And of course, he didn’t have the face or the courage to ask Chen Feng for a two hundred million loan upfront.
After a mont of silence, Tao Yaoyang finally refused: "Thank you for your kindness, but I don’t need it for now. If I do need it, I will ask you."
It’s not that Tao Yaoyang doesn’t want Chen Feng’s money, but he knows that Chen Feng cos from a strong background, and borrowing money from him would put a lot of pressure on him. It’s impossible to dodge repaynt.
Moreover, he couldn’t just borrow this money for one month, even conservatively estimating it would take three to four months. According to standard private interest rates, it wouldn’t be low.
Also, in case he can’t repay on ti in the future, soone like Chen Feng with a strong background has all sorts of ways to deal with him. The potential risk is too high, making him feel like taking a high-interest loan that he could be trapped with.
This feeling is not good, so he refused.
He can borrow this money from others, including those businessn and speculators who are trying to curry favor with him.
Moreover, he can get money through so other private ans, quick money.
Tao Yaoyang didn’t borrow it, and Chen Feng didn’t care, saying lightly: "Alright! If you want to borrow it, you can contact anyti."
"Okay. We’ll leave it at that for now, let’s get together again next ti."
"Alright."
After hanging up, Chen Feng soon put Tao Yaoyang out of his mind, laying on a rocking chair, continuing to focus on reading an online novel.
In his right hand, he held his phone, while his left hand reached slightly for the side table, where there was an insulated cup filled with goji and chrysanthemum tea that Wu ngting bought, made with the best goji berries and chrysanthemum. It tasted quite good.
Life was so relaxed and comfortable, Chen Feng really liked this quiet lifestyle.
Unfortunately, after holding the phone for less than five minutes, he received a call from Liu Ying, which made him frown slightly.
In the end, he still answered.
"Is there sothing you need?" Chen Feng asked straightforwardly.
"Didn’t you see the ssage I sent you on WeChat?" Liu Ying asked with full grievance.
You can’t say she has a temper, she had sent him a WeChat ssage early in the morning, complaining that her mom was nagging all the ti at ho. Nagging about trusting the wrong person before, and now nagging her to find a job or to find a good man and remarry.
And ever since she brought Chen Feng to et her parents, her mom started to push for marriage, nagging like a broken record.
So... she wanted to move out and directly asked Chen Feng if she could move in with him.
Chen Feng saw the ssage but didn’t respond.
Thus, after painfully waiting for over three hours, feeling ntally tortured, she finally couldn’t take it anymore and called him directly.
"I saw it." Chen Feng admitted honestly and then straightforwardly said: "It’s not suitable for you to live here. If you really want to move out and want to live closer to , I can give you another villa in Red Villa Bay to live in. Anyway, it’s empty now, and I have no intention of renting it out."
"No, I want to live in No. 8 Villa." Liu Ying retorted irritably, "Why can that Sun Xiaorui live there?"
Upon hearing her tone, Chen Feng was displeased. He wouldn’t pamper her, not even for a woman he once liked.
He directly and unceremoniously said, "Liu Ying, don’t forget, you’re not my girlfriend yet. Also, first co, first served, understand? Little Rui has been with since last year, and you?"
"If we’re talking about first co, first served, I was the first. I was your classmate for four years in college. You started pursuing in freshman year..."
"Alright." Chen Feng interrupted her, "Is there any point in saying these things now? You talking about college just reminds of unpleasant experiences, which actually makes not like you."
"I’ve already apologized to you, what more do you want?" Liu Ying said with a sobbing tone.
"Your apology is too late, it’s been almost twelve years, right? You think it matters now? The harm you did to back then altered my perception and attitude toward won and relationships. Forget it, talking about it now is pointless. Anyway, you can’t live in No. 8 Villa, that’s it. Think it over and let know. It’s fine if you want to break up, we can just pretend we never reunited and nothing happened between us."
After saying that, Chen Feng hung up the phone. He had long lost the feelings he once had for Liu Ying during their college days, especially after a failed marriage. He could say he’s been hurt twice by two won he once liked.
Now, to genuinely like a woman again, even open up completely, that’s absolutely impossible.
Not investing in true feelings ans not getting hurt, the sa goes for both n and won.
One is that he’s past the age of being crazy for love, another is that now he has money, and as long as a man has money, could he lack won? With no shortage of won, what’s the point of talking about love? Lust is all that matters.
On the other end, Liu Ying burst into tears upon hearing such cold words from Chen Feng.
It’s not that she’s emotionally fragile, but because she’s already experienced emotional trauma once, and she values her relationship with Chen Feng greatly, one could even say it’s her lifeline for her current life and future. She wants to hold onto it tightly.
But clearly, things didn’t go as she imagined so beautifully, Chen Feng, although he had relations with her, rekindled old flas, and even went to et her parents, he never intended to consider her as a girlfriend, let alone engagent or marriage.
Now, he even rejected the basic demand for cohabitation, making her truly feel Chen Feng’s decisiveness and heartlessness towards her.
After painfully waiting for more than three hours, getting such a result, an emotional breakdown seed normal.
Chen Feng is now her lifeline, how could she possibly break up with Chen Feng? So, breaking up is absolutely not an option.
But if she wants to live with Chen Feng, move into No. 8 Villa, and Chen Feng disagrees, then the only choice left for her seems to be to live in another villa in Red Villa Bay.
As for continuing to live at ho, even if her parents don’t say anything, she doesn’t want to. After living in a big house abroad for years, she’s used to it, and having seen the luxury of the villas in Red Villa Bay, living back in her parents’ old neighborhood with over a decade of history, the psychological gap is just too much.
It’s just that she couldn’t imdiately move into the dream No. 8 Villa, she couldn’t put on airs in front of her aunt’s family, instead, she was directly told by Chen Feng that breaking up was an option, which naturally brought her imnse disappointnt.
After crying for a while, Liu Ying finally cald her emotions. Breakup was clearly not an option, and since she had already been with him, even her parents knew about Chen Feng’s existence, as well as her aunt’s side, there was no way she’d give up easily.
So, after quickly drafting in her mind, she called Chen Feng again.
Unfortunately, the call was dropped soon after, she bit her silver teeth slightly and dialed again. This ti, after a while, the call was finally answered.
"I’m sorry... sob, I’m sorry! Chen Feng, I was wrong. I know I hurt you back then, but you’ve hurt now too, can we call it even? If you think it’s not enough, you can punish anyti, I’m willing to accept any punishnt from you. But please don’t break up with , okay? You’re all I have now, I can’t be without you."
Oh co on! Hearing such lodramatic lines, Chen Feng couldn’t help but complain: "Alright! Do you think you’re filming a romance drama? Don’t give those cheesy lines."
"...Chen Feng, those are my true feelings." Liu Ying spoke with a heavy nasal tone, her voice laced with humility and timidity.
"So have you decided? Are you planning to continue living with your parents, or rent a place on your own, or live in the other villa in Red Villa Bay?"
"Can I really not live in No. 8 Villa?" Liu Ying asked in a weak voice.
"No." Chen Feng rejected coldly, his tone resolute.
"Alright then. I’ll live in the other villa."
"That’s the spirit. As long as you behave, I won’t treat you poorly. So that’s settled. You can move in anyti."
