Li Shuangshuang's family also lives in Minghai, but their home is relatively closer to the suburbs.

On the way back, Li Shuangshuang's feelings were extremely complicated.

Thinking about her sharp and sarcastic manner last night, Li Shuangshuang felt extremely remorseful. She finally realized just how much people disliked her.

"Out of gas?"

As Lin Feng passed a gas station, he glanced at the fuel gauge and found that the tank was almost empty.

Subconsciously, Lin Feng drove the car into the gas station.

During a break from cheering, Li Shuangshuang mustered her courage and called out to Lin Feng again, "Brother-in-law, I..."

"What's wrong now?"

Lin Feng looked at Li Shuangshuang with suspicion: "Why are you making such a fuss, girl? Just take it when I tell you to."

"I...I wanted to apologize to you!"

Li Shuangshuang dared not look directly at Lin Feng.

"Apologize?"

Lin Feng was stunned.

"I'm sorry about what happened last night..."

Li Shuangshuang spoke sincerely, taking a deep breath.

"Harmful!"

Lin Feng chuckled to himself. Just then, a gas station attendant came over and put away the fuel nozzle.

"Six hundred in total, sir. How shall I pay?"

The gas station employee knocked on the car window and asked Lin Feng.

Lin Feng was taken aback, then realized he hadn't brought any money. He scratched his head, and under the strange gaze of the gas station employee, turned to Li Shuangshuang in the back seat: "Well, forget about the apology, just lend me six hundred yuan."

"..."

Li Shuangshuang opened her mouth wide in surprise, then couldn't help but burst out laughing.

What kind of person is this cousin-in-law?

He wouldn't even glance at something worth millions, yet he couldn't even afford six hundred yuan for gas?

Forcing herself to suppress a laugh, Li Shuangshuang took out her phone and paid for the gas.

"I'll have your cousin transfer it to you later!"

Lin Feng left a curt remark and drove away from the gas station with a dark expression on his face.

Li Shuangshuang kept her head down, scrolling through her phone, desperately pursing her lips. She didn't dare to respond to Lin Feng's words, afraid that she would burst out laughing again.

About forty minutes.

The entrance to the residential compound where the Li family lives in Haining District, Minghai City.

Lin Feng parked the car.

"arrive!"

Lin Feng said to Li Shuangshuang.

"Thank you, brother-in-law. Brother-in-law, how about... you come to my house for lunch?"

Li Shuangshuang was extremely grateful to Lin Feng and took the initiative to speak.

"Forget it, what if you end up fighting with your mom?"

Lin Feng still has a deep impression of the mother and daughter.

In short, Li Shuangshuang's cheeks flushed bright red, and she was so ashamed that she wanted to disappear.

Seeing Li Shuangshuang's appearance, Lin Feng made an excuse and said, "I have an appointment with your cousin, let's do it another time."

Just then, my phone rang.

"Lin Feng, where are you?"

The call connected, and it was Meng Qingyao calling.

"I'm taking Shuangshuang home; we're in Haining District now."

Lin Feng told the truth and handed the phone to Li Shuangshuang.

"Cousin...cousin..."

Li Shuangshuang's expression was incredibly complex. Last night she was at odds with Meng Qingyao, but now, facing Meng Qingyao again, she felt a completely different state of mind that defied description.

"Shuangshuang?"

Upon hearing Li Shuangshuang's voice, Meng Qingyao on the other end of the phone was clearly stunned.

"Qingyao, is there something you need?"

Lin Feng took his phone back and asked.

"Oh, it's like this. Today at the trade fair, several business owners I haven't worked with before invited me to dinner at Yu Rong Restaurant. Have you eaten yet?"

Meng Qingyao quickly realized what was happening and spoke up.

"No!"

Lin Feng said.

"That's perfect, you can come with me later."

Meng Qingyao said.

"Okay, send me your location and I'll be right there."

Lin Feng agreed without hesitation.

"Okay, I'll hang up now!"

Meng Qingyao responded and hung up the phone.

After hanging up the phone, Lin Feng looked at Li Shuangshuang and said, "See? I didn't lie to you. You can go back now. I'm going to find your cousin."

"Okay, but...brother-in-law, why don't you buy a long-sleeved shirt to cover up?"

Li Shuangshuang cautiously pointed to the teeth marks on Lin Feng's arm: "How are you going to explain this to your cousin?"

Lin Feng then noticed the teeth marks on his arm again, and his face instantly darkened: "Why didn't you say so earlier?"

"I……"

Li Shuangshuang looked aggrieved.

"Never mind, I'll think of something later."

Lin Feng waved his hand, ignoring Li Shuangshuang, turned on the navigation, and drove off according to the location sent by Meng Qingyao.

Watching the car gradually disappear into the distance, Li Shuangshuang was somewhat lost in thought.

Looking back on what happened this morning, it still feels like a dream, leaving me in a daze.

A few minutes later, when the car was completely out of sight, Li Shuangshuang carried the exquisite handbag into the residential area.

Both his father, Li Zuwang, and his elder brother, Li Zhiheng, had to work, so they were not at home.

When Li Shuangshuang opened the door, Meng Yun was lying on the sofa applying a face mask. Next to her was a middle-aged woman, whom Li Shuangshuang also recognized. She was Meng Yun's best friend, named Song Wei.

"You're back? How was it? How's your relationship with District Chief Liu's daughter going? My good daughter, you should try to get along well with them. If you can build a good relationship with them, you'll get a lot of help from these connections in the future, whether it's your work or anything else."

Upon seeing Li Shuangshuang return, Meng Yun spoke to her with a hint of anticipation.

"Yes, Shuangshuang, your mother is right. If you make good use of these connections, you're guaranteed to be more successful than your brother in the future."

Song Wei chimed in, echoing her sentiment.

Li Shuangshuang fell silent instantly.

She had heard Meng Yun say these things since she was a child, but at this moment, she suddenly felt extremely disgusted and repulsed.

"Mom, I've fallen out with Liu Yaru and Kelly Chen!"

Thinking of the scene of being isolated and humiliated that morning, Li Shuangshuang laughed self-deprecatingly, "Dad is right. If you can't fit into some circles, you can't force it."

"You two broke up? Have you lost your mind?"

Meng Yun sat up abruptly from the sofa, pointing at Li Shuangshuang and yelling, "Your dad's a blockhead! You listen to him? What does he know? All he does is pretend to be high and mighty. Humph, I was bullied by that little bastard Lin Feng, and instead of standing up for me, he sided with outsiders! Now even you're not making your mother proud?"

"Mom, please don't talk about my cousin-in-law like that. He's a very good person..."

Li Shuangshuang became anxious, as she had personally witnessed Lin Feng's power.

"Good my foot! Li Shuangshuang, why are you siding with outsiders too?"

Meng Yun cursed angrily.

"Mom, things aren't really what you think!"

Li Shuangshuang finally understood her father Li Zuwang's feelings. Seeing that Meng Yun still harbored resentment towards Lin Feng, she said urgently, "You should listen to my dad and find a chance to apologize to your cousin-in-law properly later..."

"Shut up!"

Meng Yun's chest heaved with anger, but her eyes were fixed on the handbag in Li Shuang's hands. She immediately found an outlet for her frustration: "I told you to go out and build a good relationship with the daughter of District Chief Liu, but you wouldn't do it. All you do is buy useless things. What use are you to me? How could your father and I have given birth to a pair of good-for-nothings like you!"

Hearing the insults, Li Shuang's eyes reddened, not from anger, but from guilt.

Through Meng Yun, she realized once again how utterly repulsive she had been.

"Mom, I didn't buy this. It was a gift from someone because of my cousin-in-law!"

Li Shuangshuang took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down before explaining.

"What a load of bullshit about a brother-in-law!"

Meng Yun seemed to have been hit where it hurt, and immediately bristled. She jumped off the sofa, took three steps in two strides to Li Shuangshuang, snatched the handbag from her, threw it on the ground, and cursed, "I only gave it to you because of that little bastard, what good stuff could it be? How dare you bring this kind of junk home? I, your old woman, have no face to accept it!"
