16: Chapter 16: A Warning of a Scumbag Boyfriend? My Best Friend's Selfish Schemes

Facing Shen Muyan's hint, Tang Luochuan rubbed his nose.

His plan was to hang out at the hotel in the afternoon, eat dinner in the evening, and look at houses tomorrow.

This senior was telling him she was free in the afternoon?

According to his plan, that meant going to the hotel?

"Uh... I'm... staying at the hotel for now..." Tang Luochuan glanced at Counselor Wang Jianguo.

Counselor Wang Jianguo gasped. He couldn't stay here any longer, or he would witness a student directly "hooking up."

"Hurry up and leave!" After giving a reminder, he hurried back to the teaching building.

Shen Muyan's brain raced: "Hey, I know a really delicious clothing store. Do you want to go check it out?"

Tang Luochuan: "Huh???"

People around them were already laughing. What did she mean by a "delicious"... clothing store... and then going to play?

Shen Muyan blushed. She didn't go out much and had no idea what was fun.

"Sure! Let's go taste the dishes at that clothing store and see if it's fun!! I'll pick you up at noon!" Tang Luochuan waved his hand: "Could you please give me the Lamborghini key? I'll drive that one!"

Since he had cars, he naturally chose to drive the most expensive one.

The on-road price of the three cars:

porsche Taycan: about 1.5 million.

porsche panamera: 1.4 million.

Lamborghini Aventador: 8 million.

Adding them up was over ten million, which was just a bit more than one-tenth of Tang Luochuan's daily income.

The Lamborghini door opened. Tang Luochuan sat in the car and waved at Shen Muyan: "Just the two of us this afternoon??"

"Yeah!!" The girl answered very decisively.

Her gaze locked onto the boy's face, and with the luxury car as a backdrop, Shen Muyan's resolve hardened even more.

The only thing was how to foster the relationship between the two and make their feelings more real and stable.

She didn't want him to just be playing around and then dump her.

...

The car left amidst everyone's gazes.

Shen Muyan glanced at the dejected Zhou Ziyu. She knew that he would definitely give up now.

There was no deep hatred, and the girl was kind by nature. She said gently: "Zhou Ziyu, what I said just now was too much! I'm sorry! Please understand."

"Huh? Oh..." At this moment, tears were about to fall from Zhou Ziyu's eyes; he had been hit too hard.

Watching Shen Muyan's departing back, Zhou Ziyu's last shred of dignity finally shattered.

Returning to the classroom, Shen Muyan sat back in her seat.

All the students in the class were discussing what had just happened. She pretended nothing had happened, silently opened her phone, and started searching for delicious and fun places nearby.

"It can't be too expensive, or I won't be able to afford it!" Shen Muyan murmured to herself with a smile on her lips.

She planned to treat the boy to a meal first to show that she wasn't a gold digger.

After establishing an equal friendship, she would develop it further.

"Shen Muyan... I'm so envious of you..." Wang Fangfang leaned her head over: "That Tang Luochuan is so awesome!!"

"Oh, I'm not sure either! It's just... he just gives me a very good feeling."

Shen Muyan continued scrolling on her phone.

Wang Fangfang turned to glance at another roommate, Li Jiaqi: "Li Jiaqi, your judgment is mediocre! You said his clothes were fake! What about now? Do you still think they're fake?"

"The lighting wasn't good last night, I might have misjudged! Besides... rich people are actually stingy... knockoffs... it's not like they don't exist! Driving a luxury car already proves you're rich; no one would dare question you even if you're wearing knockoffs."

Thinking back to her pretentious analysis last night, Li Jiaqi felt ashamed.

Although she couldn't tell the real from the fake.

But this kind of thing is hard to prove. Even if the boy was rich, in her heart, he only had tens of thousands in monthly living expenses.

His parents would definitely control it!

Who knew she'd meet one whose parents didn't care, who showed up driving a luxury car—and four of them at that!!

Aren't rich families usually very well-bred? Shouldn't they make him study hard in college instead of letting him spend his days debauching??

Even if you're rich, you shouldn't give that much...

She had seen the scene downstairs clearly—the three luxury cars were indeed eye-catching.

Jealousy gnawed at her like a viper.

"Shen Muyan." Li Jiaqi suddenly spoke up, "Are you really going out with him?"

Shen Muyan didn't even look up, her fingers still swiping on the screen: "Yeah, he's coming to pick me up this afternoon."

"I advise you... to be careful." Li Jiaqi lowered her voice and leaned in closer, "I've seen plenty of guys like this. They have a little money at home and cast their nets everywhere, specifically to deceive innocent girls like you."

Shen Muyan's fingers paused.

Li Jiaqi caught this momentary hesitation and immediately added more pressure: "You know my ex-boyfriend, right? The one who drove a Maserati? He was even more attentive than Tang Luochuan when he was chasing me. And the result? After sleeping with me, he used cold violence and immediately moved on to the next one."

Shen Muyan and Wang Fangfang both knew about Li Jiaqi's ex-boyfriend.

He wasn't a student, but a working professional.

It was said he started his own business and did some trading.

Back then, Li Jiaqi had been extremely proud, saying she had crossed social classes.

She also said that relationships between students were too childish, and that older guys outside knew how to cherish people.

She even looked down on the boyfriends and girlfriends in school, who just brought breakfast, gave flowers, or picked each other up after school.

There was no sincerity at all.

But in the end, she still got dumped.

"Luochuan isn't that kind of person..."

"You've only known him for two days!" Li Jiaqi looked as if she were disappointed in her friend's lack of judgment, "Would a top-tier rich second-generation guy like that lack women around him? Why is he so nice to you? What is he after? Your sophomore status? Your position in the Student Union's Literature and Art Department? Isn't he just after your beauty!! Can't you figure that out?"

Shen Muyan fell silent.

She recalled Tang Luochuan's nonchalance when swiping his card to buy the X7, the casual way he said, "I can't wear all these clothes," and the offhand way he spent sixty thousand yuan in the game.

That attitude of being completely desensitized to money was indeed... unlike anyone she knew.

Seeing that the timing was right, Li Jiaqi sighed and said earnestly: "I'm not against you dating; I'm afraid you'll get hurt. Guys in that social stratum are simply not from the same world as us. They can afford to play around, but can you?"

Shen Muyan didn't know what to say. She couldn't distinguish whether the other person was truly looking out for her or had ulterior motives.

Wang Fangfang, who was on the side, didn't speak either, her expression grave.

Because what Li Jiaqi said did make sense.

"Then what do you suggest??" Wang Fangfang asked. She was genuinely looking out for Shen Muyan and didn't want her friend to be deceived by a scumbag.

Shen Muyan bit her lip and looked at Li Jiaqi curiously.

Li Jiaqi was secretly delighted, but her face showed a troubled expression: "How about this: I'll go with you two this afternoon. I'll help you observe and see what kind of guy he really is. If he's sincere, I'll support you with both hands; if he's a scumbag... I can help you cut your losses in time."

"But..." Shen Muyan hesitated, "But I already agreed with him that it would just be the two of us!"

"Just tell him your best friends want to see the world too and insist on coming along! Ask him; with me and Wang Fangfang there, what are you worried about?" Li Jiaqi continued: "If he tries to take you to a hotel this afternoon, saying he forgot something, and you go into the room, you won't be able to get out! And if you drink a little alcohol... tsk tsk... think about it carefully."

"If word gets out, even if nothing happened between you two, it won't sound good. With the four of us, there won't be any gossip, right??"
