Five hundred thousand is not a small amount.
To lend so much money to someone else, what kind of relationship must there be?
Moreover, it seems Lawyer Xu and Yan Dongxu have only known each other for a short while, right?
The news that came out last time was about their first meeting.
No wonder netizens are gossiping.
If you say there's nothing between them, no one would believe it.
"I didn't know you were so rich. Lend me some money too?" Lawyer Xu said sarcastically, suddenly realizing Yan Dongxu was quite the playboy.
"I don't have much money. I lent all my savings to her." Yan Dongxu explained. He regretted it as soon as the words left his mouth.
"Oh? You lent out all your savings?" Xu Yiyi looked at him strangely.
Having been in the entertainment industry for years, she had seen many examples of men throwing money at women.
She had even seen men go bankrupt spending money on female celebrities.
She just didn't expect Yan Dongxu to be that kind of person.
"So that's how it is. I was quite touched." Xu Lu said with a hand over her mouth, laughing.
Yan Dongxu rolled his eyes.
"Lawyer Xu, what do you mean? Are you here to attack me?"
"We're live streaming, I don't want to talk about your business!" Xu Lu continued laughing. "Anyway, thanks a lot. Let me explain to everyone."
She told the story again about her father's lung cancer and borrowing money for his surgery.
She also exposed the ugly faces of the bosses who lent her money to the audience.
She reminded all women to protect themselves and not fall into traps in the future.
[Heartless bosses only think of those nasty things when they see money.]
[It's right to be thankful for lending money for your father's illness treatment, but wanting to take you to a hotel is damnable.]
[Luckily you met a good person like Yan Dongxu. Otherwise those bosses would have pestered you all the time.]
[Agree. I'll give the anchor a thumbs up for having good taste in people.]
[Helping a stranger in need with money, Yan Dongxu is heroic and righteous.]
[Is this real? Show the transfer record.]
[I don't believe he would lend so much money to someone he just met.]
...
There were approving comments and doubts among the danmu (real-time viewer comments).
Yan Dongxu didn't want to explain anything.
But Xu Lu didn't want him wrongly accused, so she took out her phone directly and showed the transfer record.
After the long string of numbers, the voices of doubt disappeared.
Only words of praise and admiration remained.
[Not bad.]
[If it were me, I wouldn't lend money to others.]
[Anchor, can you lend me some money?]
...
Suddenly many netizens started asking to borrow money.
There were thousands of borrowing requests in private messages.
"I can't lend money to you all. I couldn't lend to so many people, and I don't run a bank."
Yan Dongxu firmly rejected them. Even if the netizens' families couldn't put food on the table, he couldn't open that precedent.
Just then, there was another knock on the door.
Xu Lu opened the door.
She had expected only Zhao Police Officer, but Du Sen was with her as well.
"Please come in. We were just waiting for the barbecue you brought."
Xu Lu and Zhao Qingqing knew each other, so she greeted them enthusiastically.
She also knew Du Sen from watching his overnight livestream before.
Du Sen's arrival made Xu Yiyi very unhappy.
After all, there was some unpleasantness between them previously.
Yan Dongxu also felt it was inappropriate to call Du Sen over since it ruined the atmosphere.
"Hmm? Brother Du came too?" He asked proactively to ease the awkwardness.
Zhao Qingqing cut in, "It's because he saw your livestream. He knew I was coming, so he had to tag along and freeload."
Yan Dongxu immediately understood that Du Sen didn't feel assured about Zhao Qingqing coming to his home.
So Du Sen specifically came to keep guard against him.
But this time Du Sen overthought it. Yan Dongxu didn't have any ideas about Zhao Police Officer at all.
"It's good he came. He can use his flame superpower to heat up the barbecue skewers for us."
Zhao Qingqing had an interesting imagination.
So before they started eating, there was a scene of Du Sen using his flame power to grill the skewers.
This was also livestreamed, instantly attracting cheers from many viewers.
[My dream came true! Du did the first thing I'd want to do if I had flame powers.]
[Ah, if I had this power, I could easily open a roadside BBQ stand. So convenient.]
[Heating skewers with superpowers, hilarious!]
[Du Sen, blink twice if you were kidnapped.]
...
In a short while, the slightly cooled barbecue was reheated, giving off waves of fragrance.
Everyone sat in front of the camera and started eating on air.
This was also by popular demand from netizens.
"It's fate that brought us together today. Let me make the first toast with this wheat wine."
Yan Dongxu drank down a whole cup in one go.
"We're all gathered because of Yan Dongxu. Let's drink to him together. And to the netizens watching the livestream too."
Du Sen said very boldly.
But Xu Yiyi didn't give him any face.
After everyone drank, Du Sen made a solo toast to Xu Yiyi.
"Last time was work. Now we're friends. I apologize for being too heavy-handed."
Du Sen downed a cup. Seeing Xu Yiyi had no reaction, he downed another cup.
"Alright, Yiyi. Brother Du is very nice. He doesn't need to apologize at all. If you keep holding this in, it won't be good." Yan Dongxu persuade her.
Xu Yiyi picked up her cup, not willing to back down.
"Last time I was careless. If we get a chance, let's spar! If you really defeat me, then I'll apologize."
After speaking, she emptied her cup.
"Pah! Don't bother sparring. You two aren't even on the same level."
"Look at your little arms and legs, thin like firewood. "
"Brother Du can lightly twist your legs off."
Yan Dongxu hurriedly stopped them, afraid they might really agree to fight.
"Alright! My specialty is curing all kinds of defiance. I'll let you use one arm."
Du Sen was also a typical straight man, actually agreeing directly.
He couldn't allow others to challenge his area of expertise.
"Good! I'll toast you for being a real man!"
Xu Yiyi was also crazy, not stingy at all with the drinks as she poured another cup and toasted back.
[Hahaha, too funny!]
[Fight, fight!]
[This is way better than TV dramas!]
[Du Sen is just obsessively in love. He specifically ran over to guard against Yan Dongxu.]
[This five person romance will definitely end up with someone left out. I don't believe Xu Lu doesn't like Yan Dongxu.]
[Even dating shows aren't as good as this livestream.]
...
"Zhao Qingqing, no roasted sausage today, huh." Yan Dongxu said obsequiously.
Zhao Qingqing rolled her eyes and picked out 10 strange looking sticks from the pile of skewers.
"You probably can't handle sausages anymore. You have to eat all these sheep whips yourself!"
[Hahahahaha can't stand it, dying of laughter!]
[Yan Dongxu, what's with trying to act so impressive?]
[Hahaha turns out the clown is you!]
[Zhao Police Officer is awesome. Your bluff didn't work on her!]
[Eating 10 of those, he'll probably combust!]

e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
lities. One day, Qi Yuan was buying groceries when he unfortunately came face-to-face with a monster. Just when he thought he was going to die on the spot, he suddenly heard the monster's thoughts... "This aura, he's definitely not an ordinary master!" "So terrifying, so terrifying." "A fight with my back against the wall, I can't take it anymore." Qi Yuan: Ah, no one told me that my awakened ability isn't telepathy, but rather the stronger my enemies imagine me to be, the stronger I truly become. PS: Zhou Hai in the first chapter is not the protagonist.
