Who Would Fall in Love After Being Reborn?

Chapter 19: Don’t Pretend on Behalf of Your Adoptive Father

TL: Etude

See, I told you I wasnt lying.

Guo Zihangs last words brought silence to the entire group.

Now, no one was speaking anymore, not even Qin Ziang, who was known for arrogantly offering to pay for everyone in the cafeteria.

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

Three hundred thousand yuan was an amount far beyond what high school students could comprehend.

They would be over the moon to have just ten yuan in their pockets, let alone three hundred thousand it would be like shooting out of the Milky Way for them.

But then again, it was typical of Guo Zihang to brag on behalf of Jiang Qin, as he always clung to him, even back in school. However, it made no sense for Huang Ying and Yang Shuan to boost Jiang Qins claims without reason.

So, was everything Guo Zihang said true?

But how could we, who feel the pinch even for a yellow diamond membership (TL: I think the author is referring to his readers not subscribing to his novel lol), believe that Jiang Qin, that scoundrel, dared to spend three hundred thousand?

Are we even attending the same high school?

Among them, Chu Siqi was the most shocked. She couldnt fathom that Jiang Qin had done so much during the summer vacation, and every bit of it seemed unbelievable.

While everyone else was idly chatting online, accumulating game hours, stealing vegetables in FarmVille, or agonizing over puppy love, Jiang Qin was already engaged in business dealings worth tens of thousands.

Yet, he never boasted about it, as if earning hundreds of thousands was nothing to show off.

Thinking about this, Chu Siqi suddenly felt Jiang Qin become distant in her heart, evoking an unsettling feeling of unattainability.

It turned out he wasnt just hiding to avoid embarrassment.

He was genuinely doing business.

While others wasted their time, proving their maturity through drinking, he had transformed into a person who dazzled the entire class.

After a moment of distraction, Chu Siqi suddenly felt a bit angry.

Jiang Qin didnt share such important matters with her, telling Guo Zihang but deliberately hiding it from her. This was too much. He used to share everything with her!

Guo Zihang, tell me honestly, where did his money come from?

I already told you at the last gathering. Jiang Qin has always been in business, obviously he earned it.

What kind of business can make three hundred thousand?

I wouldnt know that. If I did, wouldnt I have made three hundred thousand myself?

But didnt you say the business was selling boxed lunches? I saw you guys selling them before!

Guo Zihang replied with a string of ellipses: Old Lady Mao (Lao Ganma chilis) used to sell wontons, did that stop her from starting a company?

At this point, Qin Ziang became a bit restless: Impossible, I dont even have three hundred thousand, where would he get that much? Nonsense!

Guo Zihang sent a smiley face: Dont compare yourself to Jiang Qin. Relying on your father isnt a skill.

What are you guys talking about? Wang Huiru suddenly popped up from her lurking state.

Chu Siqi: Huiru, theyre saying Jiang Qin spent three hundred thousand to rent half a bar!

Ah????

Do you find it hard to believe too?

After hesitating for a while, Wang Huiru replied: Not really, I saw something even more unbelievable on Jiang Qin a few days ago.

Chu Siqi instantly sent a surprised emoji: What else happened?

Huiru, did you lose connection?

No, no, I was just joking.

Wang Huiru hesitated and decided not to reveal the matter between Jiang Qin and Feng Nanshu.

Three hundred thousand yuan was indeed shocking, but no matter how astonishing, it was just a number. Everyone would marvel, but only at the magnitude of the figure. However, Feng Nanshu was different from a mere number; she was a living, breathing white moonlight. Revealing this would undoubtedly cause an explosion in the group chat, and within a night, the entire school would know.

Jiang Qin was also observing the group chat at this time, mainly because the QQ messages were too annoying. Despite his attempts, he couldnt manage to mute them, wondering if it was because the 2008 version of QQ lacked this feature.

If it were Qin Ziang, he would have definitely jumped in to show off by now.

Ah, yes, yes, it was all my doing. I am that awesome!

But Jiang Qin disdained such behavior and lacked such a desire for attention.

Why would he bother showing off, only to end up offering a dozen free bar seats? Was he that idle?

Moreover, he felt he needed to clarify to Guo Zihang that not showing off was because he found such things too childish. Couldnt Guo stop acting as his stand-in?

But it was a bit pleasing, after all, to have someone bragging for him.

Jiang Qin held down the hang-up button, waiting for the screen to turn off, then walked into the Jizhou City Library carrying a bag of snacks.

Half a month had passed since returning from the hot spring town, and he hadnt seen the little rich lady again, nor had they chatted much on QQ. With the bar not yet open, he decided to stop by the library.

Upon reaching the second floor, he immediately spotted the little rich lady.

Today, she wore a white ladys dress with a small black bow tie, sitting quietly and gracefully, holding a thick book. Her gaze, however, wasnt on the book but out the window.

Since returning from the hot spring town, Feng Nanshu had been coming to the library daily, intending to finish the last part of The Magic-Eyed Girl Peggy Sue.

This installment was said to be the most interesting in the series.

It told of a catastrophic disaster on the planet Kandata.

A monster, asleep underground for a billion years, awoke and began frantically searching for crevices with its thousands of tentacles, snatching away sleeping children from their rooms.

As it grew over time, it became so enormous that it cracked open roads and caused cities to collapse.

Peggy Sue and her companions, after investigation, were shocked to discover that the planet was originally an egg, one that had been incubating in the universe for billions of years. The life that emerged on this planet was the real outsider.

If this were before, Feng Nanshu would have been utterly engrossed in the book.

Such a 396-page book would have taken her just three afternoons to finish.

But now

It had been half a month, and she hadnt even finished half of it.

Even the parts she had read seemed blurry in her memory.

Feng Nanshu looked out the sunny window at the lush trees, suddenly aware of an indescribable loneliness in her heart.

Just then, the chair opposite her was pulled out.

Startled, Feng Nanshu turned to see Jiang Qin sitting down silently, placing the bag of snacks gently on the table.

Ive been almost dead with busyness these past few days. Finally, Ive got some time to rest. How have you been lately, little rich lady?

Jiang Qin, I think Im really feeling a bit lonely.

A flicker of confusion passed through Feng Nanshus cool gaze.

Reading alone had always been her most basic way of life. Jiang Qins arrival was just an unexpected event in her life, like a peanut accidentally mixed into a vat of rice. Removing the peanut should leave the vat as it was, right?

But she couldnt understand why her life suddenly felt so lonely.
