"Qin Lian Yue wants to see me?"
Hearing Tang Wu Zui's words, Shen Lang was slightly taken aback and asked, "Why does Miss Qin suddenly want to see me?"
"I don't know. If you want to know the answer, you can ask her yourself."
Tang Wu Zui looked at Shen Lang and smiled, "She's living with me. You can see her when you take me back."
"Alright, let's go then."
Tang Wu Zui had helped Shen Lang with such a significant favor, earning him nine hundred billion. Shen Lang felt he should reciprocate this benefactor of wealth.
Soon, Tang Wu Zui and Shen Lang left. After Tang Wu Zui got into Shen Lang's car, Shen Lang drove her back to her residence.
However, neither Shen Lang nor Tang Wu Zui knew that as they left the front desk of Dream Paris Club, Tang Wan Er, who was coming downstairs, suddenly saw Tang Wu Zui and was visibly shocked.
It was clear that Tang Wan Er not only recognized Tang Wu Zui but was also very familiar with her.
Half an hour later, Shen Lang had already driven away with Tang Wu Zui. It was only then that Tang Wan Er walked out of the Dream Paris Club, saying with disbelief, "Tang Wu Zui, how is she in Nan Ling? Didn't she disappear from this world?"
That's right, Tang Wan Er did know Tang Wu Zui, and they had a relationship unknown to outsiders.
Three years ago, Tang Wan Er had heard that Tang Wu Zui had died in a car crash explosion. She never expected to see Tang Wu Zui again here today, making Tang Wan Er doubt if she was mistaken.
However, Tang Wan Er soon dismissed the thought of being mistaken because that person was indeed Tang Wu Zui.
Tang Wu Zui was a very unique person; anyone who saw her would remember her.
Tang Wu Zui's youthful, clean face and sweet smile were unforgettable, and people would remember her forever.
Yet, in Tang Wan Er's eyes, Tang Wu Zui and Shen Lang were from different worlds. How did these two people get involved? Perhaps Tang Wan Er should put some effort into finding out from Shen Lang.
Ten minutes later, Shen Lang dropped Tang Wu Zui off at her apartment. After parking the car, Shen Lang followed Tang Wu Zui upstairs.
Upon entering, Shen Lang finally understood how luxurious Tang Wu Zui's apartment, which cost twenty thousand yuan a month, truly was.
It was a three-bedroom, one-living room apartment, not only luxuriously decorated but also furnished with pieces that started from hundreds of thousands each.
At this moment, Shen Lang realized Tang Wu Zui was a wealthy woman.
This woman, clearly a rich heiress, worked as a receptionist everywhere and took on various part-time jobs. One would think she was so poor she couldn't make ends meet.
"Shen Lang, please sit anywhere you like. Make yourself at home, don't be shy."
In the living room, Qin Lian Yue was doing Pilates on a machine. Qin Lian Yue, already with a sexy and hot figure, looked even more alluring and fiery in her yoga attire, almost making Shen Lang's nose bleed.
Seeing Shen Lang, Qin Lian Yue smiled and said, "Sit down first. I'll come and keep you company after I finish my workout."
After speaking, Qin Lian Yue continued her workout. It wasn't until five minutes later that she got off the machine.
Her clothes were soaked with sweat, making Qin Lian Yue's voluptuous figure even more apparent, causing Shen Lang to unconsciously swallow.
"Shen Lang, you rascal, it's good to see you again."
Qin Lian Yue took two bottles of water from the refrigerator and handed one to Shen Lang, saying, "You saved me last time, and I haven't properly thanked you yet. I heard you have grudges with Qi Tuo Jiang and Kong Wu Dao. Coincidentally, I'm childhood friends with them. How about I help you resolve it?"
Shen Lang took the bottled water Qin Lian Yue gave him and realized it was the legendary, expensive mineral water costing three hundred yuan. This made Shen Lang lament the saying, "While the rich feast on meat and wine, the poor starve on the streets."
Rich people spent three hundred yuan on a bottle of water, while in some places, people worked hard for a month and might not earn three hundred yuan.
This world was truly unfair, yet there was nothing one could do about it.
Seeing the complex expression on Shen Lang's face, Qin Lian Yue smiled and asked, "What, do you think this mineral water is too extravagant?"
"A bottle of mineral water costing three hundred yuan is indeed a bit extravagant, but you won't feel that way once you get used to it."
Qin Lian Yue looked at Shen Lang and said, "I've been drinking this brand of mineral water since I was a child. In my opinion, mineral water should taste like this. If you ask me to drink other brands, I'd rather not drink water at all."
"Shen Lang, ignore her. She's just a pampered young lady who knows nothing about hardship. If this were ancient times, she'd be the type to say, 'Why not eat meat porridge?'"
At this moment, Tang Wu Zui walked over and sneered at Qin Lian Yue.
"Tang Wu Zui, you've known me for more than a day. I've always been like this and have never hidden it from you."
Qin Lian Yue chugged the water in her bottle and directly threw the empty bottle into the trash can. She said to Tang Wu Zui, "Am I, the dignified Miss Qin, not even allowed to drink a bottle of water that costs three hundred yuan?"
"You can, of course, you can. If you want to drink one that costs eight hundred, you can. Who told you to be rich."
Tang Wu Zui said with a smile.
"Tang Wu Zui, at least you're speaking like a human now."
Qin Lian Yue laughed and said, "That's just how the world is. Some people can only afford a three-yuan instant noodle meal, while others can down a bottle of water worth three hundred yuan in one gulp. To change the poverty of eating three-yuan noodles, one must strive. Similarly, to maintain the lifestyle of drinking a three-hundred-yuan bottle of water, one also needs to work hard."
Hearing Qin Lian Yue's words, both Tang Wu Zui and Shen Lang found themselves unable to refute. Miss Qin was indeed very persuasive.
Looking at the three-hundred-yuan bottle of mineral water in his hand, Shen Lang finally couldn't resist his curiosity and opened it for a sip.
In fact, Shen Lang found that this supposedly magical natural mineral water wasn't much better than the mountain spring water from Qiu Long Mountain.
He had to admit that it was indeed unfair. The same water, when put in a water jar or a bottle, commanded entirely different prices.
Shen Lang did not refute Qin Lian Yue's words because there was no need. It was Qin Lian Yue's lifestyle, just as it would be wrong to ask someone who had only eaten imported beef since childhood to eat beef from the local market. Everyone's lifestyle and values should be respected.
Although he didn't refute Qin Lian Yue's words, Shen Lang directly refused her offer to help resolve his enmity with Qi Tuo Jiang and Kong Wu Dao, saying, "Thank you for your kindness, Miss Qin. However, my situation with Qi Tuo Jiang and the others is not an enmity but a mortal feud."
