Chapter 1953: Chapter 1954: Lost the Bet
Cui Jiangjing fell back in frustration, his handsome face turning iron blue, "... I know nothing!"
Fu Yi didn’t give him any face, mocking him, "Hahaha."
"Laugh at your own sister!" Cui Jiangjing was furious, pulled out a black card from his wallet, and kicked him, "Damn fox, take the money and get lost!"
Fu Yi elegantly adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses, took the card with a smile, "I’ll take Mr. Cui’s black card, thank you for the five million, it solves my urgent need perfectly."
Cui Jiangjing lost money and was outwitted, couldn’t help but scorn, "What urgent need do you have! Not long ago, you kept it from me and made a fortune in real estate with Shengxiao. Your wallet is about to burst with money, and yet you have the nerve to trick a poor man like me. Aren’t you afraid of being struck by lightning!"
Fu Yi accepted his black card, putting it into his own wallet in front of him, with gentle elegance, his fox-like eyes glancing at him, "No one ever says they have too much money."
"..."
"I’ve got my eye on a watch, the new Patek Philippe.
Cui Jiangjing isn’t one to be unable to afford losses, his petulance was only because he gambled and lost. Surprised, he asked, "Aren’t you the one who never wears watches? Why buy that thing?"
Fu Yi crossed his legs, feeling rather good, "For someone else."
"For whom?"
He’s a lone bachelor with a runaway wife, who could he be buying a million-dollar gift for?!
"Your sister-in-law."
Fu Yi had very beautiful eyes, with thin eyelids and slightly upturned corners, looking like a mix of peach blossom eyes and phoenix eyes. Usually, he hid those excessively enchanting eyes behind glasses, making them hard to notice. Just then, he took off his glasses, and those features were revealed to everyone. They were indeed too stunning, almost to a point of indifference.
Cui Jiangjing couldn’t help but click his tongue, "Why take off your glasses when talking! I’m hosting a single’s night for Shengxiao, not you, keep it down and don’t charm away all the girls."
His tone bubbled with jealousy.
No choice. Given his looks, he’s at least high-quality among the Capital City’s circle, thanks to those two friends he made, each looking more excessively attractive than the other. His teenage years could only be described as unbearable — in school, no matter which girl he liked, she’d have a crush on his friends! Finally, he’d get a girlfriend, but she’d shyly open up and confess to his friends instead!
Over time, his views on love subtly twisted into their current state.
Alas, hence he became a free-spirited drifter, those two damned friends carry a lot of the blame!
He protested irritably, "Who did you say the gift is for?"
"Your sister-in-law," Fu Yi was rather patient.
He doubted his ears, reflexively asking, "Which sister-in-law of mine?"
Fu Yi’s eyes narrowed slightly, "Which sister-in-law do you have? I’ve only been married once."
He suddenly realized, "You mean the runaway one, did you find her?"
Fu Yi glanced towards Li Shengxiao, nodding, "Shengxiao helped, we temporarily found her."
"She still has some misunderstandings with me like before, to keep her from running off again, that watch is my thanks on her behalf."
Cui Jiangjing realized in an enlightened "Oh", but soon caught on, "Hey, wait. You’re chasing your wife, and I’m paying for the gift?"
It’s not his wife who ran away!
Why should he spend money to buy a Patek Philippe for someone else?
