Upon seeing him depart, Xu Hao sneered. “Is your bladder acting up? Or can’t you control yourself? Maybe you should visit the restroom to address that issue.”
Fang Jiayi shot Xu Hao a furious glare. Just as she was about to leave, Xu Hao suddenly seized her hand.
Lu Chen went to the restroom to splash some water on his face. He found Jiayi’s friends rather unsuitable for his taste. He contemplated that if they were wasting their time here, they might as well return home early. While he was deep in thought, he overheard a few girls chatting outside the restroom door.
“I just don’t get it. Why would the son of the wealthiest man in Fengcheng City be interested in someone like Fang Jiayi? She’s far from being the most attractive girl around.”
“I have no idea either. Who else could compare to her in looks?”
“Exactly. She grew up with the cleaners, so she’s quite down and out.”
“Despite the fancy clothes and expensive jewelry, it can’t mask her lack of refinement.”
“Absolutely. Wearing all that jewelry makes her look like a nouveau riche. It’s a total mismatch, and she’s forcefully donning it all. It’s just a show-off, isn’t it? So superficial!”
Lu Chen furrowed his brows. Just as he was about to exit and reprimand them for their nonsense, he overheard one of the girls remark, “Oh, that’s because she’s fortunate. She has the richest man in town as her father. How can she compare to us? We may be good girls, but we can’t find a great boyfriend.” “That’s right. That Lu Chen appears rather gallant when confronting Xu Hao. 1 have a feeling that Fang Jiayi used to be with Xu Hao, right?”
“They weren’t just hanging out—they even kissed!”
“I have a feeling that Xu Hao isn’t someone to be taken lightly. There’s bound to be an interesting spectacle to witness later.”
Lu Chen felt as though he had been pinned in place and couldn’t move. Even as the voices faded, he remained rooted in the same spot, unmoving.
Jiayi had dated that troublemaker? She even kissed him? Jiayi had confessed to him previously that he was her first love. Not long ago, when they had their first kiss, her kissing technique had been quite amateurish. Could it be that she had lied when she claimed it was her first kiss?
On the other hand, Qiao Bei clasped his hands together and implored, “My dear goddess, please spare me. This costs me hundreds of millions, and if I take it down like this, I’ll end up in the hospital!”
“Look at you. I only had two bottles of your wine,” Tang Nan remarked as she opened another bottle.
Regret clouded Qiao Bei’s face. “Goddess, this is a limited edition whiskey. It’s worth ten million US dollars. Ten million US dollars! Baby Yuanyuan, aren’t you going to do something about it?”
“What? Our friendship isn’t worth ten million?” Tang Nan raised an eyebrow.
“That’s true,” Fang Yuan agreed.
“It’s worth it…” Qiao Bei was on the brink of tears. “This isn’t just about money. I’m mostly concerned about your health…”
“Enjoyment in the moment, wouldn’t you say, Yuanyuan?” Tang Nan took a sip of her drink. “Not bad. It’s a limited edition, as expected. Fine liquor! It’s just a pity that the alcohol content is too high for Yuanyuan.”
Fang Yuan pursed her lips. “Alright, let’s go.” If they didn’t leave now, Qiao Bei might genuinely have a heart attack.
“You two go ahead.” Tang Nan stood up. “I’m going to the restroom. Qiao Bei, fetch my car.”
Qiao Bei agreed, “Yes, ma’am.”
The scent of alcohol in the private room was overwhelming. As Fang Yuan exited, she noticed Qiao Bei offering her a card. She was momentarily taken aback.
“I owe you.”
It was then that Fang Yuan recalled how Qiao Bei had borrowed several medicines from her on multiple occasions. It appeared his family had some health issues. She smiled. “No need. Consider it payment for the wine.” After all, she could create those medications effortlessly, whereas Qiao Bei’s wine was a limited edition.
“That won’t do. I can’t take advantage of you as it. Besides, even though you opened two bottles of wine for me tonight, I’m still happy to let you drink!” Qiao Bei insisted as he placed the card into Fang Yuan’s hand, giving her a warm pat on the head.
Just as this scene unfolded, Lu Chen happened to witness it. His anger had been steadily building, but now it reached its peak.
“Fang Yuan!”
Turning to face the source of the voice, Fang Yuan and Qiao Bei saw Lu Chen approaching, seething with anger. He clenched his teeth, his demeanor suggesting he was the legitimate boyfriend who had caught them red-handed. “He’s your benefactor?” Lu Chen shot a quick, assessing glance at Qiao Bei. He couldn’t deny that the guy looked charismatic and handsome, explaining why Fang Yuan was drawn to him. However, the more he thought about it, the more he wished for better for her. “This is happening in broad daylight. Have you no sense of decency?”
“What did you say?” Qiao Bei seized Lu Chen by his collar. “Say that again! What did you just say about her?”
With confidence, Lu Chen retorted, “Before she was serving you, she had served countless others!”
“F*ckyou!” Qiao Bei struck Lu Chen in the face.
A passing waiter was unfortunate to get caught in the crossfire as Lu Chen stumbled into him, causing the wine in his grasp to fall and shatter on the floor.
The commotion echoed down the corridor, prompting someone to open the door of a nearby private room to witness the spectacle.
“Jiayi, someone just hit your fiance! Hurry!”
“What?” Fang Jiayi rushed outside to assess the situation..
