“You’ll see if I dare do that. I’m not afraid of you,” Xuan Xiaoran said with little shame.

“The red wine is 1.28 million. Now that you drank half of it, I’ll add 500 thousand to your tab,” Hua Jinan said calmly.

“Huh? 500 thousand? Are you here with me to drink wine or to loosen my wallet? I’m not giving in.” Xuan Xiaoran stood abruptly and shouted loudly.

He was really picky about his money. Really, really picky.

For him to spend a little of his money was like taking away a portion of his heart.

“You seemed to have stored all your money at Huashi Bank. I own the bank, so I can deduct some for you.”

“I’m telling you, you’re breaking the law.”

Hua Jinan caressed his forehead gently. “You’re right.” He then raised his head and said, “I heard that you bought 200 million worth of dividends? This seems to be a high-risk fund without any sort of guarantee. If it drops too much, you would lose a lot of money.”

Xuan Xiaoran smiled without any fear. “I know that you would not do that. If that happens, you’d be the one more affected than me.”

“I don’t care! I have all the money I want. So much that I don’t even know how to spend it!” Hua Jinan said with a carefree tone, arrogance displayed through his eyes.

“Hua Jinan, you think that money is everything? Did you know how many people committed suicide because of that mentality? You selfish scum!” Xuan Xiaoran stomped angrily.

Hua Jinan pursed his lips and put down the wine glass he had been holding. Evil could be seen in his eyes. “I will compensate for the others.”

Xuan Xiaoran looked at Hua Jinan angrily. After a while, he lowered his head, and said, “All right. Cash or check.”

He knew his rotten friend could do anything he fancied.

Just thinking about the money he had lost to him made his heart bleed.

“Check,” Hua Jinan replied.

Xuan Xiaoran reluctantly took out a piece of check and filled it in, signed it with a heavy heart, and placed it on the table. “You’d better not find me this week, or else, I’ll burn your whole house down.”

As he saw his friend leave, Hua Jinan could not resist smiling.

He took the check, opened his drawer, and placed it inside the drawer.

Inside the drawer were countless other checks with Xuan Xiaoran’s name on it.

Sometimes, when one has too much going on with them, they need an outlet to release the stress.

Sometimes you just gotta try your luck!

He slowly shook his wine glass and the red fluid inside it swirled along with the glass. As he looked outside the window through the wine glass, the world seemed to change.

He needed to add some color to his world.

That woman’s face spelled trouble to him.

How dare that woman try to terminate his child!

How dare she?

The second day…

In a hospital, Su Bei was anxiously sitting in the corridor, while Lin Chuxia went to find her friend that worked in the hospital.

Su Bei did not want to meet anybody, so she sat there.

She did not know whether this hospital would be willing to accept her or not.

Lin Chuxia walked in front of Su Bei, her eyes reddening. “Su Bei, I’m really sorry…” As she spoke, tears came flowing out of her eyes.

Su Bei reached out her hand to wipe the tears on her face and smiled. “You idiot. Why are you crying?”

She predicted that this would happen. Even though she was a bit disappointed, she was much calmer than the first few times that it had happened in the past.

Lin Chuxia wiped her tears and said, “Beibei, if we can’t do it here, we don’t have anywhere else we can go. What should we do?”

Su Bei smiled. “It’s okay. When there’s a will, there’s gotta be a way. If this won’t do, then I’ll just give birth. I’ve always liked children.”

Lin Chuxia knew that she was trying to comfort her, and she cried even louder.
