Chapter 1382: Chapter 1356: Differential Treatment
Ye Chen took the piece of paper with a number written on it from Wang Hao and pulled out a bank card from his pocket, saying, "Hold onto this card, there’s a million in there, use it to treat your girlfriend first, and I’ll give you the rest later."
Wang Hao looked at the bank card in Ye Chen’s hand, his expression became a bit surprised, and he said with a trembling voice, "Sir, do you really trust me?"
"Yeah, otherwise why would I give you money?" Ye Chen glanced at Wang Hao and said.
Ye Chen’s gesture not only surprised Wang Hao, but even Su Wanyi and the surrounding onlookers were shocked.
On one hand, they thought Ye Chen must be very wealthy, just casually giving away a million, and on the other, they felt Ye Chen was really foolish with too much money, actually believing a lie.
"Honey, do you know this person? How can you just give him so much money?" Su Wanyi tugged at Ye Chen’s sleeve and whispered.
Ye Chen didn’t reply, just smiled at Su Wanyi.
After hearing Su Wanyi’s words, the people around also helpfully chimed in.
"Young man, it’s really unwise to do this, you’re surely being tricked."
"Yeah, giving so much money to a trickster, it would be better to donate to Project Hope."
"I suggest you listen to your girlfriend, quickly ask for that card back."
Ye Chen paid no attention to the crowd and instead walked Su Wanyi out of the gathering.
The onlookers saw that Ye Chen wouldn’t heed their advice and reluctantly shook their heads, believing he’d truly been duped.
At this moment, an elderly woman dressed in tattered clothes also approached Ye Chen, kneeling in front of him, saying, "Sir, miss, please be kind-hearted, my husband is sick at home, our children resent us old couple, please spare some meal money, pity us."
Seeing the old woman before them, Ye Chen was unmoved.
Su Wanyi wanted to pull money from her pocket to give to the old woman, but Ye Chen stopped her.
The onlookers were puzzled, wondering why Ye Chen’s attitude towards the boy and the elderly woman was vastly different.
Blocked by Ye Chen, Su Wanyi was somewhat displeased, feeling the old woman was truly pitiable.
The old woman was initially glad seeing Su Wanyi about to give money but was thwarted by someone’s interference.
"Sir, miss, I don’t ask for much, just a bit of meal money, my husband is still waiting for me at home." The old woman grew more sorrowful as she spoke.
Her actions aimed to win Ye Chen and Su Wanyi’s sympathy. She saw Ye Chen give the boy a bank card and overheard their conversation.
Thinking she could also benefit from Ye Chen, leading to this scene.
Knowing Su Wanyi was soft-hearted, Ye Chen hurriedly pulled her away.
Pulled away, Su Wanyi occasionally glanced back at the old woman, a helpless expression on her face.
Once they descended the flyover, Ye Chen released Su Wanyi’s hand.
"Honey, why didn’t you let me give that old woman money? Look how pitiful she is." Su Wanyi expressed dissatisfaction.
She felt sorrowful recalling the old woman’s attire and words.
"My dear, I didn’t want you to help her because she’s a fraud." Ye Chen explained with a frown.
"How could she be a fraud? She didn’t seem like one at all." Su Wanyi retorted.
"Oh, my dear, you’re still too young. As the saying goes, you can’t judge a book by its cover." Ye Chen shook his head in resignation.
Ye Chen learned through the system that the old woman wasn’t like she said, just a liar seeking money.
"Fine, since you say so, but I still think that boy is a fraud." Su Wanyi expressed dissatisfaction.
Ye Chen didn’t want to explain to Su Wanyi anymore, as he couldn’t tell her that the system informed him the boy was speaking the truth.
"My dear, even if I tell you now, you won’t believe. I’ll prove over time what I say is true, that the boy’s words were completely honest." Ye Chen stated seriously to Su Wanyi.
Then, he continued, "Alright, let’s stop talking about this. I’ll take you to a place now."
The boy was overjoyed after getting the bank card, feeling like he was dreaming. He’d been singing here for so long without anyone giving money; Ye Chen was his first benefactor, how could he not be happy?
Moreover, with this money, his girlfriend was saved.
The boy hurriedly packed up, eager to go to the hospital to share the good news with his girlfriend.
The onlookers watched the boy, sneering and even seemed envious.
"Oh, if I knew, I would’ve come out begging instead."
"Earning money this quickly, a night’s worth is a lifetime’s accumulation."
"The young man’s luck was extraordinary, meeting someone naive with excess wealth."
Wang Hao paid no mind to the crowd’s mocking, continuing to gather his belongings, eagerly wanting to visit his girlfriend in the hospital.
Meanwhile, Wang Xiaocong and his girlfriend spent the afternoon shopping, feeling exhausted.
After finally sending his girlfriend away, he drove to the music bar and shared the location with Ye Chen.
Ye Chen and Su Wanyi arrived at the parking lot and got in the car, heading to the location.
Ye Chen still hadn’t told Su Wanyi where they were going, only giving her a sense of mystery.
After driving for nearly an hour, Ye Chen stopped and parked at a music bar, leading Su Wanyi inside.
"Honey, really, you’re bringing me here? If I’d known, I’d rather stay at home." Su Wanyi expressed displeasure.
She really didn’t have time to waste here, with so many things waiting for her attention.
"Honey, I brought you here to relax; you’re always so busy, sometimes you need to unwind." Ye Chen said.
Su Wanyi understood Ye Chen’s intentions, thinking she might as well sit inside since she’d come, moreover it had been ages since she’d visited a place like this.
"Alright then, thanks, honey." Su Wanyi smiled and said.
Two people headed inside the bar.
The waiter smiled, saying, "Please follow me."
"No need, someone’s waiting inside for me." Ye Chen waved his hand.
Upon hearing this, Su Wanyi asked, "Honey, it’s not just the two of us? There’s someone waiting inside?"
"Yes, I never said it would only be us. You’ll soon find out who awaits us inside." Ye Chen replied mysteriously.
Carrying questions in her heart, Su Wanyi followed Ye Chen inside.
