Let’s Squander A Billion First!

Chapter 455: Chapter 455 Golden Tycoon (20)

Chuzheng placed Jin Ning on the bed, tore a clean towel, and wiped his body.

The towel wasn’t the kind you’d find in a hotel; she must have had it sent over at some point.

While Jin Ning was lost in thought, the bath towel draped over his legs was taken away.

Jin Ning snapped back to reality, grabbing a corner of the bath towel and holding it in front of him.

“Miss Chuzheng,” he said with a bit of heaviness in his enunciation.

Chuzheng pulled hard, and the bath towel fell from his hands. Jin Ning, left with no choice, covered himself with his hands.

...

Chuzheng didn’t even glance at him; she turned around to get his clothes and calmly helped him get dressed.

Jin Ning: “…”

In this posture, why did it seem like he was the one being pretentious?!

Chuzheng knelt down to button his shirt, her expression as serious and solemn as ever, as if she wasn’t facing a naked man but just a mannequin.

“Your heartbeat is a bit fast.”

After buttoning the last button, Chuzheng suddenly looked up at him.

Jin Ning felt his cheeks burning hot; he didn’t know what he looked like at that moment, but he certainly had lost his usual composure.

His voice was slightly hoarse: “You heard it?”

Chuzheng confidently: “Mm, my hearing is quite good.”

Jin Ning parted his lips, suddenly at a loss for words.

The articulate heir of the Jin Family found all speech faded to insignificance in front of this girl.

“A fast heartbeat isn’t good for your health.”

“???” That’s what you’re telling me?

Clearly, that was exactly what Chuzheng wanted to say.

She stood up after speaking and took a pair of pants.

Holding the intimate garment in her hand, she treated it like a coat with no trace of impure thoughts in her eyes.

Chuzheng helped him into his pants, tucked the shirt in, and fastened his belt with unrushed movements.

Warm yellow light bathed her face, casting a faint layer of shadow, and the indifference between her brows also looked exceptionally beautiful.

The closer she leaned in, the faster Jin Ning’s heartbeat raced.

The room seemed to be filling with an ambiance of intimacy.

Chuzheng bracing on either side of him: “Are you sick?”

“…No,” Jin Ning looked away, trying to suppress his racing heartbeat. “I’m very good. I’m a bit hungry; can we go eat something?”

“Mm.”

Chuzheng rose to her feet, taking his clothes off and directly tossing them away.

Jin Ning: “…”

Those clothes were worth quite a bit.

She really was… domineering.

Just because they had caught a whiff of a scent, his cousin’s at that, they had to be thrown out.

I wonder…

Jin Ning stopped his wild thoughts.

He didn’t even know the real purpose behind this person coming to him.

–

The Jin Family’s legacy had been passed down for centuries, and their old mansion was that quaint kind of estate.

These days, such estates were priceless and could not be bought with any amount of money.

At this moment, quite a few people stood in front of the Jin Family’s grand entrance, with series of luxury cars stopping one after another.

The newlyweds stood at the door to welcome these guests.

Wei Linxuan got out of the car with Ruan Siyu, and upon seeing this, Jin Rourou’s face fell.

“Rourou,” the groom reminded her, “don’t forget your manners.”

“What rubbish!” Jin Rourou cursed under her breath.

The groom was somewhat helpless, comforting her by patting her hand: “I’ll handle it later; you don’t say anything.”

Don’t be fooled by Jin Rourou’s gentleness, that was only for those she liked.

Towards those she disliked, Jin Rourou could make you understand what it means to be gently brought to tears.

Over there, Wei Linxuan had already brought Ruan Siyu over.

“Congratulations,” Wei Linxuan said, draping an arm around Ruan Siyu, his smile carefree and playful.

“Heh,” Jin Rourou scoffed coldly.

The groom hurriedly took over, “Please come inside, both of you.”

“Miss Jin.” Ruan Siyu called out softly, “I…”

“Who is your aunt? Don’t call me that. If you’re not coming in, don’t block the way!” Jin Rourou was very impolite.

Ruan Siyu was no stranger; she was the one who had spoken about calling off the engagement with Jin Ning at the last banquet.

Before Jin Ning’s accident, Jin Rourou also liked her very much.

After all, she came from a prominent family, dignified and proper, elegant and generous, a good match in terms of social status, and her words were always pleasing.

Who knew that as soon as Jin Ning had an accident, the Ruan Family’s attitude became strange.

Ruan Siyu was even more elusive.

Latter on, Jin Rourou heard that Ruan Siyu was often seen in public with Wei Linxuan — while Jin Ning lay in the hospital bed.

Although Jin Ning had never revealed his feelings for Ruan Siyu, Jin Rourou felt disgusted when she thought about the Ruan Family’s behavior.

When Jin Ning was well, they couldn’t wait to marry her to him.

But as soon as trouble struck, they cut off all relations immediately.

Wei Linxuan sneered, “Jin Rourou, is this how you treat your guests?”

Jin Rourou, not heeding the groom’s attempts to stop her, said, “What guest? Our Jin Family certainly can’t afford to entertain the likes of you.”

“Jin Rourou!”

Wei Linxuan laughed rather than becoming angry, “The Jin Family has long cut ties with you, you defend him so fiercely, picking a fight with me, what do you think the old man would say if he knew?”

“I am just…”

The groom desperately held onto Jin Rourou.

He lowered his voice to console her, “Rourou, don’t make a scene at the wedding, once it’s over, I’ll have someone teach him a lesson, we only have this one wedding, you don’t want to hold on to bad memories, right?”

Jin Rourou did stop making a scene, but her eyes wandered elsewhere.

The groom looked over in bewilderment.

A car had stopped over there at some unknown time.

The first to get out was a girl, who took a wheelchair from the trunk, unfolded it, and then opened the passenger door.

It wasn’t clear whether it was the pretty girl attracting the attention, or Jin Rourou, the bride, looking in that direction, but either way, everyone’s gaze converged there.

Chuzheng placed Jin Ning in the wheelchair and turned around to find herself the center of attention.

Startled, she immediately employed a commanding presence.

With so many people looking her way, she couldn’t afford to lose face.

“Ning Ning.” The bride went straight up to them, her face beaming, “The young lady is here too.”

Chuzheng nodded as a greeting, her demeanor calm and indifferent.

Jin Rourou looked at her with a bit of shock and curiosity.

She hadn’t felt this little lady was so cold back at the hotel entrance…

Jin Ning held a nicely wrapped gift box, handing it to Jin Rourou, “Cousin, happy wedding.”

“Your presence is enough; you shouldn’t have brought a gift.” Jin Rourou reached to pat Jin Ning’s shoulder.

Jin Ning hadn’t intended to avoid it, but thinking of the person standing behind him, he subconsciously dodged.

“Hey, you kid.” Jin Rourou’s hand fell through the air, she scolded playfully and quickly invited, “Come on, let’s go inside. Your cousin will take you in.”

Jin Rourou didn’t push his wheelchair because Chuzheng was standing behind, not making way at all.

Jin Rourou couldn’t help but take a few more glances at the young girl.

Such a pretty little lady.

But…

Isn’t she a bit too indifferent?

Jin Ning himself was quite reserved, and here was his girlfriend, colder than him…

Jin Rourou felt a bit worried.

But then she thought of her dear Ning Ning’s legs, and decided not to think about anything at all.

“Jin Ning.”

Wei Linxuan blocked the door, enemies meeting with heightened animosity.

Wei Linxuan hadn’t mentioned the incident at the last banquet to anyone, first because it was embarrassing, and second, still embarrassing.

Despite a thorough search, he hadn’t found out who the person who had burst in that day was.

But…

Wei Linxuan’s gaze fell on Chuzheng, and now it seemed he had found her.

A fleeting glimpse, unforgettable.
