Jiang Xu was relieved. His family was wealthy and supported him; he could make money however he wanted.

The Jiang family villa was very large. After wandering around the villa and finding nothing else to do, he went shopping.

Jiang Xu and Gu Li joked about aesthetics yesterday, but in fact, they both have very good taste.

When he returned to his dormitory from the mall, he was carrying several bags, all brand-name and exuding an air of money and extravagant pleasure.

The books in front of the dormitory door were still in their original places. Jiang Xu's good mood continued. He knocked on the door three times and then said, "I bought you some things, don't you want them?"

The chair inside the door was dragged on the floor, and that was about it; Jiang Xu's mood soured a little.

He lowered his voice and said quickly, "I bought that watch. Gu Li should like it."

That watch? Wang Bing suddenly found his phone less appealing.

Jiang Xu cast out the bait, waited two seconds, then raised his voice and said, "Some more will be delivered to the stores later..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the door was flung open. Wang Bing stared intently at the pile of things in his hands. Jiang Xu picked up the exquisite bag, shook it, and then waved his hand, signaling for people to move aside.

As Wang Bing moved along with him, Jiang Xu sighed, "See? See? None of these are for you."

He strolled over and sat down. Wang Bing's footsteps rose and fell, but they didn't affect Jiang Xu's disassembly at all; he had indeed bought a watch.

I did intend to give it to Gu Li. Since I just mentioned it, consider it a reward for Gu Li's pleasant "Brother Xu".

Jiang Xu knew that Gu Li was not short of money, but for some reason he also felt that Gu Li would accept it. Was this a sign of confidence in someone he had just met?

He couldn't figure it out, but he planned to do whatever he wanted to do.

Wang Bing began to get anxious. He saw the box; it was the watch he had previously mentioned he intended to force Jiang Xu to buy. Now that Jiang Xu had bought it, why wasn't he being given it to him?

His nerves suddenly clicked; this kid had just mentioned Gu Li, and he was planning to give his watch to Gu Li! How could he do that? That was his own thing.

Wang Bing immediately spoke up anxiously, "Jiang Xu, give me my watch!"

Liu Xian and Zhao Rangwen were speechless. What on earth was this?

Jiang Xu picked up the watch box without his hand trembling, and deftly placed it in a spot further inside. "What's yours?"

Wang Bing: "That's the watch I mentioned to you before!"

"So?" Jiang Xu opened the next box. "You mentioned it, and I really liked it, so I bought it. Is there a problem?"

"Shouldn't you give it to me? You used to..." Wang Bing paused. He used to give it away for free, but would Jiang Xu do that now?

"It's not that I can't give it to you." Jiang Xu turned around to save face, no longer speaking with his back to the person.

"Hmm?" Wang Bing was more sober than before. "What are your requirements?"

Jiang Xu said, "You've gotten smarter, haven't you? Not bad. Following smart people really does help you develop a brain that you don't have." He looked at Wang Bing with admiration, but in reality, he was praising himself. "Give me the money, give me 3 million, and I'll give you the same one."

Wang Bing blurted out, "That was clearly only 300,000 yuan, and you've multiplied it tenfold! You're robbing people!"

“So you knew,” Jiang Xu looked up at the person with utter contempt. “Do you want me to give you money for free? You’re the one who looks like a victim.”

Wang Bing was so angry he didn't know what to say; all he could do was stomp his feet.

Jiang Xu continued, "I remember I spent a lot of money on you guys, so we can't just let it go like this. Friends should give and take, so I'll pay you back slowly one by one later."

Jiang Xu thought for a moment, then extended his index finger, first pointing at Wang Bing, "You're 100," then at Liu Xian, "You're 50," and finally at Zhao Rangwen, "You're 20." After saying this, he withdrew his hand and gently patted it to draw the attention of the three people.

"I don't need to explain what the company is. This is after the discount. If you're not satisfied," Jiang Xu held up his phone, "I don't mind the police getting involved. Large-scale theft is a serious crime."

“Those were clearly given to us by you, how can it be considered stealing!” Wang Bing could produce that money, but he wasn’t going to give it away for nothing.

Liu Xian: "Yes, that's at most... a voluntary gift."

"Do you have any evidence?" Jiang Xu's question left the other two speechless, and his next sentence was even more so: "But I can prove that those things are mine. I'm a meticulous person and like to keep things. I have all the invoices and recordings."

Wang Bing: "You're talking nonsense, how could you possibly have those?"

Jiang Xu didn't say anything more. He looked down and fiddled with his phone for a bit, and then the microphone immediately picked up, "Jiang Xu, give me my watch!" The recording played back line by line, clearly showing the conversation between the two of them. When it was almost over, Jiang Xu paused it. "Want to hear or see anything else? I have plenty here."

In fact, Jiang Xu had nothing left, but he remained calm as if he had everything, and these were just minor incidents.

Upon hearing this, Wang Bing took a step back, his face paling considerably. He then turned to look in Zhao Rangwen's direction, "Didn't you say you destroyed them all? Didn't you say you had everything sorted out? What's going on? Why does he still have these things?"

"I...I...What did you say?" Zhao Rangwen panicked. He quickly tried to recall what he had said. No, he couldn't wait any longer. He had to stand on Jiang Xu's side to protect himself. Tears welled up in his eyes. "Jiang Xu, I...I don't know what he's saying. It's good...it's good that you didn't lose your evidence. This time...this time I will definitely stand on your side. I will definitely help you tell the teachers and classmates."

"Oh? This time definitely? You should remember very well when you weren't on my side. People should stick to their choices." Jiang Xu's words were cold. "Besides... once someone trusts you, they'll trust you again."

Zhao Rangwen's expression grew increasingly panicked. He was caught in the middle, thinking that if he said this to Jiang Xu in front of those two people, the other party would most likely accept him, but the other party had no intention of doing so at all.

Gray slowly appeared in the underside of his eyes.

Jiang Xu changed the subject, "But if you give me something, it's not impossible for me to give you a chance, is it?" He said this with a smile, looking sincere and easy to believe.

"What is that?" Zhao Rangwen stepped forward immediately, as if he had seen a spark of hope.

"The key." Jiang Xu only said those two words.

Wang Bing was a little confused. "What is that? What good stuff could a poor kid like him have?"

Liu Xian also looked at Zhao Rangwen, "Yeah, what could he possibly have?"

Only Zhao Rangwen knew what Jiang Xu was talking about, and his expression grew increasingly grim. "Jiang Xu, explain yourself more clearly, I don't quite understand."

“Only you can understand this,” Jiang Xu sighed. “Give me back my dorm key. You hid it, didn’t you?”
