Chapter 1386 Are you rich?

Lan Bingyu's expression turned serious as she put away her playful demeanor and said, "Today is my university classmates' reunion, and I need you to pretend to be my boyfriend."

Ye Bufan asked, "What, is having a boyfriend a standard requirement for your university reunions?"

"Not exactly, but the situation today is a bit special," Lan Bingyu explained. "When I was in school, there was a male classmate named Pirlo who pursued me, and he's been pursuing me for all these years.

After I came to work at Angel Group, he's now my direct superior.

Today's class reunion was initiated by him, and I heard his goal is to propose to me publicly.

Since everyone is a classmate, plus the work relationship, it's a bit awkward to refuse him directly. If I bring you, my boyfriend, he'll give up on that idea, which would be for the best."

"I see, I'm just a shield."

"It's good that you understand," Lan Bingyu said. "Perform well later, and don't mess things up for me."

"Don't worry, I'm a professional at this."

Ye Bufan chuckled. He had played the role of a shield many times before and was very familiar with the business.

After clarifying the matter, Lan Bingyu started the car directly. About half an hour later, they arrived at an elegantly styled private club called Red Rose.

"It seems he's quite sincere; even the club he chose is so fitting," Ye Bufan chuckled. "If that guy named Pirlo was half as handsome as me, you should just go with him."

"Mind your own business," Lan Bingyu glared at him fiercely. "First, I don't like Westerners; if I were to look for someone, it would be a Huaxia person.

Second, I don't like his personality; he's not my type."

With that, she reached out and linked her arm through Ye Bufan's, walking intimately towards the club. Just as they reached the entrance, a young couple suddenly walked out from inside.

The woman was in her twenties, with an average appearance but dressed very alluringly.

Upon seeing the man beside her, a smile involuntarily appeared on Ye Bufan's lips. He happened to know this person; it was Pan Hao, the Young Master of the Pan family from the Imperial Capital.

Earlier, in the Imperial Capital, Ye Bufan had completely crushed the Pan family's businesses. Pan Hao had followed his second uncle, Pan Guangfa, to Apple City to handle a few properties there.

Later, Pan Guangfa returned to Huaxia early, but Pan Hao did not follow him back, choosing to stay here instead.

At the same time, Pan Hao also saw Ye Bufan, and a look of horror appeared on his face, clearly quite surprised.

If there was anyone in this world

he least wanted to see, it was this Young man in front of him, who made him both hate and fear, wishing he could hide far away whenever he saw him.

"Oh, isn't this our class beauty, Lan Bingyu?"

The woman, Huang Xiaoqi, approached Lan Bingyu with a Yin and Yang tone. It was clear, without needing to be said, that although the two were very familiar, their relationship was not very good.

"This is Huang Xiaoqi, a classmate from our class. She's a complete gold-digger and very narrow-minded; she gets incredibly jealous if she sees anyone doing better than her."

Lan Bingyu whispered to Ye Bufan, then politely went to greet her.

"Oh, it's Xiaoqi. You're quite early."

"It's a class reunion, so of course, I have to come a bit early."

After Huang Xiaoqi finished speaking, her gaze fell on Ye Bufan. Seeing his ordinary attire, a look of disdain appeared in her eyes.

"Class beauty, who is this?"

"Oh! Let me introduce you. This is my boyfriend, Ye Bufan. This is my classmate, Huang Xiaoqi."

Lan Bingyu politely introduced the two.

"Class beauty, you're beautiful, but your taste in boyfriends really isn't great."

Huang Xiaoqi shook her head while sizing up Ye Bufan, "Let me tell you, being beautiful is something for us women. The most important thing for a man is to have money and a career.

But your boyfriend doesn't seem to be doing so well. He can't even afford a branded suit, and he doesn't even have a gold watch. How can he come to a class reunion like this?"

Lan Bingyu just smiled slightly, having long known what kind of person this woman was, and paid no attention to anything she said.

But the more she acted this way, the more triumphant Huang Xiaoqi became. In school, Lan Bingyu was prettier than her, had better grades, and was always a step above her in everything.

But now, the man she found was not as good as hers, which made her vanity instantly explode.

As an extremely vain woman, she certainly wouldn't miss this rare opportunity. She reached out, pulled Pan Hao, and said, "Look at our A-Hao. Not to mention his company with hundreds of millions in assets in the Imperial Capital of Huaxia, he has tens of millions in real estate in Apple City in M Country alone.

You should find a man like this. He has no other优点, he just has money…"

Huang Xiaoqi spoke endlessly, but she didn't notice the expression on the man beside her.

At this moment, Pan Hao was gritting his teeth, wishing he could stuff this big-mouthed woman's mouth with a sock.

In Huaxia, Ye Bufan had said he would make their Pan family completely bankrupt and turn him into a pauper, and now this woman

was dragging him to show off wealth in front of the other party. Wasn't this asking for death?

He had thoroughly experienced the power of this man in front of him. Once the other party knew he still had a few properties in M Country, the trouble would be huge.

Ye Bufan's face showed a playful expression as he looked at Huang Xiaoqi and said, "What? Is your boyfriend very rich?"

"Of course…"

Huang Xiaoqi had just started to speak when Pan Hao covered her mouth, then nervously said, "No, no, I'm very poor. It's just a misunderstanding, I was lying to her before…"

"Let go of me! Why won't you let me speak?"

Extremely displeased, Huang Xiaoqi pulled Pan Hao's hand away, "Didn't you personally tell me that your family has hundreds of millions in assets in the Imperial Capital of Huaxia, and is especially rich?"

Pan Hao was filled with regret at this moment. It was one thing for him to show off casually before, but he never expected this big-mouthed woman to run to Ye Bufan and flaunt their wealth.

"Xiaoqi, actually, I was lying to you. My family used to be rich, but then we went bankrupt, and now I'm penniless…"

"Impossible! What about your properties in Apple City? If sold, they'd be worth at least tens of millions of usd…"

"I…"

Pan Hao wished he could strangle this woman. He glanced at Ye Bufan and said sheepishly, "Actually, those houses belong to friends; they have nothing to do with me. I'm just temporarily staying there."

"You…"

Huang Xiaoqi's face turned red with anger. She had originally wanted to show off and display her superiority in front of Lan Bingyu, but she didn't expect her boyfriend to suddenly chicken out, which made her extremely upset.

Ye Bufan said playfully, "Miss Huang, the boyfriend you found isn't very good. He seems to be even less wealthy than I am."

"Less, less, really less."

Pan Hao nodded repeatedly. He knew that this Young man in front of him was truly worth hundreds of millions, someone who could make him lose everything with a single word.

"You… Pan Hao, you're really useless. You've disappointed me so much."

Huang Xiaoqi was showing off her wealth, but her boyfriend was repeatedly claiming poverty, which infuriated her. She turned and walked into the club.

"Darling, wait a moment, let me explain…"

Pan Hao quickly chased after her.

Ye Bufan smiled, "Alright, let's go in too."

Lan Bingyu asked curiously, "Xiao Fan, what's going on? Do you know Huang Xiaoqi's boyfriend? He seems very afraid of you?"
