Chapter 113 Uncertain Future
Chapter 113 Uncertain Future
Watching the two walk away hand in hand, Zhang Yue's heart broke.
He was unwilling to accept it, unwilling to accept it!
Why is it that, besides being a bit more handsome, having more hair, being a bit taller, and having fairer skin than me...
What can compare to me?
Thinking of this, Zhang Yue stubbornly got up from the ground and strode over to the two of them.
He spread his arms to block the two.
Ning Caicai frowned upon seeing this, her eyes blazing with fury.
"Zhang Yue, can't you see I have a boyfriend? If you dare to cause any more trouble, believe me, I'll call the police and have you arrested!"
"Cai Cai, I really don't understand what's so good about this person!" Zhang Yue pointed at Ye Lan's nose and cursed angrily.
Ye Lan looked down at Ning Caicai and uttered two words with obvious disgust: "Caicai?"
Upon hearing this, Ning Caicai's face flushed red, as beautiful and radiant as the sunset.
"He called it himself, it has nothing to do with me."
"What a disgusting name, how could he say it?"
"Ask him, don't ask me, I don't know."
Watching Ning Caicai and Ye Lan bickering and flirting, the fire of jealousy in his heart burned even more fiercely.
"Kid, what university did you go to?"
“Me?” Ye Lan pointed to herself and said calmly, “I didn’t go to university. I started working in society right after graduating from high school.”
Upon hearing this, Zhang Yue's face was filled with disdain; he felt he had victory in his grasp.
Steady, steady.
His expression suddenly softened, and he spoke with great affection:
"Cai Cai, how can you entrust your life to a man who hasn't even gone to university?"
Ning Caicai gritted her teeth in anger: "It's none of your business."
Ye Lan was completely unaffected by Zhang Yue's words and shrugged very easily:
"Actually, I have always firmly believed in one sentence: the college entrance examination can only filter out academic failures, not human failures."
"Who are you calling scum!" Zhang Yue immediately broke down.
"Hey, don't take it personally. I haven't said the rest of my sentence yet."
"When a person can only rely on their academic qualifications, it proves that they have nothing else to offer besides their academic qualifications."
These words were like a sharp knife piercing Zhang Yue's heart, and even spinning around in it.
Zhang Yue took a deep breath, his whole body pounding with excitement.
However, Ye Lan's words really hit Zhang Yue's sore spot. In junior and senior high school, he always thought he was a prodigy with exceptional learning talent, one in a hundred!
But after arriving at the mathematics departments of Tsinghua and Peking Universities, he realized how ridiculous and pathetic his prized talent was.
There are plenty of people in the same class who are better than him.
No matter how hard he tried, he could only look up to him and could never surpass him.
In that campus teeming with geniuses, he was just an insignificant speck of dust.
However, right now, in front of the woman he loves, he absolutely cannot admit to this.
"I graduated from Tsinghua and Peking University, prestigious universities, and have a bright future ahead of me. But what do you have?"
"Me? I only have a job that pays a million a month, 50 in savings and a 50 car. I have no plans for the future, I'm lost and just drifting along, waiting to die."
Zhang Yue was so angry he almost vomited blood after hearing this. A job that pays a million a month, and he's feeling lost?
Zhang Yue may be proud, but he's not arrogant to the point of being disdainful of others.
He'd be laughing in his sleep if he earned a million a year, let alone a million a month!
"Most importantly, I have a woman you love but can't have, yet who loves me deeply."
Ye Lan and Ning Caicai held hands, their eyes filled with deep affection.
These words were like rubbing salt into Zhang Yue's wound, adding insult to injury.
He stood there, petrified, heartbroken once again.
"Alright, this time he should be permanently petrified."
Ye Lan clapped her hands, feeling a sense of accomplishment as if she had accomplished something great.
"This guy has been driving me crazy lately. If you hadn't been here today, I don't even want to think how things would have turned out."
Ning Caicai glared at Zhang Yue, then felt a huge weight lifted off her shoulders.
So, being liked by someone is such a troublesome thing.
"Alright, my car is just up ahead, let's go home as soon as possible."
A glint of light flashed in Lin Xueyao's eyes: "You bought a car? When did that happen!"
Ye Lan pulled out her keys from her pocket and said triumphantly, "Just this afternoon, I bought an Audi A6 for 45 RMB, cash on delivery!"
As for the matter of Wang Qianqian paying for the meal, Ye Lan didn't mention it at all.
Pointless.
Ning Caicai's mouth dropped open wide enough to fit an egg. "Wow, you're really rich. I wonder when I'll be able to buy a car on my own."
Her current internship salary is only 2300, which will be 3200 after she becomes a full-time employee.
She's just a typical white-collar worker.
After paying rent and utilities, and buying oil, rice, and instant noodles, I realized that my salary for the month had been wasted again.
As for buying a car and a house, perhaps that's just a dream.
Ning Caicai approached the car, looked at the brand-new paint, and carefully touched the body, as if the car would be damaged if she applied too much force.
"Alright, stop touching it. You'll really break it. Let's get in the car."
Ye Lan, sitting in the driver's seat, waved to Ning Caicai.
Ning Caicai wanted to sit in the passenger seat, but found that she couldn't open the door no matter what she tried.
"The passenger seat is for your girlfriend, you sit in the back."
"Humph."
Ning Caicai stomped her feet angrily, went to the back seat, and rolled her eyes at Ye Lan through the rearview mirror.
"Alright, alright, come on, have some cake to calm down."
Ye Lan handed the cake she had taken from Wang Qianqian to Ning Caicai.
Ning Caicai took the cake, slammed her fork into it, and kept her eyes fixed on Ye Lan, never leaving her for a moment.
It was as if she had stabbed Ye Lan not in a cake, but in Ye Lan's body.
Seeing this, Ye Lan gave an awkward smile and quickly started the car.
