Chapter 333 – Different Perspectives on Money and Things

“Beep beep beep…”

Instantly, Ye Kuang’s phone vibrated violently, the sensation akin to an electric shock that made one tremble involuntarily.

Pang Hu, hearing the sound, remained nonchalant.

Although the conversation between the Venomous Thorn Witch and Sophia had been completely unabashed, it wasn’t as straightforward as their words suggested.

After all, someone who could casually transfer 400 million was far beyond the definition of an ordinary person.

Meanwhile, Ye Kuang stared in shock at the text message on his phone, which showed eight zeros added to one of his accounts.

To be honest, he had only mentioned it offhandedly, never expecting Sophia to actually make it happen.

Moreover, the difference between a few hundred thousand and 400 million was an unimaginable concept—any ordinary person would be utterly stunned.

Just then, the Venomous Thorn Witch strode over with a cold expression, pulling out a Gold Savings Card from her pocket.

Seeing this, Ye Kuang honestly didn’t know whether to accept it or not.

But his hand, in truth, was quite honest.

However, as he held the few-gram gold card, it suddenly felt incredibly heavy.

400 million!

For someone as destitute as him, this astronomical figure was beyond exaggeration.

“Those without money don’t understand the pains of the rich, and the rich don’t know the mediocrity of the poor.”

It was only at this moment that Ye Kuang truly grasped the essence of “different perspectives on money,” murmuring the words to himself.

Witnessing that Ye Kuang had actually accepted the gold card, the Venomous Thorn Witch’s look of contempt grew even more pronounced.

Her eyes seemed to mock him relentlessly: Trash, taking a woman’s money—how impressive of you.

Seeing this, Ye Kuang couldn’t help but laugh bitterly: “You seem to have a strong bias against me, just because I accepted this huge sum.”

Venomous Thorn Witch: “What do you think?”

Hearing this, Ye Kuang actually felt more at ease.

The reason was simple: this enormous sum wasn’t given by the person in front of him, but by that lovesick girl from years ago. What did it have to do with these people with their judgmental stares?

Thinking this, he suddenly grinned widely: “The money itself isn’t important. All I need to know is that you’re unhappy, and that makes me very happy.”

“You…” Upon hearing this, the two women—Venom and the Venomous Thorn Witch—were so enraged they nearly exploded.

Ye Kuang, completely unfazed, only laughed even more arrogantly: “What, are you unhappy now? Good. As long as I’m happy, that’s all that matters.”

With that, his arrogance seemed to multiply by the second.

Seeing this, the Venomous Thorn Witch couldn’t hold back her anger, but then she sneered: “Do you really think this money will be so easy to keep? Let me be frank—certain important figures have probably already gotten wind of this. You’re in for a rough time.”

Ye Kuang, clearly unbothered, suddenly smiled: “No need for you to worry about that.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned abruptly and looked at the eight pairs of sharp eyes behind him, then waved his hand: “Senior gave us money. Let’s go, we’re hitting the bar first.”

Pang Hu: “Absolutely! When Senior gives money, how could we not show our appreciation?”

Gao Qing, however, looked hesitant and said: “But where did Senior get so much money? This isn’t something an ordinary company could just produce so easily…”Zheng Xiucai initially couldn’t help but stand up for justice: “Why all this nonsense? Senior’s money obviously comes from legitimate sources. Besides, the fact that it can be deposited into savings cards now proves it’s clean money. Could Senior possibly harm us?”

Ling Yun: “…”

Ye Kuang glanced back at the two furious women, Venom, and suddenly issued a shameless invitation: “Want to join us for a drink? We’ll show you how to splurge money lavishly.”

At this point, his nouveau riche attitude was fully displayed, clearly rubbing salt in the wound and making people grit their teeth in frustration.

At that moment, the grinding of the Venomous Thorn Witch’s silver teeth could almost be heard.

Had her gaze been lethal, a certain arrogant fellow on site would have died countless times over.

Ye Kuang: “Eh, not interested? Fine then. We’ll be off now. You’re welcome to stay here if you wish – perfect for house-sitting. Thanks in advance!”

Pang Hu immediately chimed in: “Let’s go, let’s go drink! I’m ordering the most expensive stuff.”

It was then that Ling Yun finally snapped out of it and suddenly said: “I only want that strong baijiu – proper kick!”

Sssss!

Little did he know, this statement immediately drew puzzled looks from several people.

Noticing their stares, Ling Yun inexplicably asked: “Why are you all looking at me like that?”

Ye Kuang murmured upon hearing this: “Never noticed your taste remains so… distinctive. Seems you’ve got potential as a future good son-in-law.”

Seeing a perfect target for mockery, Zheng Xiucai wouldn’t miss the chance, immediately delivering shocking words once he opened his mouth.

“Have you not seen money entering pockets? Don’t compare empty sorrows and joys. A man of ambition isn’t measured by wealth – this indeed shows a gentleman’s magnanimity, maintaining purity and rare self-restraint. Except, damn, aren’t you just putting on an act?”

Ling Yun couldn’t help retorting: “What do you know? Even with money, we shouldn’t spend recklessly. Besides, this money isn’t for you – I’m saving Brother Ye some expenses.”

But unexpectedly, Ling Yun’s tone shifted as he revealed his true nature: “If you were paying, I’d definitely order dishes, drinks, and cigarettes costing astronomical sums.”

Ye Kuang: “…”

Regardless of why he was rendered speechless, these bastards’ eloquence and cultural references were increasingly profound yet despicable.

They were clearly continuously redefining Ye Kuang’s understanding of the word “shameless.”

Here, there were no poorly spoken individuals – if any existed, they had unique interpersonal quirks.

Even with huge sums in their pockets, their peculiar temperaments remained unchanged.

Gao Qing: “Enough, enough! With your sorry states, why not check your reflections in piss for comparison? I can barely stand looking at you. You’re all increasingly glib. Let me declare upfront – anyone who dares use True Qi to expel alcohol tonight, I’ll drinking-battle them to death!”

“Eh…”

Despite Gao Qing’s bold words, they only drew several contemptuous snorts.

“Discussing drinking capacity? With your two-or-three-ounce capacity, you want to compete with us? You should weigh yourself properly – you’ve always been the lightest drinker among us!” Pang Hu delivered precise criticism.

Meanwhile, as Ye Kuang and the others exchanged insults, none would concede defeat to the others.Only Venom and her companion remained on the scene, their faces ashen, while the Wind Rain Lightning Eight exchanged bewildered glances.

Ye Kuang’s grandiose speech still echoed lingeringly in their ears:

“I’ve got money now, loads of it, yet I don’t know how to spend it. This dazzling world of neon lights and revelry seems to await my indulgence. Why do different perspectives on wealth prove so irresistibly captivating? Truth is, you may indeed possess riches, yet you understand nothing of the joy in poverty. And when you’re penniless, little do you know—I live even more joyfully than you!”
