"Jiang Bei, my junior, you say that you like me, but you are so rich, can't you even afford to buy me a bag?"
A delightful female voice rang in Jiang Bei's ear.
Jiang Bei's body jolted violently, and he looked around in surprise, finding himself at a shopping mall.
Seeing the beautiful girl next to him who had just spoken, he was taken aback, and incredulously said, "Ye Churan, why are you here..."
Ye Churan assumed that Jiang Bei didn't want to buy her a bag, so she pouted deliberately, pretending to be sulky, "What! Aren't you calling me your senior? Do you dislike me? If you dislike me, don't ask me out!"
Jiang Bei paused for five seconds before finally responding.
He had been reborn!
It was his first year in university!
He was originally the son of a wealthy family, but he declared bankruptcy after a failed start-up.
He sought help from those who had helped him in the past.
He thought he would easily overcome the crisis, but instead of help, he was met with various forms of humiliation!
In the end, he jumped off a building in despair.
The youthful and beautiful girl in front of him, wearing a schoolgirl's pleated skirt.
She was Ye Churan, a close friend of Jiang Bei's brother Zhou Liang's sister in his previous life.
She seemed pure and sweet on the surface, but in reality, she was as cunning as a box of monkeys, she didn't like Jiang Bei at all, she just wanted to catch his fish.
In the beginning, Jiang Bei mysteriously found himself wildly smitten with Ye Chu Ran.
In just a few short months, he had spent nearly two hundred thousand on her.
Believe it or not!
But even then, Ye Chu Ran did not return his feelings, keeping Jiang Bei firmly under her control.
What was even more outrageous,
Ye Chu Ran had a boyfriend all along.
In plain words, she had only ever approached Jiang Bei for his money.
Finally, when Jiang Bei found out about her boyfriend, he confronted her.
He would never forget the words Ye Chu Ran had said to him.
"Jiang Bei, I've always seen you as a friend and nothing more."
"Did I do something wrong to make you misunderstand? I'm sorry, I'll correct it!"
"But I really didn't know you had feelings for me, if I had known I would have told you about my boyfriend. I apologize."
To hell with you!
Just thinking about it was enough to build up a fiery indignation in Jiang Bei.
But to think that he had actually forgiven her back then?
It’s not over yet.
Several years later, only after his bankruptcy in Jiangbei did he learn.
Why did Ye Churan suddenly barge into his life?
It was all a scheme plotted by his good brother, Zhou Liang.
Zhou Liang persuaded Ye Churan to do so, claiming that Jiangbei was easy to deceive, a fool with loads of money!
Speaking of Zhou Liang.
Jiangbei was downright fiery-eyed.
He treated Zhou Liang like a real brother, practically supporting him for four years through college, and even generously gave him his remaining meager savings for his start-up after graduation.
In business, he also helped him in every way possible, introducing resources and personal contacts to him. In the end, Zhou Liang became mighty and successful.
This ungrateful wretch didn't even appreciate all that. After Jiangbei went bankrupt, all he wanted was to get back that hundred thousand.
But to his dismay, Zhou Liang showed extreme ingratitude, shamelessly saying that he didn't ask Jiangbei for the money, it was Jiangbei who gave it to him voluntarily.
In the end, he tossed two hundred smackeros in front of Jiangbei, telling him not to bother him again!
He's simply a beast!
Jiangbei sneered, now that God had given him another chance to live.
His "good brother", of course, deserved a good payback!
At this moment, Ye Churan nudged Jiang Bei's arm impatiently, "Hey, Jiang Bei, say something!"
She was becoming a bit anxious. Why was Jiang Bei reacting so slowly today?
She had her eyes set on that bag for a long time, just waiting for Jiang Bei to foot the bill!
After all, his family was rich – what did it matter where he spent his money? Spending it on her wouldn't make a difference!
Hmph, Jiang Bei really was as Zhou Liang said.
A fool with money!
Jiang Bei finally came back to his senses and looked again at Ye Churan.
It had to be said, Ye Churan really was beautiful. Zhou Liang's sister, Zhou Ting, was the school's beauty, so naturally, her best friend wouldn't be any worse.
The pair of long, fair legs beneath her pleated skirt were truly eye-catching, and her small white blouse added a touch of innocence. She had a great figure, delicate features, and her lips were pink and moist – very enticing. She was exquisite!
Unfortunately, appearances could be deceiving!
Jiang Bei didn't explode in anger instantly, he planned to bide his time with her.
Thinking of treating him like a cash cow? Keep dreaming!
Jiang Bei made a painful expression and said, "Senior sister, we have hung out quite a few times now. What's the nature of our relationship?"
"I've spent quite a lot on you, but I feel that you don't even like me. I can't see any hope."
On hearing this, Ye Churan brushed her hair aside and calmly replied, "Junior brother, as I've told you, I'm a slow warmer..."
"You know, I prefer the type who are persistent and show great affection. If I'm to fall in love, I'd like to marry my first love."
"Besides, your family is so wealthy. You are reluctant even to spend a little on me; I suppose you must not like me at all."
Ye Churan was brimming with confidence. Jiang Bei had asked this question not just once, and each time, she had him completely under her control.
This time wouldn't be any different!
Jiang Bei scoffed internally. So she's now resorting to moral blackmail?
Sure, he had money, but was he obliged to spend it on her?
What exactly was her place to demand such?
Spend all that money on her, what kind of woman couldn't Jiang Bei find?
And she had the nerve to claim that she's slow in affection and prefers long-lasting relationships and would marry her first love?
Really giving up all her poise!
Jiang Bei sighed, "I didn't expect that after putting in so much, you still think I don't like you. Alright, it seems like I'm not good enough for you, senior. Let's end things here."
Jiang Bei turned to walk away, with no signs of hesitation.
Seeing Jiang Bei actually walking away, Ye Churan hurriedly grabbed his arm, "Don't, Jiang Bei..."
Jiang Bei felt triumphant internally.
He knew that Ye Churan wasn't going to let go of him, her big and convenient scapegoat.
This time, let's see how he handles Ye Churan!
On the surface, however, he replied impatiently, "Senior, is there anything else going on?"
Ye Churan slightly lowered her head, softly biting her delicate lips, and pleaded, "Junior, can you give me a little more time? I... I need to give it some thought."
Inwardly, she was cursing Jiang Bei to high heavens.
'This guy, what got into him today? He really wants to end things with me?'
Jiang Bei laughed and said, "That's fine. I'm in no rush."
Ye Churan breathed a sigh of relief. Finally got Jiang Bei under control. Regardless of anything else, first secure the bag!
Feigning innocence, Ye Churan asked, "So, Junior... about this bag..."
Jiang Bei, clear as a mirror inside, vaguely said, "That’s no problem. If you like it, Senior, I'll gift it to you. It's just fifty thousand, after all."
Ye Churan's heart leaped.
Hmph.
Jiang Bei is still the same old Jiang Bei, never changes!
Although, this man is truly wealthy, flaunting fifty thousand as if it’s nothing…
Suddenly, Jiang Bei's tone shifted, "However, Senior, you need to give me a taste of sweetness. Give me a hint of hope!"
Ye Churan was taken aback, "What kind of sweetness?"
Jiang Bei pointed at his own face, "Senior, could you give me a kiss?"
"Eh?" Ye Chu Ran was shocked, her face turning shy, "No, no, that can't be. How could we do that!"
Jiang Bei shrugged, nonchalantly saying, "If you say so, then forget about it."
"Sigh, there's no progress bar, how do you expect me to keep going, senior?"
"Never mind, I'll just go back to my nightclub."
Jiang Bei turned around to leave once again.
Ye Chu Ran once again stopped Jiang Bei, "Wait!"
Jiang Bei flashed a roguish smirk.
Hehe, isn't he just playing her like fiddle?
......
