I became financially independent right after entering college.

Chapter 117 Sorry to trouble you
While chatting, Wang Danai tagged Zhou Haoyu in the class group: "Zhou Haoyu, have you seen Xiaoxue's boyfriend, the one who drives a Lamborghini and a GT3RS?"

Zhou Haoyu: ???

Zhou Haoyu behind the screen was struck by lightning.

When did Xiaoxue start dating? How come I didn’t know? And she even drives a Lamborghini?

I do know someone who drives a GT3RS, but he has a girlfriend, so this doesn't make sense.

"Giggle cluck..."

Li Xue, who was sitting in the passenger seat, suddenly giggled and waved her phone in front of Bai Chou: "Look, look, I just posted on WeChat Moments not long ago, and someone tagged Zhou Haoyu in the class group and asked him if he knew my boyfriend."

"Don't overdo it," Bai Chou said calmly. With a plan in place, he wasn't worried about being exposed by Zhou Haoyu.

"OK."

Li Xue nodded obediently and looked at the screen of her mobile phone again.

Zhou Haoyu paused for a long time before cautiously replying in the group: "I don't know, did someone say something and you misunderstood it?"

Wang Da Nai: "How is that possible? Xiaoxue has already made the official announcement on WeChat Moments. If you don't believe me, go and see for yourself."

Already posted on Moments?
Zhou Haoyu hurriedly exited the group chat and opened Li Xue's circle of friends. After a few glances, he found that it was indeed true. At the top was Li Xue's latest official announcement.

Clicking on the picture, the bullfighting car logo on the steering wheel is particularly eye-catching, and judging by the hand holding the steering wheel, it is indeed a young person. Looking at a few other photos, for example, the driver's hand is placed on Li Xue's thigh, and Li Xue takes off her shoes and puts her bare feet on the driving seat...

It can be seen that Li Xue and the car owner have a very close relationship.

What to do, it’s probably true.

Zhou Haoyu was panicked for a moment, his heart was in turmoil and his mind was blank. He didn't know what to do.

Compared to others, does he have any special advantages in pursuing girls? Yes, mainly two points: one is that he looks good, and the other is that he is relatively rich.

Without these, he was just an ordinary college student, no worse than others, but no better than others.

If Xiaoxue could catch his eye, he had to be pretty good-looking. His car was a Lamborghini, worth at least four or five million, which made him look incredibly attractive.

As for personal ability and career ambition... those are all empty talk.

Does Michelle Reis's husband, Xu Jinheng, have any special abilities? He just comes from a relatively good family and has become a director in China Construction Group. He still has to withdraw a paltry two million yuan from the family trust fund every month to make ends meet.

But he is Michelle Reis’ husband.

These days, if you have money, you can get almost anything. Driving a Lamborghini at a young age is, if not exactly young and promising, then it's certainly "young and promising."

Zhou Haoyu discovered that compared to Xiaoxue's unknown boyfriend, he had almost no advantages and was inferior in every way, just like when he faced Bai Chou.

In the class group, when Wang Dana saw Zhou Haoyu say that he didn’t know Li Xue’s boyfriend, she immediately started to wonder if Li Xue was lying or bragging.
It may not be a complete exaggeration, it may be half true and half false. Wang Danai has done this kind of thing many times.

Maybe the Lamborghini and GT3RS weren't Li Xue's boyfriend's at all. Maybe Li Xue's boyfriend wasn't her classmate, but a young man in his thirties who had reached the peak of his youth and was halfway to middle age...

Wang Da Nai tagged Zhou Haoyu: "That's impossible. Xiaoxue said her boyfriend is from your school and drives a Lamborghini and a GT3RS. People like that are usually big names in school, right? How could you not know him? At least you've heard of him."

Zhou Haoyu: "There's really no one in our school who drives a Lamborghini. But there is one who drives a GT3RS, and that's my roommate."

Lao Bai?

How is that possible? Lao Bai has a girlfriend, Xiaoxue’s roommate Kim Hyo Joo, and they are very much in love. Xiaoxue’s boyfriend can’t be Bai Chou.

Seeing Zhou Haoyu talking about Bai Chou, Li Xue immediately panicked, fearing that Zhou Haoyu would say that Bai Chou's girlfriend was Jin Xiaozhou. She immediately tagged Zhou Haoyu in the group: "It's Bai Chou, we are together."

Lao Bai, how is this possible!

Zhou Haoyu was struck by lightning, and then he received a private message from Li Xue: "Don't mess with me, this is all my plan."

Plan, what plan?
Zhou Haoyu was extremely confused and had no idea what Li Xue was trying to do. His heart felt empty as if a piece was missing, but at the same time he inexplicably felt a sense of relief.

"Who is Bai Chou?" someone asked in the group.

"Bai Chou is my boyfriend, and also Zhou Haoyu's roommate. Zhou Haoyu invited us to a dorm party at the beginning of the school year, and I got to know him in the dormitory..."

Li Xue chattered in the group, telling the love story between her and Bai Chou, and adding drama to herself like crazy.

For example, Bai Chou fell in love with her at first sight at a dormitory party. He kept talking to her during dinner and even took her to KTV to sing after dinner. She also recorded a video for Bai Chou, and now that video is very popular on the Internet.

For example, in order to exempt her from military training, Bai Chou took the initiative to sign her up for the school's welcome party. They held hands and sang a very romantic Korean song together at the party. It was on the stage that they officially confirmed their relationship.

After the party, Bai Chou took her to the Ritz-Carlton on the second phase of Deji Plaza. They drove a presidential suite that cost tens of thousands of dollars a night. The limousine that picked them up was a Rolls-Royce Phantom.

For example, a few days ago, she complained that her boyfriend's GT3RS was too hard and uncomfortable to sit in, and not cool enough, so Bai Chou decided to buy a Ferrari. But before she even went to the Ferrari dealership, his friend gave him a brand new Lamborghini Mazda4. He had money but couldn't spend it...

She appropriated the plot in various ways, applied Kim Hyo-joo's experience to herself, and boasted half-truthfully, as if she was the one with Korean ancestry.

Zhou Haoyu held his phone in his hands and stared in amazement. Wasn't this what happened to Kim Hyo Joo? How did it become Xiaoxue and Bai Chou's love story?

Li Xue’s classmates in the group also echoed her sentiments.

“How romantic.”

"Oh my god, if someone is willing to take me to the presidential suite at the Ritz-Carlton, I would be his girlfriend."

"Your boyfriend is too doting on you. He bought you a new supercar just because you don't like the GT3RS..."

Wang Dana was still skeptical. She didn't think Li Xue was making up stories completely, but there was definitely something wrong.

Undeterred, Wang Danai tagged Zhou Haoyu again in the group chat: "Zhou Haoyu, is what Xiaoxue said true? Is your roommate Bai Chou really that good?"

"Ah."

Zhou Haoyu reluctantly replied with a "hmm". What else could he say? Man, what can I say?

The group was still bustling with activity, and the high school classmates were still talking about Li Xue's boyfriend. Li Xue, who had been praising him a lot, became quiet.

Seeing that Li Xue finally stopped bragging in the group, Zhou Haoyu, who was impatient, immediately sent a private message to Li Xue: "Xiaoxue, what are you doing? Didn't Lao Bai and Jin Xiaozhou do those things together?

Also, when did you become Lao Bai's girlfriend? "Didn't I tell you this was all planned?"

Li Xue, who was well prepared, thought typing was too slow, so she simply turned on the voice to tell Zhou Haoyu about her plan: You know, I have always wanted a convertible sports car, but my dad refused to buy it for me.

I was thinking of pretending to be a couple with Bai Chou, letting my dad know that his daughter was seduced by a very rich guy who drove a sports car, so that he would feel threatened and give me gold coins...

Zhou Haoyu was speechless.

He understood Li Xue's character. With Li Xue's amazing wisdom and self-centered emotional intelligence, she was definitely capable of doing such a thing.

"Are you and Lao Bai really not in a relationship?" Zhou Haoyu asked again doubtfully.

"Do you think it's possible? He has a girlfriend!"

After a pause, Li Xue replied: "If I were really in a relationship with Bai Chou, why would I need to ask my dad for gold coins? Can't I just go to Bai Chou directly?
He's so rich, not to mention the expensive stuff, he'd definitely be willing to buy me a convertible sports car worth a million or eight hundred thousand, right?"

Zhou Haoyu thought about it carefully and realized that Bai Chou had always been rather annoyed with Li Xue. At the beginning, the two of them almost had a fight at the social gathering.

Xiaoxue also had a temper like a spoiled little girl, and later troubled Bai Chou many times. Based on Zhou Haoyu's understanding of Bai Chou, Bai Chou definitely wouldn't like this kind of girl.

Convinced that Li Xue and Bai Chou were just pretending to be a couple, Zhou Haoyu sent a sour voice message asking, "If you want someone to pretend to be your boyfriend, you can always find me. Why do you always bother Lao Bai when there is nothing to do?"

That hand is touching your leg.

Admittedly, Zhou Haoyu fully believed that it was just a staged photo, but Lao Bai's hand did touch Li Xue's leg, which he had never touched before.

Li Xue's direct question silenced Zhou Haoyu: "What's my relationship with Bai Chou? What's my relationship with you?"

Zhou Haoyu remained silent, as if he probably thought that Li Xue and Bai Chou were indeed much closer to him.

Although he and Li Xue were high school classmates, they were just ordinary classmates and had nothing to do with each other. After entering university, he did bravely pursue Li Xue, but Li Xue did not respond.

On the contrary, Lao Bai, although he and Li Xue had only known each other for a month, because Li Xue always bothered him, the two of them could always play together in a muddled way.

To be honest, Li Xue and Bai Chou are indeed more like good friends.

and many more!

Zhou Haoyu suddenly seemed to understand something, and with his amazing wisdom he guessed a possibility.

Xiaoxue asked Bai Chou to pretend to be her boyfriend instead of her. Could it be because he was so obsessed with the calls of handsome guys that he became estranged from Li Xue?

Li Xue, who was used to being pursued by him and used to his care and concern, suddenly felt lost when she lost him one day. She was sulking with him, but she had the temper of a spoiled little princess and couldn't bring herself to contact him actively.

So, I took the opportunity to pretend to be a couple with his roommate, and took the opportunity to provoke him, make him jealous, repent and wake up.

This makes perfect sense.

After Zhou Haoyu thought about it, he suddenly understood a lot more. She has me in her heart.

"Xiaoxue, I understand. I understand everything you're thinking."

"What the hell did you understand? Also, call me Li Xue. Is Xiaoxue something you can call me?"

Look, she didn't even let me call her Xiaoxue. It's obvious she's still mad at me. Man, this wave has a chance. Even if she didn't attend this class reunion, it might be because she's mad at me.

After ending the communication with Li Xue, Zhou Haoyu, who was lying on the bed in his bedroom at home, suddenly jumped three feet high, waving his fists in ecstasy. How great!

Watch until the clouds open and the moon shines!
After a period of ecstasy, Zhou Haoyu calmed down a little. After thinking for a moment, he called Bai Chou.

In the Lamborghini, Li Xue, who had dealt with Zhou Haoyu, shook her phone triumphantly: "Done, there won't be any problems with Zhou Haoyu."

"Did you tell him not to reveal your plan to Hyo Joo?" Bai Chou asked while driving.

"Oh..." Li Xue's expression froze instantly. She had forgotten such an important thing.

"Oh no! What if he goes to Kim Hyo Joo to confirm the situation right after he hangs up the phone?" Li Xue looked anxious. The same words could fool Zhou Haoyu, but not necessarily Kim Hyo Joo.

"never mind……"

Bai Chou frowned and sighed slightly. He was just thinking whether it would be better to take the initiative to tell Kim Hyo Joo that Li Xue and he were "pretending to be a couple"?
If he doesn't reveal it actively and remains unexposed, he will have a lot of room to maneuver. Once Kim Hyo-joo notices something, even if he can fool her, there is no way he can guarantee that Kim Hyo-joo will not become suspicious.

If I reveal it to Kim Hyo-joo, I'll have less room for maneuver, but it will also be safer. We've already reached the bottom, so no matter how we go, we'll always be on the upside.

"What should I do? What if Zhou Haoyu goes to ask Xiaozhou? What if Xiaozhou suddenly calls me to ask..." Li Xue was so anxious that her face turned red.

"Don't make any noise, let me think about it."

Bai Chou was also in a dilemma. Being a scumbag had its price. He had to carefully consider two or more ways to deal with the problem, and after repeated deliberation, choose the one that was more beneficial to him and had less risk.

While the two were thinking, Bai Chou's cell phone suddenly rang in the car. Li Xue was shocked. Did Xiaozhou call so soon to accuse her?
After looking at the caller ID on the car's central control panel, Li Xue breathed a sigh of relief and put her mind at ease. Fortunately, it was Zhou Haoyu.

Bai Chou answered the phone.

"Hey, Lao Bai, where are you now?" Zhou Haoyu's tone was filled with uncontrollable excitement.

"I'm in the car."

"Okay, I'll make it short."

After a pause, Zhou Haoyu asked again: "Did Xiaoxue ask you to pretend to be a couple today?"

"Yeah, I ran into her today when I was leaving the track. After she got into my new car, she started taking photos and even insisted that I touch her legs."

What Bai Chou said was all true.

"Oh, I'm really sorry to bother you. You know Xiaoxue's personality. She's like that. Once she gets too excited, she only cares about her own happiness and doesn't care about other people's feelings. She likes to act like a spoiled brat and has a low emotional intelligence. Don't bother with her."

Really? Why do I feel that Li Xue is actually quite well-behaved?

Bai Chou remained silent. Li Xue, who was sitting in the passenger seat, grinned and gritted her teeth. "Fuck you! No wonder it's so hard for me to pursue Bai Chou. I knew it was because of you, this idiot, who says bad things about me every day."
