Chapter 316: Chapter 246: Sense of Crisis
Liu Jiefan frowned the moment he saw Liu Wentian arrive.
Very few people knew about Sun Xiaoran sending a love letter to Liu Wentian, including him, but it was also clear that Liu Wentian and Sun Xiaoran had had “a time,” and their relationship was quite unusual.
Sun Xiaoran had always kept her distance from other men, except for Liu Wentian!
This guy hated studying, just useless mud that couldn’t be propped up, yet Sun Xiaoran always took the initiative to tutor him. If he missed class, she would make an extra set of notes and leave them on his desk!
Back then, he was incredibly jealous!
Fortunately, for some reason, the two seemed to have fallen out later and stopped speaking.
Now, Liu Wentian’s arrival gave him a sense of crisis.
However, seeing that Liu Wentian was dressed plainly and looked somewhat poor, he couldn’t help but smirk coldly.
This guy is just a rural loser who came to Guangyang City, thinking he could compete with me for women?? What a joke!
When Liu Wentian arrived, quite a few people greeted him.
Liu Wentian didn’t have many friends at the time, but he was righteous and always stood up for classmates who were bullied, so his relationship with these classmates wasn’t bad.
Moreover, meeting an old acquaintance in a foreign place generally made everyone a bit happy.
However, one person was glaring fiercely at him, and that was Sun Xiaoran’s close friend, Wang Yifang.
Liu Wentian awkwardly touched his nose. He had rejected Sun Xiaoran back then, and Wang Yifang knew it. It seemed that the love letter was even stuffed under his own bag by her, and since he had rejected Sun Xiaoran, whenever this woman saw him, she would glare at him as if he were some unforgivable villain.
“Zhiqiang, Liu Wentian is coming tonight, why didn’t you tell me earlier? Hmph! If I had known he was coming, I wouldn’t have come, and Xiaoran wouldn’t have either!” Wang Yifang snorted coldly.
Wang Zhiqiang laughed and said, “I’m telling you, Wang the beauty, isn’t it unnecessary to target Liu Wentian like that? Moreover, I didn’t even know that Liu Wentian was in Guangyang City myself. I had a bit too much to drink earlier, went to the restroom, and just happened to see him about to get on the elevator, so I dragged him over here.”
Everyone was stunned, not expecting such a coincidence.
Then, they looked at Liu Wentian doubtfully; his outfit didn’t seem like one belonging to someone who could afford to stay here!
As far as they knew, the cheapest suite at the Venus Grand Hotel cost 3000 per night, almost as much as many people’s monthly salary!
Liu Wentian hadn’t even been to college, and they also knew that his family was of modest means and he was from a rural area; with no education or background, he was destined to be low-income, so how could he possibly stay in a place like this?
Not to mention Liu Wentian, even they couldn’t afford to stay here!
They had only come here to this KTV because Liu Jiefan had paid; they knew the price of a booth for 999 per hour, which was frighteningly high.
Suddenly, Liu Jiefan sneered and pointing at the takeaway bag in Liu Wentian’s hand, said sarcastically, “Liu Wentian, you’re not here to deliver takeaway, are you?”@@novelbin@@
Everyone was puzzled, then looked at the takeaway in Liu Wentian’s hand, their expressions turning somewhat strange as a hint of disdain flashed in their eyes.
Although they all came from the same small place and weren’t doing very well themselves, they still wouldn’t need to do delivery work overseas!
Liu Wentian shrugged and smiled, saying, “Indeed, I came to deliver takeaway. There’s a beauty who likes this food, so I specifically brought it for her.”
“Ha? You came here to deliver food to a beauty? You mean you know a beauty who lives here? Liu Wentian, you really have a sense of humor! Everyone living here is rich, how could you possibly know them, and a beauty at that! Moreover, what beauty would like this kind of dirty food these days? Beauties only show up in high-end restaurants, they wouldn’t eat this kind of stuff! You’re doing delivery work, just say it straight. No one will look down on you. You didn’t even go to college, so it’s understandable if you can’t find a good job. Why make up such brainless lies?” Yu Jiefan said in a mocking tone, a look of seeing through Liu Wentian’s lies on his face.
The rest of the group also wore expressions that seemed to want to laugh but were too embarrassed to do so.
Liu Wentian possibly knowing a beautiful woman? Let alone one who lives in a 5-star hotel and likes to eat spicy hot pot? Impossible!
This guy, never went to college, now he doesn’t even bother to think before he lies; it’s actually kind of funny!
Upon seeing Jiefan’s smug face, Wang Zhiqiang frowned and angrily said, “Jiefan, whether Liu Wentian delivers spicy hot pot or not is none of your business! I’m warning you, stop seeking problems with him!”
He was a straightforward man, already irritated by Jiefan’s insincere antics, and now that the latter insulted his friend, he was ready to blow up.
Jiefan’s face turned cold, “Wang Zhiqiang, what’s with your attitude? Who’s looking for trouble with him? This kind of person, if he weren’t a high school classmate, I wouldn’t even glance at him! You think I have so much free time to spend on him? Hah, you’re overestimating him!”
“Enough, so what if Liu Wentian delivers spicy hot pot? He’s earning his own living; there’s nothing shameful about that! What right do you have to insult him?”
Sun Xiaoran was initially curious about what Liu Wentian was doing now, and to find out he was delivering spicy hot pot somehow stung her heart. Seeing Jiefan’s cold comments made her burst with anger.
Everyone was stunned.
Wang Zhiqiang was Liu Wentian’s close buddy, so it made sense for him to stand up for Liu Wentian, but Sun Xiaoran’s outburst did surprise them.
In high school, Sun Xiaoran and Liu Wentian seemed very close for some time, and their relationship appeared a bit ambiguous. Now it looked as though Sun Xiaoran still harbored feelings for Liu Wentian!
Their faces looked odd as they glanced toward Jiefan.
Jiefan was pursuing Sun Xiaoran, and everyone knew it. Now it seemed that his efforts were doomed to fail; she completely ignored him and even seemed to fancy Liu Wentian, the spicy hot pot delivery guy!
Liu Wentian was somewhat speechless; his task was indeed about delivering to beautiful women, but these people stubbornly thought he was lying and assumed it was his real job.
Jiefan’s face grew incredibly somber, never expecting Sun Xiaoran to defend Liu Wentian. He cursed inwardly but forced a smile and said,
“Xiaoran, sorry about that, I did go too far just now.”
Turning his head toward Liu Wentian, he smilingly said, “Liu Wentian, I hope you won’t take it to heart.”
Liu Wentian shook his head with a faint smile and said, “No worries, if a dog barks at me a few times, it’s not like I should bark back.”
Jiefan’s face stiffened, while the others nearly laughed out loud. Damn, this guy really knew how to dish it out.
Wang Zhiqiang secretly gave Liu Wentian a thumbs up; Sun Xiaoran cast him a coquettish glance. The guy was still the same as before, never at a loss.
The tension was quite palpable. Wang Yifang’s eyes darted around before suddenly asking, “By the way, Liu Wentian, do you have a girlfriend yet?”
As soon as she spoke, Sun Xiaoran’s entire focus sharpened, her hands clenched, palms sweating. She didn’t even understand why she was so agitated.
Seeing her best friend’s face stiffen, Wang Yifang sighed.
This beautiful girl could have any rich second-generation suitor she wanted, and yet she insisted on struggling by herself, getting so tired, and it seemed she still harbored old feelings for the guy, suffering needlessly!
Destined to be pampered, yet she dreamed of a tough life with a loser!
Thinking this, she felt somewhat sorry for her friend but also helpless; she was asking this question for Sun Xiaoran’s sake.
Still furious, she blurted out, “I’m guessing you don’t have one, right? Who would fancy a guy who delivers spicy hot pot?”
