Taking advantage of the beauty being poor, fooling her into being my girlfriend

Chapter 778: Chapter 778 Almost Gave Myself Away

“Slap!”

At a deserted spot in the school.

The freckled girl’s face received a solid slap.

She looked at Zhou Mengmeng with aggrieved eyes, “Why did you hit me?” n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Zhou Mengmeng was about to implode with frustration at her pig-headed teammate.

She clenched her teeth and said, “Who asked you to lead the charge in demeaning An Nuonuo?”

She had her own plans and rhythm.

Moreover, Jiang Xu was no fool; he would surely see through such blatant attempts to belittle and demean.

And just now, he had posted on the forum to stand up for his wife.

From the information Zhou Mengmeng had silently collected on Jiang Xu over the years,

He would definitely send someone to investigate who was causing the trouble behind the scenes.

By then, her involvement would be exposed.

It would then be very difficult to get close to Jiang Xu again.

Zhou Mengmeng’s expression kept changing.

In the end, she decided to take the risk.

She took out her mobile phone, logged into the forum, and sent a private message to Jiang Xu.

The school forum had features for students to add friends and send private messages to facilitate communication and friendship.

Zhou Mengmeng’s thumbs flew across the keyboard, and then she sent the message.

——————

On the other side, Jiang Xu had almost finished eating.

At that moment, his phone vibrated slightly.

A private message from the forum?

He clicked to open it and found it was from Zhou Mengmeng:

[I’m sorry, Brother Xu, it was me who caused the trouble on the forum. I don’t dare to ask for your forgiveness, but I still have to say I’m sorry to you]

Jiang Xu stared at that message for a few seconds, yet he didn’t reply.

He only trusted the information his inside men at the school could bring him.

Soon enough, his informants sent him a message.

The trouble was caused by a girl named Chen Na.

And this Chen Na was a good friend of Zhou Mengmeng’s, or more appropriately, her lackey.

Although he had only met Zhou Mengmeng once, Jiang Xu could tell she was a smart girl.

It was unlikely she would do something so foolish herself.

Nine times out of ten, the lackey had taken things into her own hands trying to please her master.

Forget it, it wasn’t a big deal.

Plus, with those negative comments on the forum having disappeared, Jiang Xu couldn’t be bothered to pursue it further.

He also had no intention of replying to Zhou Mengmeng.

On the first day of the new semester of their junior year, Jiang Xu and An Nuonuo decided to spend the whole day at school.

They had a class in the morning and a specialized course in the afternoon.

After the classes, the two went to the library to read books.

Yes.

They occasionally needed to immerse themselves in culture to avoid the smell of money becoming overpowering.

Jiang Xu needed to earn money, but he also needed to maintain his demeanor.

“There they are~” Zhou Mengmeng spotted Jiang Xu and An Nuonuo.

She hadn’t followed them on purpose; she honestly just loved reading books.

After thinking for a moment, she went over to greet them and then hid in a corner to quietly read on her own.

Zhou Mengmeng understood better than anyone that haste makes waste.

Even after her second encounter with them, Zhou Mengmeng didn’t ask Jiang Xu for his contact information.

As an ambitious woman with goals, what she didn’t lack was the patience to play the long game.

Around her, many boys started to appear.

They all pretended to be reading, but their attention was on Zhou Mengmeng.

Each one let out an internal gopher’s screech:

Ah ah ah, this girl is so innocent, so cute, and her figure is absolutely amazing.

Love it!

Zhou Mengmeng was fully aware of these men around her, but she didn’t pay any attention to them at all, pretending not to know, and focused solely on reading her book.

————————

Night had fallen.

In a private room of a restaurant near the school.

Zhou Qingyue looked at the girl in front of her, who bore some resemblance to herself.

She couldn’t help but feel emotional, “Sister, I didn’t expect you to have grown so much and to be so beautiful.”

“I’m not as pretty as you, sister,” Zhou Mengmeng replied with a sweet smile: “I’m just an ugly girl who’s not presentable.”

“Don’t talk nonsense, you are even prettier than me now, and you have a better figure.”

Zhou Qingyue meant every word of it.

As a child, Zhou Mengmeng was thin and small, like a piece of charcoal.

Who would have known that she would grow up to be so attractive?

Although she wasn’t as beautiful as An Nuonuo, the gap between them wasn’t so vast that it couldn’t be bridged.

And Zhou Mengmeng had youth on her side.

“What major did you choose?” Zhou Qingyue asked.

Zhou Mengmeng replied obediently, “Finance.”

“Finance?” Zhou Qingyue frowned. “I advise you to switch majors right away. Finance isn’t for the average person.”

Many people think that after graduating with a degree in finance, they’ll be in suits and shoes, working at big investment banks.

Commanding respect and easily manipulating tens or even hundreds of billions in the stock market.

But in reality—

After graduation, it means selling insurance.

Zhou Qingyue, having struggled in society for so many years, naturally knew many insider details that others were unaware of.

“It’s okay, I’m just interested in finance,” Zhou Mengmeng said with a beaming smile:

“If I can’t find a job after graduation, I’ll rely on my cousin.”

“Alright,” Zhou Qingyue smiled indulgently. “If all else fails, you can debut, and I’ll promote you to become a big star.”

Zhou Qingyue now had the status to make such statements.

Zhou Mengmeng’s eyes lit up. “Then thank you in advance, sister.”

Seeing Zhou Mengmeng so happy, Zhou Qingyue also felt very good.

Out of the entire extended family, Zhou Qingyue only had affection for Zhou Mengmeng.

This sister, although she maintained contact after she became famous, never asked her for a penny.

Zhou Qingyue tried several times to give her money, but she refused.

Speaking of Zhou Mengmeng’s family situation, it was similar to Zhou Qingyue’s.

They both came from families that favored males over females and were utterly parasitic.

Zhou Mengmeng was able to attend college in Magic City because of her good grades, which led to the school waiving her tuition and dormitory fees; otherwise, her family wouldn’t have allowed her to study there.

Their idea was to wait until Zhou Mengmeng graduated; having the label of a university degree from a prestigious school, she could be married off… for a good price and a hefty dowry.

After a full meal.

Zhou Qingyue took out a stack of money and placed it on the table.

It looked to be about a hundred thousand yuan.

She said quickly, “You need a lot of money to go through college.”

“Here’s a hundred thousand yuan, and you must take it, or I will no longer consider you my sister.”

“I have something else to do, so I have to go now, goodbye.”

After saying that, without waiting for Zhou Mengmeng to respond, Zhou Qingyue decisively stood up and left quickly.

A softness flickered in Zhou Mengmeng’s eyes.

Her sister was, as always, good to her.

Zhou Mengmeng accepted the money.

Just as she was about to leave, her phone rang.

It was an unmarked number.

At that moment, Zhou Mengmeng’s demeanor underwent a drastic change.

From a naive sweet girl, she transformed into a domineering female CEO seemingly in charge of a hundred-billion business empire.

She hit the answer button, her voice cold: “Speak.”
