Why is This Troublemaker So Damn Rich?

Her mentality was a bit strange. She was the one who had willingly given him up, yet now that someone else saw his worth, she felt bitter.

Seeing nothing on Huang Lingyu’s smooth, jade-like wrist, she couldn’t help but sneer, "Huang Lingyu, why didn’t you have Zheng Lei bring you to a place like this? I guess you don’t fleece your own friends, huh."

Huang Lingyu’s face instantly turned pale. She quickly looked at Yang Hui, as if to explain that she wasn’t that kind of person.

Lin Yu’s implication was that Huang Lingyu wanted to buy jewelry but was saving Zheng Lei’s money, so she came to fleece Yang Hui instead. Yang Hui just smiled. He knew, of course, that wasn’t Huang Lingyu’s intention. It was his idea to come here in the first place. Besides, he had a strange quirk: the less a woman wanted from him, the more he wanted to give her. If she were the type to actually ask for things, he wouldn’t part with a single cent.

Someone like Lin Yu, for example—he couldn’t even be bothered to spare her a glance now.

The sales associate went behind the counter, took out a basic model of the Protective Talisman Bracelet, and let Huang Lingyu try it on. Lin Yu couldn’t resist mocking her, "You even needed financial aid to get through school, and now you’re starting to wear Cartier? Heh heh..."

The fingers Huang Lingyu used to pick up the bracelet instantly turned deathly pale, and she almost dropped it. The sales associate shot Lin Yu an unhappy look, thinking, ’What is this woman doing? Don’t ruin my sale.’

From the side, Yang Hui encouraged her, "Go on, try it on. She’s got nothing to do with us. Why are you even listening to her?"

Seeing him defending Huang Lingyu made Lin Yu even angrier. At the same time, she felt that Yang Hui was just putting on a brave front. His family was so poor, how much could he possibly have saved since he started working? And yet here he was, bringing someone to buy Cartier.

"An Ping, go pay for it. Don’t let people think we’re the type to just try things on without buying."

Her sales associate was thrilled. Even though it was a small item, at 12,500, it was still a sale.

An Ping followed their sales associate to pay, while Lin Yu stood there watching Huang Lingyu wear the exact same model as her. ’But why does it somehow look better on her wrist than on mine?’ she wondered.

Huang Lingyu glanced back at Yang Hui, her eyes asking if it looked good.

"Take it off."

PFFT! Lin Yu couldn’t help but laugh. So Yang Hui had only brought her here to try it on. She’d actually thought he was going to buy it for her.

Huang Lingyu obediently took off the bracelet and handed it back to the sales associate. She turned to Yang Hui and said, "Should we go?"

From the side, Lin Yu mocked them again, "Well, I guess that counts as having worn Cartier, heh heh—"

"Wrap up that model inlaid with colored gemstones. Ring it up."

The laughter died in her throat. Lin Yu’s smile froze on her face, her mouth hanging open wide enough to swallow an egg. "You... you... are you kidding me? This one is 135,000."

He gave a cool smile. "Only this model is barely worthy of Lingyu. Who wears the basic stuff? Why would someone with only enough money for Zhou Daifu or Lao Feng Xiang stretch themselves just to pretend they’re rich by buying a basic Cartier?"

Without another word to her, he led Huang Lingyu to follow the sales associate to the register. As they walked, the associate glanced back at Lin Yu. She suspected the handsome man was buying such an expensive bracelet just to stand up for his girlfriend. If that was the case, she really ought to thank that woman for her sharp-tongued cattiness.

Huang Lingyu followed behind, whispering, "It’s so expensive. Are you really buying it?"

She had also assumed Yang Hui would buy her the basic model at most. She never imagined he would buy this 135,000 one. It was far too extravagant.

"Of course. Did you think I was just messing with the sales associate?"

She was chided, but she wasn’t angry at all. In fact, a sweet warmth spread through her heart. Looking back, she saw Lin Yu’s face was ashen. Her pretty features were now twisted in a ferocious expression, as if Huang Lingyu hadn’t been given the bracelet by Yang Hui, but had snatched it right from her.

After the transaction was complete, the sales associate asked, "Should I box it, or should I put it on the lady for you?"

"Have her wear it." Yang Hui made the final call without even asking for her opinion.

The sales associate glanced between the two of them, thinking, ’This girl is so docile; she does whatever her boyfriend says. Sigh, if I had a boyfriend this handsome and rich, one who’d buy me jewelry worth over a hundred thousand, I wouldn’t have a temper either.’

As they were about to leave, the sales associate mustered up her courage and handed him her business card. "Sir, please feel free to contact me if you need anything else."

Lin Yu and An Ping had already left. She felt like she would suffocate if she stayed a moment longer. The jealousy in her eyes was so intense that even An Ping could feel it. She had refused to even wear the bracelet he was going to put on for her, and was now swinging the shopping bag in her hand as if it were a piece of trash, making one wonder if she was about to look for a garbage can to toss it in.

"Sigh, I didn’t expect that Yang Hui to be so willing to spend just to impress a girl. He probably blew through years of his savings. He’s not the type to live practically. He’ll probably be eating dirt from now on."

Lin Yu sneered, "Couldn’t it be that he struck it rich?"

An Ping replied with confident arrogance, "Struck it rich? What opportunities are there to strike it rich nowadays? Even if he knows President Tian and has some advantages doing business at Xinyue Square, and even if he could negotiate the brand dealership rights, where would he get the startup capital? Without startup capital, building a business from scratch is just a fairy tale."

"If he were willing to cooperate with me, use his connection with President Tian to get us some benefits, I’d be willing to give him a finder’s fee. Unfortunately, he’s a bit clueless. Some connections need to be cashed in on right away, or they expire and become useless. The moment President Tian gets transferred from his post, that connection will be worthless even if he wants to use it."

Hearing this made Lin Yu feel a little better.

’Hmph, Yang Hui put on a big show with this one purchase; he’ll probably go back to eating scraps. It’s not like I don’t have expensive jewelry. The pendant around my neck is also worth over a hundred thousand.’

But then she remembered Yang Hui’s impressive... assets. She had been saving herself to marry up and hadn’t dared to indulge before. Now, it was all to Huang Lingyu’s benefit.
