Chapter 119: Fellow Travellers

Ye Bufan looked back and was surprised to find that the person standing behind him was Shi Yuting’s best friend, Huang Xiaoli.

That night at Night Not Central KTV, this woman caused trouble and then ran away by herself, which made Shi Yuting see her true colors.

Since then, they had cut ties and had no further contact.

Not only Shi Yuting, but even Yang Xu stopped bothering with Huang Xiaoli, which made her resent Ye Bufan for everything.

Some people are just like that; they never reflect on themselves after making mistakes, but instead blame others entirely.

In her opinion, if Ye Bufan and Han Shuai hadn't caused trouble that night, she wouldn't have ended up in such a predicament.

Especially Ye Bufan; if that poor boy hadn't stepped forward to show off, she wouldn't have been so embarrassed.

However, she never thought about who caused all of it, nor did she consider what her fate would have been without Ye Bufan.

Ultimately, it was because in her mind, Han Shuai and Ye Bufan were both poor people, and poor people shouldn't show off, poor people should keep a low profile, and poor people deserve to be looked down upon.

It was precisely because of this that after being blacklisted by Yang Xu, she found another rich man, the middle-aged胖子 beside her.

Although the middle-aged胖子 was a bit short, had short legs, a big belly, less hair on his head, and was a bit ugly, he was a genuinely wealthy man and was very generous in spending money on her.

Huang Xiaoli had just slept with the胖子 last night, and the胖子 was very satisfied with her performance, promising to buy her a luxurious phone.

She didn't expect to meet Ye Bufan here.

When she saw Ye Bufan, she immediately felt an urge to jump out and step on him, which is why she spoke mockingly.

He Shuangshuang glared at her and said, “Does it concern you whether we can afford it or not?”

She then turned to Ye Bufan and asked, “Xiaofan, who is she?”

Ye Bufan said, “A very annoying person.”

He already disliked Huang Xiaoli’s character, and seeing her ungrateful now only increased his disgust.

“Ye Bufan, who are you calling annoying? What right does a pauper like you have to call others annoying?”

Huang Xiaoli had run off early that day and hadn't seen Ma Jiuye and Tang Feng bowing to Ye Bufan, so she still thought he was a penniless poor boy.

Seeing him now being embraced by He Shuangshuang and Gu Qingcheng, she spoke again, “I’m telling you, he’s just a pauper, he has no money at all, don’t expect him to buy you a Vertu phone, that’s impossible.”

In her opinion, the reason Ye Bufan could gain the favor of two beauties must have been by promising to buy them Vertu phones.

Gu Qingcheng frowned slightly, clearly also very displeased with this rude woman, and said coldly, “Get lost!”

This was her usual style, always simple and direct.

“You…”

Huang Xiaoli’s Face flushed, “You’re biting the hand that feeds you, you don’t know a good person’s heart.

Do you really think he can afford a phone here? Do you think this poor boy can compare to my dear one?

He uses an old, broken Da Mi phone himself, how could he possibly afford a Vertu for you!”

Turning back, she hugged the middle-aged胖子’s arm and said coquettishly, “Baby, I really like Vertu phones, buy me one from here!”

Hearing her call such a greasy middle-aged胖子 “Baby,” Ye Bufan immediately felt a wave of nausea, realizing this woman would do anything for money.

The胖子 waved his hand grandly and said, “No problem, you can have any phone here you like, I’ll buy them all for you!”

When he had just seen He Shuangshuang and Gu Qingcheng, his eyes had widened; he never thought there could be such beautiful women in this world.

Among ordinary people, Huang Xiaoli was quite good-looking, but in front of these two, she was simply an eyesore, completely losing her luster.

Originally, he only intended to buy a ten-thousand-yuan Apple phone to appease her, but to attract the attention of the two beauties, he deliberately acted like he was throwing money around.

Only by making them notice he was rich would he have a chance to make a move later.

Huang Xiaoli, however, didn't know this and said smugly, “See? My dear one is the real rich person.”

He Shuangshuang was truly too lazy to bother with this woman, so she turned to the sales Young Miss and asked, “How much is the most expensive phone you have here?”

The sales Young Miss said, “The most expensive one is this year’s new model, priced at 358,000.”

“I’ll take it.”

He Shuangshuang said and directly threw out her bank card.

To spite Gu Qingcheng, she only bought the most expensive one, not the most suitable one, and didn't even look at the phone's appearance before swiping her card to pay.

In her opinion, if she bought the most expensive phone, then if Gu Qingcheng bought the same model, she would seem to lack her own opinion, and if she bought a cheaper one, she would lose Face.

The sales Young Miss was overjoyed.

Although all customers here were rich, few were so generous.

Selling such a phone meant a considerable commission income.

Her actions were also very professional and swift; she quickly processed the card payment and printed a receipt for 358,000 yuan.

Then, the sales Young Miss took out an exquisite Vertu phone from the counter and handed it to He Shuangshuang with both hands.

He Shuangshuang then pushed it in front of Ye Bufan, saying, “Xiaofan, see if you like it.”

The胖子 and Huang Xiaoli watched dumbfounded; it turned out it wasn't the poor boy who was going to keep the beauty, but the beauty who was going to keep the poor boy.

Ye Bufan opened the box and took out the phone inside.

Although he was someone who didn't care much about phones, he couldn't help but be attracted by the phone's exquisite appearance.

The black casing looked extremely grand, with exquisite materials and fine craftsmanship, instantly giving off a luxurious Qi.

It seemed the world of the rich was indeed different; a 300,000-plus phone was truly different from his previous Da Mi phone.

He Shuangshuang said, “How is it? Do you like it? If not, we can look at another one.”

Ye Bufan said, “No need, this one is quite good.”

Seeing a phone worth over 300,000 yuan given away so casually, Huang Xiaoli immediately felt a pang of jealousy and mockingly said, “Ye Bufan, no wonder you came here to show off; so you became someone’s boy toy.”

Ye Bufan glanced at her, then at the胖子 beside her, and said playfully, “What’s wrong with being kept? Besides, we’re kind of fellow Dao members; aren’t you also being kept?”

“You…”

Huang Xiaoli then realized her own status; she was also being kept, the difference being that the other person was being kept by a great beauty, while she was with an old and ugly man.

Under the huge psychological gap, she could only hope to compensate for her inner disappointment with money.

She shook the胖子’s arm, “Dear, quickly buy me a phone, I want the most expensive one too.”

The胖子 glanced at He Shuangshuang.

It was impossible for him to keep a rich, beautiful, and fair woman like her, so he could only shift his target to the silent Gu Qingcheng beside him.

If he could win over this ice queen, then any amount of money he spent would be worth it.

Thinking this, he feigned generosity and slapped his bank card on the counter, “Give me one of these phones too!”
