Chapter 61 The Little Girl
Seeing the little girl's face full of Eight Diagrams gossip, Fang Yu took a deep breath.
How young she is, yet all day long she's obsessed with love and romance, such a little imp.
"Do you think your sister is outstanding?" Instead of directly answering Jiang Xiaoxiao's question, Fang Yu asked in return.
Jiang Xiaoxiao was slightly startled, a look of pride appeared on her face, her nostrils flaring as she proudly said: "My sister is the second most beautiful woman in the universe, not just in Jiangzhou!"
"Huh? Who's the first?" Fang Yu asked, curious.
"Rubbish, of course it's me!" Jiang Xiaoxiao expressed severe disdain for his IQ.
"—"
"Like my sister, who's not only pretty but also controls Qingcheng Group at such a young age, tell me, how could she not be outstanding?" Jiang Xiaoxiao said.
"Oh. What about me then?" Fang Yu asked curiously.
Jiang Xiaoxiao tilted her head and gave him a once-over with a look of disdain—same old casualness, tasteless clothes, he just looked like a country bumpkin.
"You? Mediocre looks, poor dress sense, poor hairstyle, poor taste, poor quality... I suspect my sister must be blind to let you through our door. Tell me, did you save the universe in your last life?" Jiang Xiaoxiao said earnestly.
"Am I really that bad?" Fang Yu was highly dissatisfied, "I'll tell you a principle very seriously, don't judge a book by its cover or a sea by its width. Back in the day, I was a person of high standing in Jiangzhou, pursued by countless young admirers... Ah, I always felt that the handsome and dashing me back then was burdened with unwarranted charm."
Jiang Xiaoxiao looked at him as if he was a fool, saying: "Okay, I've discovered that you do have one strength—you're quite humorous. Continue—"
Fang Yu said innocently: "I'm sincerely sharing my past with you, can you please not interrupt?" Seeing Jiang Xiaoxiao stick out her tongue and make a face at him, Fang Yu magnanimously continued: "It's precisely because of that pressure that I chose to drop out. Then I became a delinquent, totally lost my way, and regretted it to death. Sigh... You have to study hard and not end up like me, who can only rely on this face to get by."
"—"
Jiang Xiaoxiao was dumbfounded.
"That awesome?"
"Exactly that awesome, convinced or not?" Fang Yu was proud.
"A man doesn't boast about past bravery. All I know is that you're a doctor now, living off of my sister's provision. Still boasting so shamelessly? Aren't you afraid all the cows in heaven will fall down and destroy the Earth?!" Jiang Xiaoxiao ground her teeth as she said.
"If you keep this up I don't think we need to continue this conversation," Fang Yu said with rolling eyes. "I just said, you can't judge a person by their appearance."
"So what?"
"In conclusion, someone as outstanding as me, I have every reason to believe that your sister has taken a liking to me." Fang Yu said sneakily.
"Ptui—" Jiang Xiaoxiao spit fiercely.
"If you keep this up, I'm going to sleep!" Fang Yu said discontentedly.
"Your ambition surely knows no bounds," Jiang Xiaoxiao said in a ghostly tone.
"How is it boundless?"
"The toad wants to eat swan meat, isn't that ambitious enough?" Jiang Xiaoxiao mocked.
Hearing this, Fang Yu didn't say another word, pulled up the soft long blanket on the bed, covered himself, and instantly started snoring.
I knew this girl had nothing good to say, can't I just avoid trouble if I can't deal with it?
"Small-minded," Jiang Xiaoxiao said begrudgingly, "Alright, I shouldn't tell you the truth and hurt your self-esteem."
She stretched out her white little hand, and with a playful smile, yanked the blanket off Fang Yu, and continued: "So, about that, can you lend me some money?"
Oh, so this whole time this young lady was here to borrow money!
No wonder she's been beating around the bush and not leaving, but why the poor attitude! As he saw her mischievous face, Fang Yu was afraid she would hold a grudge and make things difficult for him later, so in order to foster a good relationship, he said: "How much?"
Seeing how agreeable he was, Jiang Xiaoxiao revealed a row of white teeth, grinned and cheekily extended a finger.
Fang Yu casually got up, walked over to the bed, took out his wallet, and said, "Considering your sincere attitude, I'll give you two hundred. That's my food money for a week."
Two bright red banknotes were placed in front of Jiang Xiaoxiao.
Yet, she stood there frozen.
Seeing her in a daze, Fang Yu cracked a smile and said, "Did you just discover another one of my good qualities? That's right, I'm a pretty generous guy."
"—"
Suddenly, Jiang Xiaoxiao stood up, grabbed the two banknotes, crumpled them into a ball, threw them on the ground, and said, "Are you kidding me?"
"What?" Fang Yu was full of confusion.
"Please. What can I do with two hundred? Do you take me for a beggar? Do you know that eating two burgers at KFC costs a fortune, the cheapest YSL Star costs hundreds, and even the most affordable branded dress costs thousands? And you're giving me just two hundred? Do you think I've never seen money?"
Fang Yu looked at the furious Jiang Xiaoxiao, completely bewildered.
"Not enough with two hundred? Then... three hundred?" Fang Yu tentatively said, three hundred was his absolute limit, he wouldn't lend more! No matter if you are the boss's sister or not.
"Pfft—"
Jiang Xiaoxiao felt the urge to vomit blood, all that talking was for nothing!
"I need one hundred thousand!"
"One hundred thousand?!" Fang Yu jumped, "That's my whole salary for a year without eating or drinking, are you sure you need one hundred thousand?"
"Are you going to lend it or not? I need the money to help someone! I'm not spending it recklessly!" Jiang Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes.
"Why don't you borrow it from your sister? She's so rich!" Fang Yu said.
"Damn it, if I could borrow it, would I even come beg you? Why don't you go take a leak and look in the... oh, actually, I think you're pretty decent. My sister is so fierce, she definitely wouldn't lend it to me."
Fang Yu glared, and said, "Spill it, what's the deal? I don't brag about anything else, but I do step in when I see injustice. If you really need it, I'll lend you one hundred thousand!"
Seeing his determination, Jiang Xiaoxiao sighed softly and said, "My best friend was harassed by some hooligans... I got impulsive and hit them with a bottle... Who knew that these thugs would threaten my friend over and over again, demanding one hundred thousand to back off!"
"You think you're so tough? Fight them!" Fang Yu joked.
"Well, they just want to settle things peacefully. Besides, it's not nice for a girl to be involved in fights and killings," Jiang Xiaoxiao murmured, finding a perfect excuse for herself.
"—"
Fang Yu laughed. Back in his youth, he too had sent people to the hospital, paying a hefty sum in compensation. This girl, although mischievous, possessed a rebellious spirit somewhat similar to his own.
"When do they want it?"
"The day after tomorrow."
"Alright, then get them to meet up the day after tomorrow!" Fang Yu said with a slight smile.
"Do you have the one hundred thousand for them?"
"No," Fang Yu said seriously.
"No way, Brother Yu, then why are you asking me to get them together?" Jiang Xiaoxiao asked, puzzled.
"Don't forget, Brother Yu might not have money, but I've got fists, a pair of them!" Fang Yu said with a deep implication.
"Please! They're not your average punks. I heard they've killed people."
Killed people?
Fang Yu licked his lips, back when I was killing people, you bunch of brats hadn't even grown hair yet!
