Online dating backfired? A wealthy heir begged me to continue lying to him.

"Tong Yao rejected Su Chen'an for half a year. I wonder if she can withstand Su's advances this time."

As soon as Su Qingyao stepped onto the stairs to the second floor, someone sent Tong Yao a message.

Miss Su is coming upstairs to find you. If she tries to throw money at you, you'd better hold on!

Tong Yao smiled proudly.

So... you're going to have to throw money at her?

What kind of spineless Tom, Dick, or Harry did she think she was?

Soon, the roommates and other students in the surrounding dormitories who had a good relationship with the news received the message.

They all crowded around Tong Yao's dormitory.

"Yaoyao, Miss Su came to see you personally. This means the Su family has already accepted you!"

"Congratulations in advance! You'll soon be the young mistress of the Su family!"

Tong Yao's lips curved slightly, but her face remained aloof.

"What, the young mistress of the Su family? I'm here to study, not to marry into a wealthy family. The young mistress of the Su family has nothing to do with me."

Many classmates praised her for her integrity.

"So what if they're from wealthy families? So what if they're rich kids? We girls at J University got in based on our own hard work and talent. We don't need men; we can build our own careers!"

Someone else whispered, "But I think Su Chen'an treats Tong Yao very well, and Su Chen'an has no scandals. Is it wrong for her to marry into a wealthy family for love?"

But no one responded to these words.

Tong Yao simply stared calmly at the doorway.

However, Su Qingyao did not appear at the door for a long time.

After a long while, people started whispering among themselves while looking at their phones.

"Miss Su didn't come up; she went downstairs!"

"Who did Miss Su go downstairs to see? I haven't heard that Miss Su is close to anyone."

"Look, look! Breaking news! Miss Su went downstairs to room 504."

"504? Who's on 504?"

"I don't know, I'm not familiar with it."

"I do know one, the one that often appears on the school forum, is 504."

"That woman who dresses up as a prostitute?"

"I heard that Su Ruan is also a rich second-generation, and Miss Su might be going to see her."

Someone scoffed, "Pshaw! You actually believe rumors!"

"That Su Ruan is just a country bumpkin who's never seen the world! A small-town exam-taker, a total fraud!"

"Tell me! What inside information do you have?"

Although they were curious about why Miss Su came to the dormitory, they were more interested in the gossip about Su Ruan, which had been making headlines recently.

Seeing that everyone was interested, the man continued to share with a sense of pride.

"You don't know, our major overlaps with theirs in some courses, and we occasionally run into each other in large lecture halls."

"When I was a freshman, I heard a rumor that Su Ruan was the top scorer in the province, so I secretly chose a seat close to her to listen to the lectures."

"Guess what? I discovered she couldn't understand a thing! Her high school knowledge is a complete mess!"

"And at that time she didn't have any money, she wore very cheap street vendor clothes, she looked unsophisticated, and she was very self-conscious, she didn't even dare to lift her head."

"But then in her sophomore year, she suddenly changed. She started dressing up, became rich, and even marketed herself as a rich second-generation."

"If you don't believe me, you can ask the other students in our large class. I don't believe I was the only one who noticed her."

There are many students at J University, and everyone is usually focused on studying, so they rarely pay attention to other students.

However, Su Ruan entered university as the top scorer in the province, so she was definitely not just followed by one or two people.

Everyone listened with great interest.

This gossip is much more interesting than the fact that Su Ruan might be a rich second-generation.

However, no one paid much attention to it.

Su Ruan's actual skill level and family background are none of their business; they're just taking it as a joke.

Tong Yao's gaze darkened.

Su Ruan was so aloof and arrogant; she had previously thought she was a true noblewoman, but it turned out she was a fake!

Unfortunately, she didn't have any photos of Su Ruan from her freshman year; otherwise, she would have definitely shown everyone what this woman really looked like.

As fellow top scorers, Tong Yao resolutely followed her own path, while Su Ruan truly disgraced them!

Fifth floor.

Su Ruan stared in astonishment at Su Qingyao outside the door.

Su Qingyao explained directly, "I have something I'd like to ask for your help with, but I couldn't find your contact information, so I had no choice but to contact you."

Su Qingyao even took out her phone and showed her QR code.

Su Ruan's mind didn't have time to process it; she just subconsciously took out her phone and scanned her face.

After adding each other as friends, Su Qingyao put her phone back into her bag.

She looked at Su Ruan, who remained calm.

She admired Su Ruan's personality; she was decisive and efficient, without being wishy-washy.

"Then I'll just say it directly."

"It may be presumptuous of me, but my mother wishes to meet you. I wonder if it's possible..."

Su Ruan knew why her mother wanted to see her; it was probably for the same reason as Su Qingyao—she felt that Su Ruan resembled their lost child.

She can understand a mother's longing for her child.

"Can."

"However, I must make it clear beforehand that it was not me who actively sought to curry favor with your Su family; it was your Su family that came to me on their own."

She knew all too well how disgusting the wealthy families in novels could be.

What's this about the real and fake heiresses? The real heiresses are found but not treated well. They favor the fake heiresses every day, thinking the real heiresses are villains who want to steal everything from the fake heiresses.

What about children who have been lost in the countryside? After they are found and brought back, they are treated with disdain and even treated as if they are their own children trying to climb the social ladder by attaching themselves to their family's wealth?

In short, it was all sorts of bizarre and vulgar things.

Although Su Qingyao seems relatively normal at the moment, that doesn't stop her from possibly having a bunch of eccentric relatives.

Su Qingyao gave a bitter smile.

What kind of bad reputation has the Su family gotten into?

She hadn't quite grasped what was happening when Su Ruan asked her yesterday whether the compensation would be returned, but she was reminded of it again today.

"Don't worry, none of your worries will happen. My mother just wants to see you."

Su Ruan nodded.

She knew that what she said was somewhat heartless.

But she has no one to rely on now; the only one who can protect her is herself.

She had to make sure she stayed away from any potential trouble as much as possible.

Seeing that Su Ruan had agreed, Su Qingyao immediately extended an invitation.

"That's perfect! I'll treat you to lunch, is that alright?"

Su Ruan nodded in agreement.

She hated that things that were out of control dragged on for too long and were too mentally taxing.

Lunch was again scheduled at Sishui Louting.

Su Ruan left the dormitory with Su Qingyao and got into Su Qingyao's car.

Some busybodies posted photos of Su Ruan and Su Qingyao going out together on the school forum, which immediately sparked a lot of speculation.

However, those speculations were mostly nonsense, and everyone could tell at a glance that they were completely unbelievable.

Until another photo appeared below that post.

That was the grove of trees outside the school building.

The two main figures in the photo are Su Ruan and Su Qingyao's younger brother, Su Chen'an.
