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 594 Unreasonable Behavior

This trip is all about being spontaneous and carefree.

Chu Fang and Zhong Tingyue made no plans and just went wherever they felt like, simply for the purpose of self-cultivation.

They walked along the coastline and in the blink of an eye, three days passed, and they arrived in Guangzhou, Guangdong Province, a city full of slippers and delicious soups.

They visited once two years ago for an art exhibition and were deeply impressed.

I can't experience the slipper culture, but I can never forget 'Liang Tang'.

Upon arriving in Guangzhou, the two of them quickly went to the restaurant with the highest rating. The menu was simply dazzling, with bird's nest soup, American ginseng stewed pigeon soup, snow fungus and red date soup... ... and even scorpion soup and pig brain soup.

To this, Chu Fang could only say: The world is vast and full of wonders.

He immediately ordered a scorpion soup, which was labeled: "Rich and flavorful, nourishing yin and yang, tonifying the kidneys and strengthening yang, a complete tonic..."

After ordering the soup, Chu Fang noticed a disdainful look coming from the person in front of him and retorted, "Why are you looking at me like that? I'm working hard for your happy life!"

Zhong Tingyue scoffed softly.

The Cantonese cuisine is known for its rich soup-drinking atmosphere, and the restaurant was filled with customers of all ages, young and old...

"Are you dating Liu Yuting?!"

Suddenly, a loud sound filled the restaurant.

Chu Fang looked in the direction of the sound and saw a young couple sitting at the next table.

The man was dressed simply, with short hair, bathed in sunlight; while the woman wore a well-tailored dress, exuding confidence and occasionally revealing a touch of arrogance.

"I didn't." The simple-minded man's tone was full of helplessness.

"I don't believe it!" The haughty girl crossed her arms. "Then why didn't you reply to my messages?"

"I've explained it countless times, he just forgot while playing ball."

"That's no excuse!" The haughty girl raised her voice several octaves. "As your girlfriend, why don't you reply to my messages? Don't you care about me?!"

"Hmph! It was that wicked woman Liu Yuting who seduced you."

"Ranran, Liu Yuting is our classmate. You shouldn't use that kind of address."

The simple-minded man frowned: "Besides, I have absolutely no relationship with her, so don't overthink it."

Upon hearing this, the proud girl Ranran flew into a rage: "You're making excuses for her, saying it's nothing."

"I know you like Liu Yuting. She's prettier than me and has a better figure."

The simple-minded man said, "You're no worse than her, and in my eyes you're even better."

"Ahhh..." The haughty girl covered her ears, "I don't want to hear it, I don't want to hear it, what you're saying is all lies."

The girl's voice was shrill and piercing, like the sound of fingernails scratching a blackboard, which was chilling.

Seeing the annoyed expressions on the faces of everyone in the restaurant, the simple man clasped his hands in apology and then prepared to leave with his girlfriend.

But the proud girl, Ranran, refused to leave, and the simple man sighed helplessly and left alone.

Ranran said indignantly, "Fine, I'll leave then. We're breaking up now, and never seeing each other again."

"Hao Jing, don't think you're so great. In my eyes, you're nothing. I'm rich, and I can find many boyfriends like you anytime."

After saying that, Ranran picked up her bag and left.

The atmosphere in the restaurant immediately became much more relaxed.

Chu Fang and Zhong Tingyue exchanged glances and both smiled.

It's obvious that the two are a couple. The girl loves the boy to the point of being "obsessive," even to the point of not wanting any other girl to get close to her boyfriend. This leads to her being unreasonable and the two arguing.

This kind of situation often happens between young couples.

"Huh?" Chu Fang thought for a moment, "Why do you never seem to care about my female friends?"

Zhong Tingyue tilted her head: "You? Female friends? How many female friends can you count on your fingers?"

Chu Fang: "..."

After careful consideration, he realized that he didn't seem to have any female friends, and the women he interacted with most were Jiang Wenzhen, Yang Meina, and He Yi, all of whom were Zhong Tingyue's interpersonal relationships.

fail... ...

Zhong Tingyue pursed her lips and smiled faintly.

After finishing their delicious soup, it was already night, and the two of them still walked slowly back to the hotel.

Guangzhou's nighttime vibrancy rivals that of Shanghai, and it even has a more lively, down-to-earth feel.

"Five hundred per cup, drink until you die."

Quite by chance, on their way back, the two saw the haughty girl, Ranran, again, drunk and holding a wad of banknotes, directing a few handsome boys in front of her.

The handsome boys looked at each other in bewilderment.

They were male models hired by Ranran at high prices, not suicide bombers; they came to make money, not to risk their lives.

"One cup costs a thousand!" Ranran continued.

Upon hearing this, the male models began vying to drink.

A glass of wine costs a thousand yuan; I'll drink it even if it kills me!

Ranran snorted coldly, disdainfully saying, "Hao Jing, did you see that? I'm rich, I can find any kind of guy, and you're just my backup plan."

As she spoke, Ranran picked up her wine glass and drank it in large gulps.

While Ranran was vomiting from being drunk, a male model took out a few pills from his pocket and put them into Ranran's glass.

Just as the male model saw Ranran raise her wine glass and was about to put it in her mouth, and the plan was about to be completed, Chu Fang approached and snatched the wine glass from Ranran.

"Who are you? What are you doing?" Ranran said angrily. "Don't think you're something just because you have a bit of poise. You're just a male model I picked up."

Chu Fang: "..."

Well, he's become a hostess.

Don't I look like a wealthy person?

Chu Fang didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

He took out his phone and played the video of the male model putting the pills in his hand; the male model's face was deathly pale.

After Ranran finished reading, she walked over to the male model and slapped him loudly: "Get lost!"

The male models disappeared immediately.

Ranran looked up at Chu Fang: "You want to seduce me?"

Chu Fang shook her head and pointed to her phone: "Your boyfriend should be looking for you nearby."

"I don't believe it. He ran off with that woman," Ranran replied.

“Give him the address, and I guarantee he’ll be here in three minutes.”

Ranran sent the address to her boyfriend, and less than three minutes later, the simple-minded man named Hao Jing rushed over: "I've been looking for you for a long time."

Upon seeing her boyfriend, Ranran pouted and threw herself into his arms, whimpering, "Waaah... You finally came to find me! I was almost insulted by someone else."

Ranran recounted what had just happened in fits and starts, while Hao Jing gently comforted his girlfriend.

Hao Jing looked up at Chu Fang and Zhong Tingyue: "Thank you."

He doesn't even want to think about what would have happened to his girlfriend if it weren't for the two of them; he would regret it for the rest of his life.

You're too kind.

It was just a small favor, no need to thank me.

As Chu Fang and Zhong Tingyue were about to leave, Ranran called them back and handed them the stack of banknotes on the table.

"No need, helping others is the source of happiness," Chu Fang refused.

"My dad said that helping others should be rewarded."

"There's really no need."

Chu refused again.

He really didn't want the money; it was only a few thousand yuan at most. He usually used mobile payments, so holding cash was useless to him; he would deposit it in the bank.

Too lazy to fix it.

Ranran seemed oblivious to Chu Fang's thoughts. Feeling the money was too little, she pulled out a wad of cash from her bag, amounting to at least 30,000 to 50,000 yuan.

Chu Fang smiled and said, "Really, there's no need. I'm quite wealthy."

"How rich?"

"It's still worth several hundred million."

Ranran looked him up and down, then thanked him, "Thank you for your help."

Watching the two figures leave, Ranran pursed her lips and said, "Hao Jing, look how well they match."

“Yes,” her boyfriend Hao Jing replied.

From an outsider's perspective, Chu Fang and Zhong Tingyue are like one.

"You really have no relationship with Liu Yuting?" Ranran tilted her head.

“We are related.” Hao Jing stroked his chin and continued, “We are classmates.”

"Oh, you're so naughty."

Ranran gently punched her boyfriend with both fists. He caught her hands and said softly, "Don't be unreasonable in the future. You'll regret it if something happens."

Am I being unreasonable?

“Yes,” Hao Jing said, “but I promise you, I will try to minimize my interactions with Liu Yuting.”

"Waaaah... Hao Jing, I love you so much." Ranran hugged her boyfriend tightly.
