Chapter 109

"Brother, you said that besides kinship and friendship—that is, emotional gifts—if you want to obtain something, you must pay a price."

"We have a bit of money, but we're not running a charity; we can't just toss out tens of thousands out of sympathy, can we?"

"First, I'm pretty fond of Wang Yu now; Wang Yu won't let me touch her, otherwise she'll break up with me."

"Second, I don't like this kind of Jiang Xiaofei."

"She's good looking, but she comes across as dainty, not lively at all—pretty dull."

"Also, if my mother learns I took those tens of thousands of whatever, she'll definitely snap my leg."

"Look, if we just do nothing! She'll surely go find someone else, which would just make those greasy uncles with bulging bellies and protruding heads look cheap."

"Jiang Xiaofei has never had a boyfriend, brother; good water doesn't flow to outsiders, so…"

When Zhao Xiaoyang finished, Lin Feng asked, "Was it Wang Yu who introduced her?"

"Yes!"

"Wang Yu first met me, I also spent some money on her; we all just hang out together, and when we get fed up we'll definitely break up—everyone takes what they need!"

"Jiang Xiaofei and Wang Yu share a dormitory; after learning about her, she came up with this idea for Jiang Xiaofei."

Finishing, Zhao Xiaoyang scratched his head and said, "Brother, you're not really angry with me, are you?"

Lin Feng looked over Zhao Xiaoyang and suddenly found that he was more active than before.

He used to be like a stuffy gourd, not fond of speaking.

He was the sort of ruthless fellow who didn't say much.

Now he talks considerably more.

There's a proverb—how does it go again?

People do change.

Also, those who stay near vermilion turn red; those who stay near ink turn black.

Zhao Xiaoyang idolizes Lin Feng and, without realizing it, mimics Lin Feng's manner of speaking and dealing with things.

Since he became somewhat articulate and generous, his girlfriends have been replaced one after another.

These days, he lives more comfortably than Lin Feng himself.

Lin Feng patted Zhao Xiaoyang's shoulder and said, "Many successful people ultimately fall because of women. Women are troublesome, so it's best not to get involved; once you do, you must treat them well—it costs time and energy."

"Then brother, you… Yanru‑sister, Zhu Li‑sister, Cola‑sister, Han Xiang‑sister…"

Zhao Xiaoyang shook his head and listed them one by one.

Lin Feng tapped Zhao Xiaoyang's head and said, "I'm talking about you."

Jiang Xiaofei, somewhat shy, got into Lin Feng's car and sat in the passenger seat.

Lin Feng checked the time—seven p. m.

The car rode through the bustling streets of Yanjingcheng.

Outside the window a blaze of red lights and Alcohol, scantily clad beauties, all sorts of luxury cars, huge malls, upscale clothing stores…

These sights flickered past Jiang Xiaofei's eyes one after another.

Her mood was very complicated.

Thinking of those luxury cars, the cost of a single vehicle could provide her family a good life, and she felt inexplicably sad.

But at the same time, she also yearned for that high‑material‑enjoyment lifestyle.

"How old are you this year?" Lin Feng suddenly asked.

Lin Feng suddenly opened his mouth and asked.

Jiang Xiaofei came back to herself and replied, "I'm 18."

"You don't look like it!" Lin Feng said lightly.

Lin Feng said lightly.

Jiang Xiaofei quickly pulled her ID from her bag and handed it to Lin Feng.

But when she saw Lin Feng driving, she withdrew her hand.

Lin Feng only gave it a glance and saw clearly the information on the ID.

Birthdate: March 6, 1994.

Regardless of solar or lunar calendar, she is already 18.

"Post‑90s!" Lin Feng sighed lightly, "You look about twenty‑two or twenty‑three, quite mature."

Jiang Xiaofei didn't know how to respond.

Lin Feng knew it was because of malnutrition; her skin, though white, was dry, and her brows and eyes showed worry.

When a person has worries, they age quickly.

After more than ten minutes, Lin Feng parked the car in the lot outside Ronald Hospital.

Then he led the wide‑eyed Jiang Xiaofei up to the hospital's second floor.

It was about nine o'clock.

"Dr. Aili, on night shift?"

Lin Feng entered the consultation room, looked at the blond‑eyed female doctor, and said with a smile.

"Mr. Lin, good evening!"

Aili greeted Lin Feng.

Lin Feng sat down.

Aili took the report, looked at it, and said with a smile, "Besides some nutritional deficiency, this lady has no problems; she can improve her life a bit, and in a week or two she'll recover."

Lin Feng nodded, took back the examination report, "Thank you, Aili!"

Lin Feng nodded, took back the examination report, "Thank you, Ai Li!"

Lin Feng didn't say goodbye; who has nothing better to do than see a doctor!

After leaving the examination room, Jiang Xiaofei walked over.

Lin Feng handed her the medical report and said lightly, "All the indicators are normal; it's just that your body lacks some nutrition, so just eat well."

Jiang Xiaofei nodded and slipped the report into her pocket.

After leaving the hospital and getting into the car, Lin Feng added, "Let's have a late‑night snack first, then find an inn."

Jiang Xiaofei opened her mouth.

Lin Feng took out his phone, logged into mobile banking, and asked, "Your bank card number?"

Jiang Xiaofei immediately produced a bank card and handed it to Lin Feng.

After memorizing the number, Lin Feng transferred 500,000.

Thank you!

After receiving the deposit notice, Jiang Xiaofei said with a grateful expression.

Now she could finally relax.

Having not gotten the money, being manipulated felt really unpleasant.

She had a meal.

When they checked into a high‑end hotel, it was already eleven p. m.

After taking a shower, Jiang Xiaofei, wrapped in a bath towel, sat on the bedside with a flushed face, feeling somewhat uneasy.

That moment felt very long to her.

Heh~

The restroom door opened.

Lin Feng's footsteps grew nearer.

Jiang Xiaofei became nervous and didn't dare turn her head to look.
