After my divorce, I started to have good luck

Chapter 370: The Rhythm of the Leftover Women


Jiang Shasha suddenly brought up Liu Ying, obviously because everyone at the class reunion considered her and Chen Feng to be a couple.

But in fact, although they did have a fling, they weren't really together.

Liu Ying wanted to be with him, but that was just her wishful thinking.

Previously, Chen Feng explained a bit at the reunion, indicating that he and Liu Ying weren't officially in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship, but clearly, no one believed him.

Now that Jiang Shasha mentioned it, Chen Feng felt it necessary to clarify things with her.

"Actually, Liu Ying and I aren't really in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship. She wants to be my girlfriend, even wants to remarry, but I didn't agree. Because of this, we haven't contacted each other for several days."

"Oh, why is that? You don't like Liu Ying?" Jiang Shasha looked at Chen Feng in shock.

She really didn't know about Liu Ying's recent matters. Although Liu Ying had contacted her since returning to the country, their relationship wasn't very close. The main reason, besides her busy work, was that their relationship was really quite ordinary during college.

In college, Liu Ying was like a princess surrounded by admirers, while she was the inconspicuous ugly duckling, and apart from having good grades, she didn't leave a deep impression on her classmates.

Moreover, Liu Ying hadn't told her family about being rejected by Chen Feng, let alone this college classmate.

"It's not that I don't like her, it's that after experiencing a failed relationship and marriage, I'm a bit scared and don't want to go through it again."

If he really had to choose someone to marry, Chen Feng certainly wouldn't consider Liu Ying, who was divorced and had a child. Isn't Sun Xiaorui or Wu Mengting more suitable for him?

However, in front of Jiang Shasha, Chen Feng certainly couldn't speak the truth and had to spare Liu Ying some dignity.

"Sigh, it seems your previous marriage must have hit you hard." Jiang Shasha said with some sympathy.

Chen Feng smiled bitterly and said, "There was definitely an impact, but not as big as you think. Now, I purely don't want to be bound by marriage, so I don't even want to have an official girlfriend."

Jiang Shasha listened and shook her head with a smile, "It's very unfair to Liu Ying. She's already thirty now. If you don't want to develop a deeper relationship with her, dragging her along will make it difficult for her to remarry in a few years."

"To be honest with you, my relationship with her is mutual. If she's willing to be with me, I provide her material satisfaction; if not, we part ways amicably. That's how it is."

Chen Feng didn't directly say he was supporting Liu Ying, but he believed Jiang Shasha understood.

Jiang Shasha had actually thought of this long ago and wasn't surprised. She turned to say, "Looking at you now, it seems you're planning to live freely in the world and remain unattached among the many flowers."

Chen Feng laughed and said, "I do have such thoughts. When I want to settle down one day, I'll find a woman I like to marry and have kids. But enough about me; let's talk about you. Do you have a boyfriend now?"

After a moment of pause, Jiang Shasha shook her head directly and said, "No, I haven't had a boyfriend all these years."

"That's not good," Chen Feng said with concern. "I'm a man; it doesn't matter if I marry late, but you're a woman. If you wait a few more years, you'll really become a leftover woman. Should I introduce someone to you?"

"Thanks, but no need. For now, I really haven't thought about dating, let alone marriage."

Chen Feng bluntly said, "You're thirty too, right? If you don't want to date now, then when will you start?"

Jiang Shasha wasn't angry when he mentioned her age; it was indeed a fact that she was thirty.

She calmly said, "This depends on meeting someone who satisfies me. If I don't, I'd rather stay single."

Hearing this, Chen Feng shook his head and sighed, "Sigh, what you're saying is really the rhythm of becoming a leftover woman. Simply put, your standards are too high."

Jiang Shasha shook her head in denial, "My standards aren't high. If I meet someone I'm satisfied with, even if he's just an ordinary office worker without a house or car, I won't mind."

Chen Feng laughed, "With your conditions, how could you find someone without a house or car? Okay, let's not talk about this. Talking with you has strayed from the main topic. This time, I invited you out mainly to consult you about a case."

Knowing he shouldn't go too deep into relationship topics with Jiang Shasha, Chen Feng finally brought the topic back to Hong Guiquan's case. He didn't mention Wu Mengting, only saying it was a relative of a friend.

After hearing him out, Jiang Shasha pondered and said, "The case you mentioned is not hard to get a light sentence, after all, they've already actively returned the money, settled the illegal proceeds, and shown sincere remorse. This is crucial and fully meets the conditions for a light sentence. As long as there's a slightly reliable lawyer, a three-year sentence should be within reach."

Chen Feng felt reassured after hearing from this professional. Otherwise, he would have found it difficult to talk to Wu Mengting about it.

"Do you think they need to pull some strings?" Chen Feng directly asked.

Jiang Shasha didn't speak immediately but looked at Chen Feng with a somewhat strange expression.

"Why are you looking at me like that? Did I say something wrong?" Chen Feng asked, puzzled.

"Did you know I'm going to be transferred to Lu City?" Jiang Shasha suddenly asked.

Chen Feng was initially stunned, then realized and asked in surprise, "You're being transferred for work? Promoted?"

Jiang Shasha nodded and said, "I'm transferring next month, but it'll be in the civil court."

Chen Feng suddenly understood and nodded, "Oh, I really didn't know. I wish you great success on your new job in advance."

"Thank you."

At this time, the dishes they ordered arrived, so Chen Feng didn't continue discussing the case but instead talked about their university days.

Although they didn't have much interaction in college, they both had shared memories about people and events from there. After chatting like this, they felt much closer.

This western meal lasted about an hour, and since she had to work in the afternoon, they didn't continue talking much.

Chen Feng paid the bill and left the restaurant with her. Before parting ways, Jiang Shasha finally said, "I'll be transferred to Lu City at the beginning of next month and will keep an eye on this case. I can help within the boundaries of principles. However, everything needs to wait until I take office."

Jiang Shasha showed him respect, and Chen Feng certainly wouldn't lack tact, promptly saying, "Don't take this case too seriously. After all, it's my friend's relative's case. Help if you can, but if not, don't put yourself in a difficult position."

Jiang Shasha nodded, indicating she understood.
