter and who was the prey was still uncertain.

Chen Feng had taken advantage of her, sleeping with her as he pleased, but correspondingly, he also provided her with ample rewards, offering her a mansion worth over tens of millions to live in, giving her 30,000 yuan monthly pocket money, and arranging a job for her at Fengmang Film and Television Company, thus allowing her to live a carefree, if not affluent and fulfilling, petit bourgeois life.

For the moment, Chen Feng didn't respond to her words, just smiled and looked at Jiang Shasha, saying, "You're involved in legal work now, and seeing as we've met today, there are some things I'd like to consult you about. Would that be okay?"

Jiang Shasha smiled slightly and replied straightforwardly, "There's no issue with that, go ahead."

"Great, could you please come with me over there to discuss privately?"

Chen Feng, unceremonious, led Jiang Shasha to a sofa by a corner wall for a chat, where no one else was present. Seeing that the two wanted to discuss privately, none of their classmates unthinkingly attempted to eavesdrop.

Liu Ying hesitated several times but ultimately didn't go over.

"Go ahead, what do you want to consult? I'll provide advice based on my knowledge and experience working at the court."

After sitting down, Jiang Shasha proactively spoke, appearing very attentive, making Chen Feng's impression of her even better.

"Here's the thing: I currently have a live-in girlfriend, whom you might call 'kept.' She's serving as a deputy general manager at my company now. If I were to pass away unexpectedly, would she have inheritance rights? Mainly since the villa we're living in was bought after getting together with her; does it count as shared property?"

Upon hearing this question from Chen Feng, Jiang Shasha froze for several seconds before comprehending, deeply glanced at Chen Feng first, then asked, "This woman isn't Liu Ying, is she?"

Chen Feng answered honestly shaking his head, "No."

Jiang Shasha took a deep breath, then asked, looking slightly serious, "Did she contribute any funds when you bought the villa? Also, did she participate in founding or hold shares in your current company? Plus, do you have a will?"

"She didn't contribute financially, and the company was founded solely by me, with 100% ownership. I did leave a will, naming my parents as the sole inheritors. Does this will remain enforceable?"

"A will is certainly enforceable—and most effectively so. With a will, inheritance is distributed according to its contents. Without one, inheritance follows statutory rules, divided among first-order heirs: parents, spouse, children together. Regarding this live-in girlfriend you mentioned, considering it's merely a kept relationship, your relationship is deemed an illicit cohabitation, meaning she essentially has no inheritance rights. She has no inheritance claim to your assets."
