Chapter 115: 115 The Frog Prince (Seeking monthly votes! Thanks for the tips!)

Xu Siyi woke up in a hotel.

Of course.

Alone.

After chatting with Liang Zhenlun last night, she had no interest in drinking anymore. Quite a few animals had offered to take her back to the hotel or to take her for a drive, but she had refused them all.

She indeed had quite a few boyfriends before, all without exception, rather wealthy. It was precisely because of this that she was actually quite picky.

She wasn’t someone who would sleep with just anyone casually.

After checking into the hotel last night, Xu Siyi lay in bed, tossing and turning; despite being very exhausted, she just couldn’t fall asleep.

The moment she closed her eyes, Liang Zhenlun’s words would uncontrollably pop into her mind.

Jiang Chen.

The infamous number one fawner in school.

At the same time, a bona fide pauper.

But Liang Zhenlun had said that such a guy came up with three million to pay for Shu Rui’s father’s treatment.

Ridiculous, right?

Absurd, right?

It was like a complete fantasy!

However, the way Liang Zhenlun spoke last night, he didn’t seem to be spouting nonsense. Moreover, Liang Zhenlun had no reason to lie to her from any angle.

Could it be that everyone was fooled?

Was Jiang Chen really a "Frog Prince"?

After waking up, Xu Siyi lay in bed and before she knew it, she had thought about it for another half an hour.

All of a sudden, she threw off the blankets, found her phone, and without even bothering to wash up, made another call to Liang Zhenlun.

"Dudu dudu dudu..."

No one answered.

Call again.

After calling four or five times in a row, someone finally picked up.

"Who?!"

Liang Shao must have still been asleep; his voice carried the anger of being woken up, and faint moans from a girl could be heard in the background.

For a rich second generation like him, taking a girl home from the bar was all too easy.

Xu Siyi wasn’t in the mood to deal with his philandering and got straight to the point, "It’s me, Xu Siyi. Liang Shao, was everything you said last night true?"

"What did I say?"

Liang Zhenlun asked, puzzled, obviously having been really drunk the night before.

"You said Jiang Chen has always been pretending to be poor," Xu Siyi reminded.

"Did I?"

Liang Zhenlun must have been recalling the conversation, but he stubbornly refused to admit it and feigned ignorance, "I didn’t say anything. You must have heard wrong."

Hearing this, Xu Siyi’s heart could not help but find an answer.

"You go back to sleep," she said crisply before hanging up the phone and taking a deep, involuntary breath.

She always prided herself on having "Fiery Eyes"; she could tell whether a man was wealthy or not without having a conversation, just by observing him for a few seconds.

But this time, she had clearly been mistaken.

To be able to pull out three million to pay for someone’s father’s treatment indicates not only wealth but also, more importantly, generosity!

That’s a significant quality as well.

Among her past boyfriends, there were those with family fortunes over a hundred million, yet the most expensive gift she had ever received was a purse that was worth a little over twenty thousand.

No wonder there had been such a huge change in Shu Rui’s attitude.

She had always found it strange before.

Just because of the life-saving grace during a mountain hike?

Stop kidding.

Now, the truth finally came out.

Having lived under the same roof for three years, Xu Siyi knew exactly what kind of person Li Shuru was.

If Jiang Chen had truly been penniless, no matter how grateful, Shu Rui’s relationship with him would have been kept at the level of mere friends.

Feelings are always built on sufficient material foundations.

Xu Siyi couldn’t help but lift up her right wrist.

The gold bracelet was still on her wrist.

To be precise, her relationship with Jiang Chen was already considered "not bad" before he had caught Li Shuru’s eye.

It was only later, when she realized the other person wasn’t of any use to her, that she stopped paying attention to them.

Xu Siyi was overwhelmed with frustration. How could she have been so mistaken this time?

If she had gotten that three million, she could have bought a better car than Li Shuru, becoming the envy of everyone!

Xu Siyi clenched her fists.

Liang Zhenlun was in on it, but Li Shuru kept them laboriously in the dark.

What for?

Was she worried they’d steal her man?

And to think she always went on and on about sisterhood.

A trace of long-suppressed jealousy flashed through her eyes as Xu Siyi got out of bed to wash up, then slid the door open and left.

"Bang!"

————

"Bro Chen, look, isn’t that Xu Siyi?"

Bai Zheli, who had just stepped out of the dorm building, had his attention caught by something and pointed to the right.

Jiang Chen turned his head to look.

The girl who had once swindled a hefty sum from him seemed to have noticed them too, as she approached with a smile, just like the first time she hailed him at the arts college.

"Jiang Chen."

Before she arrived, her call reached him—it seemed she really was specifically waiting for him.

"You go ahead, I’ll be there in a bit."

They had originally planned to go to the library together, but now those plans were disrupted.

Bai Zheli nodded, gave Xu Siyi, who approached, a polite smile, and then left by himself.

"Don’t you have my phone number? Why wait downstairs?"

Jiang Chen was magnanimous, not holding on to the past, smiling as harmlessly as he did the first time.

"This shows sincerity."

Jiang Chen raised an eyebrow—however he heard it, that statement seemed odd.

"What’s the matter?"

Xu Siyi didn’t respond, reaching into her bag and then pulling out a stack of bills.

How familiar was this scene?

Jiang Chen was startled.

"What does this mean?"

"Before, I took your money to buy a bracelet, right? But since I didn’t help you with Shu Rui in any way, I have to return this money to you," Xu Siyi said, as if it were the most natural thing to do.

Jiang Chen was speechless.

Birds of a feather flock together indeed.

The way they handled things was strikingly similar.

But that was so long ago, and he had never complained, so why was the girl suddenly having a change of heart?

"No need, what’s given out shouldn’t be taken back."

Jiang Chen shook his head to refuse, wondering if this girl had her eye on some luxury item and was trying a new scam on him.

"If you don’t take it, then I’ll give it to Shu Rui."

Xu Siyi was insistent.

Of course, Jiang Chen understood the bluff; selling out a friend for a few thousand dollars wasn’t something one would expose willingly, unless they were out of their mind.

Nonetheless, he accepted the money, curious about what her next move would be.

In a sense, this money was like the first batch of "real cash" he’d gotten from being a ’leashed dog’. After going through so many hands, it had somehow made its way back to him.

Little did he know that Xu Siyi might genuinely have realized the error of her ways. Seeing Jiang Chen accept the money made her beam with joy, making it impossible to imagine that she once had the heart to betray a poor wretch without a dime to his name.

"Alright, then I’ll be on my way."

She seemed to have come just to return the money.

Jiang Chen stood there dumbfounded, watching her turn and leave, then glanced down instinctively at the cash in his hand, suspecting it might be counterfeit.

But as it turned out, he had misjudged a good deed with a cynical mind.

"Wait, there’s an extra five hundred here."

He called out after her.

He remembered that Xu Siyi had deceived him out of five thousand five hundred yuan, but now he had six thousand in his hand.

"Consider it interest."

The other person waved without turning back and gradually disappeared from view.
