Everyday Romance After Becoming a Billionaire

Chapter 42: Chapter 33: The Brightest Star of the Night

"Wait, something’s not right. We’re four gorgeous women. Why are we running out in the middle of the night to ’fight’ that little bitch Gao Lu over a stinky Ranran instead of getting our beauty sleep in the dorm?"

In the back seat of the Mercedes GLA, Aina crossed her arms, pondering this serious question.

Liu Jinyu, in the front passenger seat, turned around and retorted, "No one’s stopping you if you don’t want to go. Wanqing, pull over and let Aina go back to the dorm to keep the senior in red company."

The moment she heard "the senior in red," Aina immediately dove into Xie Yiren’s soft, ample embrace.

"You meanie, Jinyu! You know I’m a scaredy-cat, but you still scare me! Hubby, she’s scaring me! I’m so, so scared~"

"Why’d you hit me~"

"’Me, me, me!’ Aina, can you fucking stop with the cutesy act?"

"I’m not..."

"Don’t interrupt. Let me finish. Are you just desperate because no man wants you? Is that why you’re always eating my food, using my stuff, and rubbing all over me every day? What the hell are you rubbing for?"

In the front seat, Liu Jinyu and Xiao Wanqing were speechless. This ’married couple’ was at it again.

Aina was furious. "You’re saying no man wants me?"

Xie Yiren scoffed. "Who in this car doesn’t have dozens or even hundreds of disgusting guys chasing after them? What’s so special about that? Give me something substantial."

Aina was the classic "all boobs, no brains" type. Especially when her best friend challenged her on her looks, she would say anything.

Aina put her hands on her hips and glared. "Fine! You want something substantial, right? Then I’ll tell you. Last week, some rich kid told me that if I became his woman, he’d give me 3 million a year."

"3 million? Are you inflating the price?"

"Inflate my ass, Xie Yiren! I’m telling you the truth, okay?"

At her words, all her friends looked at her.

"So you agreed?"

"Agreed, my ass! He thought he could have me for just 3 million? In his dreams."

"Wait..." Xiao Wanqing cut in. "Was that Wang Xin, the one who drove a Ferrari to campus last week to find you? He’s a legitimate, top-tier rich kid from Shanghai, you know."

"So what? This queen couldn’t care less. Don’t think you can do whatever you want just because you have money. With my looks, and the fact that I can sing, dance, and play all kinds of instruments, will I ever be short on money in the future?"

The story of a rich kid trying to keep an exotic and remarkable freshman as his sugar baby was always welcome gossip. The main point was always whether the girl was willing to sell herself for money.

It was thanks to her strong character and the good upbringing from her parents that Aina hadn’t become corrupted by the wave of rich suitors, not once treating them like ATMs.

"Actually, I’ve had that kind of outrageous request too..." Xie Yiren said awkwardly. "It was last year, right when I started as a freshman. Some rich kid with a McLaren, named Chen Bin or something, found me and told me if I became his woman, he’d give me 1 million a year."

"Only a million? You’re that cheap?"

Hearing this, Xie Yiren felt like she had been one-upped and was quite annoyed.

"That was last year. A million last year! With inflation as bad as it is now, your three million today can’t compare to my one million from last year."

Liu Jinyu, Xiao Wanqing: ’They even have to compete over who’s more valuable?’

Aina: "Hey, you two up front, don’t be so quiet. Tell us about your outrageous encounters."

Xiao Wanqing said calmly, "Oh... last month, a rich kid named Gao Jian heard I’d never had a boyfriend, so he offered to pay 600,000 for my first time."

"Holy shit... For real? Let me see..."

"Aina, what are you looking at?"

"I’m checking to see if you’re studded with diamonds."

"Fuck you, get lost."

HAHAHA...

Aina patted Liu Jinyu’s shoulder and asked, "Hey, Spouting Whale, what about you? Tell us your disgusting story."

Liu Jinyu bit her lip, hesitating whether to say anything.

Seeing her reaction, her friends figured she must have a juicy story.

"Er..." Liu Jinyu tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and said very seriously, "You guys remember back in freshman year, there was a period when I kept getting harassing phone calls from some guy?"

"Uh-huh, and then?"

"I rejected him countless times, but the guy was relentless and just wouldn’t give up. One time, he asked me to meet him at Henglong Square, and I went. I just wanted to tell him to his face that I didn’t like him and to please leave me alone."

"Go on, go on..." Aina loved these kinds of stories.

"When I got to Henglong Square, the guy actually confessed to me..."

Liu Jinyu shook her head, speechless.

"And what’s more, the guy had decorated the central plaza of Henglong Square into a Flower Sea. In the middle was a giant gift box. He spouted a bunch of cheesy romantic lines and then said he had a gift for me to celebrate us getting together."

"That huge box, what was inside?"

"A Ferrari F8!"

Holy fuck?

The moment the queen made her move, she blew everyone else out of the water.

Her friends were dumbfounded.

’That’s Liu Jinyu for you.’

"You have no idea how awkward it was. A crowd of people was yelling ’Get together, get together!’ Oh my god... seriously, I wished I could just Flash back to my dorm. I had no feelings for the guy, so I rejected him right there, turned around, and took a taxi back to school. He never bothered me again after that."

Her friends fell silent...

"So, who was that guy, to be so extravagant?"

"Zhao Xiu."

"Young Master Zhao? Holy fuck! It was him?"

The other three girls’ reactions were priceless, their faces filled with shock.

There were two major figures in the circle of Shanghai’s top-tier rich kids.

One was the Hushang Emperor, Qin Fei.

The other was Young Master Zhao, Zhao Xiu.

These two weren’t just super-rich kids anymore; they were bona fide Divine Rich big shots.

Aina said in shock, "But Young Master Zhao is said to get any woman he wants. You’re telling me he failed with you?"

Liu Jinyu said awkwardly, "Oh, come on, I don’t even like him. Besides, guys like that are just playing around, using money to seem romantic. I’d never fall for that. Our little stinky bro is still the best. He’s rich but low-key, and he doesn’t mess around. Such a good boy~ Anyway, let’s drop this. Hurry up and drive faster."

「Speed Club.」

The race was already underway.

Su Ran sat on the fourth floor, listening as Zhao Yang pointed to the track below and explained the rules for tonight’s race.

Ten laps. The first-place winner would receive a one-million prize and a VIP card for the fourth floor.

The most valuable prize, without a doubt, was the VIP card.

You had to understand, the people on the fourth floor were all super-rich kids. Getting a VIP card meant access to the fourth floor and a chance to meet them, which could change a person’s destiny. There was no doubt about that.

Su Ran nodded. ’That makes sense.’

As the old saying goes, water flows downward, and people strive upward.

Even if he was a Divine Rich, it was all useless without connections. A network was always the best weapon.

BEEP BEEP BEEP...

Su Ran’s phone rang.

The caller was...

"Stinky?" Gao Lu got goosebumps. "Ew, you guys are so gross. I’m getting goosebumps."

Su Ran was a little embarrassed. "Er, she changed it."

Gao Lu shook her head. "I’m speechless with you two."

"I’m going to head down and get them."

"Here, a VIP card." Gao Lu winked at Su Ran. "Once the Four Young Actresses make their entrance, you’ll be the star of the show tonight."

"Sister Gao Lu, you’re very beautiful too."

"Hehehe~ Such a sweet talker. Go on, hurry."
