"Too little? Then one million gold coins!" Ye Lang had clearly misunderstood, but he had thought it was too little to begin with. With such a rare opportunity, how could he settle for only a hundred thousand?
How could a hundred thousand possibly do justice to me, a Prodigal Son?
"No, no, it's too much! Don't place the bet—I won't win. Wait, Ye Lang, don't tell me you're planning to use this to squander money?" Zhen Xiaoyan suddenly remembered Ye Lang's habit of squandering. Whenever he saw something he could squander money on, he had to do it once.
Could it be that this time, he was doing it for...
"That's right! How could I miss such a wonderful opportunity? This time, I'll definitely squander it all! Hahaha! Let's see what kind of accident can still happen this time!!" Ye Lang said excitedly, completely failing to notice that Zhen Xiaoyan's fury was already beginning to spill over.
"Ye Lang, what do you mean by that? You're saying I'll definitely lose!" Zhen Xiaoyan's roar filled the entire classroom.
"Nonsense, of course I am. You're a triple-no product—no looks, no figure, no talent. Forget winning; I think the moment you step onstage, you'll be kicked right back down!" By then, Ye Lang had already run out of the classroom. Most of his later words were heard, but he was nowhere to be seen.
"Ye Lang!!!" Zhen Xiaoyan's furious roar pierced through the walls and echoed throughout the teaching building, while a certain someone pretended not to hear it and happily ran off to place his bet.
Zhen Xiaoyan gritted her teeth. She already understood that Ye Lang would not offer her any help in this matter, because he wanted to squander money. Right now, he was probably hoping she would be kicked off the stage.
She wanted to strangle Ye Lang to death, but she also knew that there was nothing wrong with what he had said. She really was a triple-no product—no looks, no figure, no talent!
How could someone like her defeat those talented women?
But if anyone asked whether she regretted it, she definitely would not!!
To her, having given, loved, and hurt was already enough!!!
"Little brother, what happened? You seem to be in especially high spirits?" When Ye Lanyu returned home that evening, she found Ye Lang in an excellent mood, wearing a brilliant smile.
"Sis, let me tell you something wonderful! In one month, I'll successfully squander one million gold coins! Hahaha, this time it's foolproof!!" Ye Lang said with a laugh, looking as delighted as though he had gained one million gold coins rather than lost them.
If a normal person lost one million, shouldn't they cry until they were half-dead and begging for death? Even a Prodigal Son could not bear such a loss. This only showed that Ye Lang was extraordinary!
A super Prodigal Son indeed deserved to be called a super Prodigal Son!!
"...You really leave me with no way to handle you. Still, perhaps you'll make money again this time." Ye Lanyu shook her head helplessly. Only her precious little brother could think squandering one million was something worth celebrating.
"No, absolutely not this time!" Ye Lang shook his head and said firmly.
Even though the tiniest accidents had happened before, no matter how good his luck was, Ye Lang did not believe an accident would happen this time, because this time, such an accident was impossible!!
"You say that every time, yet haven't there been plenty of accidents?" Ye Lanyu gave Ye Lang an annoyed slap.
"This time is different. Tell me, if Zhen Xiaoyan entered Talented Women Unrivaled, do you think she could win?" Ye Lang asked.
"No! She probably wouldn't enter in the first place. If she did, people would laugh at her for the rest of her life. What she's been doing lately has already given plenty of people something to laugh at." Ye Lanyu shook her head. When she spoke of Zhen Xiaoyan, she seemed to feel a little sympathy for her.
Perhaps she did not know that her little brother had made that girl she pitied even more pitiful!
"She entered. I bet on her winning the championship. Tell me, can I lose this one million gold coins?" Ye Lang said with a smile.
"She entered? How could this happen? Hasn't she considered that this would leave her unable to hold her head up before others in the future?" Ye Lanyu asked in surprise.
"Sigh, she knows, but she agreed anyway. A woman blinded by love is unstoppable; even if you told her to die, she wouldn't so much as furrow her brow." Ye Lang shook his head and sighed.
Actually, it was not as though he did not know the consequences of this. But he knew that Zhen Xiaoyan would not listen to anyone's advice at a time like this. Besides, he thought, was it not just losing face once? What was there to fear from such a blow?
For the sake of someone they liked, many people would do crazy things. He believed many would understand, and what she was doing did not hurt anyone else. She was only giving wholeheartedly to her feelings.
"If that's the case, why are you making a joke out of it? You shouldn't have placed that bet." Ye Lanyu said reproachfully.
"How am I joking? I'm serious! One thing is one thing, another thing is another! She can lose her match, and I can squander my money!" Ye Lang said very seriously.
To Ye Lang, these were two separate matters. No matter how miserable Zhen Xiaoyan became, he would still place this bet!!
"That may be true, but it still doesn't feel right." Ye Lanyu said.
"It's fine. She won't hold a grudge. That's what's adorable about her, and it's also what I like most about her." Ye Lang said carelessly. From the time he had met Zhen Xiaoyan until now, he had no idea how many times he had offended her. Every time, she was only angry for a while before forgetting it.
And that was indeed the case. After he had offended her today, the next day she still prepared food he liked for him. Then, as always, they laughed and bickered.
And so, several more days passed. Zhen Xiaoyan did not seem affected by the growing pressure of the approaching competition. Of course, she was also preparing, thinking about what she should do, but she simply did not want others to feel pressured because of her.
Seeing Zhen Xiaoyan like this, Shalan, who was constantly preparing and battling for the competition, felt a little unbalanced—
Nonsense! For this competition, Shalan prepared every day, every moment, all to make herself perform a little better!
Practicing her talents and preparing her competition act went without saying. Every talented woman entering the competition was doing that, but she worked harder than all of them!
Besides that, she had to sculpt her already perfect body again, making it even more flawless.
Everyone could surely understand and imagine this torment and hardship!
Yet now, she saw Zhen Xiaoyan strolling about leisurely as though nothing had happened. Worse still, she was eating without restraint, and that enormous body of hers seemed to be getting bigger and bigger.
Even knowing that Zhen Xiaoyan had no chance, it still irritated her. Watching it every day only made her even more irritated!!
