I became financially independent right after entering college.

Chapter 19 Women’s bedtime talk
It's a very good start.

Kim Hyo-joo knew clearly that girls as beautiful as her were indeed a rare resource these days, but boys as outstanding as Bai Chou were also a rare resource.

Being handsome, tall, and singing as well as professional singers can first provide very high emotional value in interactions.

To be more realistic, Bai Chou studied art, so his family conditions are not too bad. And with his looks and singing skills, he will have a good future.

At the very least, one can enter an educational institution and become a vocal teacher with a higher income among his peers.

Kim Hyo-joo is used to calculating more. Whether it is from the perspective of his ivory tower period on campus or his development prospects after graduation, Bai Chou is a very good boy.

When you meet a boy like this, you don’t have to hold on to him, but at least you can’t be passive. You must take the initiative to create opportunities, try to get in touch with him, and get to know him better.

Clicking on the local channels of Xiaohongshu and Dianping, Kim Hyo-joo searched for restaurants in Jinling City, preferably in Jiangning District, with high reviews, affordable prices, and easy to produce good pictures.

In today's era, taste and price are no longer the primary reference factors for some female diners when choosing a restaurant. The most important thing is whether or not they can take good photos.

"I rely on!"

A scream suddenly came from the quiet girls' dormitory, and it was like thunder out of the blue, scaring Kim Hyo Joo who was holding her mobile phone and making her tremble. Even Shan Meng who was half asleep was woken up.

"What's wrong?" Kim Hyo-joo looked at the startled Li Xue with dissatisfaction. She disliked this roommate more and more. She was too self-centered and too inconsiderate of others. There were no major personality problems, but a lot of small flaws.

"Bai Chou's headphones cost nearly 3 yuan, and his MP player also cost yuan.

These two little gadgets are worth nearly fifty thousand dollars in total. He must be really rich. Damn, I was wrong about him!"

Li Xue cursed. She suddenly remembered the headphones and player and wanted to place an order before going to bed. When she searched on Taobao, she was shocked by the price.

Is forty or fifty thousand yuan a lot?
For Li Xue's family, it is not much.

Seven or eight years ago, Li Xue's family was allocated several houses and several million yuan due to demolition. In recent years, housing prices have been rising, and Li Xue's family's business is also good, and their total assets have more or less reached tens of millions.

No matter what, Li Xue is considered a wealthy second-generation.

But more than half of these tens of millions are fixed assets, and the remaining liquid funds are not something that Li Xue, a college student, can dispose of at will.

Li Xue's monthly allowance was only 20,000 yuan. She could get a little more from her husband for things like cosmetics and clothes, or for birthdays, but on average, it didn't exceed 40,000 yuan a month.

Li Xue gritted her teeth and said, "Damn it, if I had known this guy was so rich, I would have let him pay for the KTV."

"It's not more than 40,000..." Shan Meng, who was woken up, said softly.

"what?"

Could it be that the headphones are a high imitation?

"It's more than 80,000 yuan."

Shan Meng recalled Bai Chou's calm demeanor when he swiped his card this afternoon, and the inner feelings behind the way he did it: "He also bought his headphone cables separately, one costing over 20,000 yuan, so he bought two.

I went to the headphone store with him this afternoon, and I saw him swipe the card with my own eyes."

Shan Meng really hoped that Bai Chou didn’t give out 80,000, even 8,000 or 800 would be fine.

She was originally ready to launch an attack, but when she saw Bai Chou's generosity and Dan Meng realized the gap in their family conditions, she temporarily backed down.

Not all girls like to date rich second-generations, at least Dan Meng doesn’t like it. She feels that this will make her relatively weak when she falls in love or even gets married.

She believes that it is better not to have too big a gap in the economic conditions of two people in a relationship, so that the status of both parties in the relationship will be more equal.

"That means the headphones he uses cost more than 60,000 yuan? I can't afford it." Li Xue muttered.

"Aren't you a rich second-generation? You can't even come up with more than 60,000 yuan?" Kim Hyo-joo asked in surprise. She really thought that Li Xue could easily come up with more than 60,000 yuan.

"You know I'm a second-generation rich kid, not a first-generation rich kid. My monthly allowance is tens of thousands of yuan, which I use for food, shopping, skincare, cosmetics, and beauty treatments..."

I don’t have enough money for all the clutter. I’d be crazy to spend over 60,000 on a set of headphones and a player.”

Listening to Li Xue's complaints that tens of thousands of yuan were not enough for pocket money, Shan Meng felt sad. Her family's total annual income was not enough to support Li Xuehua for a few months.

"Wait a minute, Mengmeng."

Li Xue suddenly realized something: "You went out with Bai Chou this afternoon."

"Ah."

"Is it because he dumped you in the afternoon that you're lying there crying?" Li Xue always felt that Bai Chou was a scumbag.

"No." Shan Meng answered perfunctorily, not wanting to explain any more.

"If he didn't dump you, then why are you crying? It can't be that you dumped him and now regret it..." Li Xue kept asking.

"Can you please stop asking? It's so annoying!

Why are you so gossipy? I already said he didn't dump me, it was me who had a crush on him and was pursuing him, okay? "

Shan Meng was annoyed by the relentless questioning, and tears suddenly started to flow uncontrollably. She burrowed into the bed and began to sob.

She really regretted it.

When he finished talking in the afternoon and returned the headphones to Bai Chou and turned to leave, Shan Meng really felt that he was amazing. He insisted on the bottom line and principles and protected his self-esteem.

However, when she returned to the dormitory, she began to reflect and regret, and the regret grew more and more.

It's not that she regrets her choice. She still firmly believes that it is very important to maintain personal independence in a relationship, and that a relationship with a huge gap in economic strength is not a normal relationship.

But I still regret it.

Li Xue, whose face was turned down by Dan Meng, felt confused. I care about you. I am afraid that you will be cheated by a scumbag, so I ask you so many questions. Not only do you not appreciate it, but you are also mean to me!

Humph.

Li Xue originally wanted to chat with Kim Hyo Joo for a while, but Shan Meng's yelling and crying made the atmosphere in the dormitory very awkward, and Li Xue lost interest in chatting.

Like Shan Meng, he turned over and lay on his side facing the wall, opened "Happy Match 3", and started playing the game by himself.

Kim Hyo-joo, who was almost a spectator throughout the whole process, actually noticed something.

Shan Meng and Bai Chou may indeed have some story, but it definitely hasn't developed to the level of boyfriend and girlfriend, at least not now.

Otherwise, no matter how introverted Dan Meng is, he would definitely lose his temper while having dinner or at KTV tonight.

As for why Li Xue was abused, Jin Xiaozhou just felt that Li Xue deserved it.

This young lady really has no emotional intelligence. She doesn't even know how to express her feelings to others. She keeps asking people about their sad past. If she doesn't get scolded by you, who will?

The two roommates stopped talking, and Kim Hyo Joo picked up her phone again, searching for a date place for tomorrow on Xiaohongshu and Dianping.
