CHAPTER 549: CHAPTER 305: CHARACTER DETERMINES DESTINY_2

One reason for her actions was, of course, curiosity, but mainly, she wanted to find a suitable partner to remarry because after coming back to her country, besides a few thousand US Dollars from her ex-husband, she had nothing.

Moreover, she wasn’t very old, had no children to burden her, and was quite beautiful. Looking for someone with a certain emotional foundation, whom they both understood would undoubtedly be more suitable among former classmates.

Unlike primary or middle school, university classmates were more worth her attention. After all, being in the same class for four years, and able to get into Technology University, they undoubtedly had a high IQ, decent education, and common topics with her.

Otherwise, marrying a Beautiful Country "study abroad" girl to those nouveau riche without any education or culture, she definitely wouldn’t be willing.

So, university classmates, including people she met during university, alumni, etc., were all within her selection and investigation range.

After some understanding and screening, to be honest, she was quite disappointed because basically, they didn’t meet her criteria for remarriage, primarily because their wealth was quite far from her ideal standards.

Through her inquiries and indirect understanding, among the twenty-something guys in her class, the wealthiest probably had only tens of millions, which was a second-generation rich kid whose family had a factory; the business was doing well. But that was run by his parents, so this wealth belonged to his family, not him personally, and his parents were living well.

Besides, this rich kid looked very average and didn’t have much ability. After graduating from university, he was helping out in his family factory, and he was also divorced, carrying around a child who was a few years old.

If this rich classmate could fully take over his family’s factory, she could consider it.

Even if he didn’t plan to settle down in Xiu Zhou, she was willing to marry outside again; anyway, she was already married abroad, marrying to another place wouldn’t count for much.

When he found out she was divorced and back home single, this rich classmate did get in touch with her specially, sending her messages every day, caring about her warmly, with very clear intentions.

Even though Liu Ying had already mentally ruled him out, she didn’t entirely kill the hope, still keeping him hanging a bit from time to time, not giving him too much hope but also not letting him completely despair regarding her.

Besides this rich classmate, another person she somewhat considered was a senior, two years ahead of her. When she first entered the school, he happened to be in charge of welcoming the freshmen, and they got acquainted.

Later, Liu Ying joined the student council, so they did have some interaction. She still remembered that the senior clearly had an interest in her back then, but because he already had a girlfriend at the time, Liu Ying was quite conservative, so she didn’t respond.

This senior was quite a campus star back in university; during his school days, he started a business on campus, opening a rice noodle franchise store, and the business was very booming. It was said that during his three years of school, he earned at least two million.

After graduating, he directly started a catering company, developing his own dining brand, including his own rice noodle brand, which did very successfully. It was said that he recruited over a hundred franchisees, and their company’s rice noodle shops were all over the country. Having assets worth over a billion is certainly true.

Unfortunately, this senior married early and now has two kids. She could meddle as a third party, but there are too many variables, and the success rate wouldn’t be high.

So, this could only be a backup option; if no suitable alternative presents itself, for her happiness, she might just have to find this senior and give it a try.

Of course, it’s best not to make this choice. She wouldn’t want to be labeled as a home wrecker.

Later, she managed to inquire about the situation of some high school male classmates, among whom there were two who seemed accomplished, but they both married early and already have children.

Having no other choice, she had to accept the blind date arranged by her family; that day, she went with her mom to her aunt’s house as guests because her aunt said she wanted to introduce someone to her, so they went there.

Later, standing by the window at her aunt’s house, she saw Chen Feng finishing his morning run, walking into the most expensive villa at Red Villa Bay — Villa No. 8.

For her at that time, this really was a turning point in her life. Chen Feng, who seemed ordinary in the class, was unexpectedly so well-hidden.

In the class, the deepest impression Chen Feng gave everyone was his somewhat handsome looks, and probably the incident during freshman year when he failed to pursue her, the class beauty, and was humiliated in front of the entire class.

Apart from that, Chen Feng hadn’t displayed any outstanding performance in school. His academic performance was average, and he failed some subjects. As for his personality, he was neither cold nor warm to people, always keeping a certain distance.

So, although everyone in the class knew him, he was not very well-liked. Besides having good relations with a few limited classmates, the rest were just pure classmate relationships.

But looking from today’s perspective, Chen Feng actually had already demonstrated his distinctive side back then, at least appearing very composed.

Therefore, now having earned so much money on his own, in Liu Ying’s view, this entirely reflects his personal ability, resultant from his steady nature.

Character determines destiny. Chen Feng’s personality back then wasn’t lacking.

It’s a pity she didn’t recognize gold-studded jade, missing out in vain. Now she can only try her best to remedy and recover.

Arranging this candlelight dinner tonight is an attempt, hoping to evoke Chen Feng’s feeling of love at first sight and infatuation with her back then.

Chen Feng wasn’t aware of these thoughts; he felt indifferent about her candlelight dinner arrangement. If possible, he preferred the lights on, brightening the room instead.

Upon hearing about university classmates, Chen Feng felt a little nostalgic and asked, "I remember we had a few couples in our class then. Did any of them make it in the end?"

"You really know nothing, don’t you? How were you as a classmate?" Liu Ying teased. "When Cao Li and Yuan Hua got married, didn’t you receive an invitation? I received one overseas."

Chen Feng, a bit awkwardly, said, "After graduating, because of work, I changed my phone number; my old QQ account got hacked, so I couldn’t get into the classmate group."

They graduated seven or eight years ago when they didn’t have WeChat; classmate groups were all QQ groups.

"I think you just didn’t want to keep in touch with university classmates. Otherwise, if you truly wanted to connect, apply for a new QQ account, then ask classmates to pull you back in the group, wouldn’t that work?"

Chen Feng couldn’t argue, only candidly admitting, "Alright. I didn’t want to stay in touch with them. You know I’m quite solitary and somewhat unsocial; back in class, I only had better relations with a few classmates like Zhang Kewei, and nothing deep with others. Plus, I’m rather annoyed by these social exchanges, so I simply didn’t keep in touch."
