âBoyfriend?â Li Yuying furrowed her brow and sneered, âXiaoyu, whatâs the point of such childish matters? Look at what you two came here to buy: a cheap-looking box and a few worthless clothes. Get rid of this poor boy quickly!â
âLook around. Do you see how expensive things are here? Even the cheapest item here costs tens of thousands. Can he afford to buy it for you? But when youâre with Boss Qiao, itâs different. You can come here and buy whatever you want. Thatâs the kind of life a woman should have.â
Li Yuyingâs words fired off like rapid gunshots, leaving no room for others to interrupt.
Ning Xiaoyu wore a faint smile on her face. Li Yuying always talked about money, but no matter how rich she was, could she ever match Brother Xiaofeiâs wealth?
She mentioned that Boss Qiao was willing to spend money on her. Could he buy a house for her and her mother, even a spacious one?
But these thoughts only passed through her mind momentarily. She didnât want to speak about them in front of her cousin; otherwise, it would seem like she was showing off.
So, she didnât take Li Yuyingâs words seriously at all. When Li Yuying paused, Ning Xiaoyu replied with a smile, â1 only like being with Brother Xiaofei.â
Li Yuying displeasedly said, âHow foolish you are! Donât you think about your familyâs situation? Your mother is dying of cancer. Donât you want to get some money to treat her? Maybe not cure her, but at least make her more comfortable, right?â
Ning Xiaoyu hurriedly said, âMy mother is already fine. Brother Xiaofei cured her.â
âFine? How can you say such words? Are you bewitched by this boy? Your mother has cancer, and itâs in the late stage. How can she be fine? Youâre not taking your motherâs situation seriously.â
While Li Yuying spoke, she shook her head continuously.
Ning Xiaoyu rushed to explain, âSheâs better now, and Iâ¦â
Li Yuying waved her hand, saying, âAlright, 1 donât want to hear any more of this. If you have a bit of filial piety and truly think about the mother who gave birth to and raised you, then agree to this matter quickly. Boss Qiao is your only hope.â
Qiao Hongjun directly looked at Ye Xiaofei, raised his chin, and said, âKid, Iâll give you a chance. Iâll give you a hundred thousand. Leave her immediately.â âA hundred thousand?â Ye Xiaofei narrowed his eyes.
Qiao Hongjun glared and said, âTwo hundred thousand! Donât be greedy, or youâll end up with nothing.â
Ye Xiaofei couldnât help but chuckle and said, âSo, youâre trying to threaten me with money, make Xiaoyu feel my weakness, and also showcase your power, right?â
Qiao Hongjun gave a slight snort and said, âWell, youâre quite clever, I must admit. So, I believe you will make a smart choice.â
Ye Xiaofei shook his head and scoffed, âThis trick is just too pathetic. If you want to impress girls, fine, but using money to win them over? Your approach is simple⦠Ugh, so low-class.â
âWhat do you mean?â Qiao Hongjun was a bit bewildered by Ye Xiaofeiâs response.
Ye Xiaofei explained, âIf you want to do something like this, first, you need to make a clear assessment of the other person. For example, for the two of us here, you need to understand whether weâre actually poor and to what extent. Only then can you determine how much money you should spend and whether your own financial resources can support you in playing this game.â
Li Yuying sneered and rolled her eyes, saying, âSounds nice, but I donât think youâre someone capable.â
Ye Xiaofei glanced at Li Yuying as if she were an idiot, then took Ning Xiaoyuâs hand and said to the salesperson who had brought them in, âMiss, could you do me a favor and take a look at this bracelet?â
Everyone instinctively looked at the bracelet on Ning Xiaoyuâs wrist.
It was evident to everyone that the bracelet was very similar to the one in this store.
Li Yuying was the first to react. She examined it carefully, then sneered, âLet me tell you, I looked at ail the bracelets here a few days ago, and Iâve never seen this style. Boy, donât tell me youâre trying to pass off this bracelet as a genuine Bulgari to Xiaoyu.â
Ye Xiaofei shook his head and said, âYouâre the kind of woman who immediately dismisses something she doesnât recognize. Itâs like being a frog in a well. Come on, let the professionals take a look.â
The salesperson quickly approached and examined the bracelet, their expression becoming increasingly excited.
Li Yuying couldnât help but feel nervous and quickly said to the salesperson, âHey, donât make up stories. This style has never been sold in your store. Donât tell me this is genuine.â
Without lifting their heads, the salesperson replied, âThis bracelet is a limited edition custom design by Bulgari. Itâs not sold in stores. In our country, there are no more than thirty of these bracelets, and today Iâm fortunate enough to see one. Itâs truly a blessing.â
âIs it⦠very expensive?â Ning Xiaoyu asked hesitantly.
âOf course, at least eight hundred thousand.â
âWhat? Eight hundred thousand!â
Ning Xiaoyu and Li Yuying both exclaimed in shock..
