"Jiangbei, my dear underclassman, you claim to love me, but you're so rich, won't you even buy me a bag?"
A sweet feminine voice echoed next to Jiangbei's ear.
Jiang Bei shivered. He looked around in surprise and realized he was in a mall.
Then he noticed the beautiful girl beside him who was speaking. He stammered incredulously, "Ye Churan? What are you doing here…?”
Ye Churan pouted as if she was genuinely upset because Jiangbei did not want to buy her a bag. She pretended to sulk, saying, "What's this all about! You're not even calling me your senior anymore? Do you dislike me? If you dislike me, why do you ask me out?”
It took Jiangbei a good five seconds to fully absorb what was happening.
He had been reborn!
This was the time when he was a freshman in college!
In his past life, he was a second-generation rich kid who declared bankruptcy after a failed business venture.
He sought help from those who had assisted him in the past.
He had hoped to get through the tough times smoothly, but instead of help, he was met with all sorts of humiliation!
In the end, he jumped off from a building in despair.
The youthful and beautiful girl in front of him, dressed in a pleated school uniform, was Ye Churan, the best friend of the sister of Jiangbei's friend, Zhou Liang, in his previous life.
On the surface, she appeared innocent and charming, but in truth, she was a manipulative and deceitful girl who wasn't actually interested in Jiangbei – she just wanted to feed off his wealth.
Initially, Jiangbei himself couldn't figure out why he was so infatuated with Ye Churan.
In only a few short months, he had spent nearly two hundred thousand on her.
Just like that!
Yet, Ye Churan never became his girlfriend, and instead had Jiangbei wrapped around her finger.
What's even more outrageous was,
Ye Churan already had a boyfriend the entire time.
Simply put, she only got close to Jiangbei for his money.
Upon discovering she had a boyfriend, Jiangbei went to confront her.
He could never forget the words Ye Churan said to him.
"Jiangbei, I've always only considered you a friend, and I've never had any other intentions."
"Did I do something wrong and led you to misunderstand? I'm sorry, I'll change!"
"But I really didn't know that you liked me. If I had known, I would have told you about my boyfriend earlier, I apologize."
Damn it!
Thinking back on it now, it still boils Jiangbei's blood.
Yet he actually forgave her at that time?
It's far from over.
Years later, only after he went bankrupt in Jiangbei did he come to know.
Why did Ye Churan suddenly barge into his life?
It was all a plot by his "good brother", Zhou Liang.
It was Zhou Liang who had told Ye Churan to do so, claiming that Jiangbei was easy to fool—A person with more money than sense!
Speaking of Zhou Liang.
Jiangbei's eyes would almost spit fire.
He treated Zhou Liang like his real brother—nearly supporting him throughout four years of college, even gave him his meager savings to start a business after graduation.
He gave all sorts of help in Zhou Liang's career, introducing him to resources and connections, which ultimately led Zhou Liang to success.
This ungrateful cur not only didn't show any gratitude, but when Jiangbei was bankrupt and only seeking to recover his hundred thousand, Zhou Liang shamelessly claimed that he never asked for it, rather it was Jiangbei who gave it willingly.
In the end, he has the audacity to throw two hundred bucks in Jiangbei's face, telling him to never see him again!
He was nothing less than a beast!
With a wry smile, Jiangbei thought that fate was giving him a second chance at life.
This "good brother" of his, naturally needs to be properly thanked!
At this moment, Ye Churan nudged Jiangbei's arm in agitation, "Hey, Jiangbei, why aren't you saying anything?"
She was getting a bit impatient. Why was Jiangbei so slow to react today?
She had had her eyes on this bag for some time and had been waiting for Jiangbei to pay!
After all, his family was so rich, it did not matter where he spent his money, right? It wouldn’t hurt him if he spent it on her!
Humph, this Jiangbei was indeed as Zhou Liang had described.
Rich and foolish!
Jiangbei snapped back to reality, took another look at Ye Churan.
Needless to say, Ye Churan was certainly beautiful. Zhou Liang's sister, Zhou Ting, was the school beauty, hence, the best friend of the school beauty was naturally not lagging behind.
Her slender, snowy legs were eye captivating under her pleated mini skirt. The pristine white blouse added an innocent touch. Her finely proportioned figure, delicate features, and slightly moist rosy lips were enticing; she was a genuine beauty!
Sadly, one cannot judge a book by its cover!
Jiangbei didn't directly confront her, instead, he decided to play along slowly.
Still thinking of reaping a fortune at his expense? Keep dreaming!
Jiangbei pulled a pained expression and asked, "Senior, we have hung out so many times, what exactly is our relationship?"
"I've spent quite a bit of money on you, but I feel that you don't even like me. I don’t see any hope."
Upon hearing this, Ye Churan nonchalantly played with her hair, enlightening, "Junior, as I have told you, I'm the type who takes time to warm up…”
"You know, I fancy those who persist and have long-lasting affections. If I were to date, I'd want to marry my first love."
"Moreover, your family is so wealthy, you aren't even willing to spend a bit on me. It just goes to show that you don't really like me at all."
Ye Churan was brimming with confidence. Jiang Bei had asked her this question more than once and every time, she was able to handle him easily.
This time would not be any different!
Jiang Bei chuckled internally, was she trying to morally kidnap him now?
He was rich, but was he obliged to spend on her?
Who did Ye Churan think she was?
He could find any woman to spend that money on, why Ye Churan?
Did she have the audacity to say that she warms up slowly, likes long-lasting affections, and would marry her first love?
She surely had no sense of shame at all!
Jiang Bei sighed and said, "I never thought that after everything I've done for you, you still think I don't like you. Fine, if that's the case, let's call it quits. I'm just not good enough for you."
Without any hesitation, Jiang Bei turned around and walked away.
Seeing Jiang Bei actually leaving, Ye Churan quickly grabbed his arm and said, "Wait, Jiang Bei..."
Jiang Bei was feeling rather smug internally.
He knew Ye Churan wouldn't let him, the easy target, walk away so easily.
This time, let's see how he handles Ye Churan!
But on the surface, he spoke somewhat impatiently, "Senior Sister, is there anything else?"
Ye Churan lowered her head slightly, gently biting her soft pink lips, and said in a wronged tone, "Junior Brother, can you give me a little more time? I, I need to think about it properly."
In her heart though, she was cursing Jiang Bei as a damn fool.
'This guy, what happened to him today? He actually wants to end things with me?'
Jiang Bei laughed and said, "That's not a problem, I'm not in a hurry."
Ye Churan let out a sigh of relief. At least she managed to keep Jiang Bei in check for now. She couldn't care less about anything else; she had to secure the bag first!
With a pretense of modesty, Ye Churan said, "Then, Junior Brother, about this bag..."
Jiang Bei, as clear as day in his heart, vaguely replied, "It's no big deal. I'll get it for you if you like it. It's just fifty thousand, after all."
A spark of joy flashed through Ye Churan's eyes.
Humph.
Jiang Bei is still the same old Jiang Bei, unchanged!
But this guy is genuinely rich, not even batting an eye at spending fifty thousand...
Suddenly, Jiang Bei changed the topic, "But, Senior Sister, you have to give me a little sweetness in return, give me some hope!"
Ye Churan was taken aback, "What sweetness?"
Jiang Bei pointed to his face, "Senior sister, give me a kiss."
"What?" Ye Churan was surprised, then instantly showed shyness, "This, no, no. How can you be like this!"
Jiang Bei shrugged, indifferently saying, "If that can't be done, then forget it."
"Alas, there is no progress bar, how do you expect me to hang in there, senior sister?"
"Forget it, I might as well go back to my nightclub."
Jiang Bei turned around to leave again.
Ye Churan stopped him yet again, "Wait!"
Jiang Bei gave a devilishly enticing smile.
Ha-ha, isn't this just right in my hands?
