CHAPTER 39: GOSSIP (2)

Shouldn’t everyone prioritize their own survival?

Yu Shi Lan didn’t understand.

But Mu Ting Ye had already seen more of human nature due to his background and he shrugged. "I don’t think it’s anything surprising considering that the resources nearby are limited and some people are simply too lazy."

Too lazy to even pick up things.

Mu Ting Ye shook his head with disapproval.

If those people were standing in front of him, he would have scolded them without hesitation.

Seeing Mu Ting Ye so energetic, Yu Shi Lan blinked her eyes and then smiled. Perhaps youth really should be energetic like Mu Ting Ye instead of like her who was so quiet and looked like someone who was half a step on the grave.

But with her life experience, it was really impossible for Yu Shi Lan to act childish.

She has no one to act coquettish with and those people who truly cared for her had long passed away.

A hint of gloom flashed within Yu Shi Lan’s eyes.

Mu Ting Ye blinked his eyes and then grinned. "But there are also some interesting things. Lian Lei Xu gathered his classmates and seems to be giving them order and then gave them money for the resources they collected. His practice is the same as many other young masters here."

Mu Ting Ye’s words attracted Yu Shi Lan’s attention and she forgot about the thoughts that crossed her mind. Blinking her eyes, Yu Shi Lan asked, "Are you so rich?"

"It can’t be said that we’re that rich, but a little bit of money is nothing much for us?" Mu Ting Ye tilted his head. "I mean, many of us have pocket money that’s worth the salary of a few months of ordinary people..."

He was not entirely sure how to explain this matter.

After all, the two of them were technically still high school students and Mu Ting Ye didn’t even know if Yu Shi Lan knew the average wages of the people out there.

Yu Shi Lan was silent.

Well, she certainly shouldn’t forget that Mu Ting Ye was also a rich young master.

"In fact, I also did the same." Mu Ting Ye gave a cunning laugh. "I have a lot of money and transferring some money to them is nothing as long as they can help me to get some resources."

Yu Shi Lan saw Mu Ting Ye pointed to one side where there were a few other young men who carried large bags on their back.

She seemed to understand something and nodded thoughtfully.

It’s a perfect way to utilize resources.

Even though money would still be used for a period of time after the earthquake, it would soon be replaced with other things. After all, it would not be fair for those who had worked hard for their entire life if they couldn’t use their money at all.

And having money could also be their capital to gather enough resources in the early stage.

"Young Master Mu Ting Ye is really rich," Yu Shi Lan said, her tone was relatively flat.

Mu Ting Ye couldn’t really discern any emotion from Yu Shi Lan’s voice as if she was simply stating a fact, but he still said, "Don’t call me rich. It’s mainly my family’s money and I myself hadn’t really worked."

The Mu Family was quite influential in this city.

To be honest, Yu Shi Lan didn’t know how big their influence is, but she could guess that it should be very high because Mu Ting Ye could live comfortably.

He even had the leisure to fight with Lian Lei Xu and gathered the other party’s black history.

Yu Shi Lan really wanted to laugh when she thought about this matter.

"You seem proud to use the same method as Lian Lei Xu...."

"Who liked being compared with him?!" Mu Ting Ye looked like a cat that had been stepped by its tail. His voice contained disgust as he said, "I just think that he still has some brains and knew how to use his resources. But this will not change the fact that he’s just a scumbag."

Well, he’s indeed a scumbag.

For this matter, Yu Shi Lan agreed 100% with Mu Ting Ye.

If he was not a scumbag, he would not employ such dirty tactics just to cover up his relationship and protected his beloved. For his beloved, he should be a good man but for those implicated by his schemes... they just wanted to ask what had they done wrong?

"Have you eaten?" Not wanting to think about this matter, Yu Shi Lan changed the conversation.

She didn’t understand how Mu Ting Ye could see more than 10 accidents in a single day and remembered them all. Did he have the hobby of watching other people’s conflict?

"Ah, yeah, I eat with my brother. The soldiers are gathering the supplies and said that they’ll be used for the proper shelter."
