Trading system, I exchanged vegetables for golden pills.

This immediately dispelled Ye Chen's idea of ​​becoming fat overnight.

Well, it's good that there's a cooldown period.

Otherwise, who could resist such a temptation!

He might be unable to resist ordering takeout as soon as it's available, and end up starving to death without even realizing it, becoming a miser!

Don't underestimate human desires; they can expand infinitely.

It seems the system set a cooldown period to prevent him from becoming addicted, which is quite thoughtful.

Looking at the countdown timer, Ye Chen was filled with anticipation and hope.

Ye Chen checked the time; it was almost time to get off work.

Since they've all skipped work, it's a good opportunity to go find Chen Shuyuan and clarify things in person.

After all, it's been almost six years of dating. If you're going to break up, you should do it face to face. Even if you're getting a divorce, you should get a marriage certificate. What kind of talk is a phone call? It's disrespectful to those six years and to him.

Ye Chen went to a nearby flower shop and spent 398 yuan to buy a bouquet of roses. Of course, he never brings anything empty-handed, even when meeting others.

Buying flowers might be the last act of dignity in ending a relationship, or it might be a form of revenge spending after suddenly becoming rich. In short, that's just how people are; they can't feel good without spending money to save face.

This is perhaps what is meant by "being generous when poor".

Ye Chen hailed a ride-hailing car; it wouldn't be convenient for him to squeeze onto a bus while carrying the flowers.

About seven or eight minutes later, the vehicle arrived at its destination, the Zhonghai Building!

Ye Chen got out of the car carrying the roses.

However, when he turned around and saw the scene at the entrance of the building, he was stunned for a moment.

A man and a woman were standing prominently at the entrance of the building. The woman was holding the man's hand and leaning slightly against him.

Ye Chen seemed to understand everything in an instant, and no longer harbored any illusions.

He took a deep breath and strode over.

The woman was Chen Shuyuan, and Ye Chen also recognized the man; he was their college classmate, Zhang Zihao.

Chen Shuyuan also caught sight of Ye Chen by chance, and was slightly taken aback.

A hint of panic and confusion flashed in his eyes. Why was Ye Chen here?

The next moment, Chen Shuyuan instinctively let go of Zhang Zihao's hand, her expression somewhat unnatural.

Zhang Zihao seemed to notice Chen Shuyuan's unusual behavior, and his gaze fell on Ye Chen.

After a moment of stunned silence, he immediately smiled and said, "Hehe, Ye Chen, long time no see!"

As he spoke, he put his arm around Chen Shuyuan's slender waist, seemingly asserting his dominance and also appearing to be provoking her.

Ye Chen ignored Zhang Zihao and stared intently at Chen Shuyuan: "Do you have anything to say?"

Chen Shuyuan took a deep breath to calm herself: "Ye, Ye Chen, I made it very clear on the phone, we've broken up!"

Chen Shuyuan's eyes darted away, like a child who had done something wrong and dared not look Ye Chen in the eye.

"You've wanted to break up with me for a long time, haven't you? You even found someone else in advance?!" Ye Chen chuckled.

"I..." Chen Shuyuan wanted to say something, but Zhang Zihao interrupted her, "Hehe, Ye Chen, Shuyuan is my girlfriend now, please speak with some respect!"

"Shut up! Did I talk to you?" Ye Chen suddenly shouted.

Zhang Zihao wasn't angry: "Tsk tsk tsk, Ye Chen, this isn't university anymore. You have to face reality. Do you want Shuyuan to continue living in a tiny 10-square-meter apartment with you for the rest of her life?!"

"Hehe, buying a bunch of cheap roses must have cost a lot of money. How many bunches could you buy with a salary of 3500? Haha—"

"Oh, by the way, Shuyuan chose me a year ago. She's already my woman, tsk tsk, so succulent!"

Zhang Zihao burst into laughter as he spoke.

Ye Chen felt an uncontrollable surge of anger in his chest and stepped forward to slap Zhang Zihao across the face!

This slap is the last vestige of a man's dignity.

With a "smack!", Ye Chen struck out in anger.

Zhang Zihao stumbled and fell to the ground, completely dazed and dizzy!

After a few seconds, Zhang Zihao seemed to recover and shouted in a muffled voice, "You, you dare hit me!"

As he spoke, he spat out a mouthful of bloody phlegm, which also contained a back molar!

Ye Chen's slap knocked out one of his teeth!

"You're asking for it! I'm going to cripple you!"

Seeing the teeth on the floor, Zhang Zihao became even more furious and struggled to get up, ready to fight Ye Chen to the death.

He was slapped in the face in front of Chen Shuyuan, and his teeth were knocked out. How could he tolerate this?

Ye Chen stood still, and Zhang Zihao got up and punched Ye Chen in the shoulder!

Ye Chen took a solid punch from his opponent!

This was naturally something Ye Chen did intentionally.

After delivering that slap, Ye Chen regained some composure and made a general assessment of the current situation.

I'm not afraid of you fighting back, I'm afraid of you not fighting back. If you fight back, then it's a mutual fight!

Ye Chen endured the pain in his shoulder and kicked Zhang Zihao away.

Ye Chen had taken law as an elective in college, although it was just to get some credits, but he still learned a little bit about it.

Between hitting someone and engaging in mutual fighting, the latter is naturally more advantageous to him.

Ye Chen was a full half-head taller than Zhang Zihao, and he wasn't spoiled, so he could easily bully Zhang Zihao.

Zhang Zihao was kicked away by Ye Chen, and his fighting ability was almost completely depleted.

He curled up like a shrimp, groaning and moaning, and didn't recover for a long time!

Chen Shuyuan was so frightened that she instinctively called the police.

Then he ran towards the direction where Zhang Zihao had fallen.

Seeing this, Ye Chen became even angrier. A surge of anger welled up inside him, and he rushed forward to kick Zhang Zihao again.

"Have you made enough of a scene? I've already called the police!" Chen Shuyuan yelled at Ye Chen, her eyes bloodshot.

Ye Chen sneered, "You have the nerve to ask me if I've had enough? So you've already hooked up with someone else, and you're still asking me for living expenses every month?!"

"I... that was given to me voluntarily, not something I asked you for!" Chen Shuyuan's expression changed, but she still spoke with a straight face.

Zhang Zihao spat out a mouthful of bloody phlegm: "Hmph, you only transfer that little bit to her every month, and you still have the nerve to say that?"

"A poor bastard like you who only knows brute force—any woman who chooses you is blind!"

Zhang Zihao gritted his teeth and leaned against Chen Shuyuan, growling in a low voice.

Ye Chen looked at his first love from college, at this girl who was still so innocent back then, at the beautiful memories he had cherished for six years...

"Okay, you guys are really something, hahaha—"

At that moment, Ye Chen smiled!

That smile contained a multitude of emotions, and the last vestige of illusion vanished instantly.

"You should leave. The police are coming soon. Don't bother us anymore!" Chen Shuyuan looked at Ye Chen with a hint of guilt in her eyes, but it quickly turned cold.

"Leave? You can't leave. You think you can just walk away after hitting someone? Security! Security!" Zhang Zihao clearly didn't want to let Ye Chen off so easily.

The commotion quickly attracted a crowd of onlookers, many of whom pointed and commented on the scene.

"Pah, materialistic woman!"

"What do you know? You wouldn't choose someone with a car and a house, but instead choose a poor person to live with? Don't talk like that without understanding the situation!"

"Ha, women!"

"A man who isn't ruthless won't have a stable position!"

"You guys are obviously a bunch of poor losers, you deserve to be single forever!"

......

Some people in the crowd who were watching the spectacle actually started to discuss the matter at hand and began to argue.

Several building security guards had been standing by and watching for a while.

They finally understood: the guy lying on the ground had stolen someone else's girlfriend.

According to the rules of the underworld, taking what belongs to someone else will only result in a beating, which is considered a light punishment.

Now that this kid is making such a racket, the security guards are too lazy to pay him any attention.

Just then, sirens blared, and the police arrived!
