After rebirth, I became Tokyo Sentimental

Chapter 39: Money is the bottom line

Chapter 39 39. Money is the bottom line

After the young blond woman wearing a white beret showed up, the atmosphere undoubtedly suddenly became much less pleasant than the joy and surprise when she met her friends just now.

Especially the other party's expression was extremely playful.

There was a hint of sarcasm at the corners of her light red lips.

There was a feeling of superiority as if she had once completely defeated Hoshino Ryuka, but now she was sneering with the attitude of a winner, even holding back her laughter, and holding her boyfriend's arm as if to show off.

The scene fell into silence.

Only the occasional crisp sound of bowling balls hitting the wooden path could be heard from other people not far away.

Neither spoke.

Including two other men.

After a while, Harano Tsukasa saw that Hoshino Ryuka, who was standing next to Eguchi Mio, lowered her eyelids and said in an emotionless voice, "It's been a long time."

"What's wrong? Ryuka, why do you seem unhappy to see me?"

"You think too much."

"Are you overthinking? Don't be so cold. You were so close to Mio just now, but you looked so downcast when you saw me. To be honest, it makes me sad."

"Sad? Then cry for me."

"I have a tearless constitution, and my tear glands are not as developed as yours, Ryuka, so it seems that I can't cry."

"Then find a place to grieve."

As soon as the conversation started, the verbal battle between the two of them came like a violent storm, with only a last bit of dignity left, and they didn't care about other people's eyes.

But it's obvious.

Since Hoshino Ryuka's expression was not right when she first saw him, and he was full of arrogance...

Of course, I have suffered losses before.

So I didn't have the upper hand in terms of words.

"Why are you so heartless?" Ikeda Saki was still smiling, but her next words revealed a lot of information: "You are still so prone to losing your temper, and your personality is still so irritable. I don't know what Kitahara-kun saw in you in the first place. Maybe it was because of your bad temper? Because you have so many things to do? But that doesn't matter. After all, that guy is a liar. Fortunately, you are here, otherwise I would be the one being deceived."

Perhaps it was the pain of being poked, or perhaps it brought back embarrassing memories, Hoshino Rika completely lost her previous calmness and composure, her face was gloomy without any concealment, and her delicate fingers were deeply embedded in the palm of her hand.

Even though her purpose of coming out today was to test Yuanye Si's strength and find an opportunity to escape from the difficult situation she was in, she couldn't hold back at this moment.

"Saki, stop talking." Unable to bear it any longer, Mio Eguchi walked over to Saki Ikeda and pulled her.

She smiled, as if to save face for her best friend, and Saki Ikeda did not say anything that would make Hoshino Rika unhappy. But she then turned her head slightly and looked at Harano Tsukasa, who was sitting on the left, drinking mineral water and watching the show from beginning to end.

"I almost forgot, speaking of which, this is..."

"Ryuka's new boyfriend?"

Facts have proved that compared with even emotionally charged words, changes in body movements can make people understand inner changes better. Although Saki Ikeda was looking at Harano Tsukasa, her words were still directed at Hoshino Rikka. She neither really did not cause trouble for Hoshino Rikka, nor did she give Harano Tsukasa face.

To be honest, Yuanye Si was also quite curious about the nature of this woman who was so jumpy.

The reddish light curtain quietly unfolded.

A lot of information comes into view.

Ok.

It's green tea.

[I really want to tear Hoshino Ryuka’s face apart right now]

[It feels so good to be slapped in the face, I want to feel it all the time]

[I’ll ask Jianjun to buy me another LV bag later. He should be able to steal a lot of money from home.]

There was a flash of understanding in Harano Tsukasa's eyes. He understood that this was a showdown between gold diggers, but he didn't feel any ripples in his heart. Instead, he said with a decent and polite smile: "Hoshino-san and I are former colleagues and friends."

Former colleague?
The disdain in Saki Ikeda's eyes became even stronger.

So that means he is a civil servant of the ward office?

Honestly speaking, if there was any trace of a wealthy or upper-class person in Harano Tsukasa, she would not be so presumptuous. After all, it is not worth offending a person who is still unknown but definitely has the means and ability to retaliate just for a momentary pleasure.

But when Hoshino Rika asked him out today, Harano Tsukasa did not drive directly from the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Office to pick her up. Instead, he went back to Ikebukuro first and changed into casual clothes.

Casual wear is Uniqlo.

Except for the clothes that I bought with Hoshino Ryuka at Takashimaya Department Store last time, none of the clothes left by the original body cost more than 5,000 yen. In addition, they were worn out over a long period of time.

Plus, he's a civil servant who's even worse than the office workers who work overtime until late at night in a large company...

Although it was before, since she had worked as a civil servant before, even if she quit now, she probably wouldn't be able to get far, so she didn't care.

"May I ask your surname?"

"The wilderness."

"Former colleague? Haha, since you are not in a relationship yet, as a good friend of Ryuka, I want to remind Yuanye-kun that if you want to pursue her, you must be patient and tolerant, otherwise it will be bad if she gets fooled by someone and makes you angry."

This time, Saki Ikeda didn't even bother to pretend. While stabbing Hoshino Ryuka in the heart, she didn't forget to disgust Harano Tsukasa, whom she thought was a suitor.

In her opinion.

There is no doubt that Harano Tsukasa is pursuing Hoshino Ryuka.

Or maybe a fish in her pond.

Although Ikeda Saki knew that a dog-licker would not be shaken by a few words, she was successful if she could plant a thorn in his heart and prevent Hoshino Ryuka from taming him easily. She was well aware of this. But she didn't know it.

Her guess turned out to be the opposite.

"You don't have to worry about it anymore."

Yuanye Si just replied with a smile.

Seeing that the atmosphere was getting increasingly strange, Eguchi Mio quickly pushed Ikeda Saki and said, "Okay, Saki, let's go over there and play table tennis with Yamashita-kun and the others."

“But I’m a little tired from playing.”

"Ah! Then let's go to the rest area on the east side. I just saw some cookies fresh out of the oven over there!"

"I don't want to eat. I'm trying to lose weight recently."

"Then let's go eat some fruit."

"I'm not thirsty. I just drank some juice. Forget it."

Ikeda Saki seemed to remember something. She turned her head to look at the man she was holding and asked in a tender voice, "Ken-kun, didn't you say you ordered a watch from Cartier in Parco some time ago? Has it arrived yet?"

"Cartier's exclusive consultant just called me last night. He should be in the store now."

The young man said without hesitation.

"Then let's go to Parco for a stroll. I just want to pick out a pair of earrings and am planning to choose between Van Cleef & Arpels and Cartier. Can you help me choose?" she added.

Hoshino Ryuka said nothing.

Like I didn't hear it.

Yuan Ye Si narrowed his eyes slightly when he saw this.

Van Cleef & Arpels and Cartier.

Both are representatives of luxury goods. The former is well-known for its jewelry, while the latter is also famous for its appearance besides jewelry, but it tends to be delicate and feminine.

Saki Ikeda's purpose and intention in saying such things on such occasions and at such times are already very clear.

However, after she suggested going to the mall, the first person to speak was not the others, but Mio Eguchi's boyfriend, who started yelling, "Hey, hey! Miss Nakano, why do you always take Mio to places like that? Ken can afford it, but I can't. It's embarrassing every time I go there."

"Then you should work hard to make money."

Saki Ikeda covered her mouth and smiled.

"It's not easy to make money, Brother Jian, can you keep your daughter in check? Every time you buy her a bag or jewelry, I will be beaten up by Mio at home. I say you should be considerate of me."

"I'll listen to Saki. I'm sorry, Yamashita."

Seeing the eyes looking at him for help, Ken Osawa coughed dryly and then smiled apologetically.

"Damn rich people."

"Ha ha ha ha."

The two couples started flirting with each other right beside them, completely ignoring them.

to be frank.

This is a pretty clever trick.

As long as they themselves are not embarrassed, then others must be embarrassed, so when they ignored Harano Tsukasa and Hoshino Rika who were chatting freely beside them, they were the most embarrassed, especially when they talked about money.

However, a moment later, Harano Tsukasa, who had put down the empty bottle of mineral water in his hand, suddenly said:
"Hoshino-san, shall we go shopping too?"

Hoshino Ryuka, who had her head down, raised her head.

I was stunned for a moment when I looked at him.

She opened her mouth and wanted to say what she was thinking subconsciously, but when she saw the familiar smile on Yuan Ye Si's face, she suddenly remembered something and her heart began to beat. She realized that he might be showing off his strength like last time, so she calmly said, "What are we going to see?"

"My sister's birthday is coming soon. Your friend reminded me of it and I suddenly remembered that child is quite picky about gifts. Could you please help me choose one?" Yuanye Si thought, stroking his chin.

"So...what do you want to buy?"

"I just heard they were talking about Sofitel Van Cleef & Arpels and Cartier. We can go check them out first, or other brands."

"Okay... OK, what's your budget..."

"I don't have a budget. You can buy as much as you want. Even though the economic situation is not good now, money is still inflating. For a brand like this that anyone can buy, there's no need to make a budget for me." Harano Tsukasa replied with a smile.

However, when Saki Ikeda and the others heard the two of them talking like a couple, they all turned their gazes from each other to this side.

Saki Ikeda sneered.

Everyone can brag.

The key is whether it can be fulfilled.

Even though she felt a little suspicious when she saw how calm Harano Tsukasa was, she checked everything on him from head to toe again, and felt relieved after making sure there were no brand names and nothing she had missed.

Then she leaned her head over and whispered a few words to her boyfriend, her eyes gradually becoming colder.

However, Harano Tsukasa didn't care about the strange looks from them. He just walked up to her, took Hoshino Rika's soft hand, and led her out of the club with a slightly touched look in her eyes.

Even without looking back, he knew that this group of people would catch up with him and go to the mall together.

The comparison between gold diggers is actually very simple.

After all.

Money is the last word!
