Chapter 36 (2/2)

“No, nothing,” said Mu Wenling after a moment.

“Okay, then I’ll see you when I see you.”

With that. Chen Hansheng left.

Hu Xiuping and Mu Wenling looked at each other. After a long while, Hu Xiuping said, “I thought he would thank us.”

If Chen Hansheng was able to get Feng Jihua’s money back, he might have already seen through them and knew that they were all just using each other.

“I really don’t know what Qi Wei was thinking. Do you think we would be able to control him?”

While other students struggled to adjust to the pace of university life, Chen Hansheng was already a class president and deputy officer of his department’s students’ union external relations committee.

…

On the morning of October 1, Chen Hansheng, Xiao Rongyu, Wang Zibo, and Gao Jialiang were standing at the east gate of the bus station with their luggage.

“Your dad doesn’t have to pick us up. We could have just taken the night bus,” said Chen Hansheng while wiping sweat. The October weather in Jianye was still quite hot.

“If you don’t want a lift, you can take the bus now,” said Xiao Rongyu with a pout.

Chen Hansheng didn’t want to go back for the National Day holiday, but he couldn’t stand Liang Meijuan’s nags over the phone. In the end, he had to oblige her.

Coincidentally, Xiao Rongyu’s father was planning to pick up his daughter and drive back with her to Port City. Since he knew the people in the group, he offered to let them hop on too.

“Look, I think that seven-seater car with the Port City license plate is Mr. Xiao. Hansheng, you have to be more mature. Don’t forget to be a gentleman. We are university students now.”

Gao Jialiang did not let go of any opportunity to put himself out there, especially when it meant looking down on Chen Hansheng.

“Ugh, what a sycophant.” Chen Hansheng complained softly and spat.

Xiao Rongyu’s father also saw them and slowly drove over.

Gao Jialiang, who had just talked about being a gentleman was already ready to get in. Chen Hansheng knew what he was up to.

The most comfortable seats in a seven-seater car were the two single seats in the middle row. Xiao Rongyu would definitely occupy one of them, so the remaining one would put the person in a very advantageous position.

Once the car had stopped, Gao Jialang was ready to pounce. But Chen Hansheng immediately stopped him and said, “Let me get in first. I want to sit in the back.”

Gao Jialiang paused for a moment. Although he didn’t know why Chen Hansheng wanted to sit in the last row, it was true that last row seats should be the first to be occupied.

But in the time he was wondering about this, Chen Hansheng had already gotten into the car and sat in the very seat Gao Jialang had been aiming for.

Gao Jialang was dumbstruck. “Hansheng, I thought you wanted to sit in the last row.”

“Oh, I’ve had a change of mind,” said Chen Hansheng nonchalantly.

Based on the current seating arrangements, Wang Zibo immediately pulled open the front passenger seat door and sat in. Thus, the only seat left for Gao Jialang was the one in the last row.

“You’re in the way. Xiao Rongyu is still basking in the sun behind you, you know.”

Chen Hansheng ‘kindly’ gestured for Gao Jialiang to quickly get in the car.

In the end, Gao Jialiang had no choice but to grit his teeth as he complained. “Chen Hansheng, I’ll be damned if I believe you again in the future!”
