Chapter 85 The Beautiful, Gold-Digging School Beauty—Why Did You Repeat It?
Yao Yao wanted to eat the garlic-fried fish from the cafeteria, so the two of them immediately decided to go back to school for dinner.
The two rode their bikes side by side, with Xiao Yanzhi on the outside, protecting Yao Yao while a smile never left his lips.
Yao Yao couldn't bear to look at his silly grin.
The bicycle stopped at the entrance of the cafeteria, and Xiao Yanzhi naturally stepped forward and took Yaoyao's small hand, and the two walked up the steps together.
Baidu Tieba is bustling again!
Breaking news! They're holding hands! The school beauty and Captain Xiao are officially dating!
[The progress is so fast! As expected of Captain Xiao!]
[Is it fast? In my mind, the two of them are already communicating in bed!]
[Upstairs, you've gone more than just one step ahead!]
[Look at Captain Xiao's smile in the photo! Hahaha, I feel like he looks like the silly son of a rich man.]
[Listen upstairs, you've crossed the line! How dare you speak my mind like that!]
Haha, you guys are hilarious!
...
Jiang Chen couldn't stand it anymore and smashed his phone against the wall.
The revelations on Baidu Tieba this morning have plunged his life into dire straits.
All day long, Jiang Chen's complexion was not good, his eyes were gloomy, and his whole demeanor changed from cold and aloof to gloomy.
During the day, he has to go to class.
Most people wouldn't bother asking Jiang Chen about his car and background; they might talk a lot of nonsense online, but they tend to be much more restrained in real life.
But there are always some people who have no scruples and walk right up to the person in question, asking directly, "Jiang Shen, are you really a rich second-generation?"
Real? What is real? And what is fake?
Jiang Chen thought back to his senior year of high school, when his father, whom he had always thought was all-powerful, turned out to be someone else's legal husband, while he was seen as an illegitimate child!
He was kept in the dark for seventeen years; what he thought was real was actually a staged deception!
Jiang Chen's tone was frighteningly low: "So what if it is? So what if it isn't? I can create my own games and sell the copyrights for hundreds of thousands. Can you do that?"
"As expected of Jiang Shen, we admire him! Then I'd like to ask Jiang Shen, how many games do you need to create to buy a G-Wagon?"
The topic was brought back to the beginning. When Jiang Chen heard the last sentence, his face turned so dark it looked like ink could drip from it. He didn't say a word and left without looking back.
The words "G-Wagon!" kept echoing in Jiang Chen's mind.
He was furious but powerless to do anything about it.
His thoughts returned to that day when his first game was created. Initially, Jiang Chen wanted to attract investment and establish a game company, but as a nobody, his voice carried little weight, and many investors were not optimistic about the game.
Later, Jiang Chen decided to sell the game. It was on his way to a game company that he met Xiao Yanzhi, who was driving. It was then that Jiang Chen realized that his roommate, whom he rarely saw, was a super rich second-generation.
It would be a lie to say he wasn't upset at that moment. Considering his background, Jiang Chen could only swallow his bitterness.
Later, in order to sell the game for a good price, he asked Xiao Yanzhi to borrow his car, and Xiao Yanzhi readily agreed.
As expected, when he no longer walked into the company gate but drove in a luxury car, everyone looked at him with new respect, and he received the price they had been hoping for.
That day, Jiang Chen knew that Xiao Yanzhi would not be returning to school, so he asked Jiang Chen to park the car in a parking space not far from the school and wait for him to come back before driving it away.
The matter went smoothly, but Jiang Chen was not as happy as he had imagined. He drove the car into the campus as if possessed.
Without a vehicle access pass, Jiang Chen was not allowed to drive his car in. However, by showing his student ID and leaving his contact number, he lied and said he was going in to move some things and would be out soon. Only then did the security guard let him in.
Only when he saw a familiar face pass by did Jiang Chen get out of the car naturally, pretending to bump into a classmate.
Everything unfolded as he had predicted, and things went more smoothly than he had imagined.
The illusion he deliberately created garnered envious glances, greatly satisfying his vanity.
When his dreamlike illusion was shattered, he once again captured everyone's attention, but this time, those gazes were filled with disdain and contempt.
Not wanting to see those gazes anymore, and even less wanting to see his roommate's undisguised suspicious scrutiny, Jiang Chen fled in panic, went to the supermarket, bought a bag of canned beer, and then went to the hotel to book a room.
The quiet space finally gave him a chance to catch his breath. He kept drinking the beer he had bought, trying to numb his mind with alcohol.
I wish that when I wake up, all the bad things in my life will disappear.
The photos on his phone still lingered vividly in his mind. The two of them were holding hands and smiling at each other, but Jiang Chen felt that the smiles were mocking him!
The phone that had fallen to the ground broke the silence of the room. Jiang Chen glanced at it indifferently and did not get up.
The ringing stopped automatically, and after a few seconds, the phone rang again. This cycle repeated itself, stopping and starting.
The person on the other end kept making calls relentlessly.
Jiang Chen guessed who was on the other end.
The phone rang again. Jiang Chen got up, slowly walked to the phone, bent down to pick it up, and Xu Shuangshuang's name came into view.
"Jiang Chen, are you alright? Where are you? I'm so scared! Don't do anything foolish! Those people are crazy, this must have been premeditated! Maybe it was your father's wife who hired someone to spread rumors about you! Otherwise, how would anyone know about your background? She just wants to drag you into this mess! You mustn't fall for her tricks!"
"I know you didn't want this either. Your birth wasn't something you could decide. Why should you bear the burden of the previous generation's affairs?"
Xu Shuangshuang was very emotional. As soon as the call connected, she couldn't help but talk for a long time. As she talked, she broke down in tears.
Jiang Chen stood there listening without moving, his heart unmoved. He only asked Xu Shuangshuang across from him one question: "Xu Shuangshuang, why did you choose to repeat the reading?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Shuangshuang froze for a few seconds, her crying ceasing. She took a deep breath and said, "Because I like you."
“Jiang Chen, I can’t forget you. Every second I don’t see you makes me feel terrible. I can’t bear the days without you by my side.”
Jiang Chen: "I'm at the Xinghe Hotel, room 1205."
