Celestial Master： I Have an Otherworld-Chapter 98 - 42: Friends 3

"That's a Beijing hukou."

"..."

Everyone was full of admiration, except for Shi Xin who suddenly brightened up and stood up urgently:

"Zhao Xiuxiu, you're here."

"Shi Xin."

Zhao Xiuxiu was dressed in a pink long dress, her hair loosely tied behind her back, exposing her fair and slender wrists. Her delicate features were like porcelain.

Upon arrival, she greeted everyone with a smile.

Fang Zheng was a bit taken aback.

It wasn't because Zhao Xiuxiu was beautiful, though she was indeed very good-looking, with a great figure, long legs, a slender waist, and a large bust.

The main thing is...

He had seen Zhao Xiuxiu earlier today.

Right in that luxury business car, she was the woman tidying up Zheng Kuo's clothes.

"Sit down!"

Shi Xin gestured for her:

"Please sit."

Xu Yuting's eyes turned, she got up and pulled Zhao Xiuxiu down to sit, casually touching the watch on her wrist:

"Is this the Bao Family's Starry Sky?"

"It must be at least hundreds of thousands. Xiuxiu, you really keep things low-key. Just one watch is worth more than all my possessions."

"Hundreds of thousands?" Zhao Xiuxiu looked surprised:

"Is it really that expensive?"

"Of course." Xu Yuting rolled her eyes:

"You didn't know? Or did the person who bought it for you not tell you?"

"I..." Zhao Xiuxiu blushed slightly:

"He didn't tell me, just said it was a small gift."

"A small gift worth hundreds of thousands." Xu Yuting's face twisted, it was hard to tell whether it was jealousy or something else, she spoke slowly:

"Is it from your boyfriend?"

"Mm."

Zhao Xiuxiu nodded gently.

"You're really lucky." Xu Yuting sighed:

"When can I find a boyfriend who considers a watch worth hundreds of thousands as a small gift."

"Stop dreaming." Someone laughed:

"Just look at Xiuxiu's lovely appearance, not just men, even women can't help but feel moved."

"Hehe..."

The girls laughed together.

Shi Xin's expression was somewhat stiff.

"Xiuxiu."

Xu Yuting said:

"Could you ask your boyfriend to come over, let us see which young master it is who has captivated our Xiuxiu."

"Well..." Zhao Xiuxiu clenched her clothing, showing hesitation:

"He's really busy."

"No matter how busy, surely he can spare time for his girlfriend?" Xu Yuting raised her eyebrows:

"Give him a call and see."

"Yeah, we'd like to see too."

"Rich young master..."

"Well... okay then." After repeated persuasion by the girls, Zhao Xiuxiu couldn't refuse and reluctantly took her phone out of her bag to make a call.

After thinking for a moment, she got up and went outside.

"Tch!"

Seeing her walk away, a female classmate's face suddenly changed, and she said coldly:

"Zhao Xiuxiu has really hit the big time, not long ago her family couldn't even put food on the table, and now she's wearing a watch worth hundreds of thousands."

"Yeah!"

Someone chimed in:

"Her dad owed millions in gambling debts, and it was all paid off by that person. A watch worth hundreds of thousands, millions of debts, all settled just like that."

"Hey..."

"I heard Zhao Xiuxiu is taken to high-end clubs every day, impressive, really impressive!"

"Could she be a mistress?"

"Who knows?"

"Maybe that guy's a seventy or eighty-year-old geezer, who can say?"

The girls whispered among themselves, and Xu Yuting, who had been so enthusiastic just a moment ago, had her attitude completely changed. The male classmates might not have said anything, but their expressions turned very peculiar.

Shi Xin kept a cold face, drinking continuously.

"Sorry."

Zhao Xiuxiu pushed the door open and entered, nodding to the group as an apology:

"My boyfriend might not be able to come."

"It's fine." Fang Zheng raised his glass:

"It's rare for us to gather, let's drink, chat, and share some thoughts. Who knows when we'll meet again."

"Right!"

Dapeng nodded heavily, shifting the topic away from Zhao Xiuxiu:

"Let's drink, cheers!"

He also gave Shi Xin a knowing look.

"Cheers."

Shi Xin forced a smile, raising his glass as a gesture.

After three rounds of drinks and five flavors of dishes, several people were becoming tipsy, their faces flushed, and their words becoming jumbled and rambling.

"Let's go!"

Dapeng burped:

"It's about time, let's go back."

"What's the rush?" Xu Yuting rolled her eyes:

"We've only just begun, let's find a karaoke place for round two."

"Right!"

"I know a nice place, the owner is a friend of mine, let's go there."

"Great!"

Several people raised their hands in approval.

"Xiuxiu."

At this moment, a cold voice sounded:

"Time to go."

"Zheng Kuo, you're here." Zhao Xiuxiu stood up at the sound, her face flushing an even deeper red, and stepped up to the man, bringing him to the table:

"These are my friends, they wanted to meet you."

"Everyone."

"This is my boyfriend, Zheng Kuo."

While introducing Zheng Kuo, Zhao Xiuxiu instinctively straightened up, her face full of pride, and happiness radiated from her.

She's not stupid.

She knows what some people say about her behind her back.

But she doesn't mind.

As long as her boyfriend treats her well, that's enough. Let those people be envious.

"Young Master Zheng."

"So young!"

"Young Master Zheng..."

Seeing Zheng Kuo's appearance, under his imposing wealthy aura, several people couldn't help but bow slightly, raising their glasses to show respect.

"Zheng Kuo."

Zhao Xiuxiu shook his arm:

"Have a drink."

"..." Zheng Kuo frowned, his face full of displeasure, he glanced at Zhao Xiuxiu, and only then reluctantly opened a bottle of wine, skillfully swirling it:

"Xiuxiu's friends are my friends, I'll drink first..."

"Hmm?"

When his gaze fell on Fang Zheng, Zheng Kuo's expression froze, he instinctively wanted to retreat, even feeling a familiar pain in his chest.

"Why are you here?"

"Young Master Zheng." Fang Zheng stood up, raised his glass as a gesture:

"What a coincidence."

"Care for a drink?"

"..." Zheng Kuo squinted, his gaze flickered before he nodded:

"Let's drink!"

With that, he lifted his head and downed his drink in one go, set down the glass, and without saying anything else, pulled Xiuxiu along to leave, without any intention of greeting the others.

"Hey!"

Zhao Xiuxiu staggered at his pull, hastily turned her head to apologize to the group:

"Sorry, I have to go."

Only when their figures disappeared did everyone snap out of it.

"Looks like Xiuxiu has really hit the jackpot." Someone said with a hint of emotion.

"Not necessarily!" A woman sneered:

"Judging from what just happened, that man doesn't respect her at all, maybe he's just having some fun, and might toss her aside when he gets bored."

"It's mutual consent, none of our business, just wondering who's going to pick up the pieces next."

"Hehe..."

A few whispered, their words laced with sarcasm.

People love wealth, but that doesn't stop them from looking down on those who cling to riches, especially when they use their looks as a trade-off, which is often despised, though it might just be jealousy.

This world...

The values of mocking poverty instead of promiscuity are also very popular.

Of course, some were curious about how Fang Zheng knew Young Master Zheng, but he brushed it off casually.

Seeing Shi Xin's sullen face, Fang Zheng lowered his head and opened his phone.

The Sword God's Smile from the Traditional Martial Arts hobby group had just @ed him.

There's news about the Fishing Toad Force, it might be available in the next few days.
