Chapter 26: Robbing the Rich to Help Poor Friends

  The four of them first arrived at the Furniture City, which is a large-scale one-stop shopping furniture and home comprehensive city. All kinds of styles of furniture, lighting fixtures, even decorative items, bedding, and other products are available here.

  Xīngyè originally planned to add a set of desk and chair, a small bookshelf, the original one would be given to Jiākǎi for use. In addition, she wanted to buy a small dressing table, after all, a girl's room should have a bigger mirror. Soon, she found a set of light-colored desk and chair, and a same-color system dressing table, all were simple and new-style furniture, the materials were also environmentally friendly, and the price was moderate and within Xīngyè's acceptable range.

  "Come and take this rattan chair, if someone else goes to your room there will be a place to sit, usually you can also sit on it to sunbathe and read books, the waiter is opening the bill." Jia Kai chose an European-style rattan chair, Xing Ye looked at the price 880 yuan.

  "With a rattan chair, you need to have a small table. When reading, brew a pot of tea and put some fruit on it. Yeah, this is not bad, quite matching." Hao Tianyang chose a metal-legged rattan round tea table for 598 yuan.

  "Wow, look at this lamp! It's imported from France, with a lotus-shaped design that can change multiple light sources and protect your eyesight. It's really great, I'll just buy it!" Lin Junjie held up a desk lamp for Xingye to see. The lamp was indeed very beautiful, but the price of 1200 yuan made Xingye speechless. Usually, a desk lamp on the market wouldn't cost more than 100 yuan, or even just 30-40 yuan. Was this lamp plated with gold? It's ridiculously expensive!

  Do these people have a grudge against her? Including the 5,000 yuan given by her aunt, it's only more than 8,000 yuan in total. Are they trying to swindle all of it?!

  Just as I was about to stop the salesperson who was going to open the ticket, Jia Kaila grabbed my arm and went to the bedding section. Looks like the 5,000 yuan that Aunt gave me hasn't even warmed up in my pocket yet, it's already in danger of being spent.

  "Brother, you don't need to buy these anymore, the ones at home are good enough." Xīng Yè looked at the dazzling five-piece and seven-piece sets, any one of which would cost several thousand yuan, and he really couldn't afford it.

  "A girl's gotta buy what she likes, can't use someone else's used stuff." Yu Jia Kai ignored Xing Ye's words and continued to ask the salesperson questions on his own.

  That young female salesperson was surrounded by three handsome guys with different styles, excitedly introducing them.

  "This red embroidered set is luxurious and auspicious. You look like we're going to get married tonight."

  "This set of colors is the most suitable for skin tone" Xīng Yè rolled her eyes, "Skin tone, have you ever seen anyone wearing a bed sheet on the street?"

  "This set is made of silk satin, the most..." The salesperson was still enthusiastically promoting it, not noticing that Xing Ye's face had turned black. How could they introduce such an expensive one?!

  "This is for Xīng Yè to buy or should Xīng Yè make his own decision." The three looked at Xīng Yè.

  "Go for that one, the pure cotton one is comfortable and easy to wash. I don't dare sit on those silk or satin ones, and they're a hassle to put away when sleeping."

  The salesperson looked at the four people with some disappointment as they left after buying only two discounted bed sheets.

  "Jia Kai, brother, we haven't paid yet," Xing Ye asked Jia Kai, who had only opened the ticket for half a day.

  "Don't worry, just pay when it's delivered home." Jake replied casually.

  Three people gazing at the starry night, a smile of mutual understanding.

  "That rattan chair, round tea table and lamp are gifts from us." Hao Tianyang smiled and told Xing Ye.

  "Sorry about this, 'How can I let you guys spend money, you're all students'"

  It's okay if it's Xiaojia Kai, who is his own cousin, but he and Lin Junjie Hao Tianyang have just met, and there isn't such a deep relationship.

  "Don't worry about this little money, we can still afford it. You'll understand when you've been with us for a while." Jia Kai spoke up to comfort her.

  "It's the same old thing, Jia Kai's sister is our sister, shouldn't we get something for our own sister? Isn't that right, Tian Yang?" Lin Junjie said as he turned to ask Hao Tianyang.

  Hao Tianyang smiled and bumped fists with him, Jia Kai also did the same action with them, the tacit understanding of good friends appeared instantly.

  Looking at the three big boys with their shoulders and backs together on a starry night, I am delighted by their friendship, which is sometimes not much worse than kinship.

  At noon, Xing Ye thought it would be fine to find a small restaurant, but Lin Jun Jie insisted on going to Tianyun City's top-rated Xing Yue Hotel. This is an integrated hotel that combines dining, entertainment and accommodation, known for its high-end consumption.

  Although Xing Ye didn't know these things, after seeing the scale and decoration of this restaurant, he knew that eating a meal here would definitely not be cheap.

  Jia Kai whispered in her ear, "Don't worry, that kid has a VIP card here and can sign for the bill. He often says his dad's money is ill-gotten gains, so let him pay for us as a way of robbing the rich to help the poor."

  "Ah", unexpectedly there are such father and son, the son robs his father's rich friends of their poverty.

  Found a room to sit down, a waiter came over and poured a pot of tea, and brought up four small plates of dried fruit.

  "The red wine beef here is pretty good, you can give it a try." Hao Tianyang said with a smile as he saw Xing Ye holding the menu and not knowing what to choose.

  Jia Kai thought that these dishes might not have been eaten by his sister Xing Ye even at night, so he naturally didn't know what to order and hurriedly said: "Just pick the most expensive ones, if you don't like them after they arrive, we can just reorder again, anyway someone will foot the bill."

  "Today I'm inviting Xing Ye's sister, you two are just tagging along, don't come up with any annoying ideas, just see what Xing Ye likes to eat." Lin Jun Jie retorted at the two troublemaking friends.

  "Miss, what special health-preserving dishes do you have here?" Xing Ye asked the waitress directly, ignoring their words.

  The door of the room was pushed open with a loud "bang", startling everyone.

  Only saw a very young girl, came in and went straight to Lin Junjie.

  "I just saw you in the hall and thought you were with us, but it turns out you're here to eat with someone else." The diamond earrings on the girl's ears shook as she moved, and her wrist revealed a diamond bracelet as she raised her hand. She didn't even glance at Xing Ye and his friends as she spoke.

  "Jin Weiwei, what are you doing here?" Lin Junjie asked in surprise.

  "It's not just me, but also my dad and mom, brother, sister, uncle and aunt are all here"

  "Alright, I know. You go first." Lin Junjie gestured for Jin Weiwei to leave.

  "Aren't you going? They've all seen you." Jin Weiwei refused to leave.

  "I have a friend here, I'll go take a look later." Lin Junjie's expression was somewhat helpless.

  "What friends? More important than your parents." Jin Weiwei glanced at the three people sitting there, who were all very ordinary, didn't look like they had any money, the two men looked okay, but that girl, she took another look at Xing Ye, shouldn't be Lin Junjie's girlfriend.

  "Lin Ge, you go take a look, don't worry about us anymore." Xing Ye didn't want Lin Jun Jie to be troubled, let alone the fact that if he didn't go, that girl named Jin Wei Wei wouldn't give up either.

  "Yes, since Uncle and Aunt are there, let's go say hello." Hao Tianyang also spoke up.

  "Alright, I'll go say hi and come back, you guys order first." Lin Junjie followed Jin Weiwei out.

  "How rude." Jia Kai couldn't stand Jin Weiwei's arrogance.

  Xīng yè zì rán zhī dào tā shuō de shì shuí, wēi wēi yī xiào "rén piàoliang, jiāshì yòu hǎo, nán miǎn jiāozòng le diǎn."

  Translation:

  Xing Ye naturally knew who he was talking about, and smiled slightly. "He's handsome, with a good family background, it's hard to avoid being arrogant."

  "Is she pretty? I don't think so. I especially dislike girls with eyes that are too big for their face." Jia Kai said discontentedly.

  "If you tell her that you are the young master of the mayor's family, her eyes will be on top of her head." Hao Tianyang said with a smile.

  "By the way, what does Lin's family do? They seem to be very rich?" Xing Ye asked curiously.

  His family has been in the antique business for generations. The Wanbao Pavilion and Moyun Xuan in the city are all his family's.

  "In recent years, he has also been involved in the pawnbroking business and seems to have an auction house as well." Ka said what he knew.

  "No wonder they have money, it's all from profiteering industries."

  "They had only one son in their family, but he didn't like to inherit the family business, so he always disagreed with his father." Hao Tianyang added.

  The stars twinkle at night, poor people have their own troubles, and rich people don't necessarily have no worries.
