Downstairs in the men's dormitory building.
Chu Jiangyi, Xiao Zhebin, Qiu Bojie, and Wen Jincheng walked downstairs arm in arm, laughing and joking, until an uninvited guest came into view, and their smiles stopped.
Upon seeing Chu Jiangyi, Sun Qing lunged at him, while the other three retreated several steps.
Xiao Zhebin frowned and scolded, "Are you trying to scam me!"
"Excuse me, I have something urgent to discuss with Chu Jiangyi. Would it be convenient for us to talk in private?"
The other three, with knowing expressions, all stepped aside.
Xiao Zhebin whispered in Chu Jiangyi's ear, "Be careful, don't let her scheme against you. Beautiful women are always dangerous."
Chu Jiang scoffed, "How much danger could a girl possibly be in? You're worrying unnecessarily!"
"Those who don't heed the advice of their elders will suffer the consequences!"
"You're asking for it! You're trying to take advantage of me. I'm several months older than you, I'm the older brother!"
"Brother! Being entangled with the school beauty is not a good thing. Good luck."
Chu Jiangyi had an indescribable expression on his face. "Stop being disgusting. Why use such a repetitive word?"
Chu Jiang also got goosebumps all over.
"Get out!"
Xiao Zhebin left reluctantly.
Before leaving, he gave Sun Qing a meaningful look.
Seeing that everyone had left, Sun Qing stepped forward, revealing what she considered a charming smile, "Shall we talk as we walk? Class is about to start."
Although Chu Jiangyi was quite helpless, he had no choice but to agree to her request, since class was about to start.
He actually had his own concerns. After all, the two of them were practically strangers now, and going to the classroom together would definitely arouse the gossip of their classmates.
He didn't want any gossip to get between him and Sun Qing, or Xi Ran would misunderstand and it would be disastrous, making his pursuit of her a long and arduous journey.
Chu Jiang was also very troubled and said frankly.
What do you want to talk about?
Sun Qing pursed her lips, unsure how to begin.
He had memorized all the lines, but now he had forgotten them all. Frustrated, he patted his head and tried hard to recall what the first line was.
"It's about that... uh... what you have on hand..."
Seeing that Sun Qing was too embarrassed to speak, Chu Jiang roughly knew what she wanted to do and directly refused.
"I have no money! Your parents received a million from Chen Yang, not a hundred dollars. I can't help you!"
Sun Qing looked at Chu Jiangyi in disbelief. She hadn't expected him to state the purpose of her trip so directly and reject her request so firmly. This was something she hadn't anticipated.
She thought that since it was the first time she had asked Chu Jiangyi for a loan, he wouldn't refuse. After all, Chu Jiangyi was the heir of the Chu Group, and a mere million was nothing to him.
Is he unwilling to help her with even this small favor?
She had already planned before she came to borrow money: first, she would take the money from Chu Jiangyi's family to pay back Chen Yang, then she could leave Chen Yang's control and return to being single.
Once she's single again and pursues Chu Jiangyi once more, if she wins him over and becomes his girlfriend, she won't have to pay back the million-plus yuan. She'll also become the girlfriend of the heir to the Chu Group, and enjoy endless wealth and luxury in the future.
The plan fell apart before it could even be implemented, which made her very unwilling, she said pitifully.
"Why are you unwilling to help me? One million is just a small amount of money to your Chu family. After so many years of friendship, you can't even help me with this small favor?"
Chu Jiang said helplessly, "It's not that I'm unwilling to help you, but my allowance is fixed every month, not a penny more. My parents are quite stingy when it comes to pocket money. You know how much my monthly allowance is? It hasn't increased by a single cent in all these years."
Sun Qing muttered to herself, "Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
Sun Qing looked directly at Chu Jiangyi with pleading eyes.
"Aren't you just pretending to be poor? You don't want too many people to know your true identity and cause unnecessary trouble, so you've been pretending to be poor for so many years."
Chu Jiang sighed, Sun Qing's imagination was too rich. "It's not what you think. I'm not pretending to be poor. I've always been poor. It's true that my parents are the founders of the Chu Group. They have a lot of assets, but they are very stingy with their children."
