High School Belle Fell in Love with Me

Since graduating last year, Li Yang left the Capital City, and in the blink of an eye, it’s almost been a year.

When he returned to the Capital City, he felt a sense of unfamiliarity.

He has always loved big cities and thought everything about them was great.

Perhaps it’s because of Jiang Banxia’s influence, now he doesn’t have that same fondness for the Capital City.

He must admit, he really likes his current identity, even if someone recognizes him on the high-speed train, at most they just smile, or some might come up for an autograph and a brief chat.

If it were Jiang Banxia, she would probably be surrounded instantly.

Li Yang is indeed quite famous, but there aren’t many people who look up to him as their idol.

Jiang Banxia is different; perhaps every fan of hers sees her as an idol.

Back in their hometown, Jiang Banxia can hardly go to public places. The whole county knows about her existence; once surrounded, she might never get out.

If Jiang Banxia came to the Capital City, every corner of the city would invite her over.

Li Yang, however, doesn’t need to worry about that, partly because his business is in Jiangbei, and over there, Ye Bingcheng has already had a word with him, so no one would bother him.

On the other hand, those who know Li Yang know he has a bad temper and often writes long posts. No one wants to deal with him.

If by any chance someone accidentally upsets Li Yang, there’s a good chance they would see a long post online the next day. Who wants to take that risk?

To put it bluntly, when someone needs something from others, shamelessness is often involved, and offending people is quite normal.

For example, before Wang Shoufu wanted to invest in a poor county, and they unabashedly demanded five hundred million to build a pig farm.

Wang Shoufu directly flipped out, questioning what kind of pig farm would need five hundred million? With that amount, the twenty thousand people in the poor county could each receive two thousand five hundred, and how many pigs would it take to earn two thousand five hundred for each person?

...

When Song Yu suddenly saw Li Yang coming over, she seemed a bit embarrassed.

Li Yang hadn’t been in the Capital City for a long time, and she hadn’t bothered to dress up. Even the new clothes she bought didn’t motivate her to wear them.

She flicked her hair and walked over, saying grumpily, "Why didn’t you give a heads-up?"

"Ha, I’m staying a while this time, no need to change clothes, right?"

Song Yu’s eyes lit up, "How long will you stay?"

"Maybe ten days or so. I’m not busy with other stuff during this time, just came to treat you all to dinner."

"Treat us?"

"Yeah, Xiangnu’s already been treated several times recently in Jiangbei, mainly want to treat Sister Song and Ruyi, but you both have been busy."

"No, I’m treating you to dinner tonight."

"That’s fine too, let’s go to Ruyi Hall."

"No, come to my place; I’ll cook for you personally."

"But I’ve already told Ruyi."

"No way!"

Song Yu finished, and directly grabbed Li Yang’s hand, pulling him outside.

She pulled Li Yang into the car, then drove away from the store.

She no longer needed to oversee the store personally, as the nationwide Starry Escape Room system was already very well established, entering a stage of market competition with little room for progress.

She’d been working for over four years and could now sit back and enjoy the fruits of her labor.

Compared to other earnings, the revenue from Starry Escape Room was not much, with annual turnover close to two billion, and net profit just around fifty million, which she and Li Yang split in half, a mere twenty-five million each.

Four years ago, such a company would have made her ecstatic, thinking of it as a lifetime career.

Now, the only tie Starry Escape Room has on her is Li Yang’s 50% stake.

Twenty minutes later, Song Yu brought Li Yang to her residence.

She no longer lived with the Song Family, as their house was not big and had too many rules she didn’t like.

Even though she no longer had to abide by those rules now, she couldn’t bring herself to like the Song Family due to past experiences.

She was just maintaining a facade of relationship.

After getting out of the car, looking at the large villa ahead, Li Yang laughed and asked, "Sister Song, you changed houses?"

"Yeah, thanks to a certain someone, I’m living like a wealthy woman now."

"Sister Song has always been a wealthy woman."

Though the location was a bit remote, it was conveniently accessible, and the design was quite good. This villa certainly wasn’t cheap.

Probably cost a few hundred million.

Song Yu had even hired housekeeping staff, more than ten people managing up and down, keeping the entire villa impeccably clean.

"Sister Song, why not invite Ruyi over?"

This remark seemed to offend Song Yu, as she suddenly said with a cold face, "I know your Ruyi cooks well; she was born for the kitchen. If you are truly dissatisfied, I can take you back right now."

Li Yang helplessly said, "This is clearly because I care about Sister Song, after all, I spend twenty million a year at Ruyi Hall and haven’t even eaten there a lot. Asking her to come cook a meal would help me break even."

"Hmph, whatever you lose, I’ll make up for it!"

"Alright!"

Li Yang didn’t mention Liu Ruyi again and followed Song Yu into the villa in peace.

Once inside, Song Yu personally poured tea for Li Yang, even dismissing the maid.

Once everything was set, she asked Li Yang to stay put for a while, and she immediately headed to the kitchen to prepare food.

Li Yang took the opportunity to send Liu Ruyi a message, chatted a bit in the wealthy women group, and arranged some dinner plans for the following days.

Li Yang had to admit, the wealthy women group was one of his benefactors.

The biggest benefactor was still Bai Qing.

The purpose of this visit to the Capital City was to treat them to a meal and give back to life a little.
