Chapter 2019: Sisters at odds

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Hearing Chen Ya’s words, everyone’s eyes fell on Lin Yi.

They had long known that Lin Yi was a pretty boy, but hadn’t thought much about it. After all, everyone had their own aspirations.

But now, hearing it blatantly from this woman was a bit too much.

However, it was true. He was just a gigolo.

“I’m really impressed with you people. Every day you have a lot of trivial matters,” Lin Yi said.

“We just here to buy some clothes. Who cares who pays?”

With that, Lin Yi pulled out his bank card and handed it to the cashier.

“Swipe the card, the pa.s.sword is 00000.”

They saw Lin Yi pull out a bank card.

Chen Ya was stunned

The cashier was also stunned.

Wasn’t he supposed to be living off a rich woman?

Where did he get the money to pay?

If he was so rich, why would he need to rely on a sugar mommy?

“What are you waiting for? Swipe the card.”

“Oh, sir, please wait a moment.”

The cashier quickly processed the payment.

After entering the pa.s.sword, a beep was heard.

Transaction completed!

Lin Yi had just spent nearly a million without a blink!

Chen Ya’s face turned red and white, feeling utterly humiliated.

She couldn’t understand where this pretty boy got so much money.

Maybe Yan Ci gave it to him?

That seemed the only possibility.

“I admire you too, having a three-second weakling as a boyfriend and still mocking others,” Lin Yi said.

“Your tactics are shameless enough to be in textbooks.”

Lin Yi then wrapped his arm around Yan Ci’s waist and walked out of the store under everyone’s gaze.

“I have to say, the flesh around your waist is just right. It’s getting more comfortable to touch.”

“Stop it for now, it’s making me all sweaty. Save it for when we’re alone tonight,” Yan Ci said, looking at her watch. “Let’s go pick up the others. Don’t be late.”

“Don’t worry, with me around, we won’t be late.”

Lin Yi stepped on the gas and drove towards the high-speed rail station.

The station was bustling with people.

Yan Ci, holding Lin Yi’s arm, stood at the exit, creating a striking scene.

Yan Ci’s curvy figure and impressive dimensions drew more than a few glances.

After about ten minutes, the station’s loudspeaker announced the arrival of a train, and soon people started to come out one after another.

At the same time, a middle-aged woman and a young woman in her late twenties came out, pulling a large suitcase.

“Mom, it’s just a medical check-up. Why did you call Yan Ci? Your future son-in-law is a government officer with broad connections in Zhonghai. He can get you the best medical care in no time.”

The middle-aged woman, Tang Li, was Yan Ci’s aunt.

The young woman, Zhou Xinyu, was Yan Ci’s cousin, but they weren’t very close.

Yan Ci’s parents were busy with work, so she often stayed at her aunt’s house when she was young.

Yan Ci was excellent in her studies and beautiful, liked by both cla.s.smates and teachers.

On the other hand, Zhou Xinyu couldn’t compare to Yan Ci in any way.

Her father, with a bad temper, always compared the two, creating a deep resentment in Zhou Xinyu towards Yan Ci.

Hence, Zhou Xinyu directly called Yan Ci by her name instead of acknowledging her as a cousin.

Yan Ci, aware of this, rarely contacted Zhou Xinyu very much.

She was only doing this as a favor to her aunt, otherwise she wouldn’t have meddled in their business.

“You’re not married yet. It’s not good to trouble others,” Tang Li said.

“Yan Ci is family. It’s better to ask for help from family than outsiders. How can you not understand such simple courtesy?”

Tang Li felt a bit frustrated.

Her daughter compared to her niece was lacking in many ways.

“We’re nearly ready to meet the parents. Their marriage is all but certain. How can you call them outsiders?”

“What do you mean by a done deal?” Tang Li said.

“Nothing is certain until the marriage is settled. It’s a big deal. We have to see what kind of family they are. If they’re unreasonable, I won’t agree to the marriage.”

“No need to worry. I know them well. His parents and sister are very nice,” Zhou Xinyu said.

“I can’t take your word for it. I need to discuss it with your cousin. This isn’t a small matter.”

“Why do you have to discuss everything with my cousin?” Zhou Xinyu said impatiently.

“This is our family matter. What does it have to do with her?”

“Family matter? Yanyan is your cousin; you’re family!” Tang Li said sternly.

“No matter what, you’ll live in Zhonghai in the future. With your cousin doing well here, she can look out for you. In this society, who would help you if not family?”

“Alright, alright, enough. Let’s not talk about this,” Zhou Xinyu said impatiently, dragging the suitcase towards the exit.

“Don’t be impatient.” Tang Li said.

“Your cousin’s boyfriend is also coming. Don’t put on a long face when you meet him. Your cousin owes you nothing.”

“It’s not a big deal. I’ve met her boyfriend before. He’s not as good as mine.”

Zhou Xinyu was referring to Yan Ci’s ex-boyfriend.

She wasn’t aware they had broken up.

“That was her ex. I heard they broke up.”

“Broke up?” Zhou Xinyu was surprised. “Her ex wasn’t as good as my boyfriend, but he was decent. Why did they break up?”

“I don’t know. Your aunt said she has a new boyfriend. She wants me to check him out.”

“She’s too ambitious and never satisfied,” Zhou Xinyu said.

“I’ve seen it often—thinking she’s capable and constantly changing boyfriends, each one worse than the last.”

“We can’t say what kind of person he is.” Tang Li said.

“But your cousin has been in Zhonghai for years. I trust her judgment.”

“You’re blindly confident,” Zhou Xinyu said dismissively. “He might be worse than the last one.”

“Stop worrying about her and focus on yourself.”

Zhou Xinyu pouted, instinctively believing that Yan Ci’s new boyfriend couldn’t be better than hers.
