Everyday Romance After Becoming a Billionaire

Chapter 14: Chapter 13: The Bestie Squad

Four girls lived together in Room 404 at the Shanghai Dance Academy.

Having just returned to the dorm after dance practice, Liu Jinyu’s fatigue vanished. She hadn’t expected Su Ran to come to Shanghai so soon.

Ever since they parted at Jiuxi Lake, Liu Jinyu often dreamed of Su Ran.

"Jinyu, who called you? You look so happy."

From the bunk across from her, a baby-faced, busty girl wearing a tiny T-shirt and a miniskirt asked.

"My little brother is here~" Liu Jinyu blurted out excitedly.

"Your little brother? Aren’t you an only child? Where did this little brother pop out from?" the baby-faced, busty girl asked, bewildered.

"What’s that smell?" Another girl, who was lying on her bed playing with her phone, sniffed the air. She looked up, then grabbed a pillow and threw it. "Xie Yiren, are you nuts? Why is my fan pointed over there? No wonder I smell something funky."

"Hahaha... Xiao Wanqing, to die under a pomegranate skirt makes one a romantic even as a ghost," a girl on the opposite bunk, who clearly hailed from the Western Regions, laughed loudly.

Xiao Wanqing snapped with adorable fierceness, "Aina, you can just shut up! And you, Xie Yiren, close your legs this instant!"

Liu Jinyu smiled. ’Just another day of my silly roommates’ hilarious antics,’ she thought. "I’m going to take a shower first."

"Wait..." Xie Yiren stopped her. "Liu Jinyu, you still haven’t explained how you have a little brother."

Liu Jinyu giggled foolishly, "Hee hee hee, I met him last time I went back to my hometown. He’s a year younger than me, so of course he’s my stinky little brother~"

Hearing this, the three girls all went "Ooooh~" with sly grins on their faces.

"Liu Jinyu, you’re not being honest. And now you’re going to shower before you see him, heh heh heh..."

"Didn’t she say she met him back in her hometown? Maybe she already lost *it* somewhere back then."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk... No wonder this woman has been glowing lately."

"Hey, you three, stop talking nonsense! We’re completely innocent, just friends."

Tch...

"He’s eighteen if he just graduated high school. Liu Jinyu, you go girl! So you’re into younger guys."

Liu Jinyu had to hand it to her three besties. Outside, they all acted like goddesses. If a male classmate told a dirty joke, they’d all blush furiously, but inwardly they’d be thinking, ’That’s it? Want me to tell you a real one?’

In the dorm, there were no goddesses. The goddess persona was just a fake front for others. They were all just a bunch of crazies.

"Do you have a picture? Let us see."

"Er..."

For some reason, she felt a little reluctant to show her besties Su Ran’s picture.

"What, you won’t show us? Afraid we’ll steal your stinky little brother away?"

"Tch, what’s there to be afraid of? Here, look for yourselves. I’m going to shower." Liu Jinyu tossed her phone on the bed, took off her clothes, and walked stark naked into the bathroom to shower.

Her three besties jumped off their beds and crowded around to look at Su Ran’s photo.

Xie Yiren: "Your stinky little brother is pretty handsome. Totally my type. Jinyu, hurry up and send me his contact info. I’m gonna hit on him."

Xiao Wanqing: "You, hit on him? He’d probably be afraid of you suffocating him to death."

Xie Yiren puffed out her chest: "What, jealous?"

From the bathroom, Liu Jinyu could hear the shrieks and cries outside. Every day, the dorm was a chaotic mess, the decibel level terrifyingly high.

After her shower, she came out, found a beautiful dress to wear, and put on her makeup.

"I’m going to pick him up now. I’ll treat everyone to dinner tonight, I’ll call you guys later."

"I’ll drive you. I want to see what your stinky little brother looks like, too."

Xiao Wanqing said, getting up. She was a Shanghai local, and her family was the wealthiest among the four girls.

"You guys go ahead, I’m not going. It’s hot enough to die out there." Xie Yiren said, hugging Aina as they lay on the bed.

"Alright..."

Liu Jinyu and Xiao Wanqing slung on their purses and headed out, looking fabulous.

Room 404 was known as the visual peak of Demon Dance, a clique of otherworldly beauties.

The Four Young Actresses were goddesses, pursued by classmates and wealthy heirs alike.

Some liked Liu Jinyu’s cool, older-sister vibe.

Some liked Xie Yiren’s baby face and bombshell figure.

Some liked Xiao Wanqing’s queenly aura and carefree spirit.

But most boys liked the exotic and unique Aina.

In short, the four girls had four different styles, each one completely irresistible.

However, these four girls had high standards; ordinary guys truly couldn’t catch their eye. As a result, they were all still single, even as they were about to start their sophomore year.

In the campus parking lot was a white Mercedes-Benz GLA. It was a nineteenth birthday present from Xiao Wanqing’s father, costing around 400,000 yuan all in.

"Where is he?"

"He said he’s at the Maoyue Grand Hotel."

Xiao Wanqing was taken aback. "The Maoyue Grand Hotel?"

"Yeah, what’s wrong?"

"That place isn’t cheap. Last time my relatives came to Shanghai for a visit, I booked a standard room at the Maoyue for them, and it was 1,235 yuan a night." Xiao Wanqing then gave a playful smile. "Ooh~ I get it now. Your little brother isn’t so simple, is he? If I drop you off, am I going to be a third wheel?"

Liu Jinyu’s pretty face flushed, and she playfully slapped Xiao Wanqing.

"Hey, what nonsense are you talking about? I swear there’s nothing going on between me and Su Ran. Don’t just say things like that, how embarrassing would it be if he heard?"

"Ooh, getting defensive already?"

"...Stop the car. I’m getting out. I’ll take a taxi."

"Hahaha, alright, alright, I’ll stop teasing you."

Half an hour later, the Mercedes GLA drove into the Maoyue Grand Hotel on the Bund. The open-air parking garage was already full of all kinds of luxury cars, including quite a few supercars. Xiao Wanqing circled around but couldn’t find a spot, so she just parked by a flower planter and told Liu Jinyu to call Su Ran and have him come down.

At that moment, Su Ran was fast asleep. Lying in such a comfortable bed, with the view of the Bund outside, he was sleeping very soundly.

The DRING DRING DRING of the phone woke him. It was a call from Liu Jinyu. Su Ran rubbed his eyes, answered, and groggily pressed the phone to his face. "Hello, Jinyu."

"Su Ran, I’m here. My friend drove, but there’s nowhere to park. Can you come down?"

"Where are you parked now?"

"What kind of car, and where is it parked?"

"A Mercedes GLA, parked over by the planter."

"Got it, wait a moment."

Su Ran hung up and used the landline to call his private butler, Yasuo.

Down in the lobby, Yasuo received the call from the guest in the Presidential Suite, Room 1702. He answered and politely inquired, "Mr. Su, how may I be of service?"

"Yasuo, my friend Liu Jinyu is here to see me, but she can’t find a parking spot. She’s temporarily parked by the planter outside the main entrance in a Mercedes GLA. Can you find a spot for her? I’m coming down now."

"Of course. Are there any other instructions?"

"That’s all."

He hung up the phone.

Yasuo walked out of the hotel and approached the Mercedes. He waved the security guard away, then knocked gently on the window like a gentleman. The window rolled down.

Xiao Wanqing, a little bewildered, looked at Yasuo’s square-jawed face, then turned to Liu Jinyu. "Jinyu, is this your stinky little brother?"

"Oh my god~" Liu Jinyu burst out laughing.

Yasuo introduced himself like a gentleman. "Excuse me, are you Mr. Su’s friend, Miss Liu Jinyu?"

"I’m not, she is."

"Understood. Please park over here."

Yasuo signaled a security guard to move the barrier from a nearby parking space, allowing Xiao Wanqing to park her Mercedes GLA inside.

The two of them didn’t think much of it; after all, hotel guests have the right to use the parking spaces.

They parked the car and got out.

Xiao Wanqing noticed the sign next to the spot read: VIP PARKING.

’That can’t be right,’ she thought.

A parking spot like this wasn’t something an ordinary guest could use.

Moreover, this square-jawed man was in a formal suit and wore a badge that read "Private Assistant."

’What’s going on?’

"What is it?" Liu Jinyu asked, tugging on Xiao Wanqing’s arm.

Xiao Wanqing pondered for a moment, then asked, "Excuse me, are you...?"

Yasuo smiled and replied, "I am Mr. Su’s private butler. My name is Yasuo."

"Private butler?" Liu Jinyu was completely bewildered. She whispered, "Wanqing, what’s a private butler?"

"A private butler is standard with the presidential suite!"

Xiao Wanqing poked Liu Jinyu on the forehead.

"Didn’t you say your stinky little brother was an ordinary person? Can an ordinary person afford a presidential suite? Can an ordinary person have a private butler?"
