Chapter 144 I'll give you one million

  On the other side of the hotel lobby, there is actually a semi-open rest area with a small bar that offers various drinks and food. Although it's already quite late now, guests staying in this resort hotel usually don't end their night so early. While most may have gone elsewhere or are enjoying themselves in their rooms, at this moment, there are still about ten people in the rest area.

  The hotel lobby service desk still has a few people on duty at this moment, and in addition to that, the lobby also has security guards. As a high-end hotel, they usually pay great attention to service and safety.

  Ning Fan and Tong Hua's low conversation hadn't drawn anyone's attention, after all, this kind of situation was quite common. However, at this moment, along with that angry shout, everyone's attention was also attracted over.

  Everyone saw a young man rushing towards the elevator in anger, and at the elevator, a young couple seemed to be pulling and tugging at each other. Suddenly, everyone's eyes widened as they realized it was another love triangle.

  Although the actual situation was that Ning Fan was using his hand to stop Tong Hua from entering the elevator, in other people's eyes, it seemed as if the situation was exactly the opposite. From a distance, it looked like Ning Fan was trying to pull Tong Hua into the elevator, but Tong Hua was unwilling.

  The two security guards also quickly walked towards the elevator, apparently they did not want the guests to have a conflict here, no matter who was right or wrong, if something happened, the hotel would be at fault.

  Ning Fan naturally saw the man rushing over, he didn't know this man, but he vaguely guessed his identity.

  "Miss Tonghua, it should be your fiancé who has come to find you, right?" Ning Fan smiled faintly. Although he had known that Tonghua was engaged, Ning Fan hadn't inquired about her fiancé's situation before. However, he vaguely remembered the voice of this man.

  Tong Hua's face changed slightly, and she hastily exited the elevator, rushing towards the newcomer.

  "Guo Han, don't misunderstand me, I just..." Tong Hua hastily wanted to explain.

  "Fairy tale, you don't need to explain. My childhood told me that it's Ning Fan who is bothering you." The person who came was actually Fairy Tale's fiancé, Guo Han. He interrupted Fairy Tale's explanation and softly comforted her: "Don't worry, I'll take care of this matter. I'll make him dare not bother you again."

  Without giving Ning Fang a chance to continue speaking, Guo Han walked towards the elevator, his voice turning cold: "Ning Fang, if you're a man, come out and we'll settle this like men!"

  After hesitating for a few seconds, Ning Fan still walked out of the elevator. Although he didn't want to get entangled, he was very clear that if he didn't settle things now, his fiancé Tong Hua might not let it go.

  "Gentlemen, please don't be impulsive. Please solve the problem in a civilized and lawful manner." One of the two security guards who had walked over said.

  The meaning of this sentence is actually clear: quarreling is okay, but fighting is not allowed.

  "Don't worry, I'm a civilized person, I won't resort to violence." Guo Han said to the security guard, then turned back to Ning Fan, "I know what you want, isn't it just money? Name your price, how much do you want to disappear from Tong Hua's sight forever?"

  "You two are really a good match, always talking about money." Ning Fan couldn't help but shake his head. "I've already told Tong Hua once, and now I'll tell you again - I'm really not interested in entangling myself with her, and I'm willing to disappear from her sight. However, the precondition is that you two don't appear before me."

  Pausing for a moment, Ning Fan added: "I want to clarify once again that from start to finish, I didn't entangle with you guys, but rather it was you who came to entangle me."

  "What's wrong with you? Are we bothering you? What's your problem?" Guo Han looked at Ning Fan with disdain, "You're not interested in bothering Tong Hua? Who the hell believes that? You came here to bother her, didn't you? If it wasn't for you, Tong Hua wouldn't be here."

  Glancing at the onlookers around him, Guo Han continued to sneer: "You don't want to talk about money? Are you trying to pretend to be noble with me? Bah, just look at you, and you still don't want to talk about money? You must be thinking of asking for more money. Look at yourself now, you're so down on your luck that you can't even afford a clean set of clothes. How dare you tell me not to discuss money when you're as poor as this?"

  Many people subconsciously looked at Ning Fan, and then compared Ning Fan and Guo Han. They found that if they only talked about looks, Ning Fan had an absolute advantage. However, when looking at the clothes on their bodies, the gap was really too big.

  Many people are connoisseurs, and at a glance, they can see that Guo Han's outfit is worth at least hundreds of thousands, and the watch on his hand is also worth tens of thousands. Although he may not be a top-notch rich man, he is definitely not short of money. But looking at Ning Fan, the total value of his outfit is unknown, but it's probably only a few hundred yuan, estimated to be around several hundred. This is tolerable, but it's also dirty and shabby, which is a bit too embarrassing.

  Ning Fan also knew that he now looked quite disheveled, but whoever was trapped in the collapsed tunnel for a whole night and had been digging his way out all along wouldn't have clean clothes anyway.

  It's not that he doesn't want to change clothes, it's just that he has no clothes to change into right now, and at this late hour, he also doesn't want to go buy clothes.

  Ning Fan could feel the disdain in many people's eyes, the sympathy in some people's eyes, and even the expression of disgust in others' eyes. To them, Ning Fan was probably not much different from a beggar.

  "I'm saying it for the last time, I came here to accompany a friend on an errand, and had nothing to do with Tong Hua. And tonight, Tong Hua was the one who called me first." Ning Fan finally lost his patience, "As for whether I'm poor or down on my luck, this really has nothing to do with either of you two. I really have no interest in continuing to entangle with you two, so it's best if you two just disappear."

  "Hey, you're talking big, but in reality, aren't you just trying to get us to give you more money? Ning Fan, where's your friend? I'm not a person who makes unreasonable demands. You should have your friend come out and prove it!"

  Glancing around at the crowd, Guo Han's tone was full of sarcasm: "Everyone, is any one of you his friend? I think it's impossible for you to have such a friend, right?"

  A burst of laughter came over, and a group of people shook their heads. How could they be friends with someone so poor that he didn't even have clothes to wear? It would lower their status.

  "Guo Han, never mind, he's also quite pitiful." Tong Hua spoke up at this time, seeming to be a bit reluctant. Finally, she looked at Ning Fang again and said softly: "Ning Fang, if you think one million is not enough, we can add more. You name a number, money is just a small matter for us."

  "Did you hear that? If you want money, speak up, don't drag it out." Guo Han immediately chimed in, with a look of disdain. "What's wrong? You think asking for money in front of all these people is embarrassing? I'm telling you, when you're as poor as you are, you can't afford to have dignity! If you want money, you'll lose face, if you want to save face, you won't get any money. It's almost midnight now, before 12 o'clock, you tell me a number, after 12 o'clock, everything is off the table!"

  Guo Hanshan said with increasing momentum: "Don't think we're really afraid of you, we just want to use a simpler way to solve it. If you insist on entangling and not letting go, I have plenty of ways to make you worse off than you are now!"

  "Alright, you want to talk about money? Then let's talk about money!" Ning Fan finally lost his patience and his tone turned cold.

  "Haha, I thought you could stay noble forever, how? Can't pretend anymore? Alright, I love talking about money, speak up, how much?" Guo Han's tone was full of disdain, and the onlookers were mostly somewhat scornful. If Ning Fan could really keep insisting on not wanting money, they would at least think he had some backbone, although in this day and age, backbone wasn't worth much either.

  Even those two security guards now look down on Ning Fan a bit, this guy looks quite handsome, but seems to be only suitable for eating soft rice.

  "One million." Ning Fan slowly spat out a number, and this number made Guo Han disdainful. This guy's vision was really narrow, thinking one million was a huge sum of money?

  Others also shook their heads, emotions are worthless these days, one million can buy them off.

  But Ning Fan's next sentence made everyone present think they had a problem with their ears.

  "As long as you two disappear from my sight immediately, I'll give you one million!" Ning Fang's voice was cold and detached. Although he had already let go of the past, after all, they had been in love for five years, and he didn't want to make things too awkward. However, Tong Hua and her fiancé thought he was easy to bully, becoming more and more overbearing, until he finally couldn't bear it anymore.

  Throwing money at people was something Ning Fang had always looked down on, but now he couldn't help but want to do it himself. Wasn't it just about the money? He might not have as much as they did now, but he could still take out a million and throw it at them!

  "What did you say?" Guo Han looked at Ning Fan with an incredulous gaze, he thought he had misheard, and Tong Hua was the same, although she didn't speak, but also had a look of utter bewilderment.

  "I wasn't a cruel person to begin with, even if I've lost interest in fairy tales, I still wanted us to part on good terms. But since you insist on clinging to me, I'll have to be a bit cruel! Ning Fang gazed coldly at Tong Hua, "You said your best youth was given to me, so I'll give you one million as compensation for your so-called 'youth loss'. I only have one condition: that you all disappear from my sight immediately and never come back to bother me again!"

  Everyone heard clearly, and those who were originally just onlookers not knowing the inside story suddenly became interested. It seems that things are not as simple as they seem? Does this seemingly down-and-out guy actually turn out to be a low-key show-off?

  Even if you pretend to be a big shot, don't have to pretend like a beggar, right?

  "Hahaha, I'm dying of laughter! You're really good at pretending, aren't you? One million? Can you even take out one million? Do you think I don't know what kind of person you are? You've been a useless cop for three years, and if you didn't eat or drink for three years, you'd only have 100,000. Now you're opening your mouth and saying one million?" Guo Han burst into laughter, "I'm telling you, Ning Fang, can you be any more ridiculous? You clearly know we won't take your money, but you're intentionally saying this, right?"

  Guo Han paused for a moment, then sneered: "Want to show off in front of me? I won't let you have your way. Alright, now it's your turn, take out 1 million and see?"
