Chapter 219: Chapter 219

Who doesn’t like gossip?

A group of people were intently watching, even Jin Siya was curious to know how exactly Chu River’s ex-boyfriend was "useless"...

It’s not really curiosity; it’s just simple concern for their girlfriend.

Chu River sighed and tenderly touched the back of her own hand: "That loser wanted to freeload without actually being capable—didn’t know how to dress up and improve himself, physically weak, and embarrassing to be around—I saw no potential, so I broke up."

Jin Siya and Hu Yun whispered to each other: "Got it, got it... just the same old thing, doesn’t know how to learn anything new, Little Chu might have gotten bored."

Hu Yun understood clearly: "Not only that, probably didn’t work out so no abs, weak body, couldn’t keep up with Little Chu’s pace."

As soon as the word ’pace’ was mentioned, both of their faces turned a little red.

Immediately, Haitang synchronized their thoughts, all feeling like they’ve uncovered the truth.

However, Chen Jingbai and the other two were dumbfounded.

It’s because of Chu River’s image—ponytail, white T-shirt, jeans, canvas shoes, fresh-faced, delicate and pretty—

If these words came from a big sister with fiery red lips, they wouldn’t have felt out of place.

"’Ahem.’ After a long time, Chen Jingbai finally regained his composure:

"So... then you definitely should’ve broken up. You can’t keep a man who mooches."

After saying this, Chu He looked at him disapprovingly: "We’re all men, it’s not easy for anyone; you shouldn’t have such a narrow-minded view."

"Freeloading is a skill too, but doing it shamelessly is very unprofessional; I broke up with him because he lacked ethics, not because he freeloaded."

In this world, the original Chu River was morally crushed by the term "despising the poor and loving the rich," ending up in ruin, so she wanted to be grounded, and learn and use more, gaining experience.

After all, for Chu Fa Da, if you want to freeload, you must have the conditions to do so—just like how men have requirements for women—being presentable outside, and virtuous and considerate at home.

The same goes for men!

Never be slovenly, don’t manage your appearance, and can’t sweet talk or be virtuous and considerate.

Honestly, this makes a lot of sense.

Fatty was dumbfounded for a long time, then burst into roaring laughter like a chubby duck in Chen Jingbai’s complex expression.

"Hahaha, my apologies, so you’re a rich lady, sister... Sister, I’m hungry, food, food!"

Suddenly she remembered her last few hundred bucks in savings.

The computer parts would be delivered within the city that night, but her wallet was also empty.

This amount of money was just enough for one or two meals.

She thought about it: "Can you make money writing novels?" Check latest chapters at N0v3l.Fiɾe.net

Fatty exclaimed: "Well, if you write well, you can make hundreds of thousands or even millions, but if not, it might be hard to even make a living."

Chu Fa Da immediately perked up—

"Then I must be at the top."

A man who’d been silent all along next to Fatty suddenly gulped down his beer:

"Honestly, before I flopped, I thought I could seal my name in one book too."

Six people sat together chatting, finding it more fulfilling than drinking and clubbing, Jin Siya was laughing out loud at the reader comments Fatty was talking about, yet in the semi-open booth, someone passing by suddenly took two steps back up the steps:

Chen Jingbai looked up and found the other person staring straight at Chu River with a hostile expression, unable to help frowning.

Chu River turned her head, calm and indifferent: "Oh, Zhu Yuwen."

The main male lead’s top little follower, who soared to success following him, also the one leaving urgent messages in the friend’s circle... matched the profile.

Chen Jingbai smiled gracefully, having that ’green-tea’ vibe: "Your friend? Wanna chat together?"

Chu River shook her head: "A friend of my ex-boyfriend, nothing to talk about—after all, he’s a weak man, getting too close to me could easily lead to misunderstandings."

This was Su Tiankuo’s fault again—because he accused his ex-girlfriend of not only despising the poor and loving the rich but also being indiscreet, getting into any man’s car easily.

For crying out loud, it’s the 21st century, why can’t Didi have a substitute driver!

Meituan’s substitute driver would work too!

Yet this was ambiguous wording—how exactly is a weak man weak? He just looks ordinary!

Jin Siya and Hu Yun shivered—what to do, ever since they met Little Chu tonight, it felt like it opened their mind to Haitang, and nothing seemed pure anymore.

The few were talking amongst themselves, but Zhu Yuwen was about to explode in anger:

"You turned out to be such a person! Flirting around outside, no wonder when Su Tiankuo fainted you didn’t even care, just immediately talked about breaking up—he just wasn’t settled in his job temporarily, and you think he’s unpromising. What, did you climb up a higher branch again?"
