Chapter 170: Chapter 170: Rich Kids’ Game? I’m Not Playing Anymore (Part 8)

“I heard you’re pursuing Li Chen. Are you really interested in her?” Wei Hui asked, with a teasing smile on his face.

The previous video indeed made him a laughingstock, but he deleted his account, and those unhappy netizens had nowhere to vent their anger.

Later, Xiao Su stepped in and completely cooled down the situation.

There’s always something new online every day, and after a few days, netizens have stopped talking about that incident.

As for their circle, everyone cares about their reputation outside. Unless someone is really at odds, they rarely dare to mock face-to-face.

Xiao Su was indeed a bit displeased with him because of this incident.

But it definitely wasn’t because of Li Chen, just that his previous livestream had dragged the other party down.

He apologized for it, and that was it.

Now that Qin Zhiyao is back, Xiao Su is busy fawning over her and doesn’t have time to be angry with him.

As for Li Chen, he, like others, thought that her actions that day were to play hard to get, trying to make Xiao Su change his mind. But she’s got it wrong; Xiao Su only has Qin Zhiyao in his heart, there’s no way he has any lingering feelings for her.

She’s been by Xiao Su’s side for several years, and Xiao Su hasn’t had any thoughts. Now that the real one is back, is there any room for reconciliation?

Li Chen was really foolish that day. She might as well have taken her stuff and left. Being laughed at is better than having a tough time later.

I heard she’s currently working as a sales clerk at a low-end store. How much can she make in a month? A few thousand without commission, and even if the commission is good, at most one or two ten thousand, not even enough to buy a decent piece of jewelry.

Why bother?

Recently, Han Fangli has been running there every day and bought a lot of that low-end store’s perfume. He doesn’t even know what it’s for. It’s not even presentable to give as gifts, in his view, it’s all garbage, just taking up space.

Only now did he realize, Han Fangli seems quite interested in Li Chen.

They often sat together drinking when there was nothing else to do. After that day, this was their first gathering.

However, Xiao Su wasn’t here.

If Xiao Su were here and knew Han Fangli was actually pursuing Li Chen, what would his expression be like? He might even be pleased.

Thinking this, Wei Hui was a bit expectant. If Han Fangli really wins Li Chen over, it would definitely be a sight to see.

Han Fangli glanced at him and said, “She’s pretty, has personality, and is single, why not pursue her?”

“Well, good luck then.” Wei Hui jokingly said, “By the way, how’s the progress so far?”

At this, Han Fangli frowned: “No progress at all.”

Wei Hui was momentarily shocked, then chuckled: “She’s learned a lesson and has become much more reserved. It’s only been a few days, but over time, she definitely won’t hold out. I think she still has Xiao Su on her mind.”

Hoping for Xiao Su to change his mind.

Unfortunately, it’s impossible.

Han Fangli, however, was taken aback, thinking of her recent behavior, and suddenly lowered his head, chuckling.

Still thinking about Xiao Su?

Not likely.

Her behavior doesn’t seem like she’s still thinking about Xiao Su; she’s clearly decided to let go completely and live her life properly.

Initially, his thoughts were similar to others, but after a few days of interaction, in front of her, he felt he was too despicable.

Maybe, he really does like her a bit, somewhat moved.

Wei Hui and the others exchanged glances, feeling Han Fangli was somewhat not quite right.

Cheng Yuqing suddenly said, “You haven’t fallen for her, have you?”

Cheng Yuqing usually spoke little, rarely participating in their conversations. But when asked out for drinks, she would agree. Often, she was more like an observer.

Her sudden remark startled the others present.

No way, right?

Han Fangli had always been a playboy, flirting in the fields, never staying for just one flower.

Han Fangli raised his gaze with a smile, “What if I do like her a bit?”

“Well, it doesn’t matter, as long as you’re not serious about marriage. If you are, your family wouldn’t agree,” Meng Sheng casually said, “She seems to have gotten tougher, don’t fall for it because of this.”

Han Fangli laughed, “No way.”

“How about this, I’ll help you out.” Meng Sheng suggested with a playful smile, “Go and see if she’s waiting for Xiao Su, or stringing you along.”

Han Fangli frowned, “What do you plan to do?”

“Look at you, getting serious,” Meng Sheng teased, “You really are attentive to her. Actually, I’m a bit interested in her too, just want to see what game she’s playing. She’s single now, and you two haven’t established a relationship, I have some thoughts, it shouldn’t be a problem to take some action, right?”

“Mr. Han, you’re acting a bit strange now.” He continued to tease, “Especially like you’ve fallen in, you wouldn’t really fall for her, would you?”

If that really happens, now that would be funny.

Han Fangli chuckled casually, “How could it be?”

He does like Li Chen a bit, but not to the extent of being caught.

“Oh, I see, then I have an interest in her, and want to compete with you, is that alright?” Meng Sheng smirked, he was just curious, wanted to see if the typically greedy and mundane Li Chen truly returned to an ordinary life or was faking it, wanting Xiao Su back, or trying to catch another rich fool.

He doesn’t believe anyone can easily walk away from this circle and willingly live an ordinary life.

No one could be that carefree.

And it’s Li Chen, of all people, whom he’s watched transform from innocent and simple to greedy and vain.

He’s seen too many of her vulgar and ugly sides, doesn’t believe she’ll revert.

Yes, Xiao Su led her into this world.

But if she had strong conviction, what could Xiao Su even do to her?

She’d never know, if she had resisted Xiao Su’s pursuit back then, someone else would treat her well, sincerely holding her up, ensuring she remained pure and clean.

Meng Sheng and Han Fangli exchanged glances, the atmosphere a bit tense.

Wei Hui, Cheng Yuqing, and Lin Jiajia looked slightly startled, apparently not expecting the current situation.

With Xiao Su gone, these two were vying for Li Chen, is she really that attractive?

Soon, the three snapped back to reality; it might not necessarily be her allure, but her recent behavior indeed piqued curiosity, prompting one to peel back the layers and see what’s inside.

Understanding this point, the three of them relaxed immediately.

Let’s just watch and see how Li Chen chooses under the pursuit of these two.

In the perfume shop, Ah Chen has become familiar with the other clerks.

But she gets along best with Lang Liqing, while other clerks envy and even sneer at having a wealthy and handsome man pursue her, wondering why she doesn’t agree, wishing it were them instead.

Ah Chen never says much about this.

In this world, people pursue all sorts of things, which is normal.

“I’m here to buy perfume from Miss Li.” A sudden voice came, and both Ah Chen and Lang Liqing looked over.

Lang Liqing’s expression was odd when she saw the person.

Another one?

These rich people really are strange, dismissing people before, now all showing up one by one? Do they think it’s fun? True intentions? That’s a joke, she doesn’t believe it.

Indeed, she can’t get along with these people; grateful in her early twenties, she didn’t hastily agree to some bosses’ pursuits.

It’s great now, this life suits her just fine.

“Miss Li, can you recommend some perfume?” Meng Sheng stood there with his handsome looks and unique aura, drawing the attention of other clerks in the shop, wishing he had come for them.

Ah Chen walked over, wearing a slight smile, “Of course.”

Another one.

Guests are guests, and she will treat them well.

Listening to her introduction, Meng Sheng was slightly surprised.

So professional?

She seemed different today.

Watching her retrieve the perfume, he was momentarily dazed.

Ah Chen turned around with the perfume, noticing Meng Sheng snapping back to reality, finding it amusing.

The people Commissioner knows are laughable one after another.

“One bottle of each scent.” Meng Sheng said, his gaze falling on her face, “Dinner after work?”

Ah Chen smiled, “Mr. Meng, our store staff only sell perfume, not accompany customers for meals. Perhaps you might consider canceling your order?”
