Chapter 182: Chapter 182: Slapping the Face

Ma Shihao, feeling smug, was taken aback when he heard Chen Fan’s words.

He glanced at the price tag on that electrifying stone and sneered, "Dude, is that really necessary?"

Chen Fan was puzzled, "What do you mean?"

Ma Shihao curled his lips, "You’re just feeling unbalanced because I gave Weiwei this brooch worth over three hundred thousand, aren’t you? I get that you want to show off in front of Weiwei, but don’t bite off more than you can chew."

"Have you taken a good look? The price tag on that stone is ten million, not one thousand!"

Gao Weiwei couldn’t help but laugh as well, suddenly in a great mood, thinking to herself, so you couldn’t hold back after all. But your pretentious act is really too ridiculous.

Ten million, even the class president wouldn’t be able to pull out that kind of money so easily, let alone just for a stone.

Probably only a naïve guy like you would go ahead and pretend to be loaded. But don’t think I’ll give you a second glance for such a display, it’s only embarrassing.

She looked at Ling Xiaohan, "Xiaohan, come control your brother, he’s getting more and more ridiculous."

Ling Xiaohan hadn’t expected Chen Fan to suddenly say he wanted to buy that ten million-dollar stone and quickly tugged on Chen Fan’s sleeve, "Chen Fan, it’s ten million, and it’s just a stone. You don’t have to compete with the class president."

The rest of the classmates showed mocking smiles, their eyes full of a sense of superiority.

Chen Fan was rather speechless, "This stone is useful to me, what’s the problem with me buying it?"

Ma Shihao sneered, "What use could an electric stone possibly have? Do you think Weiwei would like such a thing? And that stone’s price tag is ten million, do you really think you can afford it?"

Gao Weiwei seized this opportunity to probe into Chen Fan’s inner feelings again.

When she discovered that Chen Fan’s emotions were still like a still well, with just a hint of annoyance, her face grew colder.

"He’s so good at pretending, this guy is really too much, he’s clearly making excuses, but his emotions show no fluctuation at all, such a person is truly frightening!"

She glared at Chen Fan darkly, "Can you stop acting? Do you really think we enjoy watching your performance? If you’re capable, then buy that stone for real, or else stop seeking attention, okay?"

Chen Fan didn’t want to deal with them and directly handed over his bank card to the staff, "Swipe the card."

Ma Shihao scorned, "I don’t believe that card of yours can churn out ten million, you’re bound to make some excuse about grabbing the wrong card to save face."

The classmates who came with him were both disdainful and speechless, "I never thought someone could be so shameless, what an eye-opener today."

The staff member, seeing everyone berating Chen Fan, was also unsure whether this ordinary-looking person could really afford ten million.

But it wasn’t her place to say anything, so she entered the amount and swiped Chen Fan’s card.

Just as she was about to ask Chen Fan to enter his pin, she was shocked to find that the transaction had already been approved.

She looked up incredulously at Chen Fan, her gaze transformed.

Such card transactions of ten million without the need for a pin are possible only under one condition: the cardholder’s net worth is above ten billion, and the card must have a balance of at least one billion for the bank to offer this express service.

This meant that this seemingly ordinary man was actually a hidden tycoon!

She immediately handed back the bank card with great respect, "Sir, the transaction has been successful. I’ll have someone prepare the stone for you. You may attend the reception for now, and our staff will bring it to you when you are ready to leave."

Chen Fan nodded.

Ma Shihao and his classmates were dumbfounded.

Gao Weiwei and Ling Xiaohan’s eyes were also wide open in astonishment.

"The... The transaction was successful?"

"How can this be, this guy... just casually spent ten million?"

Chen Fan glanced at Ma Shihao, "You’re all students, stop thinking about these nonsensical things all the time. You’d better focus that energy on your studies."

Ma Shihao’s face looked extremely unpleasant, and he wanted to retort against Chen Fan, but felt that whatever he said would seem weak.

After all, the other guy had casually spent ten million. Even his father would have to hold a meeting and discuss for a long time before spending that much money, whereas Chen Fan had bought a stone that seemed to have no use.

Gao Weiwei, who had just recovered from her shock, suddenly started laughing, "No wonder he could pretend so convincingly, turns out he has some capital. He must have been waiting for the moment I realized he had so much money, right?"

She looked at Chen Fan with a smile and said, "You must have been looking forward to this moment for a long time, haven’t you? I admit that I misjudged, but I still need to tell you that I’m not buying into this. I don’t like this rock, and even if you bought it to give to me, I wouldn’t accept it."

Chen Fan glanced at her, "Who said I was going to give it to you?"

Gao Weiwei’s expression stiffened, then she glared at Chen Fan furiously, "You just want to see me embarrassed, don’t you? Is it that hard to admit you have feelings for me?"

Chen Fan didn’t want to deal with this campus belle who had for some reason become obsessed, "Crazy."

He then said to Ling Xiaohan, "There’s food over there, let’s go have something to eat."

Gao Weiwei stood rooted to the spot, her chest heaving with anger for a long time before she clenched her fists, grinding her teeth.

As the belle of Binhai University, this was the first time she had experienced such an embarrassing situation.

"He’s definitely doing this on purpose, to destroy my self-esteem and then show me kindness, making me grovel to him. Chen Fan, you underestimate me too much, I will never fall into your trap!"

She tried to calm herself and held her proud head high once again.

Ma Shihao came over, "Weiwei, don’t stoop to that guy’s level. Even if he’s rich, he’s just a nouveau riche, not worthy of you."

Gao Weiwei snorted and shoved the brooch back into Ma Shihao’s chest, "Take it back, I don’t like it."

Then she turned and left.

Ma Shihao stood there, dumbfounded.

It was a misplaced effort after all.

After a little while, the sound of melodious music filled the hall.

Many people headed to the dance floor in the hall to dance ballroom dances.

Ling Xiaohan really liked this event and asked Chen Fan if he wanted to dance together. Chen Fan expressed no interest, so Ling Xiaohan had to go find a classmate to dance with.

Chen Fan stood alone in the food area, waiting for Tang Chuchu’s arrival.

Ma Shihao approached Gao Weiwei again, "Weiwei, may I have the honor of dancing with you?"

Gao Weiwei shook her head, "Sorry, I don’t really feel like dancing."

As she spoke, she kept glancing over at Chen Fan.

She had observed Chen Fan several times already.

After a bit of hesitation, she still stood up and approached Chen Fan, extending a hand in front of him.

Chen Fan was puzzled, "What’s up?"

Gao Weiwei held her head high, "Dance, obviously. You’ve been standing here waiting, isn’t it because you’re waiting for me to come to you?"
