Ye Feng was at a loss for words with this girl named Qiu Hong. He put away his phone and remained silent.

"Yanyan, how about I treat you all to a late-night snack?" Li Qiuhong suddenly suggested.

"Brother Feng, what do you think?" Luo Yan didn't agree immediately and turned to seek Ye Feng's opinion.

"If you want to, let's go!" Ye Feng was feeling a bit hungry too.

"Let's go, let's grab a late-night snack." The group then headed across the street towards where the car was parked.

When they saw the Lexus, Li Qiuhong showed a hint of surprise.

"Get in!" Ye Feng called out cheerfully, and they all got in the car and sped away.

This time, Li Qiuhong gave directions and led them to a decent barbecue stall.

The three of them feasted heartily until eleven o'clock, then happily paid the bill and left.

Li Qiuhong didn't ask Ye Feng to drive her back, and Ye Feng didn't insist. After saying their goodbyes, he and Luo Yan went home.

Back home, after washing up, just as Ye Feng was about to rest, he received a message on his phone.

"Brother Feng, are you home yet?" followed by a playful emoji.

It was from Li Qiuhong.

This girl, what is she up to?

Li Qiuhong had left a good impression on Ye Feng by speaking up when Luo Yan was most helpless.

"Just got home, about to sleep!" After pondering for a moment, Ye Feng replied politely.

As soon as he sent the message, another notification sounded.

It was almost an instant reply.

"Then rest early, see you tomorrow, goodnight!"

She had arranged with Luo Yan to go shopping at Liancheng Mall tomorrow, and Ye Feng had agreed to join them.

"Goodnight!" Ye Feng typed this word and sent them over.

The reply came almost instantly again, with a moon emoji for Ye Feng.

Ye Feng decided not to reply anymore.

Returning to the contacts list, his gaze fell on the name Little Biscuit.

The message he sent still had no reply; perhaps the other person no longer used Feixin.

Or maybe they simply didn't want to reply to Ye Feng.

Ye Feng had initially wanted to send another message, but his fingers froze as he touched the screen.

Ye Feng sighed lightly, trembling slightly as he withdrew his stiff fingers, deciding against sending another message.

If the other person doesn't reply, regardless of the reason, sending another message would be redundant.

He thought of Liu Yingying, and those joyful memories from the past flooded his mind.

Many places in Liancheng City held their past, containing Ye Feng's happiest memories.

Back then, if it weren't for the Ye family's betrayal, he might have been married with children by now.

The mockery of fate left everything in ruins.

These are irretrievable pasts, and in this lifetime, he might never meet such a good girl again.

Thinking of this, Ye Feng felt melancholic, put down his phone, and decided to sleep to calm his mood.

But he tossed and turned, unable to sleep, with too many things weighing on his mind, especially his mother's death, which was an irreparable regret in his heart.

He thought of the Ye family, thought of Xiao Jun, and the intense feeling of revenge in his heart grew stronger.

It won't be long before you all pay the bloody price for what you did back then...

It wasn't until three o'clock that Ye Feng finally drifted off to sleep in exhaustion.

The next day, Ye Feng was woken up by a call from Luo Yan. When he checked the time, it was already ten o'clock.

He remembered that he had promised them last night to go shopping today.

He quickly got up, washed up, put on clothes, threw on a trench coat, and rushed out the door.

As soon as he reached the door, Luo Yan came bouncing over, pursing her lips, "Brother Feng, you woke up late. Qiu Hong has been urging us so many times."

"It's just after ten, not late at all, let's go!"

Ye Feng drove the Lexus straight to Liancheng Mall.

In the car, Luo Yan contacted Li Qiuhong, holding her phone and constantly tapping the screen to send messages.

Ye Feng went directly to the underground parking lot. Liancheng Mall had ample parking spaces, even during the busiest times of the year, there was never a problem finding a spot.

This showed that the planning here was very well done, providing high-quality service.

At this time, Li Qiuhong was already in the first-floor lobby. When she saw the two of them, she enthusiastically bounced over.

The two girls chatted away as they walked, and Ye Feng, being a man, couldn't get a word in, so he just followed behind as a bodyguard.

This shopping trip was different from the last. Last time, they specifically came to buy New Year's goods, so Luo Yan and Ye Feng went to the underground supermarket.

This time, with a companion, Luo Yan embraced her feminine nature and went straight to the third floor.

The third floor sold clothes, cosmetics, and some jewelry stores, which women of all ages loved.

Ye Feng didn't alert Zheng Guozhong this time. The day after tomorrow was the Yunfeng Group's board meeting, and he needed to make some thorough preparations.

"Qiu Hong, look, who is that? Doesn't she look like Xinyi?" Luo Yan stopped in her tracks, her gaze directed towards a store.

Li Qiuhong looked over, her expression strange and dismissive, "I thought she wouldn't be dressed in all brand names. Her family doesn't seem wealthy."

After last night's events, both Li Qiuhong and Luo Yan were extremely disgusted with Tu Xinyi, and their relationship had deteriorated rapidly.

Last night, not only did she not speak up for Luo Yan, but she also kept urging Luo Yan to agree to Wu Hao's request.

Just thinking about it was disgusting.

Ye Feng also looked over with interest, seeing Tu Xinyi dressed very provocatively in the luxurious store.

Her face was heavily made up, wearing high heels, and holding the arm of a plump, bald man, the two looked very intimate!

Ye Feng suddenly understood; she had clearly latched onto a wealthy man.

No wonder she was so snobbish and didn't have a good attitude towards Ye Feng last night.

"Shameless!" Li Qiuhong spat.

"Let's go in and take a look!" Li Qiuhong pulled Luo Yan, intending to go in.

Luo Yan hesitated, standing still, "Qiu Hong, isn't this a bit inappropriate?"

Luo Yan was soft-hearted. Such things were generally not something people wanted to be seen doing. After all, they had been classmates for years, and Luo Yan wanted to leave her some dignity.

Li Qiuhong, puffing with anger, said, "You should think about how she talked about you last night."

"You, you're just too soft-hearted."

Ye Feng thought Li Qiuhong was right; Tu Xinyi's words last night were excessive, but he also knew Luo Yan was soft-hearted.

So he didn't say anything, just watched quietly from the side.

Just as the three were about to leave, Tu Xinyi inside noticed them.

Her face immediately showed panic, hurriedly letting go of the old man's hand. At that moment, she wished she could find a hole to crawl into.

Qiu Hong's expression was strange. Since they had already been spotted, there was no point in leaving. It was better to face it openly.

After all, it wasn't like they had done anything shameful.

She immediately pulled Luo Yan, stepped into the store, and said to Tu Xinyi, "Xinyi, what a coincidence!"
