After depositing the money, they returned ho, where Xi Yiqian had already prepared dinner.
Shi Qiang left just after they finished their al.
Xia Liang sat on the sofa and suddenly noticed that his old university classmates' group chat, which he hadn't paid attention to in ages, had suddenly blown up. Like his other group chats, Xia Liang had muted the university group a long ti ago. Before graduation, the class officers would occasionally post announcents, but after graduation, all the groups beca the sa.
They had devolved into concentration camps for classmates to show off. They were constantly flooded with all sorts of miscellaneous ssages, like who bought what kind of car today or who bought a house sowhere else tomorrow. In short, it was nothing but endless bragging. But today, the group was unusually lively, and soone had even tagged him.
Could sothing have happened?
With a sense of doubt, Xia Liang opened the Penguin group chat. After all, he had nothing better to do at the mont. He was idle anyway, so he might as well see what was going on.
As soon as he entered the group, Xia Liang scrolled all the way to the top. At first, everyone was engaged in normal, idle chit-chat, but that was until Yin Qing appeared.
"Old Yin, I heard you bought a house in Bohai?"
"Damn, Old Yin, you're really living large! You'd better treat us all this ti!"
"Yeah, you just graduated and you can already buy a house in Bohai. It wouldn't be right if you didn't treat us."
"I bet Old Yin is the most successful one in our class, right? Not only did he get married right after graduation, but now he's bought a house in Bohai. Tsk tsk, he's a certified winner in life!"
Yin Qing sent a couple of crying-laughing emojis. "Alright, you guys can stop teasing . , the most successful? Compared to Xia Liang, I'm just a little punk."
At that, the tone of the conversation took a sharp, unexpected turn, shifting the focus to Xia Liang.
"Huh? Xia Liang? Speaking of him, I feel like I haven't seen that wimp around in a long ti. @Xia Liang"
"No way, Yin Zi, are you saying Xia Liang is the most successful one? You've got to be kidding. Didn't his family business go under? Isn't he working as a food delivery guy now?"
Yin Qing: "Fired? Delivering food? You guys actually believe that? Let tell you the truth, I ran into him today. The dude was carrying several large cases full of cash to the bank to deposit!"
After that ssage dropped, the group chat fell silent for a full two minutes.
Then, it absolutely exploded.
"???? What the hell?"
"No way! That's got to be fake, right?"
"Xia Liang depositing cash? In several briefcases?? Haha, Yin Qing, how much have you had to drink?"
Reading these ssages, Yin Qing gave a wry smile.
"I wish it were fake, but I saw it with my own eyes. I saw him use the VIP express lane at the bank."
At that mont, the entire chat group once again fell into a quiet stillness.
The next mont, it erupted again!
"Holy cow!"
"Seriously, are you kidding us? Yin Zi, we're used to you bragging about yourself, but why are you suddenly bragging about Xia Liang?"
"Exactly! How is that possible? Xia Liang cos from an ordinary family at best. Where would he get that kind of money? You're exaggerating, right?"
The people in the group were all skeptical of Yin Qing's words. After all, Xia Liang had barely said a word for four years, and now he suddenly had this much money. Their collective sentint was, *Yeah, right! We'll believe that when pigs fly, you old trickster!*
Sitting on the sofa, Xia Liang chuckled. He went to his room and took out his property deeds.
"You're right. I'm just from an ordinary family," he typed.
As he said this, Xia Liang casually took a photo of the dozens of bundles of property deeds he owned. He opened one of the deeds, which clearly showed the owner's na: Xia Liang. Then, he took a selfie with the dozens of bundles of property deeds in the background.
After these two ssages were sent, the bustling Penguin group once again fell into a dead silence.
Another two minutes passed, but a tidal wave of shock and astonishnt was crashing through the minds of everyone in the group!
"Damn, damn, damn! So this guy is the real hidden tycoon, huh?"
"Sigh, I rember Xia Liang used to date our classmate Chen i, right? Doesn't that an..."
"@Chen i, Chen i, you have to tell if this is real or fake!"
"Um, I think Chen i and Xia Liang broke up a long ti ago."
On the other end of the line, Chen i was speechless...
She felt as if she had been hit by a billion-ton teor. The endless regret in her heart was like a raging river, flowing on and on, without end! Although it had been an amicable breakup, she had personally let a multi-millionaire slip through her fingers.
After showing off, Xia Liang quickly left the group chat. After all, he had no desire to be sward with questions from his forr classmates. He closed the Penguin group app, and no matter how many tis they tagged @Xia Liang, he never reappeared.
After resting for an hour, Xia Liang went to his room and slept.
「The next day」
Xia Liang woke up to find that Luu Qi and Xi Yiqian had once again vanished without a trace. He washed up but skipped breakfast, driving straight back to the villa.
Seeing Xia Liang arrive, Zhou Ruo, who was in the middle of practicing yoga, had her eyes light up instantly.
After a round of... indescribable activities that are not fit to be written... by the ti he left the villa again, it was already afternoon.
Xia Liang went back to taking food delivery orders.
「Qingyun Comrcial Street.」
It was rare for Su Yi to go out. The main reason was that her cousin, Su Lan, had asked to et up. She hadn't wanted to go at first, but she couldn't refuse her mother, who insisted it was a good way to "strengthen their family bond."
Su Lan was accompanied by her best friend, Wenwen.
Wenwen spoke with a look of pure envy. "Yi, Lan, I heard both of you have boyfriends now. I'm the only single one left. How pathetic."
Hearing this, Su Lan put on a facade of modesty. "Ah... my boyfriend? Don't even ntion him. He's just a local from Qingyun City, one of those demolition residents. His net worth is barely over a hundred million. I'm just making do for now."
Wenwen was completely stunned, her mouth hanging wide open in an exaggerated fashion. Su Yi couldn't help but let the corner of her mouth twitch. She finally understood why she had been invited. It was all about showing off.
Wenwen couldn't contain her envy. "Wow! A local from Qingyun City, a demolition resident, and worth over a hundred million! Where did you find a guy like that, Lan? And you call that 'making do'? Your standards must be ridiculously high!"
Su Lan was very pleased with her friend's reaction, her massive ego thoroughly satisfied. "Well, he's just average. Not as handso as Yi's delivery boy boyfriend."
When Su Lan said "delivery boy," she deliberately emphasized the words, creating a stark contrast with her own boyfriend's nine-figure net worth.
Wenwen's eyes blinked rapidly. "Yi, what's going on with you? What's with your taste? Why are you dating a delivery boy?"
Su Yi, however, didn't seem to care at all and just smiled sweetly. "I think he's great, and he treats really well!"
Seeing Su Yi's reaction, Su Lan felt even more smug. "I've seen his picture. He's pretty handso, I'll give him that."
Wenwen scoffed dismissively. "A delivery boy? Does he even own a house? So what if he's honest and good-looking? A handso face doesn't pay the bills. Yi, you're really just too stubborn."
