Chapter 648: Chapter 648: Fox and Dog Friends!

Xu Qianli subconsciously rubbed the goosebumps on his arm.

“Damn, what do you mean I have to take responsibility for you, you talk like you’re some broad and I’m the guy who doesn’t acknowledge her after putting on his pants.”

“Look at you, wrapped up in alcohol and women, your body must be hollowed out.”

“I think uncle did a good job; you, on the other hand, just got too accustomed to your privileged life in Beijing. You should get out and gain some experience.”

“Running into you here in Quyang City, what, planning to carve out a new future here?”

As Xu Qianli asked that, Zhan Zhixing started unbuttoning his collar and began spilling his miseries.

According to him, when he got kicked out of Beijing, his old man gave him five billion to start a business. But he was not meant for business at all. Coupled with his fun-loving personality, leaving Beijing with money was like a wolf breaking free from its chains; he was utterly jubilant.

He managed to squander almost all of it in less than half a year, not short on women, booze, nor casinos, leading a carefree and pleasurable life.

The only downside was watching the five billion in his pocket visibly shrink until only less than thirty million was left.

With only thirty million, what kind of great business could he do? He was worried about how to explain this when he returned home.

Not only Xu Qianli, but Gu Ziyin and Gu Yining were also listening to this.

Learning that this guy had burned through nearly five billion in half a year, both couldn’t help but click their tongues in amazement.

They had seen wastrels before but none who squandered wealth to this extent.

Such a person, even if he had boundless wealth, a hundred billion in family fortune, wouldn’t be enough for his extravagant spending.

Xu Qianli patted Zhan Zhixing on the shoulder, “Nearly five billion in half a year, I’ve got to hand it to you. Just how many pretty women have you ruined in these six months?”

“Not that many; I’m a man who would rather overdo it than miss out, barely ten a day.”

“Ah, my back, it hurts again. You have no idea what I’ve been through this half year.”

“Feasting on great food and surrounded by vivacious, beautiful women daily, do you think that’s easy for me?”

Zhan Zhixing was shamelessly rubbing his back, looking smug, with arrogance and satisfaction written all over his face.

Xu Qianli didn’t indulge him and gave him a kick that floored him.

“Ouch, my butt, my back…”

Zhan Zhixing fell to the ground with a grunt. The beauties he brought with him hurried over to help him up.

One of them glared at Xu Qianli, displeased, “Who are you, huh? You’ve got some nerve hitting our young master Zhan. Do you know who he is? Believe it or not, he could have you killed eight times over with just one word?”

Upon hearing this, Zhan Zhixing slapped the woman on the butt, “Shut up, do you know who this guy is? That’s my sugar daddy from college.”

The beauty, clutching her butt and swaying her waist, coyly smiled at Zhan Zhixing, “Young master Zhan, you’re so naughty, it really hurts, you owe me a new handbag for that.”

“Sure, it’s just a lousy bag. If you like it, I’ll buy ten of them.”

Zhan Zhixing laughed and readily agreed, making the woman very happy.

Gu Ziyin and Gu Yining exchanged glances; now they understood how this guy blew through those five billion.

That he still had thirty million left after such extravagant spending was quite remarkable.

Zhan Zhixing didn’t care about the money at all, making sure the beauties by his side were happy, then his attention turned to the two women beside Xu Qianli.

“Xu Qianli, you’ve really grown up. Back in school, you were clueless, only hanging around with Chu Qingyu, the campus belle. I invited you to go out and meet more women, but you never did; look at you now, all wise.”

“These two women are not bad at all, great figures and beautiful faces, truly the cream of the crop. You’ve got a good eye, kid.”

“Both of you beauties, my godfather here is great in every way, it’s just that he used to be a bit clueless. Now that he’s savvy, you girls need to take good care of him.”

Zhan Zhixing blurted out, his mouth running without a filter, saying whatever came to mind.

Gu Yining’s ears turned beet red with embarrassment, while Gu Ziyin gave Zhan Zhixing an annoyed glance.

“Go away, I have nothing to do with Xu Qianli, don’t you dare ruin my reputation with your nonsense!”

“And you, Xu Qianli, can’t you keep your rowdy friends in check?”

“You’re no angel yourself, and your friends are even worse. Birds of a feather flock together indeed!”

“I’m telling you, don’t you dare follow in his footsteps!”

Follow Zhan Zhixing?

Xu Qianli chuckled self-deprecatingly, touching his own nose, “I would like to, but could I even manage that?”

In six months, he squandered five hundred million; Xu Qianli would like to learn that, but where would he get that kind of money?

Zhan Zhixing turned to Gu Ziyin and said, “Sister-in-law, don’t look down on me. I’m doing this to experience life. In our family, we’re only poor if you count anything other than money. If I don’t spend a bit more, it would be a waste of my old man’s earning prowess.”

The title “Sister-in-law” made Gu Ziyin’s cheeks burn with heat.

Annoying, what ‘sister-in-law’? She and Xu Qianli were nothing like that.

Xu Qianli spoke up, “Alright, Zhan Zhixing, cut out the clowning around. Tell me, was it really just a coincidence today that you appeared before me?”

With a sheepish grin and scratching his head, Zhan Zhixing said, “You always see through me, kid. Indeed, I admit I knew you were in Quyang City and came here on purpose to see you. I’ve run into a tough situation and was hoping you could help me out.”

“You, the great heir of the Zhan Family in Beijing, and me, just a minor civil servant, what could I possibly do to help you?”

“If it’s something difficult, don’t even mention it. After all, I’m not your real dad, just your godfather.”

Xu Qianli knew him too well; whatever Zhan Zhixing asked for would undoubtedly be complicated.

Zhan Zhixing spoke rapidly, “Forget about godfather or real father, to me, you’re my dad no matter what. Dad, I’m begging you, you have to help me with this. No one else can help me now except for you. If you refuse, I’ll kneel before you.”

“Just state your business, don’t play the pity card.”

“Spit it out, what is it?”

“Did you knock up some rich heiress in Beijing and get forced into marriage?”

“Or did you sneak into some noblewoman’s bed and her husband found out and is now chasing you around the world to kill you?”

“If it’s any of these, I advise you to take measures for a permanent solution!”

Xu Qianli said teasingly and jokingly glanced at Zhan Zhixing’s legs. The guy was a walking disaster; it would be best to put an end to the trouble once and for all.

Zhan Zhixing replied, “If it were that simple, I wouldn’t have traveled all this way to Quyang City to find you. Here’s the thing, I recently offended someone, and they said if I don’t kowtow and apologize, they’ll have my head.”

Xu Qianli said, “With the Zhan Family’s influence in Beijing, is there really someone you can’t handle?”

“That person is no ordinary individual, he comes from the Ye Family!”

Zhan Zhixing nonchalantly revealed his adversary’s background.

Upon hearing this, Xu Qianli fell silent.

Speaking of the Ye Family, that was indeed his father-in-law’s family.

Smart kid, no wonder he came to find him. It was clear he had found out that he was the Ye Family’s son-in-law.
