A Starving Camel Is Still Bigger Than a Monkey

Liu Ruyan really did own a place in the capital, and she had bought it outright.

Whether she had conned or deceived her way into it, for someone from an ordinary family to buy a home in the capital was enough to prove her capability.

Though it was only a small one-bedroom apartment, in a city where every inch of land was worth a fortune, it was something countless people could only dream of their entire lives.

Lu Fan happily took a lap around the apartment, which was less than fifty square meters. Though small, it was exquisitely decorated, and Liu Ruyan had good taste; every piece of decor was top-notch.

The moment he entered, this fool had Liu Ruyan register his fingerprint, meaning he could come stay here anytime in the future.

At school, he could take Liu Mengran to his own apartment. Outside school, he could come to Liu Ruyan's place.

Switching between two apartments—what a blissful little life that would be.

The tiny living room even had a walk-in closet, its cabinets packed with luxury clothes, bags, and shoes.

As the campus belle of Long University, Liu Ruyan had made perfect use of her advantages. All these things had been contributions from rich suckers; she had not spent a single cent herself.

What this big idiot Lu Fan did not know was that he had contributed more than half of the money for this apartment.

Back then, he had more than two million yuan in cash, all of which Liu Ruyan had coaxed out of him with one excuse after another. That was how this apartment came to be.

"Come here. Take off this young master's shoes!"

Lu Fan sprawled carelessly on the sofa and crooked a finger at the uneasy Liu Ruyan.

Liu Ruyan's stunning face instantly went pale. Not daring to resist in the slightest, she stepped forward, half-knelt, and tremblingly reached out to remove Lu Fan's shoes.

"Get some hot water and wash my feet!"

"I... Lu Fan, please don't humiliate me..."

Liu Ruyan raised her head miserably, hoping Lu Fan would spare her because she looked so pitiful.

"How the hell am I humiliating you? Washing my feet counts as humiliation now? Do you need me to remind you how you treated me back then?"

"Did you trick me ten times or twenty? You deceived and humiliated me over and over in front of all our classmates, and you even had people film it and post the videos online."

"It was because you, Liu Ruyan, started it that the whole school found a way to get rich. Then they all took turns grabbing hold of me and fleecing me for everything I had."

"The number of times I was scammed could be made into a TV series with thousands of episodes. You, Liu Ruyan, were the one behind all of it."

"And now you're acting pitiful? Was there even one person back then who pitied me?"

"Do you know how much money I was cheated out of at school alone? More than twenty million. You people scammed over twenty million yuan in cash out of me at school alone, not to mention all the other valuables."

"And you still have the nerve to cry to me? I'm the one who should be crying, okay?"

The more Lu Fan spoke, the angrier he became. His mind was filled with scenes of being cheated out of money again and again.

The people who had cheated him were all his classmates. They were even worse than people outside school. When he went out to buy food, even delivery vendors had not ripped him off that badly.

"I'm sorry, Lu Fan!"

Liu Ruyan pressed her lips together and lowered her head. She brought over a basin of hot water and began washing Lu Fan's feet.

Unfortunately, Top Campus Belle Liu had never done anything like this before. Her long manicured nails scratched Lu Fan so badly that the corners of his mouth kept twitching. In the end, unable to bear it any longer, he washed them himself a few times and had Liu Ruyan wipe them dry.

"Come on, into the bedroom!"

Lu Fan entered the bedroom first. The moment that would decide her fate had arrived. Liu Ruyan's delicate body trembled slightly, while her exquisitely beautiful face turned deathly pale.

After hesitating for a minute, she finally followed him into the bedroom. Lu Fan sat on her pink bedsheets, staring at her with blazing eyes.

"Lu Fan, how about... we eat something first? It's already past four in the afternoon, and it's not even dark yet! Besides, I'm hungry too."

"Liu Ruyan, what food could possibly taste better to me right now than you? Since when did sleeping with a campus belle depend on whether it's day or night?"

Lu Fan's wicked gaze swept ruthlessly over Liu Ruyan's entire body, making her tremble uncontrollably.

"Come here! Don't fucking tell me you don't know how to serve a man. I understand a woman like you better than anyone."

"You may have kept your virginity, but you've definitely done plenty of other things."

"Come here!"

Lu Fan's words were like an imperial decree that could not be defied. Liu Ruyan gritted her teeth and walked before him as though resigned to her fate.

Lu Fan had given all his tenderness to Liu Mengran, while the darkness in his heart was all unleashed upon Liu Ruyan.

With Liu Ruyan, he had no need to hide any of the darkness within him. Everything he did was driven by revenge.

Liu Ruyan sobbed softly with empty eyes, her delicate makeup smeared by tears.

Lu Fan, meanwhile, tilted his head back with a lecherous expression, his unfocused eyes fixed on the chandelier above.

But when he lowered his head and saw Liu Ruyan's miserable state in his arms, a trace of pity rose within him. No matter what, this woman had ultimately become his. She must have been feeling terrible right now.

Her virgin body had been her bargaining chip for climbing the social ladder. She had guarded it for so long, only for him to take it from her. She definitely could not accept it.

"Liu Ruyan, what the hell are you crying for? Is being with me really that humiliating?"

"Weren't you always scheming to marry into a wealthy family? Now that you're with me, even if you can't be the wife, being a kept mistress isn't bad either."

"I'm not ugly, and I'm definitely not short on money. Did you think that just because you swindled away all my money, I became some loser? How naive!"

"My father may be gone, but the backup plan he left with my Aunt is enough for me to spend the rest of my life without a care."

"There's a saying: a starving camel is still bigger than a monkey. I, Lu Fan, may be down on my luck, but I was once part of the capital's most elite wealthy family."

"Now that I've returned to normal, I'll definitely take back everything that should have been mine. From now on, just be my little woman behind the scenes, but don't you dare play any tricks on me."

"And get rid of all those so-called fair-weather friends you had before. You're not allowed to contact any of them again."

"Just stay by my side and be your Top Campus Belle. From now on, I'll cover all your expenses."

Lu Fan went on and on, only to realize he was talking to a wall. Liu Ruyan still sobbed quietly with vacant eyes, as though she had not heard a word he said.

His stomach growled, and only then did Lu Fan remember that neither of them had eaten. He picked up his phone and ordered a huge spread of takeout.

Everything he ordered was expensive delicacies. He only looked at what he liked and did not look at the prices at all.

Just as he was about to hold Top Campus Belle Liu and spend a little more time with her, he suddenly remembered the online fraud case he had seen at Liu Xiaoyan's place.

After finding that website, Lu Fan logged in directly on his phone.

The moment he opened the webpage, the sight before him made Lu Fan's eyes widen. Money-making schemes, entertainment, online videos, premium content—there was so much that it made his head spin.

Out of curiosity, he casually opened a section, only to find it filled with restricted content that made Lu Fan furious.
