Chapter 317: Chapter 247: Sorry
Everyone nodded upon hearing this. These days, finding a girlfriend in the city is not easy; you need to have a car, a house, a local household registration. Some mothers-in-law even require the man’s parents to be deceased. Liu Wentian—an errand runner for a ma la tang shop—where could he possibly find a girlfriend? Even if he really found one, she would definitely be a blemish of nature!!
Yu Jiefan couldn’t help but gloat a bit. He looked at Sun Xiaoran, then smirked and said, “Heh, it’s not that I look down on Liu Wentian’s job, but honestly, with his qualifications, finding a girlfriend is really not easy!! A woman with better conditions would definitely not give him a second look!!”
“Uh… I have a girlfriend,” said Liu Wentian before silently adding in his mind, and not just one…
Upon hearing this, Yu Jiefan couldn’t help but burst into laughter. In a teasing tone, he said, “Haha!! I’m really kind of curious now. You managed to get a girlfriend? I bet she must be a bit of a national embarrassment in looks, right?? A factory girl from out of town? Has she even finished middle school?? Sorry, I speak my mind, so don’t take it personally!! Haha!!”
A teasing smile on his face, Yu Jiefan continued poking fun, while the others, though they said nothing, shared the same opinion.
In their eyes, Liu Wentian didn’t go to college, came from a poor family, and now even stooped to delivering ma la tang; finding a girlfriend was already quite the feat, let alone one with good looks.
However, they would not go as far as Yu Jiefan in openly mocking him. Among them, many were single themselves. Even if Liu Wentian’s girlfriend was probably ugly, at least he had one!!
Sun Xiaoran’s face turned a shade of purple for a moment, and then, hearing Yu Jiefan’s words, she frowned slightly while feeling relieved inside.
She too believed that Liu Wentian couldn’t possibly find an attractive girlfriend—at least, surely not better looking than herself. She wasn’t arrogant, but she was very confident about her looks, surrounded by many men usually!!
With that in mind, it should be quite easy to steal him away, right??
The thought crossed Sun Xiaoran’s mind. A sly smile played at the corner of her mouth, and the next instant, her cheeks reddened. What am I even thinking!!
With a frown, she turned to Yu Jiefan and said, “Yu Shao, regardless, you shouldn’t laugh at someone’s girlfriend. Just because a woman isn’t that good-looking, does it make her a laughingstock??”
Yu Jiefan’s face stiffened, and he gave an awkward smile, “Xiaoran, what are you talking about? How could I be so vulgar? It was just a joke, no offense!!”
When Wang Yifang heard Liu Wentian’s response, she was slightly surprised. She looked at Sun Xiaoran, saw her defending Liu Wentian immediately, and noticed her casting glances at Liu Wentian. Wang Yifang felt a bout of helplessness inside.
Sun Xiaoran may seem delicate, but she’s quite stubborn. Once her mind is made up, no one can change it. This, Wang Yifang knew.
“Liu Wentian, don’t mind that moron. A girlfriend, it doesn’t matter if she’s not that pretty, as long as she has a good heart,” said Wang Zhiqiang, who was also a bit annoyed with Yu Jiefan’s comment, too lazy to argue further and then sat down with Liu Wentian on the couch.
Liu Wentian chuckled and didn’t bother explaining. Even if he did explain, no one would believe him.
Seeing Liu Wentian’s lack of retaliation, Yu Jiefan curled his lips upward and, looking towards Sun Xiaoran with a smile, said,
“Heh, Xiaoran, since you plan to stay a while, why don’t you sit down? I have a lot to talk to you about. There’s a new project in my company that I think you would be interested in.”
Sun Xiaoran glanced at him and then proceeded to walk over and sit next to Liu Wentian and Wang Zhiqiang.
Yu Jiefan’s face stiffened.
The others smirked at Yu Jiefan’s expression, which only served to infuriate him. What the hell is wrong with this woman, he wondered, neglecting such a tall, rich, and handsome guy as me and yet paying attention to a ma la tang delivery guy!!
With irritation bubbling within, he sat down on his own.
Determined, he thought: Once I get her, I’ll make sure she pays!!
Liu Wentian was slightly surprised as Sun Xiaoran sat down next to him. Then he heard her whisper,
“Liu Wentian, how about I find you a job? Our company is also hiring people recently.”
Sun Xiaoran’s eyes were sincere. Liu Wentian felt a warmth in his heart and shook his head with a smile, “No need, I’m quite happy with my current job, and the income isn’t bad either.”@@novelbin@@
Sun Xiaoran nodded and didn’t press further.
In her view, Liu Wentian was just being too proud to accept her help, so pretending to be strong. In that case, she would find an opportunity to help him secretly later on.
She turned to Wang Zhiqiang with a smile and said, “Zhiqiang, your wedding must be coming up soon, right??”
Hearing this, Liu Wentian looked at Wang Zhiqiang in surprise and teased, “Little chap, not bad, getting married already??”
Wang Zhiqiang blushed and nodded, “It’s set for the next couple of weeks, in the middle of preparations. I must tell you, no matter what, you have to come to my wedding, understand??”
“Don’t worry, brother, would I miss it?” Liu Wentian replied with a laugh.
“Liu Wentian, do you really have a girlfriend now?” Sun Xiaoran suddenly whispered, her small hand gripping the hem of her clothing tightly as she spoke.
Liu Wentian laughed and said, “Yeah, I really do. It’s not like I can lie about something like that.”
“Is she pretty?” asked Sun Xiaoran.
“Pretty.”
Liu Wentian nodded. Whether it was Li Chuyue, Fan Xiaoyu, or Qin Keqing, whom he had been intimate with, they were all top-level beauties.
Sun Xiaoran slightly furrowed her brows, “How pretty?”
Liu Wentian, a bit puzzled by her persistent questioning, touched his nose and smiled, saying, “Very, very pretty!”
The private room was only so big, and even though Wang Yifang was still singing, everyone could hear each other’s conversations. At this moment, upon hearing Liu Wentian claim his girlfriend was very, very pretty, everyone tried to suppress their laughter!
Damn, wasn’t he overdoing it a bit? Saying he had a girlfriend was enough, but claiming she was extremely pretty!
With your looks, you sure have some nerve!
Wang Yifang stopped singing, turned her head towards Liu Wentian, and, speaking directly into the microphone, said loudly, “Liu Wentian, will you die if you don’t show off? No one looks down on you just because you’re not doing well! Feigning dignity only to suffer, you say you have a girlfriend, and not just any girlfriend, but a very, very pretty one?? Everyone here has a brain; who would believe you? Do you think that there are other beauties in the world like some people, all simple-minded?!”
As she spoke her last sentence, she cast a displeased glance at Sun Xiaoran, obviously referring to her close friend.
Listening to Wang Yifang’s words, everyone nodded silently, thinking that Liu Wentian’s claims were simply ridiculous!
Yu Jiefan looked on with a cold sneer, about to make a sarcastic remark, when Liu Wentian’s phone rang!!
Liu Wentian glanced at it; it was a call from Sheng Qianmei. Upon answering, he heard Sheng Qianmei’s cool yet slightly embarrassed voice.
“Liu Wentian, have you arrived at the hotel?”
“I’m here, I just happened to run into a few old classmates and came to chat for a bit. I’ll be up soon, just wait a moment, the mala tang will be there shortly,” Liu Wentian responded with a smile.
Upon hearing this, everyone at the scene was taken aback.
Heading upstairs, mala tang… could it be that there was actually a beauty upstairs waiting for him to deliver mala tang to her?
Yu Jiefan seemed to realize something, sizing up Liu Wentian’s face before revealing a mocking look and suddenly speaking out,
“Hey! Liu Wentian, it seems you really do have a friend here. Why don’t you ask her to come down and greet everyone? Let us old classmates see what your sugar mommy looks like?”
Sugar mommy?
What does he mean?
Everyone was stunned for a moment, then they seemed to grasp something, sizing up Liu Wentian’s rugged, chiseled face, and their expressions turned strange.
At that moment, they understood Yu Jiefan’s implication; the term “kept man” came to mind!
Bizarrely enough, given Liu Wentian’s external appearance, it was indeed possible that he might have found a wealthy woman to provide for him!
Although Liu Wentian was not exceedingly handsome, he had a tall and straight figure, a decent face, and an indescribable weathered quality that gave him an imperious aura. It wouldn’t be surprising if someone was willing to keep him!
But they certainly didn’t believe that Liu Wentian actually knew a beauty living in such a place!
The only explanation was that he was meeting with a wealthy mistress, and delivering mala tang was likely just a cover!
It must be said that, deep down, these people looked down on Liu Wentian, which is why they harbored such suspicions!
For a while, their gazes at Liu Wentian were filled with contempt and disdain.
Liu Wentian frowned slightly, his eyes flashing coldly as he looked at Yu Jiefan.
Just then, the voice of Sheng Qianmei on the other end of the phone hesitated and said, “Liu Wentian, was that your friend talking just now? I heard something about greeting someone, are you asking me to go over? Maybe… Can I come down?”
