I don't know what I was thinking at the time, but as if possessed, Lu You walked out and carefully took that hand.
Before long, Lian Zhan pulled Xu Ning to a distance of one meter behind him.
He let go of his hand and whispered to him, "Watch out, stand there for a while and don't leave."
After saying that, he walked over to Xu Ning's table.
He ignored Xu Ning first, then smiled and met the gaze of the woman opposite him, a sarcastic smirk playing on his lips: "After breaking up with me, you found this kind of trash? What? Can he give you a five million card anytime?"
The woman was taken aback, clearly not knowing what Lian Zhan was talking about, but a moment later, she saw that he had a black card in his hand.
"Let me tell you, I'm rich now, and I'll make you regret abandoning me back then..."
As he spoke, he let out a burp, and his face flushed red, as if he were drunk and had mistaken someone for someone else—seven parts genuine and three parts fake.
Clearly, he harbored a malicious intent to cause trouble: "Fine, since you like hanging out with poor guys, then..."
"Hey, don't do that." Who cares if it's true or not? Who wouldn't fawn over a rich person when they're right in front of them?
The woman stood up excitedly: "Darling, I didn't. He's just a poor distant relative of mine who came to ask me for money, but I didn't give him any."
"I feel disgusted just looking at him. He's nowhere near as good-looking as you."
What future does Xu Ning have? At most, he'll have a few fancy meals with him. This guy, on the other hand, seems to be the real rich guy.
Xu Ning was unconvinced and tried to stand up and take the woman back, but as soon as he opened his mouth, the woman slapped him twice.
The force was so strong that you could almost hear the echo: "I'm telling you, even if I had money, I wouldn't give it to you. Stop bothering me, ptooey!"
After saying that, he followed Lian Zhan out, not giving Xu Ning a single glance.
Xu Ning, like a clown who overestimated his abilities, stood there dumbfounded, enduring the strange looks from all around him, and all he heard were laughs and sarcasm.
No, this shouldn't be!
He went to great lengths to swindle money from Lu You, and the goddess he finally won over... how could she...?
"Damn it!" He was unwilling to accept it!
He cursed angrily and quickly followed them out.
Lu You stood not far away, his brows furrowed slightly, and for some reason felt... kind of satisfying about this scene.
It turns out that Xu Ning, whom he considered sacred and inviolable, could also be so disheveled. Or perhaps, Xu Ning wasn't as perfect as he imagined...
In short, Lu You was still worried about Lian Zhan, so he quickly followed him out.
The moment he stepped outside, he saw Lian Zhan trick the woman away, then beat Xu Ning up and take all the money from him.
Xu Ning cowered in the corner, tears welling in his eyes, choking back sobs as he stubbornly protested, "Robbery! This is robbery! I'm going to sue you!"
"Really?" Lian Zhan seemed completely unconcerned, calmly counting the money in his wallet. After confirming the amount, he handed the wallet to Lu You behind him: "Go check if there's enough money."
Lu You was shocked. His hands trembled as he took the wallet. He never thought he could get the money back.
Something inside him seemed to have been overturned, leaving him with mixed feelings. Heeding Lian Zhan's words, he quickly went to the store to check the amount of money.
In fact, Xu Ning had spent a lot of his money in the past six months, but there was also Xu Ning's savings here. In total, it was actually 10,000 more than his original amount.
But... Lu You didn't say.
He secretly kept this secret and even asked the store manager for leave.
Then he went outside and said, "Enough...enough..."
"Okay." Lian Zhan nodded in satisfaction, then raised an eyebrow at Xu Ning: "Then you can get lost."
Xu Ning didn't want to leave. Not only did Lu You's money go there, but it also contained half of his life savings. He just wanted to give it away like that.
My girlfriend's gone, and my money's gone too. What the hell is this?!
He stood up, brandishing his claws, about to curse, but was so frightened by Lian Zhan's fist that he shrank back two steps.
In the end, all he could manage to say through his tears was, "You...you just wait!"
After saying that, he ran away as if his life depended on it.
I stumbled and fell several times along the way, even knocking out two front teeth, which made my mouth full of blood and caused me to cry even more.
Seeing his pathetic state, Lian Zhan couldn't help but laugh out loud. It was his first time in the human world, and he never expected to encounter such a coward.
However, it's good that the poor thing was saved.
"Oh, by the way, this is my business card." Lian Zhan turned around and handed the prepared business card to Lu You: "My number is on it. If he causes you any more trouble, give me a call."
To be honest, he really couldn't stand seeing such a clean person being bullied.
Perhaps... angels all have a bit of a saintly heart.
Thinking this, Lian Zhan prepared to leave, but as soon as he took a step, he found that the corner of his clothes was being tugged.
He turned around and met the boy's clean and clear eyes.
He seemed embarrassed, as if it were his first time inviting someone, but still managed to blush and ask, "Could...could I treat you to a meal?"
Lu You lowered his head, looking as obedient as a little white rabbit, and told the truth: "I...I took leave. Actually, I have too much money...I don't...I don't want to give it back to him. I want to...spend it on you."
