Chapter 20
Money Is Power
Chen Yun brought Wang Menghan home. After a simple meal, Chen Yun fell asleep.
The next day, there was no check-in mission.
Without a check-in mission on the next day, he started to miss it.
Chen Yun went out to run around the Imperial Dragon Heaven Pavilion in the morning. When he came back, he felt refreshed.
Wang Menghan had not woken up yet. She must have been tired from playing yesterday and felt relaxed during her vacation.
“It’s time to go to Sacred Heaven Entertainment today.” Chen Yun thought about it. The next moment, his phone rang.
“Mengmeng, what’s wrong?”
“Brother, you didn’t expect this, right? Guess where I am now.”
“Huh?” Chen Yun was stunned. “Have you already come to Jiang City?”
“That’s right. My classmates formed a team and came here to prepare for the exam. I can see the Yangtze River now.” Chen Mengmeng leaned against the glass and looked at the Yangtze River outside. It was simply vast.
It was no wonder everyone said that there was a dragon in China called the Yangtze River.
The pride in her heart could not help but overflow as she crossed the bridge over the river.
She was proud to be a descendant of China.
At the same time, many students leaned against the train window and watched the situation outside.
“Girl, why didn’t you tell me in advance? You only remembered me when you’re almost at the station. I’ll pick you up at the station later.” Chen Yun’s words made Chen Mengmeng shake her head repeatedly.
“It’s okay, Brother. I’ll just go to the hotel with my best friend. Besides, aren’t you studying in Jiang City? Where are you going to take me? Are we going to the dormitory?” Chen Mengmeng said sweetly, “I’ll come and play with you after I settle down.”
Chen Mengmeng was about to hang up when Chen Yun said slowly, “Your brother has bought a new house. It’s big enough for you to live in.”
“Really?”
Chen Mengmeng was also stunned. However, when she thought of the two first-prize lottery tickets that her brother had sent home, she believed it without a doubt. “Alright, Brother. See you at Jiang City Station later.”
After hanging up, Chen Yun looked at his phone and smiled bitterly. This girl was about to go to university, but she was still like a child.
Chen Yun doted on his sister very much. After all, how many older brothers did not dote on their younger sisters?
Speaking of which, Chen Yun and Chen Mengmeng had inherited excellent genes from the previous generation, especially Chen Mengmeng. She was nearly 1.7 meters tall. Coupled with her looks, she was simply excellent.
In particular, her etiquette, which she had picked up from being sent for etiquette classes since she was young, gave her a considerable advantage in terms of temperament. If one did not know her situation, they might have treated her as a mistress of a large family.
However, in front of her family, her appearance was different.
It was precisely because she had advantages in all aspects that Chen Mengmeng had the confidence to enter the acting department of Jiang City University of the Arts.
She wasn’t one of the top school belles of Yanwei No. 1 High School for no reason.
It had been a long time since they last met. Chen Yun missed this little girl.
After putting down the phone, Chen Mengmeng hugged Han Xue beside her. “Xiao Xue, my brother bought a house in Jiang City. We don’t need to stay in a hotel anymore. Let’s go to his place.”
Chen Mengmeng’s excited look attracted the attention of many students.
Especially the male students.
“Wow, my goddess is smiling so happily.”
“Your goddess? She’s everyone’s goddess.”
“Hehe, you country bumpkins can only look at her. Chen Mengmeng will be Brother Qiang’s sooner or later.”
A few boys in fashionable clothes looked at the others and sneered.
The other boys listened to them and did not dare to refute.
These people were all Xu Wenqiang’s lackeys. Xu Wenqiang was one of the most famous young masters in their class, or even the entire school.
His family owned a chain bathhouse. It was said that they had assets worth tens of millions!
Moreover, it was said that Xu Wenqiang had been wooing Chen Mengmeng recently, but Chen Mengmeng ignored him.
At this moment, Xu Wenqiang was playing poker with a few friends. His Nike shoes were placed on the seat opposite him.
He looked disgusted.
“F*ck, you guys only know how to come up with bad ideas. The train keeps bumping along the way. My butt is about to crack. I might as well fly over.”
“Brother Qiang, calm down. We suggested it because we remembered that Chen Mengmeng is also taking the train.”
“Brother Qiang, we’re thinking of you. You should appreciate it.”
“I know, I know.” Xu Wenqiang waved his hand. Then, he stood up and said loudly, “Classmates, I’ve already booked rooms at the Riverfront Hotel in Jiang City. It’s a three-star hotel. I’ve paid the room fee. You can’t embarrass me here. If you don’t come, I won’t be happy.”
When everyone heard this, they were stunned. F*ck!
He was too rich!
It was a three-star hotel! A room would probably cost a few hundred yuan. With so many people, it would cost him more than ten thousand yuan a night!
Furthermore, they would take many days to prepare for the exam. He might even spend 100,000 yuan!
For a moment, Xu Wenqiang’s call was met with hundreds of responses!
“Brother Qiang is mighty!”
“You’re so rich!”
“How awesome! Brother Qiang is generous!”
…
When Chen Mengmeng heard Xu Wenqiang’s words, she pursed her lips and looked at Han Xue. “Xiao Xue, come with me. If you don’t come, I’ll be so bored.”
...
As she spoke, she acted like a spoiled child. Even Han Xue could not take it anymore. “Alright, alright, alright. I’ll give in, I’ll give in.”
“Hehe, you’re the best!” Chen Mengmeng hugged Han Xue happily.
However, when the news reached Xu Wenqiang, his face darkened.
Everyone knew that he was so generous just to show off in front of Chen Mengmeng. However, Chen Mengmeng had a temper. By not going, she simply offended Xu Wenqiang.
Xu Wenqiang suddenly stood up and walked towards Chen Mengmeng.
“Chen Mengmeng, I’ve already booked rooms based on the number of people present. Are you guys complaining that the three-star hotel I booked isn’t good?” Xu Wenqiang came over and looked at Chen Mengmeng with a faint smile.
“I’m sorry, my brother is in Jiang City. He just bought a house. Since I’m here, isn’t it good to go to his place?” Chen Mengmeng explained.
“Hahaha, your brother?” Xu Wenqiang sneered when he heard Chen Mengmeng mention Chen Yun. “Chen Mengmeng, who are you trying to fool? Isn’t your brother still in university? It’s not like I haven’t seen him before. He doesn’t even have a branded item on him. He looks so poor. Besides, who doesn’t know about your parents and your family’s situation? How can you buy a house for your brother in Jiang City? Do you know the housing price in Jiang City? If you find a reason, find one that’s more decent!”
“Who are you calling poor?!”
Previously, Chen Mengmeng felt embarrassed for disrespecting Xu Wenqiang, but when she heard him mention her brother, she slammed the table and stood up. “Who are you talking about!”
“Don’t you just have a little money? How can you look down on others?”
...
Xu Wenqiang saw that Chen Mengmeng looked like she was going to bite someone and narrowed his eyes. “Chen Mengmeng, I’ll give you one more chance. Are you coming with us?”
“I said I’m going to look for my brother. Don’t you understand?!” Chen Mengmeng spoke angrily.
Seeing that Chen Mengmeng did not give him face, Xu Wenqiang’s expression turned ugly. The boys beside him saw this and quickly stood up.
“Brother Qiang, calm down. We’re all classmates.”
“That’s right, Brother Qiang. Don’t lower yourself to her level.”
“She isn’t blessed enough to enjoy a three-star hotel.”
A few boys went forward to comfort him, afraid that Xu Wenqiang would not bring them to stay in the three-star hotel in a fit of anger. That way, they would have to spend a lot more money.
Xu Wenqiang shook off the crowd and looked at Chen Mengmeng. “Alright, alright. Chen Mengmeng, you’re giving me a hard time, right? When we get back to Yanwei, just wait and see.”
With that, he turned around angrily.
When the girls beside her saw this situation, they either sneered or were jealous.
“Hehe, isn’t she just a little good-looking? She’s quite arrogant.”
“She actually dares to go against Xu Wenqiang. Tsk tsk, what kind of conditions does her family have? Look at her. She’s just a poor person. Why doesn’t she take a look at her own shortcomings before criticizing others? Who does she think she is?”
“That’s right. Just wait. When she goes to society in the future, she will suffer.”
“This time, she provoked Xu Wenqiang, right? Just wait. Any random big sister will be able to teach her a lesson. It’s enough to make her suffer.”
When Chen Mengmeng heard these words, she was so angry that she was about to cry.
For a moment, she and Han Xue were isolated by the entire class.
They had no choice. After all, money was power.
