Chapter 9 Gossip about the Richest Man
"I know you don't know me, so I thought we could get to know each other. We don't have to be boyfriend and girlfriend, we can just be friends first..." He was a little surprised, obviously not expecting me to refuse so bluntly.
As the male god of the finance department, he has always been the one who rejects others.
I laughed at myself: "I didn't know that the male god of the Finance Department would notice me, but since you said so, we are all classmates, and it's okay to get to know each other. No need for roses, thank you for your kindness." I always can't bear to refuse other people's kindness too harshly, but I really didn't expect Zhang Youming to be interested in me.
He was visibly relieved. "Actually, there are quite a few boys interested in you, but when you first entered university, Liang Zicheng spread the news that you were his childhood sweetheart and fiancée. He also said that his parents had given you both your living expenses. So everyone thought your relationship had reached that point, so they gave up on you."
I laughed in anger, "How come I didn't know he had spread such news?"
Zhang Youming looked at me strangely, "Don't you know? Everyone in the boys' dormitory upstairs knows about it, and it's even spread to our building."
Our building has double dormitories, half for boys and half for girls. It is much quieter than the ordinary dormitories above.
"Are you two just going to stand here and chat? I'm starving." Huang Tianyi shouted sarcastically from the side.
"I'm sorry, let me treat you to a meal. You can choose the place. Let's celebrate the beginning of our friendship." Zhang Youming grinned, revealing a row of white teeth.
To be honest, he looks more sunny than Liang Zicheng, with the looks and temperament of a warm man. Liang Zicheng may be due to family connections. Although he is handsome, he always has a gloomy feeling. I should say that my feelings for him are half sympathy and half admiration.
Without waiting for me to refuse, Huang Tianyi agreed immediately and said to me: "Mengmeng, this guy is not short of money. If he is willing to treat us, we can go. At worst, we can treat him back next time."
Hearing this, Zhang Youming smiled even brighter, "Yes, yes, next time you two can take turns treating me back."
We asked for a small private room in the most upscale Japanese restaurant in City A.
Huang Tianyi and I both like this kind of buffet-style Japanese restaurant. It costs 498 yuan per person, and you can eat all kinds of sashimi dishes.
I sat down and was about to place my order when Zhang Youming waved his menu at the waiter and said, "First, give me one of each item on this menu."
I was shocked. Is this how rich people order?
Huang Tianyi was not surprised at all, and just frowned, "I see there are quite a lot of dishes here, can we eat them all?"
Zhang Youming casually sat down cross-legged on the futon and grumbled, "Don't worry, Japanese food portions are small to begin with, and when it's a buffet, the portions are even smaller. You can finish a whole plate in one bite."
We couldn't help laughing when we heard this. It was true. Almost every dish served had only three slices, and each person only had one slice.
Half an hour later, I still wasn't full...
At this time, we had become much more familiar with Zhang Youming, and he had started chatting with me like an old friend.
"Liang Zicheng was blind to give up on you and be with Xiao Tiantian. He thought that since Xiao Tiantian was an only child, she would be able to inherit his father's group in the future. That's basically a dream!" After a few glasses of sake, the male god started to gossip about Xiao Tiantian.
Huang Tianyi's eyes lit up. She loved the secrets and gossip of wealthy families.
"Tell me why this is happening? Does her father have an illegitimate child?" I was also a little curious, but what I was more curious about was how Zhang Youming knew about Xiao Tiantian's family.
Then Zhang Youming continued, "I've never heard of an illegitimate child, but I don't think her father likes her very much. She grew up with her mother. They say she's a member of the Xiao family, but the elders of the Xiao family don't treat her like their own child."
"How did you know?" I asked the question in my heart.
He chuckled, "She and I are relatives, but I'm not familiar with her. We don't interact with each other normally. I only meet her occasionally at banquets."
Huang Tianyi and I were a little surprised. "Are you two related? We've never heard of it."
"Yes, her father is my uncle, so she is my cousin." He stuffed another piece of conch meat into his mouth. "My grandparents don't like her very much. My uncle treats me better than her. I usually pretend not to know her."
Huang Tianyi was a little skeptical, "Your uncle doesn't like her? Then she called and your uncle transferred 120,000 yuan to her?"
"That's because you don't understand my uncle. Giving him money is the easiest thing. Time is the most valuable thing to him, and he only spends his time on people he cares about.
For example, when I was little, my uncle would take me to amusement parks and the beach for vacation, but Xiao Tiantian never had such treatment. He always gave Xiao Tiantian money and asked my aunt to take her shopping.
I didn't know what to say. "So Xiao Tiantian comes from a single-parent family?"
"That's not the case. I haven't heard that my uncle and aunt are divorced, but they haven't lived together since I can remember. They only appear together on important occasions."
Huang Tianyi listened with great interest, "Your uncle sounds a bit... a bit like a scumbag."
Zhang Youming was upset. "How can you say that? My uncle is a very nice person. The whole family dislikes the mother and daughter. There must be a reason." He paused and lowered his voice, "I suspect Xiao Tiantian is not my uncle's biological daughter."
Huang Tianyi was instantly as excited as a cuckold in a melon field. "The richest man in City A is being cuckolded?"
