Chapter 85: Chapter 85: Flirt and Run

Damn!

Jiang Man was really annoyed.

She snatched the rhinestone forcefully.

Lu Xingzhou scrutinized her with his gaze, recalling how she had drunkenly tried to pull down his pants in the bathroom not so long ago.

If he were drunk now, wouldn’t that make him like a lamb to the slaughter?

"Manman, I know I am quite charming, but I am a gentleman. If you want us to be husband and wife for life, I wouldn’t mind turning our pretense into reality. But if that’s not the case, I’d still hope that both sides restrain themselves—for your good and mine."

What the heck?

Jiang Man listened in confusion.

"You don’t think I climbed into your bed last night, do you?"

"Isn’t that the case?" Lu Xingzhou asked leisurely.

"Shit!" Jiang Man rolled her eyes, irritation evident on her face as she suddenly took a quick step forward, closing in on him, "If I really wanted you, I’d do it openly, no sneaky attacks!"

While speaking, she boldly pinched the man’s butt, "Mmm, pretty firm, pretty perky."

With a smirk, Jiang Man teasingly said, "When I get the urge one day, I’ll treat you very well."

Lu Xingzhou was stunned, frozen in place.

Was he... being flirted with by a girl ten years his junior?

And the little lady flirted and fled, just like a player.

When Jiang Man came out after freshening up in the bathroom, she found Lu Xingzhou sitting by the window, lost in thought.

His gaze fixed outside the window, wondering about something.

"I’m going to school to enroll today. If you and Uncle still have business to discuss, go ahead; I’ll take my leave first."

Having said that, she boldly opened the door and left.

Lu Xingzhou watched the direction she left, and couldn’t help but smile wryly.

What’s wrong with him? A little tease from a young girl and he felt all at sea?

...

"Uncle, it’s time for school registration; I need to go there."

Jiang Man said towards the patio garden in the living room.

Hu Guanghua stood up, "What about Xingzhou?"

"He will probably head to the company later, Uncle. You guys have that ongoing collaboration to discuss, so go ahead."

"Okay, you sure you’ll be fine going to school alone?" Hu Guanghua asked with concern.

If there were any problems, he would accompany her.

"No problem, Yingfan is with me," Jiang Man replied nonchalantly.

Hu Guanghua frowned.

During the time he spent with his niece, he noticed that this young man named Wu Yingfan was always sticking close to her.

"Xingzhou doesn’t mind Wu accompanying you?"

"Don’t worry, he has no objections. Yingfan and I are just buddies, not what you’re thinking," she assured.

"Alright then." As an elder, he felt it wasn’t his place to meddle in the young people’s affairs.

Moreover, he believed that Manman was a person who knew her bounds.

...

Jiang Man drove her red G-Class to Bei Yin Academy.

Wu Yingfan had arrived early and was leaning against his Lamborghini, surrounded by numerous female college students.

The female students were quite enthusiastic, repeatedly asking for his contact details.

As Jiang Man stepped out of the G-Class and started walking towards Wu Yingfan, her phone rang in her pocket.

She took it out to see it was a call from her birth mother.

She glanced at it indifferently and hung up directly.

A little while later, her mother sent a text message.

[I just found out the news myself. Your cousin Ruirui has been admitted to Bei Yin Academy, in the same batch as you. It’s her first time in the city, and as her elder sister, please look after her.]

"Ugh." Jiang Man scoffed coldly.

She didn’t even acknowledge her own parents, why would she recognize her aunt?

"Enough chat; my sister is here,"

Seeing Jiang Man, Wu Yingfan waved his hand and said goodbye to the group of female college students.

Jiang Man walked up briskly, raising an eyebrow, "Wow, such a crowd of admirers?"

"That’s right." Wu Yingfan was quite proud.

However, Jiang Man saw through it but didn’t point it out—what those female university students were interested in wasn’t him, but his car.

If he had driven a Suzuki Alto here, he definitely wouldn’t have been this popular.

Jiang Man had attended university before, so she was familiar with the registration process.

Wu Yingfan just acted as her laborer, fetching her books and running around buying all sorts of things.

Before long, he was carrying big and small packages into the girls’ dorm.

Jiang Man’s bed was next to the door.

Two roommates had arrived early, both accompanied by their parents, bringing quilts and various other items.

In contrast, Jiang Man came alone and didn’t bring much, looking quite "pitiful."

"Manman, is this stuff enough?"

Wu Yingfan was panting as he placed the items at Jiang Man’s feet.

Jiang Man casually flipped through them.

An electric toothbrush, a folding washing machine, a baseboard heater...

"What is this junk?" she asked indifferently.

Wu Yingfan just snorted, "Don’t blame me, there are no big brand stores near the school; I could only buy these."

"Oh right, the fridge, TV, air conditioner, and the like will be delivered in a couple of days."

Upon hearing this, the other two roommates immediately cast envious glances.

Initially, they thought Jiang Man was very pitiful, but now they thought she was the rich daughter of some wealthy family.

She didn’t bring anything and bought everything new?

Wu Yingfan was very good at handling matters, fearing that Jiang Man might not get along with her roommates in the future, so he stepped forward with a smile.

"One set each."

He pulled out three sets of skincare products from a sack.

When the roommates took the items, their eyes went wide!

"La Mer? How much does one set cost?"

"Over ten thousand, a gift for our first meeting." Wu Yingfan chuckled.

The two roommates were not children of very wealthy families, at most middle-class.

Normally, they also used skincare products, but the most expensive they’d ever used was a Dior lipstick that cost three hundred yuan.

The thought of spending over ten thousand yuan on a set of La Mer was unimaginable to them.

"Thanks, bro."

"Take extra care of my sister Manman from now on." Wu Yingfan laughed.

The two roommates nodded their heads, suddenly not knowing how to show enough enthusiasm as they helped organize what Jiang Man considered a pile of junk.

Jiang Man couldn’t be bothered to interfere and leaned back in her chair playing games, out of sight, out of mind.

After an unknown length of time, there was a ’snap’ sound in the dorm.

"Hey, what’s wrong with you? Didn’t you see my phone on the bedside? The screen is shattered, you pay for it!"

"I... I didn’t do it on purpose..."

"It doesn’t matter if it was intentional or not, you broke it so you have to pay!"

"How much..."

"2000, pay me!"

"I don’t have that much money."

"What do you mean? Alright, don’t pay then I’ll call the police!"

Jiang Man frowned and scanned the surroundings, noticing that Wu Yingfan was not around and wondering where he had run off to.

In front of her, a girl dressed in unremarkable clothes, with dark skin and a thin frame, was bowing her head.

Opposite her, was one of the roommates who had received the La Mer gift from Wu Yingfan.

Jiang Man glanced at the name tag on the bed.

The roommate who received the La Mer was Zhang Ziqi, looking fierce and glaring at the girl named Wen Rui.

Wen Rui, that sounds like a boy’s name.

Jiang Man was not someone who loved to meddle, but she hated injustice.

The phone Zhang Ziqi was holding, Jiang Man recognized—it was a domestic brand that cost a little over 2000 yuan new.

Now, to extort 2000 yuan from Wen Rui just because the screen was slightly cracked?

"300 yuan, you pay her that," Jiang Man spoke flatly.
