g corridor, it coincided with the peak period for receiving guests. Outside, beautiful hostesses stood in two rows in the lobby, people were filming with cameras nearby, hotel managers stood at the en...Chapter 70: Do You Have Ten Million

During the second class, Sun Man glanced at Tang Wu, who was sitting in the second row. They were now on the top floor of the external building, having moved up a level, naturally making their status higher.

The trees in the middle of the school couldn't reach such heights, so the internal and external buildings could see each other from afar.

There would be some bored people who would use binoculars to peek at the opposite building or shout various names during breaks. Sun Man had once been called out by someone from the other side, making her laugh and feel embarrassed.

Looking at Tang Wu's back figure, Sun Man remembered when she had candidly told Tang Wu about wanting to pursue Su Can.

Although there was a subtle competitive relationship between them, no one wanted to be outshined by an excellent counterpart. However, in the entire school, Tang Wu was indeed the only person with whom Sun Man could exchange such information without it being widely known.

Tang Wu made for a good confidant; although Sun Man had always viewed Tang Wu as a competitor, she would tell Tang Wu about having developed feelings for someone when everyone else suspected and speculated. Revealing this fact would certainly cause a stir.

Yet, the thin figure she vaguely saw during the break between classes still lingered in her mind. She found herself daydreaming during class. Perhaps he didn't realize that his initiative to take action had ignited a fire as intense as the summer heat.

The final bell rang after the last class of the day, and the setting sun was blood-red. Sun Man came up to Tang Wu again, lazily smiling and saying, "I haven’t seen you eating with Su Can today."

"He has friends who just transferred here. They might go eat together today. I won't be joining them since we have a soccer match before the evening study session," Tang Wu smiled and prepared to finish her English homework before heading to the cafeteria for dinner.

“Oh, that’s right. Well, it's good this way too. He just transferred here last semester, and you’ve been taking care of him so much. This semester he should naturally be independent; otherwise, he’d really be benefiting from your kindness!” Sun Man remarked. Although she didn’t think Tang Wu had any special relationship with Su Can, not having to eat with him every day made her feel more at ease.

Then, thinking about it again, she hurriedly said, “Why don't we just eat together in the future I won’t go back home for lunch; I can nap in the classroom. When we have dinner later, we could invite Su Can to join us so he can enjoy our company too.” However, Sun Man didn’t realize that her words contradicted themselves—if eating with Tang Wu was a benefit, wouldn't having both of them accompany him give Su Can the highest privilege in the school

“Maybe it’s not very convenient,” Tang Wu hesitated before saying this. In fact, these words already made her feel inclined to be honest with Sun Man.

However, Sun Man seemed completely oblivious to Tang Wu's unusual expression and tone; she looked straight ahead and waved her pale hand adorned with a delicate watch, as if having resolved many things beforehand, saying, "What inconvenience I just need to give him a subtle hint. I don’t believe he can’t get what he wants!"

Tang Wu's heart skipped a beat. She became slightly anxious, perhaps because facing Sun Man as a competitor made her less composed than she appeared on the surface; there was a hint of self-doubt within her. After Sun Man finished speaking, she checked her watch and said, "Oh no, they must be getting impatient waiting for me. I have to go now! Thank you, Tang Wu."

The word "actually" slipped out as Sun Man approached the door: "It wasn’t like that."

Sun Man replied, "Alright, alright, we can talk about this later."

As she watched Sun Man's retreating figure, Tang Wu realized that even though she wanted to say, "Actually, Su Cen and I are not just ordinary friends," the words were still difficult to say. Watching Sun Man walk away without looking back, Tang Wu clenched her fist slightly in frustration, wondering why she didn’t have more courage.

After leaving the classroom, the slanted red light from the sky made the school corridor dazzlingly bright. Looking at those rays of sunlight, Sun Man told herself inwardly that as a senior three student, every person who had ever been in this corridor or any classroom here would have their own concerns and regrets about where they came from and where they hoped to go.

When the final farewell arrives after turning this page, she too will eventually embark on her long journey of destiny, just like everyone else.

In those times that have passed, she hopes not to regret anything that she has missed.

Su Cen and Wang Weiwei, Lin Luoran, Lin Zhouwu, as well as some friends from their school (No. 27 High School), including Zhuang Zhiyu, Zhang Xian, Zhang Feifei, among others, had a meal at a beef restaurant outside the campus after satisfying their hunger. As they returned to school leisurely before evening study period, this group of seemingly idle individuals appeared rather large.

Tang Wu didn’t like attending such gatherings as Wang Weiwei’s circle did; Su Cen respected her opinion on it. However, he found that he seemed to have inadvertently joined a self-centered clique from others' perspectives, leading some to look at him with suspicion.

There was no help for it—once Wang Weiwei returned to his base (No. 27 High School), they wouldn’t be like the obscure Summer Sea First Middle anymore; their circle was quite extensive.

Su Cen also learned that at No. 27 High, there were many children of officials and wealthy second-generation who kept a low profile, judging from the events that occurred during the summer holiday. Zhuang Zhiyu and Zhang Feifei, Zhang Xian knew about it shortly after those incidents happened.

"No wonder!" Zhuang Zhiyu remarked, "I thought there was something off. Turns out Weiwei had a conflict with Ye Huishang. Someone called me saying you guys are back and advised me not to get too close to you. That guy is in favor of Ye Huishang’s circle, relying on my dad's strategic partner relationship! He acted like he’s really close to him!"

Zhang Xian patted Wang Weiwei’s shoulder: "You guys are truly unkind friends; such a grand party and you didn’t invite us. If we had been there, we would have smashed that Dynasty Hotel to pieces for sure! It's just your word."

Wang Weiwei forced a bitter smile, "You guys really are troublesome. If you break the Dynasty Hotel, I think we'll all go home for a beating. Do you seriously think that others are punching bags for anyone to hit"

The crowd laughed. They felt Wang Weiwei had matured a lot since his return and was exuding an aura of power.

Under this aura, Zhang Feifei found Wang Weiwei more intriguing. Occasionally glancing at Su Chan who was chatting with the rest from time to time, she thought the demeanor Wang Weiwei displayed seemed identical to that of the Su Chan in front of her. But when she had this thought, Zhang Feifei shook her head quickly, "It must be a delusion."

"Hey, isn't that Tang Wu" Lin Zongwu looked far into the distance and saw Tang Wu sitting on the stands with her legs crossed, chatting with some girls from their class. She was watching the ball game below and hadn’t noticed them at all.

Lin Zongwu then said to Su Chan with no filter in his words, "I told you that you’ve been having too much fun at No. 27 High School not to call us back. You really have no humanity when there’s a pretty girl around." He didn’t know the people from this side—Zhu Zhiyu, Zhang Xian, and Zhang Feifei—all had their jaws dropped looking at Su Chan, with only one thought in their mind: "Does he like Tang Wu"

Then different expressions appeared on everyone's faces. Some seemed overconfident, others absurd; it was as if they were looking at an ostrich trying to catch a swan.

This kind of expression was because Su Chan’s performance since his transfer wasn’t that of a common frog but rather like the fastest land animal, the ostrich. However, he was still far from catching up with the high-flying swan.

Wang Weiwei, Lin Zongwu and others all noticed something amiss in their group and turned around to look at them with a bewildered expression, "What Is there nothing between Tang Wu and Su Chan"

At this moment, Wang Weiwei looked at Su Chan with an ambiguous smile, thinking that everyone said he had secretly met up with Tang Wu at No. 27 High School but he didn’t seem to have made any progress—how disappointing.

The man named Wei Chao couldn’t help laughing, "Could they be dating"

Zhu Zhiyu felt that Wei Chao was being inappropriate for his age and thus explained, "You guys didn’t know when you left. Tang Wu is a student who the principal of No. 27 High School, Cai Guotao, wishes to promote as a school ambassador; she ranked second in the provincial mathematics competition and first in physics.

She also participated in many exchanges and activities—she’s an example for our students. The school is probably going to print her picture directly on the journal! Such a girl, even those like Yang Cheng, the captain of the basketball team who was nicknamed the No. 27 High School god and a copycat Wang Likuo; Wu Suoqi, the captain of the school’s men’s basketball team at over six feet tall—none of them have any chance to pursue her!"

Then Zhu Zhiyu didn’t forget to flatter Lin Luoran with a blank expression, "Of course this doesn’t mean Tang Wu is worse than you. We’re just on different paths. In my eyes, no one is as excellent as our Ge Ran sister."

Lin Luoran was unmoved by the compliment and remained cold, "Get lost!"

Fifi Zhang stared at Su Can and asked, "Do you have ten million yuan"

Su Can was stunned. He shook his head.

Fifi Zhang giggled, "Then there's no hope for you. In this world, you can be ugly, but you cannot be poor. If your family had ten million yuan worth of assets, then maybe you wouldn’t have a chance with Tang Wu, but finding a girlfriend comparable to her in beauty would not be a problem. My model friends could introduce at least two girls who match up."

The crowd was silent.

Su Can smiled bitterly. This sentence made his heart cold. Not handsome but having money This was the mindset of some rich girls during this era, similar to how post-90s generations would flaunt their wealth and have gate-crashing incidents.

Zhixian Zhang chuckled awkwardly, breaking the awkwardness by saying, "Su Can, it’s not that I’m saying anything bad about you. Honestly speaking, if you had any interest in this lady here," he pointed at Fifi Zhang, "your chances of getting her would be higher than with Tang Wu. You probably don’t know that she has a bit of affection for you."

Fifi Zhang clenched her fists and chased after Zhixian Zhang while saying, "Get lost! What do you mean I have interest I never eat leftovers!"

Zhixian Zhang stopped his playful dodging when he saw the extremely strange atmosphere.

The atmosphere was icy cold!

Yan Zhuyu was good at reading people’s expressions and pulled on Zhixian Zhang's sleeve.

Wei Wei Wang, who had been smiling happily until now, suddenly collapsed as if the sky was falling. His eyes were cold as he stared at Fifi Zhang, his voice fluctuating in volume, "What do you mean by not eating leftovers What’s ten million yuan"

The crowd looked on silently as Wei Wei Wang continued, "You, Fifi Zhang, are the greatest I know. You’re a princess. Your father controls the telecom branch company which probably has more than one hundred million in assets, so you can have any man who isn’t left over by others at your disposal. My brother Su Can is just an ordinary person from a poor family; his family doesn't even have ten million yuan worth of assets. If my dad wasn't Wang Bo, I’d also be considered leftover food in your eyes. From now on, Fifi Zhang, I don’t want to know you anymore. Get lost."e who ignored them would have to pay the price for this moment.An old car stopped. Guo Xiaozhong's head popped out of it.
