Chapter 41 Dong Bailian's Jealousy

Everyone present quickly expressed their understanding, saying that even if you have social anxiety or a bad temper, you're still a shrew in this situation. No one dares to offend Liu Tianxian; they're all shrewd people.

Liu Tianxian showed off the gift Shen Fang bought for her today to Shu Chang, who was sitting next to her.

"How is it? Isn't Xiao Shu pretty? Hehe, it was a gift from Brother Chen Fang."

Shu Chang looked at Liu Tianxian's cloud-black agate and exclaimed in admiration.

"(⊙o⊙) Wow, it's so beautiful, it's like a traditional Chinese ink painting."

"Hehe, right? I love it! By the way, we got scammed by a middle-aged man at the antique market today. He cheated me out of 100 yuan. I'm so angry."

Li Dawei's eyes lit up when he saw the agate bracelet in Liu Tianxian's hand.

"Heavenly Fairy, let me see your bracelet. Good heavens, it's a real treasure."

Upon hearing this, Liu Tianxian handed the bracelet to Li Dawei. Li Dawei took it and examined it carefully.

"Tsk tsk, good stuff. You definitely wouldn't be able to get this for less than 100,000 or 80,000. Junior brother, you really went all out."

Liu Xiaoli got a little angry when she heard that.

"Sisi, how can you accept such an expensive gift from Chen Fang?"

Shen Fang quickly interrupted.

"Aunt Liu, Qianqian is my sister. What's wrong with me giving her a gift? It's nothing, it's not expensive, she can just play with it."

Shen Lanlan chimed in, "It's just Aunt Liu. It's nothing. My uncle is rich. This little bit of money is nothing to him. He's just a sucker. He likes to throw money around all the time. He spent more than 25 million before we went to Beijing. He's not short of money."

Everyone present was shocked upon hearing this.

Li Dawei stared at Shen Fang in shock: "Holy crap. Junior brother, where have you been? Over 25 million? Good heavens."

Shen Fang rolled his eyes at Shen Lanlan: "It's nothing, just investing in some internet companies. They're all friends who need money and came to me. I'm a kind and generous person, known as 'Timely Rain,' and I'll help anyone who needs it."

Liu Xiaoli looked at Chen Fang in shock: "Xiao Fang, even if you have money, you shouldn't spend it like this."

Shen Lanlan waved her hand: "Don't worry, my uncle is notoriously shrewd and good at making money. The investment now will bring in a lot of returns in the future. Don't worry, my uncle will become richer and richer."

Shen Fang smiled and said, "Don't worry, Aunt Liu, everything is under control."

Everyone present kept offering toasts, exclaiming, "Wow, this is a god of wealth!"

Dong Bailian was so envious she was practically grinding her teeth. Liu Yifei gave away gifts worth over 100,000 yuan, while she only earned 1,500 yuan per episode. The money she made from a 40-episode drama wasn't even enough to buy Liu Yifei's bracelet! Why?! No way! I'll find a sugar daddy too!!!

After the meal, everyone dispersed, and Shen Lanlan winked at Shen Fang.

"So, Uncle, did I make you proud?"

Shen Fang rolled his eyes at Shen Lanlan: "What a load of crap! It's all unnecessary. The problem has already been solved. Why are you showing off like this? It makes me look like a rich fool."

Shen Lanlan grinned mischievously: "I did it on purpose. Which Dong Bailian doesn't bully Liu Tianxian? If we don't show our muscles, she won't know how strong your thigh is. Besides, I'm not bragging. I'm just telling the truth."

Liu Xiaoli looked at the two of them and said, "Xiao Fang, be careful with your investments. Don't be fooled."

Shen Lanlan smiled and said, "Aunt Liu, my uncle is a notorious conman. No one can fool him. Don't be fooled by his harmless appearance. When he was 15, he instigated our villagers to revolt and fight with the village across the street, just because he had his eye on the land of the village across the street. He's a wicked man."

Liu Tianxian looked at Shen Lanlan with curiosity.

"No way, Brother Shen Fang is really nice. He can be a little mischievous at times, though. He teased me when we first met, but it's okay. He's really good to me."

Shen Lanlan smiled and said, "That's because you're cute. Your uncle likes you. If anyone offends him, I guarantee they'll be in big trouble."

Shen Fang looked at Shen Lanlan with a dark expression: "Shut up, you're almost making me sound like a bully."

Shen Lanlan pouted: "You always were."

Shen Fang threatened, "Do you still want your allowance?"

Shen Lanlan quickly surrendered: "I was wrong."

Shen Fang looked at Liu Xiaoli.

"Aunt Liu, are you coming back to Beijing with us, or are you staying here?"

Liu Tianxian grabbed Liu Xiaoli.

"I want to stay with my mom."

Well, he's definitely living up to his reputation as a mama's boy.

Liu Xiaoli smiled.

"Okay, Mom will stay with you. It's getting late, Xiao Fangtian. You've all had some drinks. Go back tomorrow."

Shen Fang nodded.

"Let's stay here tonight."

Huang Bo nodded: "Sure, we're free tonight, let's play cards."

Liu Tianxian nodded in agreement: "Great, great! I didn't have much fun last time. I kept losing, but this time I'm going to win back my winnings."
