Chapter 500: Chapter 226: So I’m the Only Fool? (Part 2)

"As expected of a big boss, how about a hundred thousand? That’s just pocket change for you."

"Sure."

Li Yang took out his phone and transferred it to Yang Shanshan. He had her number before, and the Alipay verification matched.

The next second, Yang Shanshan’s phone received the notification. She smiled sweetly, picked up her bag, and left.

Before leaving, she turned around and said, "Remember to call me for such deals next time."

She looked very happy, and indeed, it was something to be happy about.

Just as Yang Shanshan left, Wu Tianqi came back, but he didn’t withdraw any money and directly handed the card to Li Yang.

He said calmly, "Fellow Daoist Li, why the need for this?"

Li Yang glanced at him, "Why did you change the address?"

Wu Tianqi sat down, "I know calling someone ’Fellow Daoist’ is a stupid thing, but you and Jiang Banxia treat me as a friend, so you tolerate me. In front of her, I want to be more formal."

"Why be formal? You pay for her companionship, no matter what you do, it’s your right. You don’t need to consider her thoughts."

Wu Tianqi countered, "It’s not me who seeks her out; it’s her who gives me the chance."

"You seriously can’t stop, can you? Being such a shameless simp, I’m embarrassed for you."

The words felt heavy, and Li Yang also felt it was inappropriate.

It’s just... there was indeed a slight crack today.

Yang Shanshan almost had ’I just want money’ written on her face; there’s no way Wu Tianqi couldn’t see it.

He thought Wu Tianqi would get angry, but instead, Wu Tianqi calmly said, "What choice do I have? Given my situation, no matter who I’m with, isn’t it always about being a simp? At least Yang Shanshan is prettier than anyone else I’d have the chance to simp for. I can even say that Yang Shanshan is the cleanest of them all, can other girls be clean? If I must be a simp, why not choose one I feel most comfortable about? Don’t tell me you think my next girlfriend would admire my looks and character?"

Li Yang: "..."

He didn’t dare think so; no way he’d dare.

Li Yang asked, "But you can’t even catch her. Other girls, even with different motives, at least they’re willing to be with you. Over time, feelings will develop."

"But I just like beautiful ones!"

Wu Tianqi’s reasoning was simple and straightforward.

Li Yang thought of his first wife. Logically, Wu Tianqi should have discovered her issues after being with her every day.

Lupus erythematosus, though symptom-free in appearance, is a big problem in reality.

Perhaps a little saltier food could cause body issues, or a small cold could require hospitalization.

Yet... it took three years to notice.

That woman was indeed very beautiful, not much less than Yang Shanshan.

Very likely, Wu Tianqi had hidden it.

Wu Tianqi continued, "Fellow Daoist Li, my desires match my current suffering, so you don’t need to pity me. If I go have dinner with her, I’ll make her return that hundred thousand to you! If she doesn’t return it, I’ll slowly repay you later."

With that said, he stood up and chased after Yang Shanshan’s direction.

Li Yang held the bank card, knowing Wu Tianqi hadn’t withdrawn money; otherwise, he wouldn’t know about the hundred thousand.

He was probably watching from nearby just now.

It’s just...

Damn! Am I having dinner alone? 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

"Boss, pack my portion!"

"Have you eaten yet? I packed a portion of crayfish, want to eat together at your place?"

...

Twenty minutes later, Li Yang, with the packed crayfish, arrived at Xiangnu’s place.

It wasn’t that he didn’t want to go home, but... what’s the point of bringing crayfish home?

His mom wouldn’t let him eat it, as she didn’t trust outside food, and Xue Ning would crave it.

He figured he’d settle it outside.

After some thought, only Xiangnu’s place seemed reasonable.

As he was approaching the door, he received a message.

Yang Shanshan transferred back the hundred thousand.

Li Yang knew, Yang Shanshan was fishing for Wu Tianqi, hook, line, and sinker.

This move, and Wu Tianqi can forget about getting off the hook!

Really impressive!

Pressing the doorbell, Xiangnu quickly came over and opened the door.

Li Yang’s eyes were immediately drawn to those long legs.

Compared to Yang Shanshan, Xiangnu’s legs were top-tier; she was nearly 1.8 meters tall.

With a height of 178 cm, if she wore high heels, she’d be a bit taller than Li Yang.

In the middle of summer, she was wearing ultra-short form-fitting workout shorts, with proportions that were incredibly striking.

Xiangnu asked, "What made you think of inviting me for a meal today? And even personally bringing it over."

Li Yang walked in and said, "If I didn’t come, how would I know you have such a great figure? I was really stunned, no idea what I’ve been missing."

"Stop it, don’t overpraise me. Compared to Jiang Banxia, I’m still lacking."

"No worries, no worries, even if she were here, I would dare to say..."

Li Yang walked to the dining table and, after putting down the crayfish, noticed there was a tablet beside it.

And the tablet was on a video call.

Unsurprisingly, Jiang Banxia was on the screen.

At the moment, Jiang Banxia tilted her head adorably like a panda, looking at Li Yang.

As for Xiangnu not far away, she crossed her arms, creating an exaggerated curve as she grinned at Li Yang.

"Master Li..."

"Hahaha, I’m here, my dear, I miss you so much, woo woo woo..."

In the video, Jiang Banxia lifted her leg and asked, "Master Li, do my legs not look good?"

Li Yang quickly and seriously said, "Who dares to say they don’t look good? These legs, could there be a second pair in the world? Pfft, a third pair, perhaps? These are simply the world’s most beautiful artwork. When God created these legs, He must have chosen the finest jade, hired the best sculptor, and after they were perfected, He got rid of the sculptor, so there’s only this one pair in the world without any flaws..."
