14: Meng Yu picked up the car

University life is rich and colorful; aside from the necessary course schedules, the rest of the time is under one's own control.

In this realm of freedom, some choose to sleep in their Dormitory, some are busy dating, and others immerse themselves in games all day long.

This is real university life—diverse, inclusive, and full of infinite possibilities.

Returning to class, Chen Li looked at Zhang Yixi and the other two slumped over the back row of desks, sleeping soundly, and couldn't help but shake his head with a smile.

These guys must have expended too much energy last night; now they probably don't even have the strength to open their eyes.

He idly twirled the pen in his hand, his thoughts gradually drifting—now that he had so much money, what should he do in the future?

If not for the fortuitous encounter with the system, he would probably be working hard at some milk tea shop or delivery station right now, rushing about.

How could he be like this, living a life worlds apart—not only with financial freedom but also supporting Liu Yu and Song Lingyun, two delicate flowers he could pluck at any time.

Back when he was as tired as a dog from part-time jobs, he always swore to himself:

When I get rich, I'll buy luxury mansions and luxury cars, find a few beauties, and just be a tycoon who spends money while lying down, experiencing everything the world has to offer.

As for longer-term plans, it wouldn't be too late to think about them once his wealth reached a certain level. For now, he would focus on accumulating more wealth and enjoying Campus life.

Just as his mind was wandering, his phone vibrated. It was a message from Meng Yu:

"Hubby, the 4S shop notified me that I can pick up the car anytime. Do you have classes this afternoon? Can you accompany me?"

"I have a full schedule of classes this afternoon, so go by yourself. Your mouth is so sweet today, even calling me hubby?"

"Haha, that's right, I've learned the ropes~"

"Not bad, not bad. Keep it up."

"Then I'll go pick up the car by myself this afternoon?"

"Go ahead. Drive carefully, take it slow."

"Okay, I got a perfect score on Subject Two, so don't worry."

"By the way, hubby, what about Liu Manman? She'll find out about us sooner or later."

"We're together openly and honestly. There's no need to worry about her; just let things be as they are."

"Mm-hmm, I understand. Love you!"

Seeing how cooperative Meng Yu was, Chen Li felt a secret joy. He had already decided what to buy her next. With her current favorability level, those two billion were a sure thing.

After experiencing the thrill of impulsive spending that wealth brought a few times, Meng Yu had become completely addicted.

What this new life brought her was far more than just material satisfaction.

It was also reflected on a spiritual level—the envious looks from her roommates,

The feeling of being the center of attention, that spiritual pleasure and sense of superiority, also left her intoxicated.

She seemed to suddenly understand why the eyes of some wealthy people always carried a faint sense of detachment.

It wasn't a deliberate arrogance, but rather a barrier naturally formed from being surrounded by flattery and admiration for too long.

After class, she excitedly took her ID card and prepared to pick up the car.

"Meng Yu, are you going on a date? You look so happy," Li Yuan leaned over and teased.

"No, I'm going to pick up a car."

"Pick up a car? You bought a car?" Li Yuan's eyes widened in surprise.

"That's right."

"I want to go too! I want to ride in a luxury car!" Li Yuan immediately grabbed Meng Yu's arm and acted spoiled.

"We want to go too!" Liu Manman and another roommate, Cai Fen, also gathered around.

"No problem, let's go together."

...The group took a taxi to the Audi 4S shop and, guided by the sales consultant who had initially received them, arrived at the exclusive car delivery area.

Inside the independent delivery area, a silver-white audi a4 was parked quietly.

Its sleek lines made Li Yuan and the others cover their mouths in surprise. Ignoring their own shocked expressions, they circled the car, looking it over carefully from front to back.

Meng Yu finished signing all the documents under the salesperson's guidance. The salesperson smiled and handed over a slip: "Miss Meng, this is the payment receipt for Mr. Chen Li. Please pass it on to him."

Meng Yu's heart skipped a beat, and she subconsciously glanced at Liu Manman and the others.

Although she had a clear conscience, she still felt a bit guilty—they were so close, did they hear?

Liu Manman did indeed hear the name Chen Li, because since last night, that name had been haunting her mind like a curse.

Hearing the salesperson mention it now, her head felt like it went 'buzz,' and her mind went blank.

Could it be that Meng Yu's mysterious and wealthy boyfriend was actually Chen Li?

This thought struck Liu Manman's mind like a bolt of lightning, making her whole body stiffen.

She suddenly connected a series of events: Meng Yu's vague and evasive manner whenever she talked about her boyfriend;

Receiving so many luxury goods and the brand-new Audi before her; and the financial power Chen Li had recently shown that made Feng Shijie bow his head.

More importantly, the timing—during May Day, she had just impulsively deleted Chen Li from her wechat.

In just two or three short days, Meng Yu had that boyfriend. How could there be such a coincidence in the world?

All the coincidences pointed to the truth that was hard for her to accept—Meng Yu's boyfriend was none other than Chen Li, whom she had pushed away with her own hands.

It had to be said that although Liu Manman's character was lacking, her mind worked very quickly, and she had guessed almost the entire truth.

But what could she say? After all, she was the one at fault first. Why did she choose Yang Bin?

Why did she easily give herself away in Sanya just for a gold necklace?

This was more than just being penny-wise and pound-foolish; it was like giving up the entire Pacific Ocean for a single drop of water.

Looking at the brand-new Audi, Liu Manman felt heartbroken, her internal organs twisting with pain.

But what standing did she have to criticize others? It was all her own fault for being too impulsive, even deleting him on wechat, leaving no room for reconciliation.

At this moment, her mind was in a mess, and she was at a loss, yet nothing would revolve around her.

After completing all the handover procedures, Meng Yu invited everyone into the car.

Sitting in the driver's seat, she couldn't hide her excitement—this was her car.

She hadn't even dared to think about it before; even buying so many LV bags wasn't as shocking as this solid vehicle.

Li Yuan and Cai Fen were also incredibly excited: "Meng Yu, you must take us with you when you go shopping in the future! We want to ride in a luxury car too~"

"No problem,‑ Meng Yu agreed readily.

The car was filled with laughter and joy, except for Liu Manman, who remained silent.

The more she thought about it, the more she felt that Meng Yu had stolen Chen Li—if she hadn't intervened,

With Chen Li's feelings for her, as long as she showed a little kindness, wouldn't Chen Li be hers for the taking?

These luxury goods, this Audi, they should have all been hers... Meng Yu saw Liu Manman's reaction through the rearview mirror; clearly, she had heard the salesperson's words and guessed the truth.

Seeing her looking unhappy, Meng Yu couldn't help but recall the past—it was clearly her who betrayed Chen Li first, and now she acted as if she were the one who had been greatly wronged.

She still remembered how she used to order Chen Li around, treating him like nothing more than an ATM and a servant.

Because of that, they had even had several arguments.
