Chapter 5: The Power Of Money

Yan Zhao’s stare seemed to be solid. He continued staring at Su Muxue until he could no longer see her, the pressure coming from behind Su Muxue then completely disappeared.

Su Muxue took a few glances when she passed by the library.

You could tell at a glance that this magnificent building was extraordinary. One could imagine how expensive it must have been to build it.

The library of Ming Song University was indeed donated by the Su family. Otherwise, how could Su Muxue, a bottom-feeder student who was always at the bottom of the school, get into the same university as Yan Zhao, a star student?

It was just the power of money.

Su Muxue couldn’t help but sigh. The Su family was really the kind of particularly distinctive cannon fodder family in novels.

They were rich and foolish. If they weren’t earning money for the male and female protagonists, they were the stepping stones for villains.

“Muxue!”

One of her sidekicks from yesterday, Song Yu-er saw Su Muxue and hurried over. “Did you find the evidence that Yan Zhao stole your necklace?

She did not control her volume. All the people who were going to class heard this, they lowered the volume of their chatting and pricked up their ears.

As the top scholar of the college entrance examination who got admitted to Ming Song, Yan Zhao had just given a speech on behalf of the new students not too long ago. His handsome looks and cold temperament attracted waves of exclamations. He was in the limelight at this very moment, and after the news of him being fostered by the Su family spread, many girls even felt pity for him.

But would such a person steal?

Su Muxue looked at Song Yu-er, who was currently looking at her curiously, seemingly unaware of the commotion she had caused.

“Nope, I’ve thought about it. It probably wasn’t him.”

“Why? Weren’t you so sure that he stole it yesterday?”

The innocent look on Song Yu-er’s face made Su Muxue uncertain whether she was saying that intentionally or simply because she had low emotional intelligence.

However, these were words where she was forced to make a choice among two people. Su Muxue didn’t think that someone with low emotional intelligence would be able to say something like that.

“I didn’t consider it carefully yesterday. There were a lot of people at my birthday party, and a lot of them watched me open my presents. It’s already been so long, and there were also a lot of guests at my house. Haven’t you been there too? I think the thief who stole the necklace should be among them.”

“Huh?” Song Yu-er panicked a bit when she heard that. She was about to ask again when Su Muxue said angrily. “Stop talking. If you continue, I will have to wait again before I can go home and ask someone.”

Hearing that, Song Yu-er was relieved. She knew it. Since when was Su Muxue so smart and thoughtful?

So the credit actually belonged to the other members of the Su Family!

However, the girl’s coquettish behavior These words not only dispelled Song Yu-er’s doubts but also let Yan Zhao, who was not far away, hear it. Her completely different attitude from yesterday at the dinner table made him feel that there was a contrast.

Her coquettish behaviour made people feel that whatever she did was right.

In the blazing sun, their voices from the conversation were blown by the wind.

“Alright, alright, I won’t ask anymore. It’s the weekend tomorrow. Shall we go hang out?”

That was exactly what Su Muxue wanted. “Sure, you can stay at my place tonight.”

Su Muxue usually lived there, Song Yu-er and her other sidekicks had been there too.

“Okay.” Song Yu-er had other plans in her mind but she did not reveal them and agreed obediently.

Su Muxue had a three-bedroom apartment in an estate near Ming Song. Su Yuanwei and Chang Yuan bought it for her because they were afraid that she would not be used to living in the school dormitory and also because it would be too troublesome for her to go back and forth from the Su Family villa.

In the afternoon, Chang Yuan called and asked, “Are you coming back tonight? It’s the weekend tomorrow.”

Su Muxue: “I’m not coming back, I’m going out with my friends tomorrow.”

“Oh.” Chang Yuan was a little disappointed. “I was able to buy pastries from Five Blessings House today. I still wanted to say that you’ll be able to eat them tonight.”

Warmth filled Su Muxue’s heart. She counted the date and added, “Then save it until Sunday, I’ll come back on Sunday.”

“This child, where can pastries be kept until Sunday? We can only wait and buy it on that day itself.” Although she said that, Chang Yuan’s tone was filled with happiness.

“Thank you, Mommy. Little Xue loves you the most.”

These few lines made Chang Yuan laugh out loud.

Su Muxue had never said anything like that in her previous life and she had never acted coquettishly with anyone. But now, it didn’t sound out of place at all. It was as if she was always supposed to be like that.

At night, she was carrying the food she bought randomly and found her place according to the route in her memory. As she opened the door, she saw an unexpected person.

“Why are you here?”
