Chapter 1071: Chapter 1071: Star Era Guide (21)
Mr. Du doesn’t want to offend Chuzheng. She has RN6.
Of course, that’s not the only reason. Someone who can snag RN6 with wealth is best not offended.
“What does Miss Chuzheng mean?”
“It’s simple.” After all, I’m a good person, very easy to talk to.
–
On the lawn, a man in a suit crawled on all fours, his face flushed as he yelled, “I am a dog.”
The guests gathered around, discussing in confusion.
Chuzheng’s principle is that if you don’t bother me, all is well.
If you do bother me, sorry, even double compensation won’t suffice.
Especially if you offend the Good Person Card, you can forget getting off easily.
I haven’t even cursed at the Good Person Card, why should others curse at it!
It’s mine!
The matter of Chuzheng standing up for Jing Lan quickly spread. People’s views of Jing Lan changed a bit.
This newly rich figure has a staggering level of wealth. Many have looked into her background but found no clues, only knowing she’s extremely wealthy.
The more obscure she is, the more people speculate, afraid to easily offend her.
If Jing Lan really gets connected with her, who knows how things might develop in the future?
“Can you let go of me now?” Jing Lan indicated his wrist that Chuzheng held.
Instead of letting go, Chuzheng slid down and clasped his hand.
Jing Lan: “…”
Chuzheng looked at him: “Teacher, aren’t you going to thank me?”
Jing Lan’s gaze fell elsewhere as he said in a less pleasant tone: “I don’t need your help, nor your sympathy.”
He has his pride.
Doesn’t need others’ condescending charity.
“You’re overthinking it,” Chuzheng said coolly.
Jing Lan’s deep blue pupils narrowed slightly, a trace of sarcasm in his voice: “You’re not pitying me?”
When he was down, there were people willing to help him.
But always with sympathetic purposes.
After he refused, they would get angry, and try various ways to demean him.
Just like that man earlier…
Chuzheng calmly countered: “Why would I pity you?”
Jing Lan frowned lightly: “Then why help me? What’s your motive?”
Motive?
What motive could I have?
I’m doing fine!
“Because you are mine.”
“…”
Jing Lan appeared dazed, his ocean-blue eyes unfocused.
If someone else had said this to Jing Lan, it would likely have been a humiliation, an offense.
But he found it somewhat strange at the moment…
As if he heard it long ago, from someone.
Yet he couldn’t recall who said those words to him.
Jing Lan came back to his senses, a hint of anger on his fair face: “Who is yours? What are you babbling about? Shameless!”
Jing Lan angrily broke free from Chuzheng’s hold, stepping back.
Chuzheng suddenly reached out, wrapped his waist, causing his body to helplessly fall toward her.
A loud exaggerated exclamation came from a robot behind him.
Chuzheng’s voice whispered in his ear: “Watch out.”
Clear and cold, like ice spring water tinkling down a mountain.
Yet her breath was warm, like feathers brushing his ear, ticklishly.
Jing Lan was against Chuzheng, the two’s posture intimate and cozy, like closely held lovers.
Jing Lan glimpsed a robot leaving with a tray, realizing if she hadn’t pulled him, he might have crashed into those items.
He shoved Chuzheng away, glanced at her, and turned to leave, his back showing signs of fleeing.
Chuzheng carefreely tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, took a sip from a nearby glass of wine.
–
“Big spender.”
Master Yin Er, having extricated himself from somewhere, leaned beside Chuzheng.
Chu·Big Spender·zheng: “…”
Though I’m wealthy, could you stop calling me a big spender!
“My name is Chuzheng.”
“Oh… I know that.” Master Yin Er doesn’t seem to understand why Chuzheng introduced herself again, but his attention quickly shifted: “Big spender, did you just stand up for Jing Lan?”
Big spender big spender big spender… Big spender, your uncle! Who’s acting gaudy here!
“So what if I did.” Chuzheng spoke crossly, each word carrying a fierce tone.
Master Yin Er said: “His situation should be all over the Star Era, right? Standing up for him will make people think you’re associated with him, which could cause you trouble in the future.”
Trouble?
What part of me isn’t trouble.
Chuzheng placed both hands on the railing, looking out at the crowd: “Why did you invite him over? Aren’t you afraid of trouble?”
“I’m different.” The playboy grinned cheekily: “I won’t inherit the Yin Family anyways. I can hang out with anyone I want, and Jing Lan and I have been brothers. If I abandoned him now, it’d be too fickle and doesn’t fit my persona.”
Is “fickle” used this way?
What persona does a playboy have?
Are today’s rich kids this cunning?
“You didn’t have to stand up for him; he won’t suffer.” Master Yin Er winked at Chuzheng: “He’s quite fierce.”
Master Yin Er daringly invited Jing Lan, knowing he wouldn’t come off worse.
Chuzheng remained silent.
“I heard Jing Lan is your teacher now?”
“Mm.”
“What can he teach you, teach you to fight?” Master Yin Er laughed heartily.
Chuzheng pondered: “…Drink.”
Jing Lan spends a third of his day sleeping and two-thirds drinking, planned out precisely.
“…”
Clearly, Master Yin Er also thoroughly knows Jing Lan.
Master Yin Er and Chuzheng chatted away with nonsense, as Chuzheng reciprocated indifferently, occasionally responding.
If it weren’t for Master Yin Er’s numerous topics, the conversation would’ve died long ago.
“Why did you enter the academy?” Master Yin Er suddenly asked curiously: “What’s so good about that scrappy place, are you trying to secure a good future even though you’re not short on money?”
Master Yin Er, who only wants to eat, drink, and have fun, doesn’t care for learning.
“To finish him.”
“Huh?”
Chuzheng’s words were a bit unclear, and Master Yin Er didn’t quite catch them.
Finish what?
Clearly, Master Yin Er didn’t mind the answer. His topics shifted swiftly: “By the way, in a while, there’s going to be a mecha exhibit, are you going?”
“No.”
“Why not?” Master Yin Er said: “Isn’t your school having a mecha competition soon? Aren’t you participating?”
Chuzheng showed no expression: “Do I look like I have spiritual power?”
“Don’t you?”
Master Yin Er’s naturally assumed expression almost made Chuzheng doubt whether she had some latent spiritual power she wasn’t aware of.
“That’s not the point. Anyway, just go check it out. These mecha exhibits are rare to come across; going won’t cost you anything.” Master Yin Er waved: “I’ll reach out to you then, big spender.”
Chuzheng: “…”
Did I agree?!
You just decided to contact me!
[Main mission: Buy a mecha at the mecha exhibit.]
The King’s Account precisely laid the plans for Chuzheng.
Chuzheng: “…”
I… damn!
