Chapter 34 She said you cheated me out of 800,000
Zhang Kai took them upstairs, and there were many people standing in the old man's room.
The old man was very curious about Zhou Zhou when he first met her, and they chatted for a while. However, there were many guests today, and people came in from time to time to celebrate her birthday. Zhou Zhou didn't interrupt too much, just gave her a gift and said a few words of blessing before leaving.
When he reached the stairs, a waiter called Zhang Kai: "Young Master, the master is looking for you."
Zhang Kai responded, looked around and didn't see Chen Yiyang and the others, so he said to Zhou Zhou, "My dad is looking for me, I'm going over there. Eat something first, I'll come find you later."
Zhou Zhou said sympathetically, "It's okay, don't worry about me, I won't get lost."
Today is Mr. Zhang’s birthday. It is normal for Zhang Kai to be busy as the host. He can’t always be there to take care of her, a guest, alone.
Zhang Kai didn't hesitate and asked someone to take Zhou Zhou out to eat.
Mr. Zhang’s 70th birthday party was not only beautifully presented, but the food on the long table was also exquisite and delicious.
When people walked to the side, they smelled the food and became greedy and a little hungry.
Zhou Zhou glanced sideways but didn't see any of them. He thought they must have gone somewhere to play.
This kind of birthday party, in other words, is another form of social interaction between upper-class politicians. When these young people want to have some fun in their spare time, they have to get together to have fun.
She planned to eat something and then go find someone.
She was holding a pair of tongs and looking at the food around the table while someone was talking next to her.
"Oh my god... this necklace of yours was auctioned off a few months ago, right? I heard an unknown tycoon spent 200 million on it. So it's your father?"
"Yeah, my dad took this photo while he was discussing business. It looks good, right?"
"You took this photo? Your family is really rich."
"No, not really. I'm your only daughter, so naturally he spoils me with everything and wants to give me good things when he sees them."
Envious voices came into Zhou Zhou's ears from time to time.
This kind of sound happens every moment.
Rich ladies always like to have a few supporting figures around them. If you occasionally give them some benefits, you can enjoy their flattery all the time. This is a win-win situation for everyone.
Zhou Zhou was not curious and ate the food on the plate slowly.
She wasn't curious, their conversation suddenly turned to her.
"Hey, isn't that Zhou Zhou?"
Zhou Zhou turned around subconsciously when he heard his own name.
Apart from her childhood friend Chen Yiyang, she had no other acquaintances in Beijing. Among the new people she had met recently, there were no girls.
She turned her head and saw one of the faces was vaguely familiar, but she couldn't place it for a moment.
The woman wearing the jewel necklace confirmed it was her, and her pupils shrank: "Zhou Zhou, it's really you!"
"Qingqing, who is she?"
"A con man in the American study abroad community. Just like I told you before, someone was crying thief, saying I stole her bags and jewelry worth 800,000 yuan."
"Ah, that liar who took 800,000 yuan from you with nothing, relying on a mouthful of lies?"
"That's her! If I didn't want to argue with her, I wouldn't have given her the money. Instead, she boasted about it in the study abroad group. I didn't expect to meet her here!"
"But today is Mr. Zhang's birthday party, how can we let a liar in?"
"Didn't you invite me here too? Who knows who she followed!" Qingqing looked at her, indignant, "Zhou Zhou, can't you make it in America? How dare you come to Beijing and scam people!"
The two of them spoke louder and louder, attracting the attention of people nearby.
Zhou Zhou listened to their conversation and finally found the person she had only met for half a month among her many memories - the scammer in the study abroad circle she had just met when she went to the United States.
She had just arrived in the United States and was unfamiliar with the place. She wanted to find a Chinese student who was also studying abroad to share a house with her, so she met Sun Qingqing online.
Sun Qingqing is an extrovert, and she told me almost everything about her family background after a short conversation.
She is from Shanxi, has a New Zealand green card, her parents are in the coal mining business, and she has one million in pocket money a month. She wants to find a roommate with similar conditions to her.
Her explanation for this is that they share the same ideals because their conditions are similar.
Zhou Zhou didn't think much about it at the time and thought it made sense.
After just a week of living together, Zhou Zhou discovered she was missing two bracelets. At first, she didn't suspect Sun Qingqing was wearing them, thinking she'd misplaced them. But then she got bolder and started taking things from her bag.
Zhou Zhou caught her stealing something, but she was still young at the time, so he asked her to return the things in order to keep the peace. However, when Sun Qingqing woke up, she ran away overnight.
Zhou Zhou was no pushover, and immediately sent a warning to many overseas study groups. The American study abroad community wasn't big, but it wasn't small either, and someone quickly recognized Sun Qingqing.
When Sun Qingqing was exposed, she denied stealing anything and accused Zhou Zhou of being the thief.
She took screenshots of some of the two people's records and circled the one that specifically emphasized that she wanted to find a roommate with similar conditions.
She cried in the group, saying that Zhou Zhou had clearly deceived her, saying that a poor student who came to the United States to study and work part-time was pretending to be rich. She also said that she had good intentions and did not expose him, but she did not expect Zhou Zhou to really think she was rich.
In the eyes of others, she is just like the persona she created - the daughter of a coal boss, who is not short of money.
Zhou Zhou didn't know how she maintained her persona, she only knew that no one knew about her deceptive behavior, as if she had only stolen her things.
She did not flaunt her wealth in the overseas study circle, but instead became a bargaining chip for Sun Qingqing to belittle her, and no one believed her evidence.
It was at this time that Sun Qingqing suddenly transferred the money to her.
Of course, she told others that she didn't intend to make a fuss and would just spend some money to settle the matter, acting very calm and generous.
After receiving the money, Zhou Zhou was not the type to push her any further. He thought that a big thing could be made into a small one, and besides, if things went on like this for a long time, someone would find out. So he took the money and left her alone.
Unexpectedly, four years later, Sun Qingqing is still cultivating her image as the daughter of a coal boss and a wealthy family.
Zhou Zhou put down the plate and walked up to them: "Are you trying to scam me?"
"Isn't it?" Sun Qingqing said arrogantly, "If you don't want others to know, then don't do it yourself! You cheated me out of 800,000 yuan with your sweet talk. Don't you have any shame at all?"
She doesn't worry about how rich Zhou Zhou is.
If she had money, her bags and jewelry wouldn't all cost tens of thousands of yuan. When she mocked her part-time job in the group, she could swallow her anger and didn't produce any evidence of her wealth.
A little money is nothing to be afraid of.
Sun Qingqing felt a little angry when she thought of the 800,000 yuan.
If she hadn't been frantically forwarding news about herself in the group, causing many people to ask her questions, she wouldn't have had to pay 800,000 yuan to "prove her innocence."
"That's right. Qingqing's father bought her a necklace worth 200 million yuan. Is it necessary for him to use all your things that only cost a few hundred thousand yuan in total?" The girl in the white dress next to her looked at her with contempt and couldn't help but agree.
Sun Qingqing touched the necklace around her neck, remaining calm.
The two of them sang in unison, and the people around them also followed suit and talked.
They didn't know Zhou Zhou, nor did they know the woman wearing the necklace, but some of them knew the girl in the white dress.
Eight hundred thousand is a small amount of money for everyone present today.
"That's amazing." A soft sigh came from the side.
Zhou Zhou looked in the direction of the voice and met a teasing gaze.
Cheng Yu stood behind her, taking in the entire excitement. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and he watched the show with ill intent. "Little liar, she said you cheated her out of 800,000 yuan."
