44: Chapter 44 He Stole My Life

Being the center of attention—this was exactly what Cao Junli wanted most. For a dignified rich second generation like him, he ended up getting no attention at all.

Qin Chuan was so handsome, and coming to school after two and a half years made many classmates in the class start to get curious about his identity.

Those who could attend the Business School usually didn't come from poor families, and since Qin Chuan not only attended the Business School but also reserved his enrollment for two and a half years, his family background was likely truly extraordinary.

As soon as Qin Chuan sat down, a somewhat chubby girl walked over and introduced herself, "I am Monitor Li Wenhui. You are Qin Chuan, right?"

"Mm." Qin Chuan nodded slightly.

"Why did you only come to school now that you're a junior?" Monitor Li Wenhui asked curiously.

Qin Chuan pondered for a moment and said, "No time."

Monitor Li Wenhui was speechless for a moment.

You didn't have time before, but now you have time?

This is university, after all. Most likely, his family background is really good, so he doesn't take university seriously.

Cao Junli only felt a wave of pretentiousness hitting him in the face: "Damn, this Old Qin is even better at acting cool than me."

"Tan Ming, he seems even more handsome than you." A girl sitting behind Tan Ming poked his back with her finger.

Tan Ming turned around, frowned slightly, but quickly revealed a refined and gentle smile: "A person's charm isn't limited to just that. Besides, my vision is no longer at this level."

"Oh? What level has your vision reached then?" the girl asked curiously.

Actually, this girl did have some feelings for Tan Ming; after all, he was handsome and his family was very wealthy. This kind of roguishly handsome boy was extremely popular wherever he went.

A flash of arrogance crossed Tan Ming's face: "I'm looking to see if I can win over the school beauty, Shen Wangshu, lately."

"You want to pursue Shen Wangshu?" The girl was a bit surprised.

"Mm." Tan Ming smiled triumphantly. "From the initial look of it, it shouldn't be a problem. Shen Wangshu should have some feelings for me too."

He had indeed been pursuing Shen Wangshu recently, and Shen Wangshu didn't seem to resist his advances too much.

"Wow... It's Shen Wangshu."

"It really is her. This is Shen Wangshu from the list of school beauties."

"Why did she come to our Business School?"

Just at this moment, there was another commotion in the classroom.

Everyone's gaze was fixed on the classroom doorway. Standing there was a tall figure with a beautiful face and fair skin. Her air of being a wealthy, beautiful woman radiated from within, making everyone look at her with burning eyes.

Shen Wangshu from the Finance Department of Jinling University!

Tan Ming immediately straightened his clothes and walked toward the classroom door.

"Wangshu, why are you here?" Tan Ming asked in a gentle tone.

Many people in the class showed expressions of regret. Clearly, in everyone's eyes, Shen Wangshu had most likely come looking for Tan Ming.

But unexpectedly, Shen Wangshu just nodded at him, then her eyes swept across the classroom and quickly locked onto a figure.

"Qin Chuan, my mom wants you to come to my house for dinner tonight."

"Okay." Qin Chuan nodded.

Shen Wangshu didn't say anything else and turned to leave.

The reason she came here was that Qin Chuan's phone had been unreachable. Later, through some connections, she found out that Qin Chuan had come to class today, so she had to come over to tell him.

But just this one sentence of hers caused a sensation throughout the entire classroom.

In today's classroom, the coolest guy was definitely Qin Chuan.

Tan Ming's expression was somewhat ugly. He stood at the classroom door like a clown, not knowing whether to leave or come back.

"Ahhh..." Cao Junli shouted.

"What's wrong with you?" Wu Xieyu frowned.

Cao Junli gritted his teeth and said indignantly, "I suspect Old Qin stole my life!"

After the afternoon classes ended, Qin Chuan returned to the classroom, because he had only just realized that he had spent the whole week refining a Magical Artifact and hadn't even noticed that his phone had run out of power and shut down automatically.

Five hundred years of cultivation had made him somewhat forget the existence of a mobile phone, and many times he would forget to carry it with him.

After charging and turning on his phone, he discovered text messages from his younger sister, mainly saying that everything was calm at her school.

Additionally, there were several missed calls.

Shen Wangshu had two, and there was also one from Xiao Xueqing.

Qin Chuan didn't think much about it and called Xiao Xueqing back.

"Miss Xiao, why did you call me?" Qin Chuan asked with confusion.

Miss Xiao was stunned for a moment. "Oh, that seems to have been a call from several days ago."

Qin Chuan hadn't checked his phone, nor had he paid attention to the time.

"Mr. Qin, it's like this."

Xiao Xueqing continued, "Previously, you asked me to keep an eye out for Magical Artifacts for you. I recently received news that there is an Underground Fighting Arena where the wager is a Magical Artifact. If you are interested, you can go take a look."

Qin Chuan was somewhat surprised. He had learned from Uncle Hua that Magical Artifacts on Earth were extremely rare. As it turned out, someone was using a Magical Artifact as a wager—did they have a mine at home?

However, since it was a Magical Artifact, he would naturally be interested. Even if this Magical Artifact wasn't great, if he took it and refined it a little, it could still be a decent Magical Artifact.

"Sure, where is the address?" Qin Chuan asked directly.

"Mr. Qin, I will be returning to the capital in the next two days. I will arrange for someone to take you there." Xiao Xueqing naturally wouldn't miss this opportunity to do a favor.

"Many thanks." Qin Chuan thanked her.

After finishing this call, Qin Chuan had some expectations for this Underground Fighting Arena. According to what he learned from Xiao Xueqing, the Underground Fighting Arena would attract quite a few Martial Artists, just to snatch this Magical Artifact.

However, he guessed that the bookmaker who brought out this Magical Artifact as a wager was mostly focused on making money. After all, by attracting a whole bunch of Martial Artists, the bookmaker would certainly be able to make a fortune.

...

Shen Wangshu's family environment was quite good. Although their assets didn't reach tens of billions, they still had one or two billion. They also lived in a villa, but compared to the residence of the Qin Family, there was still some gap.

At this moment.

In the Shen Family villa.

Shen Wangshu's father, Shen Shihua, was mainly engaged in the logistics industry. Relying on the rise of the internet a few years ago, he had made a huge profit.

However, by now, the pace had slowed down, after all, there were too many people competing in this industry.

Shen Shihua sat on the sofa, reading the newspaper while asking, "Did you call Qin Chuan to come to the house for dinner?"

"Mm." Aunt Meng smiled. "He has been at Jinling University for a while now, and I want to see if he has adapted to school life."

"Can you call him to come to the house for dinner after tomorrow instead?" Shen Shihua said.

"Why?" Aunt Meng asked, somewhat puzzled.

"I have a big client coming over. I specially invited him to the house for dinner to show how much I value him, so you should talk to Qin Chuan about it." Shen Shihua was not discussing, but giving notice.

Aunt Meng was in a difficult position. "But I already had my daughter go tell him. Besides, I told you two days in advance, and you didn't object at the time. Why is it not okay now?"

Shen Shihua said, "There's no way around it. This is a last-minute decision I made. Besides, compared to my client, which one is more important? You don't even need to think to know that, right?"
