Rebirth: I became rich by farming

Chapter 627: Chapter 627 Terrifying Creature (1/2)

And the other half, if we really get down to the details, would still be Mei Mengzhen, because these concepts had gradually been instilled in him by Mei Mengzhen. When it really came to it, Mei Mengzhen’s influence on him was indeed immense.

If Mei Mengzhen were his age, it would be no big deal, but she was a freshman. How much worry must a girl her age carry to meticulously plan everything step by step?

But these were purely Fan Tianyu’s own thoughts, Mei Mengzhen didn’t see things the same way at all.

In the last two or three years before her death in her previous life, she had indeed made a name for herself, not to mention, she could buy any luxury brand she wanted without any pressure. People who went from rags to riches, especially girls, really loved to shop, but after the shopping spree, everything remained the same. But she had already moved past that mindset, so in this life, after becoming wealthy again, she felt much more indifferent to it all.

On one hand, she was a student. She hadn’t attended college in her previous life, so naturally, she wanted to cherish her campus life more this time around, focusing more on her studies than on dressing up. On the other hand, having slimmed down, she was truly quite attractive – her face which was already beautiful, could cause a stir on campus even without any adornment. Needless to say, Mei Mengzhen naturally kept as low a profile as she could.

As for choosing the car worth a hundred thousand yuan, it was mainly because she really didn’t understand cars and didn’t drive much. She felt there was no need to buy something too expensive for just getting around; she truly wanted to wait until after graduating to buy a better car based on her needs. So, she made the purchase without further ado.

In that aspect, Fan Tianyu was similar to her; they both had been pretending to be poor since arriving in Jiangcheng. If he bought a nice car and his family saw it and started getting ideas, it would have been pointless.

In conclusion, their initial low-key behavior was purely for pretense. But by now it seemed like their families were aware they had some money, and these people also wouldn’t talk, so naturally, there was no longer any need to pretend.

It’s just that as time passed, it seemed as if everyone had gradually forgotten their original intention.

But this original intention wasn’t really necessary for them anymore. After all, it wasn’t some grand aspiration, so it really didn’t matter if they forgot about it.

The group of people did not go to their own rooms after getting off the elevator but all crowded into Mei Mengzhen’s room. At the moment, Mei Mengzhen had just finished dinner with her brother, and the two were happily watching TV when suddenly, a large crowd squeezed into her room, slamming the door so forcefully that it gave Mei Mengzhen quite a fright.

She hugged her brother tightly and asked, anxiously, "What’s going on, what’s happening? Why are you doing this?"

Everyone looked at Mei Mengzhen with a seemingly amused expression, which genuinely made her uneasy. Mei Mengzhen did not speak, but instead, it was Mei Mengchen who asked, "What’s wrong, is there something the matter?"

"There is something," replied Lai Xixi. Then she looked towards Mei Mengzhen, "Zhenzhen, how exactly do you see through people so accurately?"

Mei Mengzhen was taken aback by those words and looked at the crowd, then noticed that Liang Xiao and Yu Duoduo were missing. This was strange, "Where are Xiaoxiao and Yu Duoduo? What happened to them, why aren’t they with you?"

The others thought that Mei Mengzhen was so astute at judging people, surely she could guess why those two weren’t with them. This was clearly a rhetorical question.

Yet Mei Mengzhen felt that something wasn’t quite right. Given Yu Duoduo’s skills, even if the girls didn’t like her, the boys should have been smitten. After all, in her previous life, Yu Duoduo had charmed Jiang Cheng with her Tea Art. Why wasn’t it working on these people now?

But she had forgotten that in her previous life, Yu Duoduo was much older when she met Jiang Cheng. How old was she now? Even if she were a master manipulator, it would still take time to reach that level. With this realization, Mei Mengzhen caught on, "So, she is so impatient, you’ve already got a taste of that?"

There was no need to delve too deeply into the details, but those who understood, understood.

More than just getting a taste of it, Fan Tianyu asked, "Did you see through her intentions from the very beginning?"

"What intentions?" This left Mei Mengzhen a bit puzzled. After all, Jiang Cheng wasn’t here, and she was not Jiang Cheng’s girlfriend, so what could Yu Duoduo’s intentions be?

Seeing the genuine confusion in Mei Mengzhen’s eyes, Fan Tianyu felt slightly relieved, but then thought, wait, why am I relieved? What’s there to be relieved about?

Fan Tianhua spoke up directly, "It seems like Yu Duoduo has taken a fancy to my brother. Even during the meal in the private room, she spoke in an odd tone, looking all disagreeable. She’s even more annoying to me than Zhang Jing."

Fan Tianyu got annoyed at the mention of Zhang Jing, "Speak your piece, why keep bringing her up?"

"Wait a minute," Mei Mengzhen latched onto the key point, "are you saying that Yu Duoduo has taken a liking to Brother Tianyu?"

"Yes, exactly. She was staring at him and calling him ’Brother Tianyu’ so affectionately, but Fan brother shut her down," Lai Xixi said excitedly.

Mei Mengzhen inquired with interest, "Tell me everything from beginning to end. What’s the situation? It was just a meal, right? I feel like I missed out on so much."

But it wasn’t just her who felt that way. Yan Keke and He Yiran also expressed their desire to know, "We didn’t catch the beginning part either, we want to hear it too."

Lai Xixi started to narrate the episode for everyone. She had a way with words, could add color to exciting events to make them even more thrilling, and could brighten up dull matters with some luster. An interesting story became even more fascinating when told by Lai Xixi.

Even Qi Yongwang, who had heard the story from start to finish, had to marvel that despite having seen the entire event, what he saw seemed completely different from what Lai Xixi described. Really, girls are too frightening a creature.

Huang Jing also shared the sentiment. While Qi Yongwang may not have had much of a presence, Huang Jing, as Mei Mengzhen’s assistant from the drama crew, was even less noticeable. He didn’t open his mouth at all during the meal but watched the whole drama. What more was there to say? He’d seen enough of such girls and found nothing novel about this situation. Whenever he encountered one, he’d get as far away as possible. After all, danger is real, and who knows when their tricks would come out and who would be the target?

Mei Mengzhen couldn’t help but lament that despite keeping her distance, she was still caught up in the center of the drama, "Why does she have to drag me into it? I’m not close with her, and who says I must have meals with the friends of my friends? If this gets out, what does that make me? And I was genuinely sick, surely she doesn’t think I was faking, no? I couldn’t have feigned it with the way I was vomiting."

The story might be fascinating, but it was also infuriating. She hadn’t bothered anyone, so what did Yu Duoduo mean by sticking to her like this?
