YM778.TV Chapter 186
Not to mention the recent conversation, which clearly implied that his relationship with Han Ziyu was just casual fun, not worthy of being called girlfriend material.
This naturally made others at the table look down on Han Ziyu\'s presence, unwilling to waste time on her.
Especially the young man sitting in the middle - he casually leaned against his chair, dressed in high-end custom clothing and auction-grade accessories. His hair was slicked back, revealing handsome features, though his expression carried a hint of rebelliousness. He liked to tilt his head back and look down at people, appearing rather contemptuous.
"Qi Li, just have fun but don\'t get too invested. After all, most women are just after money and will do anything for it," Luo Zhou sneered, "Be careful not to fall for their disguise!"
These words were harsh, but Ji Fei found them even more amusing.
[Hmm... although... but why wouldn\'t working people be considered doing things for money? I can\'t argue with that. Well, looking at Han Ziyu\'s expression, she seems quite accepting, clearly agreeing that Luo Zhou has a point about her!]
Qin Xian, who knew the whole story, felt that \'second-hand embarrassment\' was becoming his chronic condition as he listened to these comments.
Luo Zhou spoke directly in front of Han Ziyu, with obvious intent to humiliate, but the one who looked upset wasn\'t Han Ziyu but Xuan Yi beside him.
Not only did she look upset, but her eyes also seemed to redden instantly. Others who knew some of the background also showed changes in their expressions.
Luo Zhou even glanced at Xuan Yi after speaking.
[Oh my, so it wasn\'t about Han Ziyu at all! He\'s actually making indirect accusations here. Indeed, what a messy situation. Well done, Luo Zhou, doesn\'t he realize this is like cuckolding his own brother?]
Qin Xian almost spat out his water.
Qin Xian was already numb - of all the gossip Ji Fei had mentioned before, only one remained: the ex-girlfriend becoming a sister-in-law while maintaining ambiguous relations - was this about Luo Zhou and Xuan Yi?
Luo Zhou... had dated Xuan Yi?
And they were still entangled?
Qin Xian\'s memory world was starting to crumble.
Meanwhile, Ji Fei was thoroughly enjoying this drama.
[They had secretly dated for a while, not many people knew about it. Given Luo Zhou\'s personality, agreeing to keep it secret meant he really cared for Xuan Yi. But Xuan Yi was just uncertain about marrying him, worried about her future reputation, which is why she insisted on keeping it secret.]
[Later, when Xuan Yi\'s family hit a development bottleneck, she knew that marrying Luo Zhou, who couldn\'t inherit the Luo family business and could only be a rich playboy, wouldn\'t give them the ability or qualification to help them climb higher. So Xuan Yi used her connection with Luo Zhou to actively approach Luo Cheng. By the time Luo Zhou found out, both families had already arranged the marriage.]
[When Luo Zhou confronted Xuan Yi, she could only painfully express that although she loved him, she wanted to climb higher and bring more benefits to her family. Since then, Luo Zhou has viewed Xuan Yi as a selfish woman who could sacrifice her own love for money. So he can\'t help but target her, yet can\'t help but still care... ahem, I really don\'t want to watch this uncle-sister-in-law drama.]
Qin Xian: He didn\'t want to watch it either.
No wonder there was a period when he always looked particularly tormented and often used money to mess with girls who pursued him. Who would have thought this was the reason?
Luo Zhou\'s elder brother Luo Cheng was a very good business partner of Qin Xian\'s, and he was certain Luo Cheng still knew nothing about this.
Looking at their current reactions, Qin Xian felt this problem was getting serious. It was obvious they hadn\'t let go internally - wouldn\'t this cause trouble?
Suddenly, Qin Xian felt Ji Fei turn to look at him, and while he was wondering why,
He heard Ji Fei sigh in her mind: [They really are brothers in misfortune. Excluding Luo Fei and Yu Yue, the rest of you all... can only watch helplessly as your loved ones drift away from you. Love without reciprocation, unable to forget - you\'re all considered tall, rich, and handsome, how can your love lives be so unfortunate!]
Qin Xian: ...He was different from these people!
Qin Xian didn\'t understand why Ji Fei, who loved gossip so much, never spent any time looking into his heart.
Perhaps... his luck in love was truly that bad.
With this sigh, Qin Xian suddenly froze, his expression becoming unnatural, his mind turning to mush, his ears gradually turning red. He instinctively wanted to reach out and hold Ji Fei\'s hand.
But then he heard Ji Fei\'s mind exclaim: [What!]
Qin Xian\'s thoughts were interrupted, and when he came back to his senses, he heard that the table discussion had progressed to talking about Luo Zhou\'s current girlfriend.
Wait, Luo Zhou has a girlfriend?!
It turned out that although Luo Zhou\'s earlier words had ulterior motives, they essentially challenged Qi Li. Despite being friends, neither would back down.
Qi Li had indeed spent money, but he didn\'t want to admit it, so hearing those words made him unhappy. He wanted to argue back, but seeing Luo Zhou\'s gloomy face, he suddenly realized something. He immediately started stirring up trouble: "Yeah, yeah, you\'re experienced in this area, so is that why you\'re being so careful with your current girlfriend? What\'s wrong? Didn\'t bring her today because you haven\'t figured out her true intentions yet?"
These words surprised many people present.
Xuan Yi\'s face stiffened.
This time, Luo Zhou didn\'t look at Xuan Yi. A flash of discomfort crossed his face before he forced a casual tone: "I wanted to bring her, but she had work today."
Yu Yue and Bai Xiaoxi, hearing this for the first time, immediately started asking questions.
"She\'s from an ordinary family? You\'re like Luo Fei, looking outside our circle?" Yu Yue asked in surprise, "That\'s strange. Given your personality, Young Master Luo Zhou, I wouldn\'t expect you to be as accommodating as Luo Fei, letting your girlfriend leave just because she says she has overtime work?"
"Why are you talking about me behind my back?" As these words were spoken, Luo Fei had returned and immediately put Yu Yue in a headlock, making Yu Yue beg for mercy.
Actually, no one at the table really cared about Luo Fei\'s girlfriend leaving, since she wasn\'t from their circle anyway. They basically ignored her, not out of contempt, but because they found it difficult to connect with her. They only occasionally acknowledged her out of respect for Luo Fei, as he was the only one with a hero complex who didn\'t care about social background.
"We\'re saying Luo Zhou has become a good man like you," Bai Xiaoxi said, shaking with laughter.
"Huh?" Luo Fei looked confused.
At this point, Jing Yan directly revealed the truth: "I bet you haven\'t told her your real identity yet? Be careful not to play with fire and get burned."
"What? You\'re dating while hiding your identity?" Even the usually calm Cen Ting was surprised at this.
Seeing Cen Ting\'s interest, Jing Yan immediately sold out his friend completely: "That\'s right, he\'s pretending to be poor over there to test her sincerity."
Cen Ting frowned: "That\'s a bit unethical."
Qi Li added salt to the wound: "What\'s even more unethical is that our Young Master Luo Zhou has let her support him for two years and still wants to continue? I\'d say that girl must be quite naive."
Now Luo Zhou\'s expression was genuinely uncomfortable, but his arrogant nature wouldn\'t let him lose face.
"What do you all know? She fell in love with me at first sight, and I saw her sincerity, so I\'m just giving her a chance. I have no other requirements for my partner except that they truly love me, regardless of whether they\'re poor or rich. She\'s doing well... so, barring any accidents, she\'ll be my marriage partner. Although I let her support me for two years, I\'ll give her a life of luxury that her social class could never dream of in the future, which makes up for it."
Luo Zhou spoke arrogantly, but his expression was actually serious, which surprised everyone at the table.
"Really getting married? Do you really like her?" Bai Xiaoxi asked curiously.
Luo Zhou paused for a moment, then nodded, a fleeting tenderness passing through his eyes.
Xuan Yi lowered her gaze, pressed her lips together, and gripped her phone tightly.
Luo Fei frowned and said, "This way... you\'re basically playing with her genuine feelings. If she\'s really as good as you say, she might not be able to accept the truth calmly. You\'d better explain everything soon, apologize properly, and ask for forgiveness. Otherwise..."
But Luo Zhou suddenly spoke with some urgency: "That won\'t happen. You don\'t know how much she loves me, how she can\'t live without me."
"Oh, that sounds familiar, Qi Li just said the same thing," Jing Yan said with a faint smile.
Aliali: 674b3534c4f3f33ac49f1778Qi Li immediately glared back.
Meanwhile, Qin Xian, who had been quietly listening to them, suddenly changed expression, his brows furrowing tightly.
Was this just a coincidence?
Turning her head, she saw Ji Fei\'s expression had already changed, showing a look of disbelief.
Sure enough, her inner thoughts soon exploded.
[Damn! In this desolate land of Ba Mountain and Chu waters, even this lunatic comes to disgust me?!]
[To think that the kept man Little Tang\'s been supporting is actually Luo Zhou!!! What kind of poor girl and rich boy love game is this?! Does Luo Zhou know how much Little Tang suffered because of him?! Is there something wrong with his head?]
[Just because Xuan Yi deceived him emotionally, he has to turn around and play with someone else\'s feelings? If you\'ve got the guts, why don\'t you go take revenge on the person who deceived you... Xuan Yi, she... wait! What did she do?! She... she... she... Damn! There\'s going to be major drama today!]
At this moment, in a small private room on the same floor specifically reserved for guests to touch up their makeup, Yu Zhi arrived with her girlfriends.
Inside, two makeup artists were already prepared.
