136: Chapter 136 Keep the good stuff in the family

After the Young Master walked into the mall...

The security guard stared at the two hundred yuan in his hand, thinking: I wonder if the Young Master will give me another hundred when he leaves?

If Li Luo heard this, he would only shake his head with a smile.

After all, this was human nature—never knowing when to be satisfied.

It's like being good to a girlfriend ninety-nine times, but then being harsh to her just once.

She won't remember the ninety-nine times you were good; she will only firmly remember why you were harsh to her.

It was the same with Li Luo giving tips. If he always gave three hundred and later lowered the standard to two hundred or one hundred...

Over time, this security guard would call him stingy and might even complain about him.

But the guard had no idea that this money didn't belong to him in the first place, yet he felt it was what he deserved.

On the other side, after Li Luo entered the mall,

Passersby pointed at him, eyes filled with envy, jealousy, and curiosity—all sorts of gazes mixed together.

Li Luo had long passed the point of being sensitive to such looks and continued toward the Omega boutique with composure.

At the same time, in Yingyuan Residential Area.

"Alright, that's roughly everything that happened."

Gu Yuqing had headed straight to her Best Friend's place right after work. Upon meeting, the two played around for a bit before naturally talking about what her Best Friend had experienced during her trip back to her hometown.

Seeing that she had finished speaking, Gu Yuqing's mouth hung open in shock.

"This Old Classmate of mine is really..."

"I'm so jealous my face is practically distorted; I'm speechless."

"Last time you called, you told me he gave you three million. Now you're saying he bought you a Villa in your hometown, which cost nearly four million."

"As if that wasn't enough, you mention the maserati."

"Oh God! Please strike this scumbag girl down with lightning!"

"Hehe, that's not all! There's also this apartment we're in! Well? Jealous?" Xu Wei gave a wicked grin.

"What's the use of me being jealous? I..."

Gu Yuqing quickly shut her mouth halfway through. She knew that if she continued, her Best Friend would definitely bring up that topic again.

"What's wrong? Keep talking!"

"I just... I just..."

"Can't say it, can you? 'I just, I just'—you're just stubborn. How much do you make a month at work? How much is left after paying rent?" Xu Wei said crossly.

"But you weren't like this before! Didn't you used to hate the idea of being a kept woman? Now you're trying to convince me. I think your mind has been clouded by money," Gu Yuqing argued back.

Hearing this, Xu Wei glanced at her. She wasn't angry; instead, she took Gu Yuqing's hand and spoke with a serious expression.

"Qingqing, what I used to hate was the kind of relationship that's purely for money—no feelings, no respect, being treated like a plaything. But Li Luo is different."

"How is he different?" Gu Yuqing asked curiously.

Xu Wei seemed to fall into a memory, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.

"Since I've been with him, he's given me respect and a sense of security. He even made a special trip for my mother's sake."

As she spoke, Xu Wei's voice grew softer.

"He even said today that he'd marry me."

"What? Li Luo said he'd marry you?" Gu Yuqing shrieked in shock.

Seeing this, Xu Wei quickly covered her ears and moved back a few steps.

"I said, why are you suddenly so loud! You're going to scare me to death!"

Gu Yuqing ignored the complaint and said solemnly,

"Didn't you say he has several women? What about those other women if he marries you?"

Xu Wei gave her a sidelong glance.

"How should I know? He told me that when the time comes, all the sisters will have a meal together to discuss the details."

"But I suspect he plans to hold a wedding for every sister."

"A wedding for everyone? Then there won't be a marriage certificate," Gu Yuqing muttered to herself.

"What's the use of a marriage certificate? It's just for show. What's most important is the status. Don't you agree?"

"That's true, but will the parents of you sisters agree?"

Xu Wei said nonchalantly,

"Just don't tell them. I believe the other sisters think the same way. By the time they find out later, it'll already be a done deal."

"Besides, by then they'll be enjoying a luxurious life. Even if they find out, they might just turn a blind eye."

Seeing her Best Friend dazed and silent, Xu Wei sighed, sat back down, and took her hand.

"Qingqing, we've known each other for years. When have I ever lied to you? I'm sharing this with you because I truly think he's good."

She paused before continuing.

"Yes, at first I was with him for the money, but later it was really because of the man himself. He makes me feel very happy and secure. Of course, I won't deny that money plays a big part in it."

Gu Yuqing stared at her Best Friend with a complicated look. She remained silent for a few seconds before speaking.

"I want to know why you're so intent on dragging me into this. Aren't you afraid he'll have a change of heart as he gets more women?"

"I don't know if he'll change, but I definitely won't. Besides, I trust my husband. The look in his eyes when he said he'd marry me today couldn't be faked. I trust my sixth sense."

"As for why I'm intent on dragging you in..."

Xu Wei said half-jokingly and half-seriously,

"Naturally, it's because I want to keep the benefits within the family! My husband is so excellent; rather than letting outside women benefit, I'd rather bring my best Best Friend in. We can keep each other company in the future. It's called sharing the wealth and the woes."

"Of course, there's one more thing!" The Girl scratched her head, looking a bit embarrassed.

"He's too strong; I can't handle him alone. You'd also want your future man to be very strong in certain areas, right? If that's the case, you can just throw away the things in your drawer."

"What nonsense are you talking about? Who told you to go through my drawer?" Gu Yuqing's face turned beet red instantly, and she glared at her Best Friend.

"I'm saying this for your own good. Using those things too much isn't good for your body. Besides, there's a ready-made one right here. Once you use him, you'll know those things in your drawer can't compare."

"Xu Wei, shut up!" Gu Yuqing shrieked angrily.

"I don't know anything about things in a drawer. If you keep talking nonsense, I'm leaving."

"Go then, go ahead. If you dare walk out that door, I'll tell everyone about that matter of yours."

"You're really pushing it!" Gu Yuqing, unable to take it anymore, pounced on her in a rage.

"What are you doing! Don't pinch me there! Careful, or my husband will beat you up."

"You won't listen, right? Then don't blame me. Behold my unique skill!"

"Xu Wei, who did you learn this from? This is too much!"

After the two played around for a while...

Gu Yuqing sat up and said softly,

"Let me think about it carefully, okay?"
