The Price of Greed
When money becomes a person’s sole focus, they often abandon their dignity.
Zhao Feifei scrambled to Yang Chen’s feet, pleading, “Chen, I know I messed up. Can you please forgive me this time? We just started seeing each other, and he only held my hand. I’m still completely yours. Chen, let’s make our relationship work. I’ll cut ties with Chen Xinyi. I’ll give you lots of children, and I’ll take good care of you and them. Okay?”
It seems that birds of a feather flock together.
Chen Xinyi immediately retorted, “Zhao Feifei, how can you say that? I always encouraged you to make things work with Yang Chen. You’re the one who’s so materialistic, always dreaming of designer bags, luxury cars, and mansions. You kept asking me to introduce you to rich guys, and you were upset when I didn’t. How can you say such things? Don’t you feel any guilt? Yang Chen, this has nothing to do with me. She kept pressuring me to introduce her to rich guys. I couldn’t resist her constant nagging, so I reluctantly agreed to her request.”
Zhao Feifei immediately fired back, “If you hadn’t flaunted your wealth in front of me every day and filled my head with materialistic ideas, would I have become like this?”
“Oh, so if I told you to kill someone, would you go kill them? If I told you to do drugs, would you do drugs? You’re an adult. You’re capable of making your own decisions. If you didn’t want to, could a few words from me really change your mind? Don’t act like a [hypocritical] prostitute who wants to build a monument to chastity!” Chen Xinyi retorted angrily.
What does it mean to watch dogs fighting? Just look at Zhao Feifei and Chen Xinyi.
The rich guy, Li Cheng, quickly stepped forward to offer Yang Chen a cigarette, but Yang Chen didn’t even acknowledge him.
Li Cheng quickly bowed and said humbly, “Mr. Yang, this is all a misunderstanding. We just started seeing her today—oh, no, we haven’t officially started seeing each other yet, just trying to date. I didn’t know she was Mr. Yang’s girlfriend. Otherwise, even if God gave me a hundred guts, I wouldn’t dare to have any involvement with her. Mr. Yang, please be generous and forgive me this time, considering I didn’t know.”
Yang Chen put down his chopsticks, wiped his mouth with a tissue, and turned to look at Cheng Dawu, saying, “Manager Cheng, I just praised you for being sensible. Why are you confused again? Don’t you know what to do? Do you think I’m in the mood to eat in this environment?”
Cheng Dawu immediately understood and quickly signaled the waiters and security guards to forcibly remove Zhao Feifei and the others.
Anyway, the restaurant doesn’t need their money. At worst, they’ll offer them some compensation.
But making the second boss unhappy is absolutely not allowed.
The waiters and security guards were not gentle with Zhao Feifei and the others, dragging them out.
Cheng Dawu also reminded Li Cheng that his ingredient deliveries would no longer be accepted, as he had been disqualified as a supplier.
Li Cheng was now as regretful and embarrassed as he had been confident and arrogant.
Yang Chen turned to look at the women who had been gossiping earlier, immediately startling them.
“Handsome, we misunderstood earlier; that’s why we said bad things about you. We corrected ourselves as soon as we knew the truth.”
“Yeah! We even helped you scold them just now, so don’t blame us.”
…
Yang Chen chuckled.
