Chapter 262: True Heart and False Intentions
"Mr. Xia, do you have any idea what your mother did? Before you made this call, I’m guessing you didn’t bother to find out what happened to me yesterday, did you?"
Although there was no direct evidence yet, Yun Zijin knew Zhang Yiqin was behind it.
’Other than Zhang Yiqin, I can’t think of anyone else stupid enough.’
Xia Zhiyun fell silent. He really didn’t know what had happened to Yun Zijin yesterday.
"Alright, you’re driving, aren’t you? Just hang up. And don’t call me again. If you get into an accident, I’ll end up bearing joint liability, and I’d be a completely innocent victim."
With that, Yun Zijin hung up and casually blocked the number Xia Zhiyun had just called from.
’I’ll just block every number you call from. We’ll see who gives out first: you buying new SIM cards, or me running out of space on my blocklist.’
Xia Zhiyun tried to call Yun Zijin again, but a moment later, he realized he’d been blocked.
He’d been blocked so many times that he was already used to it. Surprisingly, he wasn’t even angry.
Still, the most important thing right now was to get Zhang Yiqin to the hospital. With a fever this high, it wouldn’t be good if it ended up frying her brain.
Yun Zijin hadn’t been awake, but the call from Xia Zhiyun had jolted her from her sleep.
Now wide awake, she couldn’t get back to sleep, so Yun Zijin decided to just get up.
To her surprise, when she stepped out of her room, she saw Qin Sitong already in the dining area, eating breakfast.
"You’re up so early?"
"We have an 8 AM class today. You didn’t forget, did you?"
Qin Sitong gave Yun Zijin a slightly exasperated look.
Yun Zijin: ...
’That absolute moron made me lose my head.’
"Good thing I’m up now."
’Otherwise, I would’ve had to rush around again.’
"Don’t worry, I was keeping an eye on the time. I would’ve woken you up for sure."
It was just that Qin Sitong had trouble sleeping in a strange bed; she never slept well in unfamiliar environments, which was why she had woken up so early.
Yun Zijin sat down to eat breakfast as well.
After breakfast, the two of them left for school together.
Today, Yun Zijin had switched to a Lamborghini Sián. After all, her whole thing was to never drive the same car two days in a row.
Qin Sitong was already completely desensitized to Yun Zijin showing up in a different supercar every day.
"You’re so high-profile. Aren’t you afraid someone at school will get ideas about you?"
After all, plenty of college guys these days were looking for an easy way out.
"I have a boyfriend, you know. And my love for my dear Mr. Lu is steadfast and true."
’Of course, Yun Zijin was also confident that no guy at their school—underclassman or upperclassman—who could even hold a candle to Lu Yunque had been born yet.’
"Eww~"
Qin Sitong rubbed her arms. ’Such a shameless display.’
Yun Zijin shot Qin Sitong a look. "You’re quite the success story yourself now. I bet tons of guys are chasing you, right, little miss moneybags?"
The Wangyou Milk Tea Shop’s daily revenue was nothing to scoff at. Even if Qin Sitong only got half the profits, it was still a considerable amount.
Compared to the average person, she was already doing much, much better.
Now it was Qin Sitong’s turn to fall silent.
’She hadn’t realized she was apparently so desirable before. It had even made her a little vain.’
But hearing Yun Zijin put it that way, Qin Sitong’s skin crawled.
’If that’s the case,’ Qin Sitong thought, ’I don’t think I could accept it.’
’I should probably just wait a while. You can’t trust a man’s sweet talk!’
"How about it? Had an epiphany?"
Even though Yun Zijin was concentrating on the road ahead, she was still multitasking by chatting with Qin Sitong.
"Now that you mention it, I hadn’t realized, but a lot of guys have popped up lately trying to pursue me.
They can’t all just be looking for a sugar mama, can they?"
’I’m probably not considered a true ’rich girl’ yet, am I? I can’t even afford an apartment in Dijing.’
"Earning over five thousand a day? How is that *not* a little miss moneybags?
Five thousand a day, that’s a hundred and fifty thousand a month, and one point eight million a year. Think about it—what job earns you 1.8 million a year?"
Give Qin Sitong a little more time to open another branch, and her income would double. She’d be making over three million a year then.
It might be insignificant compared to Yun Zijin, but she was far better off than most. Plenty of guys would love to find a wife like that.
Qin Sitong fell silent. She knew Yun Zijin had a point.
But now, thinking about all the love letters, gifts, and flowers she’d received lately... it all felt like a joke.
Noticing Qin Sitong’s glum expression, Yun Zijin offered a bit of comfort. "But don’t get discouraged. While most of them are probably after your money, you can’t rule out the possibility that some are genuine.
I think you just have to watch them carefully—really use your heart to observe. If all else fails... you can let me meet them if you get the chance.
My judgment of character is pretty sharp."
’Especially since binding with the Randomly Spend system, Yun Zijin felt like she’d become extremely sensitive to other people’s malice.’
"Deal! If I find someone I like, you’ll be the first person I bring him to see."
Qin Sitong didn’t trust her own judgment, so she was thrilled to have someone who could help her strategize.
The car soon arrived at the university. All of Yun Zijin’s cars were registered with campus security, so the guard at the gate only checked their student IDs before waving them through.
Yun Zijin drove directly to the academic building where their class was.
"Classmate Yun!"
"You switched cars again, Classmate Yun!"
"Whoa! This time it’s a Lamborghini Sián! Classmate Yun, each of your cars is more stunning than the last!"
...
After Yun Zijin and Qin Sitong got out of the car, a number of people came over to say hello, most of them their classmates.
Yun Zijin and Qin Sitong weren’t actually very close with most of their classmates, but they always responded when someone said hello.
Otherwise, if someone took a picture and posted it on the official university forum, people would start accusing them of acting like divas again.
Yun Zijin, in particular, was always very careful about her words and actions at school now.
Once that wave of people had passed, the two of them quickly hurried into the building.
"Let’s go, let’s go. If more people come, we’ll have to deal with it all over again."
Yun Zijin pulled Qin Sitong along, and they hurried up the stairs, quickly arriving at the classroom for their lecture.
"Zijin! Siting! Over here!"
As Yun Zijin and Qin Sitong entered the classroom, they heard their names being called. They looked toward the source of the sound and were surprised to see it was Ren Hui and Li Cui.
’Didn’t those two have a falling out? How did they end up together again?’
’Besides, Ren Hui had been incredibly gloomy recently because of her family’s bankruptcy, and Li Cui had been avoiding her like the plague.’
’I take my eyes off them for a bit, and they’re suddenly buddy-buddy again.’
’And... they were being so friendly toward them.’
Everyone in their class knew their dormmates didn’t get along. They were split into two distinct pairs, with a clear line drawn between them.
It used to be Ren Hui who acted like the big shot, but now Yun Zijin and Qin Sitong were the ones who had struck it rich. The tables had truly turned.
Nearly every eye in the classroom turned to Yun Zijin and Qin Sitong, their faces screaming that they were ready for some drama.
The two exchanged a look and decided to ignore Ren Hui and Li Cui’s enthusiastic greeting, finding their own seats instead.
The other students looked disappointed; they had thought Classmate Yun and Student Qin would choose to bury the hatchet with their roommates.
’Oh, right. It’s not like they were ever on good terms to begin with. More like letting bygones be bygones.’
"Zijin, what do you think... what are they up to?"
"I don’t know. We’ll just deal with whatever they throw at us."
In the face of absolute power, any scheme is just a paper tiger.
