Reborn as a landlord in Shanghai

Chapter 127 Liu Yuting

"Did you know that a classmate of ours started talking to a girl from the music class? —"

"On Monday morning, as soon as Mao Xiaoyu arrived at class, she heard Tian Fang whispering to her."

"What's the big deal? Dating is perfectly normal. We're all teenagers, in our early twenties, not little kids! We have to be responsible for our own actions," Mao Xiaoyu said.

"No, what I mean is, our classmate is so focused, but that girl in the music class is a senior, three years older than our classmate, and—" Tian Fang said softly.

"It's like marrying a woman three years older than you is like finding a gold brick. Isn't that normal? In today's society, it's perfectly normal for rich teenagers to date women in their twenties. Don't make such a fuss, okay? It's like you've never seen anything like it before," Mao Xiaoyu said speechlessly.

"Xiaoyu, can you please listen to me properly? Why do you keep interrupting me? I'm saying that a classmate of mine found a girl from the music class. Why am I not so lucky? We're all teenagers. If he can find someone, so can I."

Tian Fang was truly helpless. Every time she was halfway through speaking, she was interrupted by the other party. Tian Fang really couldn't take it anymore, and her voice even rose several octaves.

"What? You mean that?!" Mao Xiaoyu asked, somewhat speechless.

"Otherwise, what did you think I was going to tell you? Did you think there were seven monkeys in the tree and one on the ground?" Tian Fang rolled his eyes at Mao Xiaoyu.

"I never expected that our Comrade Xiao Tian would be in love. Isn't it easy to find a girlfriend? Just chat on QQ. There are so many girls on QQ, you can chat with them however you like."

Once you've started chatting and things feel right, you can always meet up again. If things go well, you can stay together. If not, you can always break up and chat again.

"Besides, it's not like you'll only chat with one girl at a time. You can chat with several girls on QQ at the same time, casting a wide net to catch more fish. If you catch them, you can choose them slowly." Mao Xiaoyu made up a story.

"Really? I didn't know you could find a girlfriend on QQ?" Tian Fang asked, looking very interested.

"No way, you haven't seen 'First Romantic Encounter'? Even if you haven't seen it, you should have heard of it. QQ has been around for years." Mao Xiaoyu looked at him like he was an alien.

"Really, I'm not lying to you. I didn't even have QQ before, I was always in school. Later I added QQ, and I thought it was just for communication. Who knew you could actually use QQ to find a girlfriend?" Tian Fang said as if he were swearing to God.

"Okay, okay, okay, I believe you. Go ahead, go ahead, go find your favorite girl on QQ. You know, some girls are really easy to fool, so innocent," Mao Xiaoyu's voice tempted.

"Really? I'll give it a try," Tian Fang said excitedly.

Then he actually took out his phone, opened QQ, and looked for the girl's QQ number.

Seeing Tian Fang like this, Mao Xiaoyu ignored him and, as before, took out her books and started working.

A moment later, the bell rang, and it was time for class.

Knowing that the teacher would be arriving soon, everyone sat down, and then they saw Teacher Li walk in with a student.

"Wow."

The whole class burst into cheers.

As for why this is the case?

Because no one had seen this student before, and more importantly, she was really very beautiful.

Her long, flowing hair, elegant dress, perfectly oval face, and intelligent almond-shaped eyes combined perfectly, making her look like an angel descended to earth.

"Xiaoyu, I feel my heart pounding so hard, is this what it feels like to be in love?" Tian Fang, sitting behind Mao Xiaoyu, clutched his heart and said with a hint of lust.

Hearing Tian Fang's nonsense, Mao Xiaoyu twitched her lips, but at this moment she had no mind to care about Tian Fang. Instead, she looked at the girl who came in with Teacher Li.

Beautiful, really beautiful.

She looks a bit like 18-year-old Liu Sisi, a bit like 18-year-old Liu Yifei, and also like a combination of the two.

It has a pure and beautiful feel to it.

"Let me introduce you, students. This is Liu Yuting, a student from our Performing Arts Academy. She was a little late a few days ago because of something. Let's give her a warm round of applause," Teacher Li said to the students below the stage.

Upon hearing Teacher Li's words, everyone clapped enthusiastically, especially the boys.

Teacher Li looked around the audience, preparing to find a seat for Liu Yuting. Although there were still a few seats in the back, it wouldn't be appropriate to have a girl sit in the back. So, after looking around, she said...

"Mao Xiaoyu, starting with you, all of you students in this row, pull your seats back. You can also go to the back and carry a table to the front of you. The new student can sit in front of you," Teacher Li said, pointing at Mao Xiaoyu.

Although there were quite a few people in Mao Xiaoyu's row, there were only two people behind her. Therefore, only three people needed to rearrange the seats this time, and the students in front did not need to move.

Upon hearing Teacher Li's words, Mao Xiaoyu and the other two stood up and automatically moved the table back. Once it was in place, Mao Xiaoyu carried the table over from behind, while Tian Fang fawned over the stool.

"Thank you!" Liu Yuting whispered her thanks as she looked at Mao Xiaoyu and Tian Fang, who had brought her a stool and a table.

"It's nothing, it's nothing." Hearing Liu Yuting's thanks, Tian Fang was so happy he almost dropped his teeth.

Mao Xiaoyu didn't say anything, she just smiled.

"Alright, let's start class now. Turn to page 78." Teacher Li saw that Liu Yuting had a seat, and...

Get ready to start class.

Hearing what Teacher Li said, Liu Yuting sat down, took out her textbook from her schoolbag, and then began to listen to the lesson.

Mao Xiaoyu, who sat behind Liu Yuting, seemed a bit different. Usually, when she was in class, she was completely focused on the lesson and didn't care about anything else.

Now, it's impossible to concentrate in class. I can't stop smelling the pleasant fragrance emanating from Liu Yuting in front of me. It's not a strong scent, but a very pleasant one. Plus, Liu Yuting is so close to me, which sometimes makes me lose focus.

There's no way around it. Although Mao Xiaoyu had no shortage of girlfriends in his past life, those women were just a matter of quantity; their quality was far inferior to Liu Yuting in front of him.

If Yang Ying could hold back, it was because Yang Ying really wasn't very attractive right now. But when Mao Xiaoyu saw Liu Yuting, she couldn't resist her feelings.

Although both Liu Yuting and Guo Xiaoyan are very beautiful, Guo Xiaoyan, having been exposed to the ways of the world, always seems to lack a touch of naiveté. When you're with Guo Xiaoyan, you tend to talk more about work.

Liu Yuting, on the other hand, is different. She looks cute and adorable. More importantly, it's amazing that we're so destined to be in the same school, even sitting at the same desk. If I don't seize this opportunity, I'll be letting myself down.

Thinking about this, Mao Xiaoyu felt that she had something to do during her four years of schooling. She had originally thought she wouldn't get to do much during those four years.

He was surprised to find a pretty girl offering herself up, so he couldn't let her go.

The TV and movie class ended quickly. Although Liu Yuting was there, Mao Xiaoyu didn't have time to stay. She had a music class coming up, so after packing up her things, she hurriedly ran away.

As for Liu Yuting, Mao Xiaoyu wasn't in a hurry. After all, there was plenty of time, and they would gradually become familiar with each other. When they had time in the future, she would naturally chat with him.

Little did Mao Xiaoyu know that she thought there would be plenty of time in the future and that they would gradually become familiar with each other, but she did not expect to become familiar with each other so quickly.

After Mao Xiaoyu arrived at the music class, she had only been there for about 10 minutes when she saw the school teacher bring Liu Yuting to the music class. The teacher introduced Liu Yuting to the music teacher, and after the introduction, it turned out that Liu Yuting had not only applied to the TV and Film Department, but also to the Music Department.

Well, this made Mao Xiaoyu marvel at how amazing fate was; the two of them had actually learned the same thing.

After music class, Mao Xiaoyu went to dance class. This time, Mao Xiaoyu did not see Liu Yuting in class, which made Mao Xiaoyu think that Liu Yuting should not be learning dance.

To everyone's surprise, when Mao Xiaoyu finished her dance class and came out of the classroom, she saw Liu Yuting coming out of the ballet class.

Okay, although Liu Yuting didn't take Mao Xiaoyu's modern dance class, she did take ballet class. Although they weren't in the same class, the school was still the same.

This left the two people who had just come out staring at each other in surprise.

Liu Yuting is a Malaysian and belonged to the wealthy Liu family of Hong Kong. However, the Liu family of Hong Kong ceased to exist in the 90s due to the division of the family property among the three brothers.

The Liu family, a prominent family in Hong Kong, rose to prominence in the 1960s. They started in the clothing business because it was a lucrative business at the time. By the 1970s, the Liu family's assets had reached tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars. Around this time, the second generation of the Liu family grew up and each of them pursued their own path.

The eldest son developed the real estate industry, the second son developed the timber industry, and the third son continued to run the clothing business.

The three brothers were quite good at business, so each of them did well. When the real estate industry really took off in the 1980s, the eldest brother of the Liu family took advantage of that period to buy a building in Central as the family residence and set up shop in Repulse Bay. The Liu family's assets finally reached hundreds of millions, and they officially entered the ranks of the wealthy.

However, after the three brothers' parents died in the 1990s, not only did the family experience turmoil, but the three brothers also began to encounter problems. After all, the 1990s were inevitably marked by the 1997 handover.

The three Liu brothers had contrasting views. Some supported the handover, believing that Hong Kong's return to the mainland would allow them to participate in the mainland's development and that things would only get better. Others, however, felt that the handover would cause problems and wanted to emigrate overseas.

Because everyone had their own ideas, and there was no pressure from elders, the three Liu brothers eventually broke up, separated, and divided their family property.

Because everyone works in a different industry, the amount of property they receive is different.

The eldest brother, Liu Guangming, was in the real estate business, so he did business wherever he could make money. This resulted in his businesses being located in Hong Kong, Singapore, and even Malaysia.

At the time, the Hong Kong real estate industry was becoming increasingly difficult, and coupled with Liu Guangming's increased investment and work needs in Malaysia, Liu Guangming and his family eventually immigrated to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

Real estate is a capital-intensive industry, so Liu Guangming received the largest share of the family fortune, a whopping HK$5 million.

The second son, Liu Guangyue, was in the timber business and dealt with timber merchants in Southeast Asia for many years. Because he was not optimistic about the return of Hong Kong to China, he moved to Singapore before 97.

Because Liu Guangyue was in the timber business, and he was the second son, he received a total of HK$3 million in assets. However, much of his assets were in timber, which is probably related to his business.

As for the third brother, Liu Guangxing, he runs a clothing business. In order to save on manpower and costs, he had already invested in China. So when he saw that his two brothers had split up and gone to Southeast Asia, he decided to develop his business in mainland China and rarely returned to Hong Kong.

Liu Guangxing received the least amount of assets, possibly only HK$1 million.

Because of the division of the family property among the three brothers, the Liu family in Hong Kong has become a mere shell of its former self. Now, only Liu Guangming has assets in Hong Kong, which consist of a building in Central and a villa in Repulse Bay. Liu Yuting is the youngest daughter of the eldest brother, Liu Guangming. She originally grew up in Hong Kong, but unfortunately, because her father went to Kuala Lumpur, Liu Yuting also went to Malaysia with her father when she was young.

Liu Yuting could have been admitted to performing arts schools in Malaysia and Singapore, but she missed her hometown and, after discussing it with her parents, ultimately returned to Hong Kong to study at a performing arts school.

Because my family lives in Kuala Lumpur, and it wasn't easy for me to move to Hong Kong, it took a few days to get here. I only officially started school today.

Liu Yuting was quite curious about studying in Hong Kong, since she had gone to Malaysia when she was young and had never studied in Hong Kong before.

Today was Liu Yuting's first time here. When she arrived at the classroom, the first thing she saw was Mao Xiaoyu.

After all, Mao Xiaoyu was already handsome, and among the students in Hong Kong who were not very tall, he looked even taller.

Liu Yuting then started paying attention to Mao Xiaoyu. Little did she know that the two of them would be so lucky. Not only did they run into each other in music class, but they also bumped into each other after dance class.

This forced Liu Yuting to look at Mao Xiaoyu again.
