Chapter 44: A Bystander

After thoroughly killing Lin Ming, Wang Haoran enjoyed a very leisurely period.

He occasionally visited the Wang Group but found that Uncle Fu and others had managed the company perfectly.

Uncle Fu, strangely, didn’t urge him to focus on business but rather looked contentedly at him and the girls playing around.

Now, Ning Xueluo, Yun Ling’er, and Wang Yuxiao were living in his house, while Xia Xinyan and Liu Yunshuang had returned to their homes.

One day, Xia Xinyan happily announced that she had received an acceptance letter from S University and wanted Wang Haoran to accompany her on a tour of the university.

Wang Haoran agreed, and when the others found out, they all wanted to go too.

Wang Haoran had no choice but to switch to a larger G-wagon, taking the girls to S University. (tln : Benz G-Wagon, try googling it)

Upon arriving at the S University campus.

Everyone tactfully pushed Wang Haoran towards Xia Xinyan, while the other four walked beside them.

The group of high-looking men and women attracted the attention of many passersby.

After more than an hour of wandering.

The group rested in a pavilion.

Xia Xinyan, who had been high-spirited from the start, adopted the demeanor of a girlfriend, asking Wang Haoran to buy milk tea for her and her “girlfriends.”

Wang Haoran agreed.

Last night they treated me to milk tea, today I’ll treat them! (tln : :yum:)

At the school gate.

As Wang Haoran was leaving the milk tea shop with a bag, his attention was caught by a man and a woman by the roadside.

“Yanzi, Yanzi don’t go!”

“Yanzi don’t leave me!”

“How can I live without you!”

A pleading boy grabbed the hand of a heavily made-up girl.

The girl’s face was full of disgust.

“Zhao Dong, I told you to stop pestering me! We’ve broken up!”

“No, don’t! Yanzi, we haven’t broken up! Tell me what you’re unhappy about! Tell me, and I’ll change immediately!”

Seeing the boy persist, the girl got even angrier.

“You’ll change? How? Beibei’s boyfriend buys her jewelry and bags, and you? Just a few lousy flowers!”

“Yanzi, you want a bag, right? I’ll buy it right away, just don’t break up with me!”

“Hmph, you’ll buy it? Planning to eat plain buns and pickles for a year again? Forget it, this breakup is final!”

Seeing the boy still trying to pester her, the girl quickly added.

“At this point, I won’t hide it anymore—I already have a new boyfriend! This is what we used last night!”

“Yanzi, I know you’re lying to me, right…”

Zhao Dong was about to speak but saw the girl pull out a small, torn square plastic bag from her handbag. (tln : condom plastic)

Seeing this, Zhao Dong was thunderstruck.

He trembled and asked, “Why… Xu Yan… why… we’ve dated for three years, I haven’t even held your hand… but you…”

“I’d give anything for you… Xu Yan… why…”

“Why? Because he’s handsomer than you! Richer than you! He made me very happy last night! Satisfied?”

Xu Yan shouted, thinking Zhao Dong would let go, but Zhao Dong only gripped her hand tighter.

“Who… who is it…”

Zhao Dong’s eyes were red, his voice low and hoarse.

Seeing him like this, Xu Yan felt a sudden panic. She looked around, seeking help from passersby.

She saw Wang Haoran passing by and her eyes lit up.

She pried Zhao Dong’s hand off and ran to Wang Haoran’s side.

“Handsome guy, help me out, and I’ll have dinner with you!”

Without waiting for Wang Haoran’s response, Xu Yan turned to Zhao Dong and sneered.

“Hmph, Zhao Dong, my boyfriend is right here! He’s rich and strong, you better leave now!”

Following Xu Yan’s gaze, Zhao Dong saw Wang Haoran and immediately looked as if he’d seen his father’s killer.

“You, you’re the scoundrel?”

Wang Haoran frowned, sensing something was off.

He wasn’t afraid of trouble, but he didn’t want to be dragged into this mess.

Thinking this, Wang Haoran distanced himself from the two and pointed to his watch and clothes.

“You two can argue all you want, just don’t involve me.”

“Look at my attire, do you think I’d be interested in her?”

Xu Yan was pretty by normal standards, but to Wang Haoran, used to seeing the stunning looks of Luoluo and the others, she was plain.

However, hearing Wang Haoran’s explanation, Zhao Dong sneered.

“Xu Yan, is this your rich and strong new boyfriend? He doesn’t even dare to admit it!”

Xu Yan, confident Wang Haoran would act the hero, was now speechless with embarrassment.

Her silence was taken as confirmation by Zhao Dong.

He ridiculed them even more.

“Are you his mistress, so he won’t acknowledge you?”

“A cowardly scoundrel and a shameless woman, a perfect match!”

Hearing Zhao Dong dismiss his explanations and even insult him, Wang Haoran felt speechless.

What a jerk, no wonder she dumped you.

I felt sorry for you and tried to explain.

My mistake, as the richest man in S City, I shouldn’t have lowered myself to talk to you.

Thinking this, Wang Haoran couldn’t be bothered to stay and walked away.

But Zhao Dong didn’t give up.

He threw the bouquet on the ground and pointed at them, shouting stubbornly.

“Xu Yan, and you, the third wheel! Remember this!”

“Thirty years west of the river, thirty years east. Don’t bully the poor youth!”

“One day, I’ll be richer than you!”

“Then I’ll repay this humiliation tenfold!”

As Zhao Dong finished speaking.

As if to echo his words, an elderly voice accompanied by applause sounded.

“Well said!”

“Thirty years west, thirty years east. Don’t bully the poor youth. Well said!”

“You’re truly the master’s son! Just like the master back then!”
