I'm reborn and I'm an international student again?

"Harry, I enjoyed our meal today. I would like to take a walk around the tower." After dinner, Chen Caiyue suggested going shopping.

"Okay, then I won't disturb you and your son from having fun. If you have any questions, you can call me. See you at the exhibition tomorrow!" Harry nodded.

Seeing that his mother was going shopping, Chen Xi, as a man, followed her reluctantly.

Hu Jian and others left as they had to prepare for tomorrow's work.

"Son, let's go buy some clothes."

Chen Caiyue often buys all kinds of clothes for Chen Xi, no matter how old he is.

Every time facing Chen Xi's reluctance, she would always smile and say that it would be better to have a daughter.

"Why buy clothes? I have enough to wear." Chen Xi shook his head.

"What? Now that you have a girlfriend, you don't want to wear the clothes I bought for you?" Chen Caiyue grabbed her son's ear and dragged him to the shopping mall.

"Buy, buy, buy. I'll buy whatever you say." Chen Xi kept shouting all the way.

"You're going to attend the exhibition tomorrow, so of course you have to dress up. You're sloppy every day. You haven't learned the good things from the Australians, but you have learned all the laziness." Chen Caiyue kept complaining.

"What's the good thing about Australians? Do they care about the environment? Ouch~ it hurts~" Chen Xi muttered and continued to be pulled forward.

Next, he was like a doll, being constantly dragged by Chen Caiyue to various clothing stores to try on clothes.

It's on the other side of the mall.

After dinner, Chen Yifeng, who was feeling a little irritable, found an excuse to go out and relax.

He put his hands behind his back and walked around the mall without a plan like an old man.

When passing by a shop, Chen Yifeng looked at the exquisite models in the glass window and stopped involuntarily.

In the past, I would bring some small gifts back for my son when I went on business trips. Since Chen Xi went abroad, this habit has gradually disappeared.

Thinking that his son, who always went against him, now seemed to stop arguing with him, and feeling a little annoyed with Zhang Xuan, Chen Yifeng walked in unconsciously.

On this side, Chen Xi, who had finally finished shopping, breathed a sigh of relief, but was pulled upstairs by Chen Caiyue to enjoy the scenery.

Standing on the observation deck of the Burj Khalifa, as night falls, the bright lights of Dubai are like the starry sky fallen into the earth.

The lights of high-rise buildings interweave into flowing paintings. The Sailboat Hotel in the distance and the fishing lights on the sea complement each other, adding a bit of mystery and romance to the city's night.

Chen Caiyue was as excited as a child, holding a mobile phone in her hand, aiming the camera at every angle, trying to capture this stunning night view. Her face was filled with a happy smile, and she exclaimed "wow" from time to time, as if at this moment, all the fatigue and troubles were melted by this boundless beauty.

"Son, look over there. Doesn't that light look like the Milky Way falling on the ground?" Chen Caiyue pointed to a bright spot in the distance and turned to Chen Xi and said.

Chen Xi looked in the direction of his mother's finger. Indeed, the dimly lit area was like a brilliant Milky Way pouring down, reflecting the prosperity of the city. He nodded and felt a little emotional.

It had been a long time since he had quietly appreciated the night view like this, let alone shared such a moment with his mother.

"Buzz." At this time, Chen Xi's cell phone suddenly rang.

He frowned. This was another mobile phone with a domestic card in it.

The call was from an unfamiliar number, and I didn't know who it was...

"Mom, I'm going to answer a phone call. You go shopping first." The wind outside was a bit strong. Chen Xi waved his hand and strode away.

"Hello." He spoke first after the call was connected.

"Hello, is this Mr. Chen?" It was a man's voice on the other end, and he sounded young.

"Who are you?"

"Excuse me, are you willing to sell the game cards you bought at the auction last time?"

"No, I lost it." Chen Xi suppressed his smile.

"..." The other end of the phone fell into a brief silence, and then a low and magnetic voice sounded again, with a bit of sincerity: "Mr. Chen, you are really interesting. To be honest, I am an avid collector of game cards. Last time, due to insufficient funds, I failed to get the things I wanted. After returning home, I simply lost my appetite and couldn't sleep at night, and my heart was full of regrets. Therefore, I want to sell you this card at double the price. I wonder if you can help me and give me this opportunity to make up for my regrets?"

"If you open an e-commerce platform, you will find a lot of this kind of things there. You can probably buy them at half the price. Why spend such money?" After Chen Xi finished speaking, he covered his mouth and laughed.

It looks like the big fish from before is about to be caught!
"That's...pirated..." The man's voice sounded a little annoyed this time.

"What's the difference? It's just like when you buy a pair of fake brand-name shoes. Who would take off your shoes to see the internal structure? By the way, how did you get my cell phone number? Personal information at the auction should be confidential." Chen Xi asked back.

"Money can solve all problems. It's just a mobile phone number. Don't worry about these details."

"You also failed at the auction before. Can money solve everything? Sorry, I am not short of money. Your double price really can't impress me."

"Then tell me your desired price. How much do I need to buy this set of cards?" The man was a little anxious this time.

Chen Xi became even more certain that this man was not very old.

Most likely it was one of those young men at the auction.

He was prepared to make a large sum of money from the other party, so he wanted to find a place to talk slowly. Before he knew it, Chen Xi walked further and further away.

"Click, click!" At this time, Chen Caiyue was taking pictures outdoors. She lightly rotated her body, changed the shooting angle, and immersed herself in the art of capturing beautiful moments.

Just as she gently pressed the shutter button again, ready to freeze the scenery before her, a familiar figure inadvertently broke into her lens.

Her ex-husband - Chen Yifeng.

"Oh, coming here to take pictures in the middle of the night is really a unique experience." Chen Yifeng leaned against the guardrail. Although his eyes were fixed on the hazy scenery in the distance, his eyes could not help but occasionally cast an imperceptible glance at the woman beside him, as if inadvertently exploring her reaction.

"Hey, isn't this Mr. Chen? Why do you care where I came from? By the way, why are you here again? Are you following me?" Chen Caiyue put down her phone and winked at the man mischievously.

"Well, I'm here for the exhibition and I'm just wandering around here." Chen Yifeng coughed awkwardly in response to her sarcasm.

"Why didn't you bring your new wife? Isn't it lonely to go shopping alone? Didn't you hate shopping before?"

"I'm going to buy some gifts for my son." Chen Yifeng said, holding a model toy in his hand.

"Wow, I must have heard it wrong. You still care about your son? Are you buying this for Chen Xi, or for your future son? You must have forgotten how old your son is this year. How can he still play with models?" Chen Caiyue covered her mouth in surprise.

"How can I not care about my son? It's just that fatherly love and motherly love are different. You only know how to spoil him. You used to buy him game consoles. Games can only harm people and make people lose their ambition." Chen Yifeng has always had serious disagreements with Chen Caiyue on his son's education. This is also a common conflict between most parents.

"You always make people do things they don't like, just like a tyrannical monarch who never obeys other people's wishes."

"You just don't like me. It's always been like this. You control everything I do. Why don't I care about my son? Think about it, I used to run out to write Spring Festival couplets for others to make money during the Chinese New Year because my son needed to buy milk powder!"

The two began arguing again.

Chen Yifeng always talks about this incident online, saying how hard he works.

At that time, the family had no money and Chen Xi had no milk powder to drink, so Chen Yifeng pushed a tricycle, got some red paper, set up a stall on the road to write Spring Festival couplets to earn money for milk powder.

"Hehe, it's not like my mom didn't give you money to buy milk powder. It's because of your ridiculous self-esteem that you insisted on going out to earn it yourself? You have always been strong-willed. Didn't you still ask my mom for money to start a business later?" Chen Caiyue got angry when she thought about this.

In order to save a little bit of face, Chen Yifeng insisted on letting his son go hungry. In the end, he did not earn enough money and had to ask his brother for money for milk powder.

"Why do you always bring this up every time we quarrel? I asked your mother for money several times at that time, and the company was not doing well, so the money was used to buy cars and houses. If I ask for money again, especially because my son has no milk powder, what will others think of me?" Chen Yifeng touched his hair irritably.

"My mom gave you money to start a business, but you insisted on using it to buy cars, buildings, and mobile phones for your business. As a result, you couldn't even afford the money for milk powder. I don't know how many times you lost money in the early days of the business. Every time you couldn't pay the wages, you went to my mom to borrow money. Later, when you had the money, you went to mess around with the accountant in the company. Don't you allow me to say anything?"

"It's the second year now and the business is good. It's turned around all of a sudden! I also returned the money to your mother, but you and your mother keep talking about this. You insist on using the excuse of funding a startup to erase the credit for my hard work. I'm really unhappy about this!" Chen Yifeng became angry and embarrassed.

"Pay back the money? How dare you say that? The money has not been paid back yet. Besides, we have never negated your efforts. It's just that your inferiority complex is always playing tricks on you. You always think too much about these things. My mother and I usually encourage you."

"You haven't told me yet? You always tell me that men become bad when they have money. Isn't that what you guys say?"

"If you hadn't done anything to let me down, would I have kept bringing this up? It would have been fine if it happened once, but you not only messed around with the accountant, you even messed around with the hotel waiter. I even had my brother block you downstairs in the hotel and you didn't dare come down..."

"Which eye did you see me having an affair with the hotel waiter?" Chen Yifeng insisted.

He was once blocked by Chen Guolin downstairs of a hotel, but he cleverly ran to another room. In the end, the other party couldn't find him and had to leave in anger.

"Let's not talk about anything else. It's a fact that you hit me just for a divorce." Chen Caiyue got angry when she thought about it.

"We had agreed before that we would divorce when Chen Xi grew up a little, but you didn't agree. What can I do?" Chen Yifeng knew he was in the wrong, and his voice suddenly became softer.

"Xixi is so young. Our divorce will definitely cause him psychological trauma. He might even stop believing in love in the future..."

"I don't believe it! He has brought back a foreign woman, and you are still worried about him!" Chen Yifeng became excited again.

"That's better than you. You just pretend to be a saint every day, saying that you don't touch eating, drinking, gambling, or whoring, and you are nice to your employees. But in the end, you didn't fulfill any of the things you promised to your employees. You are simply a liar!" Chen Caiyue, as a mother, got even angrier when she heard the man say bad things about her son.

"Why do you give so much money to your subordinates? Sooner or later the company will be dragged down by your behavior. If you had listened to me in everything, you wouldn't have gotten divorced... I'm too lazy to talk to you about this." Chen Yifeng turned his head away angrily, and so did Chen Caiyue.

The stands suddenly became quiet, and the two of them just stared at the scenery in the distance without saying a word. All the previous scenes involuntarily appeared in front of them.

There is happiness and there is pain.

At that time, Chen Yifeng, who had just graduated, was no different from other young people. He was full of vigor and thought he could change his fate with his abilities.

After a big fight with his father Chen Kaiwen, he ran to Huajing alone.

In that era, the Chinese immigrant population was not yet popular.

The locals still have a serious sense of discrimination against outsiders.

Although he graduated from Huazhong University, this did not entitle him to any preferential treatment.

After applying for several jobs, Chen Yifeng was always dissatisfied with the low positions and low salaries.

This is also one of the reasons why many college students cannot find their ideal jobs.

In the end, he was out of money and food and could not survive in a high-consumption place like Huajing, so he ran back to Xinlu in shame.

Because he had a falling out with his family before, Chen Yifeng was too embarrassed to go back home. Besides, there was only a small, shabby house at home, which was not enough for the three grown-up brothers to live in.

Chen Yifeng, who was at his wit's end, had no choice but to swallow his pride and ask Chen Caiyue for help.

At that time, Chen Caiyue was playing in her mother Jing Li's hospital. The kind-hearted Jing Li saw the man's predicament and arranged a job for him in the hospital.

Since printers were not commonly used in that era and Chen Yifeng had good handwriting, he was naturally assigned a clerical job.

In addition to writing, Chen Yifeng also helps the hospital maintain things like door signs and light bulbs.

This laid a small foundation for him to start an advertising company in the future.

Chen Yifeng actually had some heart problems. Once when he was maintaining the doorhead, his eyes went black and he fell off the ladder.

Jing Li guessed that it was a bad habit left over from the time when he slept in an earthquake shelter.

At that time, earthquakes occurred in many places in China, so people would build earthquake shelters in many places. Moreover, the Chen family was so poor that the earthquake shelter naturally became one of the residences of the three brothers.

Then, the kind-hearted Jing Li promoted Chen Yifeng and told him not to do dangerous things again.

Although Chen Yifeng was promoted, a small hospital could not hinder his dream.

When Chen Caiyue's father passed away, Chen Yifeng cried at the grave to show his loyalty and married Chen Caiyue, and successfully got the savings that Jing Li had accumulated over the years.

This also led to some discord between Jing Li and his son for many years.

As the eldest son in the family, Chen Guolin or Chen Caiyue should have used his parents' money. However, Jing Li lent it to his son-in-law to start a business. Anyone would be unhappy about this.

Later, Chen Yifeng suddenly became rich, became arrogant, and started looking for women everywhere...

Just as Chen Yifeng was reminiscing, Chen Caiyue next to him also rested his chin on his hand and fell into deep thought.

Back then, Chen Yifeng successfully captured her heart by drawing an oil painting for her and saying all kinds of sweet words.

Similar to what was shown in the TV series, Chen Caiyue’s father actually did not think highly of Chen Yifeng.

Firstly, it was because the other party's background was too poor, and secondly, this person was always talking nonsense, which made him, a soldier, feel a little uncomfortable with him.

In fact, TV dramas often feature a scene where a rich girl falls in love with a poor boy, but is opposed by the girl’s father.

From an objective perspective, such a plot may arouse indignation among the poor audience.

They may feel that these rich people are looking down on the male protagonist for no reason and feel unfair for him. They believe that the girl's father is "judging a book by its cover" by belittling others simply based on the wealth gap, and that he ignores the excellent qualities that the male protagonist may possess.

However, from the perspective of a rich man, as a father, he naturally hopes that his daughter can live a wealthy and stable life.

As for why rich people sometimes look down on poor people, there are often complex considerations behind this. They may think that poverty is often associated with certain bad habits or social disadvantages, such as lack of diligence, lack of wisdom, or defects in interpersonal communication.

Simply put, rich people think that poor people have bad qualities.

To be honest, although Chen Caiyue said that she was blind to find Chen Yifeng, she didn't think so in her heart.

She is the type who dares to love and hate, and doesn't think about too many complicated things. This may be the reason why she has been deceived so many times.

Even after so many years of divorce in the previous life, Chen Xi could still hear her praising Chen Yifeng, which made Chen Xi, as a son, feel very speechless.

Chen Caiyue and Chen Yifeng had a sweet time together after marriage and later had a lovely child.

The two of them founded several companies together, and the group grew bigger and bigger. In the eyes of Xinlu people, they were considered a good couple.

Recalling the time when Chen Yifeng knelt in front of his father and swore an oath.

"I, Chen Yifeng, will treat Caiyue well all my life..." the man shouted while kneeling in front of the tombstone.

Hey, how could this person become like this?

Men will become bad if they have money!

Chen Caiyue sighed silently.

The night was as dark as ink and dotted with stars. The two stood side by side on the observation deck of the Burj Khalifa. This building at the top of the world seemed to isolate them from the world, leaving only endless lights and the stars in the sky shining against each other.

With tall buildings and bright lights, the night view of Dibai is like a dream city of the future, dazzling and brilliant, but it also reflects the unspeakable silence and alienation between the two people.

Chen Caiyue's long hair fluttered gently in the breeze, her eyes passed through the layers of light and shadow, as if she was looking for something, or just staring blankly into the distance.

Chen Yifeng stood quietly beside her, his hands in his pockets. His well-defined face looked even darker in the night, and his eyes flashed with a complex and indistinguishable light.

There was a subtle tension in the air, like the calm before a storm. Chen Caiyue's sigh was particularly clear in this vast space, as if it was a remembrance of the good old days, or a sigh of helplessness about the current situation.

Chen Yifeng didn't turn around to look at her, but just lowered his eyes slightly.

The night wind blew across their cheeks with a hint of coolness, but it could not blow away the haze that shrouded their hearts.

The world under the Burj Khalifa is still bustling and noisy, but they seem to be forgotten outside of the bright lights, immersed in their own thoughts, and everything around them becomes blurry and distant.

This silence is not just a gap in words, but also an insurmountable distance between two hearts.

Standing on the highest observation deck in this city, facing the endless night sky, my heart is filled with unknown and confusion.

"Cai Yue...I..." At this moment, Chen Yifeng beside him suddenly spoke, but he hesitated for a long time and couldn't say anything.

"Are you regretting it now? Is that woman not as pretty as me? And is she good for nothing except obeying you?" Chen Caiyue grinned.

"Who said I regretted it? I don't regret it at all. I, Chen Yifeng, don't regret anything I do!" Chen Yifeng's old face turned red, as if the veil was lifted.

"Oh, then what did you want to tell me just now?" Chen Caiyue blinked.

"You...I'm already married...do you plan to find another one?" Chen Yifeng said hesitantly.

In fact, he has been observing Chen Caiyue's movements. Every time he goes out to discuss something, he will ask Chen Caiyue's acquaintances about the latest news in a roundabout way.

He didn't know why he did this, he just wanted to take a look.

It’s just like some young people who broke up with their girlfriends but couldn’t help but check their girlfriends’ Weibo updates.

"I won't be like you! You found a new wife so quickly. Were you two together before we divorced?"

"I really don't know what you are thinking about every day! Humph~" Chen Yifeng snorted coldly and turned his head away again.

"Then why did you find another one so soon after your divorce?" Chen Caiyue seemed a little unwilling to give in.

"People admire me because they see that I'm talented. I'm not something that no one wants." Chen Yifeng laughed.

"Look at you, believe it or not, if you declare bankruptcy now, that woman will run away immediately."

"Humph, wealth is a man's confidence, why should I throw it away?"

"Yawn." At this time, Chen Caiyue sneezed. She had been standing here for too long and was still a little cold.

"Go back. It's windy here. Where do you live?"

"What is it to you!" Chen Caiyue rolled her eyes at him, rubbed her arms and walked inside.

At this time, a man slowly walked over. He looked at Chen Caiyue and said with a smile: "Caiyue, why are you here?"

Chen Yifeng looked at the person in front of him, and bad memories instantly came to his mind.

He walked between the two men with a stern face, blocking the man's sight. "Why are you here? Are you two together?" (End of this chapter)
