Chapter 10: A Little Too Much

At that time, Rong Yin was sitting in his car, leaving the school.

The phone rang, Rong Yin lowered his eyes, glanced at it, and then answered.

"Have you found out? Are you sure she's Lin Haotian's daughter?"

"Yes, Young Master Rong. Back then, a master calculated that this Miss Lin was a jinx, and the Lin family was worried about her affecting their family's fortune, so they've been keeping her outside."

"A jinx?"

“Yes, the current eldest miss of the Lin family is the daughter of Chairman Lin's elder brother. She was born in the same month as Miss Shucheng. After a fortune teller said that Miss Lin was a lucky star, Chairman Lin adopted her…”

Upon hearing this, a knowing smirk immediately appeared on Rong Yin's lips, tinged with a hint of mockery.

“A lucky star, huh? No wonder the old man suddenly brought up old matters and insisted that I come back to fulfill some broken engagement. It turns out it was for this.”

After hanging up the phone, Rong Yin played with his phone, his gaze falling on the rapidly moving scenery outside the window.

One a lucky star, the other a jinx.

Interesting.

——

Xie Yucheng acted quickly, sending over the lease contract that very evening.

The rented studio was in a prime location outside the school, a two-story villa. The first floor could be used as a residence, and the second floor as a studio and workshop.

Shucheng was very satisfied, but Xie Yucheng didn't seem too optimistic.

Xie Yucheng: The monthly rent is over ten thousand. I only rented it for three months.

Shucheng: Okay.

Xie Yucheng: Cherish these three months, you better hone your skills!

Shucheng tilted her head, guessing that Xie Yucheng must think she wouldn't be able to come up with the money again.

Indeed, no one would believe that an ordinary female college student could have so much money.

Making the money in one's hands seem reasonable... seems like a difficult problem.

The next day was an 8 AM class, Shu Cheng got up to prepare to go to class with her roommates.

“Shu Cheng, why don't you... take another day off today?”

Tian Shuang hesitated, stopping Shu Cheng who was about to leave with them.

“Why?”

“You... you just broke up, and you're also injured, you need to rest more.”

Yu Xinyi also nodded in agreement, “Tian Shuang is right, you should rest for another two days, I'll talk to the teacher about the leave.”

Something's not right.

The way my roommates are acting, it's obvious they're hiding something.

Shu Cheng frowned and asked what was going on, but Yu Xinyi and Tian Shuang looked at each other, neither willing to speak.

Finally, Mo Yu stepped forward.

“Alright, we're about to be late, if she wants to go to class, let her go, she can't take leave forever.”

“Hurry up, if you guys aren't leaving, I'm going.”

Yu Xinyi sighed slightly, “Okay.”

The four of them are in the same department and class, all in the Finance Department of the Business School.

Did Shucheng have any particular reason for choosing this major? It was just that her scores were enough, and she wanted to make more money.

She had lived a hard life in the Cao family for more than ten years, and her biggest wish was to escape the source of her pain by her own efforts after graduating from university.

But now, Shucheng suddenly had some different thoughts in her mind.

Why should she let her enemies be happy?

The Lin family was established with her mother's help back then. Why should her so-called father let her live in exile just because of an outsider's words?

She was clearly his biological daughter, but he had never come to see her all these years.

Shucheng even felt that it wouldn't matter to Lin Haotian even if she died outside.

She didn't ask for anything else.

She only wanted to take back what belonged to her!

Her thoughts returned, and Shucheng had already arrived at the classroom.

As soon as she entered the door, everyone in the room turned their eyes to her, and naturally, most of them were malicious.

Isn't this Shucheng? She still has the face to come to class.

She is a good student, and she still wants to get a scholarship.

What scholarship? It's more convenient to steal money directly from home...

I suddenly remembered that someone in our college lost a gold bracelet or something the month before last? Could it be that she stole it too?

“It's not impossible. I was wondering why a handsome guy like Du Mingze would be interested in her. Turns out she's just a simp.”

“How disgusting, using other people's money to support a man. What was she thinking…”

……

Shu Cheng's steps grew heavier.

She finally understood why Yu Xinyi and Tian Shuang had tried to stop her from leaving when she went out.

They probably heard a lot of gossip when they came to class yesterday.

“Shu Cheng, are you okay? Don't listen to their nonsense.”

Tian Shuang took Shu Cheng's hand, “Let's go sit in the front, away from them.”

“Yeah, we'll be with you.”

Yu Xinyi also nodded, walked to the front row, and put her bag down, taking up four seats.

“Xiaoyu, aren't you going to join us?”

Mo Yu rolled her eyes, “I don't want to.”

Saying that, Mo Yu went straight to the empty seat next to the class monitor, as if to distance herself from the others.

Yu Xinyi frowned, sighed, and said, “Never mind, let's just sit together, the three of us.”

“Okay.”

Shu Cheng nodded, feeling very touched.

Tian Shuang sat down next to Shu Cheng, turning her head to see Mo Yu chatting animatedly with the class monitor and others, still feeling a bit annoyed.

“How could Xiaoyu be like this? We're in the same dorm.”

“Yeah, she even went to the dinner Shu Cheng treated us to. It's a bit too much…”
