Chapter 30: A Dress Worth Ten Million!

Watching her shamelessly flatter the old man, Lin Fan's disgust toward Chen Yanzi deepened. He never expected her to sink so low—pleasing a man in his fifties with such fervor was a complete shock to his worldview. This man was old enough to be her father!

Unable to restrain himself, Lin Fan glanced at Chen Yanzi's information.

[Name: Chen Yanzi]
[Age: 24]
[Attractiveness: 8.0]
[Purity: 93]
[Affection (Intimacy): -50 (Extreme Disgust)]

The last time he saw her, her purity was still at 94. Now it was 93, which meant Chen Yanzi had already slept with this old man! Her affection had dropped from -30 to -50. It made sense—their relationship was now like fire and water, barely different from sworn enemies.

When enemies meet, their eyes blaze with hatred.

Chen Yanzi wished Lin Fan would disappear; only then would no one expose her true colors, and she could ride the wave of popularity to become a top streamer. She might even achieve the status of a superstar with millions of followers.

“Young man, this is your last warning—don’t be so ungrateful!” The old man cursed angrily, his gaze cold and vicious, as if he wanted to devour Lin Fan alive.

Lin Fan merely grinned in disdain. “Uncle, how long have you known her? You must have spent quite a bit on her, right? Can your body handle it? Aren’t you afraid this vampire will drain you dry?”

“Mind your own business! I have plenty of money to burn! Take this dress, for example—I don’t even need to blink, I can buy it on a whim. What about you?” The old man sized him up, mocking him without restraint. “You’re just a scoundrel, probably tricking women with money you scam elsewhere. This lady is unlucky to have met someone as bizarre as you!”

It was clear the old man was cultured; he didn’t resort to vulgarity, but his tone was filled with contempt and disgust.

At that moment, Chen Yanzi recognized the woman behind Lin Fan as Zhang Yi.

“Zhang Yi, I can’t believe he’s come after you again. I advise you to stay away from him. He’s irresponsible, fickle, and falls in love with every woman he meets—a typical playboy!” Chen Yanzi tried to warn Zhang Yi.

But Zhang Yi responded with equal sarcasm.

“Chen Yanzi, you really are a good actress! Back in university, your reputation was already terrible. Now you’re slandering Lin Fan for attention and publicity—how despicable and shameless you are!”

“You! Zhang Yi, don’t go too far. I’m kindly advising you, and you bite back—such petty behavior! I really don’t know how he managed to trick you!” Chen Yanzi retorted furiously, never expecting Zhang Yi to defend Lin Fan. Truly a pair of scoundrels!

Zhang Yi’s expression darkened, barely holding back her emotions as she replied sharply, “Trick? You should have known by now—he’s become wealthy, so naturally many women are drawn to him. That’s perfectly normal.”

“Successful men always attract many women, but someone as greedy, selfish, and gold-digging as you doesn’t deserve him!”

“Even if he loves every woman he meets, I still like him. At least he’d never care for someone as shameless as you!”

Zhang Yi inadvertently spoke her heart. Her views were open-minded—even if Lin Fan had other women, she wouldn’t mind. What wealthy man didn’t have a few lovers? If Lin Fan wanted to be her devoted admirer, she would accept that arrangement.

Nowadays, money is everything—without it, all talk is meaningless!

Lin Fan looked at her in surprise, not expecting Zhang Yi to hold such beliefs. His confidence in completing his task soared, so he wasted no more words and turned to the saleswoman. “I want to buy this dress—no discounts needed. I’ll transfer the payment right now!”

The saleswoman hesitated for a moment, then realized Lin Fan was a tycoon. “Sir, I sincerely apologize for earlier. I failed to recognize your status—please don’t take it to heart…”

She bent over, smiling obsequiously at Lin Fan, her attitude reversing completely.

This was a dress worth one million! If she sold it, she’d earn a fifty-thousand commission. And Lin Fan didn’t even want a discount—such generosity would make any salesperson treat him like a god!

Even Zhang Yi felt Lin Fan’s charm at that moment. Men willing to spend money on women were the most attractive!

But the old man wouldn’t let it go.

“So you think having some dirty money makes you special? No discount? That’s not how you show off! You probably only have about a million left, right? Credit cards maxed out?”

“I bet after you buy this dress, you’ll return it tomorrow… I’ve seen plenty of posers like you!”

“Idiot!” Lin Fan sneered.

“A mere million is nothing to me. I can afford even more expensive dresses!”

“Do you have anything here pricier than this gown?”

The saleswoman’s eyes lit up and she gestured toward the glass cabinet in the center of the shop.

“Of course! See that white mermaid dress in the display case?”

“Isn’t that a non-sale item?” Lin Fan asked.

“That’s because it costs ten million! It’s been here over three years, and no one has been able to afford it, so it became a non-sale item,” the saleswoman said excitedly. She sensed Lin Fan wasn’t bluffing, but was truly a hidden tycoon.

So she cleverly played along with Lin Fan.

“In that case, today I’ll buy it for my goddess! Only my goddess deserves it!” Lin Fan declared, waving his hand.

Zhang Yi blushed, flustered by his words. “It’s too expensive… I really can’t accept it…”

Lin Fan affectionately patted her shoulder and said earnestly, “You deserve it! You’ve always been my one and only, the woman I yearn for most. A ten-million dress suits you perfectly!”

“Miss, please prepare the invoice. I’ll transfer the payment now, and I’ll also tip you an extra ten thousand!”

The saleswoman’s eyes widened in delight, nearly jumping for joy—she was just short of shouting ‘father’ on the spot.

“Certainly! Do you only want the mermaid dress, sir?”

She winked at Lin Fan.

Lin Fan caught her meaning and smacked his forehead. “Both—I'll take them both! Such luxurious dresses shouldn’t be wasted on certain unscrupulous women!”

“You!” Chen Yanzi was so furious she nearly swore, knowing Lin Fan was deliberately insulting her.

She shrieked, wrapping her arms around the old man’s, shaking him back and forth.

“Honey, are you just going to let him humiliate you?”

“If he’d only taken the white mermaid dress, I’d have bought the million-dollar gown for you. Who knew he’d be so domineering, taking both!”

The old man spread his hands helplessly.
