Chapter 249: Missed Out on a Hundred Million

Zhang Zihua left.

However, the atmosphere in the private room had changed.

Everyone seemed to be holding back, especially the women, who had become more reserved, occasionally glancing at Xu Shaochen.

The men, on the other hand, had their eyes fixed on Xu Shaochen’s watch. A true luxury watch—something they had only seen in movies.

“It’s just a watch. Feel free to take a look.”

Xu Shaochen casually took off his watch and handed it over.

“No, no, no. We’ll just take a look.”

Everyone was startled and quickly waved their hands. Earlier, they could still dare to touch Zhang Zihua’s watch, which was worth around seventy to eighty thousand.

But now, none of them dared to touch Xu Shaochen’s million-dollar luxury watch. After all, if something were to happen to it, they wouldn’t be able to afford it.

The conversation soon centered around Xu Shaochen, even with the birthday girl, Lingling.

All the women looked at Zhao Qingyu with envy; who wouldn’t want such a handsome, wealthy, and young boyfriend?

Feeling everyone’s envious gazes, Zhao Qingyu felt confused. Wasn’t this the guy who often flirted with her? Why did it now seem like she was the one taking advantage?

Even the men stopped being jealous of Xu Shaochen because of Zhao Qingyu. In their eyes, only someone like Xu Shaochen could deserve a beauty like Zhao Qingyu.

After all, a wealthy and handsome man like Xu Shaochen was someone they could never hope to compare to.

At 10:30 PM, everyone parted ways, each heading back to their homes.

“Let’s go. I’ll take you to school.”

After watching Zhao Qingyu say goodbye to Lingling and Xu Ya, Xu Shaochen finally walked over and put his arm around her.

“Hey! What are you doing? Let go of me. Stop messing around.”

Zhao Qingyu’s delicate body trembled. She had drunk quite a bit tonight, and the strong male scent next to her made her heart race.

She suddenly remembered what she had in her bag, and her heart began to pound.

“Everyone thinks you’re my girlfriend. What kind of girlfriend won’t let her boyfriend touch her?”

Xu Shaochen whispered in her ear, his tone carrying a hint of mischief.

“Am I? You don’t know?” Zhao Qingyu snapped back at him with a glare, stomping her heel on his foot.

Xu Shaochen hadn’t even brought it up, but the moment he did, it made Zhao Qingyu fume.

Xu Shaochen was Xie Wei’s boyfriend, so what did her unclear relationship with him mean? Was she going to share a man with her own student? What a joke! It was utterly ridiculous; if this got out, it would definitely become the laughingstock of Jiangzhou University.

Of course, Xu Shaochen would definitely become the idol of all the male students at Jiangzhou University.

“Ah!”

Xu Shaochen cried out in pain and instinctively let go of Zhao Qingyu. He hadn’t expected her to stomp so hard.

After that, Xu Shaochen behaved himself in the car. He didn’t make any moves all the way to the school, which surprised Zhao Qingyu.

She couldn’t help but wonder if she had stepped too hard earlier. Was he really mad?

The more she thought about it, the more nervous she became. Finally, she bit her lip, turned around, and quickly kissed Xu Shaochen on the corner of his mouth before fleeing into the school.

Xu Shaochen stood frozen for a while, touching the corner of his mouth. After a long moment, he muttered, “Pervert.”

Long Yi: “………”

Long Er: “………”

This was probably what people meant by ‘taking advantage and still acting innocent.’ A shameless person being coy.

Of course, the duo only dared to grumble in their hearts. They certainly wouldn’t dare say it to Xu Shaochen’s face.

After all, they needed to earn a living somehow.

“Let’s go home.”

After getting in the car, Xu Shaochen said, only to realize that Zhao Qingyu had left her bag in his car.

He thought about taking it back to her but then reconsidered. The walk from the school gate to the teacher’s dormitory was quite far. He decided to bring it to her tomorrow instead.

What could be inside? Xu Shaochen was curious and then shamelessly opened Zhao Qingyu’s bag.

Long Yi and Long Er, looking through the rear-view mirror, saw this scene and widened their eyes. Their boss was shameless!

Wasn’t it a known fact that a woman’s bag is off-limits?

“What are you looking at?”

Xu Shaochen glared at the two of them and then pulled the partition shut.

Long Yi and Long Er exchanged glances and nodded in understanding. Yes, they were looking at unraveling threads.

Ignorant of Long Yi and Long Er’s internal complaints, Xu Shaochen began rummaging through the bag with excitement. This was his first time doing something like this, and he found it oddly thrilling.

Lipstick, mirror, makeup compact, tissues, sanitary pads, and…stockings? Panties?!

Xu Shaochen was taken aback. Were these things usually stuffed into a bag? Sure enough, a woman’s bag could carry anything.

Wait, what was this? A condom?! Xu Shaochen regretted it. He felt like he had missed out on something big tonight. Zhao Qingyu had clearly been prepared to give herself to him, and if he had been a little more assertive, she wouldn’t have refused.

But he actually stayed quiet because of a little stomp. Ahhh! Regret welled up within him. He felt like he had missed out on a hundred million.

Meanwhile, back in her dorm room, Zhao Qingyu suddenly realized she had forgotten her bag in a fit of anger, recalling Xu Shaochen’s relationship with Xie Wei.

“Ahh, how horrible! I left my stuff from today—and that! That jerk wouldn’t snoop, right? This is so embarrassing.”

Zhao Qingyu was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. She thought about calling Xu Shaochen but ultimately didn’t.

Because Xu Shaochen would have already gone through her bag, wouldn’t it be even more awkward to call? If he hadn’t looked, curiosity would prompt him to do so after getting her call, making it just as uncomfortable.

He’d definitely figure out she had been planning to be with him tonight.

Oh no, this is so shameful.

………..

Meanwhile.

In Songshan City, within the Mei Family.

“Clang!”

The head of the Mei Family, Mei Tianqing, kicked the coffee table, sending everything on it crashing to the floor.

Liao Jie stood trembling in front of the table, his face pale. It was the first time he had seen Mei Tianqing so furious.

“Did he really say that?” Mei Tianqing asked, gritting his teeth as he glared at Liao Jie.

Liao Jie hurriedly nodded, “Yes, Boss. He said it himself. If we keep looking for Second Young Master, he won’t let the Mei Family off.”

“Tianqing, we must catch that little brat and bring him back. Liangxin’s surgery has to be scheduled soon.” Mei Tianqing’s wife looked at him anxiously, but when Mei Liangxin was mentioned, her face filled with anger.

Even Liao Jie couldn’t understand why, despite Liangxin being their biological son, the two were treated so differently.

“Hmph!” Mei Tianqing snorted coldly, a chill flashing in his eyes, “A brat who doesn’t know his place dares to threaten me? Dares to threaten the Mei Family? Inconceivable.”

“Forget about that brat for now. First, take some men and quietly bring back that scoundrel, Mei Liangxin.”

“Yes, Boss.”
