Super Rich: Enjoying the Happiness of the Wealthy After Divorce
Chapter 24 Wow! My best friend's boyfriend's family is so rich!
After Qin Yue hung up the phone, the air in the entire study became quiet.
Looking at the young boss across from her who had a smile on his face the whole time, her last bit of doubt vanished.
A man who can make a Harvard-graduated investment banking elite willingly become his subordinate, a man who can make a former Jiaolong Commando instructor stand at attention and salute—his world is far broader than he imagined.
"Mr. Zhou, I apologize for the phone call just now." Qin Yue composed herself and bowed slightly.
Zhou Cheng waved his hand dismissively, "It's nothing. It's quite amusing to hear dogs barking occasionally. Continue your report."
"Yes."
Qin Yue nodded and focused all her attention on her work.
Meanwhile, in the luxurious restaurant of Moon Bay Manor, Su Qingyao was somewhat awkwardly entertaining her three roommates.
Li Meng, Wang Jing, and Lin Wanwan, who is always very quiet.
Zhou Cheng's extravagant spending last night, seemingly out of love for Su Qingyao, instantly made their relationship with her incredibly close.
Early this morning, Su Qingyao received a call from Li Meng. The three of them wanted to come and visit the new home that "Brother Cheng" had given her.
Su Qingyao thought that it was indeed lonely for her to live alone in such a big house, so she asked the housekeeper to send a car to pick them up.
When the Rolls-Royce Phantom with the special license plate stopped in front of the music academy's girls' dormitory, the entire dormitory building was in an uproar.
Li Meng and Wang Jing were alright, after all, they had witnessed Zhou Cheng's generosity.
The girl named Lin Wanwan kept her head down from the moment she got on the bus, clutching her faded jeans tightly in both hands, not daring to say a word.
The car drove smoothly through the gates of Moon Bay.
When the palatial lakeside estate came into view, the three girls in the car held their breath.
"I...my goodness...Yaoyao, this...this is your home?" Li Meng stammered, her eyes almost popping out of their sockets.
Wang Jing even took out her phone and started snapping photos of the scenery outside the window.
Only Lin Wanwan's face turned even paler, and she lowered her head even further.
The housekeeper and Filipino maids lined up to welcome them, giving them a treatment they'd only ever seen in movies.
"Yaoyao, you're living the life of a princess now!" Li Meng hugged Su Qingyao's arm, her eyes sparkling.
Su Qingyao felt a little embarrassed by the praise, but her face was filled with a happy smile. "Don't stand there, please sit down. What would you like to drink? The juices here are all freshly squeezed from the freshest fruit."
"I want to drink it! I want to drink the one that looks the most expensive!" Li Meng shouted nonchalantly.
Wang Jing pulled Su Qingyao aside and asked in a low voice, "Yaoyao, where's Cheng-ge? Isn't he home?"
"He...he's handling things in his study."
"Wow, he's handsome, rich, and so hardworking—he's practically the perfect man!"
The girls chatted excitedly and quickly became familiar with their surroundings.
Li Meng and Wang Jing became even bolder, taking out their phones and taking selfies in every corner of the living room.
"No way, I have to post this on my WeChat Moments! The title will be: 'Just how luxurious is my best friend's house!'" Li Meng said excitedly while editing the picture.
Seeing how happy they were, Su Qingyao felt happy too.
But her gaze fell on Lin Wanwan, who had been huddled in the corner of the sofa since she entered the room.
It was a secret known to everyone in their dormitory that Lin Wanwan's family was poor.
She usually wears the simplest clothes, uses the cheapest skincare products, and is very introverted, rarely participating in group activities.
At this moment, sitting on this sofa worth hundreds of thousands, she seemed so out of place.
"Wanwan, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" Su Qingyao walked over and asked with concern.
Lin Wanwan looked up, forcing a smile. "No...no, Yaoyao, it's...so nice here."
Her voice was soft and tinged with self-consciousness.
Just then, Zhou Cheng's study door opened.
He changed into casual home clothes, looking relaxed and easygoing.
"What are you chatting about? It's so lively." He walked over with a smile.
"Brother Cheng!"
When Li Meng and Wang Jing saw Zhou Cheng, they immediately surrounded him with shining eyes, like two little fangirls.
"Hello, Brother Cheng!"
"Brother Cheng, are you done with your work?"
Zhou Cheng nodded, walked naturally to Su Qingyao's side, put his arm around her waist, and kissed her on the cheek.
This intimate gesture made Su Qingyao blush instantly, and also made the other three girls feel like they were being fed dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection).
"Let me introduce you. These are my roommates: Li Meng, Wang Jing, and Lin Wanwan," Su Qingyao said softly.
Zhou Cheng's gaze swept over them.
When his gaze fell on Lin Wanwan, the system panel in his mind suddenly popped up automatically.
[High-potential target detected!]
Name: Lin Wanwan
Age: 21
Appearance: 75 (Potential: 96)
[Body: 70 (Potential value 97)]
[Special Attributes: Resilient Heart (Grows stronger in adversity, possessing extraordinary perseverance and resilience), Unpolished Gem (Unrefined, possessing extremely high potential)]
Current favorability rating: 20 (Awe)
[Overall Assessment: A top-tier gem hidden in the dust, with a little polishing, can shine with a brilliance no less than Su Qingyao's. Extremely valuable investment!]
Zhou Cheng looked at the panel and was a little surprised.
This girl, who looks ordinary and even a bit rustic, has such a high potential rating from the system?
Their potential in terms of looks and physique has reached an astonishing 96 and 97 respectively!
This shows that with just a little modification, she could be completely transformed into a top-tier beauty.
What's even more interesting are the special attributes of "Resilient Heart" and "Physical Refinement".
This girl is a treasure.
Zhou Cheng had a playful smile on his lips.
He reached out his hand to Lin Wanwan.
"Hello, Lin, it's nice to meet you."
His voice was gentle, with an irresistible charm.
Lin Wanwan was stunned.
She never expected that someone like Zhou Cheng would take the initiative to greet her, a nobody.
She stood up in a panic, wiped the sweat from her palms on her pants, and then carefully reached out and gently touched Zhou Cheng's fingertips together.
"Hello, Brother Cheng..."
Her face was red to the roots of her ears.
Just then, the butler approached and respectfully said to Zhou Cheng, "Master, the lunch you ordered is ready. Shall we begin?"
"Let's open it." Zhou Cheng waved his hand, then said to the girls, "Come on, try the cooking of the chef I specially invited for you."
When the girls followed Zhou Cheng to the restaurant and saw the long table laden with all sorts of top-quality ingredients they had only ever seen on television, they were once again awestruck.
The king crabs air-freighted from Australia are each as big as a washbasin.
The belly of a Japanese bluefin tuna, cut into thick slices, gleamed with an enticing oily sheen.
There are also French Gillardeau oysters, Russian black caviar, and Italian white truffles...
A French chef, dressed in a white chef's uniform and looking quite imposing, was respectfully waiting with his team.
"I...oh my god..." Li Meng couldn't find any other words to describe it. "Yao Yao, does your family...usually eat this?"
Su Qingyao was also stunned; it was the first time she had ever seen such a scene.
Zhou Cheng smiled, pulled out the chair for Su Qingyao to sit down, and then said to the others, "Please sit down, don't be shy, make yourselves at home."
Do you consider this your own home?
Li Meng and the others smiled bitterly to themselves, realizing that their own homes were not even a tenth as good as those here.
This meal was both terrifying and eye-opening for everyone.
Each dish is as exquisite as a work of art, and the taste is unlike anything I've ever heard before.
Li Meng secretly looked up the French chef's name on her phone, and the search results almost made her throw her fork away.
"Michelin three-star chef, Louis Henri! The go-to chef for European royalty! His appearance fee is over a million!"
This news shocked the girls.
They looked at the man cutting their steaks and felt like they were dreaming.
A single meal can cost millions just for the chef's appearance fee.
This is beyond their understanding of the word "rich".
