Chapter 63: Dumb and Rich Really Is Easy to Scam

After Lu Yao said that, Su Qian suddenly understood.

Right!

The backyard environment had been thrown over by Shen Meng Qi from the Beast World.

It was absolutely natural and pollution-free!

With a special environment and the nourishment of spiritual fruit, anything you planted or raised would grow like crazy.

It made perfect sense that Ning Meng would change.

“Then doesn’t that mean that given enough time, Ning Meng can keep growing bigger and bigger?” Su Qian’s eyes lit up.

She could already imagine Ning Meng growing as big as a Siberian tiger, looking imposing.

Then, once the group upgraded and could teleport living beings, she would send it to Lin Yue.

Su Qian could not help smiling in anticipation.

“What are you thinking about?” Lu Yao saw her spacing out again.

Su Qian snapped back. “Nothing. Let’s go. We’re heading to the antique market.”

Lu Yao nodded.

They were just about to leave.

A car engine roared from the front yard.

The sound was so loud it felt like you could hear it from miles away.

Just hearing it made Su Qian’s head twitch.

She already knew who it was.

Who else could it be besides Zhou Ran, that flashy spoiled rich kid?

Sure enough, Zhou Ran drove his eye-catching Bugatti Veyron supercar and stopped in Su Qian’s front yard.

“Why are you here?” Su Qian walked over unhurriedly.

Zhou Ran climbed out, grinning brightly. “Tsk, I came to see you. What, not welcoming?”

As he spoke, he noticed Lu Yao beside Su Qian. He lifted his chin. “And this is…?”

Lu Yao also sized up Zhou Ran, a hint of scrutiny in his eyes.

He parted his lips, about to speak.

Worried Lu Yao would say something shocking again, Su Qian cut in first.

“This is my distant relative.”

“Distant relative?” Zhou Ran raised a brow, clearly unconvinced. “Never heard of anyone like that in the Su Family.”

He looked Lu Yao up and down, full of suspicion.

With Lu Yao’s looks and aura, if he really were a Su Family distant relative, Zhou Ran felt he could not possibly have never met him.

Lu Yao glanced at Su Qian and sighed inwardly.

Fine. Distant relative it was.

Zhou Ran leaned close to Su Qian and gossiped in a low voice. “Don’t tell me he’s your kept pretty-boy. So this is the type you like.”

He winked at Su Qian.

“Say the word earlier, and I could’ve introduced you to some. Don’t let the good stuff go to outsiders.”

Su Qian rolled her eyes. “He really is a distant relative. He’s from the countryside. It’s normal you haven’t seen him.”

She could not be bothered explaining and changed the subject. “Why did you come?”

“Oh right, I almost forgot the real business.”

Zhou Ran finally remembered. “The pharmaceutical factory’s first batch of medicine is already developed. Do you want to go take a look?”

Su Qian froze.

She was surprised.

She had not expected the factory’s progress to be this fast.

She thought for a moment. “Not right now. I have other things to handle. This afternoon. After I’m done, I’ll go take a look.”

“Tsk, sure.” Zhou Ran nodded. “I’ll tell Factory Director Zhao and the others.”

Then he turned and left in a hurry.

Only the roar of the engine remained, fading farther and farther away.

“You remember where you bought the stones, right?” Su Qian asked as she drove, glancing at Lu Yao in the passenger seat.

Lu Yao nodded. “I do.”

Su Qian could not help being curious. “Why did you suddenly get interested in antiques?”

Otherwise, why would he deliberately go to the antique market…

And then get scammed so badly?

Hearing her question, Lu Yao’s eyes brightened.

That was the key point!

He looked at Su Qian, the corners of his mouth lifting. “I’m interested in special stones.”

He deliberately stressed the word “special.”

Su Qian rolled her eyes. “What’s so interesting about a junk stone?”

“If you really like them…”

Su Qian paused.

Lu Yao’s heart leaped.

Was she going to have little disciple send spirit stones over?

“Someday I’ll buy you a whole basket,” Su Qian said generously.

Lu Yao: “…”

That was not necessary.

He forced a helpless smile. “No need. I’m only interested in special stones. Ordinary stones don’t matter.”

“Special stones…” Su Qian fell into thought.

She could not understand why Lu Yao was so stubborn about junk stones.

The villain’s hobbies really were different.

…

At that moment, Chen Zi Hao was inside a shop with an antique, elegant atmosphere.

After seeing Su Qian’s wealth and identity at the bar last night, Chen Zi Hao had been restless.

He was racking his brain over how to get close to Su Qian when he found the contact information Su Qian had left in his pocket.

He was overjoyed.

[Looks like Miss Su is interested in me too.]

But he had added Su Qian a long time ago, and she still had not accepted.

That made Chen Zi Hao anxious.

“Two hundred thousand. These days, dumb rich young masters really are easy to scam,” a middle-aged man in his fifties said, slightly balding, leaning back in a rocking chair.

He narrowed his eyes, a crafty smile on his lips.

“You kid, what are you doing hugging your phone and spacing out so early?” he barked at Chen Zi Hao beside him.

“N-no… nothing, Uncle.”

Chen Zi Hao snapped back to his senses under Wang De Fa’s yelling.

The man was Chen Zi Hao’s uncle, Wang De Fa.

“Well… Uncle, I came today because I want to borrow some money.” Chen Zi Hao scratched his head awkwardly. “Don’t worry. When I have money in the future, I definitely won’t treat you badly.”

If he wanted to chase Su Qian, money was absolutely necessary.

He had originally planned to sweet-talk some out of Lu Jia Jia, but after what happened last night, Lu Jia Jia still held a grudge against him.

With no other choice, Chen Zi Hao came to Uncle Wang De Fa to borrow money.

Wang De Fa narrowed his eyes and looked him over. “I knew you kid weren’t holding in anything good. Speak. How much?”

Wang De Fa had benefited plenty from Chen Zi Hao in the past.

He also knew Chen Zi Hao really did have a knack for living off women.

And thinking about it, he had just pocketed two hundred thousand yesterday. Lending some to his nephew was fine, like an investment.

Chen Zi Hao saw the opening and immediately put on a fawning smile. “Uncle, not much, just two hundred thousand. I guarantee you, once I get that girl, she’ll help our family business rise to the next level.”

“Two hundred thousand?” Wang De Fa nearly jumped up. “You kid have quite the appetite!”

He had just scammed two hundred thousand from a young man yesterday.

It had not even warmed in his hands yet.

“Uncle, you don’t get it. This girl is not ordinary. She’s super rich and powerful. If I can get her, our family will be set.”

“I have to buy expensive gifts and take her to high-end places. That’s how I win her favor,” Chen Zi Hao hurried to explain.

“Zi Hao, isn’t the girl you’re leeching off right now from a pretty good family too?” Wang De Fa did not immediately agree.

Chen Zi Hao’s expression turned awkward.

“Uncle, Lu Jia Jia has a grudge against me now. And even though her family has a little money, compared to the girl I’m going after, it’s nothing.”

“This Su Qian – she’s a real rich heiress.”
