Chapter 20: Wanna Buy Some Tea, Miss? Han Ning Cried Out of Anger
Hearing the notification, Su Qinghe’s eyes lit up. She quickly tossed her textbook aside and picked up her phone.
Yifan Is So Annoying: Not here!
After reading the message, Su Qinghe was completely baffled. For a moment, she didn’t know what to say.
But one thing was for sure: she hadn’t added the wrong person.
This tone could only belong to Gu Yifan!
BZZT— BZZT BZZT—
She thought for a moment. Just as she was about to type a reply, her phone vibrated again.
Yifan Is So Annoying: Little sis, wanna buy some tea?
’Buy tea...?’
Seeing this message, Su Qinghe was even more baffled.
’Does he sell tea for his family?’ she wondered, puzzled.
...
Meanwhile, on Gu Yifan’s end, after sending the "Wanna buy some tea?" message and getting no reply, he instantly lost interest.
"Tch!"
"And here I thought I could mess with this scammer a bit!"
"So boring!"
He clicked his tongue and muttered to himself.
With that, he tossed his phone aside, grabbed the remote from the coffee table, and turned on the TV.
The TV switched on to the Mountain City TV Station’s noon news report.
"And now for the midday news. Our reporters have learned that Mountain City, a city rich in tourism resources, is set to see major development. The municipal government is prioritizing public interest and preparing to attract investment to invigorate the local tourism industry. City officials are currently conducting research in various districts..."
Hm?
The news report sounded familiar to Gu Yifan.
’That’s it!’
Gu Yifan remembered. In his previous life, this was the day it all started. About a month from now, the municipal government would launch a massive investment initiative. They would partner with the country’s largest industrial conglomerate, Tianjian Group, to develop a huge amusement park on a large plot of commercial land in the city. This project would put Mountain City on the fast track to development.
Thanks to the municipal government’s investment initiative and the amusement park’s development, countless people got rich overnight from the demolition compensation!
In just three short months, it created countless millionaires...
In his previous life, the story had spread throughout the entire city. It was the talk of the town, discussed by everyone, young and old, in every street and alley.
’The specific land plans haven’t been announced yet. If I take this opportunity to buy up a ton of property and land there, then... wouldn’t that be the seed money for my own business?!’
At this thought, Gu Yifan’s eyes lit up.
’Except, buying houses and land costs a damn fortune!’
’It might be 2013, and property isn’t that expensive yet, but the problem is, I’m broke!’
’The only ten thousand-plus yuan I’d saved was spent on Han Ning’s birthday, back when I was simping for her.’
’FUCK!’
DING!
"System Reminder: Host currently has two unused random 0–1000x Burst consumption rebate cards!"
Just then, the system’s crisp, mechanical voice suddenly rang in Gu Yifan’s mind.
’Oh, right!’
’I almost forgot I still have these Burst Cards!’
He remembered the system saying he still had 107.83 yuan in his bank account!
’If both bursts hit the 1,000x multiplier, I’d be rich!’
’My bank card...’
’Wait!’
’I forgot to get my bank card back from that brat Han Ning!’
’Damn it!’
’Goes to show, simps get nothing in the end!!!’
BEEP BEEP BEEP... BEEP BEEP BEEP...
Just then, his messenger app pinged again.
He grabbed his phone. It was a message from Han Ning.
Princess Ning’er: Gu Yifan, what’s the meaning of this? Why are you ignoring me?!
Princess Ning’er: I’m telling you, I’m really angry this time! (angry.jpg)
Princess Ning’er: I’m counting to three. If you don’t apologize right now, I’ll never speak to you again!
Princess Ning’er: Hey! I know you’re there! I’m counting to three, and if you don’t reply, I’ll be a dog if I ever talk to you again!
...
Han Ning fired off several messages in a row.
Gu Yifan’s brow furrowed as he read the messages.
’Is she crazy?’
’What the hell does her being angry have to do with me!?’
Gu Yifan was already stressed about money. Han Ning’s messages only made him more irritated.
Cuihu District, Building 19, Unit 8, Room 906.
"That damn Gu Yifan! That wretched Gu Yifan!"
"How dare you ignore my messages! You’re so dead!"
Lying on her bed, Han Ning furiously punched a small, pink pig plushie she was hugging.
BEEP BEEP BEEP... BEEP BEEP BEEP...
Just then, her phone pinged.
She quickly rolled over, snatched the phone from the side, and looked at it.
His profile picture was flashing. It was a message from Gu Yifan!
"Hmph!"
’You finally came to your senses!’
Despite what she said, the smug little smirk on her face gave away how pleased she was.
She pouted as she swiped to unlock her phone. "Replying now? Too late! I’m really angry this time. The kind of angry you can’t fix!"
Yifan Is So Annoying: Oh.
But when she saw the message from Gu Yifan, her expression instantly darkened.
A second later.
"AHHH!!!"
She let out a scream and flung her phone aside.
She felt like she was about to explode with rage!
"That wretched Gu Yifan!"
"You are so dead!!!"
She grabbed the pink pig plushie beside her and started beating it violently.
She attacked it with a force as if the little pig were Gu Yifan himself.
Come to think of it, Gu Yifan had given her this pink pig plushie back when he was seventeen.
So it wasn’t wrong to treat it as Gu Yifan!
HUFF... HUFF HUFF...
After venting for a while, Han Ning tossed the pink pig plushie aside, panting heavily with anger.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became.
She shot up in bed, snatched the phone she’d just thrown, and jabbed her pretty little fingers furiously at the screen.
"Gu Yifan! I’m giving you one last chance!! If you apologize to me right now, I might consider forgiving you!!!"
After typing the words, she angrily hit send.
A second later!
A bright red exclamation mark appeared on the screen!
Han Ning: "..."
’Delivery failed...???’
This time, Han Ning was completely dumbfounded.
Yes.
That’s right.
Just after replying with that one word, "Oh," Gu Yifan had thought for a moment and blocked her.
For no other reason than this:
The girl was just too damn annoying.
’That guy Gu Yifan... blocked me???’
Han Ning was stunned for a moment, then muttered to herself.
When she came to her senses, she stared at the big red exclamation mark on the screen in utter disbelief.
"Ah!"
"Gu Yifan, I swear! I will never talk to you again!!"
"If I ever talk to you again, then my name’s not Han!!!"
"WAAAH..."
...
Han Ning dove under her covers and burst into tears.
This time, her tears were of pure rage.
Hearing the sound of crying from the room, Han Ning’s mother, Ye Wanqing, who was cleaning outside, froze for a moment.
Then she hurriedly put down the mop in her hand and ran in...
