Chapter 1090: Chapter 1090: Praising Him to the Skies with No Equal on Earth

“Even in terms of character, you can’t compare to him. At least my boyfriend won’t stay at my place and criticize me like you do. He’s the type who’ll wash the dishes after I cook, even if it’s not tasty, he won’t complain. Can you say the same? I’ve heard you’re still sponging off your girlfriend’s rented apartment. I just want to ask, where do you get the confidence to think you’ll soar to great heights? Even if someday you do, you haven’t yet, and here you are demanding this and that from others. Bro, did you look at yourself in the mirror before you left the house?”

Li Shengxiao just watched the nosy little woman praise him to the skies, feeling somehow pleased. It was as if a spring breeze had brushed his chest, causing the softest part of his heart to cave in a little. He put down his chopsticks and suddenly felt that he could do better, giving her more to brag about in front of others.

Rong Yan straightened her back and spoke in a relaxed tone, “In conclusion, regarding your claim that you could still get a girl like me once you have the money, I seriously doubt it.”

The guy with glasses turned red in the face after her scathing words, especially with Li Shengxiao sitting right behind him, the most powerful proof of her point. As a man, he felt he couldn’t compare to him. After a few seconds of deadlock, he made up an excuse and scurried away, leaving the girl behind.

The girl probably didn’t expect her boyfriend to be such a coward, to just run off and leave her there, dumbfounded and nearly in tears, “My money’s all with him, and I haven’t paid for the hot and sour noodles yet…”

She had been dating this guy for a year and a half. Her personality was straightforward and carefree; she wasn’t one to fuss over money and usually let her boyfriend handle it. She had originally wanted to have steak for lunch today, but he didn’t like it and insisted on taking her for hot and sour noodles instead. She was in such a hurry coming out that she even left her phone at the office. Now that he had run off first, how would she settle the bill?

Feeling both angry and upset, Rong Yan’s words had hit her like a sudden awakening, and seeing her boyfriend run off without looking back, not even bothering to settle the bill for her, made her even more furious.

Her eyes reddened and she didn’t know where to put her hands, but she didn’t forget Rong Yan was still there, holding back her confusion and apologizing, “Rong Yan, I’m sorry. My boyfriend said a lot of unpleasant things, and I brought him to apologize to you.”

Rong Yan saw her helpless look and gently patted her shoulder, “I wasn’t right either. I shouldn’t have lashed out at him just now; it seems like I affected your relationship.”

The girl was close to crying, shaking her head and now much clearer-headed, “No, I should thank you for letting me see him for who he is. You were right; there’s a difference between a person and a scumbag. I really doubted myself because of him, thinking I wasn’t good enough for him. Now that I think about it… he’s just like that anyway. I’ll have a serious talk with him when I get back.”

If Rong Yan hadn’t spoken up, she would have been swindled again. Right, he was living off her, staying in an apartment she had rented; what gave him any right to be so picky and critical of her?

Such a man lacked both grace and manners, full of himself, and chased away at the first sign of trouble, never once considering that his girlfriend didn’t have money on her and he left as quickly as he could. What was the point of being with such a man? She wasn’t foolish enough to wait until he made it big only to be dumped by him.

Rong Yan saw the girl’s reddened eyes, her despondent look, and was inexplicably reminded of the time when Shi Mufeng had toyed with her own feelings. She sighed, “Your money is all with your boyfriend, right? I’ll take care of the bill for you. Where do you work? I’ll drop you off on my way.”
