Rebirth as the Richest Woman in the World
Chapter 565 - 566, Third Miss (Second Update)

Chapter 565: 566, Third Miss (Second Update)

"Alright, alright, let’s go," Liu Meng Haoran said, applying lipstick and walking out the door.

Yin Wu, with Chu Jin’s arm in hers, followed behind.

When they reached the bottom of the dormitory building,

they saw a luxury car, dazzling in the setting sun, golden and glittering. Although Yin Wu didn’t know much about cars, she could tell this one was certainly pricey.

"A stretch Rolls-Royce!" Liu Meng Haoran exclaimed with delight. She had never dreamed that in her lifetime she would get to ride in such a luxury car! It felt like she was living a dream.

There were also a few onlookers gathered around.

Ah, a luxury car! A Rolls-Royce! Even though it wasn’t hers, just looking at it was wonderful.

Two burly men in black stood by the car door. Seeing Qiao Muyan walking in front, they bowed respectfully and said, "Good day, Third Young Miss," then opened the car door for them.

The onlooking students had never seen such a show of power and stood there with their mouths agape, filled with both envy and admiration.

This kind of scene, usually found only on television, was happening right before their eyes in real society, and naturally, it was stunning.

"That’s Qiao Muyan, the third daughter of the Qiao family!"

"My God! I actually live in the same dormitory building as the little princess of the Royal Group!"

"Living in the same dorm building counts for nothing. The real winners in life are those fortunate enough to share a dorm room with Miss Qiao."

"..."

Hearing these comments, Qiao Muyan’s chin tilted up even higher.

The four of them got into the car.

Liu Meng Haoran and Qiao Muyan sat together.

Chu Jin was seated with Yin Wu.

All the way, Liu Meng Haoran kept flattering and courting favor with Qiao Muyan.

Qiao Muyan enjoyed it immensely and went into great detail about her little princess’ daily life – brand-name bags worth tens of thousands, sports cars worth millions, clothes and jewelry worth hundreds of thousands – and even boasted about giving Liu Meng Haoran a set of jewelry.

While speaking, she also glanced at Chu Jin and Yin Wu from the corner of her eye.

The two of them remained composed, showing no longing for her little princess’ life.

Qiao Muyan felt a twinge of frustration. These two were really good at playing it cool! She wondered if they could keep it up for long!

The car soon stopped in front of a luxurious hotel.

Royal Hotel.

It was clear that this hotel belonged to Qiao Muyan’s family.

"Let’s go inside," said Qiao Muyan as she got out of the car, a smug curve on her lips.

Two rows of waiters in uniform stood at the entrance.

"Welcome, Miss Qiao," the waiters greeted them with bows, creating quite an impressive scene.

Yin Wu felt somewhat uncomfortable with such grandeur and instinctively clung to Chu Jin’s arm.

Qiao Muyan walked at the forefront, her lips curled in pride. She didn’t believe that this spectacle wouldn’t shake Chu Jin and Yin Wu!

This gesture was to show Chu Jin and Yin Wu the difference between them and her!

Liu Meng Haoran followed behind Qiao Muyan with her head held high, feeling perfectly entitled to enjoy it all. The feeling of superiority was indeed nice; if only it could last forever.

Inside, the hotel was resplendent in gold, as grand as a palace, living up to its name indeed.

The waiters led the four upstairs.

Wherever they went, respectful greetings of "Good day, Miss Qiao" could be heard.

"Eating a meal here must cost quite a bit, right?" Liu Meng Haoran asked, taking in the hotel’s environment. She had never been to such an upscale hotel before.

Looking at the decor and the service attitude, she could guess the level of expenses here.

"It’s not much, the average cost per person is probably in the five figures. This hotel is owned by my family, so there’s no need to worry about money," Qiao Muyan said casually, shocking Liu Meng Haoran.

She knew that Qiao Muyan was the third daughter of the Qiao family but had no idea the Qiao family was this extravagant, owning a hotel where the average cost per person was in the tens of thousands. How much must they make in a day? It must be in the six figures!

The daily income of those people could be enough to cover several years of her parents’ income!

That was the difference between people.

"Miss Qiao, your family is really rich, and you’re such a nice person too," Liu Meng Haoran said excitedly, linking arms with Qiao Muyan.

The waiter led the four of them to a private room and stopped.

"You can go now, I’ll call you if there’s anything," Qiao Muyan said casually, waving her hand, and the waiter immediately bowed respectfully and left.

Qiao Muyan, acting out of character, opened the door for the three and said, "Here we are, you guys go in first."

Liu Meng Haoran was the first to enter.

Chu Jin and Yin Wu followed behind.

It was only after entering that Chu Jin realized, this was not just a simple roommate gathering.

Because there were also four men sitting in the room.

"Little Yan, why are you coming just now? We’ve been waiting for you for a long time," one of the men spoke up.

Qiao Muyan came out from behind and said, "What’s the rush? There was traffic on the way, so I’m a bit late."

After she finished speaking, she continued,

"Let me introduce them to you, these are my roommates, Liu Meng Haoran, Yin Wu, Chu Jin. It’s their first time here, so please take care of them."

Chu Jin and Yin Wu both frowned slightly. Had they known it was going to be like this, they would have never come.

But to Liu Meng Haoran, it was an eye-opener—the legendary heirs to riches! She must seize this opportunity well!

"Hello, I’m Liu Meng Haoran," said Liu Meng Haoran with a bashful look as she greeted the four men.

However, the men seemed unenthusiastic because their attention was all on Chu Jin.

A hint of unease flitted across Liu Meng Haoran’s face.

She wasn’t ugly herself, and she had plenty of suitors growing up, but in front of Chu Jin, her looks clearly weren’t enough! Qiao Muyan was also to blame – knowing well that she didn’t like Chu Jin, yet still bringing her to such an event!

"Beauty, won’t you introduce yourself?" A man in a suit addressed Chu Jin.

Chu Jin glared at him briefly and spit out two words, "Chu Jin."

"Nice name, I like it," the man whistled at Chu Jin.

Chu Jin didn’t say anything more.

The man gave a slight smirk, a trace of disdain in his eyes. Pretending to be so lofty when you’re already here! But indeed, her appearance was top-notch, pure yet not lacking in allure, alluring yet hinting at a certain seductiveness, seductive yet radiating an ethereal quality—simply otherworldly. If one could get her into bed, it would undoubtedly be...exquisite, right?

Qiao Muyan introduced the four men to the three roommates.

As Liu Meng Haoran had guessed, all four were sons of wealthy families. To her surprise, one of them turned out to be Qiao Muyan’s own brother, Qiao Mubei.

Qiao Mubei looked to be around twenty-five or twenty-six, with handsome features, standing out among the four.

Liu Meng Haoran immediately set her target.

While choosing seats, she deliberately sat next to Qiao Mubei. If she could marry Qiao Mubei, then Qiao Muyan would soon have to call her sister-in-law.

Liu Meng Haoran grew happier and more smug the more she thought about it. But when she looked up, she noticed Qiao Mubei’s gaze lingering on Chu Jin.

Yin Wu was seated beside Chu Jin.

Different from Chu Jin’s calmness, she was clearly a bit nervous, continuously drinking the tap water in her cup and staying quiet. She wasn’t trying to get close to anyone intentionally like Liu Meng Haoran was, nor was she looking around, but her expression showed some impatience, as if she wanted to leave this dinner early.

Liu Meng Haoran kept creating topics, attempting to shift everyone’s attention onto herself. With Qiao Muyan’s mediation, the group seemed to chat quite enthusiastically.

Qiao Mubei didn’t talk much, occasionally taking a shallow sip of red wine, appearing both gentlemanly and noble.

Liu Meng Haoran secretly scrutinized him out of the corner of her eye, her heart thumping wildly.

This man was precisely the Prince Charming of her dreams.

"Jin, let’s go back first," Yin Wu tugged at Chu Jin’s clothes and whispered. She couldn’t cope with this kind of environment at all; the atmosphere was too strange. She felt like an item being openly appraised by others.

She disliked this feeling intensely.

Qiao Muyan really has no respect for others. It was supposed to be a dinner among roommates, so how could she bring in four unrelated men? Chu Jin now has absolutely no good feelings towards Qiao Muyan.

She’s too presumptuous, never considering the feelings of others.

"Alright, just a moment." Chu Jin had wanted to leave for a while now but had not spoken up out of politeness.

Yin Wu nodded slightly and whispered, "Then I’ll go to the restroom first, and we’ll leave together after." Glancing at Qiao Muyan and the others who were happily chatting, she carefully pulled back her chair and headed to the restroom, regretting having drunk so much water earlier.

The private room was large, equipped with its own restroom.

Yin Wu had just left when Qiao Mubei followed suit.

Once he left, Liu Meng Haoran became restless but couldn’t find a suitable excuse to leave.

About 10 minutes later, Yin Wu came out of the restroom, composed. After taking a seat, she gently tugged at Chu Jin’s sleeve.

Chu Jin understood her signal and stood up with her wine glass, saying to Qiao Muyan, "Thank you, Miss Qiao, for your generous hospitality, but Little Wu and I have something to attend to, so we’ll be leaving first." With these words, she took a sip of her red wine.

Qiao Muyan didn’t expect her to leave so soon. Could it be that Chu Jin was trying to employ a new tactic to make men remember her? Play hard to get?

"Leaving so soon? There’s still a show later on," Qiao Muyan said with a smile, not believing that Chu Jin could resist the appeal of four such excellent men! In order to break Chu Jin, she had even invited her own brother! Didn’t Chu Jin want to marry her brother?

"I wish you all a fun evening," Chu Jin replied with a polite smile, placing down her glass and pulling Yin Wu to leave.

"Beauty, why don’t you leave your contact so it’ll be easier to hang out next time?" one of the wealthy young men said with a grin, extending an olive branch.

A single sentence carried too many implications.

When a man asks a woman for her contact information and invites her out again, his intention is clear.

Liu Meng Haoran was so aggravated he felt itchy in the teeth! This Chu Jin was shameless! Despite having a boyfriend, she was still flirting with other men everywhere!

"That won’t be necessary," Chu Jin declined gracefully, "I didn’t bring my phone today."

Liu Meng Haoran breathed a sigh of relief.

"Let’s go," Chu Jin said, pulling Yin Wu toward the door.

At that moment, Qiao Mubei emerged from the restroom, draped his suit jacket over his arm, and caught up with the two, stating authoritatively, "I’ll take you."

He gave them no chance to decline, heading straight for the exit.

Liu Meng Haoran was fuming and couldn’t believe it! Chu Jin was indeed cunning, even managing to ensnare Qiao Mubei! She quickly got up and said, "Chu Jin, Little Wu, I’ll go back with you."

After speaking, she turned to Qiao Muyan with a beaming smile, "Miss Qiao, I’ll take my leave first."

Liu Meng Haoran certainly couldn’t just let Qiao Mubei fall into Chu Jin’s lap! Qiao Mubei was hers!

A dismissive smirk appeared on Qiao Muyan’s lips, "Go ahead."

Liu Meng Haoran hurried outside, catching up to Chu Jin and said with a smile, "You don’t mind if I join you, right?"

Chu Jin’s expression was indifferent, "Not at all, let’s go together."

Qiao Mubei, walking ahead, cut a tall figure. Liu Meng Haoran’s heartbeat faltered just looking at his back, thinking she could wake up laughing from a dream if she could marry him.

Qiao Mubei’s car was parked outside the hotel, a very conspicuous convertible sports car.

"Please." With gentlemanly grace, Qiao Mubei pulled open the car door.

"Thank you," Chu Jin said softly, as she and Yin Wu sat in the back seat.

Since the back seat of a sports car has only two spots, Liu Meng Haoran naturally took the passenger seat.

Qiao Mubei subtly furrowed his brows but said nothing more.

All the way, Liu Meng Haoran was visibly excited, wanting to say something, yet unable to find the right topic, her heart jumping erratically.

The car was very fast.

Qiao Mubei drove with a stern face, constantly accelerating, turning the scenery outside the window into fading streaks.

"Mr. Qiao, could you slow down a bit?" Liu Meng Haoran asked cautiously, "I’m feeling a bit carsick."

However, Qiao Mubei continued as if he hadn’t heard her, though the corner of his eye caught a pale face in the rearview mirror, and he unconsciously slowed down the car.

Liu Meng Haoran’s heartbeat quickened even more. Although Qiao Mubei hadn’t directly answered her, he had already shown through his actions that he cared about her.

"Thank you, Mr. Qiao," Liu Meng Haoran said, her face flushed with appreciation.

Qiao Mubei pursed his lips without speaking.

However, Liu Meng Haoran looked at him with a foolish gaze.

Twenty minutes later, the car stopped in front of the dormitory building.

Qiao Mubei leaned out of the car and walked around to the back seat to open the door.

Chu Jin softly began, "Thank you, Mr. Qiao, for bringing us back." It was clear that Qiao Mubei was a mature and steady man, quite different from Qiao Muyan.

Qiao Mubei’s voice was somewhat hoarse, "You’re welcome, Muyan’s friends are my friends."

"Then we’ll head up, goodbye Mr. Qiao." Chu Jin smiled faintly and then pulled Yin Wu to leave.

Qiao Mubei watched the two leave, his gaze becoming deep as he took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it.

Liu Meng Haoran was still sitting in the car.

She felt this was a hint from Qiao Mubei – that he wanted her to stay, or perhaps, that Qiao Mubei fancied her. Otherwise, why hadn’t he opened the car door for her first instead of for those two?

Yes! Qiao Mubei must be smitten with her.

Liu Meng Haoran’s eyes were filled with glee, feeling that the day she would marry into a wealthy family wasn’t far off.

What would happen in a moment?

Would Qiao Mubei take her to a hotel room?

The more Liu Meng Haoran thought about it, the more excited she became.

Qiao Mubei smoked two cigarettes in a row before finally turning to open the car door. As soon as he sat down inside, his face darkened! Why hadn’t this woman left?

The one who should have stayed didn’t, and the one who shouldn’t stay was clinging on!

Looking forward to his response, Liu Meng Haoran, with a blush on her face, asked, "Mr. Qiao, may I call you, Mubei?"

Qiao Mubei looked at her coldly, each word clearly articulated, "Get! Out!"

Liu Meng Haoran thought she was hallucinating! Her eyes widened in disbelief! Qiao Mubei obviously liked her, so how could he say such things to her?

"Mubei, what are you saying?" Liu Meng Haoran forced a smile.

"I told you to get out!" Qiao Mubei said angrily, "Can’t you understand human speech?"

Liu Meng Haoran’s eyes reddened instantly. What was going on with Qiao Mubei! He clearly had asked her to remain! And now he was shooing her away? And so rudely at that!

Was it because he didn’t like others to call him by his name?

Yes, that must be it.

Liu Meng Haoran was startled, then, clutching the corner of Qiao Mubei’s clothes, she said softly, "I’m sorry, Mr. Qiao... I had no idea..."

Qiao Mubei had reached his limit. He leaned out of the car and walked around to the passenger side, pulled open the door, and forcibly dragged Liu Meng Haoran out with great force. She had not even had time to react when the sports car zoomed away, leaving a trail of dust behind.

She stood there alone, her eyes filling with tears in an instant, weeping. It was all Chu Jin’s fault, that vixen! It was all her fault! If it hadn’t been for her, why would Qiao Mubei have treated her like this!

Furious! Absolutely furious! She would definitely make Chu Jin pay the price!

The next day, just as it turned five o’clock in the morning, everyone was woken up by a loud and urgent bugle call.

They were to gather for military training at the field at five-thirty.

Chu Jin got up quickly, put on her camouflage uniform, brushed her teeth and washed her face. After she had prepared, it was only five-fifteen. After some thought, Chu Jin also applied some sunscreen to her face.

Qiao Muyan had been up since four-thirty and had been sitting in front of the vanity applying makeup ever since she woke up.

The military training would last a month, with the first twenty days of training on the school field, followed by ten days of survival experience in the wilderness to train the students’ outdoor survival skills.

The field was crowded with students in camouflage uniforms, creating an impressive and youthful spectacle.

A few instructors stood together, seemingly assessing everyone, standing as straight as rows of pine trees, attracting the gazes of many female students.

Chu Jin walked over to her class where the counselor was already organizing the formation, "Boys and girls stand in two lines, the shorter ones in front and the taller ones behind."

Chu Jin took her place in the back, then suddenly realized that the instructor standing behind the counselor looked very familiar. He was backlit, making it hard to see his features clearly, but his facial contours were too familiar, it was...
