Yu Lili was both envious and jealous.
If she had known Yang was such a rich tycoon, she would have made her move herself.
After fishing for a wealthy husband for so long, she ended up pushing the golden catch into someone else’s arms; it was no longer about regretting until her guts turned green, but black with regret!
It felt like you gave someone a set of lottery numbers that were bound to win the jackpot, and then they bought the ticket, but you didn’t!
This is damn frustrating!
“This bracelet looks better and better the more you look at it, I really love it!”
“If only someone would gift me one…”
At that moment, Zhou Ling’s eyes were sparkling with longing as she sighed.
If someone gave me one, I’d truly be willing to give up being single,” said Meng Yuyu half-jokingly and half-seriously.
“Yuyu, am I hearing this right? What is it that you want?”
Just then, a male member who had just finished a private lesson with Meng Yuyu walked over. This guy, aiming to please Meng Yuyu, had purchased a package of thirty private sessions with her. The result was only occasional physical contact during the lessons, with no chance to get any closer.
So when he came out of the elevator and heard Meng Yuyu say she’d end her single status for a certain gift, this prominent catch from Meng Yuyu’s pond was quite excited.
“Xu, are you going to give it to me?”
Meng Yuyu looked at him, smiling coyly.
“As long as you like it, of course, I’ll gift it to you”
This Xu, with a wave of his hand, was very generous.
“Alright, it’s this bracelet then.”
Meng Yuyu took Zhou Ling’s phone and showed him the LV bracelet from Sun Xinyi’s social media feed.
Xu caught sight of the cleverly embedded LV logo on the bracelet and his demeanor faltered a bit, but he kept a tough front: “It’s just a bracelet, right? I’ll get it for you.”
“Xu, aren’t you going to ask about the price of this bracelet?”
Yu Lili, who had become quite familiar with him because he was always fawning over Meng Yuyu, spoke up promptly.
“As long as Yuyu likes it.”
Xu acted as if money was no object, but still casually asked, “How much is it?”
“Just over fifty thousand. For Xu, that’s naturally just pocket change,”
Meng Yuyu chimed in with a smile, pushing him into a corner.
However, upon hearing the price, Xu’s smile twitched. He had thought it would be just ten or twenty thousand, which he could have grudgingly managed to buy, but over fifty thousand was way beyond his expectations.
“Well, an LV bracelet is worth the price!”
After a moment’s hesitation, Xu nodded and then waved at Meng Yuyu: “Yuyu, I’ve got to go, we’ll chat on WeChat.”
With that, he quickly left the fitness center.
Meng Yuyu shook her head gently. She knew Xu’s financial situation well and understood he couldn’t afford it, but she had still egged him on, hoping he might just be impulsive enough.
But the truth is, if it were a one or two thousand yuan item, an impulsive person might just swipe their credit card and buy it. Over fifty thousand, though, was not a matter of impulsiveness!
“That Xu sure can pretend, claiming he’d gift whatever Yuyu liked.”
“But as soon as he heard the price, he didn’t dare to bring it up again!”
Yu Lili scoffed with derision.
“It’s mainly because it’s too expensive, this little bracelet for over fifty thousand is outrageous!” Zhou Ling exclaimed, and then added: “And I wonder what exactly Yang does for a living; he’s spent over a hundred thousand on Xinyi in just a few days!”
“By the way, Lingling, Yuyu, you guys have to see this Kuaiyin!”
Yu Lili recalled the Kuaiyin video she had come across earlier and asked the two to watch it together.
“Isn’t that Sun Xinyi and Yang?”
“That’s right, it’s them!”
Zhou Ling and Meng Yuyu also recognized the two people in the video as Sun Xinyi and Yang Hao.
“This Kuaiyin video actually has over three hundred thousand likes, and there are more than seventy thousand comments,” Zhou Ling remarked as she looked at the data, letting out a sigh.
“Yang is incredibly low-profile, he’s even riding an electric scooter…” Meng Yuyu found it unbelievable.
“It’s precisely because he was so low-profile that I misjudged him the first time he came to our shop!” Yu Lili said with a face full of regret.
At this moment, Meng Yuyu’s brain was quickly spinning, and then she thought of an opportunity to strike up a conversation with Yang Hao. Carrying a thermos, she went into the rest room but did not hurry to get water. Instead, she found the video Yu Lili had come across on Kuaiyin, downloaded it, and forwarded it to Yang Hao.
This tea artist, who had more than six levels of expertise, had added Yang Hao on Weixun just yesterday, but she didn’t act rashly because being too forward could make a man feel she was cheap. Even though she had resolved to take the initiative, she needed to wait for the right moment.
And now, the moment had arrived. After sending the video, she sent Yang a message: “Yang, the people in the video are you and Xinyi, right? You seem to have become internet celebrities!”
Yang Hao received the Weixun message just as he had dropped Xixi off at the art studio. Many parents of children Xixi’s age were already enrolling their kids in various extracurricular classes, and since Xixi was particularly interested in painting, Yang Hao had enrolled her in a painting class. It was held twice a week at fifty yuan per session, which wasn’t too expensive.
The painting class was sixty minutes long, and for the moment, Yang Hao was sitting in the parents’ rest room of the tutorial center, He opened the video Meng Yuyu had sent and naturally recognized that it was him and Sun Xinyi in the video.
Who’s got such idle time!
Take the video if you must, but why post it online!
After watching the video, Yang Hao couldn’t help but silently mock it in his mind.
Then, Meng Yuyu sent another Weixun message: “Yang, the video has over three hundred thousand likes already. You can go check it out on Kuaiyin.”
After sending this message, Meng Yuyu thoughtfully sent a link to the original video as well.
Yang Hao copied the link, then curiously opened Kuaiyin.
The caption for the video was: “I sat in a BMW and smoked a pack of cigarettes, but still couldn’t figure out where I went wrong?”
This short video of just over ten seconds had already racked up 360,000 likes and more than 70,000 comments,
[“Not to mention anything else, but those long legs alone should be in the passenger seat of a Porsche.”]
[“Girls like this are really rare these days; I hope this lady wins.”]
[“We’re both riding electric scooters, but I can’t even find a girlfriend.”]
[“Damn, I drive a Mercedes and I still don’t get it!!”]
[“No face, no comment, for all we know, it could be an ugly bastard!”]
[“Are you tricking me into buying an electric scooter again????”]
[“Envious of the big brother, definitely a legend in playing legs…”]
Just as Yang Hao was browsing through the comments with interest, the system notification sound once again echoed in his mind.
Ding!
