Middle-aged tycoon: Twins come knocking on his door when he goes home for Chinese New Year

Liu Dazhuang stood at the school gate, his already round face now scrunched up in shock.

He watched as Li Menghan strode confidently toward him, his eyes fixed on her brand-new designer sportswear and her eye-catching red Ferrari.

"Holy crap?!"

Liu Dazhuang couldn't hold back any longer and swore again. He even rubbed his eyes, as if he was hallucinating from being drowsy in the car.

He rushed over and circled Li Menghan twice, even pinching the flesh on her arm.

"Wait, buddy, are you really Li Menghan?"

Li Menghan was amused by his appearance, reached out and hung her sunglasses on her collar, and said with a smile:

"Nonsense, if I'm not Li Menghan, then who is? Could it be you?"

Liu Dazhuang pointed to his outfit, then to the sports car behind him, his words becoming increasingly stammering:

"But...but this outfit of yours, I think the logo is Balenciaga, right? And this car, it's a Ferrari! We've been sharing a dorm room for almost two years, do you think I don't know what your family's situation is? You even hesitate for ages before buying a boxed lunch with meat, where did you get the money to buy all this?"

As roommates, Liu Dazhuang and Li Menghan had the closest relationship.

They usually walked to class together, ate together, and even when Li Menghan went to deliver takeout, Liu Dazhuang often helped him cover for him in the dormitory.

Therefore, Liu Dazhuang knew everything about Li Menghan's family situation.

Faced with her good friend's questioning, Li Menghan didn't intend to hide it, after all, it wasn't anything shameful.

He sighed and spoke frankly:

"Hey, don't even mention it. This money, I borrowed it from my dad."

"Your dad?"

Liu Dazhuang was even more shocked, his eyes wide open:

"Didn't you say your dad had been missing for over ten years? He's back? And he's already lending you money to buy a Ferrari? That must be several million, right?"

Li Menghan nodded, her expression somewhat complicated:

"Yes, he's back. Although I really didn't want to ask him for a million, I had no choice. You know, for Xixi's sake, I had to prove myself."

Upon hearing that it was about Dai Yuqian, Liu Dazhuang frowned and asked, somewhat puzzled:

"You mean you bought this car to win Dai Yuqian back? You two broke up? Was it because she thought you weren't rich enough?"

Li Menghan gave a wry smile and briefly explained the conflict between herself and Dai Yuqian, as well as the matter of the student council president.

After listening, Liu Dazhuang stroked his chin and said with a doubtful look:

"Something's not right. If Dai Yuqian is really a gold digger, why would she be with you in the first place? Back then, you were dirt poor, with nothing but your good looks."

Li Menghan shrugged and made a joke:

"Maybe she was simply captivated by my good looks?"

Liu Dazhuang looked him up and down, finally fixing his gaze on the red Ferrari, and nodded seriously:

"If you had said this before, I would have spat at you. But now... I think you're pretty handsome. After all, with this Ferrari in the car, even a pig sitting inside would look like a good-looking pig."

"Get lost!"

Li Menghan laughed and cursed as she punched him.

The two laughed heartily and walked arm in arm into the school.

However, just a few steps into the school gate, a clear and pleasant female voice suddenly came from beside them:

Hello, classmate.

Li Menghan and Liu Dazhuang stopped at the same time and turned to look.

A very sweet-looking girl was standing by the roadside watching them.

This girl looks very elegant, and the clothes she's wearing don't look cheap.

Especially the white stockings with embossed rose patterns on her legs, which looked exceptionally exquisite and elegant.

She was carrying a limited-edition handbag, and her whole demeanor exuded the air of a well-bred lady.

Li Menghan paused for a moment, then responded politely:

"Hello, is there anything I can help you with?"

The girl brushed a strand of hair behind her ear, pointed gracefully to the Ferrari that hadn't yet driven away by the door, and said with a smile:

"I just saw you drive up in that Ferrari. Pretty good driving, and you looked really cool. We're alumni, so I was wondering if we could add each other on WeChat and become friends?"

If this were before Li Menghan was in a relationship, and such a beautiful girl took the initiative to chat her up, she probably would have jumped up with excitement.

But Li Menghan's heart is now filled with Dai Yuqian, and he always remembers to give Yuqian a sense of security.

So, he scratched his head somewhat awkwardly and said:

"Um...making friends is fine, but..."

The girl tilted her head, her big eyes blinking:

"But what?"

Li Menghan honestly replied:

"I have a girlfriend. I'm afraid she'll misunderstand, so..."

Upon hearing this, the girl chuckled and covered her mouth, saying:

"Oh dear, what are you thinking?"

"Although you drive a Ferrari and seem quite wealthy, my family isn't poor either. I'm not greeting you to try and hook up with you or steal your partner. I just find you pleasing to the eye and want to get to know you."

"The way you're talking makes it sound like I'm some kind of frivolous girl."

Feeling embarrassed after being told that, Li Menghan blushed slightly and quickly apologized.

"Sorry, sorry, I was overthinking it. Let's add each other on WeChat then, having more friends means having more options."

The girl didn't mind and readily took out her phone to show the QR code.

"It's okay, my name is Huo Qian."

The two added each other on WeChat.

Li Menghan put away her phone and said:

"Um, we need to go back to the dorm to put our luggage away."

Huo Qian nodded and waved with a smile:

"Okay, you guys go ahead with your work, let's chat on WeChat. Maybe we can hang out sometime sometime."

After saying that, she turned and left gracefully, leaving behind only a beautiful silhouette.

After Huo Qian had walked away, Liu Dazhuang, who had been holding back his words, finally couldn't help but sigh with envy:

"My goodness, it's so good to be rich!"

"This Ferrari is a real heartbreaker! We've only been in the school gates for a few minutes, and a stunning beauty like this has already come up to add us on WeChat. We never even dared to dream of this kind of treatment before."

Li Menghan glanced at her phone and casually said:

"If you want her, I'll give you her WeChat later. Anyway, I already have Xixi, and I don't want to chat with other girls too much, lest Xixi overthink things."

Liu Dazhuang quickly waved his hand, saying with great self-awareness:

"No, no, please spare me!"

"They came for your Ferrari, not for my muscular physique. How could they possibly be interested in an ordinary guy like me who's not even good-looking? If I were to try and chat with them, I'd just be humiliating myself."

The two talked as they carried their luggage back to their dormitory.

As soon as Li Menghan put her things down, her phone vibrated.

He picked it up and saw that it was a message from the girl named Huo Qian.

[Huo Qian: Li, are you all packed? Want to grab lunch together at the cafeteria? I'm all alone anyway.]
