The Billionaire's Hidden Affection-Chapter 218: Not Pitying You, But Must Pity the Money1_1

She immediately took sixty yuan from her wallet and handed it to the waiter. The man’s face instantly turned the color of liver.

Xu Xiaoya tried to give her a subtle glance, but Yan Xixi paid no attention.

Under the waiter’s ambiguous gaze, he reluctantly took out one hundred yuan. While he waited for his change, Yan Xixi, who was surprisingly still there, said calmly, "Buddy, you were a full fifty minutes late for our date today. Yet, you offered neither an explanation nor an apology. Do you even know what respect is? That’s the first point.

"Secondly, about that mortgaged house of yours. Your parents might have covered the thirty percent down payment, but the remaining hundreds of thousands for the loan? That’s something your wife will have to shoulder with you after marriage. Most of your salary and your provident fund already go toward the mortgage payments.

"So, doesn’t the woman need to contribute to living expenses? Doesn’t she share the household’s joint expenses? Doesn’t she need to raise children? How are those expenses calculated, then?

"Is adding her name to the deed after marriage really her taking such a huge advantage of you? If her name isn’t added, then are you just entitled to take advantage of her for free? You’ve hogged all the benefits, played it all so smart for yourself. What’s the other person supposed to do? So, buddy, don’t be so incredibly smug. Alright, goodbye..."

The man’s face alternated between red and white. He just gave a cold smirk but couldn’t utter a word.

Yan Xixi paid him no mind, pulling Xu Xiaoya away.

After they had walked a few steps, Xu Xiaoya looked back. The man was still standing there foolishly, waiting for his change.

The two got into a taxi and stared at each other, wide-eyed.

Xu Xiaoya looked uneasy. "Xixi, were we a bit too harsh?"

Yan Xixi chuckled dryly. "Xiaoya, if you ever bring another man like that around, don’t blame me for being rude. What’s so great about him? Is he devastatingly handsome? Filthy rich? Does he treat you well?"

"Well... he treats me decently enough."

"And what are your standards for ’decently’? That he makes a phone call? Occasionally picks up the tab for cheap things on dates? Gives you a ride home once in a while? Tells a few jokes? Xu Xiaoya, are you a fool? This guy is stingy to the bone! He orders only vegetarian dishes when he’s paying, but the moment he hears someone else is footing the bill, he immediately orders pork ribs. You think this selfish little creep is good?"

Xu Xiaoya mumbled, "I... I thought I’d just make do... Xixi, you know my situation..."

Yan Xixi was so angry she actually laughed.

Women are always like this, devaluing themselves first, and then they wonder why men look down on them.

"Xu Xiaoya, let me tell you! You’re beautiful, you have a great figure and talent, and you’re self-reliant. In what way are you inferior to anyone? You’ve already dealt with scum like Zhong Minghui. Haven’t you learned your lesson yet?"

She was furious. "Which blind idiot introduced you to this prize of a man?"

"Well... Zhou Xiaoxuan meant well," Xu Xiaoya said, her voice small. "She keeps saying that if I delay any longer, I’ll really become a ’leftover woman,’ and that having a civil servant willing to date me is already my good fortune... I figured... these men, no matter how bad, can’t be worse than Zhong Minghui, right? Honestly, I don’t need their money or for them to support me. As long as I don’t have to pay for them, I’m not trying to take advantage of them either..."

So, she’d even put up with going Dutch?!

Yan Xixi’s eyes widened like saucers. From now on, Zhou Xiaoxuan is banned from my shop! And no more discounts for her, either!

"But it’s not Little Xuanyuan’s fault either..." Xu Xiaoya added weakly. "I just thought that if I didn’t spend a man’s money, he would appreciate me and treat me better..."
