Let’s Squander A Billion First!

Chapter 776: Chapter 776: The Childhood Sweetheart Gets Married (2)

Being a student, one ought to go to school.

Love what you do.

She was a dedicated and good person.

So she went to school—mainly because the chances of squandering her inheritance were much less there than loitering outside.

King’s Account didn’t expose Chuzheng.

-

Shengfeng High School is a private institution.

Externally, it’s mockingly referred to as a noble school.

However, it still falls short of a real noble school, although the fact that it does have a lot of wealthy students is indeed true.

The original character would have been suited for a public school based on her grades.

But the stepfather, feeling that this was beneath his status, insisted against her wishes and made her attend Shengfeng High School.

Therefore, in this school teeming with wealthy second generations, the original character basically had no friends.

The only one was Jiang Jin.

Outside vehicles weren’t allowed on campus; they could only stop outside the school gates.

”Little boss, when should I come to pick you up?” the driver asked, poking his head out.

”I’ll let you know in advance when I need the car,” she said.

”... And when you don’t need the car, what should I do?”

”Whatever.”

The driver watched as Chuzheng entered the school with no hesitation.

Chuzheng was late for two classes, but Jiang Jin had asked for leave on her behalf, so the teacher didn’t say much and let her sit down quickly.

”You’re finally here.”

Jiang Jin was her deskmate. As soon as Chuzheng sat down, she leaned in.

”Where have you been?”

”It’s a long story.” If I told you, you might not believe it, but I went to get a new ”chip.”

Jiang Jin scrutinized her dubiously and asked in a lowered voice, ”Where’s your backpack?”

”Lost it, I guess.” Chuzheng wasn’t quite sure; it seemed like the original character took it home, but when she was kicked out, she didn’t know if it was thrown out or if she didn’t pick it up.

But it wasn’t important.

However, Jiang Jin quickly dashed any hope Chuzheng might have had the very next second.

”Did you finish last week’s essay? It’s due this morning.”

An essay!

Due today!

Is it too late for me to skip class now?

”You didn’t lose it too, did you?”

Chuzheng held a straight face, awkward yet polite, as she looked at Jiang Jin. The message was clear: yes, she had lost it.

Jiang Jin felt that there was something odd about Chuzheng.

Both her wording and her demeanor were a bit strange.

But chatting against the wind carried a great risk, and without dwelling on it, Jiang Jin said, ”You’d better write fast; you have one period left. You can finish.”

Chuzheng clung to hope, ”Do I really have to turn it in?”

Jiang Jin gave her a look that affirmed and guaranteed it.

”If you don’t, Teacher Qiu won’t let you off. Didn’t you write it? What did you do over the weekend? I think you’re acting strange...”

”Jiang Jin, come up here and solve this problem,” said the math teacher from the podium, catching Jiang Jin off-guard and calling her up.

Jiang Jin stuck out her tongue and, under the gaze of the entire class, went up to work out the problem.

-

After class, Jiang Jin didn’t wait for Chuzheng and ran towards the restroom.

When she came back, Chuzheng had already dealt with the essay and was sitting at her desk playing with her phone.

”Aren’t you going to make up for it?” Jiang Jin asked, amazed. ”Aren’t you the one who’s most afraid of Teacher Qiu?”

”Not anymore.”

Teacher Qiu was their homeroom teacher who taught Chinese.

He was rigid and stern. Even though many students were from wealthy families, they didn’t dare to act out in Teacher Qiu’s presence.

Homework for his subject was also the most consistently completed.

It wasn’t until the class representative collected the homework in the last period that Jiang Jin understood why Chuzheng was so calm.

She had actually hired a substitute writer.

”Since when are you so close to Xu Qingzi?” To the point she’d do your essay for you! Her buddy had always been just her, and now she suddenly had other buddies!!

”Not close,” Chuzheng replied.

”How did she end up writing your essay if you’re not close?”

”...you’re rich, huh.”

”Xu Qingzi is a rich second generation, how could she be short of money?” Jiang Jin rolled her eyes. ”Do you guys have some shady deal going on?”

Chuzheng: ”...”

She really was rich.

Being a second generation only meant that.

The economic power was held by the first generation; the amount of money they could manage was always finite.

Before, the original host had overheard Xu Qingzi arguing with her family on the phone in the bathroom. She wanted to buy a new necklace, and it seemed her family was telling her she was still in school and such luxury items were overly expensive. She had a big fight with them over it.

”Yao Chuzheng, you better not have lied to me.”

Xu Qingzi moved past Chuzheng with a fierce look on her pretty face, as if she would hit her if Chuzheng had lied to her.

Xu Qingzi didn’t know how she came to believe her.

She had heard of her background long ago; how could she have that much money...

Yet bizarrely, she believed her...

It was as if she had seen a ghost.

Xu Qingzi even suspected that she had a screw loose at the time.

”Hmm.”

Chuzheng didn’t even glance aside, just casually acknowledging her.

Xu Qingzi wanted to say more, but seeing Chuzheng’s demeanor, she snorted and returned to her seat.

”Seriously, what’s going on with you two?”

”Just a normal transaction,” Chuzheng calmly replied.

Jiang Jin felt she couldn’t keep up with Chuzheng’s train of thought.

Chuzheng texted her driver to go buy something and had it delivered to her by noon.

Chuzheng handed the item to Xu Qingzi.

”You got it? That fast?” Xu Qingzi was astonished as she took the finely packaged box, opened it, and found the very necklace she longed for.

It was sold out across the country.

How did she manage to get it?

And in such a short time...

”It’s not fake, is it?” Xu Qingzi suddenly asked.

”There should be a receipt in the box,” Chuzheng said, unfazed by the questioning, her tone remaining even.

Xu Qingzi rummaged through the box and indeed found the receipt.

”...”

Suddenly, Xu Qingzi felt as if the object was burning her hands.

Yao Chuzheng was not any rich second generation. Her mother had married into wealth, and she was just an Oil Bottle.

Even if her stepfather was nice to her, it was impossible for him to give her so much money.

Most importantly, all she did was write an essay for her, and she received such an expensive item in return, which felt weird.

”Are you... really giving this to me?”

”Yeah.”

Chuzheng passed by her and left.

Clutching the item, Xu Qingzi felt somewhat at a loss for a moment.

She bit her lip, thinking to repay her when she got her allowance next month.

With this thought, Xu Qingzi felt much better deep down.

-

Jiang Jin saw Chuzheng talking to Xu Qingzi and giving her something, but she couldn’t make out what it was.

”Xiao Chu, what are you up to with Xu Qingzi?”

”Nothing much.”

Jiang Jin pouted. ”You this weekend... Hey, isn’t that Yan Xiu?”

Jiang Jin shook Chuzheng vigorously.

Everyone at school knew Yan Xiu was chasing after Chuzheng.

Because of this, the original host hadn’t been spared from ostracism and targeting.

But with Yan Xiu caring for her, she hadn’t faced any serious troubles.

Jiang Jin had always been a witness to their ’love story,’ and seeing Yan Xiu now, she naturally reminded her friend with excitement.

Jiang Jin even called out: ”Yan Xiu!”

However, the boy turned his head for a glance, then, acting all high and mighty, walked away without looking back.

Jiang Jin stood there, stunned.

Yan Xiu used to run over to Chuzheng at the first sight of her to check on her well-being.

What happened today...

Everyone was just behaving weirdly.
