After my divorce, I started to have good luck

Then, he found a moment to message Liu Ying, telling her he had already left and she could decide when to leave. Additionally, he reminded her not to drink and to stay safe.

After all, she was now his woman, so Chen Feng was naturally worried that she might get drunk and be taken advantage of by others.

After quite a while, Liu Ying messaged him back, informing him that Cao Jun and Yuan Hua had gotten into some trouble.

Cao Jun was suffering from severe abdominal pain, had just been taken to the ambulance, and was preliminarily diagnosed with a ruptured intestine, requiring immediate surgery.

Yuan Hua, on the other hand, was beaten up in the bathroom, emerged with a bruised face, and claimed he was forced to drink toilet water, suffering significant physical and mental trauma. He had already reported to the police, who had arrived and were waiting to further investigate and collect evidence.

Chen Feng initially found these two "good news" hard to believe, but he knew Liu Ying wouldn't lie to him, and a cheerful smile unknowingly appeared on his lips.

He immediately sent a message to inquire in detail about what happened, but unfortunately, Liu Ying didn't know much either.

All she knew was that Zhang Kewei and another male classmate had gone with Cao Jun to the hospital, and the police had already arrived at Yuan Hua's side. Yuan Hua and Cao Li had gone to the station to give statements.

With this incident happening, everyone obviously lost the mood to continue the gathering. As Cao Jun, who had promised to foot the bill, went to the hospital and Zhang Kewei, the organizer, followed along, everyone was discussing pooling money to pay the bill.

Initially, several people thought to let Chen Feng, the wealthy one, cover the bill, but not finding him, they had to give up.

At this time, Chen Feng was naturally in a great mood, and immediately offered to pay for the gathering, asking Liu Ying to tell him the amount so he could transfer the money, having Liu Ying handle the payment.

Liu Ying wouldn't save Chen Feng's money, and with his wealth, this amount was indeed nothing.

So, she happily announced to the classmates that Chen Feng would be covering the bill for this gathering, prompting cheers from everyone. Having someone cover the bill is always a pleasant thing.

When they finally tallied the bill, it was just over sixteen thousand. Considering the group's size, the expense wasn't really expensive.

Chen Feng sent eighteen thousand directly, with the extra for drinks and smokes for everyone.

This gesture from Chen Feng satisfied all the classmates, with a few guys grabbing packs of cigarettes at the counter downstairs and each girl taking a drink, making everyone happy.

Everyone left the restaurant chatting and laughing, seemingly unaffected by the incidents with Cao Jun and Yuan Hua.

In fact, the issues with Yuan Hua and Cao Jun didn't really concern them much.

After returning to Red Villa Bay, Chen Feng went directly to Liu Ying's villa, waiting for her return.

About an hour later, Liu Ying finally came back.

By then, Chen Feng had already showered and was almost asleep on the living room sofa.

"Why so late?"

Chen Feng asked with some annoyance.

The class reunion tonight, coupled with Cao Jun's unfortunate trip to the hospital, was undoubtedly a good thing for him, even though it wasn't his doing. As such, he felt particularly good tonight, wanting to celebrate a little with her.

Yet, he had waited so long.

Liu Ying explained hurriedly, "I had no choice. Cao Li called Jiang Shasha for help, and then Jiang Shasha dragged me along to the police station. We stayed there for over half an hour before leaving."

"Oh, did they catch the people who beat up Yuan Hua?" Chen Feng asked casually.

"It's not that easy at this hour. Plus, there are no cameras in that bathroom, and the footage from the cameras outside is unclear at night. Yuan Hua doesn't know those two men. At the station, they were only able to compare recordings to identify those two. By the time we left, they hadn't found them yet."

"Then what did they take Jiang Shasha along for?"

"For support, I guess. Jiang Shasha works in the provincial high court, so she's somewhat useful at the station. They promised as soon as they identify those two, they'll summon them immediately to seek justice for Yuan Hua. Ah, Yuan Hua is really unfortunate, running into such bad luck out of nowhere. When Shasha and I left, he was taken to the hospital by Cao Li, as he was badly beaten and might have some internal injuries, needing an examination for peace of mind."

Although Chen Feng wasn't exactly happy about Yuan Hua's misfortune, he didn't feel much sympathy either. Their relationship during school was very average, and during this meeting, Yuan Hua was acting like Cao Jun's sidekick, antagonizing him, which didn't leave a good impression on Chen Feng.

"He indeed had bad luck, but it doesn't concern us," Chen Feng said indifferently, "In the future, it's better if you avoid contacting Cao Li and Yuan Hua."

Liu Ying naturally understood why, chuckling as she shook her head, "You're really petty. Just because they said a few things about you at the reunion, you're this cold. They're still our classmates for four years of college after all."

Indifferently, Chen Feng responded, "Classmate ties can sometimes seem close, but it depends on the people. For classmates like Cao Jun and Yuan Hua, who don't get along with me, I even see them as less than strangers."

"Alright, I'll listen to you. I'll try not to contact them in the future."

Wisely, Liu Ying didn't argue the point with Chen Feng; after all, her relationship with Yuan Hua and Cao Li wasn't great either, and there was really no need to argue with Chen Feng over them.

Chen Feng seemed satisfied with her attitude, nodding and saying, "That's the way it should be. Now that everyone knows you're with me, you must align with me."

"Yes, you're right. I'm going to take a shower now."

Giving Chen Feng a seductive glance, Liu Ying stepped upstairs.

With a gentle smile, Chen Feng immediately got off the sofa and followed her.

...

Jiang Shasha returned to her dorm at work, exhausted, ran a bath, and lay down inside, soon falling asleep unknowingly.

By the time she woke up, more than half an hour had passed.

She was genuinely tired today, as even on holidays she wasn't free, spending the whole day with the leaders on site visits to the industrial park first, then to suburban shantytowns, tiring her out completely.

So initially, when invited to the class reunion, she declined without a second thought.

But later, when idly browsing the class group, she saw Zhang Kewei mention that Chen Feng would attend. After hesitating for a moment, she quickly contacted Zhang Kewei, expressing her intention to join.

Zhang Kewei then relayed this to Cao Jun, who eagerly drove over to pick her up.

Having only been in formal employment for over two years, coming from a not well-off family and without her own car, she didn't refuse Cao Jun's enthusiasm.

As for her sudden change of heart, it was indeed because of Chen Feng.

It wasn't that she secretly admired Chen Feng during college, but because two or three months earlier, she spotted Chen Feng at a banquet in Wenhua Inn while accompanying her boss. She recognized him then.

But that wasn't the key point. The key issue was seeing Tao Yaoyang standing beside Chen Feng, and she was aware of Tao Yaoyang's background.

At the time, Tao Yaoyang was clearly very friendly, arguably deferential towards Chen Feng, who maintained a calm demeanor.

The scene left a significant impression on her!
