After my divorce, I started to have good luck

After the class reunion ended, Chen Feng's life returned to its original path, peaceful and leisurely, filled with laziness and comfort.

In the morning, he was rather diligent. If the weather was good, he would generally go out and run around the neighborhood for one or two laps. If the weather wasn't good, he would usually run five to six kilometers on the treadmill at home.

After running, he would shower, have breakfast, and lie on the sofa or deck chair to scroll through his phone until the nanny Sister Xue made lunch and Sun and Wu both came back, he would then put down his phone and eat with them.

While eating, they would chat idly. Sometimes it was about company matters, other times about celebrity gossip or current news.

After lunch, he would either continue chatting with the two women or everyone would go back to their rooms to rest.

However, Chen Feng now basically doesn't nap during the day. Instead, he would start meditating around one or two in the afternoon, absorbing energy from those artworks or the two pieces of Bone, while also practicing.

In any case, he enjoyed it, often spending the afternoon time like this.

So another two days passed.

That day, Chen Feng heard the latest news about Cao Jun from Liu Ying, and it was a piece of news that left everyone dumbfounded.

Cao Jun had an underground affair with Cao Li a few years ago, giving Yuan Hua a big green hat. Yuan Hua had been kept in the dark, until two days ago when he inadvertently discovered the matter in the hospital.

Yuan Hua went berserk, overwhelmed with anger, and rushed to beat Cao Jun up, because Cao Jun had just finished surgery, and due to being severely beaten by Yuan Hua, his wound began bleeding profusely and he almost lost his life.

Although he was rescued, the condition undoubtedly worsened, and being discharged in a short period of time was impossible.

As a result, Yuan Hua had already been taken into custody, and today he contacted Jiang Shasha for help, who introduced him to a lawyer.

With such a big incident, Yuan Hua's family had already rushed to Xiu Zhou from their hometown.

Meanwhile, Cao Li, Yuan Hua's wife, had been taking care of Cao Jun in the hospital for the past two days.

It was certain that the relationship for Yuan Hua and Cao Li, the couple that had been envied by classmates in their class, had come to an end.

After hearing this absurd "love triangle" and "good brother" story, Chen Feng also felt a bit emotional.

Like everyone else, he never would have dreamed that Cao Jun and Cao Li had something going on. In college, they had no indications whatsoever.

Back then, Yuan Hua and Cao Li, being from the same hometown, confirmed their relationship as lovers from their sophomore year onward and often showed off their love in the class, making many in the class envious and jealous.

What's even rarer was that they didn't break up after graduating from college. This was probably the benefit of being from the same hometown, and they ended up getting married three years later, again making their whole class envious.

They started their relationship from sophomore year all the way until now; they were both thirty, nearly ten years of affection, only to end up empty.

That's mainly what Chen Feng felt emotional about. Losing a ten-year relationship just like that, how could one not feel sentimental?

As for Cao Jun digging up his classmate and good brother's corner, and giving the other party a green hat, Chen Feng had no particular sentiments upon knowing. Cao Jun was never a good person, doing something contemptible like this was considered normal.

"Our classmates now feel very sympathetic towards Yuan Hua and are disgusted with Cao Jun and Cao Li—those two dogs. Some people have already started getting together, contacting our class monitor privately and asking him to kick those two out of the group. But the class monitor didn't agree, which made us a bit dissatisfied."

There are two class groups, one on QQ and one on WeChat. The admin is their former class monitor, currently living in Beijing.

"If classmates with admin privileges kick them out, wouldn't that work?" Chen Feng asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Both of them are admins in the group. Cao Jun would often show off in the group for no reason; Cao Li is also an active member in the group, both have admin privileges."

"The class monitor probably feels embarrassed not kicking them out. Cao Jun used to have a pretty good relationship with him. Moreover, Cao Jun hasn't wronged him. Even though Cao Jun and Cao Li both have moral issues, they are still our classmates after all."

"Wow, you're actually defending them! That's really unexpected." Liu Ying teased.

"I'm defending the class monitor. He's rather decent in both actions and character."

Chen Feng always had a good impression of the class monitor from university. The reason was simple, as he had just said, being decent in actions and character. Wouldn't deliberately flatter people, nor disrespect anyone.

Unfortunately, after graduating, he went to Beijing to work and live, and Chen Feng hadn't seen him in several years. Maybe because he was busy with work, he rarely chatted in the group much.

Privately, Chen Feng didn't want to rashly reach out to him.

"Yes, that's true. The class monitor is rather decent, but also somewhat inflexible. I've heard that he's currently working on instant messaging technology development in Beijing, has strong technical abilities, but hasn't been appreciated by leadership, always doing the work of an old workhorse, all the dirty and tiring work handled by him, but the credit is either shared or simply goes to the leadership."

"Since he has the skills, why worry about finding a job? Just switch jobs instead."

"His workplace now is semi-state-owned, the overall benefits are still quite good, not to mention he has a wife and kids now, seeking stability, it's unlikely he'll switch jobs easily. Also, he isn't the type to take risks."

"Then he can't blame anyone else."

...

Not long after lunch the next day, Chen Feng received a call from Zhang Kewei, inviting him out for tea, also wanting to discuss something with him.

Chen Feng asked him what it was about, but Zhang Kewei hesitated without answering, only saying they'd talk when they met.

Since Chen Feng didn't have anything else to do, he went out to meet him.

This time, Zhang Kewei chose a slightly upscale teahouse, where the cheapest pot of tea was 58 yuan.

Zhang Kewei ordered the 58-yuan pot, which Chen Feng found already prepared when he arrived.

"Come, have some tea."

Zhang Kewei warmly stood up to pour Chen Feng some tea, with a smile on his face, a slight hint of ingratiation.

Chen Feng wasn't surprised by this change in attitude, accepting the tea with a smile, taking a sip, and asked directly, "Alright, tell me, did you ask me out to borrow money?"

Zhang Kewei was momentarily stunned, then quickly shook his head saying, "You're overthinking it. Why would I borrow money from you? I'm currently single, earning over ten thousand a month, my down payment for the house is almost covered, no need to borrow money."

"Then what's the matter you asked me out for? And being so evasive about it?"

Not bothering with pleasantries, Chen Feng asked directly.

Zhang Kewei initially intended to chat about old times with him, to evoke shared classmate memories before moving onto the main topic. But since it's already been asked so directly, he couldn't hide anymore, had to bite the bullet and said, "Aren't you now running a film company? And I heard you've got a TV series ready for release. Well, you know I'm a web writer. I've been writing novels online and made some money.
