17: Chapter 17 Shen Qin's Regret
At the entrance of The Hospital.
Chen Feng said with a cold expression, "Don't come bother my parents ever again, and don't tell anyone else that we are boyfriend and girlfriend! We have already broken up, don't make me look down on you!"
"Chen Feng, let's get back together."
Shen Qin grabbed his arm, looking pleading, "I was wrong, I was really wrong, I shouldn't have broken up with you! It was all Wang Hai; if he hadn't seduced me, I would never have broken up with you! Let's get back together, I will definitely treat you well from now on! We'll get married after we graduate!"
Ever since Wang Hai lost his job, she had no way back.
Now, her only hope was to win Chen Feng's forgiveness so she could live the life she wanted.
"Get back together?"
Chen Feng shoved her away and sneered, "Do you think I don't know? If I didn't have money, if the car I drove wasn't this pagani, would you still have the nerve to come crawling back to me?!"
"No, it's not like that!"
Shen Qin shook her head vigorously.
"Do you take me for a fool?"
Chen Feng became increasingly cold toward her, "How did I treat you before? I spent almost all of my monthly living expenses on you! Your phone, your clothes—which of them didn't I buy for you? And look at you! You thought you found a rich man and wanted to dump me! And now you want to get back together? You're dreaming! From now on, I, Chen Feng, am someone you will never be good enough for!"
"I..."
Shen Qin was tongue-tied. She simply didn't know how to refute him.
That's right! He now has a billion in savings and is handsome. He even drives a luxury car. And what does she have?
Watching Chen Feng's retreating back, Shen Qin collapsed onto the ground. One wrong step, and every step after was wrong!
Returning to The Hospital room, Chen Feng told his parents about what had happened between the two of them.
His mother looked surprised, "You mean, Xiao Qin only broke up with you to be with a corporate executive? Then why does she want to get back together with you now?"
"Because your son is rich now."
Chen Feng plopped down onto a chair, "Mom, Dad, there's another thing I need to discuss with you. I won 90 million on the lottery a couple of days ago, so you don't have to farm in the countryside anymore. Come to the city with me; I'll buy a house in the city for you to live in! From now on, you don't have to do anything, just wait to enjoy life!"
"What?" His parents were stunned for a moment, clearly somewhat skeptical about the truth of this statement.
His mother had a dark look on her face as she pointed at Chen Feng's head, "Are you daydreaming? Do you really think it's that easy to win the lottery? Besides, your father and I can at least make some money farming in the countryside. If we go to the city with you, what will we eat and drink?"
"I really am rich." Chen Feng knew that no matter what he said, they wouldn't believe him. After all, winning tens of millions is something the average person doesn't really encounter.
He quickly took out his phone and logged into his bank account, "See for yourselves, this is the money I have in my card now! Not only did I win 90 million! I also borrowed money to buy a plot of land three years ago, and now, with one flip, I made a billion!"
"Let me see." His mother took the phone and carefully counted the numbers on the account.
In their entire lives, the most money they had ever seen was a little over 100,000. They had never really seen assets worth hundreds of millions.
She counted for a long time but seemed unable to count it clearly. She handed the phone to his father, "You count it. There are too many numbers on here; it isn't fake, is it?"
"It shouldn't be fake; this is an official bank account." His father took the phone. He counted it ten times in a row before finally confirming the amount on it.
"The total amount is 1.127 billion!" His hand was shaking, and his expression became very grave, "Fengzi, where did this money come from..."
"Don't worry." Chen Feng said with conviction, "These can all be traced. Your son is a college graduate, after all; how could I do anything illegal!"
"So much money!" His mother gasped.
In her mind, this money was just a number; she had no accurate concept of it. It was just a lot. They couldn't earn that much in ten lifetimes of farming!
It took a long time for his father to come back to his senses. Although he appeared very calm on the surface, he was incredibly excited inside. That's right! His son is so rich now, why would he still need to farm?!
He climbed off the bed abruptly, not caring about the wound on his leg. His mother stared with wide eyes, "Where are you going?"
"Going home to chat with Old Chen from the village." His father said while putting on his shoes, "Damn it, that Old Chen shows off every day about how successful his son is. Buying a car today, a house tomorrow, and getting a wife the day after. He's made me so angry I'm about to get internal injuries! Now that our son is successful, I have to go annoy him!"
"Alright, alright, what's there to show off!" His mother rolled her eyes. Then she looked at Chen Feng and said, "Your father and I won't go to the city. We've lived in the countryside our whole lives. We're used to life here. If we go to the city, we won't know anyone. We wouldn't be used to it!"
"Alright then." Chen Feng was also very helpless. Since his parents didn't want to go, he couldn't force them. After all, they had lived in the countryside for decades and were used to the neighbors around them. Changing to a new environment would be hard for them to adapt to.
"Let's not talk about that for now. Dad should be able to be discharged from The Hospital. I'll go pay the bill, and then we'll go home in a bit."
Chen Feng arrived at the payment counter of The Hospital. His father really only had superficial injuries, and the total cost on the medical bill was only 500 yuan.
When passing the consultation desk in the lobby, he happened to see that nurse again; the name on her badge was Cheng Shuangshuang.
He thought for a moment, then walked over with a calm expression, "Ms. Cheng, may I ask you something?"
"Sure." Cheng Shuangshuang was still in a good mood. However, when she heard that form of address, she pouted slightly and said softly, "You'd better just call me Shuangshuang; my colleagues all call me that."
"Shuangshuang, among the injured from the landslide this morning, was there a celebrity named Xu Qingcheng? How is her condition?"
Chen Feng was a bit curious. He had clearly participated in this matter. Why hadn't the system given him a reward yet? Could it be... indirect participation doesn't count?! After all, this matter was relayed through his parents. If it really didn't count, wouldn't that be a huge loss!
"Shh! Shh!" Cheng Shuangshuang covered his mouth. She quickly looked around and, realizing no one had noticed their conversation, she breathed a sigh of relief.
She lowered her voice and said, "You, keep your voice down. If others find out, we're done for!"
"What's wrong?" Chen Feng was slightly taken aback.
"What do you mean, 'what's wrong'!" Cheng Shuangshuang said with annoyance, "Xu Qingcheng is a celebrity. The old men and Old Madam Ouyang over at Phoenix Mountain might not know her, but there are still many young people here at The Hospital. If Xu Qingcheng's whereabouts were revealed, wouldn't her fans surround The Hospital until it was packed tight!"
"This..." Chen Feng looked embarrassed. Actually, when she was brought in this morning, many medical staff had seen her. Seeing Cheng Shuangshuang's nervous appearance, he smiled faintly and didn't say anything more.
