Free Web NovelChapter 541: Chapter 235: Inciting Public Outrage
Yang Chen and Lin Yiren strolled around and returned to the parking lot of the building to leave.
At this time, James and a group of his entourage also came to pick up their car. freēwebnovel.com
"Why haven’t you left yet?" James questioned.
Yang Chen replied with a smile: "We’re just about to. Fools, with such high rent, you fools are going to lose money."
James burst into laughter, but the large movement pulled on his wound, causing him to grimace in pain. Then he confidently replied, "For someone like you, a ride-hailing driver, of course, it’s a loss, but for those of us in finance, it’s just money we can earn back with a single project. Do you think we care? Do you really think I’m stupid? I’m willing to pay a high price, not just to rent an office here, but more importantly, to build connections. Understand? You wouldn’t get it, but I’ll tell you, I’ve set my sights on this beautiful lady."
Yang Chen smiled, called for Lin Yiren to get in the car, and left.
The subordinate beside Hultas James advised him to let it go since the girl already has a boyfriend and it’s best not to keep pestering her.
There are plenty of Dragon Country women who like foreigners, so why insist on this one?
Hultas James laughed and said, "The more difficult a woman is, the more interested I am. Previously, I snatched the girlfriends of several Dragon Country international students, and didn’t they all obediently kneel before me? Haha... I’ve set my sights on this woman. The harder the challenge, the greater the sense of accomplishment I’ll have at the end. How can you Dragon Country men compete with us white men for women? Let’s go, time to eat."
Yang Chen took Lin Yiren to the International Finance Center.
"Feel free to pick anything you want, as much as you can carry, and buy as much as you can sell," Yang Chen said with a smile.
Lin Yiren, holding Yang Chen’s arm, smiled and said, "Then I won’t be polite."
"No need to be polite, go ahead and choose," Yang Chen said with a smile.
Lin Yiren gave Yang Chen a quick kiss and dashed into the LV Store.
This place is a gathering ground for luxury leather goods; even slightly subpar brands dare not enter because the rent is too expensive, and they simply cannot maintain profit margins to bear these costs.
Yang Chen sat in the rest area waiting for Lin Yiren.
Then, a couple sat down next to him.
The man’s hands were already full of bags, and the girl was holding two GUCCI purses.
The man said, "Xiaohui, let’s go eat."
Woman: "I haven’t finished buying yet, there’s more I want to get."
Man: "You’ve already bought a lot, let’s buy the rest next time."
Woman: "Why is it so hard to get you to buy me something? If you don’t spend money on me, how can you keep me by your side?"
Man: "I never said I wouldn’t spend money on you, but my credit cards are maxed out. Isn’t that enough to prove I love you?"
Woman: "Get real, nowadays any woman who can breathe doesn’t worry about finding a partner. If you don’t spend enough money on me, why should I choose you as my boyfriend?"
Man: "But you’ve bought so much. Is love really just about men buying things for women? Can’t love be proven by anything other than buying?"
Woman: "What else? If you don’t spend money on me, how do you prove you love me, just with words?"
Yang Chen cast a sympathetic glance at the guy. Truly pitiful.
At this time, Lin Yiren happily ran over.
"Ah Chen, I’ve made my choice," Lin Yiren said, waving the wallet in her hand.
Yang Chen smilingly asked, "Is this the only one you picked?"
Lin Yiren nodded and said, "I just needed to replace my worn-out wallet. I don’t need anything else. Thank you for indulging me. Teehee..."
With that, Lin Yiren stepped forward and gave Yang Chen a peck.
Yang Chen smiled, nodded, and got up to pay.
Afterward, Lin Yiren held Yang Chen’s arm, contentedly leaving the LV Store.
The man with the maxed-out credit cards looked at Yang Chen with envy, then looked at the bags on both his arms, and instantly felt it was not worth it.
He snatched the items from his girlfriend’s hands and said, "See that? That’s what dating is supposed to be like. And you? You’re just looking for an ATM. If you had even an ounce of love for me, you wouldn’t have said those things. I’ve already told you my credit cards are maxed out and you still want me to buy more. We’re just ordinary people, why do you insist on pretending to be rich? It’s one thing if you had money, but you’re as broke as can be, yet you push someone ordinary like me to live this lifestyle. I have to ask, do you even deserve it? These were bought with my hard-earned money, and you’re not getting a single one!"
The woman screamed, "Chen Le, are you crazy? I’ll give you one more chance, apologize to me right now and go buy me an LV bag, and I’ll forgive you. Otherwise..."
The man interrupted, "Otherwise what? Go buy it yourself if you want it, why should I pay for it? Don’t tell me you’re broke. If you are, then why pretend? I’ve got all this stuff, wouldn’t it be better to find a nice girl who actually wants a relationship? Why throw it all away in the trash? I’m telling you now, you’re dumped!"
With that, the man carried all the items and left.
The nearby shoppers started mocking the woman.
"Oh, the fool ATM has finally woken up!"
"Seriously, the guy already said his credit cards are maxed out and you still want him to buy more, aren’t you just treating him like a fool?"
"If you’re broke, then don’t dream of a high life. Don’t you know what you are? It’s the worst when broke women mooch off men and then show off on social media, claiming to be independent women who won’t lower their living standards."
....
Those customers were all decked in designer brands, with watches worth hundreds of thousands, leaving the woman too afraid to retort, and she quickly scurried away.
