Let’s Squander A Billion First!

Chapter 812: Chapter 812: The Childhood Sweetheart Gets Married (38)

In the last semester of senior year, we entered a state of intense study.

Everyone was giving their all to get into a prestigious university.

But compared to Shengfeng High School, it seemed much more relaxed.

Mu Shen started staying at school later every day, and Chuzheng would go wait for him whenever she felt like tousling his hair; if not, she was nowhere to be seen.

Even though Mu Shen missed Chuzheng, he didn’t want her to wait too long, so he restrained himself from sending her messages.

[Mu Shen: Xiao Chu, which university are you applying to?]

Mu Shen asked Chuzheng on WeChat.

[Chuzheng: Whatever you say.]

Whatever you say...

Mu Shen wasn’t sure if he had misunderstood something.

But then...

[Mu Shen: I... I have good grades.]

Mu Shen wasn’t clear on Chuzheng’s grades; he didn’t know which universities she qualified for.

[Chuzheng: Yeah, I know, good student.]

Seeing those three words, ”good student”, Mu Shen’s cheeks grew warm.

He always felt like Chuzheng was implying something else.

Chuzheng’s response wasn’t answering the question, and Mu Shen couldn’t ask directly, so he turned to ask Jiang Jin.

Jiang Jin was a bit surprised to see a message from Mu Shen—he was practically an invisible presence in her message list.

Plus, they hadn’t chatted since.

Jiang Jin clicked on the avatar to read the message from Mu Shen, and her eyebrows rose slightly.

Jiang Jin typed quickly.

[Jiang Jin Jin Jin Jin: Xiao Chu has really good grades. Ranking first in class wouldn’t be a problem.]

In the last minor exam, Chuzheng hadn’t finished her essay and lost points; otherwise, she would have ranked first in class.

[Mu Shen: Which university... does she want to go to?]

That was something Jiang Jin genuinely didn’t know.

She poked Chuzheng: ”Which university are you planning to apply to?”

Chuzheng, head bowed, answered casually, ”I’ll go wherever Mu Shen goes.”

Jiang Jin inadvertently ate a mouthful of ”dog food” (slang for public displays of affection).

Her mouth twitched as she relayed Chuzheng’s words to Mu Shen.

[Mu Shen: Thank you.]

Jiang Jin clicked her tongue. Xiao Chu’s little boyfriend was really sweet, indeed.

She wondered when she would have such a sweet boyfriend.

-

Mu Shen and Chuzheng ended up at the same university, which made Jiang Jin and Xu Qingzi very envious.

They hadn’t been together in high school but were together in university.

Jiang Jin’s exam results weren’t great; her family pulled some strings to get her into a pretty decent university.

Xu Qingzi’s grades weren’t bad, and she got into the same university as Chuzheng.

Jiang Jin was quite envious.

Fortunately, Jiang Jin’s university wasn’t far from theirs, which was some consolation to her.

Four years of university.

Mu Shen initially worked part-time jobs, but later he started his own business.

Chuzheng didn’t know where he got his startup capital from. At the beginning, he only worked on projects that were quick money-makers and didn’t plan to establish a company.

Later on, when he had some money, he started to work on setting up his company.

By the time they graduated, Mu Shen’s company was on the right track, and Mu Shen became a rising star in the business world, drawing much attention.

-

”Xiao Chu, here.”

Jiang Jin handed Chuzheng a cup of beverage.

Now a popular host on some platform, Jiang Jin was youthful and sweet, looking much the same as she did in high school.

”Hey, I can’t believe how time flies. It feels like just yesterday we were in high school...”

Jiang Jin sounded somewhat nostalgic.

”Hmm...”

Chuzheng’s gaze fell on Mu Shen, who was sitting not far away.

Dressed in light casual wear, every move he made seemed to glisten. He still looked like a college student, polite and well-mannered.

”Hey, Xiao Chu, you see your man every day, and you still look at him, look at me, look at me!!”

Jiang Jin dissatisfiedly blocked Chuzheng.

”You send me videos every day.” Chuzheng, with a cold face, ”I can see you every day.”

Jiang Jin huffed, and suddenly someone sat down beside them, reached out, snatched the drink from Jiang Jin’s hand, and gulped it down.

Jiang Jin glared, ”Xu Qingzi, don’t you know how to get one for yourself?!”

Xu Qingzi took off her sunglasses and handed the cup back to Jiang Jin, ”It’s just a drink, what’s the big deal? Here, there are so many over there, I’ll treat you.”

”...”

Jiang Jin really wanted to smash the cup in Xu Qingzi’s face.

The two of them often bickered.

After a little fuss, they calmed down.

Xu Qingzi talked about her recent situation with Jiang Jin.

Xu Qingzi studied design, and heard that the daughter of her father’s mistress had also studied design. After graduating, Xu Qingzi chose to start her own business, while the mistress’s daughter joined a big company and specialized in opposing Xu Qingzi.

Not long ago, there was an incident where Xu Qingzi was accused of plagiarizing her work.

”Doesn’t your dad do anything about it?” Jiang Jin curled her lip, there were no such troubles in her family; her parents were very loving.

”He likes Xu Jiahuan a lot.” Xu Qingzi laughed scornfully and disdainfully, ”How can I compete with her.”

But she wasn’t scared.

Her dad’s assets were separate from her mom’s.

With her mom’s support, she would inherit her mom’s share. She didn’t care about her dad’s portion.

Just worried that the mistress and Xu Jiahuan might get too greedy...

”If you need anything, let me know, I have money,” Chuzheng spoke up.

”Got it,” Xu Qingzi put down her cup, ”For writing your homework all these years, I won’t be polite.”

”I’m curious, Xiao Chu, where does your money come from?” She never saw her earn any, always spending. Did it fall from the sky?

”Fell from the sky.”

”How come it never falls on me...”

Xu Qingzi nudged Jiang Jin, changing the topic.

Jiang Jin wasn’t very perceptive, maybe she hadn’t noticed, but Xu Qingzi knew that Chuzheng had quite a few people doing things for her.

If Chuzheng didn’t want people to know about these things, then it meant she didn’t want to talk about it.

Asking would be awkward.

”Jiang Jin senior!”

Jiang Jin looked at the person who appeared and her face turned dark.

Gu Yu sat down next to them and waved to Chuzheng, ”Sister-in-law.”

Chuzheng politely nodded her head, while the young lady glared at him without making a sound.

Jiang Jin was not in a good mood, ”What are you doing here? Who let you come? Why can’t you just disappear?”

This was their private gathering, how did Gu Yu get here?!

Jiang Jin particularly disliked Gu Yu.

Jiang Jin had a few encounters with Gu Yu back in Shengfeng High School when he came looking for Chuzheng.

But after they graduated and went to college, she had not seen him since.

Who would have expected, in their junior year, Gu Yu got admitted to her college.

At that time, Jiang Jin was already a popular stream host, and during one of her live streams, she ran into Gu Yu, almost causing an accident.

They couldn’t stand each other, no matter what.

Since then, they had an enmity.

But unexpectedly, Gu Yu had recently been hanging around her a lot.

Gu Yu jutted his chin forward and said with a smile, ”Brother Shen asked me to come, senior, do you have a problem with that?”

Jiang Jin: ”...”

Although Mu Shen seemed like a well-behaved college student, Jiang Jin, after spending a lot of time with him, was always a bit afraid of him.

Naturally, she didn’t dare to object.

”Senior, I want to tell you something...”

”Stay away from me!” Jiang Jin scooted closer to Chuzheng.

”Senior, I’m not going to eat you up.”

Xu Qingzi watched Jiang Jin and Gu Yu with an almost smiling expression.

As soon as Jiang Jin looked up and saw Xu Qingzi’s expression, she felt somewhat embarrassed, ”Don’t think nonsense, I have nothing to do with him! Gu Yu, get lost!”

The young lady shrugged her shoulders, ”Xiao Chu and I weren’t thinking anything, right, Chuzheng.”

Chuzheng nodded earnestly.
