This abrupt yet delightful voice immediately attracted the gaze of Ye Xunhuan and the others.

The next moment, a tall, fair-skinned man with a beaming smile strode towards Ye Xunhuan.

Although the man was handsome with fair skin, his jet-black hair shone brightly.

But the shine was actually due to the grease from not washing his hair for a long time.

Ye Xunhuan was slightly surprised upon seeing this person.

Wei Zixu?

This guy is still in Jiangzhong City and didn’t leave?

Since the last time Ye Xunhuan and Wei Zixu had a fight and then had a meal together, Ye Xunhuan hadn’t seen Wei Zixu.

Originally thought he had returned to the capital, but unexpectedly, he hadn’t left and was still in Jiangzhong City!

"Why are you still in Jiangzhong City and haven’t gone back?" Ye Xunhuan asked softly, looking at Wei Zixu who had walked up to him.

"I haven’t gone to bother you, why do you care if I leave or not?" Wei Zixu replied irritably, "Or do you want me to harass you every day!"

"I’ll harass your uncle!" Ye Xunhuan swore directly, "If you dare come to bother me, I’ll make sure you’re unable to take care of yourself!"

Wei Zixu didn’t take Ye Xunhuan’s threat to heart at all, and even disdainfully sneered!

Ye Xunhuan didn’t mind Wei Zixu’s disregard for his threat and instead curiously asked, "Why are you here?"

"You think I like appearing here!" Wei Zixu said helplessly, "Yan Qingdi insisted on inviting me for dinner, and I couldn’t refuse, so I had to come!"

"There are things you can’t refuse?" Ye Xunhuan asked skeptically.

Now Ye Xunhuan knew about this guy’s glorious deeds, so he absolutely didn’t believe Wei Zixu’s words.

If he didn’t want to come, even if Yan Qingdi put a knife to his neck, it probably wouldn’t work, and of course, Yan Qingdi wouldn’t dare!

If he angered Wei Zixu, Wei Zixu would definitely let Yan Qingdi know what a true KTV is!

On the side, Dongfang Shu trembled slightly upon hearing Wei Zixu’s words, and was filled with curiosity.

Who was this seemingly scruffy young man who could make Yan Qingdi insist on inviting him for dinner!

After all, Yan Qingdi is a top playboy at the pinnacle of the pyramid, and someone he insists on inviting for dinner is definitely not ordinary.

What’s more, Wei Zixu is still so young, which indicates his status...

Wei Zixu chuckled, feeling a bit embarrassed, "Actually, I refused initially, but I’ve been a bit tight on funds lately, so..."

"You’re short on money?"

"Wouldn’t be if it weren’t for you!"

"How the hell is it my fault!" Ye Xunhuan asked, annoyed.

"How is it your fault?" Wei Zixu snorted, "Last time you ate me up, costing me tens of thousands, screwed me over, left me poor like in the days before liberation..."

Ye Xunhuan suddenly felt embarrassed.

Last time, Wei Zixu treated him to dinner, and he did indeed eat a lot.

But with Wei Zixu’s status, it shouldn’t be possible for just one meal to impoverish him!

"Your dad doesn’t give you money?"

"Do I look like someone who relies on his dad?"

"Not really!" Ye Xunhuan said very seriously, "You are originally..."

"Scram!"

"Are you really short on money?" Ye Xunhuan asked softly.

"Duh, otherwise that jerk Yan Qingdi wouldn’t dream of sitting with me for a meal!"

"How much short?"

"You’re going to lend me?" Wei Zixu looked at Ye Xunhuan with a flattering smile.

Seeing Wei Zixu’s smile, Ye Xunhuan felt a shiver run down his spine, "I’m warning you, I’m not into that..."

"If you lend me money, I wouldn’t mind letting you have a go!"

Ye Xunhuan looked at Wei Zixu with a scowl, "Don’t gross me out with that crap, how much do you need?"

Wei Zixu thought for a moment, "If I were to borrow fifty or eighty thousand from you, you’d definitely feel insulted, how about this, a million or so, just lend whatever..."

A million is an astronomical figure for the average office worker, but Wei Zixu thought for someone like Ye Xunhuan, it was a piece of cake.

Not only does his aunt have money, even his wife is a wealthy lady, practically swimming in a sea of gold.

"No!" Ye Xunhuan blurted out, "I’m not running a bank, how about a thousand?"

"Damn, Ye Xunhuan, don’t be so stingy, you ruined me this bad, if it weren’t for you..."

"Five hundred..."

"You..."

"Three hundred!"

"Ye bro, Grandpa Huan, I’m sorry!" Wei Zixu pleaded with a pained expression, as if he had lost his parents, looking extremely miserable.

At this moment, Dongfang Shu suddenly spoke up, "Little brother, someone asks you for money, and you’ve got it, why make it hard for them!"

"Cutie, why don’t I lend you?" Dongfang Shu offered kindly to Wei Zixu.

Although she didn’t know Wei Zixu’s exact identity, nor understood his relationship with Ye Xunhuan.

But someone Yan Qingdi invites for dinner isn’t simple.

So, Dongfang Shu wanted to win over Wei Zixu first, even if they couldn’t become direct friends, there’d be slow opportunities to develop into friends.

In other words, Dongfang Shu wanted to take advantage.

Upon hearing Dongfang Shu’s suggestion, Wei Zixu furrowed his brows, "Who are you? Just because you offer money, I have to take it?"

Despite Dongfang Shu’s eloquence, Wei Zixu’s words left her unsure how to respond, with an embarrassed expression.

"Ye Xunhuan, your friend?" Wei Zixu slowly turned his gaze to Ye Xunhuan.

"Sort of."

"Be cautious making friends, don’t just befriend anyone!" Wei Zixu said calmly, "Knowing a face doesn’t mean knowing the heart, painting a tiger takes more than the skin!"

Though known as a madman, Wei Zixu wasn’t stupid; in fact, he was clever, immediately seeing Dongfang Shu’s intent to befriend him.

But Wei Zixu wasn’t someone who befriends just anyone; if he were, he wouldn’t be Wei Zixu.

Upon hearing Wei Zixu’s words, fury flashed in the depths of Dongfang Shu’s eyes, but she maintained composure without outward response.

At this point, Du Siheng’s furrowed brow smoothed, and he beamed at Wei Zixu, hesitantly saying, "Are you the young Wei?"

"Who might you be?"

"Du Siheng from Donghai, I visited the capital the year before last, and met Mr. Wei. We had a brief encounter then, do you recall this humble old man?"
