11: Chapter 11 Is he buying you a gift, and then...
When he received Team Leader Li Guangbiao's call,
Luo Wei was in the middle of a massive shopping spree at the mall.
Currently, he had 110,000 yuan in his bank account,
30,000 yuan in cash, and gold worth nearly ten million.
He was completely flush with cash now. While he couldn't buy absolutely anything he wanted, he could spend without a single worry!
The phone in his pocket rang. He pulled it out and wasn't surprised at all to see it was Team Leader Li Guangbiao calling.
He answered with a smile, "Hello, Team Leader, what's up?"
"What's up?" Team Leader Li Guangbiao could hear that Luo Wei was smiling!
The fury in his heart erupted like a volcano. "You actually have the nerve to ask me what's up?"
"Have you gone mad? You actually scammed my wife! Don't you know that's a crime?"
"If you don't want to rot in prison, give me back the money right now!"
Team Leader Li Guangbiao's furious roar didn't make Luo Wei feel threatened; instead, he couldn't help but laugh.
"Hehe... Team Leader, I actually do want to taste prison food. Please, report it to the police and have them throw me in jail!"
"You..." Team Leader Li Guangbiao truly hadn't expected Luo Wei to be such a rogue. He was so anxious and angry he nearly coughed up blood!
The 30,000 yuan Luo Wei had swindled was dirty money to begin with!
Team Leader Li Guangbiao couldn't possibly call the police!
Once he did, the fact that he had been taking kickbacks from clients would definitely be exposed by Luo Wei!
At that point, he didn't know if Luo Wei would go to jail, but he would certainly be kicked out of the company and held legally responsible!
"Luo Wei, have some pity on me..." Seeing that threats weren't working, Team Leader Li Guangbiao started playing the emotional card. "I'm at this age and still just a team leader. I have a whole family to support. It's so hard for me..."
"Team Leader, it's even harder for me!" Luo Wei also began to complain. "You have a house, a car, a wife, and a warm bed. What about me? No house, no car. Tell me, which of us is more pitiful?"
Team Leader Li Guangbiao was speechless, momentarily at a loss for words.
"Alright." Luo Wei couldn't be bothered to talk to Team Leader Li Guangbiao any longer. "Let's just act like nothing happened!"
"If you insist on making a fuss, then I'll have to go to the department manager and chat about you taking kickbacks from clients."
"..." Faced with Luo Wei's threat, a layer of cold sweat broke out on Team Leader Li Guangbiao's forehead.
He couldn't understand at all—how did Luo Wei know about his secret dealings with clients?
"Fine, let's just leave it at that..." Team Leader Li Guangbiao said through gritted teeth.
"You... you'd better not go around talking nonsense. O-otherwise, I won't let you off!"
After uttering a feeble threat, Team Leader Li Guangbiao had no choice but to pretend nothing had happened!
However, as an iron rooster, losing 30,000 yuan all at once made it impossible for him to remain calm as if nothing was wrong!
Upon returning to the office area, the pot-bellied Team Leader Li Guangbiao's expression was exceptionally grim, so much so that his team members were too scared to even breathe loudly!
Chen Aila took a moment during her break to send Luo Wei a message.
"I'm so jealous that you took the day off today!"
"That miser Pig Head Li looks like he just got scammed out of a million yuan!"
"His face is as black as the bottom of a pot. He's cursing everyone out at the slightest provocation. It's terrifying!"
Luo Wei chuckled and gave Chen Aila a second of sympathy before continuing his shopping.
At this time, Lin Fei and her Best Friend also arrived at this mall.
She was in a bad mood and decided to buy a bag; after all, 'bags cure all ills.'
Her sharp-eyed Best Friend immediately spotted Luo Wei, who was in the middle of his shopping spree.
"Feifei, look! Luo Wei is actually in a women's clothing store!"
"Do you think he's buying a gift for you to ask for a reconciliation?"
Lin Fei also saw Luo Wei. Hearing her Best Friend's words, her heart filled with joy.
Even though Luo Wei had ignored her last night, which had made her very upset,
if Luo Wei brought a gift to beg for reconciliation, she would reluctantly agree!
"Come on, let's follow him!" The Best Friend pulled Lin Fei along, following Luo Wei from a distance. "Let's see what kind of gifts he's planning to buy you!"
Having consumed the body strengthening fluid, Luo Wei's perception was very keen. He had already noticed Lin Fei and the other woman watching him from afar.
Since the two of them didn't step forward, he naturally didn't bother to acknowledge them.
He visited several women's clothing stores and bought over a dozen outfits.
Afterward, he went into a mobile phone store and bought the latest phone, headphones, and a tablet.
He even entered a computer store and walked away with a laptop.
Witnessing Luo Wei swipe his card decisively without haggling once, both Lin Fei and her Best Friend were stunned!
"D-didn't he only win ten thousand yuan?" The Best Friend couldn't understand. "He just bought so many things, worth at least forty or fifty thousand. Does he have that much money?"
Lin Fei shook her head instinctively. She knew very well that Luo Wei had almost nothing left from his monthly salary and couldn't possibly have saved any money.
"Could it be..." The Best Friend guessed wildly, "...that he maxed out his credit cards just to get you back?"
"He's leaving the mall. Let's hurry and follow him to see if he's going to find you!"
Luo Wei walked out of the mall carrying many bags and hailed a ride-share car.
As his car moved forward, he naturally noticed a car following behind.
A smile curled on his lips. Lin Fei and her Best Friend were truly bored!
Both Lin Fei and her Best Friend thought the next place Luo Wei would go was the Bishui Manor Community where they lived.
Lin Fei was currently debating whether to get back together with Luo Wei. Although Luo Wei had bought so many gifts and shown great sincerity, those gifts were all bought on credit!
Before Lin Fei could make up her mind, the Best Friend sitting beside her shook her arm.
At that moment, Lin Fei saw Luo Wei get out of the car.
Looking out the window, Lin Fei saw the large characters for 'Honghai University'.
Lin Fei was instantly dumbfounded. She realized in a flash that the things Luo Wei bought were for his sister, not gifts for her.
She felt like a clown. She had actually been agonizing over whether to accept Luo Wei's reconciliation, when in fact, he had no intention of asking for her back at all!
"Bah!" The Best Friend shouted in exasperation. "Let's ignore that loser. I promise I'll introduce you to someone young, rich, and who treats you well!"
After entering Honghai University, Luo Wei noticed that the two following him had left.
Lin Fei must be very frustrated. He couldn't help but chuckle!
A girl with a baby face suddenly popped out!
"Brother—" Luo Xiyao had already received Luo Wei's message.
Knowing that Luo Wei was coming to the school to see her, she had been waiting at the school gate in advance.
Seeing Luo Wei carrying a huge pile of bags, the baby-faced girl was a bit confused.
"Brother, are you... just happening to deliver goods to our school?"
"No, these are all gifts I bought for you!"
"Ah?" Luo Xiyao was so shocked she stood there like a wooden chicken!
"Don't just stand there, hurry up and help me carry these!"
"Oh, oh oh..."
"I'll help too!"
Luo Xiyao's friend, Lili, quickly took some shopping bags from Luo Wei's hands.
She was very envious that her friend's brother had prepared so many gifts!
Luo Xiyao looked at the items inside the shopping bags and then looked up at Luo Wei.
In her clear, dark eyes, crystal-clear tears began to fall without warning.
She wasn't crying because she was moved; she was crying out of fear. "Brother, you transferred five thousand yuan to me last night, and I still haven't processed that."
"Why are you suddenly buying me so many things now? Don't scare me..."
