Chapter 1381 717: Let's See How Long You Can Stay Arrogant

Just a few days ago, Sun Yanhong broke up with Li Zeshun. Despite his pleas and cries, it was no use. Sun Yanhong seemed cold-hearted and really intended to end things with him.

He was in a terrible mood those days, so he needed to vent.

So, relying on his handsome looks, the money he earned from Sun Yanhong, and driving an Audi, he easily hooked up with a fairly attractive sophomore. He first invited her for some spicy hotpot, and then they got a room together.

Such things are common on modern university campuses. Everyone's an adult, and mutual consent is perfectly normal.

Li Zeshun obviously didn't expect any backlash; the girl was open-minded. It was just a mutual fling.

But unexpectedly, she had a boyfriend. It would have been fine if she just had a boyfriend, but he found out about Li Zeshun getting a room with her.

Her boyfriend got cheated on; how could he tolerate being cuckolded by Li Zeshun?

So, he gathered some people, cornered Li Zeshun, and gave him a good beating.

Li Zeshun could retaliate, but the other party wasn't easy to deal with. The ringleader who beat him was that sophomore's boyfriend. He was from the Mechanical Department of the Technology College and the vice president of the Taekwondo club. All the people who surrounded Li Zeshun were from that club.

More importantly, this guy was a local from Xiu Zhou. Although not very wealthy, his family was generously connected, had extensive social ties, and had a good relationship with the college's teachers and leaders. He was somewhat famous at Technology College, and many people knew him.

Seeing the other party's status, Li Zeshun chickened out. Moreover, he wasn't in the right. Sleeping with someone else's girlfriend and getting beaten up were just desserts.

Therefore, Li Zeshun had to endure this beating for now.

Once he won back the favor of his wealthy girlfriend, Sun Yanhong, it would be easy to deal with that guy with her backing.

Besides, his immediate priority wasn't to clash with the guy who cuckolded him again but to deal with Chen Feng, his rival in love.

However, with his face bruised and body aching, it was too difficult to gather people to corner Chen Feng. He had to wait until he recovered before figuring out a way to confront Chen Feng.

...

Chen Feng had no idea that he suddenly had a love rival who harbored ill intentions towards him and wanted to confront him.

For someone like him, who was almost a hermit, it was really hard for the opponent to corner him.

He hardly ever went out, and even if he did, he would drive straight away.

Li Zeshun didn't even know what car he drove. How could he possibly corner him?

After bringing home the sponge cake that Sun Yanhong made, he immediately started eating it.

He wasn't worried about Sun Yanhong poisoning him or anything because, with her being a wealthy woman worth at least billions, it was unnecessary. Besides, wasn't she pursuing him now?

Sun Yanhong, as a pursuer, was just like countless followers, trying her best to please the one being pursued. Making egg cakes and sponge cakes for him was part of the plan.

Additionally, although Chen Feng found Sun Yanhong somewhat annoying, he never felt malice from her.

Ever since he started absorbing the intangible energy from the turtle shell's calligraphy, his intuition had been spot on, like a sixth sense for danger.

If anyone had malicious intent against him and faced him, he would definitely feel it.

So, he ate the sponge cake without any worries.

After cutting the round cake in half, he found it was filled with walnuts, raisins, and red beans. Taking a bite, it wasn't very sweet, but it had an excellent texture and was delicious — almost as good as the ones sold in his hometown, Lu City.

Chen Feng was quite surprised to learn that Sun Yanhong had such skills. He even wondered if she really made the sponge cake herself.

But the cake was still warm, so unless she had specially hired a sponge cake master to come to her home, it must have been made by her own hands.

Chen Feng felt she wasn't lying to him, and it was quite likely she made it herself.

Thinking about how delicious this sponge cake was, and recalling the egg cake she last sent, Chen Feng regretted not tasting it and letting Sun and Wu throw it away.

Chen Feng ate more than half the sponge cake before stopping. It wasn't that he couldn't finish it but that he planned to leave some for Sun and Wu.

The sponge cake was indeed well-made, making Chen Feng view Sun Yanhong in a slightly better light. This was obviously Sun Yanhong's intention.

One could only say that this woman was really smart, trying to get closer to him by sending food.

Chen Feng immediately took a photo of the sponge cake and sent it to Wu Mengting via WeChat.

Soon, Wu Mengting replied with a question mark and then asked: "Where did you get this sponge cake? Is it sold in Xiu Zhou?"

"It was given by Sun Yanhong. She said she made it herself. It tastes pretty good, and I've saved some for you. You can try it when you get back."

"Thanks, bro. We'll come back to have lunch together."

"Okay."

After this brief exchange, Chen Feng went on to read novels and watch videos.

Meanwhile, three women, including Wu Mengting, were shopping in a large mall. As the weather turned colder, they wanted to buy clothes for the change of seasons.

When the three of them entered a branded clothing store together, a middle-aged couple was just choosing clothes.

When Zhou Qianru saw these two, her expression changed slightly, and she hesitated over whether to turn around and avoid them. But the couple had already spotted her.

The middle-aged woman immediately smiled and greeted her, "Qianru, what a coincidence, you're here to buy clothes too?"

Zhou Qianru had no choice but to slightly tighten her face and nod at her.

This middle-aged woman's name was Su Ruxue. Both of their names had the word "Ru," and they had known each other for many years. As children, they lived in the same courtyard, and their relationship was quite friendly. Later, they went to the same school for junior high, with her being a grade above Zhou Qianru.

But suddenly, one day, their relationship took a nosedive. The reason was simple: a boy she had a crush on in class actually asked her to pass a love letter to Zhou Qianru.

Ever since then, their relationship deteriorated rapidly.

Later, she went to high school, and Zhou Qianru moved with her father during her third year of junior high, and they lost contact.

Until she and Ma Wenjiang got married, and by a very chance encounter at a banquet, they met unexpectedly.

By then, Su Ruxue was already married to someone else, and had become a mother of two. Under Su Ruxue's proactive pursuit of friendship, they quickly buried the hatchet and became friends again.

But it was obvious that returning to the kind of feeling they had as children was impossible.

And the reason Su Ruxue actively courted her back then was that she knew she had become Ma Wenjiang's wife, so she deliberately wanted to be on good terms.

After that, their relationship seemed to have returned to their childhood, becoming close once more.

However, all of this changed completely after Ma Wenjiang was arrested.

Ma Wenjiang's incident was something Su Ruxue couldn't possibly not know. However, she didn't even give a consoling phone call or leave a message for her.
