Chapter 4: Show Me Your True Strength

Xinyi came up to Yang Chen and angrily asked, "Yang Chen, you’re going too far! Can’t we just break up peacefully? What are you trying to do? Are you deliberately trying to sabotage things?""What right do you have to talk to me, you old biddy? Get lost." Yang Chen replied irritably.

Xinyi was instantly furious and said, "Yang Chen, what’s with the way you’re talking? Don’t go too far!"

Yang Chen sneered and said, "Don’t you indoctrinate Zhao Feifei with materialistic ideas every day? Don’t you take her to all sorts of parties to find rich men? Am I wrong to call you an old biddy? You’re filthy yourself and you’re dragging your friend down with you, now you’re even offering your face for me to slap, aren’t you just despicable? Your parents gave birth to you to make them proud, not to embarrass them. You’re in your early twenties but you’re always mixing with men in their forties and fifties, if you don’t feel ashamed, I feel ashamed for your parents."

"You..." Xinyi was rendered speechless by Yang Chen’s scolding.

Though Yang Chen’s words were unpleasant, they were factual.

Since her first year in college, Xinyi had been hooking up with men outside, living off their support to buy branded phones, clothes, bags, and so on.

Yang Chen had long advised Zhao Feifei not to be friends with someone like that, otherwise she would eventually be led astray.

But Zhao Feifei wouldn’t listen and insisted on being friends with her, and finally, they both walked down the "wealthy" path together.

At this moment, Zhao Feifei and the sugar daddy arrived.

The sugar daddy cheerfully said, "Xinyi, what’s going on?"

Xinyi hastily turned around, seeing Zhao Feifei’s anxious face, she quickly said to the sugar daddy, "Oh, Brother Li, it’s nothing, you go sit down, I’ll be there shortly."

The sugar daddy smiled and said, "Looks like the conversation isn’t going well, huh? Young man, who are you?"

Yang Chen replied very directly, "You should call me ex-brother-in-law, I’m Zhao Feifei’s ex-boyfriend. Oh, she just broke up with me today. When did you two hook up? Aren’t you just the third party? That’s nothing to be proud of. And you, Zhao Feifei, when did you start liking this type? Not satisfied with calling me daddy in bed, you actually found an old man daddy for real."

The sugar daddy turned to look at Zhao Feifei, giving a false smile, and asked, "Feifei, is this true?"

Zhao Feifei quickly cried and said, "I broke up with him a long time ago, he just wouldn’t agree. Today, he said he’d prepared a birthday celebration dinner for me and asked me to attend. I broke up with him again, and he actually followed me here, it’s really bullying. Boohoo..."

Sigh...

People really change, Zhao Feifei used to be so pure, now she’s turned into a manipulative woman.

The sugar daddy, being so much older, obviously didn’t care whether Zhao Feifei was a virgin, as long as she was young and beautiful.

Seeing her weep like a pear blossom in the rain, the sugar daddy’s protective instincts flared up, he gently patted Zhao Feifei, comforting her, "Feifei, it’s not your fault, you shouldn’t get upset over such a person. Later, I’ll get you a Gucci bag and a set of Chanel perfume, alright, don’t cry anymore?"

Wow, the allure of these damn rich people, it’s intoxicating just to listen to.

Zhao Feifei sniffled and nodded, feeling quite pleased inside.

Xinyi immediately mocked, "Yang Chen, see that? This is what a mature man is capable of. He cheers his girlfriend up by buying a Gucci bag. You try to make your girlfriend happy just by talking. How could you possibly compare?"

The sugar daddy chuckled and said, "Xinyi, don’t say that. He’s still young, it’s normal to be broke. But poor people have to live like poor people, don’t wish for things that don’t belong to you. Young man, don’t you agree?"

Yang Chen nodded and said, "Hmm, what you’ve said makes a lot of sense, everyone should know their place, recognize their social circle. So, why are you here? To watch me eat?"

The sugar daddy laughed heartily and said, "I have a small business, supplying vegetables and other ingredients to the Peninsula Hotel. Coming here to eat the food I supply makes sense, right?"

This guy knows how to show off.

The exchanges between men are always like this, seemingly peaceful on the surface, but actually filled with tension and danger.

Since he supplies vegetables to the Peninsula Hotel, it should be easy to handle.

Yang Chen is now the second-largest shareholder of the Peninsula Hotel Group, he should have the authority to decide not to use a particular supplier, right?

At this moment, the waiter served the dishes.

All the dishes, the cake, and the flowers that Yang Chen had reserved were brought out.

Seeing this, Zhao Feifei felt a bit sour inside.

It seemed Yang Chen genuinely loved her, having prepared this birthday dinner for her.

Sadly, he’s just too poor and can’t meet her needs.

Zhao Feifei questioned, "Yang Chen, do you think doing this now still has any meaning? Are you trying to make me feel moved, or even guilty? Let me tell you, stop dreaming, it’s not going to happen! The more you do this, the more disgusted I feel."

Yang Chen glanced at her and said, "You’re overthinking this!"

The sugar daddy laughed and said, "Young man, this meal doesn’t come cheap. What do you do for a living? How much do you make a month?"

Yang Chen smiled and replied, "Right now, I’m just a ride-hailing driver, earning three to five hundred yuan a day."

The sugar daddy laughed heartily and said, "Then you’re spending more than half a month’s income on this meal. Spending so much just to show off, do you think it’s worth it?"

Yang Chen chuckled and said, "That’s still better than you not even having the qualification to eat here, and yet dragging your little girlfriend along to show off. You’re really old, and you don’t recognize your own status and position. Don’t you feel pathetic?"

The rich man burst out laughing and said, "Are you kidding me? I’m not qualified to eat here? Do you believe if I use some connections, you’ll be the one who’s not qualified to eat here?"

Yang Chen shook his head and said, "I don’t believe it! Why don’t you show me your real abilities?"

Chen Xinyi added fuel to the fire on the side, saying, "Brother Li, why don’t you show him your real abilities? With him here, none of us can enjoy our meal."

The rich man thought Chen Xinyi had a point, with Yang Chen here, none of them felt at ease.

So, he smiled and said, "Young man, it’s not that I want to bully you, it’s just that you’re too annoying. Sorry, I’ll have to ask you to leave. Waiter, call your Manager Cheng over, I have something to discuss with him."

The waiter nodded and quickly went to call the manager.

Yang Chen still had videos and photos, so Zhao Feifei didn’t dare to tear her face with him.

So she quickly said, "Yang Chen, just leave. We agreed to part on good terms, didn’t we?"

"Are you kidding me? I came here for a meal; I haven’t even eaten yet, why should I leave? I’ve even blocked your contact, isn’t that being decent enough? It seems you changed your number to call me, right? What, used to calling me daddy every night, still want to maintain a secret relationship with me?" Yang Chen replied with a smile.

These words made Zhao Feifei’s face flush with anger and embarrassment.

But so what?

She didn’t dare to say a harsh word.

The rich man was unhappy.

To hear his woman calling someone else daddy right in front of him, what could be more humiliating?

Seeing her old boyfriend about to explode, Zhao Feifei quickly intervened, "Yang Chen, I beg you, okay? Spare me, stop pestering me. I’m begging you. Do you want me to kneel down?"

She intentionally lowered herself to gain sympathy; others hearing her would think Yang Chen is a jerk, pushing his ex-girlfriend to the edge, typical manipulative behavior.

Sure enough, the diners nearby couldn’t stand it any longer, and started to denounce Yang Chen.

"A man should be able to take in stride and move on, the more you cling like this, the more people look down on you."

"Clinging after a breakup is really pathetic. Men’s behavior nowadays is really baffling, don’t they care about dignity?"

"If it comes to it, call the police, with people like him, the more you argue, the more they thrive."

...

Yang Chen turned to the diners, irritated, and said, "Mind your own meals, don’t talk nonsense. What do you know? She betrayed a six-year relationship to be with this old man. I reserved this meal in advance, isn’t it right I come here to eat? Should I just throw the money away to the hotel for nothing?"

The diners were rendered speechless by Yang Chen.

But then, someone started to argue.

"She would rather betray a six-year relationship to leave you, don’t you think about your own flaws?"

"Six years! How many six years does she have? A girl stuck with you for six years, and in the end left, how despairing must she be."

...

Yang Chen was speechless, immediately warned, "If you’re going to eat, then eat properly, if not, then leave quickly. If you’re watching the scene, then watch silently, if you dare to babble again, I’ll have you thrown out too."

The diners were fired up too.

"Damn! So arrogant! You think you’re so tough?"

"Haha... you’re killing me here, a self-assured guy getting worked up without drinking, do you know your behavior is really pathetic?"

"Go ahead, I’d like to see you throw us all out! Only talking and not acting makes you a loser, understand?"

...

Yang Chen used to read online novels where the villains were always stupid.

Back then, he thought the authors were bad writers, just downgrading intelligence.

Now Yang Chen realized, it’s all real life experiences.

There really are people with honeyed confidence presenting themselves to be smacked, interfering in others’ business without understanding the situation to uphold justice.

If I didn’t fulfill their wish to be thrown out, wouldn’t I disappoint their masochistic tendencies?
