Rejected by the Campus Belle, I Find My True Love-Chapter 239 - 237 Brother is Rich, Playing by Throwing Money Away

Chapter 239: Chapter 237 Brother is Rich, Playing by Throwing Money Away

Isn’t that the airport?

He thought it was a bit strange. Although Lin Xi’s photography skills were no match for his, her camerawork shouldn’t have been this bad. It was as if she was just taking pictures for the sake of taking them. This little girl can’t even tell a convincing lie.

"The photo turned out nicely."

Seeing this message, Lin Xi suddenly realized her mistake. Oh no, why did I include the background?

"I happened to be passing by the airport, so I just came over to wait for you. Don’t overthink it."

"What time did you get here?"

"A little after ten."

That meant she had come to the airport to wait for him as soon as she woke up.

Xue Yang suddenly had a premonition. The little kitten probably hadn’t listened and stayed home the day he left, but had secretly come to see him off instead.

When Xue Yang didn’t reply for a long time, Lin Xi started to worry. He’s not angry, is he?

Just then, a message came through, and Lin Xi quickly opened it to read it.

"Remember to have lunch."

"Okay. I’ll go eat now."

"Good."

Putting his phone away, Luo Hang was still there, trying to persuade them earnestly. "Sell it to me for 30,000 yuan. You won’t lose much, right? Xiao Zhi has experience in auto repair, doesn’t he? Perfect. I’ll make you the shop manager, then I’ll hire two apprentices for you, and you’ll just have to supervise their work without having to do a single thing yourself."

What a load of empty promises. They had only just taken over the auto repair shop a few days ago, and he wanted them to take a 20,000-yuan loss right off the bat. The nerve of him.

It was true that Brother Zhang selling the auto repair tools as scrap had been an unexpected blow, but those tools weren’t included in the transfer fee to begin with. Initially, Brother Zhang might not have realized he’d fallen into Xue Yang’s trap. Once he did, he used the most direct method to take back his property.

This loss was, arguably, within Xue Yang’s acceptable range. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

But now Luo Hang wanted to acquire the shop for a mere 30,000 yuan without lifting a finger. He might be eager for a bite, but it all depended on whether Xue Yang would let him.

Yang Xiaozhi was so angry his face flushed and the veins on his neck bulged, but for a moment, he didn’t know how to retort. This was because they were, in fact, losing money. Moreover, they hadn’t even started ordering the new auto repair tools yet. This meant that every day that passed, they were in the red.

"We’re not selling," Xue Yang said indifferently.

"Do you want to keep losing money? That place might be remote, but the monthly rent isn’t cheap."

"That’s not for you to worry about."

"I’m giving you a chance to get out now. Later, when you can’t hold on any longer and are desperate to sell, you won’t get this price."

"I’ve got money to burn. Is that a problem?"

The single sentence left Luo Hang speechless, his face flushing beet-red. Even he wouldn’t dare to casually claim he had money to throw away for fun, yet Xue Yang said it so easily. Most importantly, the words sounded completely natural coming from him.

"Since that’s the case, I won’t say any more."

Seeing Luo Hang look so thwarted and helpless, Yang Xiaozhi felt a surge of satisfaction. It really takes my cousin to handle things like this. Trying to take advantage of us? Dream on.

For the rest of the journey, the three of them were silent. Luo Hang hadn’t achieved his goal; instead, he had wasted half a tank of gas and filled his belly with rage.

Yang Xiaozhi, while gloating internally, was also a little worried. After all, they really were losing money.

Xue Yang, on the other hand, was pondering whether he should just buy the shop outright. How cost-effective would that be?

Fortunately, he had been cautious after his negotiations with Brother Zhang; otherwise, the shop might not have truly ended up in their hands. This incident served as a wake-up call for Xue Yang. Even a half-dead auto repair shop had people scheming to snatch it away. Wouldn’t something with high traffic like King’s Game be an even bigger target?

It seems I’ll have to seek more protection. This is our blood, sweat, and tears; I will never hand it over to someone else.

At 1:30 p.m., the car arrived at Hui City Airport.

"Luo Hang, thanks for going out of your way to give me a ride. Be careful on your way back."

Yang Xiaozhi wanted to walk Xue Yang inside but was turned down. He could only wave his hand.

"Cousin, goodbye."

"Goodbye!"

Xue Yang headed toward the airport, pulling his suitcase behind him.

The temperature difference between the north and south was huge, so Xue Yang had already changed into thick clothes. It was a bit warm now, so he carried his coat over one arm, pulling his suitcase with his other hand, exuding an air of composed nonchalance. The moment he appeared, he immediately drew everyone’s attention, just as he had when he got off the plane before. Some of the bolder people even stopped to openly take photos.

Xue Yang seemed to have grown used to it and walked inside without a sidelong glance.

Why does my cousin look so familiar? Yang Xiaozhi wondered. But he couldn’t quite put his finger on where he’d seen him like this before.

When he turned around, Luo Hang was already gone, having driven off at some point. Yang Xiaozhi didn’t care. He had no intention of ever contacting someone like that again.

"We haven’t seen each other in years, and the moment he gets in touch, it’s with an ulterior motive. Pfft!"

Spitting on the ground in disgust, Yang Xiaozhi hailed a cab and headed home.

This whole time, in order not to feel such a wide gap between himself and Xue Yang, he had suppressed his usual personality. Now that Xue Yang had gone back, his long-suppressed "national essence" burst forth in all its glory. Unbeknownst to Luo Hang, eighteen generations of his ancestors were being thoroughly cursed.

Back home, Chen Fang was browsing Taobao. Today, she was wearing a matching couple’s outfit she had bought from Trendy Apparel, specifically for the New Year. After wearing it, other clothes felt a bit plain. The main reason was that the clothes from that store were genuinely trendy and fashionable. The only issue was that the prices were still a bit high for them.

If only they were a little cheaper, Chen Fang thought.

"I think I remember now!" Yang Xiaozhi suddenly exclaimed.

Chen Fang looked up in confusion. "Remember what?"

"Pull up the online store for Trendy Apparel and let’s have a look."

Chen Fang’s eyes lit up. Could Xiao Zhi be buying her clothes from Trendy Apparel again? She had been window-shopping for a while but hadn’t dared to click on their store, afraid she wouldn’t be able to resist once she was inside. Hearing Yang Xiaozhi’s words, she immediately clicked on it without a second thought.

Yang Xiaozhi sat down next to her, looking as though he was going to help her pick out clothes, which made her heart flutter even more.

"See the model up there?" Yang Xiaozhi suddenly asked.

"The model?" Chen Fang hadn’t been paying attention, but now that Yang Xiaozhi mentioned it, she specifically zoomed in on the model’s picture.

...

...

They stared at each other with wide eyes.

Xue Yang!

The spokesperson for Trendy Apparel!

Three and a half hours later, the plane landed smoothly at Yancheng International Airport.

The temperature difference between the north and south was indeed huge. As soon as he got off the plane, Xue Yang immediately felt the bone-chilling wind. He hurriedly put on his coat. The thick jacket insulated him from the biting wind, instantly making him feel warmer.

His long legs, combined with his eagerness to see a certain someone, propelled him to the front of the crowd. The long, black windbreaker made him look cool and dashing, as if he were being followed by a security detail.
