Chapter 540 - 536 Love is Built on Material Things (16th Update)
Hearing Lu Tianxing say that, Cao Wei’s eyes flashed with disdain, and his tone became arrogant, "Heh, Mr. Lu, you must be joking. Lan Lan has always been incredibly selective, not just anyone can catch her eye. If Lan Lan has taken a liking to you, there must be something exceptional about you, or else she wouldn’t have spared you a second glance, right?" Cao Wei’s words seemed to praise Lan Xin’s good taste on the surface, but in reality, he was mocking and ridiculing Lu Tianxing, implying that he was just anybody.
As Bai Zhiqing’s secretary, Lan Xin could obviously read between the lines of Cao Wei’s words, and her face turned sour, "Cao Wei, what do you mean by that? Let me tell you, it’s not your place to dictate my affairs. I like Tianxing just the way he is, so what? Is that not allowed? What does it matter that you have money?"
"Lan Lan..."
Cao Wei wanted to say more but was interrupted by Lu Tianxing, "Excuse me, Mr. Cao, whether I’m just anybody isn’t your concern, Lan Lan and I genuinely love each other, let’s not talk about anything else. Also, please show some respect when you speak in the future. From now on, refer to my girlfriend as Lan Xin, and furthermore, please stop bothering her."
At this point, Wei Xunfang, who had been silent, suddenly spoke up, "Lu Tianxing, right? You say you and Lan Lan are truly in love. Then let me ask you, how much is your monthly salary?"
"A little over eight thousand yuan."
"Eight thousand yuan, heh."
Wei Xunfang sighed deeply, turning to Lan Xin with a serious tone, "Lan Lan, did you hear that? His monthly salary is only eight thousand yuan. What can that do in Modu? Nothing at all. Do you want to squeeze in with your parents after you get married? If not, you’ll surely need to buy a house once you’re married. Nowadays in Modu, even the most modest apartments start at several hundred thousand to millions of yuan. Are you willing to bear the burden of a mortgage each month? Are you willing to live without even being able to afford cosmetics every day?"
