Chapter 115: Fang Xuan Seeks Help
In the evening, a group of middle-aged women were dancing in the square below a slightly run-down residential building. Fang Xuan returned from work, riding a shared bicycle. These women were neighbors and knew Fang Xuan well. She politely greeted a few familiar faces.
One of the women approached her, enthusiastically trying to set her up with a man. She boasted about him being an executive at a certain company, earning a yearly salary of 500,000 yuan, though he was divorced with two children. Fang Xuan firmly refused. Even if she were out of her mind, she wouldn’t marry such a person.
The matchmaker woman was displeased, as the man was her relative. Seeing Fang Xuan’s reluctance, she began to criticize her, mentioning Fang Xuan’s family’s debts, her unemployed 20-year-old brother, and her two dependent parents. She argued that given such conditions, Fang Xuan should be grateful for any suitor, even if he was divorced.
These women were sharp-tongued, and Fang Xuan couldn’t outtalk them, so she chose to avoid confrontation. However, the woman wouldn’t let it go and blocked Fang Xuan’s path.
Just then, the roar of a car engine was heard. Everyone turned to see a golden supercar approaching, stopping in front of the woman. The women were stunned; they had only seen such cars on TV and never expected to see one in person.
Fang Xuan was also curious. The area was filled with old residential buildings, and the people living there were mostly from the lower class. How could such a luxury car end up here? Was it a rich second-generation kid? Everyone was puzzled.
Soon, the scissor doors of the supercar opened, and out stepped someone who shocked everyone—Fang Heng!
“Brother, this car…” Fang Xuan looked puzzled.
“Lamborghini Aventador, how about it? Isn’t it cool?” Fang Heng boasted proudly.
“You… you bought it?!” Fang Xuan exclaimed.
“Yeah,” Fang Heng nodded.
“How much?”
“It’s fully equipped, with all the paperwork, about 9.8 million yuan,” Fang Heng said casually.
Wow!!!
The surrounding women were stunned. Had the Fang family’s boy become so successful that he could buy a 9.8 million yuan supercar? The women stopped dancing and gathered around enthusiastically, eager to introduce potential matches to Fang Heng.
Fang Heng, who had often been mocked by these women, now felt a sense of satisfaction. Having money felt great. However, his joy was short-lived as he noticed his sister’s face was tense, clearly unhappy, even angry.
Meanwhile, elsewhere, Wang Haoran suddenly received a system notification.
[Ding, the host’s manipulation caused the protagonist Fang Heng to fail in showing off in front of the heroine Fang Xuan, earning 300 villain points!]
This left Wang Haoran momentarily stunned. He had just parted ways with Tang Bingyun and was planning to visit Qin Yunhan’s dormitory. After receiving the notification, he quickly manipulated his phone to listen in on Fang Xuan’s situation.
“Sis, I just spent 9.8 million on a car. It’s a bit pricey, but it’s not a big deal. I’ve made so much money,” Fang Heng couldn’t help but say.
Hearing this, Fang Xuan became even angrier. He made so much money? If it weren’t for her sacrifices, her foolish brother wouldn’t have earned a single cent. Fang Xuan’s original plan was to use the 10 million yuan to treat their parents’ illnesses. Now, Fang Heng had spent it on a supercar. And not just any supercar, but an expensive one.
From what Fang Xuan knew, a lower-spec Lamborghini Aventador could be bought for over 6 million yuan. But this guy went for the top-spec version. He was simply crazy!
“You need to return this car tomorrow,” Fang Xuan said.
“Why should I return it?” Fang Heng was puzzled.
“I received a call today. A kidney match for mom has been found, and we can arrange the surgery now. But the costs for the transplant and post-operative care are very high, nearly 2 million yuan,” Fang Xuan explained.
“A kidney match has been found? That’s great,” Fang Heng was initially delighted, then said, “Sis, don’t you still have nearly 20 million yuan? Use that.”
“I…” Fang Xuan was speechless. She had no money. The fake antiques Fang Heng had sold to Wang Haoran were returned because Fang Xuan didn’t want Wang Haoran to be a fool. She had sent the money back to him. Facing Fang Heng’s questions, Fang Xuan couldn’t bring herself to reveal her shameful actions.
“A car is just a means of transportation. Why buy such an expensive supercar? You need to return it tomorrow,” Fang Xuan insisted.
“No way. If I return it, I’ll lose a lot of money, and I really like this car. I won’t return it!” Fang Heng was stubborn.
“You’re not even listening to me now?” Fang Xuan’s face turned stern.
“Sis, it’s my money. I can spend it however I want,” Fang Heng retorted.
“You!” Fang Xuan was furious, raising her hand, wanting to slap her foolish brother. But she eventually lowered her hand, not hitting him. She sighed and, after leaving Fang Heng’s sight, took out her phone to make a call.
If Fang Heng refused to sell the car, where would the money for their mother’s treatment come from? The only person she could think of was Wang Haoran.
Elsewhere, Wang Haoran saw Fang Xuan’s call. He had heard the argument between Fang Xuan and Fang Heng about selling the car. Wang Haoran could easily guess Fang Xuan’s intention for calling. However, he deliberately ignored the call, letting it ring without answering.
Fang Xuan thought Wang Haoran was busy, so she called again after a while. Wang Haoran still didn’t answer. Fang Xuan was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, pacing around.
Wang Haoran felt it was about time and finally returned Fang Xuan’s call.
“I want to see you, at the hotel we often go to. Is that okay?” Fang Xuan asked proactively.
“I have plans with someone else. Maybe another day,” Wang Haoran lied.
“It’s okay, I can wait for you, no matter how long it takes,” Fang Xuan replied.
“We’re all adults here. I’ve already said I have plans with someone else. Don’t you understand?” Wang Haoran tried to manipulate Fang Xuan.
Hearing this, Fang Xuan suddenly realized. Of course, someone as bad as him wouldn’t have just one woman.
“Could you… could you cancel with them? I’ll… accompany you?” Fang Xuan disregarded her pride.
“I treat everyone equally. I can’t just send someone away because of you,” Wang Haoran said firmly, then suddenly changed his tone, “But if you’re willing, I can have both.”
Fang Xuan was dumbfounded, speechless for a long time.
“Then sorry for bothering you, bye,” Wang Haoran said without hesitation.
“Don’t hang up,” Fang Xuan hurriedly stopped him, took a deep breath, and asked, “Where?”
“The usual place.”
