Li Zhenghao stepped forward to block Ye Yuwan, his face eager, as his eyes shone brightly and fixated on her, as if he wanted to strip off her clothes.
Yu Wan's brows furrowed immediately under his gaze, and her voice turned cold, "What do you want?"
"Ye Yuwan, are you also studying here? Then from now on, we'll be classmates. How about leaving me your contact information? Or better yet, become my girlfriend directly, and you won't have to expose yourself anymore. I will treat you like a princess, how about that?"
Li Zhenghao went straight to the point, without any disguise. He always used money to move women. In his view, Ye Yuwan, a singer and a little star, would definitely love money. As long as the price was right, there wouldn't be a pair of legs that couldn't be opened.
Ha-ha, this must be heaven helping me. To think that such a star would throw herself right into my lap, she must be devoured! Later, I could even take a few photos and show off in my friends' circle, making them all drool with envy, ha-ha-ha-ha.
As Li Zhenghao spoke, he had already begun dreaming sweet dreams in his mind!
Madman! However, in her heart, Yu Wan labeled this guy as sick and simply turned her head away to leave without paying him any attention.
"Excuse me, please step aside," Jiang Chen also didn't have a good impression of this guy. Seeing that Yu Wan didn't want to bother with him, he simply extended a hand and pushed Li Zhenghao aside.
"Get your stinking hand off me!"
But Li Zhenghao swatted away Jiang Chen's hand, gave him a disdainful glance, and his mouth curved into a contemptuous sneer, "Who do you think you are? You expect me to move just because you say so? Look at yourself, even as a bodyguard, you're so unsophisticated, ugh, pathetic! Also, as a bodyguard, you should just do what a bodyguard needs to do, and stay quiet over there."
Having said that, Li Zhenghao turned his attention back to Ye Yuwan, not caring about Jiang Chen; "Ye Yuwan, if you come with me, I guarantee you the finest things in life, and each time you go out, a luxury car will pick you up, and the bodyguards will certainly be strong and powerful, much better than this bumpkin here! How about that?"
Yu Wan became furious upon hearing Li Zhenghao daring to belittle Jiang Chen, and quickly grabbed Jiang Chen's hand, glaring at Li Zhenghao, "Jiang Chen is not my bodyguard! He is my... my friend!"
"Friend? Could it be..."
Li Zhenghao was stunned for a moment, then shouted in surprise, "Ye Yuwan, how could you be with such a demeaning person? How is he worthy of you, with the way he looks? Come with me, I'm a hundred times better than him!"
The bystanders who were watching the commotion were also taken aback.
The word "friend," along with the action of Yu Wan hooking onto Jiang Chen's arm, was more than an obvious hint.
This must be her boyfriend!
But how could that be possible?
"No way, why is Ye Yuwan with such a shabby-looking guy?"
"The clothes he's wearing aren't even as expensive as mine, right?"
"He's just a pretty face living off a woman!"
"She might as well be with Li Zhenghao!"
The classmates all burst into an uproar, none of them looking up to Jiang Chen, feeling as if a fresh flower had been stuck onto a pile of cow dung.
Jiang Chen glanced over the classmates, too lazy to bother with them, wanting to leave this place with Yu Wan.
But Yu Wan couldn't bear the others speaking about Jiang Chen like that, and staring down Li Zhenghao, the instigator, she snapped, "He's a hundred times better than you! You're not even fit to shine his shoes with the way you are!"
"I... Damn!"
Li Zhenghao's eyes bulged, incredulous at what Ye Yuwan had said. How could she speak about him like that? How could he be inferior to such a shabby-looking guy? Not even fit to shine his shoes? Bullshit!
The classmates around them were also dumbfounded, all thinking that Ye Yuwan was being completely unreasonable. From appearances alone, it was clear that Li Zhenghao was much stronger than the man beside her!
Suppressing the urge to curse, Li Zhenghao shouted, "Ye Yuwan, have you been bedazzled by this pretty boy? In what ways am I not better than him, tell me!"
Yu Wan was about to argue, but Jiang Chen patted her hand, "No need to argue with this idiot. Strength is the only thing that crushes everything."
With a single sentence, Ye Yuwan's anger dissipated on the spot. But as her eyes darted around, she suddenly let go of Jiang Chen and pointed towards the Knight XV not far away, her voice cold as she said, "Fine then, you say you're rich, huh? Can you afford that car?"
Li Zhenghao glanced at the car and immediately shrank his neck. He truly didn't have the means; the money he had was given by his father. He had heard the car enthusiast who was introducing the car earlier—it cost fifteen million, way too expensive for him to afford!
But Li Zhenghao didn't give up, standing tall and proud, he retorted, "I'm currently in school, so it's normal that I can't buy this car. After I graduate, my ride will definitely be better than this one. Besides, the kind of person who drives this car is definitely some middle-aged nouveau riche. For young people like us, driving a sports car is enough!"
"Middle-aged?" Ye Yuwan's lips curled into a mocking smile as she turned her head to look at Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen smiled faintly, took out the key, and pressed it towards the car from a distance.
"Beep beep!"
As all the classmates watched with dumbfounded expressions, the Knight XV's door locks opened.
"Heh, I told you, it's pointless to say anything to these idiots, he's just trash," Jiang Chen said indifferently, and strode towards the car.
Ye Yuwan looked at Li Zhenghao with an air of superiority and caught up with Jiang Chen, once again latching onto his arm.
Seeing this, all their classmates were dumbstruck.
It was simply unbelievable!
Turns out, the fifteen million luxury car belonged to this pauper.
Wow, that's incredibly low-profile!
"This is a real wealthy magnate!"
"Compared to him, that Li Zhenghao... psh!"
It took a while for the classmates to recover their senses, all of them exclaiming in surprise. When they looked at Li Zhenghao again, their eyes were filled with contempt.
What an idiot, trying to compete for a woman with such a major magnate. Is he sick in the head?
And Li Zhenghao was completely stunned, staring wide-eyed as Jiang Chen and his companion got into the car, his face burning with shame. He felt like slapping himself.
Humiliating, utterly humiliating!
...
"Ding-a-ling—"
After Jiang Chen and his companion left the school and dropped off Ye Yuwan at the company, Jiang Chen rushed to the clinic. While on the road, his phone began to ring.
After glancing at the caller ID, Jiang Chen put on his Bluetooth headset and answered the call, "Hello, President Lin."
"Mr. Jiang, have you received that one billion?" a slightly anxious voice of Lin Bingrui came from the earpiece.
"I have received it, thank you, President Lin," Jiang Chen smiled.
"Ah, no need to thank me, that's what I should do. The person who should be thankful is me; if it weren't for you..."
Lin Bingrui continued with the pleasantries on the phone before asking, "Mr. Jiang, there is an antique auction tonight, I was wondering if you would be interested in attending?"
Jiang Chen was slightly taken aback, an antique auction could potentially have something he needed.
"Sure, where is it held?" Jiang Chen agreed.
"It's in the Grand Banquet Hall on the sixth floor of Fuchang Hotel, I'll have someone send you the invitation right away."
