Chapter 1229 The sharp-tongued He Chen comes to support Xia Huakui! (Day 93, Saturday, please vote!)

Lu Tao's rented room.

Charlene sat at the table, applying makeup in front of the mirror.

Lu Tao sat opposite him, his expression mirroring that of the elderly man on the subway looking at his phone.

It is said that for couples, especially those deeply in love, the greatest pleasure in the bedroom is drawing eyebrows.

He did like it quite a bit before.

But now he can't stand this.

"Charlene, I don't like you coming to my place for half a day every day, putting on makeup in front of me as it gets dark, and then leaving. When you do that, it makes me think of some very unfavorable things!"

"I'm working to earn money!" Xia Lin was already used to Lu Tao's reaction and calmly continued drawing her eyebrows.

"Some money is not to be earned!" Lu Tao shouted, "Don't even think about it!"

"What do you mean?" Xia Lin stopped drawing her eyebrows and looked over with a frown.

"I didn't mean anything by it!" Lu Tao looked away, his face showing displeasure.

In fact, they both knew what the other meant.

Just like before, they both knew how they felt about He Chen and Huang Yimei, this couple at the peak of their looks.

They all know it, but can't say it.

But this time, Charlene spoke up: "I know what you mean!"

These words startled Lu Tao. Could it be that Xia Lin couldn't take it anymore and was about to confront him? He immediately became nervous.

Now he has nothing to do, while Charlene has found a job.

Charlene found a job as a model at a club.

Well, that means wearing all sorts of sexy and revealing clothes, walking around, letting drunken men lewdly stare at you, and occasionally harassing you to challenge you to a fight, or at least taking advantage of you verbally and physically.

They made a lot of money.

But honestly, I'm too ashamed to say it.

This is probably the most common job that students in their major do.

In Yang Xiaoyun's words, it was the kind of job that most people couldn't escape and ended up completely degenerate.

How could Lu Tao not worry about being cuckolded?

And just like last time when he personally handed his girlfriend's phone number to He Chen, this time he personally watched his girlfriend in his rented apartment, in front of him, in front of his mirror, putting on makeup and then letting other men take advantage of her.

The key issue isn't just one or two, but countless...

what is this?
He was only imagining unpleasant scenarios rather than completely losing his temper because he was currently unemployed and they needed money to continue their relationship. He lacked the confidence to stop Charlene from doing what she was doing.

Otherwise, Charlene could simply ask, "I can not go, but how will we live?"

That would only make him look even more humiliated!
Because he can't offer anything!

Now that Charlene seems ready to lay her cards on the table, how could he not be worried?

"You just can't stand me because you're having trouble finding a job!" Xia Lin said, revealing a less contentious truth.

This left Lu Tao speechless and quite embarrassed, yet he breathed a sigh of relief. He then threw a tantrum of impotent jealousy for a while, finally standing on the table and loudly swearing to express his love for Xia Lin: "I want to work, I want to strive, I want to take you to eat Japanese food, I want to buy you a Mercedes-Benz, I want to take you to Paris!"

The two reconciled.

Then Xia Lin went to the club to walk the runway. A boss in the audience took a liking to her and asked her to drink with him. Lu Tao, who had secretly followed her in, saw this scene and was furious.

When the waiter asked him to order drinks and meet a minimum spending requirement to stay, he could only make a desperate escape by urinating. He then hid to the side, staring intently at his girlfriend walking the runway. Xia Lin saw this, and the two locked eyes.

After Xia Lin finished her round, she quickly came to find him and told him to leave first, as she had work to do.

He angrily tried to kiss her to express his possession, but Xia Lin dodged him. Then the waiter came over and said that the boss who wanted her to accompany him for drinks was worried that she would get into trouble and asked if she needed any help.

This made Lu Tao even angrier, and he yelled and threatened, "Xia Lin, if you dare to go drinking with him, I'll never forgive you!"

"I don't know any Mr. Wang, and I won't accompany him for drinks!" Xia Lin first sent the waiter away, then coaxed Lu Tao: "Lu Tao, he just gave me a flower basket and a tip of 800 yuan. It'll be over soon, and I'll treat you to something delicious."

Please go outside and wait for a moment.

I'll be out in ten minutes!

乖！
Don't be so cynical. Many rich men just want to chat with a girl.

Just as Lu Tao was being coaxed into accepting this explanation and was about to go outside to wait, he heard a sneer. The voice was surprisingly familiar, and when Lu Tao looked over, he blurted out, "What are you doing here?!"

"Of course, I'm looking for girls to chat with," He Chen said seriously. "My girlfriend is a novelist, and she often needs to gather material, but it's inconvenient for her, a proper girl, to come in here. So she asked me to come in and find some stories about people like gambling fathers, sick mothers, school-aged brothers, and broken personalities."

As soon as I arrived, I realized that this was indeed a great place.

Not only are there girls who, despite their unfortunate family circumstances, remain optimistic and hardworking, but there are also kind-hearted people who just want to chat with girls... oh, I mean, people who only want to have a casual chat with girls, but when they encounter such unfortunate girls, they think, 'If I don't help her, who will?'

This small club is filled with such profound human love.

"He Chen, stop talking." Lu Tao hadn't completely broken down yet, but Guan Peng, who was sitting diagonally opposite He Chen, couldn't stand it anymore and interrupted He Chen to stop him from continuing his taunts.

That's right!

Accompanying He Chen was none other than Xia Lin's honest ex-boyfriend, Guan Peng.

He realized something after He Chen used the method of locking shared bicycles.

In response, he was like Zhen Shiyin in the opening chapter of Dream of the Red Chamber, who suddenly had an epiphany after meeting a monk and a Taoist priest who sang a song. He also learned from the monk and the Taoist priest to sing his own epiphany.

His analogy was: "The rental power banks always remind you that you can buy them and not return them, but how many people actually buy them? Almost 100% of those who do buy them are tricked by the power banks and have no choice but to take them on!"

He Chen praised, "Your response was brilliant, your solution brilliant! You've truly grasped the essence!"

Although Guan Peng understood, he was still quite depressed, and it was hard for him to get over it quickly. He also felt that He Chen was a good friend and the most suitable person to talk to about these things, so they kept in touch.

Today, he asked He Chen out again, but He Chen led him directly here. When he saw his ex-girlfriend Xia Lin, who had cheated on him, walking the runway and being harassed by various bloated bosses, he became even more enlightened.

But when Lu Tao came to see Xia Lin, he was dismissed by her with the excuse that rich people only come to chat with girls, which made him realize something even more.

It's like all those things Xia Lin said to him before, like "I only gave him Lu Tao's phone number in the heat of the moment," "There are 20 numbers, he might not remember them all," and "I was sewing clothes at a classmate's house," all of which rushed back to flood his brain.

But when He Chen started talking about things like casual conversation, field research, her gambling father, her sick mother, her younger brother who was in school, and her broken life, and how if I don't help her, who will? and how rich people are just freeloaders, he, who thought he understood and didn't care, still couldn't hold back.

That's incredibly harsh!
