I'm A Baller - Chapter 136
Chapter 136: Pot Falling from the Sky
Wang Yan didn’t like Guo Zihao.
In essence, this guy was just a spoiled child who liked to pretend and show off. He wasn’t a bad guy, but the impression he gave people after the first contact was really bad. He really couldn’t be a friend.
However, in the end, they were not enemies. After all, Guo was the one who had suffered in their last encounter. Today, now that he came up to welcome Wang Yan with a smile, Wang Yan had no reason to ignore him.
Thus, Wang Yan laughed loudly and said calmly, “Hello, Brother Guo.”
He turned away, not giving Guo Zihao the chance to continue.
Guo Zihao’s greeting drew people’s attention to Wang Yan.
The three girls teased him one by one.
“Hello, Tycoon. Thank you for the red packet.”
“Oh, couple T-shirts? We were away during the vacation and it seems we’ve missed a lot…”
“Li, quickly introduce your husband to us!”
Liu Li smiled and introduced them to Wang Yan one by one.
Among the three girls, one was quite ugly with face value of about 60 points, and her name was Chu Hong. It was a very masculine name, but she gave Wang Yan a more comfortable feeling, and her smile was especially amiable.
The most beautiful one was He Luoluo. Her looks could be up to 90 points, but her face and makeup made her look like a internet celebrity. She looked spoilt.
The last one was called Chen Shengge. Perhaps her parents had a grudge
against her in their previous life, so they came up with such a name for her.
“Yan Sauce, please call me Mina.”
Wang Yan was exasperated by this nickname, and he quickly corrected them, “Mina Sang, please call me soy sauce!”
Some of them laughed immediately, amused by Wang Yan’s serious expression.
“Hahahaha!”
“Little Liu Li, your boyfriend is so funny!”
He Luoluo giggled, and Liu Li retorted angrily, “Are you envious of me? But no matter how much you like him, nothing will come out if it anyway.”
Eh?
What was going on?
Wang Yan was surprised.
After knowing Liu Li for so long, this was the first time he saw her speak sarcastically to someone. It was strange.
He Luoluo replied in a sweet voice, “Then I’ll just be envious in my heart, alright?”
She sounded little bitchy, but there wasn’t much anger in her tone.
Liu Li wrinkled her nose and snorted, ignoring her.
Wang Yan couldn’t understand it at all.
Obviously they were not good friends. But they were no enemies either.
Furthermore, the other girls were all smiling and watching the show. No one stepped up to dissuade them.
Could this be a normal relationship between girls?
The Straight Guy Wang couldn’t figure it out, so he simply stopped thinking about it and thought it was a good way to broaden his horizons.
In any case, Liu Li wouldn’t really be bullied. Her popularity was definitely number one in the entire room.
Not long after, Fu Yushi returned and the banquet officially began.
They raised glasses of…emmm, corn juice, and gave a collective toast to the birthday girl.
It was definitely the vivacious Lin Weiwei who lightened the mood. “I wish our birthday girl to always be young and beautiful, proud and coquettish!”
Everyone burst into laughter. Fu Yushi was a little shy, but seeing that everyone was raising their glasses, she could do nothing but drink.
After a while, the three girls who had just returned to school gave Fu Yushi gifts.
A limited-edition Ice Princess doll, a YSL lipstick, and a set of acting skills cds that the gift giver made by herself.
The prices of the gifts were different, but it was obvious that the girls had made much efforts choosing the gifts.
Fu Yushi smiled sweetly when she took the gifts, looking very happy.
The other girls had already given gifts to her in the dormitory. There were only four boys left.
He Luoluo rolled her eyes and asked Wang Yan.
“Young Master Wang, What is your gift?”
Without waiting for Wang Yan to speak, Liu Li asked with a smile, “What does it to do with you?”
Oh, Grandma is so fierce and cute.
Wang Yan found it particularly interesting. He was overjoyed to discover a new side of Liu Li. He secretly used his finger to tickle her under the table.
As for He Luoluo… He didn’t care.
Actually, Liu Li had always had a temper. The last time she tricked Guo Zihao at the KTV by adding four bottles of Aces of Spade to empty Guo Zihao’s pocket in one go.
Wang Yan didn’t know it, so he thought it was new.
He Luoluo wasn’t angry. She suddenly turned her head to call the boy that Wang Yan didn’t know. “Chang Kai, what’s your gift?”
The boy named Chang Kai had been very quiet all this time. Now that he was asked, he smiled slightly.
“You have to ask Shishi. The birthday girl hasn’t seen it yet. How can I tell you and spoil the fun?”
As he spoke, he took out a small box from his backpack and handed it to Fu Yushi with both hands. His overall behavior was refined and gentle. He looked very cultured.
As soon as the blue box with a white ribbon was taken out, a few girls cried out in surprise.
“Wow! Tiffany? Young Master Chang, you’re going all out, huh?”
“Eh? Look at the size of the box. It can’t be a ring, right?”
“Little Princess, open it now! Don’t hide it and enjoy it all by yourself!”
Lin Weiwei pursed her lips and whispered, “Obviously not a ring… It must be a T series bracelet!”
Wang Yan was dumbfounded.
Sis, how could you know so much by looking at a small box?
Tsk, tsk, amazing..
Fu Yushi seemed to know what was inside, so she did not panic. Instead, she thanked him happily.
“Thank you!”
Then, she opened the gift box amidst everyone’s cheers. In the end, she took out a rose-gold bracelet.
Before she saw the bracelet, Fu Yushi was quite happy. However, after she saw the design, her expression suddenly changed. She looked very… strange.
She quickly put the bracelet back and closed the lid. She said apologetically, “Chang Kai, thank you for the gift, but it’s too expensive. I can’t accept it.”
If one looked carefully, one could even see a trace of coldness in her eyes.
Everyone was caught off guard by this unexpected reaction.
Wang Yan whispered to Liu Li, “That’s…”
Liu Li shook her head and gestured to Lin Weiwei with her mouth, indicating for Wang Yan to ask her.
Then, before Wang Yan could speak, Lin Weiwei took the initiative to lean over and whispered, “Tiffany’s True series, 18K rose gold, priced at 40,000 + . It’s a relatively expensive series in Tiffany.”
The tacit understanding between the three of them was very interesting, but no one noticed it.
Chang Kai’s expression immediately sour, and his smile was a little stiff.
“Shishi, it’s just a birthday gift. You don’t have to be so polite with me, right?”
Fu Yushi shook her head. “It’s not a matter of being polite. It’s really not appropriate to accept such an expensive gift.”
“But you should know that this money is really nothing to me. Compared to money, my efforts that I made in this matter is more important. Your wrist is slim and can only wear a small size. I had to go to several stores to find this 14.5 cm bracelet.”
Chang Kai looked affectionate, not a bit embarrassed or subservient. He behaved quite well.
However, Fu Yushi had already made up her mind and appeared to be unusually insistent.
“But this price is very high for me. If it was a basic style of a few thousand yuan, I would be very happy. But you… Chang Kai, don’t sour our friendship with this gift.”
“How can I give a gift that costs only a few thousand yuan? !”
Chang Kai finally lost it and blurted out a rebuttal.
He might have been unintentional and really felt that he’d be embarrassed to send a gift costing a few thousand yuan, but his words made everyone feel a little uncomfortable.
The one who gave out a set of acting skills cds was Chu Hong. Her family was not so well-off as the others, and her gift was very thoughtful and she spent lots of time and energy in it, but it as the least expensive gift. Her pride was hurt a little when she heard Chang Kai’s words.
So she whispered, “You should consider your relationship with the person who receives you gift, right?”
Nawu said to support her, “That’s right! Wang Wang only spent about 4,000 yuan on the gift. It’s not a matter of whether you can afford it or not, okay?”
Chang Kai knew that he had misspoken, so he quickly apologized, “I’m sorry, everyone, I didn’t mean that… Shishi, I promise there won’t be a next time, but now that I’ve bought it, can you do me a favor and accept it? Don’t make me embarrassed, okay?”
Chang Kai’s attitude finally softened, but Fu Yushi furrowed her brows tightly.
Lin Weiwei whispered, “The Little Princess will definitely not accept it. She doesn’t intend to give Chang Kai any chance. This girl still wants to enter the entertainment circle. She won’t fall in love just like this.”
At least she won’t fall in love with Chang Kai… She added in her heart.
Wang Yan nodded. He listened but did not speak. He just sat there and watched.
Fu Yushi finally gave a response. As Lin Weiwei expected, it was still a rejection, and it was… a complete rejection.
“Take it back. I’ve said it before, I’m not in the mood for a relationship right now. Don’t waste your time on me. There are many girls who like you. I don’t want people to say behind my back that I don’t let Chang Kai off my hook. It will be very unpleasant, you know?”
Oh My God!
A showdown…
Wang Yan was shocked, and then he was full of admiration.
The Little Princess was a ruthless person!
Chang Kai was hit hard by these words. His face turned pale, and he couldn’t sit still. It was very awkward.
Lu Yuanyuan suddenly advised, “Chang Kai, don’t waste your time on the Little Princess. To put it bluntly, the Little Princess sets her standards very high. You You’re not good enough for her.”
These words were very straightforward, stinging both parties, but she told the truth.
Chang Kai’s face immediately turned red, and he looked very embarrassed.
Lu Yuanyuan added, “Don’t blame me for being harsh. It’s for your own good, so you won’t hurt others and yourself in the end. You’re not in her league anyway. Why are you trying to force it?”
She had good intentions, but these words were really unpleasant to hear.
Fu Yushi’s face turned long immediately and stared at Lu Yuanyuan with a frosty expression. She asked coldly, “What does a relationship have to do with status? Which league am I? Who is good enough for me?”
When the others saw that these enemies were about to quarrel again, they quickly came up to smooth things over.
Wang Xue, who was sitting beside Lu Yuanyuan, grabbed Lu Yuanyuan’s hand but it didn’t stop the girl from retorting.
Lu Yuanyuan blurted out without thinking, “Who’s good enough for you? Guys like Wang Wang!”
What Lu Yuanyuan wanted to say was that only a guy at Wang Yan’s level or above could catch Fu Yushi’s attention. However, in some people’s ears, it referred specifically to Wang Yan.
Fu Yushi, who had been calm and restrained exploded in an instant.
“Lu Yuanyuan, you’re deliberately trying to stir up trouble on my birthday, right?!”
Lu Yuanyuan didn’t even realize that she had said something wrong and retorted, “How dare you say that I’m wrong?! Who doesn’t know what kind of person you are?!”
Yes, she was right.
Fu Yushi did have high standards for boyfriends. It was really difficult for her to like an ordinary second generation.
However, Lu Yuanyuan’s words sounded so ambiguous!
The entire room instantly fell into an awkward silence.
People subconsciously looked at Wang Yan.
The quiet, well-behaved, and dutiful Fugui had been playing poking game with Miss San Wan under the table, and he was having a lot of fun.
All of a sudden, a big pot fell from the sky and landed firmly on Wang Yan’s forehead.
Wang Yan was dumbfounded on the spot.
Brothers and sisters, what does today’s matter have to do with me? !
