Chapter 155: What’s So Bad About Being a Dog?

Did Lin Fan really expect them to wear something like this?

To be asked to wear such shameful and revealing clothing upon their very first meeting—did Lin Fan have some kind of perverted obsession?

The women looked at Lin Fan with a sense of disdain. They had thought him a refined gentleman, but it turned out he was no different from the playboys obsessed with wine and women.

Lin Fan chuckled to himself; these outfits were never intended for them in the first place. The games he had planned today were entirely aimed at the two gold-diggers, Yu Xiawei and Qiu Shan. He just hadn't expected the two of them to be such convincing pretenders, turning their noses up even at two hundred thousand. He had no choice but to resort to a more stimulating game—one designed to crush their pride.

Of course, these games were suggested by Jin Hantang, not invented by Lin Fan himself. He hadn't been familiar with how the wealthy second generation spent their time, but after Jin Hantang explained it, he gained a rough understanding of the world of debauchery and excess.

"If you find this embarrassing, there's no pressure. I didn't mean to cause any trouble; this was all prepared by someone else," Lin Fan said, effortlessly shifting the blame onto Jin Hantang.

He then pointedly looked at Yu Xiawei and Qiu Shan and said calmly, "If you two dare to put on these swimsuits, that’s three hundred thousand each! Do you dare to take the challenge?"

The moment he finished, the bespectacled girl and the others were shocked.

"Wow, three hundred thousand! That’s so generous! My father doesn’t even make that much in a whole year!"

"I would never wear that. It’s too shameful—it’s basically just two strings! If I put that on, wouldn't everything be exposed?"

"Mr. Lin didn't say he was going to do anything to you, so what are you afraid of? There are so many people watching, and besides, aren't there stickers? You can cover up with those!"

The girls quickly spotted a loophole in the game. Lin Fan hadn't specified that they had to expose certain areas; they could use stickers to cover them, which would remove any sense of shame. Even so, no one dared to accept the challenge.

Yu Xiawei and Qiu Shan, meanwhile, mocked Lin Fan for his shamelessness.

"Just because you have some filthy money, you think you can find joy by humiliating women? How are you any different from the criminals in prison? You’re vulgar and narcissistic!"

"No wonder he’s such a good actor; at his core, he’s just a sleazy man. I guess he never saw a woman in his past life, and now that he’s rich, all he knows is how to indulge in debauchery. A man like this will never be respected by any woman..."

Hearing their words, the others felt even more convinced that the two women were manipulative hypocrites. Even Zhang Yichen looked at them with contempt. Moments ago, she had felt the game was demeaning and had even considered asking Lin Fan to change it. Now, she felt they deserved to be put to the test, to let everyone see how truly ugly and dirty they were once their masks were stripped away. She had often heard other girls gossiping about how chaotic their private lives were. Aside from how quickly they swapped boyfriends, their usual comments alone showed how little standard they had for their social interactions.

"Since that’s the case, let me raise the stakes. Six hundred thousand! Whoever dares to wear this style of swimsuit and walk a lap around the deck will get six hundred thousand!"

"As for you two, if you dare to put them on and crawl a lap, the remaining two million is yours—one million each! Well? Do you dare to try?"

Lin Fan stopped pretending. He wore his intention to humiliate them clearly on his face. If these two sharp-tongued women hadn't been at the party, it wouldn't have been so stifling and unpleasant. Spending two million to let everyone see their true colors was even more exhilarating than buying a company for four hundred million.

Sure enough, the moment they heard this, the expressions of the two women shifted. Their eyes flickered, clearly reconsidering. The other girls were also tempted, eager to give it a try.

"Six hundred thousand! If it were me, I’d dare to walk a lap. Even if people gossiped, I wouldn't care. At least I wouldn't be doing anything truly disgraceful—it’s just showing off my figure."

"I agree... My three years of tuition don't even add up to three hundred thousand. If I can get six hundred thousand just for walking a lap, that’s a great deal."

"There are plenty of jobs more demeaning than this, and there aren't many men here anyway, so it doesn't matter..."

Listening to the others, Yu Xiawei and Qiu Shan grew tempted. If they did it, they would get a million each! It was easier than winning the lottery; any fool knew how to choose. They already had a terrible reputation among their classmates, so if they could get a million just for crawling a lap, others would only be jealous. The two women exchanged glances, deciding not to let the opportunity slip away.

"Is it true that if we put them on and crawl a lap, the two million is ours?"

The cabin fell silent. Everyone watched them with mixed expressions—partly expecting this, yet still surprised. Of course, what surprised them was how the two women had even fewer boundaries than the others, unable to resist the temptation of money. They had been acting so high and mighty, mocking Lin Fan, but now that they had flipped so quickly, it was truly ugly and laughable.

Lin Fan nodded solemnly, then added, "However, you aren't allowed to use stickers to cover your private parts. I’ll have the men go up to the top deck so they won't be able to see you. How about it? Can you do it?"

With a wave of his hand, Lin Fan had Jin Hantang herd all the men, including Yuan Minghao, out of the cabin, leaving only Lin Fan and the remaining women. With the men gone, the women lost their sense of shame. Lin Fan began splitting the remaining money from the suitcase into two bags, a million in each.

After a minute of hesitation, Yu Xiawei and Qiu Shan each picked up a bag containing a swimsuit and headed to the lower deck to change.

Seeing this, the bespectacled girl asked, puzzled, "Mr. Lin, why are you just giving them money? They cursed you out, and you’re still paying them? That’s just too..." She didn't finish the sentence.

Lin Fan understood what she meant—that his behavior was foolish. He looked up and chuckled. "This money is just pocket change to me, but now you can all see their true faces. In the future, if they ever dare to talk down to you, you can use today against them. Tell them they’re willing to crawl like dogs for money. To be honest, for girls like them, what’s wrong with being a dog? Some people don't even have the qualifications to be a dog for the wealthy."

Knowing the other girls might feel a bit unbalanced, he pointed to the third suitcase. "There’s over a million in there. Choose whatever games you want to play later; I’ll sit this one out. That money is a gift for you all."

"Yay! Mr. Lin is so generous!"

Hearing about the extra gift, the women felt much better.
