Tycoon: I can see the goddess's wish list-Chapter 568 - 566, a bunk bed, someone sleeps on top? Two people below?
"Let’s skip lunch. Our flight is at 1:00, and it’s about time to head to the airport!" Chen Dali said.
Luofeng checked the time; it was already past 11:00.
"Alright, I’ll drive you to the airport then. I’ll head to Capital City on the 7th," Luofeng said. "By the way, don’t bother picking me up. Miss Ferrari will get me. Don’t ruin our reunion—you know what I mean!"
"Haha, I get it! Absence makes the heart grow fonder, right?" Chen Dali teased. "Can Miss Ferrari handle you?"
"And isn’t there Qin Rubing too?" Lin Xiaoyun chimed in.
Luofeng was speechless. He truly did miss the two beauties.
Lin Xiaoyun said, "Hmph, when I get back, I’ll learn how to be a ’good man’ too!"
「At the airport.」
After Luofeng had seen off Chen Dali and the others, he sent a message to Bai Ningbing.
"Baby, where are you?"
"I’m shopping with Li Feifei and the others. Do you want to come over?"
"Where are you?"
"I just sent you my location!"
"Okay, I’ll head over from the airport. I’ll treat you all to a meal later!"
"Got it, I’ll let them know!"
"Alright, see you in a bit!"
「Over at Sky Street.」
Bai Ningbing put away her phone. Li Feifei was the first to ask, "Your Luofeng? Is he checking in on you?"
Bai Ningbing didn’t avoid the topic. "Yeah, he said he wants to come over and treat us to a meal. Feifei, Xinxin, what do you guys feel like eating?"
"Since Luofeng is treating, can we choose anything we like?" Li Feifei asked with a smile.
"Of course!" Bai Ningbing said.
"Xinxin, what would you like to eat?" Li Feifei asked Zhao Xinxin.
"Anything’s fine with me!" Zhao Xinxin replied.
"Can we go for Exclusive Steak?" Li Feifei suggested.
Bai Ningbing didn’t know what Exclusive Steak was, but she still nodded. "No problem!"
Zhao Xinxin sighed to herself. Li Feifei had really changed. This was a restaurant where the average cost was 2,000 yuan per person. Although this sum wasn’t much for Luofeng, it still wasn’t appropriate to suggest such an expensive place.
...
「Over in Shu City.」
This was Culture Street, where Luofeng and the Shangguan sisters had once eaten BoBo chicken. Back then, Luofeng had surmised that the sisters’ home must be nearby. After all, if they’d eaten it since they were kids, their home had to be around here.
And he was right. The Shangguan sisters’ home was at Number 28 Culture Street. It was an old-style, six-story building, older than both Shangguan Shui’er and Shangguan Feier. Their family lived in a small, 62-square-meter, two-bedroom apartment.
From chatting with them before, Luofeng learned that the two sisters shared a room, sleeping in a bunk bed. At the time, Luofeng had even thought of some movies from Sakura Country. Wasn’t it always the person on the top bunk snoring away while the two people below...? He felt it was too unrealistic; with that much shaking, could the one sleeping on top really not wake up? Well, maybe they were just very heavy sleepers? Or perhaps the director didn’t let them wake up?
Meanwhile, at the Shangguan home, an argument was unfolding.
"Shangguan, I don’t want to argue with you, but this time we truly don’t have the means!" Liu Shanshan said calmly. "You’re well aware of our family’s situation, aren’t you?"
Liu Shanshan was clearly the Shangguan sisters’ mother. She still possessed a graceful charm; in her youth, she must have been a great beauty.
Shangguan Hua replied, "Can’t you be reasonable? She’s my mother. How can I neglect her?" Shangguan Hua was, naturally, the sisters’ father. He appeared quite refined, still a handsome middle-aged man. He was a language arts teacher, while Liu Shanshan taught art.
In his youth, Shangguan Hua could recite beautiful poetry and wrote heart-stirring love letters. Combined with his handsome looks and refined demeanor, he had successfully pursued Liu Shanshan. That, however, was a characteristic of a bygone era. In this day and age? Marrying such a great beauty would be incredibly difficult.
Liu Shanshan said angrily, "Isn’t she also your Sponsors’ mother? When the old lady’s house was demolished, your Sponsors took all the resettlement money for themselves, promising to care for your mother. Have you forgotten?
"If your Sponsors were having difficulties and couldn’t care for her, I would have taken her in without a second thought!
"Even if our family were slightly better off, if our house had three bedrooms, I would have felt it was fine to take her in, no matter what. But we only have two rooms! Where would Mother stay?
"Are we supposed to set up a bed for her in the living room?
"Shangguan Hua, don’t you have any idea how much hardship I’ve endured with you over these many years?
"But have I ever complained?
"This time, we truly don’t have the means. I’m not stopping you from being filial; I’m suggesting we send Mother to an Old People’s Home, and we’ll cover the expenses!
"You’re being so unreasonable! I really can’t communicate with you!"
Hearing this, Shangguan Hua fell silent.
In their bedroom, Shangguan Shui’er and Shangguan Feier listened to their parents’ quarrel, their hearts heavy.
...
「Elsewhere.」
「Sky Street.」
Luofeng arrived by car at 12:30 p.m. Bai Ningbing and her two friends were waiting for Luofeng at a milk tea shop.
"Hello, beauties!" Luofeng greeted them first.
Li Feifei’s looks scored over seventy points. Zhao Xinxin was a bit plainer, with an ordinary appearance.
Li Feifei spoke first, "Long time no see, Luofeng!"
"Indeed, it’s been a long time!" Zhao Xinxin echoed.
"Babe, have you decided what to eat?" Luofeng asked, ignoring the subtle warmth in Li Feifei’s tone.
"Yes, we’re going to Exclusive Steak. Do you know it?" Bai Ningbing replied.
Luofeng paused for a moment. Of course, he knew it; it was a rather high-end steak restaurant where the average cost per person was 2,000 yuan.
"No problem, let’s go!" Luofeng said. "I’m starving. I didn’t eat much for breakfast and have been running around all morning!"
"Mmhmm!" Bai Ningbing sweetly took Luofeng’s arm.
Li Feifei teased, "Wow, such a Public Display of Affection! I’m getting jealous!"
Luofeng casually asked, "You’re still single?"
"Yes!" Li Feifei replied.
"Let me introduce you to someone. I have a bunch of single friends," Luofeng teased.
Li Feifei pondered. Luofeng is so outstanding. Birds of a feather flock together, don’t they? His friends must be excellent too.
She hadn’t considered competing with Bai Ningbing; the difference between them was too clear. But a boyfriend introduced by Luofeng? That might be a good option.
"Sure!" Li Feifei said.
"How about Li Jie? I know that guy pretty well. He’s a good person and a local, so he won’t have any of those post-graduation troubles," Luofeng suggested.
Li Feifei looked a bit awkward. Li Jie had pursued her before, but she hadn’t been interested, mainly because Li Jie’s circumstances were too ordinary. Li Feifei wanted to find someone well-off; she wanted to be like Bai Ningbing.
