Chapter 142: A Secret Hard to Tell

Not only did Tang Lin think so, but all the onlookers did too. Any man would probably get angry after hearing such words, right?

Normally speaking, their thoughts were indeed correct. However, they forgot that the man in front of them was Ji Beichuan, whose mind couldn't be measured by normal people's standards.

"There's nothing wrong with clinging to someone for support. I like it. If you have the ability, you can do it too." Under the gazes of the crowd, Ji Beichuan slowly spoke, and every word hit the onlookers like a hammer.

It was as if clinging to someone for support was a glorious thing.

The quarrel between the two that everyone had expected didn't happen, which surprised Tang Lin.

"You're shameless! As a man, you rely on a woman!" Several onlookers gritted their teeth in hatred after hearing Ji Beichuan's words.

Why did they feel that Ji Beichuan's words were so infuriating?

"Well, I'm willing to. What can you do? Who asked my girlfriend to be so rich? It's still very difficult for you to find a girlfriend as rich as mine." Ji Beichuan wasn't flustered at all. He didn't feel embarrassed. On the contrary, he felt quite proud.

"..." Most of the onlookers fell silent. They didn't know if it was because of Ji Beichuan's thick skin or something else.

"I think what he said makes a lot of sense. Wuwu, is there any rich woman willing to support me? I can live off a woman." Some onlookers said they were envious.

They didn't want to work hard anymore. Was it still too late to find someone to cling to?

"I think what he said is right. We want to find a rich woman, but rich women won't take a fancy to us. Moreover, Ji Beichuan's family is really rich. It's not worse than Shen Nanyi's family. There's no need to say such unpleasant things." Some of Shen Nanyi's fans in the crowd stood on Shen Nanyi's side one after another.

"What kind of money can a gigolo have?" Several sycophants on Tang Lin's side still didn't give up. They wanted to provoke Ji Beichuan.

They simply didn't think that Ji Beichuan had any economic strength.

In fact, it was really true that the ignorant were fearless.

"Indeed, my boyfriend's family doesn't have much money. It just has a company with assets of nearly a hundred billion." When it came to showing off, Shen Nanyi had never been convinced by anyone. Her words shocked the people around her.

"Just keep bragging. Who would believe it..." Although what Shen Nanyi said was the truth, the number was too huge for the people around them. It was so huge that they simply didn't want to believe it.

However, before they could finish speaking, a Rolls - Royce Phantom stopped beside them. A man dressed as a driver got out of the car.

"Sir, the restaurant has been reserved. You and Miss Shen can go there for dinner now." The driver opened the car door for the two of them very considerately. His voice wasn't loud, but it was loud enough for everyone to hear clearly.

Those who had intended to make some sarcastic remarks fell silent after seeing the luxury car behind Ji Beichuan.

Most boys liked cars and knew the value of the car behind Ji Beichuan. Thinking about what they had said before, they wished they could knock their heads against a wall.

They turned to look at Tang Lin, hoping that she would say something for them, since they were standing up for her.

But Tang Lin acted as if she didn't see them. She turned her head to look elsewhere, with a faint smile on her face, still looking noble and elegant.

Shen Nanyi and Ji Beichuan got in the car and left, leaving the stunned people standing there, not knowing whether to leave or stay. They felt their faces burning.

Tang Lin left faster than anyone else. Before anyone could react, she had already left.

After getting rid of the trouble of Tang Lin, Shen Nanyi thought she could have a good meal with Ji Beichuan. However, she didn't expect to see Wu Fang, whom she hadn't seen for a long time, in the restaurant.

Different from the plain clothes when she had seen Wu Fang before, Wu Fang was now wearing very expensive clothes, and even the bag in her hand was the latest model of this year.

The moment the three of them met in the restaurant, Wu Fang's eyes on Ji Beichuan changed. She trotted over and wanted to hug Ji Beichuan.

The moment he saw Wu Fang, Ji Beichuan was already prepared. He slightly dodged to the side, and Wu Fang missed. She looked at Ji Beichuan in disbelief.

Without even looking at Wu Fang, Ji Beichuan held Shen Nanyi's hand and walked towards the private room. Unexpectedly, Wu Fang chased after them relentlessly.

"Did I do something wrong? Why has your attitude towards me changed so much?" Wu Fang asked carefully. Her words made Ji Beichuan's face turn completely ugly.

Shen Nanyi looked at the two of them curiously. She naturally trusted Ji Beichuan, but what Wu Fang said didn't seem to be fake.

Standing there, biting her lips and looking at Wu Fang, Ji Beichuan's last bit of patience was worn out.

"Leave now, and I can act as if I didn't see you." When he spoke again, Ji Beichuan's voice was a bit cold.

Meeting Ji Beichuan's gaze, Wu Fang instinctively felt a little scared. She didn't know where this fear came from.

Looking at Ji Beichuan at a loss, Wu Fang didn't know what exactly went wrong. He was such a gentle person to her yesterday. Why did his attitude change so much today?

Meeting Ji Beichuan's gaze and afraid of annoying him again, Wu Fang finally didn't follow them. Instead, she watched helplessly as Ji Beichuan and Shen Nanyi walked hand in hand into the private room.

In the private room, Ji Beichuan looked at Shen Nanyi and wanted to explain something, but in the end, he didn't say a word. He just ordered food for Shen Nanyi.

"I heard that the signature dishes here are quite good. Let's have a good taste today." Throughout the whole process, Shen Nanyi never asked Ji Beichuan what was going on. Instead, she helped Ji Beichuan resolve the awkward situation and changed the topic.

Since she chose to be with Ji Beichuan, Shen Nanyi naturally trusted him.

Since Ji Beichuan didn't want to say anything, there must be a secret hard to tell. At this time, Shen Nanyi wisely chose not to ask further.

"Things in the Ji family are quite complicated. I can't explain it to you for the time being. But you have to believe that sometimes what you see isn't necessarily the truth." Looking at Shen Nanyi, the more understanding she was, the more guilty Ji Beichuan felt.

If it were just his own business, Ji Beichuan would definitely tell Shen Nanyi everything without reservation. But this matter was an exception. It involved the entire Ji family.

"Okay." Shen Nanyi nodded seriously, without any perfunctory, indicating that she had listened.

Except for the episode of Wu Fang, they had a rather happy meal.

Even though Ji Beichuan had already warned Shen Nanyi, she didn't expect the situation to come so suddenly.

On the weekend, Shen Nanyi was resting at home and learning some management knowledge from Shen Qingshan. Since she wanted to take over the Shen Group, she still wanted to do her job well.

Just then, Ling Xiaoxiao stormed into the house, leaving Shen Nanyi completely confused.
