The Whale in the Mountains
Chapter 126 Gold Digger
Wu Feier asked with surprise.
Zhao Xiaobo said, "You'll be even more excited than I am when you hear this news. Alright, I won't keep you in suspense. To tell you the truth, the company headquarters has decided to sell you the lung cancer drug at a 50% discount!"
"Is that true?"
Wu Feier was overjoyed upon hearing this news, just as Zhao Xiaobo had predicted.
Zhao Xiaobo said with great pride, "It must be true. But of course, the head office is giving you such a big discount because of my connections. The average person doesn't get this kind of treatment!"
Wu Feier said excitedly, "Thank you so much, Xiaobo. I don't know how to thank you enough. You've really helped me a lot this time."
Zhao Xiaobo smiled and said, "If you really don't know how to thank me, why don't you offer yourself to me?"
Wu Feier paused abruptly, then pretended to be relaxed and joked, "Old classmate, don't joke around with me..."
Unexpectedly, Zhao Xiaobo replied seriously, "I'm not joking with you."
Wu Feier was dumbfounded, at a loss for words.
Zhao Xiaobo continued, "I admit that with your current conditions, you're not really a match for me, but it doesn't matter. I'm willing to accommodate you, just because you were my goddess when I was young!"
Wu Feier's face was turning green. "What are you talking about?"
Zhao Xiaobo continued to speak his mind, "I've been waiting for this day for a long time. I used to be insecure and felt unworthy of you, but it's different now. I earn a million a year and am already a member of the upper class. I'm more than good enough for you."
"Of course, you won't be able to go out to work after we get married. I don't like women showing their faces in public. You should just stay at home and take care of our children. I believe we'll be a very happy couple."
Watching Zhao Xiaobo rambling on and on in front of her, spitting everywhere, Wu Feier even felt that all of this was just her imagination.
The Zhao Xiaobo in her memory wasn't this kind of person.
She asked, "Old classmate, are you taking the wrong medicine? What are you even saying?"
Zhao Xiaobo frowned.
"Is it hard to understand? To tell you the truth, from the first time I saw you, I decided that I wanted you to be my woman for the rest of my life. I didn't say it before because I didn't think the time was right."
"And today, I've helped you so much, and you just happen to not know how to repay me, so let's just break through this final barrier."
"I believe you think so too, right?"
Wu Feier shook her head like a rattle.
"No, no, no, Xiaobo, I think you must have misunderstood me!"
"I've always only seen you as an old classmate, an old friend, and I've never thought about anything else."
"Thank you for your kindness, I appreciate it, but I'm sorry, I can't be with you."
Wu Feier's words were already very polite, but Zhao Xiaobo looked at her with an incomprehensible expression.
As if to say, how can you be so ungrateful?
"You're rejecting me?" Zhao Xiaobo asked.
"Well, I guess so." Wu Feier turned her head to the side, no longer wanting to face this awkward situation.
Zhao Xiaobo sneered.
"Heh, rejecting me? Wu Feier, what right do you have to reject me now?"
"Do you know that you are rejecting a social elite who earns millions a year!"
Wu Feier was speechless, she almost threw up.
She really didn't expect the usually taciturn Zhao Xiaobo to be this kind of person.
But Zhao Xiaobo continued to say:
"Heh, Wu Feier, do you think you're still the same as before? Do you still think of yourself as the school beauty? Why are you pretending to be so pure?"
"Why don't you look in the mirror and see yourself? You're already past your prime, and I don't need to tell you that the older a woman gets, the less valuable she is, right?"
"I've already given you the opportunity, and I advise you not to waste it. I'll ask you one more time, accept or reject?"
Wu Feier took a deep breath, calming the anger in her heart.
"I think I've made myself clear enough, we're not suitable for each other, you should go find someone who is worthy of you!"
"Can we just drop this topic? I don't want to talk about it anymore."
Wu Feier felt that she had been restrained enough, and hadn't said anything harsh.
But Zhao Xiaobo was still embarrassed into anger.
"Okay, Wu Feier, are you playing with me? What do you take me for? If you don't want to be with me, why did you seduce me and call my name so intimately?"
Even a clay figure has some spirit. Zhao Xiaobo's endless nonsense also made Wu Feier lose her patience.
"That's enough, Zhao Xiaobo. I never thought about being with you, and I never seduced you. Out of consideration for being old classmates, I ask you to speak with some respect!"
Zhao Xiaobo was so angry that he almost lost control. He gritted his teeth and said, "Wu Feier, I'm telling you, if you don't be with me, you can forget about enjoying our company's discount!"
He thought that if he played this trump card, Wu Feier would have to obediently submit.
But Wu Feier didn't take this threat seriously at all.
"If you don't give me a discount, then don't. I'll buy it at the original price!"
Zhao Xiaobo was dumbfounded. He had already rehearsed these three moves countless times in his mind.
He originally thought that he could win Wu Feier's heart with the first move, but he never expected that even after using the final trump card, Wu Feier was still unmoved.
Just then, there was a knock on the door. Wu Feier grabbed at it as if she were a drowning person grabbing a lifeline and quickly ran to open the door.
The person who came was naturally Chen Xiao.
Chen Xiao apologized, "Sorry I'm late, I didn't keep you waiting too long, did I?"
Wu Feier hurriedly said, "It's not late, it's not late, you came at just the right time."
Zhao Xiaobo narrowed his eyes at Chen Xiao, his whole body becoming vigilant, and his eyes even showing hostility.
"Chen Xiao? What are you doing here!"
Chen Xiao originally wanted to catch up with Zhao Xiaobo, but he didn't expect to feel a sense of hostility as soon as they met, and he was immediately very confused.
"Oh, I heard that Feier's mother is sick, so I came to see her."
Zhao Xiaobo's face was gloomy, and a smile that was not a smile finally appeared on his face.
He was wondering what the relationship between Chen Xiao and Wu Feier was.
Could it be that Wu Feier rejected him because of him?
But Zhao Xiaobo quickly dismissed this idea, after all, he knew that Chen Xiao's family was very poor, and he hadn't been doing well since graduation.
Such a person was not even qualified to be his opponent.
Chen Xiao felt that the atmosphere in the room was a little strange. He didn't know what had happened, so he took the initiative to liven up the atmosphere.
"Old classmate, I heard that you've been doing well recently!"
Zhao Xiaobo said with a fake smile, "So-so, just earning a million a year, which is considered to be halfway into the upper class."
