“This… this is way too expensive! No, no! I can’t let you spend so much! Even if you have money, young people should still save a bit…”
Seeing Su Baihe’s reluctance, yet knowing it was out of concern for him, Xu Fei decided to make the choice for her and pick something relatively cheaper. Coincidentally, the apology money from Zhuang Ge and the others amounted to around 300,000 yuan.
“Then let’s go with this one. Wrap it up for me!”
Xu Fei pointed casually, and Su Baihe looked over to see that the chosen Guanyin jade pendant was priced at exactly 300,000 yuan!
“Sir, will you be paying by card or cash…”
Watching Xu Fei follow the staff to swipe his card, Wang Zhixian and her mother were deeply moved.
“I remember when Li Xiulan’s son-in-law bought her a fake bracelet worth tens of thousands, she was over the moon. If she finds out my jade Buddha is worth 300,000, she’ll be green with envy!”
Thinking of this, Su Baihe, who loved to compare herself to others, couldn’t help but cover her mouth and chuckle.
After finishing their shopping at Chunyang Jade City and seeing that it was about time, Wang Zhixian took her mother to the high-speed train station.
Watching the mother and son leave, Xu Fei felt as if a weight had been lifted off his shoulders.
“Goodness! Taking care of a fake mother-in-law is so exhausting. Thank goodness my own family isn’t this troublesome!”
Xu Fei shook his head with a smile as he drove back to Jiangbei University.
Soon, Xu Fei arrived at Jiangbei University and called Bai Feng on his phone.
Bai Feng had just finished her class, so Xu Fei took her out for a meal and mentioned during the meal.
“I’ve got some good news for you. I’ve taken care of that troublesome issue with your so-called friend Wang Zhixian. Are you happy now?”
Hearing this, Bai Feng was naturally thrilled and quickly nodded.
“Of course, I’m happy! But… did she say anything else to you afterward?”
Xu Fei was a bit confused by the question. He figured Wang Zhixian was probably still at the train station, and since he was still her fake boyfriend when they parted, there wasn’t really any reason for her not to speak to him.
So Xu Fei casually shook his head and said.
“No, why do you ask?”
Bai Feng’s expression did seem to darken for a moment, but it passed quickly.
Besides, Xu Fei was genuinely hungry by then, so his attention shifted to the food, and he missed that subtle change.
After the meal, Bai Feng went back to class, and Xu Fei was about to leave when he received another call from Wang Zhixian.
“Hey, where are you? My mom has gone back, and I really need to thank you properly!”
Receiving this call, Xu Fei thought he had finally done a good deed and managed to change Wang Zhixian, who was usually so calculating.
Naturally, his mood improved, and he immediately replied.
“Really? Since you’re so insistent, I won’t refuse, but let’s skip the meal. I just ate with Bai Feng.”
Xu Fei’s simple statement made Wang Zhixian’s heart burn with resentment on the other end of the line.
“Eating with that b*tch Bai Feng again? Why not with me!”
But Wang Zhixian couldn’t let it show, so she continued speaking into the phone.
“Since you’ve already eaten, then… how about we go somewhere else to hang out?”
After hanging up, Xu Fei received a text with an address and drove over accordingly.
