55. Break Them Up_What’s Wrong with a Ride-Hailing Driver Having Some Money?
Xu Xiaowan was very puzzled by Yang Chen’s behavior. She quickly stepped forward and asked, “Yang Chen, what are you doing? These things are very expensive. There’s no need to buy gifts for someone you barely know just to compete with others.”
Fang Huihui shook her head, thinking, “That idiot! Does she really think they don’t know each other? If that’s the case, I’ll stand on my head and wash my hair. That scumbag has a glint in his eyes; he’s definitely up to something.”
After Yang Chen’s one-night stand with Wang Jiayi, she left him three thousand yuan.
Yang Chen felt humiliated. He wasn’t a gigolo, so why give him money?
He wanted to use this opportunity to buy things and return the three thousand yuan to her through the commission he’d generate for her.
He also wanted to goad Li Ya into spending more, helping Wang Jiayi get some revenge.
“I can’t stand people competing with me! Today, I’m buying expensive things. I want Miss Wang to wait on me hand and foot! And let’s buy you a bag too, Xiaowan. Miss Wang, pick out a bag for Xu Xiaowan as well. You two choose the most expensive ones, one for each of you, or people will think I’m broke,” Yang Chen said deliberately.
“Damn! Is he talking to me? How expensive of a bag can a ride-hailing driver even afford? Wang Jiayi, bring over that 128,000 yuan bag we saw last time,” Zhou Jun said.
Wang Jiayi quickly retrieved the 128,000 yuan bag and handed it to Li Ya.
“Xiaoya, you’re so lucky. He’s really willing to spend money on you,” Wang Jiayi flattered.
Other salespersons joined in, making Li Ya feel pleased with herself.
“Of course, my darling doesn’t lack money and is never stingy with me. Hey, handsome, can you even afford this 128,000 yuan bag?” Li Ya said smugly.
Yang Chen smiled and said, “Are you kidding? How could a ride-hailing driver like me afford a 128,000 yuan bag? Brother, I admire you! You’re really rich; I’m just pretending. Miss Wang, please go and help them. Sigh…”
He pretended to walk away, feigning embarrassment.
Wang Jiayi was laughing inwardly, barely able to contain herself.
Zhou Jun suddenly realized something was wrong.
“Kid, you’re deliberately provoking me to buy expensive things, aren’t you? Something’s not right. You’re setting me up!” Zhou Jun said.
*Damn, he’s sharp.* He figured it out.
Yang Chen quickly replied, “Brother, that’s not a nice thing to say. I’m just a ride-hailing driver. It’s normal that I can’t afford such expensive things, isn’t it? If I could afford bags like that, would I still be driving a ride-hailing car? If you think it’s too expensive and don’t want to buy it, just say so. Why are you trying to make me look bad? Beauty, isn’t it obvious he thinks it’s too expensive and doesn’t want to buy it? Otherwise, who would compare their wealth to a ride-hailing driver?”
Li Ya had long coveted this bag and had always wanted to buy it.
Zhou Jun had finally agreed, and she wouldn’t let him back out.
“Honey, you’re not really thinking it’s too expensive, are you? You don’t want to spend this money on me?” Li Ya questioned.
Zhou Jun quickly explained, “It’s not that I think it’s too expensive, or that I don’t want to spend money on you, but this is a trap. Haven’t you noticed?”
Li Ya didn’t care about any traps. All she wanted was the 128,000 yuan bag.
Even if it was Yang Chen’s trick, she accepted it. She even wanted to thank Yang Chen for the opportunity to get the bag.
Again, a woman who willingly offers herself for money only cares about material things.
Wang Jiayi had been dealing with this odd couple for over an hour, and she didn’t want Zhou Jun to give up now.
“Zhou Jun, you always say you’re rich. Xiaoya is pregnant with your child, and you’re not willing to spend money on her. That’s too much,” Wang Jiayi said.
The only reason Zhou Jun fell into Yang Chen’s trap was his interest in Wang Jiayi.
Now that he knew he’d been tricked, Wang Jiayi’s sarcastic comments made him angry.
“If you keep yapping, I’ll slap you!” Zhou Jun said, raising his hand.
Yang Chen grabbed Zhou Jun’s neck and warned, “What’s the big deal about bullying a woman? If you want to fight, I’ll spar with you. Come on, let’s go a few rounds.”
Zhou Jun tried to struggle, but Yang Chen tightened his grip, making it hard to breathe. His throat hurt from being pinched.
Wang Jiayi hid behind Yang Chen, feeling like he was her protector, shielding her from harm.
After nearly ten years of drifting, she felt the happiness of being protected for the first time.
“Let go, or I’ll make sure you can’t survive in Haicheng!” Zhou Jun threatened.
The store manager didn’t want a fight, so she gave Wang Jiayi a look.
Wang Jiayi understood and hugged Yang Chen, pulling him back. “Okay, okay, don’t argue with him. Let go, or we’ll end up at the police station,” Wang Jiayi said.
Yang Chen let go, but glared at Zhou Jun.
Knowing he was no match for Yang Chen, Zhou Jun left quickly.
“We’ll see!” Zhou Jun said and turned to leave.
Li Ya grabbed him, saying, “What are you doing? You were bullied, and you’re just leaving? Hit him back!”
Zhou Jun wanted to fight back, but he didn’t dare.
Yang Chen had subdued him instantly, so he couldn’t risk further embarrassment.
“Can you shut your stinky mouth! Are you leaving or not?” Zhou Jun retorted.
“What did you say? You were bullied and didn’t dare to fight back, and you’re taking it out on me! What a man! I can leave, but you have to buy me the bag!” Li Ya said angrily.
“I’ll buy your mom! Go if you want, I don’t care about you! I won’t buy the bag, so forget it!” Zhou Jun cursed, then went downstairs.
Li Ya saw her former colleagues looking at her with pity and mockery, and she snapped.
“Zhou Jun, you stop right there! You have to buy this bag today, whether you want to or not! If you don’t buy it, I’ll get an abortion right now, and see how you explain it to your parents!” Li Ya roared.
The child. Every time they argued, she used the child as a threat. Zhou Jun was fed up.
“Go get an abortion then! Who knows if the child is mine! You sleep with me for money, so you can sleep with others for money too. How do I know if I’m the sucker? Go get it done, hurry up!” Zhou Jun shouted.
There was no real affection between them. One willingly offered herself for money, and the other was forced to stay because of the child.
Such a relationship was bound to fall apart.
“Zhou Jun! You bastard! Say that again!” Li Ya roared and chased after him.
Men care about face, especially rich second-generation [wealthy individuals who inherited their wealth] like Zhou Jun.
Since they’d said everything, Zhou Jun couldn’t back down. “I’ll say it! How do I know who the bastard in your belly belongs to! You…”
But before Zhou Jun could finish, Li Ya had an accident.
Li Ya was too anxious and missed a step, falling face-first.
“Ah…”
“Bang!”
Li Ya screamed and fell heavily.
