Chapter 50 *Playing with Years
"I've heard those seniors who've graduated say that even if they work for another three to five years, they still might not be able to afford a BMW."
"Even if they can afford it, they might not be able to maintain it, with maintenance, parking, gas, and the annual insurance, all those are significant expenses."
"That's what I'm saying, some people just can't figure out the situation."
Wei Yanyan and Weng Meiyun expressed their discontent.
Li Zhanpeng frowned, "Let's not talk about this, let's talk about something else."
He wasn't too pleased with their conversation.
Though he had no chance to be with her, Fang Minhui was ultimately the white moonlight in his heart.
He could say things, but others couldn't.
Li Zhanpeng's roommate, Ye Zhiyang, picked up the thread of the conversation, "I haven't seen Shen Yuan around lately; he's living on campus now, right? He didn't come to the last gathering either."
"Are you talking about Shen Yuan from your class who drives a 4 Series?"
The light in Weng Meiyun's eyes flickered; she knew there was a rich second generation in Class 2 named Shen Yuan, handsome and wealthy. If only she could get to know him.
Though they were two guys and two girls, the distribution wasn't too even.
Li Zhanpeng evidently favored Yanyan more, and Ye Zhiyang, with his crooked melon, cracked date looks and lack of money, simply couldn't compare. It would be better to get to know Shen Yuan through Li Zhanpeng and Ye Zhiyang.
"Meiyun, you're out of the loop, his family has gone bankrupt."
"Forget the 4 Series, he doesn't even have a car now, only takes the bus."
"I see..."
Upon hearing what Wei Yanyan said, Weng Meiyun's interest plummeted.
She had wanted to get to know them, but if he was bankrupt, there was no point.
"Shen Yuan is incompetent and loves face; he deliberately didn't come to the last class gathering because he was afraid of being humiliated."
As soon as Shen Yuan was mentioned, Li Zhanpeng immediately felt a sense of superiority. He had always been overshadowed by Shen Yuan in class, but now he could finally breathe easy.
Regrettably, since mentioning the 3 Series, he himself hadn't encountered Shen Yuan, otherwise, he would have relished giving the guy a hard time.
"That is a bit embarrassing."
"Actually, I think whether a guy has money is one thing, but what's more important is having the ease to face everything."
Wei Yanyan blinked, "Don't you think so, Li Zhanpeng?"
"Of course, naturally!"
Li Zhanpeng's lips unconsciously curled up, his fondness for Wei Yanyan growing a bit more.
He then took out his phone, scanned the table, and prepared to order a few drinks.
But when he saw the coffee prices, his lips twitched.
Damn, what is this? The cheapest is 29 a cup?Nôv(el)B\\jnn
He also needed to cover the others, four people at the table, wouldn't that add up to 116?
Li Zhanpeng hadn't expected to fall into a trap. Had he known, he wouldn't have let Wei Yanyan pick the place.
How can a coffee shop around the school be so expensive, wouldn't it be better to drink a cup of coffee at Luckin Coffee for 9.9?
But he had no choice, he was a rich second generation, he couldn't lose face, so he had to bite the bullet and place the order.
After ordering the coffee, Li Zhanpeng subconsciously surveyed the cafe; it was a duplex structure with a small second floor, decorated in a retro style, even the floors were wooden, truly quite tasteful.
However, when his gaze swept to a small corner of the cafe, Li Zhanpeng's eyes suddenly stalled.
Because he noticed a very elegant and sexy woman sitting alone in the corner, sipping her coffee.
Li Zhanpeng couldn't help but widen his eyes. The woman appeared to be in her mid-to-late twenties, with delicate features, and light brown, large wavy hair casually falling onto her shoulders.
Most importantly, she had a particularly nice figure, especially those long, white, straight legs.
Li Zhanpeng's throat involuntarily swallowed, thinking those legs were worth playing with for a year even at the cost of shortening his life by ten years.

Li Zhanpeng turned his head back and looked at the two girls sitting opposite him once more, but upon comparison, he suddenly felt disinterested.
The gap was just too wide, they were not even in the same league!
While Wei Yanyan and Weng Meiyun were waiting for their coffee, they also noticed the beauty in the corner.
Once they saw her delicate face clearly, both of them were simultaneously taken aback.
When a woman sees another unfamiliar woman, there's always an instinctive compulsion to compare herself.
But when Wei Yanyan and Weng Meiyun looked at this woman, they didn't even have the courage to compare themselves.
Because this woman was just too beautiful.
Not only that, but her figure was also impeccable, and most importantly, she exuded an elegant aura.
Wei Yanyan's looks ranked high in her class, with many male students pursuing her, but upon seeing this woman, she immediately felt inferior and ashamed.
At that moment, a huge SUV suddenly drove past the coffee shop entrance, diverting everyone's attention away from the beauty.
The vehicle was rugged by design, and its tall and wide body made Li Zhanpeng's 3 Series look like a delicate lady when parked next to it.
"What kind of car is that? It's so big."
Wei Yanyan couldn't help but ask.
"Oh, it's probably something like a Zhongtai, not expensive, around one hundred thousand," Li Zhanpeng answered casually. In fact, he often browsed car review sites and knew this was a Defender, which would cost at least eight or nine hundred thousand.
But in front of the two girls he had just met, he pretended to be a car expert, "This car is quite big, but it also has high fuel consumption, and parking it in the city is very inconvenient."
"Oh, I see," Wei Yanyan and Weng Meiyun, not knowing much about cars, nodded like pecking hens.
Hearing it was a car of about one hundred thousand, they quickly lost interest and withdrew their gazes.
"Hey, isn't that Shen Yuan?"
Just then, Ye Zhiyang suddenly spoke up.
At his words, those who had just looked away followed his gaze once again.
Indeed, Shen Yuan got out of the driver's seat and walked towards the coffee shop.
Seeing the handsome and tall Shen Yuan, Weng Meiyun's eyes lit up, "Shen Yuan is actually quite handsome."
Wei Yanyan also nodded in agreement.
The man did look good; it was just a shame about the car.
Li Zhanpeng's eyelids twitched, and he hadn't expected to encounter Shen Yuan here, especially not driving a Defender. Hadn't his family gone bankrupt?
Shen Yuan walked into the coffee shop called "MS," looking around.
The décor was indeed quite stylish.
Actually, this coffee shop was less than a kilometer away from their school's gate, and Shen Yuan occasionally passed by, but he had never entered before.
This place was found by Chen Na, who said the owner was someone who wasn't short on money; bored of the business, she wanted to transfer ownership, and the price was negotiable.
So today, Chen Na had arranged to meet him and the owner here to discuss in detail.
"Shen Yuan, over here!"
Chen Na, who had been sitting in the corner drinking coffee, waved with a smile when she saw Shen Yuan appear.
Find your next adventure on empire
Shen Yuan responded and walked over, while Ye Zhiyang, originally intending to greet him with a wave, saw that Shen Yuan hadn't even noticed them. He had to retract his hand in disappointment as Shen Yuan walked past them.
Seeing this, Li Zhanpeng and Wei Yanyan were simultaneously stunned.
Could it be that the beautiful woman sitting in the corner had been waiting for Shen Yuan all along?
