I've Got a System—Am I Proud?

He Meng's tone was icy.

At that moment, several of He Meng's brothers, along with Zhang Yi, all looked over.

Zhang Yi walked over as well.

When she saw Xiao Bei and Ji Qinglan, she deliberately put on the act of being a close sister.

She came over and sat beside Ji Qinglan.

"Wow, Lanlan, is this that Junior Brother? He's so handsome! You two really are perfect together!"

Xiao Bei looked at Ji Qinglan in confusion, his eyes asking who this girl was.

But Xiao Bei figured it out soon enough.

Ji Qinglan merely said coldly, "Of course my man and I are a perfect match!"

"Ah, it's just a pity for Young Master He. He chased you for so long, only to lose to a Junior Brother in the end!"

After casually dropping that remark, Zhang Yi looked at Xiao Bei again.

"Junior Brother, you're quite handsome. Where are you from? Is it stressful being with our Lanlan?"

Zhang Yi's tone sounded warm, without the slightest hint of ulterior motives.

If Xiao Bei had been the same age as he was in his previous life, he would definitely have answered with a grin. But who was Xiao Bei now?

Every move this girl made seemed as though she cared about him and Ji Qinglan, but from Ji Qinglan's tone and the current atmosphere, Xiao Bei could tell that this woman meant no good.

So he merely smiled faintly at her and said nothing.

Seeing this, a trace of mockery flashed through Zhang Yi's eyes. She had thought he was something special, but he was just a paper tiger. Faced with He Meng's questioning, he did not even dare say a word.

"Can you shut your mouth?" Ji Qinglan looked at Zhang Yi and said coldly.

Zhang Yi put on an aggrieved expression as she looked at Ji Qinglan. "Lanlan, how can you say that? As your sister, I'm just helping you vet him. Young Master He pursued you for so long and you never agreed. I was simply curious what kind of man could capture your heart..."

The moment Xiao Bei heard that, he immediately understood why his wife disliked this roommate. She really was such a scheming bitch!

Sure enough, as soon as Zhang Yi finished speaking, He Meng's expression changed slightly.

"Kid, I advise you to break up with Lanlan. Lanlan isn't someone you can reach for!"

Ji Qinglan frowned, Zhang Yi raised her head, and Yu Yun's eyes gleamed with amusement.

This was exactly the effect she wanted—to have He Meng test Ji Qinglan's little boyfriend's capabilities.

Everyone could hear the malice in He Meng's words.

Yet Xiao Bei simply looked openly at He Meng and nodded.

"That's true. Lanlan isn't someone just anyone can reach for!"

"But I'm not included among those people. You're still a little lacking!"

Xiao Bei's voice was not loud, but everyone present had been watching them, and the room had already gone quiet. Thus, every person there heard what Xiao Bei had just said.

"Damn, this kid really doesn't know his place!"

"If Young Master He isn't good enough, then you are?"

"This kid's got some nerve!"

"Who knows whether he really has what it takes, or if he's just putting on an act!"

Those who knew He Meng's background could not help but ridicule him.

Ji Qinglan chuckled softly. She knew Xiao Bei was angry. Others might not know Xiao Bei, but how could Ji Qinglan not?

Not to mention that Xiao Bei's cooperation with her alone was worth over five million, nor the car he drove that cost over three million. Even the Royal Oak he wore today was worth over one million.

Yes, He Meng might have a Lamborghini, but his family had bought it for him. How much money could he personally come up with?

Ji Qinglan did not know exactly, but it definitely would not exceed two million. Now look at Xiao Bei—he had only just started his freshman year, yet as far as she knew, he had already spent no less than ten million.

Although she did not know Xiao Bei's exact family background and did not want to know, Ji Qinglan knew that his family was definitely far from ordinary.

An eighteen-year-old capable of handling tens of millions had to be the scion of one of Xia Kingdom's top families. That was all Ji Qinglan could assume.

"Hehehe, kid, I'm not good enough?"

He Meng looked as though he had heard the biggest joke in the world.

He Meng was standing beside Ji Qinglan at the moment, and now a freshman had belittled him like this. Who could stand for that?

Especially in front of the girl he liked.

He might not be among Hangzhou's top-tier rich second-generation heirs, but he was still someone with a bit of a reputation in the second tier.

And now he was being looked down upon by a student from out of town?

At last, He Meng's gentlemanly demeanor vanished—or rather, Xiao Bei had angered him to the point that it finally collapsed!

"Kid, don't talk so big."

"I heard you have an S63. To ordinary people, that might be an expensive car, but compared to me, you're still a little lacking."

"See this? Lamborghini keys!"

"Let's not even talk about my ride. See my watch? An Audemars Piguet worth 500,000. My dad gave it to me for my birthday!"

"Oh, right. Do you own a place in Hangzhou? Sorry, but my family has five apartments in Hangzhou!"

As soon as He Meng finished speaking, Zhang Yi chimed in, "Hey, handsome, how about you apologize to Young Master He? It's fine. You have Lanlan protecting you—he wouldn't dare do anything to you!"

The two played off each other perfectly. Honestly, it was especially disgusting.

It was the first time everyone had learned about He Meng's family background, and they all drew sharp breaths.

"Wow, Young Master He's family is that powerful?"

"Binjiang Group? That's a major company with a market value of over two billion!"

"Five apartments in Hangzhou? Housing prices in Hangzhou aren't cheap these days!"

"Looks like this little brother has kicked an iron plate!"

Hearing the praise from those around him, He Meng grew even smugger. He glanced disdainfully at Xiao Bei. "Now, do you think I'm worthy? Or do you think I'm not? What do you have that's better than me?"

Zhang Yi watched Xiao Bei and Ji Qinglan with the attitude of someone enjoying a show. She wanted to know how Ji Qinglan's little boyfriend would strike back under He Meng's pressure.

The atmosphere instantly became tense, but Xiao Bei still wore a smile. There was no trace of panic on his face.

Xiao Bei originally hadn't wanted to argue with He Meng, but the man had already come looking for trouble.

Not striking back would seem unreasonable. Besides, this was it?

So Xiao Bei raised his head with a faintly mocking smile and looked straight into He Meng's eyes.

"Your dad is the chairman of Binjiang Group? Are you sure?"

"You can look it up!"

He Meng blurted out his confident reply.

"Heh..."

Xiao Bei shook his head with a laugh. "Kid, don't you know what a nominee holding agreement is? Your dad may be Binjiang Group's major shareholder on the surface, but in reality? You know perfectly well who Zhang Tiancheng is!"

"What!"

He Meng's heart pounded wildly. His face went pale, his lips trembled, and he immediately cursed.

"What nonsense are you talking about?!"

After hearing Xiao Bei's words and looking at He Meng's current reaction, everyone turned suspicious gazes toward him. Zhang Yi also looked at Xiao Bei in shock!

Seeing that He Meng was still stubbornly refusing to admit it, Xiao Bei revealed a relaxed, composed smile, as though everything was completely under his control.

Then he spoke leisurely:

"Your dad is nothing more than the chairman Zhang Tiancheng put out front. As his son, you know that perfectly well."

"As for the five apartments you mentioned, only one of them is worth much—the one in the city center worth twenty million. Of the other four, three are in the countryside by Riverbank, and one is in the countryside of Hangyu. Do you want me to get even more specific?"

"Y-you, you, you..."

He Meng stood frozen in disbelief, his face deathly pale, as though he had seen a ghost.

It wasn't just him. His friends, everyone present, Zhang Yi... all of them were so shocked they fell silent.

Ji Qinglan also looked at Xiao Bei in shock. How did he know? She knew perfectly well that she had never told him!

Big brother, what exactly does your family do?!

At that moment, that was what everyone was thinking.

How did he know? He had a system. Was he supposed to be proud of that?
