Let's Squander A Billion First!

Chapter 453: Chapter 453 Golden Tycoon (18)
 

Jin Chen squeezed through the doorway, dumping the stuff his mother had asked him to bring onto the table.

Upon seeing the items on the table, Jin Chen’s mouth twitched, “Brother, when did you become so corrupt? What happened to your integrity, thriftiness, and virtue?!”

The table was cluttered with a variety of luxury goods.

Jin Chen had seen these items often enough to recognize them at a glance.

“You must be mistaking me for someone else,” Jin Chen responded coolly.

“…”

He too felt that he must have mistaken his brother.

Damn it!

It was bad enough that he’d snatched away his Little Fairy, and he did it so brazenly!

But what could he do?

He had to let it go, even if it hurt, because that was his own brother.

Otherwise, he’d be beaten to a pulp.

Wuwuwu, his Little Fairy.

So infuriating.

“I’m returning to school tomorrow,” Jin Chen mentioned the important matter at hand.

“With your IQ, it doesn’t make a difference whether you study or not.”

“…” His IQ was perfectly fine! Jin Chen glared at his brother, but remembering he still needed a favor, he quickly plastered on a smile, “Brother…”

“No money to lend,” Jin Ning cut him off before Jin Chen could even ask.

Jin Chen’s hiatus at home was due to getting into a fight at school.

After sending someone to the hospital, Mr. Jin and Mother Jin, through a family meeting, unanimously decided to cut off Jin Chen’s allowance.

Although Jin Chen didn’t understand what his allowance had to do with the fight, the result was that he was so broke he needed to borrow money from Jin Ning to get by.

“Aren’t we brothers?”

Jin Ning replied swiftly, “The gulf in our intelligence proves otherwise.”

“…”

Despite claiming he wouldn’t lend the money, Jin Ning eventually handed over a card after Jin Chen’s persistent nagging.

The money, said to be a loan, likely wouldn’t be returned.

After securing his spending money, Jin Chen was all smiles as he served Jin Ning tea and ran errands for him like a flatterer.

“By the way, remember to attend our cousin’s wedding,” Jin Ning frowned.

“Brother, even though the people from the old house look down on us and aren’t decent, our cousin has always been good to us. It’s her wedding, after all. She specifically called to make sure you’d attend,” Jin Chen said.

“… I know.”

“Don’t worry, I’ll have Mother arrange a bodyguard for you. If anyone dares to talk, they’ll get beaten so bad even their parents won’t recognize them!” Jin Chen waved his fist, protecting his brother earnestly.

Jin Ning: “…”

Jin Ning managed to send away the chattering Jin Chen, who also wanted to drag Chuzheng into the conversation.

–

Jin Ning’s father had a falling out with the Family Head when he was young.

Starting from scratch with funds secretly given to him by his mother, his wealth could now be said to have exceeded that of the Jin Family Head.

However, since the Jin Family Head bore the name of a century-old distinguished family and Mr. Jin wasn’t very high profile, most people still considered the Family Head’s family to be more prestigious.

The Family Head’s side particularly looked down on Mr. Jin’s household.

Jin Ning looked at the wedding invitation for a long time without a word.

“Shall I accompany you?”

“Hmm?” Jin Ning came back to his senses, “What?”

“The wedding,” Chuzheng said, “I’ll go with you.”

While Chuzheng seemed to be asking, it wasn’t really a question; she had already decided.

Jin Ning pursed his lips, considered several thoughts, and finally nodded, “Mm.”

The Jin Family Head’s residence was not in the same city.

They needed to go in advance, and since neither Mr. Jin nor Mother Jin would attend, it ended up being just Chuzheng and Jin Ning.

Chuzheng took Jin Ning to the airport.

When they got out of the car, Chuzheng handed him a mask.

“What’s this for?”

“Smog,” Chuzheng said solemnly.

Jin Ning looked up at the sky. The sky was simply a bit foggy.

And they were about to head inside anyway, was it necessary?

Jin Ning didn’t take it, so Chuzheng leaned over and put it on him herself.

A passing young girl snapped photos with her phone, capturing the image of the young woman bending slightly, her eyes earnest and attentive as she secured a mask on the man.

The fog blurred the background as if they were the only two left in the world.

The young girl who took the photo instantly sent it to her roommate group chat.

[White Fatty: Look at me, look at me, I found a national beauty at the airport!!!]

[Roommate One: Where’s the face?]

[Roommate Two: Thumbs down!]

[Roommate Three: Even though I can’t see the face, just look at that temperament, obviously not just anybody. That girl’s profile is so pretty, is she a celebrity?]

[White Fatty: Really so beautiful! I took the photo too late, didn’t capture her wailing.]

The girl was crying her heart out in the chat when suddenly someone snatched her phone away.

“You…” The girl looked up, wanting to scold whoever was so rude, but froze the next second.

One of the subjects of her stealthy photo session was holding her phone, his long fingers tapped the screen a few times, then handed it back to her.

“Don’t photograph him, thank you.”

The girl’s voice was so ice-cold that even the words of thanks felt wrapped in frost, bone-chilling.

The young girl stood there stunned.

[White Fatty: Aaaaahhhh!!!!]

–

Chuzheng walked back to Jin Ning’s side as if nothing had happened, noticing Jin Ning glancing elsewhere, her fingers quickly found the top of his head and gently rubbed it.

Her little face was tense.

So comfortable!

“Miss Chuzheng, you shouldn’t touch a man’s head carelessly, haven’t you heard?”

“No.”

Chuzheng was about to withdraw her hand.

But after Jin Ning said that, she rubbed his head two more times.

So what if I touch it?

What are you going to do, hit me?

In such a public space, Jin Ning couldn’t behave aggressively towards Chuzheng; his eyes, however, darkened a bit.

Seeing her chance, Chuzheng quickly guided him inside.

Jin Ning thought they’d stay in the airport for a while, but as soon as they entered, someone ran over.

“Miss Xia, Mr. Jin, this way please.”

Chuzheng followed the person, unfazed.

The man led the way while on the phone: “Miss Xia and Mr. Jin have arrived, prepare for takeoff.”

Jin Ning: “…”

They were the ones being waited for, not the other way around.

Jin Ning couldn’t help but glance at Chuzheng.

Just how wealthy was she?

Why would such a person come to his side?

As she said… to be a good person?

Or to be a good person just for him?

On the plane, the flight attendants served only the two of them. As soon as Chuzheng got on the plane, she lay down and didn’t move, projecting a ‘don’t bother me’ attitude.

Jin Ning sat outside, reading a book.

A flight attendant approached with a polite smile: “Sir…”

Jin Ning put up a finger to his lips, signaling her not to speak, then shook his head politely.

The flight attendant glanced at Chuzheng and left with a smile.

Yet internally, she felt as if her heart was bleeding.

Such a handsome man already had a girlfriend?

But that Miss was also beautiful.

Together, they looked exceptionally well-matched.

The only regrettable part was that the gentleman had trouble with his legs.

Jin Ning put down his book and glanced at the girl beside him.

She seemed to be sound asleep.

The girl, with her eyes closed, seemed a bit less frosty, yet there was still an intimidating chill about her.

Jin Ning slowly extended his hand.

Just as his fingertips were about to touch the girl’s cheek, he was suddenly stopped.

The girl opened her eyes and glanced at him, her look clear and indifferent, devoid of any emotion.

“I…”

She took his hand, laid it in front of her, and closed her eyes again.
