Seeing Peng Jiahe's expression, Lu Yuan didn't know what to do, so he closed his eyes and remained silent.

But this made Peng Jiahe even more anxious.

The driver had a rough idea of ​​what was going on, so he didn't mention calling the police again.

Seeing Peng Jiahe's anxious expression, Yang Chu said, "Jiahe, don't argue with Lu Yuan. Whether Lu Yuan wants to leave or not, it can't be explained in just a few words. Let's talk about it slowly after you two have calmed down."

Peng Jiahe calmed down after hearing Yang Chu's words and stopped clinging to Lu Yuan's arm.

Lu Yuan sensed Peng Jiahe's reaction and opened his eyes a crack to look at Yang Chu in surprise.

But it was just a glance; no one really knows what he was thinking.

Soon the three of them arrived at the mobile phone store. After checking the time, Yang Chu said, "Let's get three SIM cards first, and we'll talk about the phones later."

The sales clerk knew why the SIM card had to be issued first, and quickly smiled and nodded, saying, "Okay!"

After Yang Chu finished getting the phone number, he looked at Lu Yuan and Peng Jiahe and asked, "Do you need to buy a new phone?"

Lu Yuan pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "This is definitely necessary. We'll see for ourselves later."

Yang Chu nodded and went to look at his phone.

After Peng Jiahe got the phone card, he found Yang Chu.

What kind of phone do you want to buy?

"I just looked at this, what kind of phone do you want?"

"I want a fruit one."

Yang Chu shook his head and said, "From what I overheard in the car earlier, it seems like you won't be staying in China for very long. It's not appropriate to spend so much money on a phone like that."

Peng Jiahe shook his head and said, "It's okay, I can use it in the US too."

"You really don't know how expensive firewood and rice are, you're not in charge of the household!"

"what do you mean?"

"You don't even understand something this simple? You must have a cell phone in the U.S., right?"

"Yes?"

"After you return to the Ugly Country, how long will it take before you can even use this brand new phone?"

"Just say what you want to say! What's the point of beating around the bush?"

Yang Chu sighed and stared at Peng Jiahe, saying, "You and Lu Yuan have both returned from the U.S. and are currently unemployed. Your money is likely only going out and not coming in. Save where you can and don't spend recklessly. There's a proverb you might not know: 'Don't buy things you can afford to be idle for six months.' It means that there's no need to buy things now that you can buy them in six months."

After Yang Chu finished speaking, he ignored Peng Jiahe and focused on picking up his phone.

Peng Jiahe glanced thoughtfully at Lu Yuan, who was getting a SIM card, then at Yang Chu. After pondering for a while, she caught up with Yang Chu and asked, "So what kind of phone do you think I should buy?"

While looking at his phone, Yang Chu said to Peng Jiahe, "After all, you're not even eighteen yet, you're still a student. You'll only use your phone to make calls and play games. Plus, you won't be using it for long, so there's no need to buy such a good one. A phone around two thousand yuan will be enough."

Just as Peng Jiahe was about to nod, he saw Yang Chu choose a phone that cost over 20,000 yuan.

"No! You told me to buy something cheap, but you picked something so expensive. What do you mean? Are you looking down on me?"

Yang Chu rolled her eyes at Peng Jiahe and said, "I'm going to settle down in Shanghai, so of course I need to buy a decent one."

"You're settling down in Shanghai? Not going back to the U.S.?"

"Why go back? To hear gunshots every few days? Or to constantly see the disdainful looks from others?"

"You just said you settled in Shanghai, which means you used to live in the Ugly Country! You didn't mind before, so why are you complaining now?"

Yang Chu sighed and said, "I lived in China until I was fifteen. My parents brought me to the U.S. after my grandmother passed away. Stand?"

"Stand, stand! So, are you a citizen of China or the U.S.?"

“My parents originally wanted to change my nationality to that of the United States, but I insisted on not changing my nationality, so my nationality is still that of China.”

After listening to Yang Chu's words, Peng Jiahe thought for a while and then asked Yang Chu, "So what do you plan to do in China?"

Yang Chu handed the phone to the sales assistant and said, "Help me get this sorted out!"

The sales assistant nodded and then bent down to install the phone card, a simple, foolproof upgrade.

Yang Chu then turned to Peng Jiahe and said, "I haven't decided what to do yet. If all else fails, I could open a small shop! Anyway, the money my parents left me is enough for the rest of my life. There's no need to push myself so hard."

Peng Jiahe nodded and said, "So, do you think I should go back to the U.S. or stay in China?"

Why are you asking me about your business? Besides, weren't you always making a fuss about going back to the Ugly Country with Lu Yuan?

Peng Jiahe lowered her eyes slightly and said, "Actually, it doesn't matter whether it's in the U.S. or in China. I'm just afraid that Lu Yuan will abandon me."

Yang Chu sighed and said, "Whether Lu Yuan takes care of you or not, you first need to take care of yourself. Understand what you need to do and what you need. You can't keep clinging to Lu Yuan forever, can you? Lu Yuan has his own life too! If he finds a wife and has children, how much can he take care of you?"

Peng Jiahe fell silent again after hearing Yang Chu's words.

Just then, Lu Yuan walked over with a cell phone and said, "Have you picked out your cell phones yet?"

Yang Chu nodded and said, "I've already chosen mine, but it seems I haven't chosen Jiahe yet."

After hearing Lu Yuan's voice, Peng Jiahe asked, "What kind of phone did you choose? How much did it cost?"

Lu Yuan showed his phone and said, "I don't know what brand it is, I just bought the cheapest one for 800 yuan. What's wrong?"

"Eight hundred yuan?"

Peng Jiahe stared in disbelief at the phone in Lu Yuan's hand. She had thought that choosing a cheaper phone would be beneath her dignity, but seeing Lu Yuan holding an 800-yuan phone made Peng Jiahe's worldview a little confused.

Lu Yuan looked at Peng Jiahe with some confusion and said, "What's wrong with eight hundred yuan? I don't play games, and I only use my phone to make calls. Why would I need something so nice? Maybe I won't need it anymore someday, so I won't feel bad about throwing it away."

Hearing Lu Yuan's words, Peng Jiahe laughed self-deprecatingly and said, "Ha...ha...eight hundred yuan, it really doesn't hurt!"

Peng Jiahe now understands that Yang Chu and Lu Yuan have the same idea: they only need it for a short period of time, and they are only looking for practicality and affordability, without considering anything else.

This made Peng Jiahe feel that she was very immature and did whatever she wanted.
