54: Chapter 54 Arms Display

With graduation just around the corner, few people had the heart to thoroughly clean their dorm rooms one last time before leaving.

Most people's mindset was simply, "After I'm gone, let the floods rise."

Moreover, even if they did clean, it was usually just a slightly more careful dusting. Thus, the grand cleaning operation in Meng Yawen's dormitory attracted the attention of many students still on campus.

They had moved several tables out of the dorm, looking as if they were about to perform a truly exhaustive deep clean.

Most of the tables were covered with daily necessities, nothing out of the ordinary.

However, the items on one particular table were quite different, drawing the gaze of almost every bystander looking for gossip.

A few knowledgeable individuals began to recognize some of the items one by one.

"Aren't those two LV bags? One of them is a new arrival that I really love but can't afford. I remember it costs over thirty thousand."

"That platinum necklace looks like it's from Chanel, and the amazonite gold and diamond bracelet next to it should be from LV. Those two alone must be worth nearly a hundred thousand."

"My god, is that a whole set of gear on the snowboard? It looks like the entire LV SKI collection! Wouldn't a set like that cost over a hundred thousand?"

"Look at that, it's La Perla lingerie, and the tags are still on them! Heavens, how many pieces are there? I remember that pajama set alone costs fifteen thousand. This many pieces must be worth at least a hundred thousand, right?"

"From what you're saying, are the luxury goods displayed on this one small table worth nearly five hundred thousand?"

"My god, this whole dormitory room isn't even worth that much!"

"What kind of family background is this? Keeping so many luxury goods in a school dorm—aren't they afraid of theft? Could they be fakes..."

"Hey, just look, don't touch. If anything goes missing, Yawen will call the police. Any single item here is enough to open a criminal case."

Meng Yawen's good friend, Tan Ya, had been assigned to guard the tables moved outside; otherwise, the items on this table would have been stolen within a minute.

Of course, she was mainly guarding Meng Yawen's table.

"It looks like those transparent bags are filled with price tags. Can we touch those?"

"Those are fine, feel free to look."

As the bags were passed around, many people took out their phones to search the tags, letting out bursts of exclamation from time to time.

"Are you saying all of these belong to Meng Yawen? Just how rich is the boyfriend she found?"

"I just heard Yi Zhixuan saying that Yawen found a boyfriend with no money and that they browsed luxury stores for ages without buying a single thing. It seems that was just her intentional smearing again."

"Seriously, people like her are the most disgusting. Her own boyfriend gave her a set of lingerie worth nearly ten thousand, and she wanted the whole school to know. Then, when she sees someone else doing better than her, she spreads rumors. She has no shame at all."

"Exactly. This one table of Yawen's could buy fifty of her sets. Yawen has suppressed her for so many years; it looks like she'll never make a comeback."

At that moment, Yi Zhixuan happened to be in a corner of the crowd. Everyone's attention was temporarily fixed on the displayed luxury goods, so no one noticed her for the time being.

However, the comments about her occasionally drifting from the crowd made her face turn green and white by turns.

Because she constantly kept tabs on Meng Yawen, she knew for certain that Meng Yawen didn't have these things before.

She also hoped these items were fakes, but because she had studied them extensively out of desire, she knew there was a high probability they were real.

Moreover, the price tags for every single item were right there.

Having just told everyone she met with absolute certainty that Meng Yawen couldn't afford a single luxury item, she now wished there were a crack in the ground she could crawl into.

She looked around guiltily, and seeing that no one had noticed her yet, she silently retreated toward the back of the crowd. 'I'm going home to stay until graduation. I never want to come to this crappy school again!'

However, she had actually been spotted long ago by the sharp-eyed Tan Ya, who had been secretly monitoring her embarrassment.

Seeing her about to slip away, Tan Ya called out a greeting loudly at the right moment:

"Isn't this our 'School Beauty Candidate' Yi Zhixuan? I heard you found a new rich boyfriend who bought you a set of lingerie worth nearly ten thousand yuan. That's 'so impressive,' isn't it?"

The vast majority of people present were aware of the feud between Yi Zhixuan and Meng Yawen; the two had been at odds for several years and were considered campus celebrities.

Upon hearing this, everyone followed Tan Ya's gaze and looked toward Yi Zhixuan in unison.

Yi Zhixuan used to be very obsessed with standing at the center of everyone's attention; it made her feel as though she were superior to these people.

That kind of vanity and satisfaction used to be her favorite thing.

But today, she feared those gazes immensely.

The gazes had weight, pressing down on her until she couldn't breathe and dared not raise her head.

The gazes also had heat, making her feel like a monkey with its tail on fire as she fled in a panic.

Tan Ya burst out laughing and exchanged a glance with Meng Yawen, who had poked her head out upon hearing the noise. "She came, and then she ran."

Meng Yawen understood and felt very happy; she even felt more energized while working.

As long as the protagonist of this play had shown up, her efforts hadn't been in vain.

"Everyone worked hard today. Tomorrow, I'm treating my sisters to a feast!"

"Hooray!"

Meng Yawen only needed to worry about showing off her wealth, but the school had much more to consider.

The students who witnessed it that day spread the news, causing quite a stir on the school's internal network.

It soon morphed into rumors like "The school beauty's luxury goods are filling up an entire hallway" and "The school beauty is being kept by a god-tier tycoon." The incident escalated rapidly, even alarming the school authorities.

Are you kidding? With the level of security in the school dorms, even the security guards themselves wouldn't believe it if a room full of luxury goods wasn't picked clean within a few days.

If some major news incident were to break out then, everyone would have a hard time.

So, Meng Yawen's Counselor soon arrived along with the Security Office, tactfully advising Meng Yawen to take her valuables home as much as possible, as the school dorms weren't safe enough.

For the next few days, they would deploy extra personnel to focus on her building, but it was best not to let this drag on for too long.

Meng Yawen's home was very far from iSport, and the transportation wasn't very convenient, so she had the idea of renting an apartment outside.

In any case, she still had tens of thousands of yuan in "pocket money" given by Zhao Xiaoshuai, so she had plenty of confidence to rent a place and move early.

The next day, while resting after her workout, she casually mentioned this to Zhao Xiaoshuai as a funny story.

After hearing it, Zhao Xiaoshuai briefly checked his system balance and pulled her up: "Then I'll go with you to take a look. I should have a share of the credit for your new home."

Meng Yawen just assumed he wanted to accompany her to rent an apartment and didn't think much of it.

Along the way, she even looked up several real estate agencies to compare prices properly, but when they got out of the car, she found it was an automobile dealership.

It was a Porsche 4S shop. There weren't many customers in the store at the moment, and a salesperson enthusiastically came over to greet them.
