Chapter 337: An Aura of Poverty All Over
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
After class, Rong Qi returned home with Ye Nanshen. While in the car, she received another gift—a shiny, enormous diamond.
Rong Qi’s lips twitched and asked, “What’s this now? Isn’t the transfer of several million yuan every day enough?”
However, Ye Nanshen explained, “It’s not from me. It’s from Jian Yunzhou, he said it’s for you to play with, so it’s yours to keep.”
Rong Qi was somewhat speechless. She thought, ‘Who plays with a diamond the size of an egg? It was like showing off his wealth.’
Then, Rong Qi stuffed the diamond into her backpack and said indifferently, “He gave it to you, and you accepted it? Why don’t you have any principles?”
Ye Nanshen’s lips curled up slightly and said, “1 thought the diamond had good quality, so I kept it for you. Besides, I figured you might be a bit short on such things since you’re so poor.”
Rong Qi thought sarcastically, ‘Thanks for your understanding.’
Suddenly, a thought flashed through her mind, and she tugged at Ye Nanshen, asking, “Did you transfer money to me every day because you thought I was poor?”
“Yup,” Ye Nanshen replied with a thoughtful smile, reaching out to tousle her hair affectionately. “It’s not that I find you poor; it’s just that you weren’t particularly well-off. But it’s okay, from now on, what’s mine is yours. You can spend it however you like. 1 won’t look down on you. 1 have money, and there’s money in Clearcreek Mansion too. You can spend it recklessly.”
Rong Qi thought about punching someone. She cursed inwardly, ‘Is this guy intentionally mocking me or flaunting his wealth? He sounded so sincere that it left me temporarily unable to figure out his intention. Damn it!’
Rong Qi gritted her teeth and couldn’t help but ask, “What made you think I’m poor?”
Ye Nanshen glanced at Rong Qi and replied, “Your family is a fallen noble house, and you’re not favored. Besides, your stepmother and stepsister are scroungers. If you had money, wouldn’t you have replaced your Rabbity by now?”
Rong Qi couldn’t find a retort as Ye Nanshen’s reasoning seemed sound.
In essence, Rong Qi understood that Ye Nanshen’s words could be succinctly summarized as, “You exude the aura of poverty from head to toe.”
Rong Qi was speechless and said seriously, “Rabbity is very important to me. It has been with me for over a decade, and 1 keep it out of sentiment.”
Ye Nanshen nodded. He wasn’t sure what he understood. After all, it was hard to change a person’s first impression.
Rong Qi took a deep breath and gazed out of the window at the scenery. However, she noticed that Ye Nanshen was gripping her hand tightly.
Meanwhile, compared to the wealthy benefactor who received gifts as soon as class ended, Rong Feiyu stood hesitantly outside her home, unable to muster the courage to enter.
So many things had happened at home recently, and Rong Tianshi had been hoping that Rong Feiyu could help ease the family’s financial burden.
As long as Rong Feiyu joined the Academic and Research Society, this news would inevitably spread, and other prominent families would see her potential, offering investments to the Rong family to resolve their crisis.
Everything had been planned perfectly. However, Rong Feiyu had failed to get into the Academic and Research Society.
Rong Feiyu stood anxiously outside her home, trying to formulate her words. But before she could come up with a reasonable explanation, the door of her house swung open with a loud click.
“Father…” Rong Feiyu said as she kept her head down, unable to look at Rong Tianshi.
Rong Tianshi furrowed his brows and said, “You’re back. Why don’t you come inside? Why are you standing out here? If your mother hadn’t seen you, 1 would have thought you were still at the university.”
Rong Tianshi walked inside as he spoke, his face showing signs of annoyance and weariness.
Rong Feiyu watched her mother and father, who were sitting in the living room with unfriendly expressions, her heart pounding. She thought that they must have found out that she hadn’t been accepted into the Academic and Research Society..
