Super Rich by Doing as You Please

Chapter 71: Chapter 71: Pretend, Keep Pretending

In the car, Xu Yun quickly received the system reward for the crash.

[A man cannot be a coward. Faced with an ex-husband’s mockery of his friends, the Host drove his luxury car and, in a ’Do as You Please’ move, crashed into him and taught him a lesson on the spot. Reward: 2,000,000 cash!]

Bank card balance: 11,030,000.

At that moment, Su Mu, sitting in the back seat, had also recovered from her earlier shock.

She looked at Xu Yun driving in front and felt a little touched.

’And to think I thought of him that way just now, that I’d misjudged him.’

Su Mu said with some guilt, ”Xu Yun, that was so dangerous. Don’t do something so foolish again.”

”Yeah, you nearly scared me to death just now.”

Li Jinshu added, her heart still pounding with fear, ”Even though that Zhao Xianhong is despicable, you didn’t need to risk your own life.”

”I’m not an idiot.”

Xu Yun laughed. ”I had my seatbelt on. At such a short distance, it’s fine.”

”It was still dangerous,”

Li Jinshu said, ”What if there had been an accident? If something really happened to you, Susu would feel guilty for the rest of her life.

Of course, I’d be very sad too.”

”Now that you mention it, I think I might actually be hurt.”

Xu Yun pretended to clutch his chest with one hand, saying, ”My chest hurts a little now.”

”Really?”

Hearing this, Su Mu immediately said, ”Let’s go. We need to get you to a hospital for a check-up.”

”Yeah, to the hospital.”

Li Jinshu added worriedly, ”Don’t tell me you have internal injuries. I’ve seen on the news that lots of people in car accidents seem fine at first, but then a short while later, they’re gone.”

”Uh, it’s not that serious.”

Xu Yun replied, ”Actually, if each of you gives me a kiss after we get out of the car, I’ll probably be all better.”

Su Mu and Li Jinshu couldn’t help but roll their eyes.

Seeing that Xu Yun was still in the mood to joke, the two of them figured he must really be fine and felt a lot more relieved.

After a few seconds of silence,

Li Jinshu said, a little regretfully, ”Xu Yun, how could you bear to crash your sports car into his? It was obviously not worth it. I feel like you lost out big time.”

”I wasn’t thinking that much at the time.”

Xu Yun said casually, ”In that moment, I wanted to crash into him, so I did.

Besides, in my eyes, there’s only ’worth it’ or ’not worth it,’ never ’profit’ or ’loss.’ As long as it’s something money can solve, it doesn’t matter.

Since you’re my friends, how could I just stand by and watch you get bullied in front of me?

It’s just a car. If it gets totaled, I’ll just buy another one. I was planning on getting a new car anyway.”

Li Jinshu was speechless.

’If it gets totaled, just buy another one.’ Only he could say something like that.

Su Mu spoke up, ”Once you get the repair costs for both cars today, let me know. I’ll transfer the money to you. After all, this happened because of me.”

”I don’t want money.”

Xu Yun shook his head and said meaningfully, ”I only accept payment in the flesh. If you don’t believe me, ask Jinshu.”

”??” Su Mu looked at her best friend in confusion.

”Susu, don’t listen to his nonsense.”

Li Jinshu was caught off guard. She glared at Xu Yun and retorted, a little flustered, ”I’ve never owed him money, let alone paid him back with my body.”

”Okay, that’s enough teasing,” Su Mu said. She didn’t believe his outrageous claim for a second. ’As if Li Jinshu would really pay him back with her body.’

She said, ”Let’s go. Take us to see your new house.”

”Yeah, hurry up. Stop spouting nonsense here.”

”Oh.”

...

「After leaving East Lake, Xu Yun drove straight toward Jinyuan.」

”Is Xu Yun going the wrong way?”

Li Jinshu looked at the familiar streetscape and said, ”This route looks like it’s heading back to our complex.”

”Yeah, we are heading back to your complex.”

”Huh?” Li Jinshu asked in confusion. ”Didn’t we agree to go see your new house?”

”Yeah, we are going to my new house.”

Xu Yun replied with a smile, ”My new house is in your complex.”

Su Mu and Li Jinshu were speechless.

’His new house is in our complex?’

About ten minutes later, Su Mu and Li Jinshu watched as Xu Yun drove into the garage of their own residential complex.

The two of them felt like they’d been tricked.

’Somehow, I can’t quite believe it.’

’This isn’t going to his new house, he’s clearly just taking us home.’

After parking the car in a space, to prove he was telling the truth, Xu Yun pointed to the parking space next to his and said, ”Look, that’s my spot.”

Su Mu looked up.

’Holy cow. The license plate number displayed for the private parking spot was actually Xu Yun’s.’

...

”Come on, I’ll take you on a tour of my new home.”

Xu Yun smiled and walked toward the elevator. The two women behind him exchanged a look of bewilderment before following.

Under their astonished gazes, the trio took the elevator to the 19th floor.

And stopped in front of the apartment opposite theirs.

Xu Yun said with a smile, ”Alright, we’re here. This is my new home.”

”This is your place?”

Li Jinshu said in surprise, ”You bought the apartment across from ours?”

”Why? Is that not allowed?”

Xu Yun smiled and winked. ”From now on, we’re neighbors.”

Li Jinshu and Su Mu were speechless.

The thought that Xu Yun would be living right across the hall from now on made both of them feel a little strange.

Then, Xu Yun entered the passcode and opened the door. The two women followed him inside to tour his new home.

Compared to Su Mu’s apartment, Xu Yun’s was a bit larger, but the basic layout was pretty much the same.

After looking around,

Li Jinshu said without thinking, ”Susu, if our water heater breaks in the future, we can come over to Xu Yun’s place to shower.”

”Sure!”

Hearing this, Xu Yun laughed happily. ”You’re welcome to drop by at night anytime.”

”In your dreams.”

Li Jinshu pouted. ”Whoever comes to shower here would be an idiot. Isn’t that like a lamb walking into a wolf’s den? You might just get ’eaten up’ if you’re not careful.”

”Don’t you go accusing me wrongly.”

Xu Yun looked at Su Mu and said meaningfully, ”Sister Su should know that I never do anything against a woman’s will.”

Li Jinshu looked at Su Mu. ”Susu, has he done something against your will?”

”No.”

Su Mu also replied, a little flustered, ”Don’t listen to his nonsense. Not a single proper word ever comes out of his mouth.”

”Mhm.”

Li Jinshu nodded repeatedly in agreement. ”Right, he just loves to spout nonsense sometimes.”

Xu Yun was speechless.

He looked at the expressions on the two best friends’ faces and couldn’t stop laughing to himself.

’Go on, keep pretending.’

’Don’t you two know perfectly well in your hearts whether I’m spouting nonsense or not?’

Meanwhile, after Ning Qian finished moving in the afternoon, she took her colleagues to the Shangfang Hot Pot Restaurant and requested the same private room as last time.

Because she had Xu Yun’s membership card, the manager was very welcoming to them.

But unlike when she was with Xu Yun, Ning Qian didn’t order extravagantly. She didn’t pick the biggest and most expensive seafood, but chose the regular options instead.

A table of eight people sat in the private room. They were incredibly excited, eating the pricey seafood while looking out at the beautiful night scenery.

They occasionally took pictures of each other to post on social media or shared their joy with their families.

As it was her second time here, Ning Qian was much calmer than her colleagues.

She gazed at the night view outside the window, wondering, ’I wonder what Xu Yun is doing right now.’

’Maybe, just like me, he’s also somewhere in Jiangcheng, having dinner with someone.’

”Ning Qian, what are you spacing out for all by yourself?”

A colleague came over, happily pulling her arm. ”Come on, help us take a picture. I want to post it in the group chat and make that woman Wang Shengmei die of jealousy.”

”Okay.”
