Hu Qingsong’s mouth twitched a few times. Recalling what Xue Chao had said before, he suddenly called out, “Eldest Brother Tang, I want to see your garage. Xue Chao said you have good cars here. Ehh, Yue Kai, what are you staring dully for?”

Looking blankly at Tang Xiu, Yue Kai moved his lips, murmuring, “Eldest Brother Tang’s villa is one of the most luxurious villas in Bluestar Villa Complex. I told all of you before that there are some villas here priced above nine digits. This is exactly one of them.”

“Hiss…” Everyone gasped for cold air after hearing this.

Nine digits… that was hundreds of millions!

A villa worth hundreds of millions of yuan just for Tang Xiu to have a place to stay when he was studying in Shanghai; how rich was his family, exactly?

“Don’t look distracted like that, will ya? Let’s go inside!” Tang Xiu said with a smile.

Hu Qingsong, who hadn’t forgotten what he just asked, quickly pulled on Tang Xiu, and said loudly, “Eldest Brother Tang, don’t ignore me! Just show us your garage quickly! I wanna make sure whether old Xue was boasting or not.”

Tang Xiu hesitated for a moment before pressing the garage key button. In any case, everyone already knew that this was his villa, and not how many cars were there! Since they wanted to see them, he might as well let them have a look just the same.

As the electric garage door opened, Hu Qingsong, Yue Kai, and the others rushed towards it. Only Tang Xiu and Mu Wanying stayed in their spots.

“You don’t seem to want everyone to know that you have a villa here, do you, Tang Xiu?” Mu Wanying asked in a soft voice.

“We are fellow students. I was afraid their feelings would be affected due to money and things of value.” Tang Xiu produced a wry smile and said, “But since Xue Chao has talked about this inadvertently, I think it won’t be good to keep concealing it. Otherwise, they would have a knot in their hearts once they learn about this one day. Therefore, just let them know right away, then!”

“That idea of yours is correct, if you ask me,” Mu Wanying said with a smile, “Perhaps after they learn that there’s such a wealth disparity between you and them, maybe they will be a bit envious or jealous. Envious people can be friends, while the jealous ones will slowly become estranged. But one day when they learn by themselves that you turned out to have a villa here, along with many luxury cars, even though your family or you yourself are very rich, maybe they will really have a knot inside their hearts. They will think that you never even thought of them as friends since you were concealing everything from them.”

“That’s right!” Tang Xiu nodded.

“Heavens! Am I not dreaming? Four parking spaces for four luxurious cars in the garage, and each of them is worth tens of millions! God dammit! If I knew that Eldest Brother Tang had these many luxurious cars, why would I buy that small broken car?!” Hu Qingsong’s mournful voice full of thick northeastern accent came from the garage.

“What luxurious and extravagant cars! Eldest Brother Tang is simply a rich bachelor! Just… just the total value of these four cars is something tons of people are unable to obtain in their lifetime! O heaven! O Earth! Why am I not born a woman? If I were one, I have to marry Eldest Brother Tang and become the rich lady!” Zhao Liang roared out after Hu Qingsong.

Even Li Xinjie exclaimed, “WOW, these cars are so handsome! If I could have one of them, I’m afraid I would have fallen into a dream and woke up smiling.”

Outside, Tang Xiu and Mu Wanying exchanged glances. While Tang Xiu had a forced wry smile all over his face, Mu Wanying had a smile with hints of teasing, as she said, “Well, I daresay that if you don’t warn them not to expose it to bystanders, I’m afraid most of the students studying in our university will find out that a nouveau riche freshman has silently come to study in their campus. By then, you will become a hot potato, and the girls will be in hot pursuit of you. I’m afraid they will be as numerous as the carps crossing the river.”

“Rest assured!” Tang Xiu forced a smile and said, “I’ll find a way to make them zip their mouths.”

Quickly, Yue Kai and the others came out of the garage. Their eyes lit up when they looked at Tang Xiu. Straightforward as he always was, Yue Kai said, “Eldest Brother Tang, you gotta lend me one of your luxurious cars to flirt with girls.”

“Yea, I also need one!”

“Me too!”

Hu Qingsong and Zhao Liang spoke out in unison.

“No problem with that. But you gotta swear to me that you must never disclose anything you hear and see tonight to anyone, ever!” Tang Xiu said with a smile, “I don’t want unnecessary troubles because of my house and cars.”

“Sure thing!”

“I promise!”

“No problem!”

The trio promised enthusiastically.

As for Xue Chao, he scratched the back of his head, and said in a muffled voice, “I don’t have a driver’s license, neither do I like to pick up girls. These cars probably don’t have any use for me.”

“Well, if you work hard, I can help speak some good things for you, so you can have your salary doubled,” Tang Xiu chuckled and spoke to him.

“Hooray! Long live Boss Tang!” Xue Chao got excited immediately.

Tang Xiu then shifted his gaze toward Li Xinjie and Hu Wei, and said with a smile, “As for you, beauties; I hope you can help to keep it secret.”

A cunning glint flashed in Li Xinjie’s eyes. She stretched three fingers and said, “If you can agree to three conditions, I promise you I won’t reveal everything I see tonight to anyone.”

“You’re really ruthless, girl.” Tang Xiu forced a smile and said, “Go say it. I won’t decline if it’s within my capabilities.”

“First, you gotta treat me to a meal for a week. No need to be extravagant, though. Just having a bite in the campus cafeteria will do,” Li Xinjie laughed and continued, “The second one is, you gotta spare some time to give me a ride with that hooded supercar of yours to stroll around the campus.”

Seeing Li Xinjie stopped talking up to there, Tang Xiu immediately nodded and said, “Treating for meals is not a problem. The task of driving to take you for a ride can be given to Yue Kai and Hu Qingsong. Tell me the third one.”

“I haven’t thought about it enough. I’ll tell you later.” Li Xinjie smiled and said, “However, if you can promise me these three conditions, I can help you if you want to pursue our first belle Mu in the future, though.”

Tang Xiu secretly rolled his eyes. Although Mu Wanying was indeed beautiful like a fairy, he didn’t have the slightest of the kind of feeling between man and woman toward her. Speaking about pursuing her? What a joke!

Immediately, he turned to look at Hu Wei, and asked, “What about you?”
