After Becoming Financially Free, They Offered Their Loyalty - Chapter 11

Chapter 11: What Are You Doing Here?

TL: YYang

“What’s he doing here?”

Hou Jun couldn’t help but mutter. He had heard from Zhou Wanting that Shen Yuan’s family had gone bankrupt and was heavily in debt.

Logically, someone like Shen Yuan, without his parents’ support, was just a poor student. How could he dare to come to a place like the IFC to spend money?

When he saw the girl next to Shen Yuan paying the taxi fare, Hou Jun’s heart instantly felt unbalanced.

What the hell? He could still spend a woman’s money after going bankrupt?

And in the passenger seat, Zhou Wanting watched as the two paid the fare and walked into the IFC side by side, her face slowly darkening.

They had just broken up yesterday, and today he was already out on a date with another girl.

Shen Yuan, you’ve got some nerve!

On the other side, Shen Yuan was completely unaware of Hou Jun and Zhou Wanting. They arrived on the first floor of the mall and happened to see a tea shop. So, they each ordered a cup of milk tea, sat down to finish it slowly, and then started shopping.

The first floor of the IFC was mostly clothes, gold and silver jewelry, and cosmetics. The luxury brands were mostly on the second floor.

Shen Yuan wasn’t interested in these things, so he led Fang Minhui directly to the second floor, planning to look at bags.

He had already bought an LV last time, so this time Shen Yuan wanted to check out Prada or Chanel.

But just as they reached the entrance of Prada, he unexpectedly saw Zhou Wanting and her greasy middle-aged man inside.

What a small world for enemies! Shen Yuan didn’t want to run into them, so he turned around and said, “Let’s go check out other stores first.”

“Okay.”

Fang Minhui had no objection. In fact, just being able to go out for a top-tier Japanese meal with Shen Yuan today was enough to make her happy.

She hadn’t had much chance to interact with Shen Yuan before, but through tonight, her impression of him had changed somewhat.

The feeling of being with him was completely different from being with Li Zhanpeng.

Li Zhanpeng always spoke with a boastful tone, as if he wanted to show off all his supposed strengths.

For example, “My family bought me a fully paid-for apartment in Star City’s Tianjiao Haoting last year. It’s not big, only 120 square meters, but I think it’s enough. It’s too much trouble to clean if it’s too big.”

Or, “A car is just a means of transportation. It doesn’t need to be too good, as long as it gets you around. My mom always wants to get me a BMW, but I refused. After all, our parents’ money doesn’t grow on trees. We should learn to be considerate of our parents.”

There were many other similar remarks, which Fang Minhui found very annoying.

Shen Yuan was different. From beginning to end tonight, he had shown a sense of ease and calmness.

He didn’t deliberately show off or boast about his family’s background. Their conversations were all about interesting things at school or embarrassing stories from their childhood.

So, the whole process was very pleasant. Fang Minhui was enjoying herself and was already looking forward to their next date.

“Shen Yuan!”

A male voice came from behind Shen Yuan. Shen Yuan frowned. He already knew who it was, but he was in a good mood today and didn’t want it to be ruined by this dog couple, so he pretended not to hear.

Fang Minhui subconsciously looked back and saw a strange middle-aged man. But seeing Shen Yuan’s indifferent look, she thought he hadn’t heard and reminded him, “Shen Yuan, someone is calling you.”

“I don’t know him. Ignore him.” Shen Yuan quickened his pace.

“Shen Yuan, since you’re already at the door, why don’t you come in and have a look? It doesn’t cost anything to look.”

Hou Jun took a few steps forward, looking at Shen Yuan’s retreating figure with a sense of superiority. Hou Jun had been messed with by Shen Yuan yesterday and was looking for a chance to get back at him. He thought, I haven’t even experienced those things, and you, this piece of shit, got to enjoy them all!

He had initially thought that a poor student like Shen Yuan would only browse on the first floor, but he hadn’t expected him to dare to come to the second floor.

You have to have a woman pay for your taxi fare, and you still come to Prada?

Can you even afford it? Of course, this was also a chance to leave a deep impression on the beautiful girl next to him.

Let this girl open her eyes and see clearly that there was no future with this kind of poor guy. What’s the use of being able to look but not buy?

Zhou Wanting was engrossed in looking at bags. Hearing Hou Jun’s voice, she subconsciously looked in this direction and immediately put down the bag and walked over.

“Shen Yuan, what are you doing here?”

Zhou Wanting called out to Shen Yuan in an unfriendly tone.

Shen Yuan couldn’t help but curse a few times in his heart. Now he couldn’t leave even if he wanted to. He might as well turn around and say, “What a coincidence, you guys are here too?”

Fang Minhui turned to look at the two of them. She didn’t know the middle-aged man, but she had seen the senior, Zhou Wanting, before, as she used to be with Shen Yuan often.

And Zhou Wanting was sizing up Fang Minhui, who looked somewhat familiar, probably also from the college.

She subconsciously compared the other girl to herself. Not only was her looks better than hers, but her figure… Her bust and hips were clearly fuller than hers.

Zhou Wanting became even more displeased. Yesterday, Shen Yuan had almost exposed all her secrets, and now he was out shopping with a better-looking girl. What did he mean by this? If Shen Yuan had found a girl who was inferior to her in every way, she wouldn’t have said anything and would have even felt a little smug. But now he had found a beautiful girl with a better figure than her? Zhou Wanting even suspected that Shen Yuan had deliberately appeared here at this time to piss her off! “I’m just looking around, picking a gift for my sister.”

Shen Yuan replied faintly.

“Pfft…”

Hou Jun couldn’t help but laugh out loud. “If you’re buying a gift for your sister, you should go to a toy wholesale market or Pinduoduo. What are you doing here?”

The commotion between the four of them was not small, and the Prada sales associates who saw this scene were also exclaiming in their hearts.

Mr. Shen was a regular customer. Although he hadn’t been here for the past few months, they remembered him.

Ms. Zhou was Mr. Shen’s girlfriend, and they knew that too.

But from the looks of it, it seemed that Shen Yuan was shopping with a new flame who had a better figure than Ms. Zhou, and then they ran into Ms. Zhou and her “new” flame, a middle-aged man of at least forty.

And from Ms. Zhou’s attitude and tone, it seemed that Mr. Shen had dumped Ms. Zhou? But since they had broken up yesterday, putting aside Mr. Shen’s fault, why did Ms. Zhou find an old man to buy her a bag so quickly? When Ms. Zhou and the old man entered the store just now, one of the sales associates who often served them, Julia, had thought he was Ms. Zhou’s father.

After all, in her subjective impression, Ms. Zhou had always been Mr. Shen’s girlfriend.

But with her years of experience selling luxury goods, Julia saw something unusual in their eyes and decisively changed the “uncle” that was on the tip of her tongue to “big brother.”

Julia was very glad for her reaction. After all, this kind of thing was not new these days.

After all, last time, there was a seventy-something-year-old grandfather who brought a twenty-something-year-old young woman to spend money.

These two were only twenty years apart, what was that?
