Rebirth as the Richest Woman in the World

Chapter 564: 565, Fate (First Update)

When Chu Jin received the friend request from the counselor, she was first stunned, then clicked to add.

Seeing that they had become friends, the counselor was quite thrilled.

Despite Capital University being an internationally renowned university, Chu Jin was the only Scholar in their class.

Moreover, she was only two points shy of the top scorer.

What was most terrifying was that she scored full marks in Chinese!

This was something that had never happened in the history of the college entrance examination.

No student had ever achieved full marks in Chinese.

Even those with solid foundations would lose a few points in their essays, but this person didn’t lose a single point.

Clearly, she had a profound literary foundation.

Many teachers photographed her test paper to use as teaching material, for other students to refer to.

The counselor had also read that essay.

The text was about 850 words, employing numerous quotations from world-famous works, with exquisite diction and elegant language that left an enduring impression and resonated deeply with the reader after finishing it.

The beautiful small script was a pleasure to the eyes.

When the counselors from various departments learned that Chu Jin had applied to Capital University, they all exploded with excitement, each hoping Chu Jin would choose their respective field.

Some counselors even argued until their faces turned red and their necks swelled.

After all, teachers always favor outstanding students.

To everyone’s surprise, Chu Jin eventually chose the major of linguistics and literature, and in the end, she was assigned to the class the counselor led.

The counselor, trying to contain his excitement, sent Chu Jin a message.

The gist of it was asking her to speak on behalf of the new students.

Then, he intended to make her the leader of Class 3.

Chu Jin declined this request.

As someone with experience, she certainly knew the responsibilities of a class leader; the class leader almost took over all the counselor’s work and was incredibly busy, which she had no time for.

The counselor was a bit surprised, then made her an acting class leader to manage the affairs of the girls during the military training period.

Reluctantly, Chu Jin agreed, for to refuse would have seemed overly pretentious.

After ending the conversation with the counselor, Chu Jin opened her computer to begin drafting her speech.

The dormitory was very quiet, with only the sound of the keyboard clicking.

Suddenly it was 5 p.m.

Chu Jin found the meeting place, pushed the door open, and walked in step by step; the previously buzzing classroom fell silent within seconds.

All eyes were on her.

Regardless of gender.

A beauty, no matter where she goes, is like a radiant, heat-generating body that attracts people’s gaze.

And she was not only beautiful but also had the grace of an orchid.

Qiao Muyan, previously surrounded by male students, instantly turned sour, her fists clenched tightly. Before this moment, she had been the most popular girl in the class, but now her spotlight was snatched away by someone else, of course she was angry!

Chu Jin was truly an eyesore!

Not only was she going against her, but now she was openly competing for her status!

She was indeed unlucky to have chosen the same major and ended up in the same class as her.

Chu Jin paid no mind to the gazes of others, casually finding a seat to sit down. People returned to their own conversations, but many still stole glances towards Chu Jin, curious about who she was. How could someone be so beautiful, now overshadowing even the school beauty?

Curious as they were, no one dared to truly approach and strike up a conversation, failing to stir any romantic notions.

Just in time.

A pleasant female voice came from behind, "Sister."

Chu Jin turned back and glanced at the newcomer, pausing for a moment before saying, "Chu Tian?"

The one who had arrived was indeed Chu Tian.

She wore a blue T-shirt and hot pants, with a sweet appearance. Compared with Chu Tian several months ago, she was as different as day and night. The current Chu Tian was youthful, radiant, and elegant. If one hadn’t seen her with their own eyes, nobody would believe that this was Chu Tian.

Not only had Chu Tian changed significantly in appearance, but her methods were also very formidable.

In just a few months, she had transferred all of the assets left by Chu Songhe into her name, and even added several new subsidiaries. At present, Chu Tian’s total assets had already surpassed one hundred million.

This was the true embodiment of a Lolita’s body and a mature woman’s heart.

"Sister, I didn’t expect to see you in this class. What a coincidence," Chu Tian said with a smile.

Chu Jin’s expression remained unchanged, "Thank you for the reminder last time." She had no intention of becoming close with Chu Tian. Although Chu Tian did not seem like a person of great malice, her actions were extremely cunning.

One might inadvertently fall victim to her schemes.

Chu Jin even had a feeling that Chu Tian had also been reborn; otherwise, how could she possibly have the ability to predict the future?

"It’s only right. Sister, you have helped me a lot. If it weren’t for you, I would have been calculated against long ago and now would be nothing more than a pile of yellow soil." ’They’ naturally referred to Zhou Meilin and Chu Songhe.

A touch of self-mockery flashed through Chu Tian’s eyes as she said this.

How could I have been so foolish before, willingly allowing myself to be bullied!

The time was right.

The instructor walked in and started with a brief self-introduction.

Then the roll call began.

"Fang Jun."

"Here," a skinny and frail boy stood up, his features slightly immature.

"Li Meidie"

"Here," a somewhat plump girl stood up. Perhaps her name was too appealing; when she stood up, everyone showed a hint of disappointment.

"..."

The roll call continued, and the eyes of everyone followed, curiously sizing up the new classmates whose names were called, silently memorizing each name, or carefully discussing with those around them.

"Chu Tian."

"Here." Chu Tian stood up from her seat calmly, with a proper smile on her lips, displaying poise. She gave off the feeling of the girl next door, very approachable, earning the favor of many.

"Qiao Muyan."

"Here."

Now the classroom buzzed with whispered discussions. In the eyes of the somewhat green freshmen, Qiao Muyan stood out. Moreover, she was dressed from head to toe in internationally renowned luxury brands, attracting envious glances from everyone.

"Wow! She must be the third Miss of the Qiao family, right?"

"Which Qiao family?"

"The Capital City Qiao family! You know, ’Wherever there’s Royal Qiao, it’s the city center’—that one." The Qiao family was a real estate giant in Capital City, and almost all the manors, villas, and high-end residential areas were developed by Qiao Properties.

Qiao family real estate was widespread across China.

The most famous slogan was: Wherever there’s Royal Qiao, it’s the city center.

Royal Qiao Properties could even drive the economy of an entire region.

"Wow, that Qiao family! I know them!"

"Holy shit, the little princess of the Qiao family? I’ve got to take a photo, I’ve got to post it on my Moments!"

"Ahhh! I can’t believe I’m in the same class as the little princess of the Qiao family! Am I dreaming?"

Listening to the sounds of envy around her, Qiao Muyan lifted her chin, a smug curve forming on her lips—she loved being the center of admiring gazes.

Aristocrats will be aristocrats, peasants will be peasants; some things just can’t be envied.

What she needed to do was to rightfully enjoy these things.

Amidst this envy and jealousy, she found her happiness.

It was unclear whether it was intentional or unintentional.

Chu Jin’s name was the last one to be called.

As Chu Jin stood up, almost everyone turned their heads back; they were all curious what a top student looked like.

Typically, top students tend to look rather plain, and thick glasses are their usual hallmark.

But unexpectedly, this top student was incredibly beautiful.

Beauty and intelligence coexisted.

She completely overturned the stereotypical image of a top student in everyone’s minds.

In the past, it was always "the beauty from the class next door" or "the upperclassman," but now it was finally their class’s own top student.

Moreover, the instructor made a point of introducing Chu Jin, "Classmates, this is our class’s Scholar, and she’s also the only person in history to achieve a perfect score in the Chinese subject of the national college entrance examination."

Saying this, the instructor adjusted his glasses then continued, "Chu Jin, please come to the podium and introduce yourself."

The instructor had seen Chu Jin’s ID photo before, but upon seeing her in person, he was still momentarily stunned, as if taken aback by her grace.

Chu Jin walked to the podium calmly and confidently; she faced the students without a hint of timidity, her lips revealed shallow dimples as she introduced herself in a clear voice, "Hello everyone, I am Chu Jin, ’Chu’ of Chu River and Han Border and ’Jin’ of splendid rivers and mountains."

She promptly took the chalk the instructor handed to her and wrote two characters on the blackboard.

The characters were elegant and forceful, filled with vigor and aesthetic appeal; such handwriting couldn’t have been achieved without decades of practice.

Just two characters were enough to astonish everyone.

Thunderous applause erupted from the audience.

It felt invigorating.

Chu Jin bowed slightly, then stepped down from the podium. Her self-introduction was very brief; she didn’t dwell on her academic achievements or extensively promote herself, unlike others who would go on about their paths to success.

Chu Jin may not have remembered the names of all her classmates, but all her classmates remembered hers.

In time, she became the representative of the Chinese Literature Department.

Qiao Muyan was furious.

She couldn’t stand the existence of someone poorer than herself yet more attention-grabbing.

In what ways was Chu Jin better than her, aside from her looks and academics? Why did she receive such a warm welcome from the instructor and students?

That instructor is blind. The Qiao family had invested so much money in Capital University, yet he didn’t know to introduce her properly! Even the president smiled a third more when seeing her; that instructor had gone too far!

The more Qiao Muyan thought about it, the angrier she became, convinced that Chu Jin was purposely opposing her! She had to figure out a way to make Chu Jin submit to her superiority!

At this moment, the instructor on stage spoke again, "During the military training period, Chu Jin will act as the interim class leader, responsible for the affairs of the female students. Everyone should follow Chu Jin’s arrangements, and the male students will be led by Jiang Yifeng."

This statement further agitated Qiao Muyan.

What was the instructor trying to do? Making her follow Chu Jin’s arrangements! Chu Jin is just a pauper, what gives her the right to arrange anything for her?

Qiao Muyan had never been so humiliated her entire life.

Everyone she met fawned over her, trying to curry favor, but Chu Jin, not only did she not seek to please her, but she also seemed to encourage Yin Wu to target her!

She had to come up with a plan! A calculating look flashed in Qiao Muyan’s beautiful eyes, followed by a slight smirk.

After the instructor left, Chu Jin exchanged contact information with the leader of the boys’ group.

"Chu, I added you on WeChat, please accept the request," Jiang Yifeng said, lifting his phone towards her before leaving.

"Okay," Chu Jin nodded mildly, then opened her phone and clicked accept.

Jiang Yifeng wasn’t one to judge a book by its cover, but upon getting a clear view of Jin’s facial features, he was slightly shocked.

He had seen many beauties, but such as her were rare.

This kind of beauty emanated from within.

They stood very close; he was just a bit taller than Chu Jin, giving him a perfect angle to see her profile.

Her skin was as flawless as snow.

A faint fragrance emanated from her as well.

Jiang Yifeng, who is usually unmoved by beauty, found himself immersed in her captivating features.

Chu Tian glanced over here and then walked over, "Sister, let me go back to the dorm with you."

Jiang Yifeng had some impression of Chu Tian.

Seeing Chu Tian addressing Chu Jin as sister and sharing the same surname, he subconsciously thought they were real sisters. Although Chu Tian’s appearance wasn’t as striking as Chu Jin’s, she was still considered outstanding amongst the students of Capital University.

"I’m not staying in the same dorm as you," Chu Jin lifted her eyes and spoke in an indifferent tone, then turned and left.

Chu Tian wasn’t embarrassed and instead nodded politely to Jiang Yifeng before chasing after Chu Jin.

Seeing this, Jiang Yifeng was somewhat confused, like a monk scratching his head, and couldn’t help but become curious about the two’s relationship.

Chu Jin didn’t walk fast, but Chu Tian couldn’t catch up and could only watch helplessly as Chu Jin disappeared among the throng of students.

Chu Tian stared in the direction where she disappeared and sighed softly.

**

In the dormitory.

Yin Wu was still reading, while Liu Meng Haoran was applying nail polish.

The air was filled with the pungent scent of low-quality nail polish.

It wasn’t pleasant, even somewhat stinging to the nose.

Chu Jin walked in as usual, opened the window, and let the room ventilate.

Not long after, Qiao Muyan entered. She glanced around at everyone and then said, "It’s rare for us to be in the same dorm. Let’s take the opportunity before military training starts and have a meal together. My treat."

"Sure, sure," Liu Meng Haoran stood up in agreement.

Qiao Muyan’s invitation meant they were going to a place frequented by the wealthy. She was finally going to experience the lifestyle of high society!

Liu Meng Haoran was visibly excited, thinking she might even encounter a rich heir of some sort.

"What about you two?" Qiao Muyan turned to look at Yin Wu and Chu Jin.

Since it was a roommate gathering, Chu Jin didn’t refuse. After all, living under the same roof, it’s not good to have too tense a relationship.

"Okay," Chu Jin nodded lightly.

Seeing Chu Jin agree, Yin Wu followed suit with a nod.

Qiao Muyan nodded in satisfaction, "Then you guys get ready. I’ll call our family’s driver to pick us up."

"Wow!" Liu Meng Haoran’s eyes shone as she exclaimed, "Miss Qiao, your family has a driver? Do you also have chefs and a butler?" Coming from a modest working-class home, this was her first encounter with affluence.

In the past, she had only seen such daughters of wealthy families on TV.

She was completely stunned to hear that Qiao Muyan’s family had a driver, overwhelmed by envy. Why couldn’t she be born into a family like that?

Qiao Muyan spoke under Liu Meng Haoran’s envious gaze, "Our family employs 28 chefs, but we only have one butler."

"28 chefs!" Liu Meng Haoran gasped, "Oh my! How many people are in your family to have so many chefs?"

"What’s so strange about that?" Qiao Muyan said indifferently, "Our family even reserved four villas for the servants to live in."

Liu Meng Haoran felt as if her worldview was being completely refreshed.

Her parents had scrimped and saved for most of their lives to buy a two-bedroom apartment in Capital City, and even that was just in an ordinary neighborhood. The wealthy, however, used villas as staff quarters!

Liu Meng Haoran was even more resolved to marry into a wealthy family.

Only by entering a wealthy family could she change her life and ensure her children would be the second generation of wealth.

Hearing all this, Yin Wu was also surprised, but she showed no sign of jealousy or envy. She believed that one day, she would create everything she desired with her own hands.

Qiao Muyan had stepped outside to make a call, and Liu Meng Haoran had gone to change her clothes. She wanted to look her best and not miss any chance to marry into wealth.

Yin Wu wasn’t looking forward to this dinner, and she felt her current outfit was fine, with no need for a change.

Chu Jin was calm as well, simply standing in front of the mirror and casually tying her hair into a bun, revealing a neck curve of exquisite grace.

Qiao Muyan quickly came back in, "Are you ready? Our family’s driver has arrived downstairs."
