Let’s Squander A Billion First!

Chapter 1591: Chapter 1591: Wu Di of the Anti-Fans (22)

Just as Ren Qi reached the last two steps, she suddenly fell without warning.

Face to the ground...

The posture was quite unseemly.

Chuzheng: ”...” Serves her right! Tsk tsk, for running into me and shouting at me!

[Miss, you...]

Chuzheng: ”???”

No, what’s it got to do with me? I didn’t even move.

[...]

I really didn’t move!

She’s not yet at the point of going crazy over some random stranger shouting a couple of times without causing her any actual loss and then doing such boring things.

Today she’s also making an effort to be a good person!

[...] I don’t believe you!

Chuzheng: ”...”

Why don’t you believe it!

This really wasn’t me!

Bastard, what’s it with you?

Do you have to smear your host like this? You don’t want to continue, do you?

[...] It really wants to stop, how nice it would be to switch to a girl from next door.

Ren Qi probably hadn’t expected to fall to the ground in such a miserable way, especially with people watching.

She didn’t know if she was stunned by the fall or hurt; it took her a while to sit up with her arms on the ground.

Her knees and elbows were scraped, and blood was oozing out, the wounds stinging painfully.

Ren Qi took a glance at her injuries, immediately turned her head, and looked up.

Chuzheng was still standing at a distance, overlooking her from above.

Ren Qi’s face turned instantly as if she had stepped on something dirty, alternating pale and red, full of shame and anger: ”What are you looking at!”

Chuzheng hadn’t intended to do anything, but upon hearing Ren Qi’s words, she retorted: ”My eyes are on me, I have the freedom to look wherever I want. Why do you care?”

You fell on your own, and I can’t even look?

I will look!

What, gonna hit me?

Ren Qi: ”...”

Chuzheng hadn’t spoken just now; Ren Qi had thought she would leave immediately, but who knew she’d respond so assuredly, making her face redden with anger.

But considering her identity, she felt it unnecessary to get entangled with a stranger.

Ren Qi pushed down her anger, glared at Chuzheng, and limped down the stairs.

Ren Qi felt that today was indeed a lousy day for her.

She adjusted her clothes while walking out of the building.

An Ji, don’t blame me for being ruthless! There’s nothing Ren Qi wants that she can’t have.

Just then, a few people walked by on the opposite side.

Ren Qi was reluctant to let others see her in a sorry state, so she shifted to the side, planning to move only after they passed.

”Is he home?”

”Surely he is, he just won’t open the door. An Ji, that brat...”

”An Ji’s mom isn’t here either, creating a fuss every day isn’t the way to go.”

”I don’t believe he doesn’t know where his mom is, he surely knows!”

Listening to their conversation, Ren Qi suddenly turned around and called out to them.

-

Upstairs.

Chuzheng knocked on the door.

The door didn’t open for a long time, so Chuzheng knocked again patiently. Just as she was considering whether to kick it down or make a call, the door was pulled open.

”Aren’t you done yet...”

An Ji’s voice abruptly stopped.

”What did you say?” What’s wrong with me!! I came looking for you, was I wrong?

An Ji’s heart sped up slightly, and he quickly lied: ”I... I thought it was the property management.”

He swiftly side-stepped: ”Come in.”

”What’s the property management looking for you for?”

”Nothing much, just some trifles.” An Ji closed the door: ”Why did you come over?”

Chuzheng found An Ji a bit strange and suspiciously circled around the room, casually saying: ”Can’t I come?”

What’s the Good Person Card doing behind my back?

An Ji stood over there, obediently shaking his head: ”No, I thought you had something to tell me...”

Chuzheng wouldn’t come to him for no reason; she came over to give An Ji some food—she bought it, so not to waste!

”If you have anything, you can tell me,” Chuzheng said with concern.

”There’s really nothing,” An Ji smiled: ”I’m doing fine.”

”...”

If you end up gone, see if I care!

Chuzheng didn’t stay long at An Ji’s place and soon got up to leave.

An Ji walked her to the door and took out a lollipop from his pocket: ”Want some candy?”

”No.”

”...”

An Ji, somewhat disappointed, put the candy away.

Chuzheng took the candy from his hand: ”I’m leaving.”

An Ji’s disappointment instantly turned into a smile, watching Chuzheng leave.

-

Deer.

In the wild and chaotic bar, full of noise, An Ji sat alone in a corner.

Suddenly, someone patted his shoulder, and An Ji turned around but saw no one; then his other shoulder was patted again, soon followed by Fei Xiu’s voice: ”How could you bear to come out?”

”Just went out for a walk.”

Fei Xiu sat down beside him and gestured for the staff to get him a drink, clinking glasses with An Ji directly: ”You should come out more often, look at your youth, it’s the perfect time to waste. Staying home all day is nothing.”

An Ji: ”...”

Fei Xiu started ranting non-stop.

Fei Xiu was a little surprised: ”You’re in a good mood today.”

An Ji: ”How did you know?”

Fei Xiu chuckled: ”Before, when I tried to talk this much, you would’ve left already.”

Fei Xiu leaned closer to An Ji, arm around his shoulder: ”Tell your uncle, what good thing happened?”

Turning his glass, An Ji watched the alcohol swirl in the pretty crystal glass.

Suddenly, An Ji raised the glass and drank it in one gulp, then looked at Fei Xiu: ”Uncle Fei, what do you think it feels like to like someone?”

Fei Xiu: ”If you asked me what fighting felt like, I’d give you some insight, but this is beyond my expertise.”

Being a middle-aged man surfing the web, Fei Xiu could adeptly use online buzzwords.

Fei Xiu’s hobbies had only ever been three: drinking, dogs, and fighting.

But now Fei Xiu hasn’t been a big-time figure for quite a few years and has become a law-abiding, proper citizen.

So now he only has two hobbies: wine and dogs.

Women?

What’s that?

”Why, plotting a new book? I remember you rarely write about this...”

Having known An Ji for so long, Fei Xiu never saw him with a woman, so he instinctively thought about his work.

”No,” An Ji shook his head: ”I might have someone I like.”

”Mm, that’s good...”

Fei Xiu initially didn’t pay attention and just followed An Ji’s words.

As they talked, something felt off...

”What did you say?”

An Ji said earnestly: ”I might have someone I like.”

Fei Xiu suddenly slapped An Ji on the shoulder: ”That’s great news, so who is it? Come, let uncle give you some advice.”

An Ji: ”...”

How can you give me advice when you don’t have a partner yourself?

An Ji shook his head: ”It’s private for now.”

”Tsk...” Fei Xiu didn’t press further: ”You’re something, I was worried you’d end up like me, spending life with dogs, but look at you, quietly having someone in mind.”

An Ji’s looks, if he just wanted women, could line up a street with them.

But he really had no interest in it.

Finding out An Ji liked someone, Fei Xiu was quite pleased.

It’s like his kid finally found someone.

Fei Xiu invited An Ji to drink several cups.

That wasn’t all; he even told the bar guests—today the boss is happy, drinks on the house, drink up.
