How to Stay Bound to Su Bai for Life

What Zhou Jialu said might have sounded a little mercenary, but it was the truth.

In this society, money was what gave you confidence.

Why had fear appeared on Zhang Kang's face when he left?

Of course, it was because the wealth Zhou Jialu's boyfriend had displayed made him apprehensive.

In truth, Zhou Jialu did not know what kind of background Su Bai's family had.

But she was certain it could crush the likes of Zhang Kang.

Ever since she received Liu Yuanyuan's call, Zhou Jialu had already worked out how to handle today's matter.

This time, she had to thoroughly scare Zhang Kang off and eliminate any possibility of him causing trouble again.

Otherwise, Zhou Jialu herself would find it bothersome, and Su Bai would be bothered too. If something like this upset Su Bai, it would accordingly lower his opinion of her.

That opinion mainly concerned how she conducted herself and handled social situations.

Rich people were not fools. They placed great importance on a girl's emotional intelligence.

Zhou Jialu wanted to stay bound to Su Bai for life, remaining by his side and enjoying wealth and luxury for the rest of her days.

Just think—if she could not even independently deal with harassment from someone like Zhang Kang, what right did she have to enjoy Su Bai's favor for a long time?

Although Zhou Jialu's face and figure were both top-tier, mere pretty vases were not scarce in this world.

What was truly scarce was someone like Su Bai.

Young, wealthy, handsome, and even well-endowed in that regard...

Fortunately, this incident had been quickly and properly resolved.

Zhou Jialu could not help feeling a little smug. Sure enough, frequently taking on various internships during school to build up her social skills had been useful. She knew how to deal with people and how to handle trash like Zhang Kang.

Oh, and junior female student Liu Yuanyuan had also helped her deal with it in time.

Glancing at Liu Yuanyuan beside her, Zhou Jialu said, "Thank you, junior female student. You did very well today."

"Hehe, I actually didn't do much. It was all thanks to you, senior school sister... But senior school sister, now that you've embarrassed Zhang Kang like that, will he badmouth you behind your back? He might even spread some nasty rumors."

Liu Yuanyuan suddenly thought of that and could not help worrying.

"It doesn't matter. He won't dare go too far. At most, he'll make insinuations in the dark," Zhou Jialu said lightly. "I don't care about that level of nonsense. My reputation has never been good since high school, so I stopped caring about other people's opinions long ago."

"On the contrary, I hope Zhang Kang hurries up and helps publicize it, so everyone knows I'm being kept by a rich tycoon."

In this regard, Zhou Jialu really was completely different from ordinary girls.

She worshipped money openly and without shame.

At the thought of everyone using nasty words to describe how she had been kept by a wealthy man, hating her yet being filled with jealousy and helplessness, Zhou Jialu's cheeks reddened, and she could not help letting out a soft hum.

This was one of her rather strange sources of pleasure—she liked the feeling of being kept by a powerful man.

As for becoming Su Bai's possession, that was even better. It made Zhou Jialu feel very secure.

Deep down, she was this kind of little woman: fierce and strong toward outsiders, yet soft and dependent with those close to her.

Compared with those socialites who wanted to have it both ways, spending men's money while still calling themselves "independent women," Zhou Jialu's personality was practically a breath of fresh air.

"Senior school sister, you're so mentally strong. I admire you so much," Liu Yuanyuan praised sincerely.

"Ah, stop it. That's so cheesy. You're making me embarrassed with all that praise... Hurry up and open Meituan so we can figure out what to eat."

Meanwhile.

Su Bai drove back to school.

He bought some snacks on the way, planning to eat them in the dorm tonight.

Tonight, he was going to game with his idiot son Wang Haoran, so he planned to stay in the dorm for a night.

Senior school sister was great, but he could not stay glued to her like conjoined twins all the time. Life had to be varied and colorful.

He had been delayed for a while, so he did not run into the grand "senior school sister versus Zhang Kang" showdown in the parking lot of Jiang University's South Campus.

The class meeting was held in one of the teaching buildings. Their counselor, Xia Lin, had reserved a classroom, and the students only needed to arrive there at the appointed time.

She had only reserved it for one class period.

Xia Lin said in the class group that she would arrange everything from now until the National Day holiday, and their next class meeting would not be until October.

Su Bai liked this decisive and efficient style.

Inside the classroom.

Xia Lin had moved a stool behind the podium and sat there holding an old-model iPad. A paper was displayed on the screen, making her look quite impressive.

"Director Xia, you're so diligent. You haven't even forgotten about research while attending a class meeting. This year's graduate scholarship in our department is definitely yours."

The moment Xue Tao entered and saw Xia Lin reading a paper, he immediately piled on a fawning smile and flattered her.

Xia Lin frowned slightly and said irritably, "Our department is fairly well-funded. Generally speaking, graduate students can all receive scholarships; you don't need to be particularly outstanding."

"...Oh, haha, then I guess I didn't understand the situation." Xue Tao laughed awkwardly, then added, "Well then, I hope you'll rise even further and get selected as some kind of Young Scholar..."

"The Young Scholar program is for faculty members with teaching positions. It has nothing to do with me."

Xia Lin was utterly speechless. Half laughing, half exasperated, she said, "Stop rambling. Go find a seat downstairs."

"Yes, Teacher."

Having failed twice at flattering her, Xue Tao could not help feeling embarrassed. But since the counselor had said so, he could only grin awkwardly and head to the back row to sit down.

Meanwhile, the quick-witted Wang Haoran had already fired up a Gacha game and cleared three instances, truly impressive.

A game had released a new banner yesterday. Wang Haoran mentioned it to Su Bai on WeChat, and Su Bai immediately dumped another tens of thousands of yuan into it.

He really didn't treat money like money.

That was fucking awesome. Choosing to grind Brother Bai's account for him had definitely been the right call. Wasn't this way more satisfying than playing his own account?

Chu Mingzhe wore a pair of internationally branded in-ear headphones and was listening to some classical music, looking thoroughly absorbed, as though he were floating on air.

Xue Tao glanced at his two roommates beside him and could not help shaking his head.

They were all so childish. They did not understand social etiquette at all.

The counselor still was not familiar with the people in the class. He needed to seize this chance to make an impression in front of Xia Lin and strive to get recommended by her to work for the Youth League Committee next semester.

That was Xue Tao's plan.

As a mature local, he should plan out his university life early.

And not just work for the Youth League Committee.

The student union, clubs, all kinds of exchange associations...

His life had to be rich and varied. At the very least, his Moments posts had to make him look fulfilled, so that he would give off an air of sophistication.

Xue Tao himself admitted that he liked being in the spotlight. He wanted to become a prominent figure on campus, because only then would he have the chance to meet higher-class girls.

Liu Yuanyuan was pretty good, but Xue Tao wanted someone even better!

Just as Xue Tao fantasized about making waves over the next four years, Su Bai entered through the front door of the classroom.

Immediately, the few girls in the class all stared at him.

One after another, they vaguely sensed the change in Su Bai.
