Chu Xuan's face instantly turned a deep liver color.

He originally thought that announcing his name would intimidate everyone, but he didn't expect the other party to be completely unmoved.

This kind of ignoring is even more painful than being scolded to his face.

"Stop talking nonsense! Transfer the money!"

Chu Xuan gritted his teeth and entered the amount on his phone.

The moment he pressed the confirm button, his heart was bleeding.

That was the money he had saved to modify the exhaust pipe.

With a ding, the notification sound of the funds arriving in the account rang.

The landlord glanced at his phone, his stern face instantly relaxing into a businessman's fake smile: "Why didn't you just agree earlier? Alright, this house is yours to stay as you please."

After saying that, he led his men away.

The room fell silent.

Chu Xuan turned around and looked at Lin Ruyu, who was still in shock.

Her hair was a little messy and her makeup was smudged, but that vulnerability made her even more captivating.

"It's alright, I'm here." Chu Xuan reached out to wipe away her tears.

Lin Ruyu threw herself into his arms and buried her face in his leather jacket.

The cold touch of the leather brought her to her senses somewhat.

One hundred thousand yuan.

Chu Xuan didn't hesitate to take out 100,000 yuan for her.

Although it can't compare to Bai Jingyou's previous achievements, nor to Gao Beining's sudden burst of brilliance, in this desperate situation, this 100,000 yuan is a lifeline.

More importantly, Gao Beining is already ruined, and Bai Jingyou has changed his mind. Chu Xuan in front of her is the best card she can hold at the moment.

"Chu Xuan, I knew it... I knew you were the only one who was good to me." Lin Ruyu sobbed, her voice soft and sweet. "That bastard Gao Beining, he tricked me into coming here and then ran away... I was so scared..."

"That good-for-nothing!" Chu Xuan held the warm, soft woman in his arms, his pride greatly satisfied. "I told you long ago he was unreliable. Only I would rush to your rescue no matter what happens."

"Hmm... From now on, I'll only trust you." Lin Ruyu raised her head and looked at him affectionately with her red and swollen eyes.

Chu Xuan felt as if all the bones in his body had gone limp.

It was worth it! Spending 100,000 yuan was totally worth it!

"Come on, what's so great about staying in this shabby place? It smells musty." Chu Xuan waved his hand magnanimously. "I'll take you to get something to eat, and then I'll take you back to school. We'll show everyone that even without Gao Beining, you, Lin Ruyu, are still the princess who's the center of attention."

The red Ferrari roared out of the underground parking garage.

Chu Xuan deliberately opened the convertible top, letting the wind blow Lin Ruyu's long hair wildly.

The roar of the engine echoed through the street, drawing the attention of passersby.

Sitting in the passenger seat, Lin Ruyu tidied her hair and put on sunglasses.

That feeling of being watched has returned.

Although her stomach was still aching slightly, and the embarrassing situation from earlier was still vivid in her mind, as long as she sat in this multi-million dollar sports car, she felt superior to everyone else.

The car sped along and soon arrived at the entrance of Haicheng University.

It was during recess, and people were coming and going at the school gate.

The red Ferrari executed a beautiful drift and came to a stop in the most conspicuous position.

"Wow!"

"That must be Chu Xuan, right? I heard he just returned to the country."

"That's Lin Ruyu in the passenger seat? My god, wasn't it Gao Beining yesterday morning? They change her every single day, it's seamless!"

The surrounding chatter reached my ears.

Although some of the words were unpleasant, Lin Ruyu automatically filtered out the negative information and only enjoyed the thrill of being the center of attention.

She unbuckled her seatbelt, deliberately slowed her movements, and gracefully opened the car door.

Just then.

A pure black sedan silently glided over and stopped beside them.

Calm and composed, dignified, like a lurking black beast.

Compared to this car, the red sports car next to it looks like a noisy toy.

Lin Ruyu paused for a moment.

The rear door of the Maybach slowly opened.

A leg clad in white lace stockings stepped out, wearing a pair of round-toed black Mary Jane shoes.

Immediately afterwards, a girl jumped off the bus.

She looked young, wearing an exquisite Lolita-style dress with a voluminous skirt.

Her skin was so white it glowed, and she looked as sweet as a doll in a shop window.

The girl turned around, waved to the people in the car, and said in a clear, sweet voice, "Goodbye, Daddy! Remember to pick me up tonight!"

The car window was half-rolled down, and a deep, indulgent male voice came from inside: "Go on, but don't cause trouble at school."

The Maybach slowly drove away.

Lin Ruyu stood still, her fingernails digging deeply into her palms.

She recognized that car; its price was at least ten million.

It's more than one level more expensive than Chu Xuan's sports car.

And that girl...

As Lin Ruyu watched that figure recede into the distance, an unprecedented sense of crisis and jealousy gnawed at her heart like a venomous snake.

She is indeed beautiful, but with that style of dressing, what's with the attempt to look young?

And that word, "Dad."

Lin Ruyu's lips curled into a malicious sneer.

Having been in this industry for so long, she knows it all too well.

What father? It's just a trick used by older men to keep young mistresses.

That girl looks innocent, but who knows how dirty she might be behind the scenes.

"Tch, another one who sold himself to get ahead." Lin Ruyu muttered under her breath, her voice full of sourness.

"What did you say?" Chu Xuan had just locked the car and didn't hear clearly.

"It's nothing." Lin Ruyu took Chu Xuan's arm, pressed her body against him, and deliberately spoke loudly, "It's just that seeing some people who would abandon all shame for money makes me feel disgusted. Our young master Chu is much better, young, handsome, and rich."

Chu Xuan was flattered by the praise and followed her gaze, only to see the girl's back as she walked into the school gate.

"Who's that girl? She looks unfamiliar," Chu Xuan asked casually.

"Who knows?" Lin Ruyu rolled her eyes. "Probably a freshman, or some nouveau riche who shoved him in. Chu Xuan, I'm hungry, let's go eat."

"Okay, okay, you can eat whatever you want."

The two walked into the campus arm in arm, like two proud peacocks.

Not far ahead of them.

Feng Ling stopped and looked back at the couple.

She thinks she just heard someone talking badly about her behind her back.

She tilted her head, a hint of doubt flashing in her large, innocent eyes, like those of a fawn.

"A strange person."

She took a lollipop out of her teddy bear backpack, popped it into her mouth, and skipped and hopped toward the computer science department.

Dad said he's going to find a guy named Bai Jingyou today; he's Dad's new business partner.

I heard that guy is very handsome and has amazing skills.

Feng Ling licked the candy, the sweet strawberry flavor melting on her tongue.

Since this is someone Dad values, we should definitely get to know them properly.

......

Lin Ruyu returned to her dormitory.

When she pushed the door open, the laughter and conversation inside seemed to be abruptly stopped, as if someone had grabbed her by the throat.

Zhang Wei was sitting on the lower bunk when she saw Lin Ruyu enter. Without even looking up, she let out a very short, cold laugh: "Oh, a rare guest. I thought some people had climbed up the social ladder and would be spending their nights in mansions like Yun Jin Dongfang, looking down on us."

Another roommate, who was applying a face mask in front of the mirror, chimed in sarcastically, "Weiwei, you're so ignorant. Mansions are for the main wife. As for those who haven't even been officially recognized yet and have already been reduced to their original status, they're lucky if they can even find a place to shelter from the wind and rain."

"That's true. I heard that Young Master Gao has been put in solitary confinement. If he doesn't hurry up and find another job, he won't have time to come back and catch up with us."

The group laughed and joked as if no one else was around, but their eyes were like needles piercing Lin Ruyu.

Lin Ruyu's knuckles turned white as she gripped the Hermès Birkin bag.

In the past, she would have slammed her bag on the table to shut these bumpkins up.

But now, her pockets are emptier than her face.

"You only deserve to stay here." Lin Ruyu gritted her teeth and squeezed out the words before turning around to pack her things.

Nobody paid any attention to her.

Everyone glanced at her like she was a clown, then went about their own business. That kind of ignoring was more suffocating than direct insults.

This feeling of loneliness from being excluded from the circle instantly broke Lin Ruyu's defenses.

She grabbed her phone, rushed to the balcony, and dialed Chu Xuan's number.

"Feed? Xiaoyu?" The background noise on Chu Xuan's end was very loud, like a car race.

"Chu Xuan..." Lin Ruyu's voice instantly turned into a sob, tears welling up in her eyes. "Where are you? I don't want to stay in the dorm anymore, they... they ganged up on me..."

The roar of the engine on the other end of the phone abruptly stopped. "Who dares to bully you? These women are asking for trouble! You wait in the dorm, I'm on my way!"

After hanging up the phone, Lin Ruyu wiped away her tears, looked at the bustling crowd downstairs, and a cold smile curled at the corner of her lips.

just wait.

Ten minutes later, chaos erupted downstairs at the girls' dormitory of Haicheng University.

The red Ferrari, like a raging bull, came to a stop by the flowerbed, nearly crushing the newly planted roses.
