Chapter 662: Chapter 662: Discarding the Well and Good Lu Yanxi
Qiao Yin sighed lightly, “Yanxi, he really doesn’t deserve you, not just because of his family background, but he doesn’t deserve your sincerity either.”
Lu Yanxi continued to cry, “He said the same thing. He said he prefers ordinary girls and that I’m a princess and he, a poor boy, is not worthy of me. So, I tried hard to become an ordinary girl. I don’t dare to drive the car my dad bought me. I just follow him and take the subway or bus.”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
“Before meeting him each time, I put away my expensive jewelry and switched to a cheap canvas bag instead. Sometimes, when I didn’t have time to switch, he would stare at my bag and jewelry and sigh lightly, making me feel anxious, thinking I hurt his feelings.”
“I also never dare to choose expensive places to eat. I’m afraid he won’t be able to afford the expensive meals and it would make him feel inferior. I even often offered to pay the bill myself just to avoid making him uncomfortable.”
“But last night, he didn’t even pay for our drinks. He had Xie Xingchen pay for them. It didn’t feel right to me since I’m closer to him and it was the three of us drinking. Shouldn’t he have insisted on paying?”
“At least Xingchen didn’t mock me. But if it were someone else, I’m sure they would have ridiculed me for dating a man who doesn’t even pay for drinks. It looks like he’s just freeloading, and he’ll end up being a laughingstock too. I don’t want him to be laughed at.”
“Second Brother probably looked down on him for not being responsible, so he ordered me to go home in Xie Xingchen’s car. He’s worried I would lose out if I stayed with Chen Yuan.”
“Even if I wanted to explain everything to Second Brother, I wouldn’t know how. Second Brother isn’t aware that I had lent him money. If he knew, he would probably scold me to death.”
Qiao Yin continued to comfort Lu Yanxi by patting her back.
So Lu Yanxi was aware of the inappropriateness of Chen Yuan not paying for the drinks last night.
Every time it came to money-related matters, Chen Yuan would always make Lu Yanxi feel wronged. She had already felt it.
Lu Yanxi stopped crying after a long while.
Her eyes were swollen and red as she said to Qiao Yin, “I’m a little hungry. Let’s go eat.”
Qiao Yin felt both sympathetic and amused, “Okay, let’s go eat.”
Thankfully, she still felt hunger and knew she needed to eat. It seemed like she was doing okay after all.
Lu Yanxi didn’t seem well, so Qiao Yin drove her own car to a newly opened restaurant she likes.
Meanwhile, in a BMW on the other side, Chen Yuan was sitting in the back seat, talking with Chen Yue who was in the driver’s seat.
Ever since Chen Yuan started his own business, Chen Yue from the same village has become his business partner.
Even though he was called a partner, Chen Yue had not put in a cent, only holding 10% of the company shares and lending a hand when free.
Sometimes he played the role of a partner, sometimes an assistant, sometimes a driver. It was all to help elevate Chen Yuan’s business image, he could switch roles anytime to better attract clients.
Today, they were partnering up again to attract a client.
However, they had been waiting for the client a bit too long this time, and Chen Yue, hungry, asked impatiently, “Why hasn’t she shown up yet? Give her a nudge, did that woman stand you up?”
Chen Yuan lifted his brand-new Rolex watch to take a look, replied in a patient manner, “Let’s wait a bit longer. We can’t always rush her. Otherwise, it would leave a bad impression.”
Chen Yue scratched his hair irritably, “Not to criticize you, but why did you give up on a good thing like Lu Yanxi for some other women? Isn’t that like picking sesame seeds but losing watermelons?”
Chen Yuan took a look at him, his tone as calm as ever, “You don’t understand. Lu Yanxi is not just any watermelon.”
“How do I not understand? Lu Yanxi is from the prestigious Lu family, a legitimate rich girl, and who is this woman you’re pursuing now? Can she be richer or prettier than Lu Yanxi?”
What do you think?
