68: Chapter 68: Transferring 1.2 million to Mom; a gang? Not interested.
The morning classes ended quickly.
Tang Luochuan told Jiang Jinyue to go eat with her roommates and 'friends.' After all, he still needed to give her enough personal space.
As for himself, he planned to go eat with Zhang Ming and Zhou Qi.
His phone suddenly rang at this moment; it was his mom calling.
"I need to take a call, you guys go ahead!" Tang Luochuan waved his hand, then picked up the phone and walked to the other side of the hallway.
"Then we'll wait for you on the first floor!" Zhang Ming shouted, leaving with Zhou Qi.
In the corner of the hallway, Tang Luochuan answered the phone: "Mom? What's wrong?"
"Luochuan~" Mother Zhu Xiumei sounded a bit exhausted.
"Ah, what happened?" Hearing his mother's voice, Tang Luochuan felt a jolt in his heart; this feeling wasn't very good.
Zhu Xiumei sighed and said, "Our house isn't being demolished anymore."
"Phew! I thought something happened. If it's not being demolished, then it's not, it saves me from having to transfer my household registration! Is Dad doing well? Are Grandma and Grandpa doing well?"
"They're all doing well! It's just... about that person I mentioned to you before..." Zhu Xiumei couldn't quite continue, as if she had some unspeakable difficulty.
"Meng Fanyi, right? I talked to her! But the conversation was just so-so, that woman has too many ulterior motives! Mom, if you feel bad about saving face, I'll go back during the National Day holiday to meet her and just go through the motions! It'll be a way to give Aunt Li an answer."
"That's not it!" Zhu Xiumei said: "Your Aunt Li came to find me today, this... how should I put it..."
"Just tell me, but Mom, let me tell you, I don't like this girl!"
"It's better if you don't like her, but... your Aunt Li said... that girl is dating Cousin Jianhua!"
"Cousin Jianhua?"
"From your cousin-uncle's family..."
"Zhu Jianhua??"
Tang Luochuan was stunned. This Zhu Jianhua was the grandson of his maternal grandfather's younger brother. He called his father "Cousin-Uncle." Their relationship was average; only his mother was relatively close to them, and his side of the Tang Family rarely interacted with them. At most, they would bump into each other on the street and exchange a few words.
"Oh, that's fine, it doesn't matter!" Tang Luochuan didn't think it was a big deal. He didn't like her anyway, so why bother caring?
But the next second, even Zhu Xiumei wanted to laugh; what she said next was truly absurd: "They're holding the wedding on National Day!"
"What??" Tang Luochuan suspected there was something wrong with his ears: "No, Mom, when you asked me to get in touch with Meng Fanyi, was she single? Or was she keeping one foot in each boat?"
Zhu Xiumei said: "The Tang Family side isn't being demolished, but my Zhu family side is! Sigh, it's imminent, isn't it? And Cousin Jianhua is also in Shanghai. Apparently, the two of them put their heads together, got their marriage certificate first, and transferred their household registration over! When the demolition happens, they can get an extra share of the money."
"Oh?" Tang Luochuan was dumbfounded. So they were treating him like a backup option.
He had heard of people being used as backups before getting a tycoon system, but he had already become a tycoon, and he still ran into this kind of thing??
"These two are really something; they'll just get married casually for a bit of demolition money!" Zhu Xiumei complained, trying to ease her son's resentment.
But Tang Luochuan wasn't unhappy at all. A girl he hadn't liked from the start was going to marry someone else. Whatever, he had no relationship with her anyway. They weren't boyfriend and girlfriend, so he couldn't interfere at all.
"Those two... forget it! Mom, you should go to the wedding later! He's a distant relative, I won't be able to make it."
"Son, you're not upset, are you?"
"Why would I be upset?" Tang Luochuan was driving a Lamborghini and a rolls-royce cullinan. He was seeing two girls, Shen Muyan and Jiang Jinyue. There was also Su Wantang, who liked his posts all day long; it seemed like this "simp sister" wanted to simp for him. He felt great!
"I'm fine, Mom! I..." Tang Luochuan started making up lies: "I've been trading stocks and playing with cryptocurrency, and I've made some money! I'll transfer it to you in a bit, remember to check."
"Huh? You made money again?"
"Yes! I'll transfer 1.2 million to you... hehe."
"What kind of stocks did you buy, and what is cryptocurrency?"
"Oh my... I'm going to eat! That afternoon class is very busy, and I've been studying very hard lately! I need to rest at noon!"
"Alright, alright, go ahead, son! Don't take it to heart."
"Okay!"
Tang Luochuan couldn't trade stocks at all, let alone touch any cryptocurrency. If he had to explain it, he would definitely be exposed.
He casually transferred 1.2 million to his mother and hurriedly headed to the cafeteria to meet up with Zhou Qi and Zhang Ming. He had to meet them; he still hadn't gotten his meal card yet. He was counting on these two guys to feed him.
There was only one programming class in the afternoon, from three to four. He had extra time for a nap.
During this period, the school also opened registration for various clubs. But Tang Luochuan didn't want to join any of them. Even though he liked soccer and basketball a little bit, it wasn't to the point where he wanted to join a club.
"Luochuan, aren't you going?" Zhang Ming had already dressed up, ready to go to the Literature and Art Department to see what clubs were available. Because there were many pretty girls there.
"Go where?" Tang Luochuan rolled over on his bed. Although he had moved out of the Dormitory, his bed was still there. He had paid a decent amount for the room fee.
"Clubs!"
"Not going!"
"Go increase some popularity for Senior Shen Muyan."
"Hmph!" Tang Luochuan rolled over again, turning his back to him: "I heard it's about to be packed over there."
At this moment, the Student Union's Literature and Art Department was indeed crowded with people. Even many sophomores wanted to change clubs.
Shen Muyan and several Student Union cadres were busy beyond measure.
"The freshmen have to hold a class meeting to elect class representatives today, it's so annoying!" Shen Muyan complained in a low voice to a classmate nearby.
Quite a few people had registered over the past two days, and most of them were girls at the beginning. Each of them harbored intentions that were "known to everyone." In their view, Tang Luochuan would definitely support Shen Muyan's work. He would join some club in the Literature and Art Department, or even join the Student Union.
But they were wrong; Tang Luochuan just wanted to lay flat... Right now, he was sleeping soundly in the Dormitory.
And Jiang Jinyue was standing outside the door, holding her registration form, waiting. If Tang Luochuan wouldn't support her, she definitely would.
The girl smiled and waved, greeting Shen Muyan. Shen Muyan also nodded with a bitter smile, quietly slipped over to her side, and whispered: "Where's your man!"
"Sleeping in the dorm." Jiang Jinyue had a faint smile on her face, seemingly there and yet not.
The conversation between the two girls was also interesting. Whenever Tang Luochuan pulled some stunt, the two would call him "your man" to each other, neither admitting he was theirs. Once Tang Luochuan behaved well, they would start saying "my boyfriend," "my partner," "my Luochuan"...
It wasn't true dislike; it was just a little joke between the two of them.
Jiang Jinyue suddenly said: "Sister Muyan, I think the best part about dating Luochuan is that I can become good friends with you!"
Shen Muyan nodded and said: "Me too, right?"
Jiang Jinyue smiled calmly: "So, why do we need to be with him? Why don't we just team up and live together, how about that??"
Shen Muyan: "Haha, then who's going to have the baby?"
Jiang Jinyue: "I'll raise it, you give birth..."
Shen Muyan: "I won't!"
Jiang Jinyue: "Your hips are big... you're bound to have a son."
Shen Muyan: "Jiang Jinyue, behave yourself, you weren't like this before."
The two girls giggled secretly; others couldn't hear exactly what they were saying.
Suddenly, at the corner of the hallway, a middle-aged female teacher walked over: "Muyan!"
"Teacher Qi!" Seeing the other person, Shen Muyan quickly responded.
She was a music teacher and also the teacher in charge of the school's art work.
Teacher Qi walked over and first sized up Jiang Jinyue: "Oh my, what a beautiful young girl! Here to sign up for a club?"
Jiang Jinyue quickly straightened her posture: "Yes, hello Teacher."
"Hello!"
Teacher Qi was just saying hello; it was hard not to pay attention to such a beautiful girl.
But she had serious business to attend to, so she continued: "Muyan, our Literature and Art Department has secured a collaboration with Shanghai Theatre Academy, mainly responsible for the National Day performance. This performance is mainly about shooting videos for promotion, not a stage performance! You did a good job at the Freshman Orientation Gala last time, and your senior in her junior year is busy with an internship now, so you should be in charge."
"Huh?? Oh, oh~"
