596 Not Much Money, Just Over 4 Million

“Why didn’t you buy it?”

“It’s too expensive. A glass of fruit juice costs 12 yuan, but it’s not that nutritious. It’s just mixed with concentrated fruit juice. It’s such a scam,” Ji Qingyan complained. “Let’s go buy mineral water to drink.”

“Do you have to be so serious?”

“The situation is unique. We have to be calculative about every single detail.”

!!
“I spent too much money in the past. I have to learn to be more careful.”

“Alright, I’ll do whatever you say.”

“Hehe, that’s more like it.”

“I’ve already thought it through. If we come out again in the future, we’ll bring our own fruits. It’s both economical and affordable. This way, we can save. We have to start with all the details.”

“Lower your voice. Can’t you see that everyone on the street is looking at me?” Lin Yi said.

“If you keep doing this, I’m going to drown in their spit.”

“Why? This is between the two of us. It’s not like we spent their money.”

“I brought such a beautiful little fairy to the night market. In the end, I couldn’t even afford a glass of juice. They have a right to be furious. Why would such a beautiful little fairy be with a poor person?”

Ji Qingyan could not help but laugh.

Lin Yi calling her “little fairy” made her happy.

“It’s fine, it’s fine. No matter how rich others are, I won’t care about them.”

“Hey, even though you say it’s just empty talk, I’m still worried.”

“Then what do I have to do to make you feel at ease?”

“Give birth to my child. When you come out in the future, carry the child out. No one will have any thoughts about you then.”

“It’s fine if you want to have children, but we’ll talk about it after we get married. Don’t think about it now.”

Lin Yi was helpless. It wasn’t a good thing for a woman to be too smart. He had already flirted with her to this extent, but she wasn’t falling for it.

This was too difficult.

“Let’s go. Don’t just stand there.”

“They sell takoyaki over there. Let’s buy one. I’ve wanted to eat it for a long time.”

“Buy it!”

“I want that squid rice cake too.”

“Buy it!”

“They sell scallion pancakes over there. I want to eat them too.”

“Buy it!”

“Just buy one. We’ll split it equally.”

“Will that really be enough to fill you up? Let’s buy one each.”

“Two costs 14 yuan. Just buy one.”

“Buy as many as you want.”

Lin Yi bought the scallion pancakes and shared half with Ji Qingyan as they walked.

“How much money do we have left?” she asked.

“Fifty-five yuan.”

“We seem to have eaten a lot. Let’s continue shopping.”

From the beginning to the end, the two of them ate a lot of food.

Gyoza, rice roll noodles, beef skewers, pancakes, and even cold noodles from the northeast. They tried snacks from almost every corner of the country.

The reason why she was so frugal was that she had to buy a portion of every item.

Moreover, if there was a small portion available, she would never buy a large portion. If he could buy a low-quality one, she would choose that over any premium options.

The way the two of them spent their money almost made the stall owner cry.

Couldn’t he be more generous with such a beautiful girl?

‘Even a forty-year-old man like me can’t stand it!

‘What a f*cking waste!’

“Lin Yi, let’s quickly go over. There’s an earring seller over there.”

After walking out of the snack street, the two of them arrived at the second half of the street.

This place sold daily necessities, but most of them were meant for girls.

This was because girls were the main customer base these days, while a man’s purchasing power was even lower than a dog’s.

“Lin Yi, look at this. Will it look good on me?”

She picked up a pair of silver earrings and posed with them.

There was a picture of a little fox on it with two imitation plastic diamonds that made up the little fox’s eyes. The design was very unique.

Questions like this were basically free marks.

Even if he answered that it was good, he would still get a good score.

However, if he answered in another way, he would get full marks.

“The design of the earrings is a little unique. I feel that it looks good on you, but it’d be difficult for ordinary people to wear them.”

In other words, no one else was worthy of this pair of earrings.

“Really?”

Ji Qingyan smiled again. If they were at home, she might have hugged Lin Yi and kissed him.

However, she was a little embarrassed to do so around so many people at the night market.

“Everyone can see that.” Lin Yi said.

“Didn’t you see that it’s still on display here and hasn’t been sold? It’s because someone else tried it and felt that they didn’t deserve this necklace, so they saved it and waited for you to buy it.”

“Hehe…”

Her smile blossomed like a flower, and her heart was filled with joy.

“Boss, how much are these earrings?”

“I usually sell it for 30 yuan. I’ll give you a 2 yuan discount and sell it to you for 28 yuan.”

“Thank you, Boss.”

Ji Qingyan approached Lin Yi. “How much money do we have left?”

Lin Yi took out all the change. “There’s still six yuan left.”

“Um…”

Ji Qingyan was a little embarrassed. No matter how hard she tried to convince him, he would never sell her earrings for 6 yuan.

The boss was also dumbfounded.

How could he not be able to afford earrings that cost 28 yuan?

Judging from their attire, they did not look like poor people.

A phone cost a few thousand.

“Boss, I’m sorry. We won’t be buying it anymore.”

Embarrassed, Ji Qingyan put the earrings back. She did not want to shop with Lin Yi anymore.

Although the things in the night market were very cheap, he only had six yuan in his pocket. They were no longer able to shop here. Instead, they should go home obediently.

The scene in front of them left the people shopping in the night market nearby in disbelief.

Even if your family background wasn’t good and you weren’t cultured, with your figure and face, it wouldn’t be a problem for you to find a rich boyfriend.

The boys were indignant. All the good cabbages had been stolen by pigs!

‘Why is it that good-looking pigs could steal cabbages but we can’t?!’

“Beauty, don’t you like this pair of earrings? I’ll give them to you. It doesn’t cost much.”

Just as the two of them turned to leave, a boy beside them said.

The boy who spoke was quite tall, almost comparable to Lin Yi.

He was wearing army green jeans and a pair of 4th generation Kobe pants. There was also a silver necklace around his neck. He was dressed like a hipster.

“No, thank you.”

The tall boy didn’t say anything. He scanned the QR code and paid 28 yuan.

He then handed her the little fox earring that she had taken a fancy to.

“Beauty, your boyfriend can’t afford it, so I’ll give it to you. I hope you can accept it.”

Lin Yi was angry when he heard this. Were boys so bold these days?

Her boyfriend was still here, yet he dared to flirt so openly?

A large group of people surrounded them, watching the show.

“I saw them just now when I was buying pancakes. Although this boy is very handsome, he seems to be quite poor. He bought his girlfriend pancakes but can’t even bear to add any ham sausages.”

“God is fair. He gave him such good looks but closed the door to wealth.”

“Sigh, if he had worked hard and found a job, he wouldn’t have ended up like this!”

“I feel that most good-looking boys are not ambitious. They think that they’re handsome and don’t want to do anything. However, there are girls who fall for this. They would rather not eat or drink than have an unattractive boyfriend. I really don’t know what they’re thinking.”

“What a pity. If this little brother had worked harder and had a more stable job, he wouldn’t be like this now.”

“I also think he’s good-looking, but his economic foundation determines his future. He can’t even afford earrings that cost 20 yuan. This won’t do!”

“Sigh, what a pity. Such a handsome little brother, I really don’t want to see him get embarassed.”

The girls present were feeling regretful, but most of the boys were gloating.

“F*ck, it’s one thing for rich people to pick up girls, but he only has six yuan in his pocket. His girlfriend will be snatched away sooner or later.”

“Someone is making a move now. I still have some impression of that boy. I think his name is Hu Haiyang. He’s from Zhonghai Tech. His family seems to be quite rich. When he was in university, his family bought him a BMW 5 Series. He often goes to Zhonghai Drama Academy to ask girls out for dinner.”

“Girls nowadays are very realistic. They like to get close to rich boys. Although this beauty looks quite innocent, I don’t think she can resist the temptation of money.”

“That’s too true. Even for them to eat at a night market requires careful planning. Which girl can endure such a life? In the future, if there’s a rich person who sends her some signals and hints, they probably won’t be far from breaking up.”

“I hate people who think that they can pick up girls just because they’re handsome. Now, someone is finally teaching them a lesson.”

She ran her fingers through her hair. “I’m sorry, but I can’t take your things.”

“It’s okay. It’s just an earring. It’s not even as valuable as my box of cigarettes.” Hu Haiyang said.

“Besides, I don’t have any other intentions. I just saw that you liked this pair of earrings very much, and your boyfriend can’t afford it. I just wanted to give it to you.”

“Even so, I can’t take it.”

“Actually, he can afford it. It’s just that our budget today is limited and we don’t want to spend so much.”

“Do you need a budget to buy a necklace that costs 20 yuan? It’s not like it’s worth thousands of yuan.” Hu Haiyang said.

“If he really has that kind of ability, why would he need to plan to visit a night market?”

“That’s our private business. Thanks for the offer.”

Ji Qingyan did not want to reply. She grabbed Lin Yi’s arm and prepared to leave.

“Are you sure you want to leave just like that? Don’t you want that pair of earrings anymore?”

“I wanted it, but someone else already bought it.” Ji Qingyan pursed her lips and said.

“And we only have 6 bucks left. We can’t buy any more.”

“Alright, I won’t buy it then.”

Lin Yi had made up his mind. When he returned, he would look for a jeweler and get them to make an identical pair for Ji Qingyan. No matter what, he had to embed real diamonds as well to make it fit for her.

“Hey, man.”

Hu Haiyang called out from behind.

“What do you want?” Lin Yi asked.

“If you want to buy it, I can sell this pair of earrings to you. The original price is 28 yuan. Can you afford it?”

“Haha…”

Hearing this, everyone laughed.

This person was too good at playing.

Forget 28 yuan, even if he sold it for 7 yuan, this guy still couldn’t afford it!

If he could really afford it, he would have bought it for his girlfriend just now. This whole thing wouldn’t have happened.

“Forget it. We were just playing around just now. These 20-yuan earrings are not fit for my girlfriend. When I go back, I’ll get her a set of platinum diamond earrings, so I don’t want yours.”

“Huh? Platinum diamond earrings?”

Hearing this, everyone present was stunned.

Did he start spouting nonsense because he was agitated?

He only had 6 yuan left in his pocket, and he still wanted to make platinum diamond earrings for his girlfriend?

Even if you’re bragging, there had to be limits!

Hu Haiyang couldn’t help but laugh.

“Brother, you don’t have to pretend to be rich. I don’t have any other intentions. I just don’t want to embarrass you. Why did you have to do this? You’re embarrassing your girlfriend.”

“How did I embarrass her? It’s just a set of platinum diamond earrings. It doesn’t cost much. I don’t have to brag.”

Hu Haiyang shrugged. “But the reality is that you can’t even afford a set of earrings that costs 28 yuan. You still have to calculate carefully when shopping in a street market. Wouldn’t buying platinum diamond earrings cost you everything you had?”

Lin Yi wanted to say something, but Ji Qingyan was unhappy.

“I hope you won’t say anything else. My boyfriend is richer than you. We just don’t want to buy it. It’s not that we can’t afford it!”

“Beauty, don’t be agitated. I didn’t mean to humiliate him,” Hu Haiyang said apologetically, acting normal.

As an expert at flirting, he knew very well that it was not easy to woo such a beautiful woman.

He had to take it step by step and slowly take her down.

Therefore, his priority now was to leave a good impression on her.

It would be perfect if he could gain the chance to give her his contact information.

Therefore, the most important thing now was to stabilize her emotions.

After all, there were so many people around. It was impossible that she would do anything out of line at this point.

He had to take it slow.

“Don’t say anything else. We’re leaving,” said Ji Qingyan.

“I won’t stop you from leaving, but I feel that as a girl, you should urge your boyfriend to work hard to earn money and not lie for his sake. After all, this isn’t right.”

“I just said that my boyfriend is rich. I hope you don’t misunderstand.”

The onlookers could not help but laugh. At the same time, they revealed envious expressions.

What a treasure-like girl.

Her boyfriend was already like this, yet she was still trying her best to protect his image.

She was simply too perfect.

‘If I could have such a girlfriend, I would rather be single for ten lifetimes.’

“Beauty, it’s understandable that you rejected my gift, but it’s meaningless for you to act like this.”

“Why won’t you let it rest?” Ji Qingyan’s expression changed slightly. She was already very unhappy.

Lin Yi was the person she treasured the most. He was the one person who held a place in her heart and no one could say anything to change that.

“I just don’t understand. He can’t even afford a pair of earrings that cost 20 yuan. Why do you still say that he’s rich? No one present is a fool. They can tell what’s going on. It’s meaningless to say this.”

Ji Qingyan turned to look at Lin Yi. “Is there money in your WeChat account?”

“Yes, yes, but not much…”

“How much is not much?”

“Just over four million.”
