Urban Immortal Cultivation Supreme

Chapter 84: Humble Pie



"Brother Zhu, where did you buy this hairpin? It wasn't just from some random street stall, was it?" During mid-dinner, Ye Fei suddenly spoke.

At that moment, although Ye Fei believed that the necklace he bought, worth tens of thousands, was far superior to Zhu Bufan's nameless hairpin, he still felt suffocated every time he saw the hairpin on Xu Fangfang's hair.

Why doesn't she wear my item, worth over ten thousand, right away, but instead chooses to wear Zhu Bufan's cheap hairpin?

So, inevitably, Ye Fei couldn't hold back anymore.

Thus, during the latter half of the dinner, Ye Fei directly addressed Zhu Bufan.

Right when Ye Fei said this, the whole scene quickly quieted down.

With Ye Fei's words, some people's faces showed embarrassment, but others looked schadenfreude.

At that moment, as the hostess, Xu Fangfang's face looked awful!

Ye Fei, what exactly do you mean by that? Firstly, no matter where he bought it from, it's the thought that counts. Asking like this, aren't you making it embarrassing for others right on the spot?

"Ye Fei, what do you mean!" Caught off guard by Ye Fei's sudden question, Zhu Bufan did not feel embarrassed. After all, coming here wasn't Zhu Bufan's own intention, and it didn't matter what he gave to Xu Fangfang. Thus, Zhu Bufan was ready to just find an excuse and brush it off, as he didn't want to be in conflict over jealousy with Ye Fei.

Moreover, there really is nothing to be jealous over, as, currently, women don't hold much attraction for Zhu Bufan!

However, unexpectedly, before Zhu Bufan could speak, Li Muyan, who was beside him, audibly huffed in dissatisfaction.

"It's nothing serious, I just thought the hairpin looked nice. Generally, you wouldn't find such a piece at a street stall, so I was curious where Brother Zhu bought it from; I'd like to buy some myself to give away!" Ye Fei said with a light smile.

The more he looked at Zhu Bufan, the more displeased he became, especially each time he saw Xu Fangfang looking at Zhu Bufan with eager eyes. He felt if he didn't act, he would surely be outdone by this newcomer. Xu Fangfang is someone he had been pursuing for many years; how could he let a stranger take her away?

So, seizing the opportunity, Ye Fei prepared to belittle Zhu Bufan, aiming to make Xu Fangfang realize that Zhu Bufan was just a slightly handsome, poor guy.

"Packing them up? Haha, Ye Fei, no offense, but even this one piece, you can't afford it!" Li Muyan scoffed.

Zhu Bufan might not care, but she had to care. Although she always kept a low profile at school and few among her peers knew her true identity, whether in middle school or high school, she wouldn't allow anyone to insult the person who had saved her in front of her.

"Muyan, aren't you exaggerating a bit? Even if it wasn't bought from a street stall but from a boutique shop, it would cost at most a few thousand dollars. How could I not afford it?" Ye Fei said coldly.

"A few thousand dollars? Haha, a few thousand dollars is barely enough to cover the processing fee. Do you know how much the Lanfei stone embedded in it costs? Together, they're worth millions. Tell me, do you still think this can be bought for a few thousand?" Li Muyan replied coldly.

Upon hearing that this ordinary hairpin was actually worth a million, several people at the scene simultaneously gasped in surprise, especially Xu Fangfang, who had never expected that a casual gift from Zhu Bufan would be so expensive.

Instinctively, she wanted to remove it and return it to Zhu Bufan; after all, the thing was a bit too precious, and she had only just met Zhu Bufan. How could she accept such an expensive gift just upon meeting?

So, Xu Fangfang prepared to take it off.

However, before Xu Fangfang could remove it, she directly heard Ye Fei continue, "Haha, over a million? Muyan, are you joking?" He truly couldn't believe that a small hairpin could be worth so much. In his view, all this was just Li Muyan trying to boost the image of her 'Brother Zhu'.

"I…"

"Alright, Muyan, she's indeed joking. I got this from an unknown place by chance. Actually, it's not that expensive. Come on, since it's our first meeting, I'll toast everyone with tea instead of liquor!"

Zhu Bufan was actually surprised himself, he hadn't expected the item to be so valuable, but since it was given, he maintained his composure while speaking.

Of course, Zhu Bufan also truly didn't believe the item could be worth that much money. If it really were that valuable, he would never take it out.

A joke, spending millions on a gift for a woman he didn't know? Was he foolish?

Even if the woman was very pretty, Zhu Bufan wouldn't spend millions just to win her affection, moreover, Zhu Bufan's pursuits were not focused on women at this time.

So, Zhu Bufan spoke in such a manner.

Seeing Zhu Bufan's composed manner, for some reason, Xu Fangfang actually felt that what Li Muyan said was true—that the hairpin was indeed worth a million. She wanted to remove it, but felt that doing so in front of so many people would tarnish Zhu Bufan's dignity, so she also resorted to picking up a cup from the table to toast.

However, Ye Fei sneered, "Drink tea? If we're drinking, let it be liquor!"

"We're going to sing later. Let's drink liquor later!" Xu Fangfang spoke up.

"Well, alright!" Once Xu Fangfang spoke, Ye Fei naturally couldn't say much more and had to reluctantly raise his cup for a toast, while everyone else also gave their blessings to Xu Fangfang.

After eating, Ye Fei rushed to pay the bill and looked at Zhu Bufan with a smug look. Zhu Bufan just chuckled lightly and didn't mind; he and Xu Fangfang had no relationship, and he wasn't here voluntarily but had been forcefully brought here by that woman Li Muyan. Thus, Zhu Bufan didn't care about Ye Fei's jealousy.

"Fangfang, I've already booked a private room at Shengshi Dynasty, let's go there for karaoke later!" As they left, Ye Fei immediately spoke up.

Xu Fangfang frowned slightly. She understood Ye Fei's feelings, but she couldn't accept them. She had already dissolved the situation when Ye Fei paid the bill earlier, and now heading to such an expensive place, she was ready to refuse when Ye Fei spoke again: "Don't worry about the expense, my sister works there and gave me a 5000 yuan voucher. It's enough for our consumption tonight, and the voucher is about to expire—it would be a waste not to use it…"

"Well, okay then!" Xu Fangfang finally nodded in agreement.
