Chapter 23

Overthinking Things

Chu Ning looked at the last friend request and was slightly stunned.

“What is this? Where did he get my contact information?”

However, Chu Ning didn’t think too much about it and left him hanging. She wasn’t in a hurry to agree.

The three classmates who transferred money to her all had the words “three days worth of tuition fee” written on the back.

“Xu Xi is quite interesting.”

Chu Ning thought about it and didn’t accept his 30,000 yuan. Instead, she directly returned it.

“We agreed on 1,000 yuan a day. If you do that, I’m not going tomorrow.” Chu Ning replied to him.

A few seconds later, Xu Xi replied.

“But I feel that you’ve been too helpful to me. I don’t think there’s any problem with this price.”

Looking at Xu Xi’s reply, Chu Ning felt amused.

“Shut up. If you don’t take it back, don’t come back tomorrow.”

Chu Ning gave an ultimatum.

“Alright.”

Xu Xi had no choice but to take back the 30,000 yuan and transfer another 3,000 yuan over. He even sent an aggrieved emoji at the end.

Chu Ning, who was lying on the bed, was overjoyed. In one night, she had obtained 9,000 yuan!

She believed that as long as she could obtain the first bucket of gold quickly, she would be able to earn money faster and faster!

Chu Ning slept soundly at night and didn’t have any dreams. The next morning, it was 6:30 am when she was woken up by the alarm.

Her room had the best lighting in the Chu family’s home. At this time during summer, the sunlight could penetrate through the gaps in the curtains and spread evenly.

She felt sticky as she wasn’t showered for the whole night, so the first thing she did after waking up was to wash up and take a bath.

Today, she didn’t take the bus. Chu Ning was prepared to take a taxi whenever she went out in the future. She wasn’t short of money!

“Oh right! Second Brother gave me some money yesterday!”

Chu Ning seemed to have suddenly remembered something. She opened her drawer and looked at a thick stack of red banknotes. She counted them and found that it was ten thousand yuan.

However, she had made up her mind. She couldn’t take this money.

Chu Huan wasn’t up yet, so Chu Ning took a hot shower and went to school happily. Of course, she didn’t take the 50 yuan that her parents had left on the table.

Once Chu Ning arrived at Jingyuan High School, she felt that the atmosphere today was a little different from usual. What she didn’t know was that at this moment, several female students, led by a girl, were walking toward her.

Chu Ning was walking toward her classroom when a voice suddenly came from behind her, “Stop!”

At first, Chu Ning thought that the other party wasn’t calling her, so she didn’t pay much attention to it. She continued to walk forward.

“I told you to stop. Didn’t you hear me?! Chu Ning!”

This time, Chu Ning heard clearly that the other party was calling her.

She turned around with a calm expression and said, “What’s wrong? What’s the matter?”

“You still think you’re the eldest daughter of the Ye Family? Don’t you see what kind of status you have now? How dare you talk to Sister Hong like that!”

Chu Ning looked thoughtful.

She knew about Luo Hong. She was a senior in the third year of high school. She was bossy in school and did whatever she wanted. Other than the teachers, she didn’t take other students seriously.

Of course, Luo Hong had something in common with Chu Ning in her previous life, which was her persistence and pursuit of Yan Shen. They weren’t the only ones who liked Yan Shen. Many girls in school were charmed by Yan Shen. However, before Chu Ning came to this world, Luo Hong and the original host were the biggest rivals.

“Oh, you mean Yan Shen, right? If you like him, then go and pursue him. I’m quitting. From now on, you got one less competitor. Also, I wish you success.”

Chu Ning said slowly and nonchalantly.

“Do you think I’ll believe you? This might be another dirty trick of yours. Don’t try to lie to me!”

Luo Hong said loudly. She had no intention of letting her go.

“Then what do you want?”

Chu Ning asked curiously.

“Dop out of this school!”

Luo Hong said fiercely.

“Why do all of you want me to drop out of school… I’m speechless. I don’t care about this lousy high school. I can drop out, but if you guys tell me to, I’m sorry. I won’t!”

Chu Ning was exasperated, but she suddenly revealed a smile.

“Sure, I’m now the child of a poor family. You have money, and your family is powerful. Then go and tell the school to expel me. That’s fine, right?”
