The two of them quickly settled on an apartnt, eschewing opulent but impractical sizes for a one-bedroom, one-living room, plus a small kitchen, located in a neighborhood just over ten minutes’ walk from the hospital.
According to convention, they paid a three-month deposit, and though the landlord initially asked for six thousand a month, Li Shuru bargained a full thousand off the price.
It wasn’t a lot of money, but enough to make Jiang Chen take another look at her.
Before eting Li Shuru, he instinctively felt that she was the type to spend freely, but since getting to know her, his impression of Li Shuru kept changing.
Gossip truly can’t be fully trusted.
“Do you think I’m foolish?
Even though it’s near the hospital, her apartnt isn’t that well-decorated, and it’s an old building, too.
Five thousand is enough.”
Li Shuru was serious about insisting on paying the rent herself.
One had to admit, her reasoning was sound, no issues there, but sothing always felt a bit off about it coming from her mouth.
Jiang Chen gave a wry laugh.
“Didn’t expect the goddess to be so down-to-earth.”
“Are you mocking ?” Li Shuru glanced at him.
“Not at all, I’m sincere.”
“In front of you, I can’t exactly call myself a goddess, can I, Mr.
Trillionaire.”
Li Shuru emphasized the words “Mr.
Trillionaire” very heavily.
“I was talking about being down-to-earth.”
Li Shuru’s voice faltered.
Jiang Chen erupted into hearty laughter.
The Parala drove back into the hospital.
“Alright, you can go back, I’ll go up on my own.”
Jiang Chen, who had been about to open the door to get out, paused.
“Two hundred plus three hundred, that’s five million in total.
With so much money, my mom will probably find it really hard to accept.
Let go talk with her slowly.”
Li Shuru explained.
Jiang Chen also thought it made sense.
In front of him, Xue Mingqin would probably be too embarrassed, so letting Li Shuru take her ti to work on persuading her seed the best option.
“Alright then.”
“Be careful on your way.”
In a gentle voice, Li Shuru said this as she opened the door and got out of the car.
[Li Shuru’s affection for you 20]
This ti, Jiang Chen did not feel surprised at all.
On the contrary, he felt that an increase of only twenty was a bit stingy.
After all, at this exact mont, Li Shuru might be at the lowest, most vulnerable point in her life, and his help was genuinely like sending charcoal in snowy weather.
After all his hustle and the three million he even coughed up, her affection had just barely reached 50.
Regarding this, Jiang Chen didn’t feel any dissatisfaction.
The sudden mishap in Li Shuru’s family had inadvertently given him an excellent opportunity.
90.
The goal that once seed so out of reach now seed within days of attainnt.
As he watched Li Shuru vanish from sight, Jiang Chen withdrew his gaze and turned the car around.
————
As the Parala entered the gate of East Sea University, Jiang Chen had already reviewed his current expenses for the “fawning over dogs” fund.
From the ti of receipt to now, he had spent just over ten million.
In other words, if he were to complete the task of winning over Li Shuru right now, he would instantly transform into a millionaire.
Millionaire.
It sounded good, but in reality, with the rapid developnt of the tis, a millionaire was no longer considered wealthy, just an ordinary citizen, not to ntion in the expensive East Sea.
Take for example the house Jiang Chen had just rented for Li Shuru’s mother, which probably totaled sixty square ters.
If sold at the current market rate, it would likely fetch five to six million!
In other words, so-called millionaires in East Sea might not even be able to afford a bathroom.
Thinking this, Jiang Chen couldn’t help but sigh inwardly, why was there only a ten percent cashback?
Wouldn’t it be nice to have the full amount?
Because his mind was preoccupied, his attention inevitably wandered.
A figure suddenly darted out from the roadside, and by the ti Jiang Chen reacted and slamd on the brakes, it was still too late.
“Hiss…
Bam.”
The Palara ca to a halt, and realizing he had hit soone, Jiang Chen quickly got out of the car.
“Classmate, are you okay?”
In front of the car, a girl with a delicate face like that of a comic book character was lying on the ground, her pants torn and her palms scraped raw, her brow furrowed in pain, and a sketchpad lay beside her.
Jiang Chen hurried over, not taking the ti to admire the girl’s beauty.
“Do you even know how to drive?”
The girl’s voice was pleasing to the ear, like a clear spring bubbling over stones, just that when she looked up and saw clearly the person who had hit her, her large, bright black eyes couldn’t help but freeze for a mont.
“I’m really sorry, let take you to the hospital.”
Jiang Chen wanted to help her up but was also wary of the proprieties between n and won, and for a mont, he didn’t know whether to advance or retreat.
Driving while distracted.
It truly was his fault, but he couldn’t have anticipated soone darting out from the woods.
But having hit soone was having hit soone; he wouldn’t shirk responsibility.
“Can you stand up?”
The girl pursed her tender lips, surprisingly not showing any further anger, and got up from the ground with a limp.
Since the car wasn’t going fast, she probably wasn’t seriously hurt, but the sight of blood on her pale hand was indeed pitiful.
Such a person should be cherished and carefully protected in the palm of one’s hand.
Jiang Chen helped her pick up the sketchpad and realized why she had run out of the woods when he saw the landscape painting on it.
“Get in the car.”
Seeing that she could stand up, Jiang Chen let out a sigh of relief but didn’t dare to take her condition lightly, who knows if there might be internal injuries.
It was then that he noticed the girl’s striking beauty: her delicate nose, soft skin, obsidian-like manga eyes, and especially her thick and fluffy pigtails which were enough to break down any man’s resistance.
If so creep with a particular fetish saw her, they’d probably lose control on the spot and turn into a wolf.
“No need.”
The girl reached for the sketchpad in Jiang Chen’s hand, seemingly intent on not making a fuss.
“Your hand is still bleeding, it needs to be dressed.
I’m sorry, but I really didn’t an it, I’m not a bad person.”
Jiang Chen initially thought she was scared or guarded, but her response made him pause in surprise.
“I know you’re not a bad person.”
After a brief mont of astonishnt, Jiang Chen responded with uncertainty, “… You know ?”
“I’ve heard of you.”
Although the girl’s voice didn’t carry much anger, her beautiful eyebrows were still furrowed, evidently in pain.
“Since you’ve heard of , then you would know I’m also a student at East University.
Your hand really needs dressing, and other areas need to be checked too.
If you don’t want to go to the hospital, then let’s go to the infirmary.”
Jiang Chen’s expression was sincere as he tried to appear as harmless as possible.
The girl with the flawless features glanced at him, then down at her bleeding hand, and perhaps feeling that going back like that would be a bit scary, she fell silent for a mont before finally nodding.
Jiang Chen opened the car door for her and placed the sketchpad inside.
“Get in.”
