Lou Xiaojiao noticed Yu Xiaohui looking a bit down and, understanding her thoughts, spoke up for her: "Chen Feng, tell us the truth, do you have a girlfriend now?"

Chen Feng answered frankly, "Yes. I not only have a girlfriend now, but also a few lovers."

"Really?"

"Really."

The car fell silent immediately. Yu Xiaohui looked even more sullen. Lou Xiaojiao could only sympathetically grasp her hand and gently pat it for comfort.

"You men are all the same, once you have money, you change for the worse. Every rich man I met is never loyal to their wife," Lou Xiaojiao bluntly generalized.

Chen Feng laughed, "That's too much of a generalization. There definitely are rich men who are loyal and devoted to their wives."

Lou Xiaojiao pouted, "Maybe there are, but I haven't met one growing up. The best ones just play around without keeping mistresses, and they're already a minority among the wealthy. Most keep mistresses outside, aren't you the same?"

Chen Feng quickly corrected, "I've been divorced for a while and I'm still single now, so isn't it normal for a single wealthy man to be a bit flirty? It's been like this since ancient times."

"That's why it's good to be a man. If rich, having a few women is understandable, but if a woman has money and seeks a few men, she's criticized. Is that fair?"

"Gender equality is only relative, it can't be equal in everything at all times. We men often feel gender inequality too, because sometimes it's unfair to us."

"Alright, let's not talk about it. Does your girlfriend have time tonight? You should bring her out for us to meet."

"Probably not. She's very busy." Chen Feng declined again.

"You're being no fun. What's wrong with bringing your girlfriend out for your two old classmates to see, unless she's really ugly?"

"She's really busy. Besides, what's the point in you meeting her? You don't know her."

"Bring her out to meet us, and then you'll know each other!"

"Let's discuss it later. I need to go back and ask her first." Chen Feng used a delaying tactic to avoid the topic.

"Fine. I'll wait for your news tonight."

...

Ma personally drove the minivan, and as an experienced driver, he skillfully kept up with Chen Feng's car, which topped out at eighty kilometers per hour.

He initially intended to stage an accident with Chen Feng's car, then use a private settlement to get close to him and find an opportunity to act against him.

But there was never a suitable chance until Chen Feng and his friends smoothly arrived at Fuman Building.

"Ma, what do we do now?"

The minivan stopped at Fuman Building's entrance as well. Jin asked Ma.

Wang suggested, "Why don't we go in and have a meal too? I'm sick of take-out and snacks every day these past few days."

Ma shook his head, "Better to be quick and decisive. I'll go and crash into his car now, then leave a note, and once he contacts me, it'll be easy."

"That's a great idea. Let's do it."

Jin and Wang both agreed, eager to conclude the matter and return to Lu City to get the money sooner.

Ma didn't say more and went to start the car, but it sputtered and stalled repeatedly.

Seeing this, Ma cursed inwardly, this damn rental van had quality issues, failing at a crucial moment.

"Try again, keep trying," Jin encouraged from the side.

"Let me try," Wang also suggested.

"Both of you, back off!"

Ma was determined to keep trying, and after more than ten attempts, the engine finally roared to life.

Ma couldn't help but smile victoriously.

Just as he was feeling proud, a loud bang suddenly sounded. He was thrown out from the driver's seat, followed by the van tipping over with glass shattering.

The three inside were left dizzy, all suffering injuries to varying degrees. Unluckily, Jin hit his head on the seat corner, resulting in a bloody forehead, looking quite alarming, but he was still conscious, fortunately.

"What the hell happened?"

The three of them were bewildered, having no idea what had occurred. The only thing confirming was that someone had crashed and overturned their rental minivan.

Thanks to helpful bystanders, they climbed out of the car and finally figured out what happened.

Simply put, they encountered a female driver who mistook the gas pedal for the brake.

The three were frustrated to tears because with Jin's bleeding head, they had to go to the hospital first. Even Ma and Jin were slightly injured and needed checkups.

So, they were first taken to the hospital by an arriving ambulance, and as for the plan against Chen Feng, of course, it had to be postponed.

Chen Feng, unaware he narrowly avoided trouble, knew nothing about Ma and the others following him.

Chen Feng, familiar with the place, led the two women into a private room and ordered food, briefly introducing a few signature dishes. The two women were unapologetic and added all to the order, spending directly over ten thousand.

Chen Feng didn't mind spending it, after all, they were old classmates and also wealthy, a few ten thousand meant nothing to them. So, Chen Feng acted the same way.

Since they planned to visit East Lake that afternoon, they avoided drinking alcohol and only focused on the meal.

The two women were very satisfied after tasting several signature dishes.

Chen Feng accompanied them, and after about an hour, they finished. Chen Feng went to settle the bill, totaling thirteen thousand, a bit less than he'd expected.

After leaving Fuman Building together, Chen Feng said, "Let's part here for now. I need to go home first, and then head to the company later."

Yu Xiaohui asked with a grievance, "Are you free tomorrow?"

Chen Feng shrugged, "Not sure. I might have to work in the company tomorrow."

Lou Xiaojiao rolled her eyes at him, "You don't want to hang out with us, fine, don't make such lame excuses."

Chen Feng smiled without arguing, just pointing towards East Lake, "East Lake is over there, you can see it, right? There are shared bikes, cycling around the lake is quite nice. You should give it a try."

"Thanks a lot. We'll go now. But remember to bring your girlfriend out tonight. I'll treat you to dinner."

Lou Xiaojiao waved at Chen Feng, pulled Yu Xiaohui, and they walked away first.
