Peninsula: After Bai Yueguang left, I went crazy killing people!

Chapter 973 As Long As the Money Is In (Three Extra Chapters!)

"Why do you still prefer such a simple bar after all these years?"

In the chaotic bar, Lee Ji-eun looked at the somewhat dejected Bae Suzy across from her and said irritably, "And besides, you never bring anyone else, but you always bring me here whenever you're feeling down. It's hard to imagine that this isn't some kind of preferential treatment!"

"Nonsense!"

Bae Suzy tossed her loose hair and emphasized irritably, "This is my secret base, a place I only bring my closest friends to!"

As she spoke, her gaze swept around her surroundings, and a hint of melancholy appeared on her face.

"Fine, I really don't understand you!"

Lee Ji-eun said irritably, "I really don't know what it is about this place that attracts you."

Even while speaking, he didn't forget to pour her a drink.

no way.

Best friend?
Despite her dislike and displeasure, the fact that Lee Ji-eun was still called out for drinks by a phone call speaks volumes about her status.

What attracts me to it?

Bae Suzy had brought Lee Ji-eun here many times, but it seemed like this was the first time her friend had asked her this question, and she was momentarily at a loss for words.

She subconsciously looked around, and the melancholy in her eyes seemed to grow even stronger.

The bar has been renovated again and again, and customers have come and gone. Familiar faces from my school days are gone, and the environment has changed dramatically since many years ago.

Bae Suzy didn't know what she was persisting in.

Over the years, perhaps the only thing that hasn't changed is oneself?
wrong.

I've changed too!

She's no longer the timid, anxious, and fearful little girl who entered a bar for the first time, yet also eager for excitement.

"do not know!"

Bae Suzy provided the answer: she didn't know what she was persisting in either.

"If you don't know, then drink!"

Lee Ji-eun clinked glasses with her, the refreshing liquor flowing down her throat. After putting down her glass, she spoke first: "Tell me, what happened this time that made our Soo-ji so down that she came to ask me to come out for a drink?"

Life is naturally not always smooth sailing.

Everyone needs an outlet for their emotions, or you could say a dumping ground for negative energy.

Lee Ji-eun and Bae Suzy have been accustomed to sharing their troubles with each other for many years, which has become the norm. They both know some of each other's little secrets that are unknown to outsiders.

So Bae Suzy didn't hold back. Upon hearing this, she couldn't help but give a wry smile and say, "I always feel like he's avoiding me."

"Hiding from you?"

Lee Ji-eun was puzzled for a moment, then quickly asked, "Who, him, Li Yang?"

She seemed a little surprised, and soon almost burst out laughing, saying, "Weren't you very confident before? You said things like 'the white moonlight is back,' 'I'll crush all the mistresses,' and you had the air of a king ruling the world. It's only been a few days, and you've already made such a fool of yourself?"

When Lee Ji-eun said this, she made no attempt to hide the happiness on her face.

It was a kind of exhilarating feeling that evolved from the anger of disappointment and frustration.

no way.

She had warned Pei Xiuzhi long ago that Li Yang was no longer the innocent Xiao Chunan she remembered. The current Li Yang was more cunning than a honeycomb briquette, especially since she had approached him with some ulterior motive.
To put it bluntly, even a dog barks twice when it eats a bone, but that bastard Li Yang's mood changes faster than turning the pages of a book.

If it were that simple, I would have taken it down long ago. Why would I need to wait for you to come back?

Lee Ji-eun thought about it, then couldn't help but shake her head.

Then again, if Li Yang weren't the Li Yang he is now, I probably wouldn't be interested in him at all.

"I didn't know back then that Li Yang had not only Zhang Yuanying by his side, but also Bae Zhuxuan. I thought it was only..." Bae Suzy paused, seemingly realizing something.

Lee Ji-eun raised an eyebrow, her eyes gradually turning dangerous, and snorted, "You thought I was the only one being ambiguous with him, huh?" "I only know that Eun-jung was filming that show with him back then," Bae Suzy answered vaguely, taking a sip of wine to cover her embarrassment.

In reality, she had only anticipated one love rival and Lee Ji-eun, an ambiguous relationship.

Who can think of
Bae Suzy felt a terrible headache whenever she thought of the beautiful and youthful Jang Won-young, and then of the famous Bae Joo-hyun.
Sometimes, the power of one plus one is not just as simple as two.

Moreover, Bae Suzy has a good understanding of men's character.

Thinking about it that way, it suddenly became even more difficult.

But soon, looking at the calm Lee Ji-eun, she seemed to realize something and couldn't help but ask, "You...you didn't know all along, did you?"

"what do you know?"

"You know that Li Yang has two girlfriends?"

Lee Ji-eun didn't speak, but raised an eyebrow at Bae Suzy, secretly wondering how she would react if she knew that Lee Yang had more than two girlfriends.

"Okay, I knew it after all." Lee Ji-eun didn't say anything, but her expression confirmed the answer.

"really."

Bae Soo-ji shook her head and sighed, "I should have known that I shouldn't underestimate that guy's charm when you were always subtly asking me about Li Yang's preferences. I just didn't expect that even my best friend would fall for him."

As he spoke, he glanced at Lee Ji-eun, his eyes conveying the meaning perfectly.

Of course, there was no dissatisfaction.

Just as she could openly admit her plan to steal Li Yang away, it was also within her understanding that Li Zhi'en was keeping some information about Li Yang from her.

It would be great if we really fell.

Lee Ji-eun couldn't help but smile wryly upon hearing this. If she were truly smitten, she would probably be willing to give up everything to pursue him without having to worry about all sorts of other things.

Unlike now, I both like it and am clear-headed, clearly knowing where I should step on the boundary, which is incredibly painful.

"Stop talking, let's drink!"

Lee Ji-eun raised her glass and declared, "We won't leave until we're drunk!"

Bae Suzy also raised her glass and clinked it on the table.

Meanwhile, on the other side...
When Bae Joo-hyun said something like "touch your abs," Li Yang was so surprised his jaw almost dropped to the ground.

He didn't take the money. Instead, he immediately placed his palm on Bae Joo-hyun's forehead, which was as smooth and delicate as warm jade. He sensed it briefly and then muttered to himself, "Wait a minute, she doesn't have a fever!"

The next moment, his arm was slapped off.

Bae Joo-hyun said with dissatisfaction, "Is this how you treat your sugar daddy?"

As he spoke, he waved the banknotes in his hand, his clear eyes gleaming with a cunning light in the dim light. Then, mimicking a bar patron from a TV drama, he said, "Tell me, do you want to earn this money or not?"

"Yes, of course I do!"

Realizing what was happening, Li Yang immediately flashed a standard professional smile and then took Bae Joo-hyun's small hand and placed it on his abs.

The cool, soft, and smooth little hand gave Li Yang an instant urge to return the money.

Bae Joo-hyun was a little nervous at first, but then, perhaps stimulated by the alcohol, she gradually became bolder, her fair hands wandering around as if she were savoring the moment.

half an hour.

She suddenly turned to Li Yang with disdain and said, "Ugh, you're just going to do anything as long as you pay me? You're such a casual man!"

"So that's all you're going to do?" Li Yang seemed amused and chuckled.

"Could you be any more casual?" Bae Joo-hyun couldn't help but widen her eyes, which was actually quite cute.

Li Yang thought for a moment, then leaned closer and whispered in her ear, "As long as the money is right..."

As he spoke, he slowly lowered that little hand.
