Chapter 187: Fang Guozheng! (1/2)
After Bai Xiaofei’s question, everyone in the Savage Class looked at Fang Ye expectantly, waiting for him to make his choice. However, the Savage Class members differed in what they anticipated. The girls were more inclined towards selecting the first option. They felt that the other two options were no different from cutting Fang Ye off from everyone. That would just be too sad.
As for the guys, they preferred the second option. As far as they were concerned, a real man needed to always avenge himself. If someone provoked him even once, he should let that person wallow in regret even in the afterlife.
Of course, none of them said anything out of respect for Fang Ye. For something like this, he was the only one who could make a decision he would not regret in the future. As everyone waited, Fang Ye seemed to have finally decided upon something. The hesitation on his face eased up, replaced by sadness.
“No matter what, my father is still the one who raised me. Although growing up was very difficult and miserable for me, I was still better off than those who couldn’t even afford a meal. Therefore, I am selecting the third option. I will be drawing a clear line between myself and them.”
“Are you sure?” Bai Xiaofei’s calm voice sounded. All along his gaze had never left Fang Ye. Even when Fang Ye looked at him, his gaze did not shift away.
Fang Ye blanked out slightly when he saw that Bai Xiaofei’s gaze appeared like that of a teacher questioning his student. Nevertheless, it did not take long for a resolute expression to form on Fang Ye’s face.
“I am sure.” The hesitation that was previously present in his voice was now gone.
“There is no cure for regret. If you regret this in the future, I won’t help you.” Bai Xiaofei pushed further while still fixing his gaze on Fang Ye.
“I have already made up my mind. Even if I really regret this in the future, I will deal with it myself. I won’t trouble all of you!” This time both the sadness and hesitation in his voice was gone, and taking their place was resolution.
“Good. Let us move on to the next topic.” Bai Xiaofei paused, the solemn expression vanishing from his face. His trademark rascally smirk crept onto his face. “So how many assets does your family have?”
The moment he said this, the other Savage Class members who were still maintaining solemn expressions were dumbstruck. Indeed, Bai Xiaofei could never stay serious for long.
“I’m afraid I don’t know. But I’m sure the total amount will not surpass fifty billion. After all, my family’s merchant house isn’t really that big…”
While Fang Ye said this weakly, the others were gulping.
Fifty billion…not very huge…indeed! People with different backgrounds will have different worldviews.
“Only fifty billion? I thought there would be a couple quadrillion or something,” Bai Xiaofei said nonchalantly. Once again, everyone was stunned.
Boss, you’re supposed to originate from an extremely poor place. What do you mean by only fifty billion?
Their astonishment was completely visible on their faces. It was good that Bai Xiaofei was still keeping the bet a secret from them. Or else…
“Bring me to your father. He’s probably still waiting for your answer.”
Then, Bai Xiaofei stopped and patted Fang Ye’s shoulder with a smile on his face. For some reason this gesture, which seemed incredibly normal, warmed Fang Ye’s heart. It was fortunate that Fang Ye wasn’t a woman…
“There are so many people…” Fang Ye hesitated when he looked at the eager expressions of everyone around him. The moment he spoke, Xu Chen walked towards Bai Xiaofei and held out her hand.
She said, “We are going shopping. I heard the Tailor Pavilion has restocked with a lot of new products. Class monitor, give us some money.”
With a bitter smile, Bai Xiaofei took out his Amethyst Card and transferred some money to Xu Chen. While doing so, he inwardly placed this debt on Fang Ye’s shoulder. He had even added interest on top of the debt.
