After my divorce, I started to have good luck-Chapter 779 - 421: A Clear Conscience_2

"Now that you're getting wealthier, your standards for women might be getting higher as well. Even a remarkable woman like Mengting finds it hard to capture your heart. It seems men really do become bad when they have money. With your situation, I don't know if it's right or wrong, good or bad. All I can advise is to try and live with a clear conscience."

Chen Feng nodded with a wry smile.

The phrase "clear conscience" becomes increasingly difficult to achieve as one grows older.

Especially when your wealth increases, your responsibilities grow, and your circle of acquaintances expands, to truly live with a clear conscience becomes almost impossible.

In the afternoon, since Sun Xiaorui had to work, they only stayed at Qin Zhen's place for about an hour after lunch before Chen Feng bid farewell and left with her.

Because Chen Feng had been drinking, Sun Xiaorui drove them back. Chen Feng asked her impression of Pei Lei, and she said that Pei Lei had a great personality and was easy to get along with.

Taking the opportunity, Chen Feng mentioned Pei Lei's history of depression, something he had gotten Qin Zhen's prior consent to disclose. The goal, of course, was to encourage Sun Xiaorui to look out for Pei Lei more in the future.

Upon hearing about Pei Lei's depression, Sun Xiaorui was quite surprised: "She seems so cheerful to me, joking and laughing, you can't tell she has depression at all. Is this true? Are you pulling my leg?"

Chen Feng shook his head and said seriously, "I'm not kidding. Depression isn't apparent from the outside. Many depression sufferers laugh and seem optimistic when interacting with others, but when they're alone, they can become gloomy and even have thoughts of self-harm.

However, since Pei Lei got together with Qin Zhen, the two of them living together, she hasn't shown any symptoms of depression. But such a condition is hard to completely cure and may accompany someone for their entire life. When feeling low, it can easily recur.

You know about Qin Zhen's job; he can seldom stay by her side. Moreover, she's from Sichuan Province and has no relatives or friends here, so she really needs more friends, especially close ones. That's why I hope you can befriend her and interact frequently.

During holidays, you can often invite her to go shopping and eat delicious food, or even travel out of town together."

Sun Xiaorui agreed without hesitation, "Alright. I don't have many friends here either. I think Pei Lei is very easy to get along with, and I'd love to be friends with her. I'll hang out with her often." She then sighed, "Qin Zhen really treats her well, not minding her depression. That's true love."

Chen Feng hadn't yet told her that Pei Lei's biological mother had a genetic mental illness, otherwise, Sun Xiaorui would certainly have been even more touched.

Chen Feng nodded with a smile, "It is indeed true love. They've already planned to get engaged during China's National Day. If you and she establish a good relationship, then join me in attending their engagement party. When they get married, you can be her bridesmaid, and I'll be Qin Zhen's best man."

Sun Xiaorui instantly became quite envious: "Pei Lei is really lucky to have found someone as outstanding as Qin Zhen. She's sure to be happy in the future."

Chen Feng agreed as well, "She's truly fortunate, but it's more about luck. Qin Zhen met her abroad, during the trip when I accompanied him to the Red Demon Country, and they slowly got closer. Even in such a distant place, they managed to cross paths, and both of them ended up working and living here in Xiu Zhou. Truly, it's fate bringing them together from far apart. They indeed share a deep bond."

"Their meeting is really amazing and full of fate. I also believe in fate; wasn't it fate when we first met?"

Reflecting on how they met, Chen Feng couldn't help but blurt out, "I remember you were the one who approached me, right? If we're talking about fate, it was actually you who made it happen. It's not that magical."

Back then, Chen Feng had just come into some money and was splurging on clothes at high-end stores, where Sun Xiaorui was a sales clerk at one such store.

Initially, Chen Feng had no intention towards her, barely had an impression. As he was about to leave after shopping, Sun Xiaorui chased after him, catching up in the elevator. That's how they got acquainted and ended up together.

To Chen Feng, it seemed mostly a matter of human effort—Sun Xiaorui saw his wealth, hoping to connect with him, with fate playing only a minor role; it was a chance Sun Xiaorui seized. To insist it was fate might be somewhat far-fetched.

Sun Xiaorui quickly gave Chen Feng a sidelong glance. After thinking for a moment, she couldn't resist saying softly, "Back then, it was because I actively wanted to meet you. You might always think that our first meeting was at the mall. But in fact, we had met before that.

About two months before we met at the mall, I once took a bus ride when it was crowded, and I was standing. A middle-aged man in his forties or fifties was intentionally bumping into me. I was so angry I was about to shout, but then you appeared and offered me your seat, even positioning yourself in front of the man to shield me. At that moment, I was very grateful and had a deep impression of you. Unfortunately, you didn't really look at me and hurried off the bus after just a couple of stops.

I thought we might never meet again, but almost a month later, I saw you again. That time was on the street when an elderly man fell off his bicycle, with the bike pinning him down. Many people dared not help, but you happened to be passing by and asked the crowd to take videos as evidence, took a video yourself, and then went forward to lift the elderly man. My impression of you deepened further then.

By the time we met in the mall, it was actually the third encounter. So… I gathered the courage to catch up with you and formally introduced myself. Because I felt if I missed the third chance, I might miss you forever. So we do have a kind of fate, too."

Hearing this, Chen Feng was taken aback. If things were indeed as Sun Xiaorui described, then they really did have quite the fate.

Recalling carefully, he was a bit uncertain about the first incident on the bus, but he distinctly remembered helping the fallen elderly man in the street; he had never mentioned this to anyone before, including his ex-wife Shen Lin, let alone Wu Mengting and Sun Xiaorui.

So even if the first instance wasn't true, the second definitely was.

This was indeed quite magical!

Qiu Xiang won Tang Bohu's heart with three laughs, while it was three encounters that sealed the bond between Sun Xiaorui and him.
