Chapter 43 It Is So Hot

“Yeah, he is the loyal lover I was talking about. Isn’t he handsome?” Gu Li said smilingly. He waved at Victor, and said: “Victor, come. We are all waiting for you.” But Victor was motionless. He was obviously hesitating. Frankly speaking, he didn’t hate her that much, because he knew it was rather reckless to demand to cure her sister when he doesn’t even have work permit. But he found her way too arrogant, and he hated it when she kept talking about putting him in prison. “What a coincidence. Your name is Victor?” Yiyi laughed dryly. She leaned back into the chair, holding a glass of wine, and looked at Victor condescendingly. “Yes it indeed is. I never expected to meet you here.” Victor said politely. The others were all confused by their conversations. “You know each other?” Gu Li and Jing Zhang were confused. Their eyes flitted from Victor to Yiyi, and then from Yiyi to Victor. The reason why they were so surprised was because Victor and Yiyi were people from completely different social classes. Victor is just an average man, but Yiyi is from a grand family which is well-known in the whole Jingan District. They then noticed Yiyi was looking at Victor with great resentment, which confused them even more. “That’s nice. I can spare the efforts of making another introduction. Victor, come over here. You can sit next to Yiyi.” Gu Li pointed at the seat. “Forget about it. You remember the frauds I was just talking about? Well, he is one of them. Thank you for introducing this man to me.” Yiyi said sarcastically. Then the crowd lapsed into dead silence. She continued: “I wonder how you escaped from prison? Yiyi knew the police wouldn’t let him go free easily. Her mom called her uncle who works in the Health Department, and he should be jailed just for the fact that he has no work permit. “How is that possible? Victor is not this kind of person. I think there is misunderstanding and we should talk this through.” Gu Li tried to ease the tension. “Victor, you should apologize to Yiyi. We will see each other often in the future, and we don’t want any bad feeling.” “Yeah. Victor, you can tell us if you have some problems and we will surly help you. Besides, it’s okay for a young man to make some mistakes as long as he corrects them. Come here.” Xiaojin and Kai Lin waved at Victor. But Qianqian and Yun Wang were obviously disappointed. The efforts Gu Li spared to create a positive image for Victor in front of Jing Zhang proved to be in vain. She didn’t care whether a fraud is loyal or not, nor did she care whether he is handsome or not. She hates frauds, and if there is anything that she hates even more, it is a poor fraud. Victor walked to them anyway, but then Yiyi stood up and said coldly: “I have some unfinished business. I must go.” Then she grabbed her bag and walked away without looking back. She had no reason to stay. She came to this party for Jing Zhang’s sake, and she also wanted to see whether Gu Li’s friends are also like him, who has a great family background. But the moment she saw Kai Lin and Xiaojin, her enthusiasm was great dampened. They are just two pathetic losers who are less attractive than the most hideous boys in her class. She didn’t understand why would Gu Li even take them to this party. But she refrained her anger because there was Victor who still didn’t show up. But when Victor finally showed up, she almost threw up. To go to a party with a fraud who almost killed her sister and who tried to cheat her money is something she could never imagine. And she found the whole incident absurd and repulsive. So she decided not to disgust herself anymore, and she left. It was rather awkward when Yiyi left. Yun Wang and Qianqian also wanted to leave but they stayed due to Jing Zhang. Victor was then exposed to the sardonic barb of theirs. Victor knew these people very well. They don’t like him because they thought he is poor. If he showed his real power and wealth off, they would surly change their attitude. Yiyi would surly stop judging him, and Daisy would surly stop dating Carl when she was engaged to him. But Victor didn’t want to make his real identity known, because he didn’t want to lose Dinah and he knew his wealth would also create a distance between him and his good buddies, and he doesn’t want that to happen. Money can not buy you real friendship and genuine love. He values everything he has got and he chooses not to give a damn about these people who judge him because of his wealth. Because he knows when everything about him was made public, they would be overwhelmed by regret for not building a good connection with him. And before that day, he wants to earn something that can not be purchased. “I need to go. Have fun. Don’t let our big brother down.” Victor found an excuse and left. His existence could only make the others feel awkward, because his roommates were always trying to defend him. He wanted his roommates to have a good time and to focus on the girls they want to have a date with. When they all got back, it was very late, and they were very drunk. “Did you have fun?” Victor asked smilingly. “Don’t even bring it up. It was hell. These two women are just like Yiyi. They were always talking about things that we don’t understand, and they were obviously trying to make us feel bad about ourselves and then make us give up on our hopes.” “They are mean.” Now Xiaojin knew what it is like to be humiliated. “I think you misunderstood them. They are talking about these things all the time. So they were not trying to intimidate you. But it’s okay. Jing Zhang can ask them out again, and you can meet them again next week. Don’t feel so bad. What if you win?” Gu Li tried to comfort them. “So do you like these girls or not?” Victor asked smilingly. “Of course we like them. They are so beautiful and they are so intelligent. But they are also so out of our league. They set their standard pretty high and they will never like us.” Kai Lin sighed. “Then you can meet them more often. Our big brother is helping you with this. What are you afraid of,” Victor said. Then, Gu Li, who was playing with his phone, shouted hysterically all of a sudden: “Victor, you must check your phone. It’s so insanely hot!”
