Chapter 64: So the Clown Was Me All Along
TL: YYang
Tian Yuping found it somewhat amusing. “Are you really doing a part-time job?”
Guan Yongzhen also asked teasingly, “A coffee shop? How much an hour?”
Shen Yuan smiled faintly. “Not much, but it’s no problem to treat you to a cup of coffee.”
“Alright, since you’ve offered to treat us, let’s go.”
Tian Yuping sneered inwardly. This Shen Yuan was really ridiculous. He was so concerned about face even though he had no money. Three people, three cups of coffee, that would be equivalent to his whole day’s wages, right?
“Uh… Yuping, Yongzhen, let’s not go. Don’t we have things to do this afternoon?”
Cong Xiaoyi felt a little embarrassed. They were all classmates, so there was no need to expose his secrets. Besides, Shen Yuan was already doing a part-time job, so how could they let him treat them?
Guan Yongzhen crossed her arms in front of her chest and said without a doubt, “It’s fine, Xiaoyi. Shen Yuan has already offered to treat us, so let’s give him a chance.”
“…”
So, the girls followed Shen Yuan to the “MS” coffee shop. Since “MS” was also on Zhenhua Street, it was only about a hundred meters away, and they arrived in a short while.
But as soon as they walked into the coffee shop, the three of them froze.
Because at this moment, there were two beautiful women chatting and laughing in the coffee shop. With every smile, they made the originally petty-bourgeois coffee shop even more charming.
One of them was about 170 cm tall, with a head of flaxen hair, wearing a short skirt that revealed her long, straight, beautiful legs. The other, although slightly shorter, had equally stunning features, especially her bust, which was proudly superior to all others.
Tian Yuping subconsciously took a step back. As a girl, when she met other beautiful girls, she would always subconsciously compare herself.
If she met someone who was inferior to her in all aspects, she would inevitably feel a sense of superiority.
And if she met someone who was better than her in all aspects, she would feel a sense of inferiority in her heart.
But the current situation was obviously the latter.
“Shen Yuan, you’re here~”
When Chen Na saw Shen Yuan arrive, she raised her beautiful eyes. “Have a seat. I’ll let you try the cappuccino I just learned to make later.”
After returning in the afternoon, besides chatting with Liu Menglu, Chen Na had been making coffee with Xiao Qiu. The first successful cup she made, she sent a message to Shen Yuan on WeChat.
“Shen Yuan, didn’t you say you had something to do this afternoon~”
Liu Menglu came forward and pretended to be dissatisfied, pouting. “Hmph~ Is it the matter of taking three female classmates out to play?”
Although her expression was indignant, Liu Menglu actually felt a sense of joy from successfully waiting for her prey. Hou Qianqian had gone back after an hour, but she had been holding on until now.
Sure enough, her efforts paid off, and she really did wait for Shen Yuan.
Shen Yuan sighed silently. “No, I just happened to run into them on the street. They wanted a cup of coffee.”
“Is that so~”
Liu Menglu coldly sized up the three of them and found that their looks were much inferior to hers and Nana’s. She then smiled brightly. “Hello, little sisters. What kind of coffee would you like?”
A woman with workplace experience knew how to exude her charm and aura, especially a high-level woman like Liu Menglu. Just in that instant when her eyes swept over them, the three of them felt like they couldn’t even speak.
Just now, it was clearly a scrutinizing gaze, but it suddenly turned into a friendly tone. This switching speed was too fast.
Tian Yuping was completely suppressed in front of this kind of woman. How could an inexperienced university student compare to a vixen who had cultivated for many years?
But what surprised her even more was, why did these two women with impeccable figures and looks seem to be trying to please Shen Yuan with their tone, and their gazes towards him were even a little flirtatious?
But before Tian Yuping could react, Shen Yuan shouted again, “Xiao Qiu, come here for a moment.”
Xiao Qiu was at the counter and immediately ran out upon hearing him. “Boss, what’s wrong?”
“Ask these three beauties what they would like to drink. These three cups are on me.”
“Okay, boss.”
Xiao Qiu said with a smile, “Three beauties, why don’t you sit down first, scan the QR code on the table to see what you want to drink, and then tell me what you want, and I’ll make it.”
Hearing the employee’s address, the three of them were even more confused. What the hell was this? Why did she call Shen Yuan “boss”?
Shen Yuan was the owner of this coffee shop???
“Um, why don’t we not drink…”
Cong Xiaoyi pulled the two of them and whispered.
The situation was already obvious. Not only had Shen Yuan’s family not gone bankrupt, but he had also opened a coffee shop. Although he had broken up with his senior, he now had a new love.
Cong Xiaoyi really felt so embarrassed. Just now, her two roommates had even wanted to see him make a fool of himself, but instead, he had shown them up.
If she had known, she shouldn’t have come here with them!
And Tian Yuping’s expression at this moment was as if she had eaten shit. She had never expected that this “bankrupt” rich second generation, Shen Yuan, was a fake.
Not only had he not gone bankrupt, but he had also opened a coffee shop, and what’s more, he was keeping three wives and four concubines outside.
No, where did the rumor that Shen Yuan’s family had gone bankrupt come from!
Tian Yuping was a little frantic, and at the same time, she felt a little ridiculous. She had just wanted to step on Shen Yuan, but what qualifications did she have?
Neither of these two women was someone she could compare to!
“Yes, yes, Xiaoyi is right. Let’s not drink…”
Guan Yongzhen spoke incoherently and quickly pulled the two of them out of the “MS” coffee shop.
She had realized that something was wrong as soon as she walked in, and she hadn’t expected her guess to be confirmed.
Damn, this Shen Yuan is really not a good person!
He’s clearly so rich, owns a coffee shop, and has such a beautiful woman, yet he said he was doing a part-time job?
What kind of part-time job!
This was clearly to show us up!
Yuping was also ridiculous. She actually wanted to mock others, and now they looked like clowns.
It was really hilarious!
“Shen Yuan, are they your classmates?”
Liu Menglu looked at their backs in confusion and silently walked to Shen Yuan’s side. “Why did they leave?”
When these girls came in just now, she did feel a faint sense of crisis, but after seeing their figures and appearances, she was immediately relieved.
Liu Menglu still believed in Shen Yuan’s taste in women and didn’t think he would be so desperate.
“How would I know? They were just saying they wanted me to treat them to coffee.”
Shen Yuan thought to himself that these two bitches, Tian Yuping and Guan Yongzhen, had no good intentions. Now that he had let them down, he couldn’t be blamed.
However, this girl Cong Xiaoyi was not bad. She was obviously accidentally injured just now.
As Shen Yuan thought this, he looked down at the pair of surging headlights. “Of course, it’s also possible that you two vixens are too beautiful and scared them away.”
“It’s true that we’re beautiful, but can you not stare at them when you say that?”
Liu Menglu said with some helplessness.
“…”
“Alright, Shen Yuan, it’s done~”
Chen Na came out from the counter with a cup of coffee and handed it to Shen Yuan with a smile. “I don’t know what sweetness you like, so I made it half-sugar. Is that okay?”
Shen Yuan took the coffee and smiled faintly. “As long as you made it, it’s full sugar.”
“…”
Chen Na’s pretty face instantly flushed, and she quickly changed the subject. “What about your classmates? Why did they leave?”
Shen Yuan shook his head. “Don’t worry about them.”
As for Liu Menglu, she couldn’t help but roll her eyes. What era was this? Did people still say such cheesy pickup lines?
But after thinking about it, Liu Menglu actually found it a bit sweet. Could it be because it came from Shen Yuan’s mouth?
When a rich person said it, it was a pickup line, but when a poor loser said it, it was cheesy…
Uh… that seems to make some sense…
The words were rough, but the logic was not…
While drinking coffee, Liu Menglu asked, “Shen Yuan, let me ask you, how tall are you and how much do you weigh? I’ll help you calculate your BMI.”
Shen Yuan thought for a moment. “182, 72kg, but I’ve probably lost 1-2kg recently.”
Liu Menglu was a little puzzled. “Huh? Why have you lost weight recently?”
Shen Yuan glanced at Chen Na next to him. “High consumption.”
Chen Na immediately lowered her head in embarrassment. This bad person, how could he say these things in front of her best friend?
Liu Menglu looked at the two of them, and after understanding in a second, she clicked her tongue in amazement. “No wonder, no wonder…”
She took out her phone and calculated. “Your body fat is a bit low. Your BMI is only 21. Normal is 22-23. You need to bulk up, at least gain 7-10kg.”
“To put it bluntly, you’re just trying to persuade me to get a membership at your gym.”
Shen Yuan said helplessly, while also secretly complaining to himself. This Liu Menglu was too direct. Couldn’t these things be discussed privately? She had to do it in front of Nana.
Liu Menglu raised her delicate face. “Hmph, so are you getting one or not? I’m trying to meet my sales target at the end of the month!”
“I’ll think about it.”
Shen Yuan did not agree directly.
“You still have to think about it? Alright, then I’ll wait for your good news.”
Liu Menglu was not discouraged. She looked at the time on her phone and suddenly remembered that she had a private training session at five o’clock. “Oh my, it’s almost four o’clock. I have to go back~”
“Nana, I’m going back now. Let’s meet again next time.”
Liu Menglu waved goodbye to Chen Na, then threw a flirtatious glance at Shen Yuan, and then left “MS” with her perky hips swaying.
The corner of Shen Yuan’s mouth twitched. ‘This vixen, I’ll get you sooner or later!’
When Chen Na saw Liu Menglu leave, she also secretly breathed a sigh of relief. This best friend of hers had shown her affection for Shen Yuan both overtly and covertly, but she couldn’t stop her.
“Let’s go, Nana. Let’s go to the second floor for training.”
Shen Yuan pointed to the private room upstairs.
Chen Na was puzzled. “Huh? What training?”
“You’ll know when you get up there.”
Although she didn’t know why, Chen Na still followed him upstairs.
Shen Yuan pushed open the door of the private room. This private room was not large, with two sofas, a table in the middle, and a mural on the wall.
Chen Na was even more curious. “Shen Yuan, what kind of training is it?”
“Come here. Your business skills are not very proficient. You need some appropriate training.”
Shen Yuan sat down on the sofa with a half-smile and patted the seat next to him.
“Shen Yuan…”
Chen Na suddenly realized something, and her face flushed beet red. She shook her head gently. “We can’t do it here. Xiao Qiu is still here.”
Shen Yuan had a righteous look on his face. “What are you thinking? This is a training class!”
Chen Na pointed down. “Shen Yuan, stop pretending. Look, it has already betrayed you…”
“Holy shit, why won’t this damn thing listen to me!”
“…”
