I’m A Baller - Chapter 457 - I Am Worried about His Sister!
I really shouldn’t have sat down just now…
Liu Li slowly realized that she had made a mistake. The main reason was that she didn’t expect Duanmu to be so stupid as to not let go in front of Li Yunyin.
Was this something that a normal person would do?!
Didn’t you consider your girlfriend’s feelings? !
After sitting down for just two minutes, Liu Li looked down on Duanmu even more. Her previous impression of him as a “warm person” was completely shattered.
However, our Sister Li was no longer the same as before. Her ability to deal with complicated situations was improving day by day. It was mainly because Brother Doggie had trained her well that he was always able to create big scenes to test her nerves.

Therefore, she did not get angry. Instead, she gave a meaningful reminder.
“We didn’t have much contact in high school. You don’t know me well, and I didn’t expect you to be completely different from my impression of you… Let’s not talk about this anymore, okay? Look, Yunyin can’t even get a word in edgewise.”
Duanmu was stunned and a little startled. He deliberately turned his head to look at Li Yunyin, as if he had just realized that he had neglected his girlfriend-to-be.
Li Yunyin smiled dryly instead. “It’s fine. You guys talk among yourselves. It sounds pretty interesting to me.”
As she spoke, she crossed her arms and rested her elbows on the table. Her upper body leaned forward slightly.
Young Master Wang’s heart moved slightly. Hmm, it’s not small…
He was moved a little, but what he was actually thinking was: defensive posture.
Her arms were closed into a ring and were placed in front of her body. Her shoulders were slightly stretched, which was an obvious sign of resistance in psychology. It meant that she was uneasy about the environment and had a strong sense of self-protection.
The main target of her defense was of course Liu Li, there was no need to explain.
What was more interesting was that her head was slightly to the left, while Duanmu was sitting on her right.
It was obvious that this was a manifestation of the psychological distance between them.
Combined with her words of “you guys talk among yourselves”, it implied that she was prepared to take a step back and become an observer once again.
“Psychology and micro-expression science are really interesting…’
Wang Yan was extremely clear about everything, and his mood suddenly became very happy.
Duanmu’s position was slightly lower, so he couldn’t hurt him at all. Instead, he was a very good research subject.
Li Yunyin was also worth observing.
Today’s situation was especially like a scientific experiment. It was rare and interesting.
In Dr. Wang’s expectations, Duanmu should immediately turn to coax Li Yunyin to protect himself.
But what happened was…
Duanmu then went on and said, “Yunyin was cold enough. At that time, you were even colder than Yunyin, so I couldn’t find a chance to get to know each other… sigh, you and Yunyin are both students of art, are you both familiar with each other?”
Wow!
The ultimate death question!
He forcefully pulled the two girls who were not on good terms together and forcefully created a chance to compare. On the surface, he did not seem to be cold to anyone, but in fact, he had already given up his power and died.
Really, it was not exaggerating at all.
If an ordinary person who did not have much money did such a thing, he would not even need to think about being a backup. He would definitely be sentenced to death by the girl.
Pay attention to the knowledge in this —
Even if you wanted to praise the goddess, don’t take the initiative to compare her with your enemy. It’s a big taboo!
Fortunately, Liu Li didn’t treat Li Yunyin as an opponent. She even helped her smooth things over. “Those who study art are all busy. I had only met Yunyin a few times backstage during the performance. Unfortunately, I didn’t have the chance to get to know her.”
Li Yunyin returned the favor and forced a smile in response. “You’re the one who’s really amazing. It’s really not easy for a new student to be able to pass the Dance Group exam.”
After a round of mutual appreciation and a few business compliments, they could basically establish a superficial plastic sisterhood.
It was impossible for them to be very close, but at least they didn’t have to be so awkward.
At the crucial moment, it was Duanmu who provided the divine assistance again.
“That’s right! Those who take the Dance Group examination are normally from professional art school. When you’re 15 or 16 years old, there’s not even a proper dance art class in Gu Jiao, let alone a professional art school.
Liu Li, when you decided to apply for the examination in your first year of high school, none of your classmates thought that you would be able to make it. Those girls always laughed at your whimsical idea behind your back. In the end, you really succeeded, slapping their faces so hard. You’re simply too strong!
“Really, I really, really admire you!”
Duanmu was very excited.
You’re so excited… No, that’s not right! It did seem like it’s worth being excited about?
Wang Yan was stunned because he finally understood something that had been ignored in the past.
Wang Xue, Bi Bi, Pingzhi, and many of her best friends were all from the high school affiliated to the Dance Group. Wang Xue studied Chinese dance for six years, while Pingzhi studied national standard for four years.
Most of them started building their foundation around six or seven years old. They went to the high school affiliated to the Dance Group when they were 11 or 12 years old. They were tested each year up to level 13.
Liu Li, on the other hand, came from a small city and an ordinary high school. She was admitted as a freshman.
Many qualified high schools would apply to establish art classes. However, it was only limited to music, music instrumental, and art. There was no dance class due to the strong professionalism required. It was impossible to teach in an ordinary high school.
The Dance Group recruited around 300 students every year. There might not be a normal freshman even in two or three years. The rest of the students all came from professional art schools.
As for Liu Li, she was that rare exception!
No wonder her status was so unique!
No wonder she was the core of Dance Group’s bestie circle!
No wonder she could become a legend in No. 2 High School!
My family’s Sanwan was really awesome…
After Young Master Wang figured it out, his heart skipped a beat. He was very proud of Liu Li.
At the same time, he could slightly understand the origin of Duanmu’s feelings.
No matter how good Li Yunyin’s appearance and figure were, she was not the most outstanding person in her class, not to mention a legend.
In the eyes of outsiders, there was no difference between the Dance Group and Central Music. However, in the eyes of the students who had experienced it firsthand, what Liu Li had done was clearly more worthy of praise.
“Wow! Little Sister, are you really that good?”
Wang Yan grabbed Sanwan’s small hands, half teasing and half praising.
Liu Li was very pleased by Gouzi’s surprised exclamation. She raised her chin happily and snorted proudly.
That meant: Now you knew?
The unrestrained display of their affection made Duanmu’s face turn green.
As for Li Yunyin, when Duanmu was flattering Liu Li, her face was already frosty.
This girl was quite steady and didn’t speak easily. However, she was young and inexperienced, so she couldn’t control her expression well. She showed a strong hostility toward Liu Li and a strong dissatisfaction toward Duanmu.
However, Duanmu still did not realize, or perhaps, he did not care.
“Brother, are you not paying enough attention to our class belle? There may be more people who like her than you think. There are many people who are especially well-off. If you don’t cherish her, you will regret it sooner or later!”
There was a hidden meaning in her words, and her sense of superiority was overflowing.
Wang Yan did not take it seriously, but Liu Li was finally impatient.
“You don’t have to worry about what happened between us. Duanmu, we’re not that close!”
Since she couldn’t give him a hint, Liu Li could only speak openly and get to the point.
Duanmu Qinwu was a little embarrassed by her rebuke, and he couldn’t laugh anymore.
Of course, he was even more unconvinced.
“Uh, Liu Li, your boyfriend is a little too disrespectful to you. As an old classmate, I feel sorry for you… sigh, okay, okay, let’s not talk about this anymore. The appetizers are here, quickly try them!”
At least he wasn’t stupid to the extreme, so he managed to smooth things over for the time being.
In the next few minutes, the topic mainly revolved around eating and drinking. The silly guy didn’t go against Wang Yan anymore. Instead, he enthusiastically introduced the various dishes.
“Would you like a glass of wine before eating? It’s not very strong, so it warms your stomach.”
“Come, try this ‘Cherry Field Spring Day Eight Inches’ first. The kidney beans and lilies inside are especially refreshing!”
“Then, try their ‘Xiangfu’. The snapper sashimi paired with the braised fish frost is the best choice for early spring!”
“Cherry field’s horseradish is really a rare top-quality product. Its main flavor is sweet and naturally spicy. It’s not worse than the top Japanese food in capital…”
Duanmu ate Japanese food very professionally. Every sentence was on point, and the waiter gave him a thumbs up.
The rich second generation’s knowledge of enjoyment was indeed far beyond that of ordinary people. It had nothing to do with their character and EQ.
Wang Yan silently watched the other party’s performance and stuffed his stomach.
While he was squeezing the horseradish with soy sauce, Duanmu’s eyes suddenly lit up. He had found another opportunity to perform.
“Hey, Brother, try not to melt the top-grade horseradish in soy sauce. Just smear it on sashimi directly. It’s the correct way to eat it.
Usually, when you eat Japanese food or self-serve, those shops mix horseradish in soy sauce because the quality of horseradish is not good. Or, it’s simply a fake made from horseradish. You have to mix it with soy sauce to neutralize the taste.
Believe me, you can try it directly on the fish fillet. It’s absolutely delicious!”
Young Master Wang didn’t know whether to laugh or cry: I f*cking disliked the Japanese food being too bland!
Why were you talking about the top-notch delicacy with the price of 598 per person?
Were you dumbfounded in the mining city?
Although he ridiculed, Wang Yan didn’t refute anything. He nodded his head and said, “Oh, okay, okay.”
Liu Li turned around and looked at Wang Wang’s innocent expression. She burst out laughing, shook her head, and took the initiative to chat with Li Yunyin.
I should just leave that guy alone!
I couldn’t control him if I didn’t turn against him. It’s really not worth it to turn against him, so I might as well watch his performance.
Duanmu didn’t realize anything and continued to try his best to open the screen.
Actually, the silly guy wasn’t completely stupid. At the very least, he knew very well that Liu Li wasn’t the kind of person who cared about money, so he never flaunted his wealth.
The main thing he flaunted was his knowledge. It could be considered an alternative way of bullying Wang Yan for being “poor”.
After a while, the two girls reluctantly started to talk about the living expenses in capital city which was too expensive and that they didn’t have enough pocket money. As they didn’t want to talk about their high school and university life, they could only find a common language.
One person said, “It’s too expensive to go out in capital city once. You can even spend 10 Yuan on the bus and subway.”
The other said, “That’s right, that’s right. We don’t even dare to go far when having a meal together with classmate.”
Duanmu finally found an opportunity to interrupt.
“Call me if there’s such a thing again. I’ll go pick you up. What the heck, it’s not far from here anyway… or you ladies should quickly get your driving license. I’ll lend you my car!”
The two girls looked at each other and didn’t reply.
In fact, the two of them were just trying to find a topic to talk about. Liu Li’s tuition was 15,000, while Li Yunyin’s tuition was 18,000. For a child who could afford to study art, who would come from a poor family?
A middle-class family that had no worries about food and clothing would definitely be able to afford it, but luxury consumption was another matter.
Duanmu was feeling a little suffocated, so he quickly went back to Wang Yan and continued to introduce the dishes.
“Brother, this lobster sashimi is more suitable for dipping in green plum sauce. It’s French Blue Dragon, which doesn’t go well with soy sauce…”
Liu Li was afraid that Wang Yan wouldn’t be able to hold it in, so she finally took the initiative to point out something to him.
“Our Wang Wang basically only eats the Green Dragon from the New Zealand Sea. He dislikes the texture of the Blue Dragon.”
Li Yunyin subconsciously looked up and sized up Wang Yan, feeling a little surprised.
Duanmu was even more surprised. No matter how he looked at Wang Yan, he felt that Liu Li was bragging.
There was a Jack Jones down jacket on the chair. There was no logo on the cashmere sweater. It was of good quality, but it was only a few thousand yuan at most. The brand of the pants couldn’t be seen. The shoes were Prada, and the wallet was Louis Vuitton.
The clothes were indeed worth a little money, but any middle-class family in the mining city could afford it. This place had always been good at being particular about face and recognizing big brands.
After three years in Experimental, his sister did not even know him. He was an unknown person, so he did not seem to be from the circle!
Moreover, who in the mining city’s true second generation would wear a down jacket?
Those who were more rustic wore mink, and those who were more fastidious wore cotton. They all thought that the down jacket was too bulky.
In winter, driving a broken-down car and wearing a down jacket, if there were a bunch of other big brands on them, they would definitely be fakes!
Young Master Wang was crying, “Recently, I’ve been living in the mountains. I really can’t bear it if I don’t wear a down jacket!
I’m only 20 years old. Wearing mink can keep me warm, but I would be so rustic that I can’t even meet people. Can you understand?”
Duanmu didn’t understand. With his sharp senses, he concluded that Wang Yan was a liar!
F*ck!
My goddess was tricked by a hooligan who didn’t even know how to taste Japanese food?!
He suddenly felt a little intoxicated.
“The main origin of the Great Green Dragon is Australia, right?
Of course, the domestic supply from Indonesia is the mainstream these days, but what the hell is New Zealand?
Moreover, the best and most expensive breed, other than the genetic mutation, will always be the Australian Dragon. The green dragon isn’t that valuable.
“Old classmate, have you been deceived by someone?”
His words implied that Wang Yan was a liar.
Liu Li was stunned by the question. She didn’t care much about the food and didn’t know much. She could only turn her head to look at her boyfriend.
If he was the one being insulted, Young Master Wang would definitely pretend that he didn’t hear it and continue to nod.
But if his wife asked for help, then he couldn’t watch the show anymore.
“In general, there’s no problem with Duanmu’s view.”
Wang Yan wiped his hands and spoke slowly. He even complimented Duanmu Qinwu first.
When Duanmu Qinwu showed a smug and surprised smile, he began to tell the story officially.
“However, our leader taught us to analyze the specific situation. As there are some advertisements and inducements from the merchants, we have to learn to identify and form our own judgment.”
Duanmu frowned and was a little unconvinced. “Heh! Then let me hear how you judge!”
Young Master Wang smiled and continued in a neither too fast nor too slow, neither too arrogant nor too impatient manner.
“The meat of the Australian dragon is firm, sweet, and rich in nutrients. It is the top taste of all lobsters. However, the real reason why it has become the most expensive breed is actually because its economic benefits are high enough.
It is easy to survive and breed. It can grow up to 4-6 catties. Moreover, the meat is full and the economic efficiency is very high. That is why the merchants are aggressively promoting the Australian Dragon.
And for consumers, it is indeed delicious. There is a lot of meat and it has a high performance-to-price ratio, so it is widely recognized.
However, does Australian dragon taste the best?
Considering only the quality of the meat, there are only two or three kinds of the same grade. It is indeed one of the best.
However, if other aspects of its value were taken into account, would it still have such a strong advantage?
The small Australian Green Dragon is a freshwater lobster, while the big green dragon was a relatively difficult breed of seawater. It basically only lived in the waters of New Zealand, where the purity of the water was above 9.
Its meat quality did not have an absolute advantage over the Australian Golden Claw Red Lobster.
However, its protein content is about 22% of the total, two percentage points higher than the Australian Dragon on average, rich in amino acids and trace elements, and extremely digestible, especially suitable for children and the elderly.
And the most advantage of its taste lies in its egg and the fragrance of its oil, which can form the overall richer taste.
Of course, if you don’t like the egg, then the Australian Dragon is still the most delicious lobster.
Due to the low survival rate and long growth period, there are basically no breeding species of the Great Green Dragon, so there is really no need for merchants to advertise.
The ones sold on the market are all freshwater green dragons, and the real marine green dragons are only pure wild species.
The price…
A little more than two catties in size of the Australian Dragon is about 500 a catty, and a little more than two catties of the Great Green Dragon is impossible to estimate.
If it happens to bump into one, perhaps you will be able to get it at 700 to 800 a catty.
If not, you will need to get someone to specially look for it. Adding all the miscellaneous fees together, easily it’s 5,000 a catty.”
His words were reasonable, detailed, and clear.
Wang Yan’s attitude was even more relaxed and calm, revealing a sense of certainty and confidence from time to time.
Li Yunyin could feel it very clearly, but she did not dare to believe it. She blurted out, “How do you know?”
Young Master Wang looked at her and smiled sincerely.
“I asked someone to look for me before.”
This was a little surreal…
But based on her intuition as a woman, Li Yunyin had almost believed it.
However, Duanmu refused to believe it no matter what — what nonsense was he talking about? ! No one in our circle would eat so delicately. You?!
If the one who spoke was a glutton from a big city, he would believe it.
However, in the mining city, the most fastidious family would only choose expensive things to buy or learn from the fashions of the first-tier cities. How could he believe that Wang Yan was the person who surpassed the fashions?
“Bro, you’re making it sound so real? I finally understand why Liu Li likes you… Tsk tsk!”
He was being sarcastic again.
Wang Yan was still not angry. He chuckled and reminded him, “Senior Duanmu, considering Senior Li’s feelings, there are some things that I can’t say. Actually, Senior Li is quite well-mannered. She didn’t complain even after being disturbed by us for so long. What do you think?”
Duanmu was stunned. His first reaction was: F*ck, what did it have to do with you? Did I need to be reminded on how we were getting along with each other
He stabbed back subconsciously. “Yunyin isn’t as gullible as Liu Li. She knows who’s more outstanding!”
What the heck!
This guy was crazy!
Li Yunyin’s eyes dimmed. She looked at Wang Yan and Liu Li and bit her lip lightly. As if she had made a decision, she then smiled in relief.
She sat back casually and watched the show in silence.
These body language were easy to read, and Duanmu’s mentality was even easier to read.
Young Master Wang suddenly had an epiphany.
Li Yunyin’s family background should only be average middle-class, and Duanmu had never treated her as an equal partner.
To put it bluntly, he was another spoiled brat.
Since young, his requests had always been responded. He was good-looking, and his family was rich. He could get anything he wanted, and he had raised himself to be superior in the mining city’s atmosphere.
What kind of man was he? He was just showing a little concern for good-looking girls when he had nothing to do, and was not stingy with money and other help.
Did he actually have any extraordinary contributions?
No!
In essence, the silly guy never cared about any woman whose family conditions were not as good as his.
Only Liu Li was an exception.
As Liu Li did not fall for that trick!
The more he couldn’t get it, the more he couldn’t forget it. In addition, Liu Li was indeed the most unique girl in the same class, so she directly became the silly guy’s obsession.
Then today he saw — F*ck, your partner was not as good as me in any way!
His mentality suddenly exploded.
Overall, it was a typical specialty of the mining city. A spoilt brat with low EQ when education didn’t keep up with the wealth.
Well, adding the word “impetuous” to the description was more or less sufficient.
Oh, oh, there was also a strong male chauvinism. Of course, this problem seemed to be particularly common among the second generation of the mining city. It was not a personal problem.
Wang Yan suddenly felt very lucky that he did not get the system when he was in his first year of high school. Otherwise, if he had been with this group of people for three years, he might have become crooked.
I was the man who’s going to become a Prince Charming!
I would take this as a warning, I would take this as a warning!
After self-examination, Prince Charming, my brother doggie’s mood became even better. He happily nodded. “Yes, yes, everything you said is right!”
“Pfft!”
Miss. Sanwan finally couldn’t help but laugh. She felt that today’s ill-fated relationship wasn’t that bad.
At the very least, Wang Wang was very happy!
If Wang Wang was happy, I would be happy!
Duanmu’s face flushed red from the laughter. It wasn’t a particularly angry feeling, but a very, very, very… sullen feeling!
F*ck!
So what if you’re a sweet talker and could chat?
I couldn’t catch up to the goddess no matter how hard I tried, but you just hooked your finger to trick her over?
However, Wang Yan’s attitude was so friendly that he couldn’t vent his anger even if he wanted to. He was so stifled that his blood flowed backwards, and he was extremely depressed.
“Little brother, you’re a little… It’s just that our class belle is innocent. Otherwise, who would you be able to trick… Tch!”
He had wanted to say something fierce, but in the end, he made a mess. He really didn’t have a good reason.
Wang Yan was really bad. He had already teased the silly guy to such an extent, yet he still wanted to sprinkle some pepper, salt, cumin, and chili noodles on him.
He sighed in disappointment and said jokingly, “Senior Duanmu, if I had known you earlier, I might not have tricked Liu Li. Lying to your sister, calling you big brother-in-law, and then inheriting your family’s assets, how good would that be?”
This was the only time in the entire day that Young Master Wang had shown his aggressiveness.
This small test of his skills had instantly angered Duanmu to the point of madness.
“Aiyo, look how awesome you are!”
Duanmu pulled his face and no longer tried to hide anything. He spoke with sarcasm.
“Don’t say that I didn’t give you a chance. On the 2nd, Young Master Wang will organize a gathering of his peers in the middle school according to the convention. My sister will definitely be there. If you have the guts, come over!
It’s fine if you can’t get the invitation. I’ll bring you in!
How about it? Do you dare?”
Hey, Hey, brother-in-law, not so serious!
Young Master Wang laughed and shook his head. “Senior, I was just joking. Is there a need for that? I appreciate your kindness. I have to accompany Liu Li. I really don’t have time.”
Who the f*ck was being so kind to you?!
Duanmu’s heart burst into flames. He was so angry that it hurt everywhere.
“You dare not come, then you’re my grandson…”
“Pa!”
Liu Li didn’t let Duanmu finish his sentence. She took out 1,200 yuan from her purse, slapped it on the table, and left with Wang Yan.
“Thank you for your hospitality, but let’s go dutch!”
Duanmu Qinwu was dumbfounded.
“Hey, don’t… I…”
Liu Li didn’t listen to anything and walked away with her doggie.
In just a few seconds, they rushed to the door.
Duanmu looked at the 1,200 yuan, and the more he thought about it, the angrier he got.
D*mn it, you’re such a shameless liar!
You made my goddess to pay for your daily food, Duck King?!
Wang Yan, who was dragged away by Liu Li, was a little confused. He quickly comforted her, “Don’t be afraid, good girl. Your classmate couldn’t do anything to me? He’s too weak!”
“Yes, yes!”
Liu Li giggled and nodded obediently. “I’m just afraid that you’ll be impatient…”
In her heart, she was mumbling crazily —
Who’s worried about you?
I was worried about Duanmu’s sister!
Others might not know your lethality, but how could I not know?
I was already tired. Please, no more trouble for me, okay?!
Following that, Young Master Wang was driven back to Wangjiaao by Liu Li with a dumbfounded look on his face…
