Hearing Chen Yaâs words, everyoneâs eyes fell on Lin Yi.
They had long known that Lin Yi was a pretty boy, but hadnât thought much about it. After all, everyone had their own aspirations.
But now, hearing it blatantly from this woman was a bit too much.
However, it was true. He was just a gigolo.
âIâm really impressed with you people. Every day you have a lot of trivial matters,â Lin Yi said.
âWe just here to buy some clothes. Who cares who pays?â
With that, Lin Yi pulled out his bank card and handed it to the cashier.
âSwipe the card, the password is 00000.â
They saw Lin Yi pull out a bank card.
Chen Ya was stunned
The cashier was also stunned.
Wasnât he supposed to be living off a rich woman?
Where did he get the money to pay?
If he was so rich, why would he need to rely on a sugar mommy?
âWhat are you waiting for? Swipe the card.â
âOh, sir, please wait a moment.â
The cashier quickly processed the payment.
After entering the password, a beep was heard.
Transaction completed!
Lin Yi had just spent nearly a million without a blink!
Chen Yaâs face turned red and white, feeling utterly humiliated.
She couldnât understand where this pretty boy got so much money.
Maybe Yan Ci gave it to him?
That seemed the only possibility.
âI admire you too, having a three-second weakling as a boyfriend and still mocking others,â Lin Yi said.
âYour tactics are shameless enough to be in textbooks.â
Lin Yi then wrapped his arm around Yan Ciâs waist and walked out of the store under everyoneâs gaze.
âI have to say, the flesh around your waist is just right. Itâs getting more comfortable to touch.â
âStop it for now, itâs making me all sweaty. Save it for when weâre alone tonight,â Yan Ci said, looking at her watch. âLetâs go pick up the others. Donât be late.â
âDonât worry, with me around, we wonât be late.â
Lin Yi stepped on the gas and drove towards the high-speed rail station.
The station was bustling with people.
Yan Ci, holding Lin Yiâs arm, stood at the exit, creating a striking scene.
Yan Ciâs curvy figure and impressive dimensions drew more than a few glances.
After about ten minutes, the stationâs loudspeaker announced the arrival of a train, and soon people started to come out one after another.
At the same time, a middle-aged woman and a young woman in her late twenties came out, pulling a large suitcase.
âMom, itâs just a medical check-up. Why did you call Yan Ci? Your future son-in-law is a government officer with broad connections in Zhonghai. He can get you the best medical care in no time.â
The middle-aged woman, Tang Li, was Yan Ciâs aunt.
The young woman, Zhou Xinyu, was Yan Ciâs cousin, but they werenât very close.
Yan Ciâs parents were busy with work, so she often stayed at her auntâs house when she was young.
Yan Ci was excellent in her studies and beautiful, liked by both classmates and teachers.
On the other hand, Zhou Xinyu couldnât compare to Yan Ci in any way.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Her father, with a bad temper, always compared the two, creating a deep resentment in Zhou Xinyu towards Yan Ci.
Hence, Zhou Xinyu directly called Yan Ci by her name instead of acknowledging her as a cousin.
Yan Ci, aware of this, rarely contacted Zhou Xinyu very much.
She was only doing this as a favor to her aunt, otherwise she wouldnât have meddled in their business.
âYouâre not married yet. Itâs not good to trouble others,â Tang Li said.
âYan Ci is family. Itâs better to ask for help from family than outsiders. How can you not understand such simple courtesy?â
Tang Li felt a bit frustrated.
Her daughter compared to her niece was lacking in many ways.
âWeâre nearly ready to meet the parents. Their marriage is all but certain. How can you call them outsiders?â
âWhat do you mean by a done deal?â Tang Li said.
âNothing is certain until the marriage is settled. Itâs a big deal. We have to see what kind of family they are. If theyâre unreasonable, I wonât agree to the marriage.â
âNo need to worry. I know them well. His parents and sister are very nice,â Zhou Xinyu said.
âI canât take your word for it. I need to discuss it with your cousin. This isnât a small matter.â
âWhy do you have to discuss everything with my cousin?â Zhou Xinyu said impatiently.
âThis is our family matter. What does it have to do with her?â
âFamily matter? Yanyan is your cousin; youâre family!â Tang Li said sternly.
âNo matter what, youâll live in Zhonghai in the future. With your cousin doing well here, she can look out for you. In this society, who would help you if not family?â
âAlright, alright, enough. Letâs not talk about this,â Zhou Xinyu said impatiently, dragging the suitcase towards the exit.
âDonât be impatient.â Tang Li said.
âYour cousinâs boyfriend is also coming. Donât put on a long face when you meet him. Your cousin owes you nothing.â
âItâs not a big deal. Iâve met her boyfriend before. Heâs not as good as mine.â
Zhou Xinyu was referring to Yan Ciâs ex-boyfriend.
She wasnât aware they had broken up.
âThat was her ex. I heard they broke up.â
âBroke up?â Zhou Xinyu was surprised. âHer ex wasnât as good as my boyfriend, but he was decent. Why did they break up?â
âI donât know. Your aunt said she has a new boyfriend. She wants me to check him out.â
âSheâs too ambitious and never satisfied,â Zhou Xinyu said.
âIâve seen it oftenâthinking sheâs capable and constantly changing boyfriends, each one worse than the last.â
âWe canât say what kind of person he is.â Tang Li said.
âBut your cousin has been in Zhonghai for years. I trust her judgment.â
âYouâre blindly confident,â Zhou Xinyu said dismissively. âHe might be worse than the last one.â
âStop worrying about her and focus on yourself.â
Zhou Xinyu pouted, instinctively believing that Yan Ciâs new boyfriend couldnât be better than hers.
