Chapter 19: Please Don\'t Act Pretentious for Your Adoptive Father

"See, I told you I wasn\'t lying," Guo Zihang\'s last words brought silence to the whole group.

No one was speaking now, not even Qin Ziang, who usually shouted in the cafeteria that he would foot the bill for everyone.

To be honest, at this moment, they would rather doubt their own eyes than believe what Guo Zihang, Huang Ying, and Yang Shuan said was true.

Three hundred thousand, that wasn\'t a sum high school students could touch. They\'d be over the moon with just ten yuan in their pockets, let alone three hundred thousand. It felt like they would have to travel out of the Milky Way to spend that much.

But then again, it was normal for Guo Zihang to brag for Jiang Qin because he was Jiang Qin\'s sidekick, just like in school. However, there was no reason for Huang Ying and Yang Shuan to help Jiang Qin blow his own trumpet.

So, did Guo Zihang say the truth? But we\'re reluctant even to spend money on a yellow diamond, how could that scoundrel Jiang Qin dare to spend three hundred thousand? Are we even in high school?

The most shocked among them was actually Chu Siqi. She couldn\'t imagine that Jiang Qin had done so much during the summer break, and every single thing seemed unbelievable.

While everyone was chatting online at home, getting sunburned by spending too much time in the sun, and stealing vegetables in Happy Farm, Jiang Qin had been doing hundreds of thousands in business.

But he never boasted about it, as if making hundreds of thousands wasn\'t something worth showing off about.

Thinking about this, Chu Siqi suddenly felt that Jiang Qin had become distant in her heart, giving her an unreachable sense of anxiety.

He wasn\'t just avoiding appearing because he was afraid of embarrassment. He was actually doing business.

While others were wasting time, proving their maturity by drinking, he had transformed into someone who amazed the entire class.

After a moment of distraction, Chu Siqi suddenly felt somewhat furious.

Jiang Qin had kept such an important thing from her. Even Guo Zihang knew, but he had deliberately hidden it from her. This was too much. He used to share everything with her!

"Guo Zihang, be honest, where did his money come from?"

"I already said it during our get-together. Jiang Qin has always been in business; he must have earned it."

"What kind of business can earn three hundred thousand?"

"Then I wouldn\'t know, if I did, wouldn\'t I have earned three hundred thousand too?"

"But you guys said the business was selling boxed lunches, right? I saw you selling boxed lunches before!"

Guo Zihang responded with ellipsis: "Lao Ganma used to sell dumplings, did that stop her from starting a company?"

Qin Ziang couldn\'t sit still at this point: "Impossible, I don\'t even have three hundred thousand, where did he get it? Nonsense!"

Guo Zihang sent a smile: "Don\'t compare yourself to Jiang Qin; relying on your dad doesn\'t count as a skill."

"What are you guys talking about?" Wang Huiru suddenly emerged from lurking mode.

Chu Siqi: "Huiru, they said Jiang Qin spent three hundred thousand to rent half a bar!"

"Ah???"

"Do you also find it unbelievable?"

After some hesitation, Wang Huiru replied: "Well, I\'ve seen even more unbelievable things from Jiang Qin a few days ago."

Chu Siqi instantly sent an astonished emoji: "What else happened?"

"..."

"Huiru, did you disconnect?"

"It\'s nothing, I was just kidding."

Wang Huiru hesitated for a long time but decided not to reveal the matter involving Jiang Qin and Feng Nanshu. Three hundred thousand was indeed shocking, but it was just a number that would make people exclaim. On the other hand, Feng Nanshu was a living legend. If that got out, this group would definitely explode, and in no time, the entire school would know.

At this moment, Jiang Qin was also watching the group chat. The main issue was that QQ messages were annoying, and despite his attempts, he couldn\'t figure out how to mute them. He wondered if the 2008 version of QQ lacked this feature.

If it were Qin Ziang, he would have jumped out eagerly to show off.

"Oh yes, that\'s what I did! I\'m so awesome!"

But Jiang Qin couldn\'t be bothered to do that. He had no desire to show off so much. Jumping out to show off and getting over a dozen free bar seats in the process? Was he that bored?

Furthermore, he felt the need to explain to Guo Zihang that he didn\'t want to show off because he found such things too childish. Did Guo Zihang always have to stick his neck out for his adoptive father?

He decided to turn off his phone.

Otherwise, I still want to see.

You know what, having someone help you show off is kind of satisfying.

Jiang Qin long-pressed the end call button, waiting for the screen to go dark, and then entered the Jeju City Library carrying a bag of snacks.

Half a month had passed since returning from the hot spring town. He hadn\'t seen the wealthy woman again and hardly chatted on QQ. Since the bar wasn\'t open yet, he decided to drop by.

As soon as he arrived on the second floor of the library, he saw the wealthy woman\'s figure.

Today, she was wearing a white ladylike dress with a small black bow tie, looking calm, quiet, and obedient. She held a thick book in her hands, but her gaze was not on the book; it was directed outside the window.

In fact, ever since she returned from the hot spring town, Feng Nanshu had been coming to the library every day. She wanted to finish reading the last part of "Magic-Eyed Girl Peggy Sue."

This part was said to be the most interesting in the entire series.

It depicted a terrifying disaster on the planet Kandata.

A monstrous creature that had been asleep underground for billions of years woke up, using its thousands of tentacles to frantically search for cracks in the earth, snatching sleeping children from their rooms.

As time passed, this creature grew larger and caused roads to crack open, and cities to collapse.

Through the investigation of Peggy Sue and her team, they shockingly discovered that this planet was originally an egg, an egg that had been incubating in the universe for billions of years. The life forms that had randomly evolved on this planet were the outsiders.

If it were before, Feng Nanshu would have been absolutely engrossed in reading it.

With just this 396-page book, she could finish it in three afternoons.

But...

But it had already been half a month, and she hadn\'t even read half of it.

Even those memories, which once seemed clear, would now appear somewhat blurry when recalled.

Feng Nanshu gazed out at the sunny window and the lush branches and leaves outside, suddenly sensing an indescribable loneliness within her heart.

At this very moment, the chair across from her was suddenly pulled out.

Startled, Feng Nanshu looked up and saw Jiang Qin silently taking a seat, gently placing his bag of snacks on the table.

"I\'ve been so busy these past few days, finally got some time to take a break. How have you been, wealthy lady?" he asked.

"Jiang Qin, I think I\'m feeling a bit lonely," Feng Nanshu replied with a cold look in her eyes, tinged with a hint of confusion.

Reading alone had always been her most basic way of life, and Jiang Qin\'s appearance was just an unexpected addition to her life. It was like a single peanut suddenly appearing in a jar of rice. After picking out the peanut, shouldn\'t it still be a jar of rice?

But she couldn\'t figure out why life had suddenly started to feel lonely.
