Chapter 219: Driving to School
Chapter 219
"Next time you want to go to a bar, I'll take you to Monkey's bar. It's safer there."
"Okay."
Meanwhile, Wang Zhong spent the entire night at the police station, looking deflated and nothing like his spirited self from the previous evening.
After a full day of negotiations by the Wang family, Wang Zhong was finally allowed to leave.
When he returned home, everyone was sitting in the living room. The head of the Wang family, who was also Wang Zhong's uncle, looked at him and angrily said, "Kneel down!"
Wang Zhong's legs gave way, and he fell to his knees. It looked painful just to watch.
Wang Xi looked at his incompetent nephew with disappointment, "Do you know who you offended last night?"
Wang Zhong shook his head.
Wang Xi struck him with a cane, "You offended someone without even knowing who they were? What, did you think Jing City belonged to the Wang Family?"
Wang Zhong kept his head down, not daring to speak. As Wang Xi was about to strike again, a woman stepped forward, "Stop hitting him, stop. My son knows he was wrong."
Wang Xi turned to the woman, "Sister-in-law, you need to keep your son in check! Do you know the consequences of offending the Chi Corporation?"
"He knows he was wrong, he knows. I'll make sure to keep him in line from now on."
...
Chu Yang was unaware of the commotion caused by the Wang family. She was busy writing her internship report. Reflecting on her internship experience, she realized there wasn't much to say. She went to work on time every day, made some spreadsheets, occasionally helped out, and accompanied Chi Yan to two banquets or cocktail parties.
Oh well, she thought, I'll embellish it a bit. I'll write that I followed the boss to discuss cooperation at the evening banquets, and that I completed tasks assigned by the supervisor on time. Yeah, that sounds good.
On Monday, Chu Yang woke up late and had to drive to school.
Her pink Maserati became a striking sight on campus, drawing many eyes. When the car stopped at the Literature Academy, many people paused to see who would step out.
When Chu Yang got out of the car, her classmates were shocked.
"Is that Chu Yang?"
"It is her!"
"Chu Yang, how come you drove here? And in such a... luxurious car." Chen Xixi approached, her hand reaching out to touch the car, but she asked first, "Can I touch it?"
Chu Yang nodded, "I woke up late this morning, so I had to drive."
"Did you buy this car?" Chen Xixi asked, caressing her dream car.
Chu Yang shook her head, "No, my boyfriend bought it."
Chen Xixi had a sudden realization, her face full of envy, "Oh, Chi Yan the campus heartthrob bought it. He must have given it to you as a gift. It's so beautiful, and even pink!"
Zhang Xinghai, who was nearby, also came over to touch the luxury car, "Yang, I'm so jealous of you. I asked my dad to buy me one, but he refused. Can I sit inside for a bit?"
"Go ahead."
"Wow!" Several girls sat in the car, touching everything. They were all very excited.
"Ah, I can now say I've been in a luxury car!"
"Let's take a photo!"
"Yes, yes, we'll post it on social media later."
Chu Yang stood by, watching them. There were still ten minutes before class, so there was time.
As everyone was happily taking photos, someone walked by and said disdainfully, "I don't know what you're all excited about. A car bought by a man, isn't that embarrassing?"
Everyone looked awkwardly at Chu Yang. Chu Yang turned to the newcomer, thought for a moment, but couldn't recall who she was.
"Excuse me, who are you?"
The girl was instantly angered, not expecting Chu Yang to not recognize her. Chen Xixi next to her immediately laughed and mocked, "Some people don't even have a man to rely on, what a joke!"
Zhang Xinghai nearby also said, "Exactly. Being able to rely on someone is also a kind of ability. Some people don't even have that."
The girl, fuming, turned to Chu Yang, "If you're so rich, why are you still taking poverty subsidies? Aren't you ashamed?"
"Hm? I remember I only took it once, and haven't since then." Moreover, she had donated all that money afterwards. Chu Yang looked at the girl, "How do you know I took poverty subsidies? What, do you think I should remain poor forever? Can't I earn money myself and become well-off in the future?" Although she wasn't very rich, she actually had over seven figures in her account, having taken on several big projects to buy a house.
Oh, and this didn't even include the pocket money given to her by Chi Yan's grandfather and Chairman Qian. She didn't know how much money was in those two cards as she had never used them.
Chen Xixi got out of the car, "Our class can give the poverty subsidy quota to whoever we want. What business is it of yours from another class? Do you live by the river? Why are you meddling so much? Besides, Chu Yang herself gave up the poverty subsidy quota." Each class had a limited number of subsidy spots, and as long as no one in the class had objections, it was fine.
The girl, unable to argue back, left in a huff.
Chen Xixi linked arms with Chu Yang, "It's almost time, let's go."
Chu Yang walked to the classroom with them, "Who was that just now?"
Chen Xixi replied, "Oh, that's Yang Qingyue from Class 3. You've always been the top student in our major, right? She's just jealous that you're always first. It's laughable, does she think she'd be first if you weren't here?"
Chu Yang: ...She hadn't expected that good grades would also make people jealous.
Walking into the classroom, Jin Yang was already in her seat and quickly waved to her.
Chu Yang went over and sat next to her. Jin Yang took out her phone, "Did you drive a pink Maserati here today? Look, everyone's talking about it in the group chat."
Chu Yang hadn't expected that driving to class would cause such a discussion, "What are they saying? If I had known, I wouldn't have driven here."
"Oh, they're just jealous. It's fine, drive it every day, let them be envious to death. I haven't even ridden in it yet. You have to give me a ride back to the dorm after class."
"No problem."
After two classes, Jin Yang linked arms with Chu Yang, "Did the little boss buy it for you?"
Chu Yang nodded, "Yes."
"As expected of the little boss. About that incident last time, Miya and the others were saying that when the little boss appeared, they all wanted to scream. They said he looked super handsome when he made his entrance! It felt like they were in a romance novel. I regret fainting. It's such a pity I didn't get to see it."
Chu Yang: ...She hadn't paid attention at the time, only thinking about how angry Chi Yan was.
Chen Xixi and Zhang Xinghai also came over, asking, "What's going on? We need to head back to the dorm. Could you give us a ride?" They looked at Chu Yang with big, expectant eyes.
Chu Yang readily agreed, as it was a small favor.
Soon, the three of them excitedly sat in the Maserati. "Ah, this must be the joy of having a rich sugar momma," they gushed.
"Can we put the top down?" one of them asked.
Chu Yang pressed a button, and the car transformed into a convertible. The three passengers squealed with delight.
"Let's go for a joyride!" they suggested.
Chu Yang started driving, cruising along the campus roads. The other three were beyond thrilled. Every person they passed turned to look, with some even taking out their phones to snap photos.
