A Life of Financial Freedom

Ordinary people always fantasize about financial freedom, beautiful women, luxury cars, yachts... However, compared to all these material things, Chu Fang desires a sincere relationship even more, ...

Chapter 520 I knew you were extraordinary just by looking at you.

The town was bustling with activity.

Chu Yi linked arms with Zhong Tingyue, and the two walked side by side, like two blooming flowers, stunningly beautiful, attracting the attention of everyone around them.

"Eh? Yiyi?" Just then, a soft voice came from the front, and a fashionable woman in a wool coat and a skirt appeared.

"Sister Wang," Chu Yi greeted the fashionable woman warmly.

"Oh my, it really is Yi Yi." The fashionable woman covered her mouth in surprise, but quickly recovered and looked Chu Yi up and down. "You've changed, you've changed so much, I almost didn't recognize you."

"I heard you changed a lot after you went to Shanghai. I didn't expect it to be true. You've become a big kid. I'm sure Chu Fang will take good care of you."

The two held hands, overjoyed to see each other again.

The fashionable woman immediately turned her gaze to Zhong Tingyue. She had noticed her at first glance, but after exchanging a few pleasantries with Chu Yi, she looked at her instead. Chu Yi raised an eyebrow, a slight embarrassment appearing on his face, and turned back to Zhong Tingyue, saying, "Sister-in-law, let me introduce you. This is my brother's junior high and high school classmate, Sister Wang Fan."

He paused, then stammered to the fashionable woman, "Um... this is my brother's fiancée..."

Before he could finish speaking, Chu Yi felt the temperature around him drop a few degrees, and he looked up.

Zhong Tingyue and Wang Fan both had smiles on their faces as they looked at each other.

Zhong Tingyue extended her hand and said, "Hello."

Wang Fan shook hands with him, saying, "Hello, we have a class reunion tonight. Can Chu Fang come?"

"It's coming."

"Why don't you ask Chu Fang what he thinks? I remember he doesn't like attending those kinds of events."

Zhong Tingyue replied gracefully, "No need to ask, I can make the decision."

Wang Fan's handsome face twitched slightly. After exchanging a few pleasantries, the two parted ways.

"Phew..." After seeing Wang Fan leave, Chu Yi patted his chest and slowly exhaled. "I thought you two were going to fight."

"Because of Chu Fang? No need." Zhong Tingyue strolled along the vegetable market, squatted down, and asked the stall owner how much the mushrooms cost per pound.

Chu Fang likes to eat mushrooms, especially when stewed in soup, as they have a subtle umami flavor.

"Sister-in-law, do you know who Sister Wang Fan is?" Chu Yi asked, tilting her head.

"The emotional debts your brother incurred."

“Hehe… …” Upon hearing this, Chu Yi chuckled and said slowly, “Sister Wang Fan and Chu Lao Er were classmates in junior and senior high school. She really liked my brother and pursued him for many years, but my brother never had any feelings for her. We rarely saw each other after graduating from high school.”

"Actually, I quite like Sister Wang Fan. She used to buy me a lot of snacks and took good care of me. It's a pity, really."

In order to win over Chu Fang, Wang Fan did a lot of "love me, love my dog" by ingratiating herself with Chu Yi. Before long, the two became like sisters.

Zhong Tingyue said quietly, "What? Am I just supposed to leave?"

Just like your brother, a heartless bastard.

Haven't I bought you plenty of things?

Chu Yi: "Sister-in-law, that's not what I meant."

Zhong Tingyue scanned the code to pay, while Chu Yi smiled and carried the bag. The two walked along the market, buying vegetables and meat while chatting about Chu Fang's past.

... ...

At this moment, a number of neighbors had gathered in the Chu family courtyard, scrutinizing the car.

"This is a big Rolex? This is the first time I've seen him this close."

"Be careful, if you break it, you won't be able to afford to pay for it even if you sell it."

“... ..."

Chu Fang tossed the key to one of the uncles: "Want to try it?"

"Isn't that a bad idea?" The uncle hesitated for a moment, then immediately took the key. "Let me check if the engine is damaged."

Then the uncle got into the car, and several other uncles also got in to experience it. Soon the car left the yard and sped down the street.

“I knew you were something special the moment I saw you were born,” an uncle said, patting him on the shoulder.

Chu Fang looked up and saw the uncle's eye, which he had lost due to work. He tugged at the corner of his mouth.

Truly, at a glance!

"Xiao Fang, how much is your Rolex?"

Chu Fang honestly replied, "More than ten million."

A cacophony of hisses erupted around them.

Chu's father crossed his arms and said calmly, "He just loves to show off."

“I don’t agree with what Lao Chu said,” Chu’s father’s longtime friend retorted. “Xiao Fang is able to buy this car because of his own ability; it’s a symbol of his competence.”

"I don't even want to talk to you. When you were young, you bought a watch and checked it ten times a second. What did you think you were?"

"That's right!"

Chu Fang was happy to see his father's friends undermine his father; it was quite amusing.

The car returned shortly afterward, and the uncles and elders all got to experience what it was like to drive a Rolls-Royce.

As the sun rose high in the sky, the neighbors and elders dispersed, and Zhong Tingyue and Chu Yi were seen carrying vegetables home.

Zhong Tingyue seemed to get along exceptionally well here, greeting many neighbors and acquaintances.

Zhong Tingyue sat down to rest beside him and said softly, "He's awake."

"Do I have two holes?" Chu Fang pointed to his two eyes.

"Hey, when did you get titanium alloy dog ​​eyes?" Zhong Tingyue glanced at him and raised an eyebrow.

Chu Fang: "..."

"By the way, do you have a class reunion tonight?"

"Huh? How did you know?" Chu Fang asked in surprise. "But I don't plan to go."

"I've agreed on your behalf."

Chu Fang: "???"

Chu Yi then told him what had happened in the town, and that he had run into Wang Fan, and the two of them sparked a romance.

Upon hearing this, Chu Fang did not rush to explain as if his private affairs had been discovered by Zhong Tingyue. Instead, he leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Actually, I dated Wang Fan."

Zhong Tingyue glanced at him and gave a soft snort.

you?

Do you even believe what you're saying?

Seeing Zhong Tingyue slowly heading towards the kitchen, Chu Fang scratched his face and asked, "Do you think your sister-in-law believes me?"

"Dude, your jokes aren't funny at all."

Chu Fang: "..."

... ...

As night fell, the air temperature dropped a few degrees, but compared to the thick clothes worn during the day, Zhong Tingyue was dressed more lightly at night.

A light yellow knitted sweater, layered over a white undershirt, paired with a knee-length skirt, exudes youthful energy and a casual yet stylish vibe.

To this, Chu could only say: Competition among women is truly terrifying.

Do you think it looks good?

Chu Fang glanced at her and saw that Zhong Tingyue had pulled down one arm of her cardigan a little, revealing her fair and smooth shoulder. He quickly pulled the cardigan up and said, "My goodness, it's winter, you'll catch a cold."

This woman's competitive spirit is terrifying.

They were playing the Seven Injury Fist together.

I can catch a cold, but you must be terrified!

After getting dressed, the two headed to the so-called classmate reunion, which was scheduled to be held at a hotel in town.

Many students have already arrived. The male students are distinguished and are all social elites, while the female students are dressed exquisitely, adorned with gold and silver.

These days, class reunions are all about one thing: showing off!

Even if you only earn 3,000 a month, you still have to act like you have 30 million.

This is also why the Chu side was unwilling to come.

The arrival of Chu Fang and Zhong Tingyue instantly attracted the attention of the entire class. Chu Fang, needless to say, was a prominent figure in the school back then, while Zhong Tingyue was as beautiful as an angel, and her calm demeanor immediately overshadowed all the female students in the class.

Wang Fan twitched the corner of his mouth.

We should have made a rule prohibiting family members from participating.

Chu Fang and his companion sat down next to Wang Fa, who asked, "Don't you dislike participating in these kinds of activities?"

Chu Fang shrugged: "Sometimes it's quite interesting."

Wang Fa hesitated for a moment, then said, "You'd better not come here again."

Why?

"I paid for this class reunion, and your presence here is a waste of my time showing off."
