Chapter 499: Chapter 226: So I’m the Only Clown Here?

Li Yang drove himself to the commercial city.

After seven o’clock, it was the busiest time for the commercial city.

After parking his car in the garage, he didn’t get out for a long time.

The reason is, he really didn’t know what to do.

He could only apologize for dragging Wu Tianqi into this mess.

Just like in the past life when Wu Tianqi felt guilty for introducing Li Yang to Wang Manqi.

He decided to call Bai Qing first.

"Honey, do you have Yang Shanshan’s contact information? Give it to me."

Bai Qing asked, "What’s up?"

"I need to talk to her, she’s reeled my buddy in like a fish."

"Huh? What’s going on? I know Shanshan’s been in a bad mood lately, so I gave him her contact, just wanted him to try..."

"..."

Li Yang couldn’t blame Yang Shanshan because after she left, she didn’t give Wu Tianqi a chance, now it’s Wu Tianqi who took the initiative to approach.

At this moment, Wu Tianqi probably just felt he didn’t have enough money.

If he had money, he could have Yang Shanshan accompany him every day.

He called Wu Tianqi, asking him to meet him at the parking garage.

He hadn’t figured out how to talk to Yang Shanshan, so he decided to wait.

As it turned out, when Wu Tianqi arrived, Yang Shanshan was with him.

Those long legs were indeed eye-catching, her looks were online, and her outfit was great.

Coupled with her mature aura, it was understandable why Wu Tianqi was smitten.

He turned on the hazard lights, and Wu Tianqi quickly came over.

"You two sit in the back!"

Wu Tianqi silently complied, opening the car door for Yang Shanshan and shielding her head with his hand to prevent her from hitting it.

After Yang Shanshan was seated, he got in and closed the door.

Li Yang hit the gas and drove off.

In the back seat, Wu Tianqi asked, "Li Yang, where are we going?"

Li Yang frowned, the address was wrong.

This guy was a cultivation fanatic; even Jiang Banxia was used to calling him Fellow Daoist.

"Still hoping for a big feast on me? Just find some roadside stall and make do."

Li Yang was expressing his dissatisfaction, also intended for Yang Shanshan to hear.

Know when to stop.

Bai Qing had already given her seven million, so why keep stringing along Wu Tianqi for some pocket change?

Yang Shanshan spoke up, "I know a good BBQ place, how about I take you there?"

"No BBQ!" Li Yang immediately refused.

"Then how about a crayfish place I know?"

"No crayfish!"

"How about stir-fried dishes?"

"No!"

"Western food?"

"Dream on!"

...

...

Until Wu Tianqi said, "Let’s have crayfish, it’s on me!"

Li Yang said, "Fine, if you run out of money later, I’ll pawn you there!"

"Alright!"

A dozen minutes later, Li Yang seized an opportunity and parked the car by the roadside.

A restaurant with a crayfish sign, bustling with people, had no private rooms available, and even the outdoor seating was full.

Jiangbei could be called a foodie city, so they had to choose a spot in the far corner, right against the wall.

After seating and ordering, Li Yang turned to Yang Shanshan and asked, "Miss Yang, you’re the wealthy one now, why not treat us this time?"

Yang Shanshan replied, "No matter how rich I am, I’m not as wealthy as you, President Li. Eating with you and making me pay seems to look down on you, doesn’t it?"

"Ha ha, I heard Miss Yang still works at a counter in the commercial city? So thrifty, no wonder my buddy likes you so much."

Yang Shanshan laughed, "Likewise, President Li, don’t you drive taxis after hours?"

"..."

You gotta be kidding me!

Yang Shanshan was as sharp as ever.

Wu Tianqi quickly interjected, "Li Yang, Shanshan is broke now. She partnered with a friend to open a café and got cheated. I’ll pay for this meal."

"Where did you get the money?"

Wu Tianqi took out his phone, brought up a Huipu Financial page, and said, "I can borrow it."

"Damn!"

This was the prime time for P2P loans, with all sorts of campus loans emerging like mushrooms overnight, even some nude loans.

He patted Wu Tianqi’s shoulder, sighed, and said, "Fellow Daoist Wu, you are unbeatable!" 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

At this point, Li Yang had no choice.

He never cared about that little bit of money, not even in his past life, he didn’t mind treating Wu Tianqi to a few meals.

He took out a bank card, handed it to Wu Tianqi, and said, "Go find an ATM, withdraw twenty thousand and spend it yourself, the password is my birthday."

"Forget it, just lend me a few hundred tomorrow, I’ll buy a ticket back home."

Wu Tianqi was embarrassed to take more money from Li Yang.

But Li Yang directly stuffed the card into his hand, "Just go! If you want to stay a few more days, fine, consider it from Jiang Banxia, you’d feel bad if you didn’t accept it."

Hearing this, Wu Tianqi smiled, "I’ll thank her properly soon!"

With that, he took the bank card and went to find an ATM.

Li Yang didn’t intend to transfer money, how would that make Wu Tianqi leave?

Now that Wu Tianqi was gone, he turned again to Yang Shanshan, "Miss Yang, a bit forward, but I actually like you. Look at Wu Tianqi, he’s got nothing, maybe we could date?"

Yang Shanshan laughed, "What? Now that Qingqing is pregnant, you’re desperate?"

Li Yang: "..."

He couldn’t help but say, "What the hell are you after?"

"After nothing, he came to me, what does it have to do with me? To keep him company, I specifically took time off work, shouldn’t I recoup the lost wages?"

Li Yang: "You’re making ten thousand a day?"

"Can’t some of it be emotional distress compensation?"

Li Yang gave her a thumbs up, "You’re something else! It’s been a while since I’ve been flustered. Just say it, what do you want, I’ll give it to you now. If it’s money you want, name a figure, just don’t give him any more opportunities."
