After my divorce, I started to have good luck

Chapter 1208 634: Colluding to Scam Me

After dinner, Guo Mengyao wanted to pull Chen Feng to the balcony to gaze at the moon and enjoy the city's night view.The balcony had a double bench prepared especially for couples, and tonight's weather was perfect, with a bright, high, full moon beautifully illuminating the night.

The Mid-Autumn Festival was just around the corner, a time when the moon was unusually large and round.

Unfortunately, Chen Feng wasn't in the mood to do this with her and unromantically declined, saying he had to rush home that night.

This left Guo Mengyao rather depressed, and she found herself helpless against Chen Feng's lack of romantic interest.

She'd tried both soft and hard approaches before, but Chen Feng was adamant about not officially dating her, let alone getting married.

Another thing that frustrated her was that her parents used to approve of Chen Feng, but now her mom was firmly against her continuing the relationship with him, likely influenced by her mom's covert persuasion and defamation of Chen Feng. Her dad, possibly influenced by her mom's undermining, also seemed indifferent and dismissive of Chen Feng as a prospective son-in-law, no longer actively suggesting meetings with him or urging for marriage.

With no parental support and Chen Feng's playboy nature as a "potential son-in-law," her desire to ultimately marry him seemed even more bleak.

Guo Mengyao could only follow Chen Feng downstairs in low spirits, likely to part ways with him right at the entrance of the couples' restaurant.

Chen Feng, leading the way, politely went to the cashier to pay the bill. Over 800 yuan, which initially didn't seem expensive, but considering the small portion sizes of each dish, it really lacked cost-effectiveness.

Anyone who'd been here once, with any common sense, wouldn't frequently come back to spend money here.

It's not about being expensive, but about whether it's worth it.

Even with a fortune worth billions, Chen Feng couldn't shake off some of his old mindset, feeling like spending here was not worthwhile.

The two of them walked out of the hotel and headed to the large parking area below.

Neither said a word, Chen Feng didn't feel like talking, and Guo Mengyao was silently sulking.

After walking a short distance, the dim streetlight revealed a few people gathered at the parking lot.

As they got closer, it became clear that three men were surrounding two people, one of whom a burly man was hoisting up by his shirt collar.

Even though the streetlight wasn't very bright, Chen Feng immediately recognized the person being grabbed by the collar — Pu Fangye.

The well-endowed woman with long straight hair beside him was You Hairong.

Going back a few minutes, Pu Fangye was eagerly bringing You Hairong back to the hotel, when they had just reached the parking lot and suddenly a parked car's door opened, and three people stepped out.

Two of the men were very robust, with crew cuts, and the shorter one was bald but oozed a thuggish aura.

Clearly, these three were not to be messed with, and after a brief glance, Pu Fangye quickly averted his gaze and shut the mouth he'd been flirting with You Hairong just a moment ago.

He wanted to avoid trouble, but the three approached them directly, blocking their path and vaguely surrounding them.

"What are you guys doing? There are cameras here."

With You Hairong by his side, and known for his pride, plus feeling like he had some pull and connections in Lin Nan, Pu Fangye felt confident enough not to fear these three.

Thus, he spoke up quite firmly.

The short bald man, after sizing up Pu Fangye, smiled and asked, "Are you You Hairong's new paramour?"

Pu Fangye was taken aback, turning to see the pale, slightly trembling You Hairong by his side. It seemed these three were here for her.

You Hairong had to force herself to stay calm, "Brother Qiang, didn't we agree? Give me a few more days."

Bald Qiang laughed, "Girl, I already extended it by a week. Tonight is the last day. I called you several times, but you didn't pick up, so I had to come find you. It took me quite some time and effort. See, adding another 10,000 isn't unreasonable, right?"

Upon hearing that, You Hairong angrily replied, "My phone was on silent due to some matters, that's why I missed your calls. And, tonight is the last day, it's not dawn yet."

Brother Qiang's demeanor remained pleasant, shaking his head with a smile, "Of course, it's not considered dawn yet, but it's already past midnight, making it the next day. It's now precisely 12:07, and your account has become overdue again."

You Hairong gritted her teeth, "I promise I'll pay you back tomorrow."

"That's not gonna work." Brother Qiang shook his head again, "I already gave you a seven-day grace period, which was the maximum. Now that it's overdue, there's nothing I can do. Tonight, you must pay back 150,000 in full or we'll have to follow you home and then show up at your workplace tomorrow..."

"150,000!?" You Hairong exclaimed angrily, "I only owe over 90,000, not even reaching 100,000."

Brother Qiang chuckled, "Girl, it's not your first time being in debt. Don't you understand the rules of this game? You've been in debt for over two months, including interest. Plus, we spent resources, manpower, and effort to find you. It takes money. 150,000 is already with the zeros rounded down. Tonight, you must pay!"

Reaching the end, Bald Qiang's eyes glinted fiercely, his tone turning harsh.

You Hairong knew these people were ruthless, only recognizing money, and after a rough mental calculation, with the accruing interest, it'd be roughly 130,000. Adding the extra costs they mentioned, their quote of 150,000 wasn't unreasonable. She could only look pleadingly at Pu Fangye for help, softly begging, "Brother Ye, can you lend me 150,000 to pay off the debt first?"

Pu Fangye, who had been silent, furrowed his brows throughout the conversation. Seeing You Hairong ask him for 150,000, his face immediately dropped.

"You Hairong, I treated you as an old classmate, genuinely cared for you, but is it fun for you to pull this stunt on me? Are you taking me for a fool?"

"Brother Ye, what do you mean by that?"

You Hairong was a bit confused and didn't quite understand what he meant.

Pu Fangye sneered coldly, "What do I mean? Do I need to spell it out? Are you kidding me by setting me up with these three hoodlums, thinking I can't see through it?"

Pu Fangye certainly wasn't a fool; on the contrary, he was quite smart.

Initially, he wasn't quite sure whether You Hairong was in cahoots with these three until Brother Qiang's firm attitude pressured You Hairong to pay immediately, causing her to feign helplessness, leaving herself no choice but to ask him, who was nearby, for money.
