He waved his hands indifferently and said casually: "I saved you because you are Aunt He's daughter, you don't need to thank me!"
After he finished speaking, he looked at Li Jingjing again, still in the same tone: "As for you, it's just a way to stop by!"
At this moment, everyone felt that the atmosphere had condensed a lot. Two beauties invited Ye Chen to have lunch, but Ye Chen actually refused, and refused so decisively?
The expressions on Xiao Wenyue and Li Jingjing's faces were frozen. They thought that if they came to Ye Chen for dinner, Ye Chen would happily agree, but Ye Chen's reaction was really beyond their expectations.
They thought it was extremely absurd. Both of them were beauties at the level of No. 3 Middle School belle. Which boy would not be kind to them on weekdays, fearing that he would not get their attention?
Now they took the initiative to invite Ye Chen to dinner, but Ye Chen didn't appreciate it at all and refused decisively. They felt that their self-esteem had been greatly hit.
"Ye Chen, what do you mean?"
Before Xiao Wenyue could say anything, Li Jingjing roared.
"Don't think that just because you saved us, you can show off to us!"
"Didn't you just hit some and save us? Why are you so proud? Aren't you eating in a simple restaurant like this where you only spend dozens of yuan at a time?"
"If you are not willing to invite you to dinner, I am not willing to invite you. What's the big deal!"
After she finished speaking, she raised her head and walked out of the restaurant angrily.
Ye Chen's words "You're just here" completely angered her.
Xiao Wenyue stood there with a faint look in her eyes.
"You saved me just because you are familiar with my mother?"
"If you didn't know my mother, wouldn't you care?"
Ye Chen simply nodded: "Yes!"
He didn't lie. The reason why he rescued Xiao Wenyue yesterday was entirely because of Aunt He.
He Minhui gave him a sum of money. Although it was not much, it supported him through the most difficult period. He has always been grateful in his heart.
Xiao Wenyue is He Minhui's daughter. If something happened to her, He Minhui would definitely be heartbroken, so he took action.
If it were anyone else, he wouldn't want to meddle in other people's affairs. Except for the people around him, life and death in the world are all determined, and he wouldn't want to interfere.
After hearing Ye Chen's answer, Xiao Wenyue's expression turned completely cold.
Xiao Wenyue was originally filled with gratitude and guilt towards Ye Chen, but Ye Chen's words were like a splash of cold water.
"Really? It seems like we are being too fond of ourselves!"
Her expression changed, her tone became much colder, and the guilt in her heart disappeared.
She walked to the door of the restaurant and suddenly turned around. Ye Chen just looked down at the menu without even looking over, which made her even more secretly angry.
She thought of the scene when Ye Chen first arrived at her home, and thought of the one hundred thousand yuan that Ye Chen paid back, and then combined with the scene of Ye Chen eating in a simple restaurant, she suddenly understood.
"His 100,000 yuan should be the savings he has worked hard to save in recent years. He has paid back all the money, and now he is just an ordinary high school student with no background or family background!"
She shook her head gently. She admired Ye Chen's arrogance, but aside from that, Ye Chen was just a high school student with strong skills but no bright spots in other aspects.
Being able to fight is indeed a skill, and it may still make boys and girls of the same age a little envious and amazed, but once you enter the society, what use will it be?
Even if you are a bodyguard, you are still just a vassal of wealth and power!
Originally, she could accept these things, and she would be very happy to be just friends with Ye Chen, but Ye Chen's dismissive attitude towards them made her disgusted.
She doesn't have much ability, but always acts like she's the best in the world and doesn't care about anyone. She despises such people the most.
"Ye Chen, you are indeed good at fighting. Today you defeated a karate team by yourself, but these are just mirror images!"
"When you really come into contact with the upper class, you will eventually understand that all your current pride and reliance are worthless in their eyes!"
She shook her head secretly, never looked at Ye Chen again, and left straight away.
Ye Chen didn't take the arrival of Xiao Wenyue and Li Jingjing seriously at all. After all, Xiao Wenyue was just a stranger to him. Without He Minhui's relationship, he might not even say a word to him.
She said that as for Li Jingjing, she was worse than a stranger.
"Brother Ye Chen, I've bought it!"
Shortly after the two left, Gu Mengyao came to the store and sat opposite Ye Chen.
The students from No. 3 Middle School next to him all looked indignant, secretly thinking that Ye Chen had gotten into some bad luck.
Not only were Xiao Wenyue and Li Jingjing invited to dinner before, but now they were also accompanied by Gu Mengyao, which was simply the pinnacle of their dreams.
"Well, I've ordered all the dishes. If I remember correctly, they should all be what you like to eat!"
Ye Chen looked at Gu Mengyao with a smile on his face. He thought of Gu Mengyao's mother Xiao He, that gentle but stubborn woman.
In Ye Chen's heart, Xiao He was his biological mother. He had always thought of her during the few years he left. However, not long ago, when he returned to the place where he lived before, he learned that Xiao He had passed away.
Gu Mengyao was the only relative he knew about Xiao He in the world. He vowed to take good care of Gu Mengyao.
The reason why he chose such a restaurant was to take care of Gu Mengyao's emotions. Wu Guangfu had already given her all Gu Mengyao's information before coming to school.
Gu Mengyao now rents alone in an ordinary apartment one kilometer away from Changnan No. 1 Middle School. In addition to going to and from school every day, she also works part-time as a waitress at the "Night Banquet" bar in the center of the city to maintain her food and clothing expenses.
Every year, she gets a scholarship from the school with excellent results, relying on her own hands and self-reliance to do everything.
Although he now owns a Chenfeng Group with assets worth tens of billions, if he suddenly proposed to change Gu Mengyao's house to provide living expenses, Gu Mengyao would never accept it.
Gu Mengyao has a strong self-esteem and has to do everything by herself to create wealth by herself. Otherwise, she would not always keep a distance from Ou Haochen and would have agreed to his pursuit long ago.
Ye Chen doesn't want to change her life now, but wants to accompany her in a lifestyle that synchronizes with hers. This kind of Gu Mengyao is the most real Gu Mengyao.
During the meal, Gu Mengyao was very happy, talking to Ye Chen about what had happened in the past few years, and also recounted her own situation.
Although Ye Chen already knew it, he still pretended not to know and listened carefully.
When Gu Mengyao asked him about his experiences in the past few years, he just casually mentioned some irrelevant things and blurted it out.
"By the way, girl, I'm here to see you. I'm in a hurry. The admission procedures are all temporary. I haven't found a place to live yet. Where do you live? Is there any good house nearby?"
Ye Chen had a thought in his mind and asked deliberately.
In fact, he had already moved into the "Wanjiang Paradise" Villa No. 1 arranged for him by Wu Guangfu, but in order to be with Gu Mengyao, he deliberately said that he had no place to live and waited for Gu Mengyao to speak.
The apartment Gu Mengyao rented had two bedrooms and one living room, so he could move into it.
As expected, Gu Mengyao hurriedly said: "That's great, brother Ye Chen, the apartment I'm renting now has two bedrooms and one living room. I'm the only one living there. I'll tell the landlord and you can move in directly, right?"
She looked at Ye Chen expectantly. After all, they had lived together for half a year before, and she missed the time when she and Ye Chen could talk about anything.
"Really? Of course I'd be happy to, so we can live together and share the rent!"
