Let’s Squander A Billion First!

Chapter 1334: Chapter 1334: The Real and Fake Heiress (40)

During breakfast, Shu Juan looked a bit worried: ”Your parents met me yesterday. Are they going to oppose us?”

Even though she was of age, she was still studying.

Chuzheng was very confident: ”I’ll handle it, don’t worry.”

”...”

Shu Juan silently ate his breakfast and then took Chuzheng to school.

They met Wu Qiang when they went downstairs.

When Qiang Qiang saw Chuzheng, he bolted like a mouse seeing a cat, disappearing in a flash.

”He seems quite afraid of you?”

”Hmm.”

Chuzheng didn’t bother to explain and walked out of the hallway.

Shu Juan asked Chuzheng to wait for a moment while he went to fetch a bicycle: ”Little one, hop on.”

Chuzheng: ”...”

No!

I refuse!!

-

”Xiao Chu, who was that guy who brought you to school today?”

As soon as Chuzheng entered the school, she was pulled aside by He Shan, who bombarded her with questions.

”Boyfriend.”

He Shan gasped: ”You’re in a relationship?”

”Why not?”

”...Well no, it’s just that your boyfriend is really handsome!” He Shan’s eyes sparkled: ”Is he a celebrity? He dresses so low-key and even rides a bike to take you to school. How romantic!”

Chuzheng: ”...”

Heh.

The Good Person Card’s presence was already so obvious. If he didn’t dress low-key, he’d be way over the top.

Chuzheng felt quite annoyed, wanting to cover him up and not let others see.

-

Things settled on that side, and those keeping an eye on Shu Juan withdrew.

Besides picking up and dropping off Chuzheng, Shu Juan mostly stayed in, taking online jobs when he needed money. It was quick money.

Chuzheng rationally discussed matters with Mr. and Mrs. Yan, and although they were a bit hesitant, they eventually accepted Shu Juan’s presence.

After Shu Juan dropped off and picked up Chuzheng a few times, and given Chuzheng’s lack of denial, the school soon learned she had a super handsome boyfriend.

The Dean of Students came, calling Chuzheng to the office for over an hour.

However, no one observed any follow-up actions.

The Dean of Students didn’t impose any actions on her.

Dean of Students: ”...”

He wanted to.

But the Principal wouldn’t allow it!

Is having money that great!!

The Dean of Students was frustrated and focused on catching Chuzheng sneaking over the school wall every day.

-

Chuzheng encountered Du Xia again at a bar.

Du Xia was with her schoolmates, but it didn’t look like she was doing well. She trailed at the back, her face revealing resentment, yet she didn’t dare speak up.

Chuzheng observed the group for a while, realizing they subtly excluded her.

If Du Xia wanted to blend into this little clique, she had to be extra careful, not daring to speak a word.

At their school, the Du family’s wealth made Du Xia seem like a big shot among the students, someone they could fawn over.

But in this elite school, what did the Du family amount to? The others didn’t think much of it.

”Go call that girl over for me.” Chuzheng nudged He Shan.

”Which one?” He Shan asked indistinctly while munching on snacks.

”That one.” Chuzheng pointed at the girl leading the group, someone the original protagonist vaguely remembered, seemingly named Tang Xiaoqing: ”Just tell her I want to see her.”

”Oh, okay.” He Shan, having no particular thoughts, went ahead since Chuzheng asked.

He Shan jogged over, exchanged a few words with Tang Xiaoqing.

Tang Xiaoqing seemed reluctant, but then changed her mind and followed He Shan over.

Chuzheng’s booth was in the far corner, spacious, and unlike the lively and noisy places in front, it seemed rather quiet.

Chuzheng sat inside with Shu Juan beside her, who was fiddling with his phone and paying no attention to anyone.

The obscure light cast over his face highlighted a breathtakingly beautiful visage, making girls’ hearts race and swoon.

Tang Xiaoqing first glanced at Chuzheng, then scanned Shu Juan, her gaze lingering on his face.

Chuzheng wrapped her arm around Shu Juan’s waist, causing him to slightly tilt his head to look at her, after which he lowered his head, edging closer toward Chuzheng.

Their posture instantly became intimate and ambiguous.

Tang Xiaoqing, seeing the boy was already spoken for, quickly diverted her gaze, maintaining a polite smile: ”Did you need something from me?”

Of course, Tang Xiaoqing knew about the mistakenly adopted daughter of the Du family.

They had met before.

And she was even accompanied by the actual eldest daughter of the Du family.

But this girl...

Seems a bit different from before.

Rumor had it that the Yan family she returned to was very poor.

How could she leisurely show up here?

Everyone knew that the costs here were not low for students like them.

She came over because they had crossed paths before, and although the interactions weren’t deep, there were no ill feelings either.

Chuzheng gestured to Tang Xiaoqing: ”Sit.”

Tang Xiaoqing hesitated, then smiled slightly and sat down beside her.

Her posture was elegant, back straight, exuding an aristocratic grace effortlessly and thoroughly.

Chuzheng casually traced her finger along Shu Juan’s waist and nonchalantly asked: ”Is Du Xia hanging out with you?”

Tang Xiaoqing squinted slightly: ”Not really, she’s just playing around with us.”

She hadn’t expected Chuzheng to ask about Du Xia.

Chuzheng: ”The Tang family is in need of money for a project right now, aren’t they?”

Tang Xiaoqing frowned, not understanding Chuzheng’s intent.

Weren’t they just asking about Du Xia? Why the sudden shift to her family’s business?

”I can invest this money,” Chuzheng continued.

Tang Xiaoqing’s expression immediately became intriguing: ”As far as I know, you shouldn’t have any money right now.”

”That’s according to what you know. Would I not know if I have money or not?”

”...”

Tang Xiaoqing chuckled: ”Fine, let’s assume you have money. What’s your condition?”

”Simple.”

Chuzheng’s gaze fell on Du Xia in the crowd, and Tang Xiaoqing followed her line of sight.

-

Tang Xiaoqing returned home, and the servant came over to hand her shoes: ”Miss, did you drink?”

”Just a little. Where’s Dad?” Tang Xiaoqing put her belongings down, glancing inside without seeing her father.

”Sir is in a bad mood and is in the study,” the servant cautiously reminded: ”Miss, if you don’t have anything important, it’s better not to disturb him.”

Tang Xiaoqing ignored the servant’s advice, quickly ascending the stairs, and barged directly into the study.

Father Tang was on the phone; upon hearing the noise, he turned around, frowning and looking reproachfully at Tang Xiaoqing.

”Alright, I’ll wait for your update.” Father Tang hung up the phone: ”Tang Xiaoqing, you’re getting more and more out of line!!”

”Dad, I have good news.”

Father Tang frowned: ”What good news? Don’t tell me you’re asking for money again? Look at our current situation, I don’t have money for you. You need to rein it in lately; if we can’t get through this, we’re done for, understand?”

Tang Xiaoqing displayed a card, spinning it in the air twice before placing it on the desk: ”I found the money.”

”You?” Father Tang’s tone was skeptical.

He stared at the card on the desk: ”Your pocket money, huh?”

Tang Xiaoqing: ”...”

”Of course not, my pocket money is just enough for spending, there’s none left over.”

”...You do realize that!!”

Tang Xiaoqing asked Father Tang to verify the funds in the card.

Even though Father Tang was skeptical, he still had someone check the card.

Once the news came back, Father Tang’s expression immediately turned grave.
