Pursuing Her Best Friend after Confession Failed

Chapter 699: Chapter 242: From Love Rivals to Best Friends, The Bootlicker and The Green Tea_3

Xu Zhi sighed helplessly. "Yuan, you don’t know. I’ve already apologized. I even knelt down in front of her, but she’s still crying nonstop."

"Holy shit, you actually knelt down?" Li Yuan couldn’t help but curse.

Xu Zhi nodded awkwardly and coughed. "What else could I do? It was my fault for taking her first blood. I knelt, but she still won’t forgive me. What should I do now?"

Li Yuan frowned. "Did you do what I told you? Did you offer to buy her a new phone, designer bags, jewelry, and makeup? You have to show off your wealth a little."

Xu Zhi was taken aback and said sheepishly, "Yuan, wouldn’t that just add fuel to the fire? What if she thinks I’m insulting her with money?"

Li Yuan burst out laughing. This idiot in love still thinks Wang Yuchen is so pure. Her schemes are on a completely different level than his. No wonder he was played for a fool, just like I was in my previous life.

"Ahem, Dazhi, just give it a try," Li Yuan said. "You might get some unexpected results."

In this world, there might be a handful of girls who don’t love money, but the vast majority do. If they claim not to, it just means you haven’t offered enough. Li Yuan knew Wang Yuchen all too well. She was, without a doubt, a gold-digging schemer. And the more of a schemer one is, the smarter they get. They place an extremely high value on their virginity because, to them, it can be sold for a very good price. The difference in value between having it and not is night and day.

Li Yuan guessed that Wang Yuchen’s dramatic reaction was likely because she hadn’t seen enough benefit, or perhaps, she wasn’t completely satisfied with Xu Zhi. Being with him now is just her second-best option after weighing the pros and cons. It’s like the old saying goes: you have to ride the donkey to find a horse.

Xu Zhi’s family was quite well-off; otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to save up thousands in pocket money during high school. A backup boyfriend like him could certainly provide financial support to cover her university expenses.

Xu Zhi replied, half-convinced, "Alright, Yuan, I’ll give it a try. If it doesn’t work, could you ask Bai Weixi to put in a good word for me? They’re best friends, so Yuchen should listen to her."

Li Yuan nodded. "Okay, you try that first and see if you can win her over. Remember, be sweet, flaunt your wealth, and make some grand promises. She might just fall for it."

"Okay, Yuan, I’ll go try right now!"

Hesitantly, Xu Zhi hung up the phone. He nervously approached the hotel bed where Wang Yuchen was cowering in a corner, hugging her head and sobbing uncontrollably. With a thud, he dropped to his knees before her and began to apologize sincerely.

"Yuchen, I’m so sorry. It’s all my fault. I really drank too much last night and got carried away. You know how much I love you. I’ve been pursuing you since our sophomore year of high school, all the way to attending the same university as you... Don’t worry, I swear I’ll love you for the rest of my life. If I ever wrong you, may I be struck by lightning..."

Despite Xu Zhi’s heartfelt apology, Wang Yuchen completely ignored him, continuing to cry while hugging her head. Seeing that even kneeling and begging was useless, Xu Zhi felt his hope fading. Finally, he decided to follow Li Yuan’s advice.

He stood up and picked up the shattered remains of the phone Wang Yuchen had smashed in her anger. Approaching her again, he spoke hesitantly, "Yuchen, I’m sorry about your phone. But as they say, out with the old, in with the new. You’ve had this phone for two years anyway; it’s time for an upgrade. I heard there’s a new phone on the market from the Fruit company, the iPhone 3G. It’s supposed to be really smart and stylish, with a touchscreen... If you like it, I’ll buy it for you."

After speaking, Xu Zhi waited, tense and anxious, for her response.

He saw that Wang Yuchen, who had been sobbing ceaselessly, had suddenly gone much quieter. To his surprise, she turned around. Her eyes were bloodshot as she stared coldly at him.

"What was that about buying a new phone?"

Overjoyed that she was finally acknowledging him, Xu Zhi scrambled to explain. "It’s a phone from an American company, Fruit. They say it’s a revolutionary new smartphone. Since yours is broken, it’s the perfect time to get a new one."

Wang Yuchen glanced at him. She had heard of the phone and had even seen one before. A very wealthy female classmate of hers had one, and it was rumored to be extremely expensive. She snorted coldly. "And you have the money to buy it for me?"

"I do! I have money, a lot of it," Xu Zhi replied quickly. "I made some money with Yuan recently. Yuchen, just stop being angry with me, and I’ll buy you whatever you want!"

When Wang Yuchen heard that Xu Zhi had made money with Li Yuan, she felt a quiver run through her, and her heart began to race. She had no doubt about Li Yuan’s ability to make money. He wasn’t even nineteen, but he had already started a company, bought a mansion, and was driving a sports car. It was all completely beyond her imagination.

In truth, she was deeply envious of Bai Weixi. Unfortunately, Li Yuan paid her no mind, and after seeing some of his other girlfriends, she knew she never stood a chance.

The sudden news that Xu Zhi had made money with Li Yuan made her heart stir. Suppressing the tremor of excitement, Wang Yuchen feigned calmness and asked, "You don’t write novels. How could you have made money with Li Yuan?"
