Chapter 55: The target of the show-off wasn’t you

Just then, Tang Shi’s gaze turned this way.

Wang Dong wasn’t sure whether Tang Shi had heard anything, and he warned her with his eyes. “Don’t meddle in my business!”

Tang Shi startled, and a strong sense of unease rose in her chest.

“It’s already eight thirty. I don’t think Su Qian is coming,” Zhang Yu said, checking the time.

Lu Jia Jia frowned slightly.

She felt a little disappointed too.

She had originally wanted to show off in front of Su Qian.

Just then, the private room door was slowly pushed open, and Su Qian appeared in the doorway.

She wore a simple yet stylish dress. Her makeup was light, and her aura was outstanding.

Her gaze calmly swept over everyone.

At a glance, she saw Chen Zi Hao beside Lu Jia Jia.

[He looks decent enough. No wonder he can live off women.] Su Qian thought to herself.

Inside the Chat Group in her mind, she took a photo and sent it.

“Scumbag spotted. Too bad there’s no livestream function in the group. Otherwise I’d livestream me wrecking him,” Su Qian sent in the group.

Jiang Xiao Yu (Apocalypse Survival): “Not gonna lie, he’s kind of cute. No wonder he had Meng Qi completely fooled.”

Lin Yue didn’t agree. “What’s the point of being cute? If his character is bad, everything else is useless.”

Xia Meng Meng cursed, “Shifty eyes. One look and you know he’s not a good person.”

Shen Meng Qi popped up excitedly. “Su Qian darling, love you, love you. Even if you can’t livestream, at the key moment you can record a video!”

Hearing that, Su Qian finally remembered.

She had unlocked new group functions last time.

It seemed she could send group videos now.

She replied in the group, “Deal! Don’t worry. I’ll add some fun to your boring days.”

Xia Meng Meng (Cultivation Cannon Fodder): “Sister Qian Qian, you have to teach this scumbag a lesson!”

Su Qian was chatting with the sis from other worlds, so in reality she looked like she was spacing out.

Her gaze happened to rest on Chen Zi Hao.

From Chen Zi Hao’s point of view, the private room door opened, and a woman with an outstanding aura stood there, staring right at him.

That made a trace of pride rise in his heart.

Lu Jia Jia noticed something off about Chen Zi Hao. Following his gaze, she saw Su Qian.

Lu Jia Jia frowned, feeling irritated.

Su Qian’s lips lifted slightly into a confident smile.

“Sorry. There was traffic, so I’m late,” Su Qian said.

Her voice was clear and lively, without a trace of timidness or anxiety.

Everyone fell silent.

Surprise showed on their faces.

“You are…?” someone asked.

This graceful, fresh-looking woman made them hesitate to recognize her.

Su Qian lifted her chin. “What, you don’t recognize me? I’m Su Qian.”

Everyone looked even more shocked.

This stunning, elegant girl was that country bumpkin Su Qian?

No way.

Lu Jia Jia widened her eyes too. The Su Qian in front of her was completely different from the one she had run into at the mall a few days ago.

Su Qian didn’t bother reacting to them.

She walked straight to an empty seat and sat down. As if by accident, she set her car keys on the table.

A classmate reacted quickly.

“I get it. She must’ve dressed up for the class reunion on purpose. But seriously, with this look, she’s like a different person,” the classmate said, sounding like they’d just figured it out.

“This whole outfit must’ve cost at least half a year of her salary, right?”

“So she’s just pretending to be rich,” another classmate added, wearing a disdainful expression.

They muttered quietly, but Su Qian’s hearing was sharp, and she heard every word.

Su Qian narrowed her eyes slightly, but there was no displeasure on her face.

“Yeah, it’s rush hour. The subway really is crowded. It’s understandable if you’re late,” Lu Jia Jia said, coming back to herself and mocking her.

In her mind, she agreed with those classmates.

She thought Su Qian was just putting on a show for the class reunion, pretending to be rich.

“Squeezing onto the subway?” Su Qian smiled faintly. “I didn’t come by subway.”

Her calm, confident tone instantly hooked everyone’s curiosity.

Lu Jia Jia frowned and asked suspiciously, “Then how did you come? Don’t tell me you took a taxi.”

Su Qian shook her head. Unhurried, she picked up the car key on the table and toyed with it.

“I drove,” Su Qian said.

Lamborghini!

Everyone’s eyes locked onto the key, their pupils tightening.

The private room fell dead silent.

They were so shocked by the Lamborghini key in Su Qian’s hand that no one could speak.

Impossible. It had to be a model, right?

They’d been classmates with Su Qian for four years. How could they not know her family situation?

“You have a car? Don’t tell me it’s rented,” a classmate blurted out.

Su Qian smiled calmly. “Rent? No need. It’s my own car.”

Her gaze was composed and steady, and it flicked toward Chen Zi Hao from time to time.

When their eyes met, Chen Zi Hao felt a surge of excitement.

“A key model can shock you all like this?” Lu Jia Jia said with disdain.

Her face was full of mockery. She clearly didn’t believe Su Qian really owned a Lamborghini.

“Yeah, yeah, it’s definitely a model,” another classmate quickly echoed.

Su Qian didn’t care. She only raised an eyebrow.

Whether they believed it or not meant nothing to her.

The one she was showing off to was Chen Zi Hao.

As long as she achieved her goal, that was enough.

Su Qian calmly put the key back into her bag.

A sharp-eyed classmate immediately recognized it. “Wow, Su Qian, your bag looks like the same brand as Jia Jia’s.”

Well.

Now it wasn’t Su Qian trying to show off.

They had brought it up themselves.

Everyone’s attention snapped to Su Qian’s bag.

“A Chanel bag?” someone exclaimed.

A short-haired classmate gasped. “Su Qian, did you really strike it rich?”

Su Qian smiled. “I wouldn’t say I struck it rich. I just got lucky. I made a few small investments and earned a bit of money.”

A classmate couldn’t hold back their curiosity and quietly searched it on their phone.

When they saw the online price, they were so shocked they nearly dropped the phone.

“Oh my god! Chanel Diamond Forever—it’s over a million!” the classmate cried out.

Everyone looked stunned.

“Jia Jia’s bag is only around 300,000,” someone muttered.

Lu Jia Jia’s face turned extremely ugly.

She never expected Su Qian to have such an expensive bag.

“Su Qian, your bag isn’t fake, is it? Online prices aren’t always accurate,” Lu Jia Jia said, forcing herself to stay calm.

Su Qian smiled lightly. “It’s not that expensive. The online price might be inflated. Besides, it’s just a bag. It doesn’t prove anything.”

After hearing that, everyone looked thoughtful.

Some felt Su Qian was being modest.

Some felt Su Qian had bought a fake to show off.

But none of that mattered to Su Qian. What mattered was that Chen Zi Hao’s gaze was growing hotter and hotter.
