The phone screen lit up. He had initially intended to throw the rabbit away, but upon seeing the message, he smiled and attached the little rabbit to his backpack.
The pink backpack, adorned with a white and blue little rabbit, was harmonious and cute.
"Do you like it?" Yun Bujun asked.
"I do! How could I not like something so adorable," Mian Mian replied with a radiant smile.
"School beauty, did the campus hunk give it to you? That's why you're so happy?" a classmate asked.
"I don't know who gave it to me. I just like this rabbit," Mian Mian said, not wanting to be involved in any rumors with Yun Bujun.
To the outside world, they were just ordinary friends, and they maintained their distance at school. Moreover, given their status, even if someone wanted to gossip, they wouldn't dare to speak about it openly.
"This is a thank you gift," Yun Bujun messaged again.
"Dream on. I still want ten portions of oden," Mian Mian retorted with a cold snort.
Yun Bujun immediately agreed, "I'll treat you to oden for a whole year if you want."
"Now that's more like it."
"By the way, you must have spent a lot to resolve this matter. I'll pay you back," Yun Bujun mused over it all night. He decided to give her all the money he had on hand and find a way to repay the rest slowly.
"No, I didn't spend any money. If anything, it was for the lawyer's fees, but that lawyer was already part of the Gu Group," she replied.
"What about the eight million?"
"Oh, Gu Uncle's assistant said it was recovered from those people's accounts. There was no loss," Mian Mian explained.
Yun Bujun's heart was once again shaken. He realized then how advantageous it was to have money and power. Resolving an issue didn't cost money, and they could even recover what was lost.
Yun Bujun had never before wished to be a person of power and influence as he did now.
But he also understood that he was just a poor boy. It was impossible for him to achieve the scale of the Gu Group. As the saying goes, why would ten years of arduous study allow you to compete with the efforts of three generations?
It was truly a pipe dream.
Yun Bujun felt a sense of defeat again, but he couldn't give up. Even if it meant becoming someone exceptional to marry Jiang Mian Mian, he had to strive to reach a height that would allow him to stand shoulder to shoulder with her!
Mian Mian had no idea that Yun Bujun had already begun planning their future. She was only thinking about when he would take her out for oden.
...
Zhou Hao noticed that Fangfang had been unhappy lately and often seemed absent-minded. He thought it might be due to her pregnancy and decided to give her something to cheer her up.
They hadn't been together long, and Zhou Hao hadn't given her any decent gifts yet. Now that she was pregnant, he wanted to give her a ring.
So, Zhou Hao went to a jewelry store and picked out a gold ring for over three thousand yuan. He happily went home with the ring, intending to surprise his beloved woman.
When Fangfang saw the ring, a deep disdain flashed in her eyes, but her face was filled with feigned surprise. After all, she was an actress, and she still relied on this foolish man for money.
The previous incident involved someone paying her to entrap Zhou Hao. She thought the deal was off after the first attempt, but unexpectedly, that person contacted her again with a new scheme. If she cooperated, she would receive another fifty thousand.
This time, she wanted cash. She no longer trusted banks. However, fifty thousand was a bit too little, not even as valuable as this house from the Zhou family. She planned to trick her way into getting this house, and then she could live a life of leisure.
