Don't Pretend to be Awesome for My Adopted Father, Okay?

"See? I told you I wasn't lying."

Guo Zihang's last sentence plunged the entire group into silence.

No one spoke anymore, not even Qin Ziang, that idiot who shouted in the cafeteria, 'Drinks are on me!' They didn't say a word.

To be honest, at that moment, they would rather suspect their eyes were deceiving them than believe what Guo Zihang, Huang Ying, and Yang Shuan said was true.

Three hundred thousand, that was not a sum high school students could touch.

They could jump for joy if they had ten yuan in their pockets, but three hundred thousand would send them rocketing out of the galaxy.

But then again, it was normal for Guo Zihang to brag for Jiang Qin because he was Jiang Qin's little follower, always had been back in school, but there was no reason for Huang Ying and Yang Shuan to help Jiang Qin brag.

So, what Guo Zihang said was true? But we feel the pinch just subscribing to a Yellow Diamond membership, how dare that dog Jiang Qin spend three hundred thousand? Did we even go to the same high school?

The most shocked of them all was actually Chu Siqi. She never imagined that Jiang Qin had done so much during the summer vacation, and every single thing seemed unbelievable.

While everyone else was chatting online at home, accumulating online time, stealing vegetables in Happy Farm, and agonizing over puppy love, Jiang Qin was already doing business worth hundreds of thousands.

But he never publicized it, as if hundreds of thousands wasn't something worth showing off.

Thinking of this, Chu Siqi suddenly felt that Jiang Qin had become distant in her heart, giving her a sense of unease that she couldn't reach him.

So, he wasn't avoiding everyone because he was afraid of losing face.

He was really doing business.

While others were wasting their time, trying to prove they were mature by drinking, he had transformed into someone who amazed the whole class.

After a moment of absent-mindedness, Chu Siqi suddenly felt a little angry.

Jiang Qin didn't tell her about such an important thing. Even Guo Zihang knew, but he deliberately kept it from her. That was too much. He used to share everything with her! "Guo Zihang, tell me honestly, where did his money come from?"

"I said it at the gathering before, Jiang Qin has been doing business all along, so he must have earned it."

"What kind of business can earn three hundred thousand?"

"I don't know, if I knew, wouldn't I have earned three hundred thousand too?"

"But didn't you say the business was selling lunch boxes? I saw you selling lunch boxes before!"

Guo Zihang typed a string of ellipses: "Lao Gan Ma used to sell wontons, did that stop them from starting a company?"

Qin Ziang couldn't sit still at this point: "Impossible, I don't even have three hundred thousand, where would he get three hundred thousand? Bullshit!"

Guo Zihang sent a smiling face: "Don't compare yourself to Jiang Qin, relying on your dad doesn't count as skill."

"What are you guys talking about?" Wang Huiru suddenly emerged from her diving state.

Chu Siqi: "Huiru, they said Jiang Qin spent three hundred thousand to rent half a bar!"

"Ah???"

"You also find it unbelievable, right?"

Wang Huiru hesitated for a long time before replying: "It's alright, I saw something even more unbelievable on Jiang Qin a few days ago."

Chu Siqi instantly sent a surprised expression: "What else is there?"

"..."

"Huiru, did you drop offline?"

"It's nothing, it's nothing, I was just kidding."

Wang Huiru hesitated again and again, but still didn't reveal the matter between Jiang Qin and Feng Nanshu.

Three hundred thousand was indeed shocking enough, but no matter how shocking it was, it was just a string of numbers. Everyone would marvel, but at most they would marvel at the size of the number. But Feng Nanshu was different from three hundred thousand, she was a living, breathing white moonlight. If this was said, the group would definitely explode, and the whole school would know in less than a night.

In fact, Jiang Qin was also watching the group chat at this time. The QQ messages were just too annoying. He tried several times but couldn't block them. He didn't know if the 08 version of QQ didn't have this function.

If it were Qin Ziang, he would definitely jump out and show off in a hurry.

Ah yes, yes, that's what I did, I'm just that awesome! But Jiang Qin disdained to do so, and didn't have that much desire to show off.

Jump out and show off, and have to give away a dozen free bar seats? Am I that bored? In addition, he felt that he needed to explain to Guo Zihang that the reason I don't show off is because I think this kind of thing is too childish, can you please stop always acting as a mouthpiece for your godfather.

Turn off your phone.

Otherwise, you'll just want to keep looking at it.

I have to say, having someone help you show off is actually pretty cool.

Jiang Qin held down the power button, waited for the screen to go dark, and then walked into the Jizhou City Library with a bag of snacks.

Since returning from Hot Spring Town, half a month had passed in the blink of an eye. He hadn't seen the little rich woman again, and they had barely chatted on QQ. Taking advantage of the bar being closed, he decided to stop by and see her.

As soon as he reached the second floor of the library, he spotted the little rich woman.

Today, she was wearing a white ladylike dress with a small black bow tie, quiet and well-behaved, holding a thick book in her hands, but her eyes weren't on the book, but on the scenery outside the window.

In fact, since returning from Hot Spring Town, Feng Nanshu had been coming to the library every day, wanting to finish the last book of The Magic Eye Girl Peggy Sue.

This one was said to be the most interesting in the entire series.

It told the story of a terrible disaster on Kandata Planet.

A monster that had been sleeping underground for hundreds of millions of years awakened from its slumber, using thousands of tentacles to frantically search for cracks in the ground, snatching sleeping children from their rooms.

And as time went on, this monster grew bigger and bigger, causing asphalt roads to crack everywhere and cities to collapse one after another.

After an investigation by Peggy Sue and her group, they were shocked to discover that this planet was originally an egg, an egg that had been incubating in the universe for hundreds of millions of years, and that the life that had accidentally emerged on this planet was the outsider.

If it had been before, Feng Nanshu would definitely have been completely engrossed in it.

Such a 396-page book would only take her three afternoons to finish.

But...

But it had been half a month, and she hadn't even read half of it.

Even the parts she had read felt blurry when she tried to recall them.

Feng Nanshu looked out at the sunny window and the lush foliage of the trees, and suddenly realized a loneliness in her heart that she couldn't quite explain.

Just then, the chair opposite her was suddenly pulled out.

Feng Nanshu snapped back to her senses in a fluster and saw Jiang Qin sitting down without a word, gently placing the bag of snacks in his hand.

"I've been so busy these past few days, I finally have time to rest. Little rich woman, how have you been lately?"

"Jiang Qin, I think I'm really a little lonely."

A trace of confusion flashed in Feng Nanshu's clear eyes.

Reading alone was originally her most basic state of life, and Jiang Qin's appearance was just an accident in her life, like a grain of peanut suddenly mixed into a rice jar. Shouldn't it still be a jar of rice after the peanut is picked out?

But she couldn't understand why this life had suddenly become lonely.

Seeking readership, seeking collections, seeking comments.
