Everyday Romance After Becoming a Billionaire

Chapter 20: Chapter 17: One Leading 4

The Mercedes-Benz GLA pulled into a parking spot on Jinxian Road. The three of them walked into an old, established Shanghainese restaurant called Spring Restaurant.

As soon as they entered, two graceful and beautiful women sitting at a round table waved with bright smiles.

’So these are Liu Jinyu’s best friends?’

One was a beauty from the Western Regions with a rather exotic charm.

The other was a petite girl with a baby face and a bombshell figure.

Then he looked at Liu Jinyu and Xiao Wanqing beside him.

Liu Jinyu had the vibe of a sophisticated older sister, while Xiao Wanqing projected a powerful, queenly aura.

’What a heavenly group of beautiful best friends.’

’It’s true what they say, beautiful women have beautiful friends.’

"Whoa, Wanqing was right. You’re useless at everything but you’re always first in line to eat," Liu Jinyu said teasingly as she walked over.

The tall beauty from the Western Regions replied haughtily, "Of course. If you’re not enthusiastic about eating, there’s something wrong with your brain. Hey, Spouting Whale, aren’t you going to introduce the handsome little guy next to you?"

"Spouting Whale, my ass! Say that again and believe me, I’ll smack you."

She paused, then patted Su Ran’s shoulder and introduced him magnanimously, "This is Su Ran, my..." She hesitated for a moment before changing her wording, "...my friend!"

"Ooooh~ The relationship’s gotten so formal. Isn’t he your ’stinky little brother’?"

"What do you know? When things get formal, it opens up more possibilities."

"Ohhh~ Our Spouting Whale is quite the schemer, isn’t she~"

Liu Jinyu wished she could just rip her friends’ big mouths shut.

"Su Ran, don’t mind them. They just love to spout nonsense," Liu Jinyu said, her face flushing red.

"It’s fine. I can tell you’re all very close. A pleasure to meet you both. I’m Su Ran."

Noticing the two beauties scanning him up and down, Su Ran casually did a full turn and said with a smile, "Finished with your scan?"

Xie Yiren and Aina stopped openly scrutinizing Su Ran.

"Not bad. Liu Jinyu wasn’t exaggerating, you’re pretty handsome. Hello, my name is Aina. I’m from the Western Regions, and I’m the most beautiful and perfect woman at the Shanghai Dance Academy. The one next to me is Xie Yiren. She’s just whatever, basically an NPC. Not worth mentioning, so you don’t need to remember her."

"You’re the NPC! Aina, believe me, I’m going to kill you!"

Xie Yiren had shoulder-length hair and delicate features, and she was especially beautiful when she smiled. However, the little beauty was rather shy in front of boys, the type that makes them want to protect her the moment they see her.

Aina, on the other hand, had a much more uninhibited personality and was the type to warm up to people instantly.

’Since you’re done scanning me, it’s my turn to start!’

’Time to use Goddess Authority.’

’DING! Aina’s Authority Report is as follows:’

Name: Aina Dilmurat

Age: 18

Height: 169 cm

’DING! Xie Yiren’s Authority Report is as follows:’

Name: Xie Yiren

Age: 18

Overall Score: 94

[Comment: The spitting image of a first love.]

’After reading their Authority Reports, no wonder the emperors of old loved to conquer the Western Regions. It all makes sense now.’

’But what surprised Su Ran even more was that everyone in this group of friends was a virgin!’

’He wondered who would be lucky enough to be the one to ’unbox’ them.’

After the introductions, the five of them sat down and began to eat and chat.

"Huh? Aina, when did you buy those earrings?" Liu Jinyu asked, noticing the beautiful dangling pendants on her ears.

"Just now," Aina said, flicking them lightly.

Xie Yiren poked Aina’s forehead. "This little spendthrift just dragged me into Louis Vuitton when we walked by because she saw a pair of earrings. Over 3,000 yuan! Let’s see if you aren’t eating dirt for the rest of the month... Don’t look at me with those pitiful eyes. I don’t have much money left on my card either. It’s only enough for me to support myself, so you’re on your own."

Aina put on a pitiful expression and clung to Xie Yiren’s arm coquettishly. "Hubby~ Don’t be like that~ I swear this will be the only time I’m this impulsive~"

"Tch~ It’s useless even if you call me ’Daddy.’ It’s always like this. Tell me, has there been a single time this semester when you didn’t blow through your living allowance as soon as you got it? If I hadn’t been supporting you all this time, do you think your chest would’ve gotten so big?"

"I’m telling you, you have to take responsibility for me. In short, for the rest of the month, you have to support me."

"Support you, my ass~ Go find yourself a boyfriend to freeload off of for a while. If that doesn’t work, you can find a ’stinky little brother’ too."

Aina moaned, "Sigh, how could we ever be as lucky as Liu Jinyu."

"Shut up!"

Liu Jinyu grabbed a chicken drumstick and stuffed it into her mouth.

Just to stop her from rambling on with her nonsense.

Su Ran found the four of them quite interesting. He raised his glass and said, "It’s a pleasure to meet you four beautiful ladies. I’ll toast you with this juice in place of wine."

The four girls seriously raised their glasses, clinked them with Su Ran’s, and drained them in one go.

Since they were all young, there wasn’t much of a generation gap. Plus, the four of them were very easy to get along with, and they all became friendly after just a bit of conversation. If he had to point out a flaw... it would be that four women together was a drama in itself. It was just too rowdy.

Among the four girls, Xiao Wanqing was the one with strong control over the situation. Every time Aina was about to go off-topic, she would pull the conversation back.

Liu Jinyu was very well-behaved and docile today, not speaking much. Whenever she did, her friends would find an opportunity to tease her, so she kept talking to Su Ran to keep him from getting bored.

Xie Yiren didn’t talk much either. She was a total foodie; she’d rather spend her time eating more than talking.

The other diners in the restaurant would glance over from time to time. They saw the four beauties, each with a completely different style, and then the young man in their midst. ’That kid’s got some incredible luck with women. How does he get to be with four of them?’

But one look at the young man’s hand as he raised his glass made it clear. He was with four women on the basis of his Patek Philippe.

’So he’s a rich second-generation heir. No wonder the four girls are all smiling so happily.’

Of course, Su Ran didn’t know that in others’ eyes, he had become a rich heir. He was a Divine Rich, a true chosen one, a first-generation wealthy man.

BEEP BEEP BEEP. A female classmate named Gao Lu called Liu Jinyu.

"Hey, Lulu, what’s up?... We’re not at school. My little brother is here, so we’re out eating with him... Yeah, everyone’s here... It’s your birthday? Why didn’t you say so earlier? That’s not cool... Uh... okay, I’ll ask them and call you back. Bye..."

After hanging up, Liu Jinyu said, "Gao Lu called. It’s her birthday, and her boyfriend is taking her to a bar to celebrate. Lulu called to ask us to come hang out."

Xiao Wanqing: "That girl is celebrating her birthday and doesn’t even give us a heads-up?"

Liu Jinyu: "She said she originally just wanted to celebrate with her boyfriend, but he’s in a good mood now and suggested celebrating again at a bar, so Lulu called to invite all of us to go."

Gao Lu was their classmate, and they usually got along quite well.

Since she was inviting them out for her birthday, it was natural to assume she considered them good friends.

On one hand, it was her good friend. On the other, it was her ’stinky little brother.’

Naturally, Liu Jinyu wanted to take care of both. Besides, it was Gao Lu’s 19th birthday. If they didn’t go, it would probably create some bad blood.

’This bitch sure has convenient timing for her birthday,’ she cursed inwardly.

Xiao Wanqing and the others didn’t really mind either way.

As for Su Ran...

Liu Jinyu: "Ranran, would you mind coming with me to a bar later to meet my classmate?"

Su Ran smiled and said, "You’ve already called me Ranran. How could I possibly say no?"

"Such a good boy~ By the way, have you ever been to a bar?"

"Not really."

Su Ran said, lying through his teeth. He had been to bars countless times, but always as a resident singer, never as a paying customer.

Although he didn’t really like bars, it was her classmate’s birthday, and Liu Jinyu wanted to show off her ’stinky little brother.’ It wouldn’t be right to refuse.

As dinner was winding down, Su Ran used the excuse of going to the restroom to go pay the bill. Seeing this, Liu Jinyu put down her chopsticks, dashed over to the counter, and pressed down on Su Ran’s hand, warning him in a fierce but cute way, "What are you doing, you stinky Ranran? Are you looking down on me? Trying to fight me for the bill!"

"I already paid."

"How much was it? I’ll transfer it to you."

Liu Jinyu glanced at his phone.

’Whoa, 1,314 yuan?’

’What a coincidence. These terrible friends of mine really know how to rack up a bill~’

"I’m transferring it to you. I have to!"

As she spoke, Liu Jinyu transferred 1,314 yuan to Su Ran.

Su Ran also found the number amusing when he saw it.

’It seems like this isn’t about paying the bill anymore...’

"Are you going to accept it or not?" Liu Jinyu was particularly insistent.

’If I don’t accept it, it feels like I’d be hurting her feelings.’

’If I do accept it, it feels like our relationship is changing.’

"Alright, then. I won’t refuse."

Su Ran accepted the transfer. Liu Jinyu broke into a sweet smile. "Let’s go. Time to take you to meet my classmates, stinky Ranran~"
