Chapter 2403 - 2396: Fatty’s Ex-Girlfriend
After helping Feng Dagang restore his face, Wang Dadong was ready to go back to the hotel.
"Dadao?"
Suddenly, a voice came from behind.
"Who is it?" Wang Dadong turned around, only to see a huge fatty grinning foolishly at him.
"Fatty!" Wang Dadong recognized who it was.
It was his old roommate Hao Shaowen from back when he pretended to be a college student to join the college sports meet.
He remembered this guy once took someone’s orders and tried to pee on him, but ended up pissing all over his own face.
"It’s really you!" Fatty had just thought the guy in front looked sort of like Wang Dadong, so he called out on a whim, and never expected it to really be Wang Dadong.
"Fatty, how’d you end up in the Imperial Capital? Weren’t you studying in Jiangdu?" Wang Dadong asked.
"My hometown’s the Imperial Capital. It’s summer break now." Fatty said.
"Oh, a Capital guy, huh? Not bad, not bad." Wang Dadong teased.
But Fatty’s face was all scrunched up with worry.
"Brother Dong, don’t roast me, I’m about to worry myself to death."
"What’s wrong, ran into something depressing? Tell me so I can cheer myself up." Wang Dadong said with a grin.
"Brother Dong, how can you be like this..." Fatty was almost in tears.
"Don’t cry, I’ll treat you to skewers, we can talk slowly." Wang Dadong patted Fatty’s shoulder as he spoke.
Soon, the two of them arrived at an open-air barbecue stall.
They drank beer and shot the breeze.
Listening to Fatty’s snot-and-tears story, Wang Dadong finally understood what had happened.
Turns out, although Fatty was from the Capital, he’d gotten himself a rural girlfriend. When they were dating, his family strongly opposed the relationship. To show his love, Fatty wrote her an IOU.
They’ve already been broken up for a year now, and she’s suddenly come to him to collect. Fatty naturally doesn’t want to pay, so she’s taken him to court.
After hearing Fatty’s story, Wang Dadong gave him a thumbs up. "Bro, you’re a badass."
"Bro, can you not pour salt in my wound..."
"So did you ever actually borrow money from her or not?"
Fatty said gloomily, "Her family’s so poor, even her tuition I paid for her. How could I be the one borrowing from her?"
"Since you didn’t borrow, what are you afraid of?" Wang Dadong said speechlessly.
"But the judge doesn’t care. He said it’s right there in black and white, and even if I didn’t really borrow the money back then, they can only treat it as if I did." Fatty was about to cry.
"What’s the big deal, how much do you owe? I’ll just pay it off for you." Wang Dadong patted his shoulder.
"Really?" Fatty’s face lit up with joy.
"I always keep my word." Wang Dadong said, thumping his chest.
Fatty instantly wrapped his arms around Wang Dadong’s thigh. "Bro, you’re my real brother—no, you’re my dad, you’re my biological father."
"How much do you actually owe?"
𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮
"Two million!"
"Get lost!"
Wang Dadong almost kicked Fatty straight into the gutter. Like hell, your brain’s broken, isn’t it? Classic case of ’if you don’t seek death, you won’t die.’
A year ago Fatty had just started college. Wang Dadong figured at most the IOU would be for a few tens of thousands, never thought it’d actually be two million.
"Bro, I was just young and stupid back then... If it weren’t that much, I wouldn’t be this miserable." Fatty knew very well that Wang Dadong couldn’t possibly pay it for him.
After all, that’s two million.
"There’s nothing I can do on this one." Wang Dadong shrugged helplessly.
"Bro, you’re really just going to watch me die?" Fatty looked at Wang Dadong pitifully.
They were once roommates after all, and two million isn’t exactly a big deal for Wang Dadong. He glared at Fatty irritably and said, "I usually just use my credit card. There’s only a bit over nine hundred thousand left on it right now, that’s all."
Hearing that Wang Dadong had nine hundred thousand, Fatty’s eyes lit up at once.
"You really are my biological father!"
If Wang Dadong hadn’t blocked him, he’d almost lunged over to kiss him.
"Don’t get too happy yet. Even if I use the nine hundred thousand to help you pay it back, you’re still short a lot. You owe two million." Wang Dadong suddenly splashed a bucket of cold water on him.
"How about this, you go talk to your ex and see if she can lower it a bit. You didn’t actually borrow the money from her, after all." After a long pause, Wang Dadong suggested.
Fatty thought it over and nodded, then pulled out his phone and dialed.
"Xiao Ying, I really can’t get that much money together. Can you maybe lower it a bit..." Fatty asked in a mosquito-soft voice.
"No. Not a single cent less!" Her attitude was extremely firm. She said that, then hung up straight away.
"Fuck, that bitch has zero shame. Screw it, let’s just kidnap her and snatch the IOU back!" Fatty exploded.
Wang Dadong frowned. He hadn’t expected someone to be this shameless. Fatty only wrote that IOU out of love for her back then. Now that they’ve broken up, the love’s gone, sure, but they did once love each other—no way she should be this outrageous.
"Here’s what we’ll do: you ask her out, tell her you’re going to pay her back." Wang Dadong said after thinking it over.
"But we don’t have that much money." Fatty was anxious.
"You don’t need to worry about that part."
Following Wang Dadong’s instructions, Fatty asked his ex-girlfriend out, setting the meeting at a café just outside campus.
Wang Dadong and Fatty ordered coffee and waited for Fatty’s ex to arrive.
Wang Dadong was curious what kind of woman could pull something like this.
Soon, a luxuriously dressed woman walked into the café. But with one glance, Wang Dadong could tell all the accessories she wore were fake, and her clothes and bag were all knock-offs.
Still, the woman was fairly pretty, and paired with that whole getup, calling her stately and elegant wouldn’t be much of an exaggeration.
"She’s your ex?" Wang Dadong gave Fatty a strange look.
Fatty nodded shyly.
Damn! Didn’t you say your ex was a student too? This woman looks at least twenty-five or twenty-six! Her actual age is probably higher—there’s so much powder on her face it’s about to crack off.
When the woman saw Fatty, her face showed no expression at all. She walked straight over and sat down across from the two of them.
She took out a slim woman’s cigarette, lit it, took a drag, then finally asked, "Got the money ready? Not a cent less than two million."
Fatty immediately pulled a pained face and looked at Wang Dadong. Let alone two million, Wang Dadong hadn’t let him bring a single cent.
Wang Dadong said calmly, "We brought it. Take out the IOU and let me have a look first."
The woman nodded and reached into her neckline, pulled out the IOU, but didn’t hand it over to Wang Dadong.
Seeing the IOU, Fatty instantly had the urge to snatch it, but Wang Dadong signaled him to stay put.
"Good thing you’re not stupid. I secretly set up cameras here. You’d better not try anything, or I’ll sue you for robbery." The woman sneered.
