Chapter 586: Chapter 324 Pursuing High-Quality Men
Han Shipei dreams of having a wealthy and generous man like Chen Feng, but unfortunately, after all these years, she never achieved that.
There were a few seemingly decent men before; besides the rich second generation, the one she remembers the most was a middle-aged man in his forties. At the time, she was just a freshman, and she met him during an off-campus activity.
Though she had some little tricks up her sleeve, she was ultimately too inexperienced to be a match for that middle-aged man.
Under the impressive talk of that man, along with various persuasive and seductive tactics, after two meals, she ended up in a hotel room with him, almost without realizing.
It was her first time, and though she regretted it afterwards, it was too late.
Afterwards, the middle-aged man made all sorts of promises and sweet talk, and the next day, he gave her a brand-name bag, claiming it was genuine smuggled goods from abroad, worth over sixty thousand. She was just a young girl from a small county and was easily fooled by him, naively believing the bag was real. Every time she went out shopping, she carried it with her, taking great care of it.
Until one day, the bag started to peel, which made her suspicious. She took it to a boutique to have it authenticated and only then discovered it was a fake.
During this time, she had been with that middle-aged man for over a month. He treated her to seven or eight meals, with only the first two meals at slightly upscale places, and later just regular restaurants, with total expenses not exceeding two thousand yuan.
Besides the fake brand-name bag and the hotel expenses he covered.
However, other than the first two times, which were at a three-star hotel, the rest were just at budget hotels near her school.
Her giving, of course, was much greater; she not only sacrificed a woman’s most precious thing but also helped him top up phone bills and data charges multiple times and bought him high-grade cigarettes a few times, totaling nearly a thousand yuan.
In the end, when she tearfully questioned the man why he deceived her, at first he tried to justify himself and muddle through, and when that failed, he became angry and called her a gold-digger who deserved to be cheated and said he was doing a good deed by providing her with early social education, correcting her materialistic views, hoping she would become a self-respecting girl in the future.
She could never forget the sickening, hypocritical look of that man, even now she sometimes had nightmares about him and would wake up in the middle of the night.
Her transformation into who she is today could be mainly attributed to that detestable man.
Nevertheless, she didn’t think her current self was bad; playing with several men at a time, toying with them at her fingertips, she felt a sense of accomplishment.
But often, when she was alone, she found everything dull, and nothing could pique her interest.
After all, the men surrounding her weren’t her ideal type, not the kind she wanted.
Deep down, she still longed to encounter her Prince Charming; not asking for handsomeness or wealth, but as long as he wasn’t ugly, had enough money, and was generous, that would suffice.
Like Chen Feng whom she encountered now; his wealth was undoubtedly enough, and he was generous, directly buying that woman a watch worth 280,000.
According to what Little Dan mentioned before, this woman might be one of the mistresses he supported.
This made Han Shipei quite envious; oh, if only she had met a man like Chen Feng during her freshman year for her first time.
Why couldn’t she have the luck of that woman?
Han Shipei felt both envious and emotional while looking at the 280,000 watch on her wrist, growing more fond and satisfied the more she looked at it, but she knew she couldn’t afford it, nor could the second standby man who intentionally kept nearly two meters behind her.
Ultimately, Han Shipei could only reluctantly say she’d think about it, then had the sales assistant take off the watch. The second standby man sighed in relief at this, stepping forward to ingratiate: "Shall we go sit at Starbucks?"
Han Shipei gave him a sidelong look, instantly feeling uninterested.
This backup worked at a foreign trade company, earning about seven thousand a month, but he spent nearly three thousand monthly on rent, and with other necessary expenses, not much could be saved monthly.
She didn’t answer, said nothing, and simply walked out of the watch shop.
The second backup hurried after her, chatting on incessantly, making her increasingly irritated.
Finally, unable to bear it, she stopped and said to him, "I want to be alone for a while; could you stop following me, please?"
"Shipei, what’s wrong? You were fine earlier."
The second backup man asked this, but inside, he knew. It was obvious Han Shipei fancied that watch earlier, but the price, 280,000, was beyond their reach.
Han Shipei took a deep breath. Initially, she wanted to keep this second backup hanging, but now she found it unnecessary. He was too annoying, and, asking questions he already knew the answers to, besides, he wasn’t a source for any substantial benefits.
Plus, she had just witnessed Chen Feng generously buying that woman a luxury watch. Her comparison of the two added to the feeling of injury.
She decided from now on to pursue quality in men, not quantity.
"Alright then. I’ll be blunt with you. We’re not suitable for each other, please stop bothering me in future. Let’s block each other."
The second backup’s face changed dramatically at her words and hurried to hold her hand, pleading: "Shipei, please give me a chance. I truly like you a lot. If you agree to be my girlfriend, I’ll treat you well for the rest of my life."
"Let go of me! Or I’ll call the police," Han Shipei threatened coldly.
He released his grip immediately upon hearing that.
Han Shipei was even more disappointed in the backup, who was both timid and poor. She regretted her initial decision to choose him as a backup.
At the same time, she secretly regretted her previous decision.
Han Shipei quickly left, while the second backup stood there, dejected, not pursuing her.
...
After buying the watch with Jin Xinyan, Chen Feng initially planned to wander some more, but he didn’t have the patience to continue and outright opposed it.
Jin Xinyan had no choice but to leave the mall with Chen Feng, and they went to East Lake Villa. Chen Feng was a bit frustrated because Jin Xinyan was on her period today and could only help him by other means.
However, her skills were clearly lacking, leaving Chen Feng in a very awkward position without satisfaction.
They stayed together at East Lake Villa for more than an hour when Jin Xinyan received a call from Du’er, inviting her to go shopping.
Jin Xinyan was obviously tempted; Chen Feng, having heard, thought of returning to Red Villa Bay to find Liu Ying or Sun Xiaorui, so he encouraged her to go shopping with Du’er and the others.
