Chapter 289: Chapter 289: Old Classmate in the Parking Lot

Liao Xuexue arrogantly tilted up her chin, showing a big smile.

"You bought me so many clothes today, it would be too much if I didn’t reciprocate, right?"

The principle of reciprocity, Liao Xuexue was very clear about that.

She is not like some other girls at the university.

They can’t wait to drain the boys’ wallets, spending not a dime of their own regardless of what they do.

Although it’s said that women should think for themselves, Liao Xuexue still felt

that this is completely fallacious.

At the end of the day, isn’t it just refined selfishness?

Ye Chen looked at the sophisticated electronic watch on his left wrist and couldn’t help but give a wry smile.

"This must have cost a pretty penny, right? Do you still have any living expenses left?"

"After my grandpa found out that I was out shopping with you, he transferred me some more money, so don’t worry about it," Liao Xuexue said, waving her phone.

Ye Chen glanced at it and saw that Old Man Liao was indeed generous, directly transferring ten thousand yuan to his granddaughter for living expenses.

This little lady, she’s really something.

I bought her some clothes, and she immediately returned the favor with a watch.

What is this watch?

A token of our relationship?

Thinking of this, Ye Chen smiled helplessly.

"Then I won’t be shy about it," Ye Chen said, waving his wrist.

"This watch really suits you," Liao Xuexue said, nodding in satisfaction.

"Don’t mention it, you really do have good taste," Ye Chen said, admiring the classic watch on his wrist.

"Let’s go, let’s go, this afternoon I still have to deal with some papers I haven’t finished at school!"

Liao Xuexue murmured to Ye Chen, carrying shopping bags.

Ye Chen nodded, and the two of them, with their shopping bags in hand, made their way to the underground parking lot via the mall’s escalator.

Returning to the Land Rover Defender, Ye Chen opened the trunk and put the bags inside.

It was a good thing the Land Rover Defender had a spacious trunk, but even so, the myriad of bags filled it up completely.

Liao Xuexue looked at the full trunk and couldn’t help feeling an indescribable sense of happiness.

It turns out that shopping can indeed be addicting!

And the feeling of buying in person is completely different from online shopping!

Ye Chen closed the trunk and was about to get back into the car with Liao Xuexue.

But just as Ye Chen and Liao Xuexue were about to get into the car,

Ye Chen suddenly heard someone calling his name from behind.

"Ye Chen? Is that Ye Chen?"

It was a young man’s voice.

Ye Chen and Liao Xuexue simultaneously froze, then turned around almost at the same time.

Not far behind them, they saw a flamboyantly dressed man stepping down from a black Citroën Mercedes C-Class.

At the same time, a heavily made-up woman got out of the passenger seat.

Ye Chen narrowed his eyes, scrutinizing the man covered in logos, pondering.

He felt this person looked familiar, but he couldn’t recall where he had seen him.

While Ye Chen was pondering, the man who looked about Ye Chen’s age, arm in arm with the garishly made-up woman, approached Ye Chen.

"What, don’t recognize me anymore?" The young man standing opposite to Ye Chen spoke in a brazen manner.

Ye Chen gave him a glance.

This guy had a sharp face, triangular eyes, and a collapsed nose, his appearance was indeed quite distinctive.

"You must be Jin Huiming, right?"

Jin Huiming was a classmate of Ye Chen’s in high school and looked just like this guy.

Looking at the man in front of him, Ye Chen could only make a rough guess.

"Hehe, not bad, you haven’t forgotten about me!"

The young man didn’t deny it, speaking in a carefree manner, then revealed a grin full of yellow, tobacco-stained teeth that were simply nauseating to look at.

"Yo, out shopping with your girlfriend? Didn’t expect her to be so pretty, not bad."

Jin Huiming noticed Liao Xuexue standing next to Ye Chen and couldn’t help but make a teasing comment.

Liao Xuexue’s face turned red, but she didn’t deny it.

However, whilst Jin Huiming said this, his companion with heavy makeup snorted unhappily.

Ye Chen felt somewhat perplexed.

So it really was a high school classmate.

But...

Ye Chen clearly remembered that he never got along with this guy named Jin Huiming.

It seemed like back in high school, they’d had a fight over something, and he had punched the guy.

Back then, he’d made the guy’s nose bleed profusely...

"Where do you work now?"

"Can you afford such a pretty girlfriend?"

Jin Huiming sneered, looking at Liao Xuexue with a sleazy gaze, while making sarcastic remarks on the side.

Ye Chen, realizing why this guy had struck up a conversation with him, assumed the guy wanted to flaunt his superiority.

After all these years, the guy was still as boring as ever.

Ye Chen didn’t feel like wasting his breath on such people, so he gave a perfunctory response.

"Just a little streamer on Kuaidou."

"Affording or not, if you can afford it, you drink tea; if you can’t, you drink water."

Ye Chen shrugged his shoulders.

Hearing this, Jin Huiming’s expression shifted, his sense of superiority surged.

He let out a cold laugh, speaking in a scornful tone.

"Oh, I thought you found some good job."

"Turns out you’re just a little streamer on the Kuaidou app..."

At this moment, Liao Xuexue also perceived that the person in front of them bore ill-will.

So, she frowned slightly and remained silent, standing by.

Jin Huiming walked up boldly, patted Ye Chen on the shoulder, and continued, "Then you’re really not doing well, being a little streamer, how much can you make in a month, two or three thousand yuan?"

Ye Chen pushed Jin Huiming’s hand away, saying somewhat displeased, "About that much."

Jin Huiming clicked his tongue, then said to his heavily made-up female companion, "See that? This is my high school classmate. He was pretty mighty back in high school, but once he graduated and entered society, he got a bitter taste of reality."

Jin Huiming’s female companion similarly clicked her tongue, casting a dismissive glance at Ye Chen, but remained silent.

However, she felt that the guy in front of her looked a bit familiar.

Where she had seen him before, she couldn’t quite remember at the moment.

And Ye Chen was also ready to leave this place.

After all, he had nothing to say to this kind of person.

But then, Jin Huiming spoke again: "Ye Chen, let me be honest with you, I’ve opened a restaurant with my family now, I can earn tens of thousands a month."

While speaking, Jin Huiming casually showed off his Mercedes car key, pretending to be unintentional.

"If you ever find yourself struggling in life, unable to support your pretty girlfriend here, feel free to come to my restaurant. I’ll offer you a dishwashing job, letting you earn three thousand a month, hahaha!"
