Chapter 360 – 390: The Angry Li Mengjie
Chapter Three Hundred Ninety

Turns out this guy is actually rich.

Driving a convertible Ferrari, no less.

Last time, he showed up in a beaten-up pickup truck just to show off, this guy really knows how to play.

Li Mengjie snapped back to reality after a long while, feeling shocked and somewhat aggrieved. You claim to be rich, right, and yet you act so stingy towards me, as if buying me a bracelet is beneath you. After all, I’m a campus belle, and although different from Chun Tao, I have my own strengths. Am I really that unworthy?

“Taozi, get in the car,” Long Xiaoshan called out.

Chun Tao got into the car, and Long Xiaoshan said, “Classmate Li, sorry, you’ll have to drive yourself.”

Li Mengjie nodded coldly.

She settled into her own little MINI, and both cars soon left the parking lot.

From a sports car parked by the roadside, Han Mu sat inside, staring in astonishment as the Ferrari drove away.

He had just witnessed Long Xiaoshan driving this Ferrari.

Many things suddenly became clear. No wonder this guy could still show up at school, alive and kicking, after having brawled with Butcher Liang at Dihao Entertainment City. He had been playing possum all along. He pulled out his phone, thinking of warning Qiu Chen that this kid wasn’t so simple, especially since Qiu Chen was planning revenge after being beaten up.

But he ended up pressing the end call button just as the call went through.

Find adventures on

Qiu Chen wasn’t any better; relying on his family background, he even snatched away girls Han Mu was interested in, and even though it was all for fun, it’s still a blow to one’s pride, for no man likes to be cuckolded, even in a casual fling.

So, he lost the urge to warn Qiu Chen.

He might as well let them fight it out like dogs.

Long Xiaoshan sped off with Chun Tao in the car.

They arrived at a somewhat renowned private restaurant. Li Mengjie had an unpleasant meal and soon bid farewell to Long Xiaoshan and the others.

Watching Li Mengjie drive off in her MINI, Chun Tao said, “Little Xiaoshan, do you think Mengjie is unhappy?”

“What’s with all these troubles? These young ladies are just too troublesome. None are as cute and gentle as my Taozi. Let’s ignore her and just have fun today,” said Long Xiaoshan, who couldn’t be bothered with Li Mengjie’s mood. If anyone should feel bummed, it was him, having given away a bracelet worth a hundred million, and still, Li Mengjie had no right to be upset.

Chun Tao felt a sweet tightness in her heart, yet she said, “Mengjie may seem cold on the outside, but she has a good heart. She has helped me with all sorts of problems at school; don’t talk badly about her.”

“Alright, whatever my wife says is right. Let’s go, first, we’re off to see a movie,” Long Xiaoshan said, holding Chun Tao’s hand, having already put Li Mengjie out of his mind.

Even if Li Mengjie helped Chun Tao, today’s gift of the bracelet was repayment enough.

He felt no remorse whatsoever.

“Okay! What movie are we going to see?” Chun Tao asked excitedly, her face lit up. After getting into the car, she tentatively asked, “Xiaoshan, does this count as a date?”

Having lived in the city for a while and influenced by the university environment, Chun Tao was no longer the naive country widow she once was. Outwardly, she was indistinguishable from the stylish city girls. The college students often talked about dating, eating out, and watching movies–all things she had overheard and longed for. It’s just that Long Xiaoshan had always been too busy to spend much time with her.

Just because she didn’t say it didn’t mean she didn’t want to date like an ordinary girl and go out with the man she loved.

Long Xiaoshan saw that glimmer of hope in Chun Tao’s eyes and felt a sourness in his heart. He hadn’t accompanied her enough, even though they had already been to bed together, he hadn’t given her the proper dates and romance that a boyfriend should.

He lifted Chun Tao’s hand and tenderly kissed the back of it, “Yeah, I’m on a date with my dear wife today, and from now on, I will make more time to date you, okay?”

With her eyes reddening, Chun Tao hugged Long Xiaoshan’s hand and said, “Little Xiaoshan, you’re going to spoil me this way, and you have so much to do right now. I don’t want you wasting your time on me. I’m already happy if you can spend time with me once in a while.”

“Silly! No matter how much I have to do, none of it is as important as you. When I saw you fall just now, you can’t imagine how I felt. If that guy had really hit you, I would have killed him,” Long Xiaoshan revealed a hint of panic in his eyes.

“Little Xiaoshan.” Chun Tao threw herself into Long Xiaoshan’s arms, her heart filled with indescribable emotions and tenderness.

…

A dark green MINI pulled back into one of the villas in Golden Dragon Garden.

After Li Mengjie parked the car, she strode into the villa with a very annoyed expression.

“Mengjie, you’re finally back! Your cousin Han Xu has been waiting for you for quite a while,” a woman in her forties, who resembled Li Mengjie, said upon seeing her walk in.

“Cousin.” Li Mengjie greeted the well-dressed, handsome young man sitting on the sofa and then sat down to the side, playing with her phone without uttering a word.

“Mengjie, how could you be so rude and not talk to your cousin?” the woman said.

“Mom, can’t I be tired?” Li Mengjie said.

“Mengjie, did someone make you angry? Tell your cousin, and I’ll teach him a lesson,” Han Xu said with a gleam in his eye.

“Nobody did. I’m just in a bad mood,” Li Mengjie thought of Long Xiaoshan and became irritated.

However, she wouldn’t really speak of Long Xiaoshan. After all, he wasn’t anything to her, just her classmate’s boyfriend. If people knew she got upset over her classmate’s boyfriend, what would she, Li Mengjie, turn into?

Even if it were her own boyfriend dare to treat her like that, she would dump him on the spot.

Unfortunately, Long Xiaoshan wasn’t her boyfriend, and she had no outlet for her frustration.

“Feeling down? There’s a Yu Feifei concert tonight at Tianfu, and I have two VIP tickets. Do you want to go and unwind?” Han Xu immediately suggested.

“I don’t want to go,” Li Mengjie refused.

“It’s your cousin Han Xu’s kind gesture, Mengjie. Didn’t you say you liked Yu Feifei the most?” Mother Li added.

“I already said I don’t want to go, Mom, you’re so annoying,” Li Mengjie knew what Mother Li was up to, trying to match her with her cousin since Han Xu’s family business was thriving and he was one of Xichuan’s top ten outstanding youths, managing assets worth billions at a young age.

Although Han Xu was the prince charming every woman dreamed of–well-cultured, wealthy, and handsome–she always lacked that spark with him. Moreover, since they were related within three generations, she felt awkward about the idea of dating her cousin. What if their children had problems?

“You child,” Mother Li was somewhat angry.

“Auntie, if Mengjie doesn’t want to go, let’s forget it,” Han Xu said with a slight smile, always courteous and indulgent towards Li Mengjie.

Feeling a bit embarrassed about Han Xu’s graciousness, Li Mengjie grasped at straws and said, “Cousin, you said last time that you came to attend the auction. Anything interesting happen?”

“Speaking of the auction, it was truly an eye-opener. You would never guess how astonishing the items up for auction were,” Han Xu said, his eyes shining with a hint of excitement, speaking somewhat exaggeratedly.
