My Arrogant Young Lady

"..." After hearing Wang Che's words, I was speechless.

Although Wang Che is now dressed as a man, she still can't hide her captivating charm. Her personality is completely different from An Yao, Xi'er, and Liu Li; she's lively, enthusiastic, playful, and loves to play pranks. She's also very mature. Although only seventeen, she's already an expert on matters of love and romance. She's cunning and can accurately grasp what everyone is thinking.

In her presence, it was as if I had no secrets. My thoughts were completely exposed to her, and she watched me with unbridled zeal.

Absence makes the heart grow fonder, no, it's like a day apart feels like three autumns, no, it's like months have passed, but the feelings between us haven't faded at all. On the contrary, they've become even closer.

I blushed deeply at her teasing, while she sat to the side, observing me with great interest. Feigning a wronged expression, Wang Che carefully put on her white socks, saying, "What a pity, my feet are so beautiful, but my brother doesn't like them. What's the use of such beautiful feet? Maybe I should just give them away?"

"Who are you going to give it to?" I asked.

"Here you go." With that, Wang Che twisted her body and stretched her little feet into my arms.

As soon as she placed her little feet into my arms, I couldn't help but take a deep breath. At the same time, I panicked and quickly said to Wang Che, "Good sister, stop teasing your brother. You can't drive properly anymore, you're going to crash."

"If we crash into it, we'll just buy a new car. Do you think I'm less attractive than a car?" Wang Che looked at me aggrievedly and kicked me with her little feet.

"Stop messing around, what if we really crash..." I was having trouble breathing, and sweat was pouring down my forehead.

"So what if he bumped into something? Che'er has been reflecting on his actions at home for the past few months, and he dreams about his brother every day." As he spoke, Wang Che's little foot moved again.

"Che'er, I beg you, stop messing around, we're really going to run into each other..." I said.

"Then let's crash into it..."

Before Wang Che could finish speaking, she blinked and looked at me, her pretty face turning red. Because before she could finish speaking, our car made a crisp click.

I stared blankly at the Volkswagen Passat outside, and saw the owner get out of the car. I quickly opened the door and ran over to offer the owner a cigarette, saying, "I'm so sorry, so sorry, it's my fault. I'll pay for the repairs!"

"..." He glanced at the few scratches on my Ferrari. The driver seemed a bit helpless. Then, he pulled a cigarette from his pocket and said, "Brother, watch your car while you drive..."

"Yes, yes, it's my fault..." I kept apologizing to the car owner. Then I discussed a solution with him.

On the other side, seeing that my car had hit another car, a large group of people immediately ran over to watch. I was surrounded by that large group of people, and some even asked me how much I bought it for. In an instant, my head went blank.

After I finished dealing with the other driver, more than ten minutes had passed. Because I didn't have a driver's license, I didn't dare to file an insurance claim. So we settled privately, with me paying the other driver two thousand yuan, and then paying for my own car repairs. As for my car, the paint, which was originally quite nice, became incredibly ugly after several large scratches.

Damn it. My uncle only gave me this car a few months ago. And in such a short time, I've already scratched it.

Then I sat back in the car, annoyed, and glanced at Wang Che, saying, "Heh, look what you've done!"

"Should we buy a new one, or send it for repainting?" Wang Che didn't dare to joke with me anymore and asked me cautiously.

"How can I be as rich as your family? You're the eldest daughter of the richest family in the provincial capital!" I said to Wang Che in an annoyed tone.

“I can buy you a new one…” Wang Che pursed his lips.

"Forget it, it's just scratched paint. You'd be better off using that money to buy me some medicinal herbs to feed my king cobra," I said.

"Feed the King Cobra? Who's the King Cobra? Who's so valuable that you'd spend 20 million to feed it?" Wang Che asked me.

“The king snake is a snake I keep. You’ll find out what’s going on later,” I said to Wang Che.

Originally, Wang Che and I didn't have anything else planned for this trip. We just intended to go to the market to buy some food and then take it to the mountains to feed the snakes. While feeding the snakes, Wang Che and I would chat. After feeding the snakes, I would take Wang Che to pay back the money owed to the internet cafe owner.

Now, one thing has become two. What should have been an hour's work now involves two extra steps: taking the car to the repair shop and buying a new vehicle. And after all this trouble, my last million will probably be almost gone.

Sure enough, when I took the car to the 4S dealership and asked about the price, my heart skipped a beat. Then I went to a nearby shop to look at cars, and I realized that the repair costs plus the money I owed the internet cafe owner, plus the cost of buying another car, wouldn't be enough to feed the snakes. So, I took Wang Che to several 4S dealerships, and finally bought a minivan from a Wuling store. The little car was nice, cheap, and spacious enough to carry several friends and plenty of food for the snakes. The only downside was that driving a manual transmission took some getting used to; the engine stalled easily if I released the clutch too quickly.

When Wang Che saw that I had bought a small van, she couldn't help but frown and say, "Brother, Che'er can buy you a new car. And even if you just need a car for temporary transportation, you don't need to buy this kind of car. The Porsche dealership had some in stock just now, you could buy a 911 to make do. If you were to drive this car and some of the children of big families in the province saw you, they would probably laugh at our Wang family."

"Heh, those people's fathers probably couldn't afford cars like these when they first started making money," I said.

"Alright then, I'll like whatever car you drive. Even if you drive a tractor, I'll go with you." Wang Che smiled at me and then affectionately took my arm.

"Have you ever seen a tractor?" I asked.

“Of course I’ve seen it, I’ve even sat in it. Even though our Wang family is a well-known nouveau riche, every one of our children has done farm work,” Wang Che said.

"You did that too?" I asked.

“Of course, our Golden Triangle has two harvests a year. Every April and October, Che’er will…” As she spoke, Wang Che’s expression suddenly changed. She blinked at me, patted her mouth, and stopped talking.

Hearing Wang Che mention the Golden Triangle, the last cloud of doubt in my heart was completely dispelled. Even now, even if An Yao doesn't tell me the whole story of the Wang family, I've already gathered it all together. I smiled and said calmly to Wang Che, "Now that the car is bought, come with me to feed the snakes. Once you see my king snake, you'll know what's going on."

After I led Wang Che to the back hill of the school, I took out my jade flute and gently blew it for a few seconds. Immediately, a rustling sound filled the air around us. As a huge black snake swam in front of us, Wang Che looked at it in surprise and asked, "Is this the King Snake you were talking about?"

“That’s right, it’s a member of our Wang family now.” I took out a wild ginseng and tossed it into the king cobra’s mouth.

Unlike Runtu and Xiaohaoren, Wang Che only showed slight surprise upon seeing the King Serpent, but not fear. Looking at the King Serpent, with which he seemed so close, Wang Che marveled and said, "If Che'er isn't mistaken, this black snake must be an ancient mountain snake that has lived in Changbai Mountain for hundreds of years. It must have consumed countless rare and precious herbs to grow so enormous. It's truly rare; even searching the entire country wouldn't yield many snakes like this. Such snakes are incredibly hard to come by; if properly nurtured, they could definitely rival even god-level experts. However, even many prestigious families might not be able to afford to raise such a snake. With each level it advances, the amount of rare and precious herbs it needs increases exponentially."

"So, I'm really short of money right now, not just a little bit. I need to save money, I'd love to use my lunch money to buy some snacks," I said with a sigh.

"How much money do you need?" Wang Che asked me.

“I need 20 million in the next week,” I said.

"Here you go, Che'er," Wang Che said.

“I don’t want girls’ money. If I were willing to take girls’ money, I wouldn’t have to worry about it,” I said.

Hearing my words, Wang Che glanced at me and smiled. Then, he gently stroked the king cobra's enormous body and said, "This king cobra is a rare treasure, one that's hard to come by. Even if An Yao helps you raise it, she can only feed it for a short time. Only the young master of a super family like Xi'er can afford to raise a king cobra. However, Che'er has a way to help you earn 20 million within a week..."

Chapter 198 Wang Peng's Revenge

"Little brother, who beat you up like this?" In the hospital, a young man's face was cold. Looking at his younger brother's bruised and swollen face, the young man couldn't help but clench his fists tightly.

And he was Wang Peng, the older brother of Wang Hu, a member of the Thirteen Killers and a figure who struck fear into people's hearts!

The young man before them was ashen-faced, and his men around him were filled with fear. They knew who he was, and they knew how ruthless he could be when dealing with his enemies.

Wang Hu had already been treated as a traitor by the crab, and now he lay in bed unable to speak. At this moment, one of Wang Hu's henchmen thought for a moment and said, "Brother Peng, it's Wang Xi!"

"Wang Xi? Wang Xi from Nancheng No. 1 Middle School?" As one of the Thirteen Killers, Wang Peng had naturally heard of many big-shot gangsters. When the underling mentioned Wang Xi's name, Wang Peng immediately thought of the aristocratic young man beside Young Master Bao.

"It was him. He's the one who ruined Tiger. He's clearly a big shot, but he pretended to be a nobody and worked tirelessly by Tiger's side. Tiger was careless and didn't know how much Black Dragon hated Wang Xi. So, he used a divisive tactic, causing Tiger to be taken down by Crab and Black Dragon," the henchman whispered.

"What!?" Upon hearing the names Black Dragon and Crab, Wang Peng's expression changed slightly.

Right next to Wang Peng, a blond youth darted around and whispered in his ear, "Brother Peng, even if your brother is doing well because of your connections, he's just a nobody in Black Dragon and Crab's eyes. Black Dragon, on the other hand, is a big shot with considerable influence in society. Why would he stoop to your brother's level? I heard that Wang Xi dropped out of school for some reason. Maybe he's after your Thirteen Killers position. He transferred to our school, probably using a divisive tactic to target you. You know, the Thirteen Killers position isn't something anyone can just sit on. Even if we Thirteen Killers aren't the school's big bosses, any one of us would be qualified to sit on equal footing with the big bosses at other schools. This Wang Xi is definitely after your position. On the surface, he's targeting your brother, but actually, he wants to get back at you."

The blond-haired youth was Wang Peng's confidant, and after listening to his words, Wang Peng realized they were indeed true. He glanced at Wang Hu lying on the bed, and with a crack, Wang Peng clenched his fist tightly. "Heh, trying to take my position? So what if he's rich? Once he's on our territory, I can cripple him just the same!"

"Brother Peng, I'll send the brothers to find out right now. As soon as we know Wang Xi's whereabouts, we'll go and take care of him immediately!" the blond-haired youth said.

“Fine!” Wang Peng nodded coldly.

Meanwhile, Wang Che and I had arrived at the internet cafe street outside the school. Wang Che told me she could help me earn 20 million within a week, but she didn't say how. She just kept me in suspense for a moment and told me to just wait. On the day of the Hao family's charity auction, I could take whatever I wanted.

Wang Che is smart, and I believe she has a good way to help me make money. So I didn't ask and put this important matter aside.

Now, I have three most important tasks. First, to hold back Liuli during the final assault on Wang You, preventing her from joining forces with him. Second, to take over Beicheng No. 13 Middle School within three days; only half a day has passed so far, I still have two and a half days. Third, to purchase some rare and precious medicinal herbs at the Hao family's charity auction, then give them to Wang She to ingest, waiting for his venom to become more potent. Only then will I have a greater chance of defeating Wang You. The day Wang She's strength greatly increases will be the day I launch my final assault on Wang You.

Looking up at the clear sky, the warm sunshine made me feel lazy. But the air was still a bit chilly, and everything was tense and unsettling.

Before I deal with Wang You, there's one more small matter I need to attend to. That matter is compensating the internet cafe owner for the losses he incurred.

I've already withdrawn the money. Dodging the broken glass door of the internet cafe, I led Wang Che inside. Wang Che was still dressed like a young master, and his expression changed slightly upon seeing the mess in the internet cafe.

As for the internet cafe owner, he was currently helping a few friends clean up the place. Upon seeing me, who dared to come over, the owner immediately flew into a rage. "You little brat, look what you've done yesterday! You've only worked here one day and you've already caused me trouble! Look at the mess this internet cafe has been smashed up!!"

"Don't rush..." Wang Che let out a pleasant chuckle and stuffed a bundle of banknotes into the internet cafe owner's arms.

"You think you can get rid of me with ten thousand yuan? Do you think I'm a beggar? You poor bastard, if you can't handle it, don't cause me any trouble!" The internet cafe owner was still furious as he glanced at the banknotes in his pocket.

"And..." With a mischievous smile, Wang Che took out several bundles of banknotes and stuffed them into the internet cafe owner's arms.

"This isn't enough!" the internet cafe owner shouted.

"It's not over yet..." With a wicked grin, Wang Che took out another bundle of banknotes and stuffed them into the internet cafe owner's arms. After Wang Che had filled the internet cafe owner's arms with banknotes, the owner couldn't help but smile.

"It's 300,000 in total. 250,000 will be compensation for your losses, and the remaining 50,000 is for the losses you incurred during the days you were closed for renovations," Wang Che said to the boss.

"So much... Could it be counterfeit money?" The internet cafe owner's face was full of joy as he looked at the pile of banknotes.

"You can go to the bank to verify the money; we'll be waiting for you here," Wang Che said with a smile.

"Okay, then you guys go to the bank and help me verify the money. I'll watch over them here," the internet cafe owner said, handing the money to his friend.

By now, the internet cafe owner believed the money was real. But driven by the greed of a businessman, he wanted the exact 300,000 yuan. It was too much money, and he was embarrassed to count it out in front of us. He wanted his friends to take the money to the bank to verify the count; if it was exactly 300,000, he'd let us go. If a few bills were missing, they could deal with it later.

I glanced at my watch, not in a hurry; there were still twenty minutes until lunchtime. The banks were less crowded then, and the internet cafe owner's friend should be back in twenty minutes after going there. Although I wasn't the one who vandalized the internet cafe, I was the one who lured Liuli there, which led to the damage. The internet cafe owner told me to wait a while, so I figured I'd wait.

As the internet cafe owner smoked to one side, Wang Che whispered to me, "Brother, this internet cafe owner is shameless. He actually went to the bank to verify the money. Even if it's counterfeit, we can't just give him 300,000 yuan in counterfeit bills all at once, right? It's only because you're being kind and compensating him that we've done so. Anyone else would have run away and ignored him. His lousy internet cafe would have been fine with 200,000 yuan at most, and we gave him an extra 100,000 yuan and he's still not satisfied. He's probably afraid we'll give him too little money, so he pretends to verify the money but actually has his friend go to the bank to count it to see if it's enough."

Wang Che's family is the richest in the provincial capital, so she naturally has some business background. She and Xiao Haoren are the same kind of people; they can tell at a glance whether something is valuable or how much it's worth. Seeing Wang Che looking down on the internet cafe owner, I smiled and whispered to Wang Che, "It's all my fault for causing this trouble, let's just let it go."

"Heh, you weren't the one who smashed up the internet cafe, so how could you be the one causing trouble? The wronged should have their culprit. Even if you want to find him, you should go to Liuli, right? In my opinion, he knows both Wang You and Liuli's names, but he doesn't dare go to Liuli. He's just using you as a sucker to pay him off." Wang Che curled his lip in disdain.

"That's true..." Hearing Wang Che's words, I suddenly realized. It was Liu Li who smashed the internet cafe. If she wanted to find someone, she should go find Liu Li, not me.

But after thinking about it, I said to Wang Che, "Forget it, Liuli is our own sister. She smashed up the internet cafe, so I, as her brother, will pay for it. It's no big deal for a brother to pay for his sister's debts."

"A brother should pay for his sister's debts? Shouldn't the internet cafe owner go to Wang You for compensation? Besides, Wang You has already taken over the entire provincial capital; he should be richer than you, right?" Wang Che said.

"That's true." I nodded gently.

At first, I thought it was normal to compensate the internet cafe owner. But after Wang Che's analysis, I immediately felt uneasy. I felt cheated by the owner and didn't want to stay there any longer. I looked at the owner, who was smoking, and went over to him, saying, "Brother, we've already compensated you. That money couldn't be counterfeit. If there's nothing else, we'll be leaving."

"Wait a minute, what's the rush?" The internet cafe owner frowned and glanced at me, speaking rather loudly.

"Huh?" I was surprised.

"Just wait, what's the rush? Wait for my friend to come back. I'll let you leave then," the internet cafe owner said to me impatiently.

After hearing what the internet cafe owner said, I felt a lump in my throat. Looking at his impatient expression, I thought to myself, "This internet cafe owner is a bit of a show-off."

Damn it, the internet cafe being vandalized has nothing to do with me. Liuli should be asking her for money. Even if Liuli doesn't have money, he can ask Wang You. But instead, I kindly compensated him, and he acts like he's some big brother, thinking I'm easy to bully.

It really proves the saying, "A kind person is bullied, and a good horse is ridden." No matter how nicely I talk to this kind of person, they just treat me like an idiot.

Looking at the internet cafe owner's pretentious face, I immediately felt a surge of disgust. Ignoring him, I turned around, grabbed Wang Che's hand, and walked outside.

"Damn it, did you not hear me when I told you to wait a minute?" The internet cafe owner caught up with me and grabbed my clothes.

"Huh?" Wang Che couldn't help but laugh when he saw that the internet cafe owner was actually bullying them.

Ignoring Wang Che, the internet cafe owner grabbed my clothes tightly and scolded me in an adult-like tone, "What do you mean? Can't you understand what I'm saying? I didn't tell anyone to leave, don't you understand?"

"You can't even leave after losing money?" I asked.

"You can leave, but wait until my friend comes back!" The internet cafe owner looked at me coldly, as if afraid we would give him thirty bundles of banknotes less than one.

"Hehe, what if I wanted to leave now?" I laughed.

Hearing my words, the internet cafe owner laughed. Then, he looked at me with a mocking gaze and said, "Brother, you probably don't know where you are, do you?"
