Chapter 568: 569 (First Update)

Chu Jin wrapped herself in Mr. Mo’s suit and hurriedly climbed up the stairs.

In the dormitory, Yin Wu saw her return and couldn’t help but tease, "Jin, that suit seems a bit ill-fitting on you."

The suit by Mo Zhixuan was quite large on her, making her appear as if a child had sneaked into an adult’s clothing, which didn’t come off as comical but instead had its own charm.

The dark blue, handmade suit, although lacking a signature logo, was clearly not made of any ordinary fabric.

Yin Wu subconsciously thought that the owner of the suit was definitely not an ordinary person.

Although the last time she had seen Mo Zhixuan, he had been driving a very common Volkswagen, the overwhelming aura he radiated was incomparable to anyone else’s.

Chu Jin quickly took off the suit and casually picked up a white shirt to put on, "Little Wu, I’m going out for a bit, see you."

"Where are you going?" Yin Wu propped herself up from the bed and curiously asked.

"Going to have dinner with my boyfriend." As she spoke, Chu Jin had already walked out the door.

In the corridor, Qiao Muyan and Liu Meng Haoran were walking upstairs. Chu Jin was in a hurry to go downstairs, and, with many people coming and going, she did not notice the two of them.

"Where is she rushing off to?" Liu Meng Haoran glanced sideways, puzzled; if she wasn’t mistaken, it seemed that Chu Jin’s arm was draped with a men’s suit.

Liu Meng Haoran felt on instinct that the suit had something to do with the man standing at the bottom of the dormitory building.

The man had a jade-like face and an extraordinary bearing, clearly not just anyone.

Chu Jin really had good fortune; not only was she attractive, but she also had such an impressive boyfriend. No wonder she didn’t even consider Qiao Muyan; the heavens truly weren’t fair, why did it give all the best things to one person.

"Why do you care so much?" Qiao Muyan spoke with evident impatience; having not bumped into Song Shiqin when she came downstairs, she was in a bad mood.

Song Shiqin was clearly there for her, but now she couldn’t find him, nor did he take the initiative to look for her, which made her very anxious.

Liu Meng Haoran was also somewhat angry; Qiao Muyan really had the temper of a spoiled young lady. She hadn’t offended her, so why was she acting so superior and speaking so sharply? It was as if she had swallowed an explosive! If it weren’t for wanting some benefit from her, she wouldn’t bother to flatter her! Who did she think she was!

"I heard she already has a boyfriend," Liu Meng Haoran continued, although she was very dissatisfied with Qiao Muyan’s attitude and harboring a ball of anger inside, her face still showed a smile, "Right now, I must do my best to please Qiao Muyan."

Only that way could she get close to Qiao Mubei.

Once she married Qiao Mubei, she’d see how she would deal with Qiao Muyan!

She had already checked, and the Qiao family had more than just Qiao Muyan as an heiress; there is an older sister above Qiao Muyan, and Qiao Mubei was the second eldest.

Qiao Mubei was the only male in the Qiao family, as well as the sole heir. Once she married Qiao Mubei, she would be the matriarch of the Qiao family!

Thinking of this, Liu Meng Haoran couldn’t help but curve her lips into a smile.

Qiao Muyan looked towards Liu Meng Haoran, "What does her having a boyfriend have to do with you?" She was already irritated! And here was Liu Meng Haoran babbling incessantly by her side! Such a lack of awareness! People like that would only ever be fit to be poor for life!

The smile on Liu Meng Haoran’s face stiffened, but she quickly returned to her natural expression.

Didn’t Qiao Muyan dislike Chu Jin? Why was she defending Chu Jin all of a sudden today? Liu Meng Haoran suddenly had a bad premonition; perhaps Qiao Muyan had changed her opinion on Chu Jin?

No! She absolutely could not allow such a thing to happen!

If Qiao Muyan and Chu Jin became friends, what would be left for her? Wouldn’t she not gain anything at all!

"I think," a trace of calculation flashed in Liu Meng Haoran’s eyes as she continued, "the man standing downstairs just now is Chu Jin’s boyfriend."

Liu Meng Haoran noticed that when Qiao Muyan had passed by the man, there were evident flashes of shock in her eyes, and she had even glanced at him several times.

Too bad, the man didn’t spare Qiao Muyan a single glance.

Upon hearing this, Qiao Muyan’s pupils contracted slightly, but she didn’t say much and quickly walked up the stairs.

Liu Meng Haoran hurriedly trotted to catch up, fearful of missing something.

Qiao Muyan stopped in front of the fifth-floor balcony, looked down from the railings, and saw the man who was usually as cold as ice; at this moment, he was looking at the girl walking towards him with a face full of indulgence.

The girl was none other than Chu Jin.

Whatever she said had caused the man to reach out and gently ruffle her hair, and even his cold, stern eyes softened, as if she was the only person in the world for him.

Although Qiao Muyan was loath to admit it, the man and woman standing together downstairs truly made a striking couple, seeming like a pair made in heaven.

Qiao Muyan’s grip on the handrail tightened, her knuckles turning slightly white. Why should she be the one disappointed in love while Chu Jin was basking in romantic success?

Why should someone so far beneath her have love?

Qiao Muyan felt extremely resentful.

Liu Meng Haoran’s lips curated a small smile as he began to speak, "Chu Jin is quite lucky indeed. Not only is she beautiful, but she has also found such a handsome boyfriend. This man clearly isn’t ordinary; he must be from a wealthy family. No wonder she’s so aloof, refusing to mingle with us. It turns out she has a big financier backing her up."

Such a comment was undoubtedly adding fuel to the fire.

Liu Meng Haoran was adept at reading people’s emotions, and with just one sentence, he had further soured the already strained relationship between the two.

Qiao Muyan frowned slightly, puzzled. Was this man the same one who drove a Volkswagen last time? Since she only saw Mo Zhixuan’s back then, she wasn’t clear if the two were the same person.

The demeanor and bearing of the man did not seem like someone who would drive a Volkswagen. These two, definitely, were not the same person!

Qiao Muyan then thought of the outrageously expensive bracelet Chu Jin wore on her wrist. It was possible that bracelet was a gift from the man downstairs.

Chu Jin really knew how to play the field! To be entangling two men at once! How shameless!

Could it be that Chu Jin was being kept by this man and then used his money to sponsor that Volkswagen-driving pretty boy?

Yes, that had to be it!

With that thought,

Qiao Muyan pulled out her phone from her pocket and took a couple of snaps of the couple downstairs, "click, click," capturing their intimate gestures that clearly indicated they were in a passionate romance.

"I’ve seen Chu Jin’s boyfriend, and it’s definitely not this man," Qiao Muyan said with a slight uplift at the corner of her mouth.

"Ah!?" Liu Meng Haoran covered his mouth in surprise, his face showing utter disbelief.

The couple downstairs had turned to walk towards the cafeteria, fingers interlocked as if they were a celestial couple, drawing envious glances.

With a sarcastic smile, Qiao Muyan continued, "The boyfriend I’ve seen is rather common in background and, moreover, a poor boy. I think she must be kept by this man."

"No way," Liu Meng Haoran said, finding it hard to believe. "She seems decent enough. I don’t think she’s that kind of person," though inside, he was seething with jealousy at Chu Jin’s fortune – to have someone willing to take care of her.

If her skills were sharper, turning the situation to her advantage wouldn’t be impossible.

After all, the financiers who kept female students were not common tycoons. Judging by the man’s appearance, he was someone who could cover the sky with one hand.

"It’s always the little white lotuses," Qiao Muyan scoffed, "innocent and kind on the surface, but scheming and cunning within, always thinking of how to entice men. This kind of woman is the cheapest."

Having grown up in a wealthy family, Qiao Muyan had seen too many gold-diggers who had no bottom lines when it came to money.

"If that’s really the case, her boyfriend is too pitiful," Liu Meng Haoran’s eyes flickered with a hint of sympathy before he added, "Men nowadays are really foolish, to be completely manipulated by a woman."

If the financier knew Chu Jin’s true character, would he continue to provide for her? If this got onto the university forum, appearing before the students and faculty, would they still call her a goddess?

Liu Meng Haoran, who loved browsing the university forum, knew that with just a few unclear photos, Chu Jin had become a sensation on the forum. Everyone unanimously believed she was the new campus belle, one likely to hold the title for four years.

The only thing is they did not yet know Chu Jin’s name and major, all speculating whether she could be from the performance department.

Liu Meng Haoran was consumed with envy. Why could Chu Jin become popular on campus without doing anything, while she, despite joining various clubs and student organizations, was ignored?

She wasn’t unattractive!

Furthermore, during her high school years, she was highly sought after. With outstanding grades and a fair complexion, she was the teachers’ darling. How had she fallen so low since starting university?

The downfall was just too great for her to accept.

Liu Meng Haoran didn’t understand that the top student from a small county, when placed in a prestigious university like Capital University, was just an ordinary student. The university attracted talent from all over, and any random student could be ten times more exceptional than her. She lacked the self-awareness to see her true reflection.

Qiao Muyan snapped back to reality and turned to look at Liu Meng Haoran, "I’ve sent the photo to your QQ."

Such a task, naturally, she wouldn’t handle personally, way beneath her status.

"Photo?" Liu Meng Haoran was stunned for a moment before realizing, "My phone was confiscated by the drill instructor." She knew that Qiao Muyan intended to use her as a pawn to expose Chu Jin’s true face through her hands.

"You only have one phone?" Qiao Muyan frowned slightly.

Liu Meng Haoran nodded, "Yeah."

She only had a single smartphone, a gift from her parents to celebrate her admission to Capital University, worth over two thousand yuan. In her eyes, it was already quite a precious item. However, compared with the tens of thousands worth of ’pears’ Qiao Muyan held, it wasn’t much at all.

"Then let’s wait until after the military training is over. Let her enjoy a leisurely month first," continued Qiao Muyan. "I’ll leave this matter to you to handle. If there is any update, I will continue to send photos to you."

"Okay," Liu Meng Haoran nodded in agreement.

This move both pleased Qiao Muyan and would expose Chu Jin’s true colors to the public, so why not do it?

Meanwhile.

Chu Jin walked toward the cafeteria with Mo Zhixuan.

All along the way, everyone passing by turned their gaze to the two, some astonished and others envious.

Surrounded by youthful students, Mo Zhixuan suddenly realized that he might truly be old.

This was, after all, his first step into a university campus.

The feeling was quite unique—standing among so many young students, as if he had grown younger himself.

His mood suddenly improved.

This was an experience he had never had before.

The cafeteria was spacious, and since it was past mealtime, there weren’t many people around, just a few students having their meals in twos and threes.

Chu Jin pinched her meal card in her hand, looked up at him with a gentle smile, and asked, "You sit here. I’ll go get you some food. Oh, right, what do you want to eat?"

Mo Zhixuan looked around with a slight frown, clearly uncomfortable with such an environment.

In fact, the dining environment at Capital University was quite good compared to other colleges, which could be considered high-end. But for Mr. Mo, it was almost no different from a street stall, and it was hard to imagine how these students could endure having all three meals a day here.

Mo Zhixuan looked down at her, "I will join you."

The two walked to the serving window and got their meals.

Perhaps it was the attractive appearances of the two that steadied the server’s hands and brought smiles to her face; she generously placed two extra small yellow croakers on their plates.

What was supposed to be a portion for one was turned into portions for two before their eyes.

"Let’s eat," Chu Jin placed the tray on the table and sat down across from him.

Mr. Mo prodded the food with his chopsticks, with a hint of distaste flashing in his eyes, "This is what you eat every day?"

"Yeah," Chu Jin nodded, "It’s really delicious. Hurry up and finish. Wasting food is shameful."

In her peripheral vision, she caught a glimpse of a military-green figure walking in. Mo Zhixuan’s eyes flickered slightly, then he suggested, "How about you feed me?"

Chu Jin was completely stunned.

She could hardly believe that the haughty Mr. Mo had said that.

It was usually the boyfriend who would feed the girlfriend.

Now it had turned around.

She couldn’t possibly have a fake boyfriend, could she?

"Are you serious?" Chu Jin raised her eyebrows slightly.

Mo Zhixuan nodded lightly, "Of course."

Chu Jin reached out to check his forehead, "You don’t have a fever, do you?" What on earth was this about?

"Feed me," Mo Zhixuan looked at her, "or else I will kiss you."

Chu Jin: "..."

Could this man be possessed?

Mo Zhixuan leaned forward, and Chu Jin quickly picked up her chopsticks, plucking a green vegetable, "Here, Mo Three-Year-Old, open wide."

Mo Zhixuan obediently opened his mouth.

"Soup," Mr. Mo said next.

Chu Jin scooped up some soup with a spoon and brought it to his lips, but Mr. Mo said, "It’s hot, blow on it."

"It’s not hot." The soup had cooled down long ago.

"If I say it’s hot, it’s hot," Mr. Mo insisted, fixing her with a deep, ink-dark gaze that clearly warned if she didn’t blow on it, he would kiss her right away!

Unsure of Mr. Mo’s actual intentions, she had no choice but to pull the spoon back and nonchalantly blew on it a couple of times. Then she brought it to his mouth, and only then did he deign to take a sip.

"Mo Three-Year-Old, what are you up to?" Chu Jin asked while feeding him.

"I’d like to eat fish. Can you pick out the bones for me?" Mr. Mo responded off-topic. The name Mo Three-Year-Old sounded quite good to him, at least it made him feel much younger.

Chu Jin raised her eyebrows slightly, "You’re getting sprightly, aren’t you?"

Mr. Mo’s voice grew softer, "Ancestor, can you save some face for me outside?" Especially in front of his rival! In front of Song Shiqin, he had to reclaim his manhood!

Let him know to back off!

"Drink your soup," Chu Jin stuffed the spoon into his mouth.

The combination of a beautiful man and woman truly drew gazes.

Besides, the girl was personally feeding the guy, blatantly displaying affection.

The few students eating there all looked in that direction.

"Holy crap! I’m going blind! A girl chasing a guy?"

"That girl is so pretty, yet she’s chasing after someone. That doesn’t make sense."

"A big guy being fed by a girl..." The speaker shook his head while commenting.

"Maybe it’s just their little couple’s way of showing affection."

One of the students brightened, "Song Bro, isn’t that girl from your class?"

With that, the others also turned their attention to Song Shiqin.

Chu Jin had already been noticed by everyone for being tasked with running laps and leading the team, coupled with her good looks.

Song Shiqin had spotted that pair the moment he walked in and of course he knew who ’that girl’ referred to.

His face darkened, and he said coldly, "Eat! Did I invite you guys here to gossip?"

His voice abruptly cut off.

The air fell into a strange silence; everyone bowed their heads to eat, not even daring to pick more dishes, just shoveling rice into their mouths.
