Chapter 140: So This Is How Cheap I Am
But if he didn’t act rashly, would he just watch this beautiful woman Mei Ruyan fly away?
The duck that’s already in hand flies away—this is something Zhao can’t accept. Thinking of this, he stubbornly threw out his final move.
"Bro, let’s talk business. I’ll give you this amount to borrow your girlfriend for a day, how about it?"
Zhao stretched out five fingers.
"Five hundred?"
Lin Tian was startled by Zhao’s sudden words and quickly asked in cooperation.
This scene nearly made Mei Ruyan, who was standing by the hospital bed, explode. She was just a moment away from pinching Lin Tian hard, but seeing the fleeting wicked smile at the corner of Lin Tian’s mouth, she held back the thought in the end.
"Huh?"
Zhao had intended to say five thousand, but upon hearing Lin Tian mention this price, he immediately nodded.
Being away from home, there are many places needing money, so he should save where he can. If something can be settled for 500 yuan, why be a sucker and spend 5000?
"Tsk, tsk!"
Lin Tian shook his head with a sighing attitude, turning to educate Mei Ruyan: "Honey, did you see that?"
"In this society, there are always some men who like to pretend to be something they’re not. Never mind the big gold chain around the neck, they only want to spend 500 yuan to have you for a day. How does such a pauper even have the nerve to try to win you over?"
Lin Tian’s words almost made Mei Ruyan burst into laughter. She held back her mirth and nodded in agreement with Lin Tian’s remarks: "Yeah, 500 yuan isn’t worthy of that big gold chain!"
"Someone who thinks he’s so great but is actually just a useless trash, isn’t he?"
Lin Tian’s words were harsh enough, but Mei Ruyan’s directly rubbed salt into Zhao’s wounds.
Zhao’s whole face turned green. He had nodded with the thought of saving money, but he hadn’t anticipated this outcome.
Besides, 500 isn’t a small amount. He had long been familiar with the going rates for such things given his indulgent lifestyle.
was already considered high.
But didn’t expect Lin Tian to mock like this, and from a sick person?
This directly pushed Zhao’s limits, causing him to verge on losing control.
As for Mei Ruyan’s remarks, they directly enraged him, and he responded sharply: "Why don’t you see if I’m useless or not?"
"Zhao, are you done or not? You can’t even get a woman’s phone number and still call yourself a love sage; are you here to be funny?"
While Zhao was upset, a teasing male voice echoed from outside the ward.
"Zhao? Love sage?"
Lin Tian heard Zhao’s buddy taunt and started laughing. If his hands could move, he would’ve laughed his head off.
This guy actually calls himself a love sage?
If it weren’t for having a stack of money in hand?
Even a sow wouldn’t look at him!
Daring to claim to be a love sage, isn’t he overestimating himself?
"What’s so funny? Shut up!"
Zhao shouted sharply, impatiently calling to the outside: "Damn it, all of you shut up and wait for my good news!"
His words instantly silenced everyone outside the ward, suggesting Zhao’s unusual status.
But no matter how unusual his status was, to Lin Tian, everyone was the same; annoy him enough, and it’s on.
"Forget 500, too insincere!"
Lin Tian said with disdain.
Mei Ruyan suddenly felt a surge of wanting to murder Lin Tian. Whose side was this guy on?
It felt like he and Zhao were together, aiming to sell her for a good price?
Zhao was thrilled at this time, seeing Lin Tian even pursuing the price, thinking he really wanted to sell his girlfriend, he immediately stretched out five fingers again: "What about 5000?"
"Alright, deal!"
Lin Tian almost nodded in agreement without hesitation.
The 5000 price gave Zhao some heartache, but looking at Mei Ruyan’s pretty face, icy aura, and curvy, tall figure, he silently assured himself it was worth the price.
"Then I’ll have someone give you the money later; the girl can come with me?"
Once the price was settled, Zhao confidently waved at Mei Ruyan, signaling her to come over.
At that moment, Mei Ruyan stared at Lin Tian, wanting to see what he truly meant?
Selling her for 5000 without even asking her opinion?
This kind of man—she truly misjudged, thinking he was different from other men, but turned out all crows in the world were black.
"Cash, first, then talk!"
Lin Tian’s hands couldn’t move, or else he would’ve held out his hand for it.
"Alright, wait!"
Zhao knew he didn’t have enough cash, so he immediately walked outside the ward.
As soon as Zhao left the ward, the moment the door closed, Mei Ruyan coldly asked, "Lin Tian! What do you mean?"
"Don’t speak, enjoy the show!"
Without needing to see Mei Ruyan’s look, just hearing her tone, Lin Tian knew she was angry. He coaxingly said: "Our Ruyan is so beautiful, with a great figure and enough cold demeanor to give men a sense of conquest. 5000 isn’t enough. If I were your boyfriend, even 50,000 wouldn’t sell you!"
Any woman enjoys being praised for her beauty. Though Mei Ruyan was cold, she was still a woman. Hearing Lin Tian praise her, her heart inexplicably filled with happiness, but when she heard further, her recently uplifted mood instantly turned angry again.
What do you mean by even 50,000 isn’t enough?
I’m priceless. To find someone truly appreciated, to accompany for a lifetime, that’s the happiness she wanted.
Unfortunately, the jerks around her couldn’t see... beneath that icy mask is a passionate, restless heart.
Just as Mei Ruyan was pondering silently, Zhao rushed back into the ward, now holding a black wallet, opening it and counting money as he walked.
A thick wad of red bills appeared in his hand. After quickly counting dozens of sheets, he directly threw them onto Lin Tian’s hospital bed: "Haven’t counted carefully; it’s roughly 5000. If it’s too much, keep it; if not enough, I’ll add more!"
Such a generous style, fully displaying the air of a rich man unafraid of spending.
Zhao’s actions made Lin Tian silently ponder, and at the same time, he memorized this: one day if he ever showed off to impress a girl, he definitely had to use this tactic.
"Count the money!"
To ensure there was indeed 5000, not to be shortchanged, Lin Tian raised his head and instructed Mei Ruyan.
Despite her strong reluctance, Mei Ruyan thought of Lin Tian’s earlier suggestion to "stay silent and watch the show," nodding silently, picking up the thick wad of red bills, and started checking.
The more money she counted, the worse Mei Ruyan felt.
Although she didn’t know what Lin Tian was up to, the money in her hand was her selling price!
yuan... turns out I’m that cheap!
