Chapter 1489: Getting Close to a Rich Man
She almost forgot how good some people were at swallowing gold.
Huo Yao pressed his brows and suddenly regretted not keeping Shangguan Yun’s WeChat in the small dark room.
But it’s not too late to block him now.
So after receiving her message, Shangguan Yun wrote a long paragraph explaining how he had made a lot of money with his intelligence. As soon as he clicked send, it showed "The other party has turned on friend verification, and you are not his (her) friend yet."
Shangguan Yun: “???”

Two days later, Huo Yao went to accept Meng Ying's invitation.
She declined the suggestion of going shopping, and the two met at an afternoon tea restaurant in the city center.
"Sister Yao, you seem to have changed a lot and lost a lot of weight!" Meng Ying finished ordering and waited for the waiter to leave before she made a comment.
Huo Yao raised his eyebrows, his delicate features becoming more restrained now. "Logically speaking, with such a meticulous side of you, you shouldn't fail the course in the first semester?"
When she was browsing her friends circle earlier, she saw a screenshot of Meng Ying's final transcript.
Meng Ying covered her face. She didn't feel anything when she heard these words from her cousin, but when they came from the mouth of a top student, she felt full of shame.
She coughed twice and made an excuse: "Well, failing a course is normal. It's a necessary path for modern college students."
Huo Yao just looked at Meng Ying with a half-smile.
At this time, the waiter brought the teapot, interrupting Meng Ying's embarrassment. She smiled and poured tea into Huo Yao's cup, then started talking about other things.
Meng Ying is always gossipy. Even though they haven't seen each other for a long time, she still has a lot to say, "...Oh, by the way, Sister Yao, do you know which university Lu Xia is attending?"
Huo Yao took a sip of tea. He didn't expect Meng Ying to suddenly mention Lu Xia. After a pause, he asked, "Which university?"
"She was in the same school as me, and she chose the same computer major as me." Meng Ying curled her lips and continued, "But it's strange to say that she transferred to another school after only studying for half a semester."
Huo Yao already knew all this from the information Cheng Ming had checked, so he just nodded and said "hmm".
"It is said that she transferred to an Ivy League school abroad and changed her major. When she left school, she looked so proud."
Meng Ying sighed softly. Thinking of the expression on Lu Xia's face when he met him that day, he still felt it was extremely hypocritical.
Huo Yao raised his eyebrows slightly and commented calmly: "People who can enter the Ivy League school do have the capital to be proud."
"The strange thing is that when she was admitted to S University, her score was at best above average. How could she not be qualified to get in?" Meng Ying said, poking his chin with a finger.
Huo Yao nodded and said nonchalantly: "This is a world of money and power."
"Her Lu family went bankrupt a long time ago. Where did she get the money and power? Unless she is hooking up with a rich man." Meng Ying analyzed.
"Maybe." Huo Yao's voice was a little light.
It is unlikely that she will be able to hook up with a rich man, but considering her experience of having lived two lives, it should not be difficult for her to find another way out.
I just don't know what role she plays now.
Huo Yao's eyelashes drooped slightly and her fingertips stroked the teacup, making it impossible to tell what she was thinking at the moment.
Meng Ying only mentioned Lu Xia for a few words, and then stopped talking about her. Instead, she started gossiping about her relationship issues. "Sister Yao, you don't have a boyfriend yet, right?"
Huo Yao tilted his head and looked at Meng Ying, "Why, do you want to introduce someone to you?"
good evening,
