V4C17 – Richest Family (1/2)
“Long Live Class Leader Guan!!” The other students naturally didn’t know the sinister plans brewing inside Guan Yang’s mind, so they happily cheered for him.
“It seems your Class Leader is quite rich!” I said to Xu Xueyun with a smile as I looked towards the table filled with luxurious food and high-quality wine.
“That is to be expected. Guan Yang’s family isn’t from around here. His family is the richest family in Songjiang!” A boy next to Guan Yang spoke immediately.
“The richest family?” I intentionally made it sound exaggerated. There were many rich families in Songjiang, but none of them dared claim themselves the richest. Where did this brat get the guts to call his family the richest?
“I wonder where student Liu Lei is from? Have you heard about the Jiangdi Wanyang Industry of Songjian?” Now that Guan Yang found a topic to show off, he immediately tried to act big before me.
“Jiangdi Wanyang Industry?” I intentionally nodded and said, “I am also a native of Songjiang but never heard of any Jiangdi Wanyang Industry!”
“You……” Guan Yang still had the same smile as he immediately calmed down.
“Haha, let alone him, even the rest of us who have been with you for so many years haven’t heard of your families business! Everyone here is a student, so there isn’t much time to look into these matters, or care about the happenings of society!” Zhang Lou saw the scene had turned awkward, so he hurried to calm everything down. He also understood Guan Yang’s character, so he feared Guan Yang would retaliate against me. Therefore, when others weren’t paying attention, he signaled me through his eyes.
I smiled and stopped digging into Guan Yang’s wounds, but still added, “Hehe, my family has a small business, so it’s normal I haven’t heard about your industry. I hope student Guan Yang won’t take offense!”
“It’s no big deal!” Guan Yang waved his hand as he pretended to look magnanimous, while his heart calculated: It turns out the guy’s family background isn’t too good, and he’s also a native of Songjiang. Dealing with him won’t be a problem. No matter what I do to him, there won’t be any repercussions!
The reason Guan Yang was holding back a moment ago was that he thought I was a native of B City, and if I knew some flamboyant big shot around here, then he may end up kicking an iron plate! {TL Note: For those who forgot: B City is the Capital of the country. There are many hidden dragons and crouching tigers hidden all over the city.}
“The richest family in Songjiang. That’s really great! Won’t that also mean you don’t have to work at all in the future?” I pretended to be in admiration.
“Right! You can even say that my future wife and I will certainly have an easy life as we live in luxury!” Guan Yang said as he looked towards Xu Xueyun, but realized that Xu Xueyun didn’t even look at him.
“Wow! Husband, you look at others. While here we are, worrying about how to find work in the future!” A girl next to Guan Yang enviously said to the boy next to Guan Yang.
“Hehe, don’t be envious. Envying others is useless! It’s already a good thing that you could find someone like me. Young Master Guan only has a liking for Xu Xueyun in his heart and no one else!” This boy obviously had a very good relationship with Guan Yang. It could from his continuous praises he showered onto Guan Yang.
“Lu Jia, you shouldn’t say something like that. Others already have a boyfriend. What will you do if you cause some misunderstandings!” Guan Yang said with a wave of his hand. But in his heart, he was immensely pleased. This Lu Jia was his close buddy, and sometimes, the words he spoke were pleasing to the soul!
“Hey, buddy. Let me tell you that you must work harder to keep our school flower as your wife. Don’t let some better man steal her away! Ah, it’s hard to be a beauty’s man!” Lu Jia sighed and said to me with his good intentions.
