Chapter 218: Chapter 0218: Besties (Second Update)_1
“Xinyi told me all about you. I’ve studied your type, you’re the kind of man who’s lost his integrity all over the place, and even a 3000-watt spotlight won’t help you find it. When you think, the first direction is definitely towards skewed morals, am I wrong?” Xiao Fangfang said with contempt.
“Oh, please, you?”
Ye Xiong revealed a trace of disdain at the corner of his mouth and said, “Brother here has plenty of beauties around, which one isn’t stronger than you? Xinyi is purer than you, Sister Hua has more charm than you, Weiwei is more passionate than you. Each of them keeps me company for two days a week, and I rest on Sundays. Isn’t that perfect, when is it your turn?”
Hearing him say this, Xiao Fangfang stood up abruptly, her face flushed with anger.
“You’re saying I’m not as good as them?”
Women, ah, are all vain creatures, super fond of saving face, and what they hate most is being told by a man that they’re not as good as other women.
Especially Xiao Fangfang, a woman who’s arrogant to the bone.
“Then who do you think you’re better than?” Ye Xiong asked indifferently.
“I admit I’m inferior to Xinyi, but Du Yuehua is just a divorced woman, where is she better than me, why am I not as good as her?””She’s richer than you.”
“I’m taller than her, have better skin than her, I’m more educated than her…”
“She’s richer than you.”
“I’m younger than her, sexier than her, and I’m not even married yet.”
“She’s richer than you.”
Ye Xiong, like a voice-activated robot, kept repeating the same words.
Xiao Fangfang was about to explode with anger, “She’s only that rich because she inherited her husband’s property. If she hadn’t married a rich man, would she compare to me? Everything I have today, I fought for with my own hands. My money, I earned bit by bit…”
“But she’s still richer than you.” Ye Xiong didn’t care about so much, he just wanted to provoke her.
This woman, being too proud, if you appease her, it will only make her push you further, thinking she’s as high and mighty as an Empress.
Only by completely suppressing her can you conquer her.
“Even if Du Yuehua is richer than me, what about that female cop?” When it came to Luo Weiwei, Xiao Fangfang’s tone was much stronger, and she said, “Her skin isn’t as white as mine, she’s not rich, not dressed as beautifully as me, she doesn’t even have a car of her own…”
“Her chest is bigger than yours.”
Xiao Fangfang: “…”
She was completely resigned and didn’t want to argue anymore because she knew if she continued, Ye Xiong would keep using those two words ‘bigger chest’ to counter her.
Luo Weiwei having a bigger chest than her was an indisputable fact.
“I can’t be bothered to argue with you. I’m starving after just finishing overtime.” Xiao Fangfang sat down and began to eat.
Ye Xiong felt that her defiance seemed to have subsided quite a bit.
“Eat more.”
Ye Xiong picked up a chicken leg and a chicken wing, placing them in her bowl as he showed concern, “Eating so late, aren’t you worried about harming your stomach?”
“Mind your own business, it’s not like I have anyone who cares.” Xiao Fangfang snorted.
But she didn’t reject the food Ye Xiong had picked for her and started eating.
“There’s no end to earning money, as long as it’s enough to spend. What’s the point in making so much money, in the end, you don’t even know which bastard will benefit from it?” Ye Xiong advised.
“You think I’m as lucky as you, Xinyi, or Du Yuehua. Not from a rich family, then from a rich husband. I’m on my own, without striving how will I get a car, a house, would friends and family respect me?” Xiao Fangfang replied.
“With your conditions, marrying a tall, rich, and handsome man would be easy!”
“Give it a rest, I don’t want to rely on you stinking men, not a single good one among you.”
From their simple conversation, Ye Xiong found that Xiao Fangfang was quite strong-willed.
Perhaps it was the environment in which she grew up that made her more possessive of money than other women and more concerned about what others thought.
After eating a bowl of rice and filling her stomach a bit, Xiao Fangfang picked up the beer on the table, poured herself a big glass, and got ready to drink.
Ye Xiong snatched her beer away and said, “Drunk driving is no trivial matter; getting caught would be troublesome.”
Looking at him, Xiao Fangfang suddenly flashed a pair of seductive eyes and said, “Why don’t you drive me home, then?”
Drive her home?
Wouldn’t that be…
Ye Xiong’s eyes lit up but he quickly shook his head and said, “Forget it, I still need to go back and play the vegetable after dinner!”
He was already overwhelmed with Yang Xinyi, Du Yuehua, and Luo Weiwei; if he slept with Yang Xinyi’s close friend Xiao Fangfang as well, what would happen if she found out? Wouldn’t that be the end of him?
It’s very likely that the years of close friendship between Yang Xinyi and Xiao Fangfang would also shatter.
It was fine to fantasize, but as for action, he still didn’t dare.
“Tsk, all desires and no guts!” Xiao Fangfang scoffed.
Ye Xiong took the beer away from in front of her, not allowing her to touch it.
He had no idea that this simple gesture slightly moved Xiao Fangfang.
How many men wish women would drink more, creating an opportunity for them to take advantage?
But not him; he’d rather drink himself than let her.
No wonder Yang Xinyi, Du Yuehua, and Luo Weiwei, these exceptional women, all fell for him, loving him to death and back. It seems there was a reason.
This guy, besides having no principle, indeed had considerable personal charm.
They chatted leisurely while eating, and soon they were full.
“Go back and call Xinyi to report in; I need to think about how to explain this to Xinyi tomorrow,” Ye Xiong said, standing up.
“Wait a minute,” Xiao Fangfang called out to him.
“Anything else?”
After hesitating for a long while, Xiao Fangfang finally made up her mind and said, “Considering you didn’t harbor any ill intentions towards me tonight, I’ll keep this secret for you. Just this once, and it’s not going to be a precedent.”
“What a good person!”
Ye Xiong was so excited he couldn’t help but open his arms, wanting to hug her in gratitude.
Just as he was about to embrace her, two flashes of cold light shone in Xiao Fangfang’s eyes as she gritted her teeth and said, “Try hugging me.”
“Got too excited, haha, thank you, classmate Fangfang,” Ye Xiong said before turning and walking away.
Walking a good distance away, he suddenly remembered something, turned back and said, “Oh right, I forgot to pay the bill. Could you settle it, by the way?”
Xiao Fangfang’s face darkened.
After all this time, she hadn’t only agreed to keep his secret, but she was also going to treat this guy to dinner.
This was not the direction she had imagined the plot would take!
“I’ve been tricked by you again.” Xiao Fangfang stamped her foot and said resentfully.
After dinner, Ye Xiong patted his belly and went straight back to the hospital ward.
It was too easy, getting her persuaded like this.
Originally, Ye Xiong wanted to continue playing the vegetable for a few more days, but now that he had been discovered, he couldn’t keep it up, so he planned to make a miraculous recovery during the doctor’s rounds tomorrow morning, startling everyone.
Back in the ward, lying on the bed, Ye Xiong dialed Phoenix’s number.
“Eating supper?” asked Phoenix.
After coming to his senses, Ye Xiong first called Phoenix because he needed Phoenix to look into some matters.
“Just finished,” he replied.
In the midst of casual talk, Ye Xiong’s voice suddenly turned cold as he asked, “How’s the investigation going?”
