“What are you thinking about?”

At the restaurant next to the cafeteria, Li Shuru looked at the absent-minded young man beside her with curiosity.

“Nothing, has he arrived yet?”

Jiang Chen asked as if it was nothing.

“He’s on his way.”

Jiang Chen nodded, his mind still uncontrollably recalling last night’s experience.

He had an accident and actually hit the future school beauty.

“Bro Luo, how come you came back so quickly?”

“Sigh, it seems like junior sister Luo got injured.”

“Injured?”

“Yes, it seems she was hit by a car?”

“Hit by a car?

Is it serious?”

“Not serious.

According to her roommate, it’s just a superficial wound.

Damn it, if I find out who it was, I won’t let them off easy!”

Throughout, Jiang Chen simply listened in silence, without uttering a word.

If this got out, he would surely be thrust into the spotlight again.

He might even become public enemy number one at school.

Fortunately, the junior understood the situation and didn’t expose him.

As expected of the hot favorite for school beauty—truly well-rounded in virtue, intelligence, physical fitness, aesthetics, and labor.

If there were an election, he would certainly cast a vote in favor of her.

Li Shuru, of course, was unaware of last night’s incident, and Jiang Chen didn’t plan to tell anyone.

For the sake of confidentiality, the two deliberately chose a private room.

And the person they invited was none other than Liang Zhenlun.

“With so much money, do you think Liang Zhenlun might make a profit from it…

or maybe…”

Although she had decided to pay to get ahead of the queue and had even convinced her mother, Li Shuru still had her reservations.

After all, Liang Zhenlun’s character was well known and not to be trusted.

“Or maybe he will simply swallow the three million?”

Jiang Chen continued her thought, seeming to know what was on Li Shuru’s mind.

“Don’t worry, he won’t.”

“Why not?”

Seeing how certain Jiang Chen was, Li Shuru couldn’t help but question, “This sort of transaction can’t stand the light of day, there will definitely be no contracts or evidence, it’s just his word, who can guarantee he isn’t just talking nonsense?”

“You make sense, but have you ever thought about why he would be so eager to offer his help?”

“Because…”

Li Shuru hesitated for a moment, but still expressed her most genuine inner thought, “Because he wants to win my favor.”

Jiang Chen’s expression showed no displeasure, instead he smiled slightly.

“That’s just one reason.”

“One reason?”

“That’s right.”

Jiang Chen nodded.

“He wants your favor, that’s true, but the key reason is that he wants to test my background.”

Li Shuru frowned slightly.

“If I’m not mistaken, Bai Haoran must have already told him about it.

But knowing Liang Zhenlun’s character, he definitely wouldn’t just take it at face value, so the best way is to verify it himself,” Jiang Chen continued.

“Verify what?”

“Verify whether I actually have that kind of strength.”

Jiang Chen said calmly, “Although he’s not the best of people, he’s definitely not foolish.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been so polite to me in front of your mother yesterday.

He’s well aware that your family can’t come up with so much money in the short term, so what he wants is simply an answer.”

“It’s just uncertain if, when we give him the money later, Mr.

Liang will be satisfied with this answer.”

Jiang Chen laughed softly.

“We were able to raise this sum of money so quickly, he’ll definitely understand it’s from you.

So, he will realize you’re not just the poor student you seem to be, and he won’t dare to embezzle our money.”

Li Shuru thoughtfully said, “Having Bai Haoran as a precedent, he might even go out of his way to handle this matter and try to mend the relationship with you.”

Jiang Chen’s eyes showed admiration.

“That’s very smart.”

Li Shuru, far from prideful, met Jiang Chen’s eyes.

“Can you now tell me why Bai Haoran would stab himself in the back?

It can’t just be because you have money; there must be something more.”

“Do you really need to know everything that clearly?”

Jiang Chen smiled bitterly.

“I want to know.”

Li Shuru gazed at him.

“Alright then.”

Jiang Chen sighed, “Actually, my family has a bit of a connection with the directors of Sifang Group, and as it happens, Bai Haoran also had some business dealings with Sifang Group.

So, I used my connection with Sifang Group to put a little pressure on him, never expecting to scare him that much.”

Li Shuru wasn’t surprised and was silent for a while before she softly said, “So it turns out you really are a young master.”

“Not really, if my parents were still here, maybe, but now… You know, favors get used up.”

As Jiang Chen spoke with ease, he didn’t forget to patch things up, so as not to boast too much and be unable to back it up later.

“Sorry to have kept you waiting.”

The private room door was pushed open.

Liang Zhenlun came in, full of apologies.

“It’s okay, we’ve only just sat down.”

Jiang Chen returned the courtesy with poise, greeting him with a smile as if no deep conflict had ever existed between them.

“Let’s order.”

Li Shuru said.

After the order was taken and the waiter left, Li Shuru took out a bank card from her purse, placed it on the table, and slowly slid it towards Liang Zhenlun.

“There are three million in here.

I’m counting on you for my dad’s issue.”

Glancing at the bank card, Liang Zhenlun’s pupils contracted, and his face involuntarily stiffened for a moment.

“If my uncle really can get out of this safely, we’ll definitely show our gratitude.”

Jiang Chen spoke confidently.

If it had been before, Liang Zhenlun would have already started taunting by now, but instead, he squeezed out a smile and quickly responded, “Where did that come from, Jiang?

As friends, I naturally cannot shirk from this matter.

I’ll contact my friend immediately, you both can rest assured.”

“Thanks.”

Liang Zhenlun smiled nonchalantly, though inside he was in turmoil.

He truly hadn’t expected the other party to endure humiliation to such an extent, to be disparaged for so long as a lapdog, yet not utter a word, always hiding his true background.

Damn it.

He had nearly been duped himself.

“Jiang, I was rash and offensive in my younger days, I hope you’ll be more forgiving.”

Even before the dishes arrived, Liang Zhenlun had already opened a bottle of beer, humbly filled two cups, and with extreme humility, stood up to hand one to Jiang Chen.

Keep in mind,

Li Shuru was still sitting there.

Sometimes you have to admit that wealthy people know how to adapt to society better than ordinary people, at least they understand the importance of being able to bend and stretch.

When dealing with those inferior to them, they are arrogant and unruly, but in the presence of their superiors, they immediately change their demeanor.

Ordinary people often don’t understand such adaptability.

Jiang Chen, who had been called a lapdog by the whole school for nearly a year, rightfully took his seat and accepted the cup of beer.

“I’ll drink first, Jiang, feel free.”

Standing, Liang Zhenlun raised his cup, tipped his head back, and downed it in one go.

Li Shuru sat beside him, and even though she had gradually come to accept that Jiang Chen was no ordinary person, this scene still left her somewhat dazed.
