Chapter 142 - 108: The Peak of Nanshan, Happy as an Immortal
He first went to his bedroom to check on Li Jinshu. Finding her already asleep, he didn’t disturb her.
Then, he went to the bedroom where Chen Xin had been staying.
Although she had only stayed for two nights, a faint, pleasant scent already lingered in the room.
The blanket on the bed was folded neatly, the sheet was spread without a single crease, and the pillows were placed symmetrically on either side of the headboard.
It was as if she had never stayed in the room at all.
Xu Yun walked over and reached under a pillow, pulling out a thick, large envelope.
He hadn’t even opened it, but experience told him it was most likely money.
Sure enough, when Xu Yun took a look, he found a letter along with the cash.
"Xu Yun, thank you for your company these past few days. You let me live a dream-like life.
I was so happy.
A huge mansion, luxury cars, high-end hotels, my favorite rooftop infinity pool, and even a nighttime cruise on the Bund.
I also got to eat so many things I’d always wanted to try but never could.
There’s just one thing—we were spending money like water.
Here’s 100,000. Just consider it my travel expenses for the past few days.
I don’t know if it’s enough, but this is all I have.
If it’s not enough, once I earn more, I’ll pay you back the rest, okay?
You probably don’t care about this little bit of money, but I do.
I believe equality between a man and a woman starts with financial independence. It’s not about one person supporting the other.
If I just used your money with a clear conscience, our relationship would become unequal.
It should be this way whether we’re friends or a couple.
If I end up falling for you, I don’t want it to be because of your money. I want it to be for you as a person.
The kind of love where I’d like you whether you were rich or poor!
Oh, right, and the 300,000 you tipped my account. When I get back, I’ll withdraw it and give it to your aunt. I’ll just say you told me to give it to her.
I’ll help you take good care of her, so don’t worry.
Also, one last thing.
Could you try not to be so unrestrained?
I mean, there was a living, breathing person sleeping right next door.
You two were at it all night, and it kept me awake all night too. I hate you for it."
Reading this, Xu Yun froze on the spot.
’So she knew all about last night.’
’How awkward!’
’I thought Li Jinshu and I had been completely discreet, but someone was listening in the whole time!’
Tucking the letter away, Xu Yun put it and the money back in the nightstand.
’She gave me all her earnings. What’s she going to live on when she gets back?’
’This woman is so foolish.’
’If I give her money directly, she probably won’t accept it. I’ll have to find another way.’
Time for his "Angry Brother" persona to go online.
Xu Yun opened the novel app and, without a second thought, tipped her novel with two Golden Patron awards!
This move achieved his goal, but the novel’s website benefited too, taking its cut.
But Xu Yun didn’t care. His money wasn’t even like real money to him. He just considered it a processing fee.
He had just finished making the tips when the system’s reward came through.
[Fortune favors fools. The Host chose to Do as You Please and tipped the other party with two Golden Patron awards. Reward: 500,000 in cash!]
[Bank Card Balance: 20,850,000]
’See? The more I spend, the more I get!’
’I can’t lose at all!’
Xu Yun walked out. Just as he was about to head back to his bedroom to rest and hold Li Jinshu, he received a call from the Porsche dealership.
They said his car had been repaired and was ready for pickup.
To be honest, Xu Yun didn’t really want to drive that car anymore.
He had originally thought of giving it to Li Jinshu, since she didn’t have a car. But on second thought, if he really gave it to her, what if it made Su Mu suspicious?
So, after some consideration, he decided to give the car to Ning Qian.
His reasoning? Ning Qian was busy with company matters and needed a convenient mode of transport. He’d give it to her as a company car.
’That way, the other two women can’t say a thing!’
With this in mind, Xu Yun called Ning Qian to ask where she was. He learned she was already at the company’s new office, overseeing the renovations.
She also mentioned that Li Jinshu didn’t seem to be feeling well today and hadn’t come in.
Xu Yun glanced toward his bedroom. Of course he knew why she wasn’t feeling well.
"Wait for me, then. I’ll come pick you up. We’ll grab a bite to eat and then go somewhere."
"Okay."
After picking up Ning Qian, Xu Yun went to have a meal with her.
Afterward, they arrived at the Porsche dealership.
The after-sales staff saw his Bentley and felt that life was just too damn unfair.
It turned out that someone who owned a Porsche might just own other luxury cars, too.
Xu Yun looked at the car before him. It was as good as new; you couldn’t even tell it had been in an accident.
He had to admit, their workmanship was excellent.
After signing the confirmation form, he handed the keys to Ning Qian and said, "This car is yours now."
"???" Ning Qian was puzzled, not quite understanding what he meant.
Xu Yun smiled and said, "It’s so inconvenient without a car. From now on, this one’s yours to drive."
"For... for me?" Ning Qian was utterly astonished.
This wasn’t some car worth tens or hundreds of thousands. This was a luxury car worth over a million. And he was just giving it to her, just like that?
"What, you don’t want it?"
Xu Yun teased, "If you don’t want it, I’ll just give it to someone else."
"I want it, I want it."
Ning Qian clutched the keys tightly and said quickly, "Thank you, Xu Yun!"
"Go take it for a spin. Get a feel for its performance. The gas card is in the armrest compartment."
Xu Yun said, "I won’t go with you. Be careful on the road."
"Okay."
Ning Qian opened the car door and sat in the driver’s seat for the first time. As she touched the steering wheel, her heart pounded uncontrollably.
