"Give me ten thousand yuan, right now, immediately."
Standing at the entrance of the Versace store, Huo Wenting, dressed in a professional suit, demanded assertively.
Facing her was Chu Xuan, his handsome face unexpectedly pale.
With his eyebrows furrowed, he asked in a hoarse voice, "Didn't I just give you five thousand two days ago? Why do you need money again?"
"Five thousand? Ha, are you living in the last century?" Huo Wenting rolled her eyes, "What can five thousand do? It'll be used up just buying a few lipsticks, okay? Stop dawdling and pay up!"
Holding back a headache, Chu Xuan reluctantly asked, "Wenting, what are you planning to buy this time?"
Huo Wenting pointed to the luxurious boutique behind her, "See that? I am a counter girl here. You think I shouldn't buy some luxury goods myself? If I don't buy anything, how can I convince the customers?"
Chu Xuan felt his temples throbbing, and explained helplessly, "Wenting, I really don't have any money left. To support you, I work overtime every day until late at night, and even have to deliver takeout. Last night, an irate customer splashed water all over me, and I'm still running a fever, I even dare not go to the hospital..."
Before he could finish, Huo Wenting interrupted him impatiently, "What does that have to do with me? Even if you contract some terminal illness, you have to give me the money today!"
Chu Xuan was immediately filled with rage, extremely disappointed with his selfish and self-centered girlfriend.
However, Huo Wenting continued to act unreasonably, "Don't pretend to be poor with me. If you really have no money, have your parents sell their house. My brother's marriage is short of three hundred thousand yuan for the betrothal gift, and the sale of your parents' house happens to solve two problems at once!"
"Wenting, you!"
Chu Xuan was so angry that his eyes were red.
"What 'you' are you referring to? Let me make it clear - don't give me any crap about your parents being old and unable to sell their house."
Huo Wenting crossed her arms over her chest, her eyes as cold as ice.
"Aren't your parents just old farmers from the countryside? Haven't they endured all kinds of hardships already? Even if they were to sell their house and start living in cardboard boxes on the street, it couldn't possibly kill them on the spot, could it?"
"So you better call your parents right now or we're over!"
Huo Wenting finished speaking, waiting for Chu Xuan to beg for mercy as he had always done.
After all, in her opinion, Chu Xuan was nothing more than a bootlicker who was always obedient to her every whim. Every time she mentioned breaking up, it would send him into an utter panic.
"Huo...Wen...Ting..."
Chu Xuan looked at the girlfriend in front of him, the last bit of affection he had for her vanishing into thin air.
Just then, a mechanical voice suddenly sounded in his mind.
"Ding! The system has detected a suitable host. The Life Apex System is connecting to you."
"DingDong! The Life Apex System has connected successfully. The system has detected that the host is facing a dilemma and provides the following options."
"Option one: Beg humbly at her feet, plead not to break up, and receive a reward of 100,000 in cash."
"Option two: Resolutely discard a gold-digging girlfriend, receive a cash reward of one million, with the chance of triggering additional rewards."
Chu Xuan was stunned for a few seconds, his mind completely blank.
He had read quite a few web novels and was familiar with this kind of system.
But he never imagined that he would one day be on the receiving end of such good luck!
"Chu Xuan, are you deaf? I'm talking to you!"
Seeing Chu Xuan's disoriented state, Huo Wenting's voice elevated by several octaves, rousing the attention of the salesgirls at the other counters.
Upon regaining his composure, Chu Xuan glanced at Huo Wenting's face filled with scorn, a chilly smile creeping up his lips:
"Huo Wenting, I've had enough! From today onward, we have nothing to do with each other!"
