Let’s Squander A Billion First!

Chapter 781: Chapter 781: The Childhood Sweetheart Gets Married (7)

”Drinking, fighting, brawling... You guys are quite something!!”

The dean of discipline at the police station, pointing at the line of students, was livid with rage.

”Sir, it’s not our fault, those people suddenly came over to pick a fight,” someone defended.

They were just having a good time when, out of the blue, a few guys showed up and inexplicably started provoking them.

All young and hot-blooded teens, none of them could stand such provocation, they came to blows after just a few words.

No one knew who informed the dean of discipline...

At Shengfeng High School’s dean of discipline—catching anyone meant trouble.

It just so happened that this person had a persuasive way with words; even when parents came storming in angrily, by the time he finished talking, the parents would be lucky if they didn’t leave playing mixed doubles.

”You’re talking back?!”

The dean of discipline glared at the one who spoke.

”I didn’t say anything wrong, they were the ones who threw the first punches, we can’t just not fight back,” he said.

”That’s right, sir...”

After listening to their defense, the dean of discipline pointed at them and lectured, ”Don’t think that just because your families have money, you can do whatever you want. I’m telling you, the school has its rules. How old are you now? The money from your parents didn’t come from strong gusts of wind!!”

”...”

Sir, are you even listening to us? They were the ones who started it!

-

On the other side of the brawl, there was just one teenager who came.

The teenager was dressed in the uniform of Third High, clean and neatly presented, obviously the studious type.

”Who are you?”

”Our teacher is not feeling well and couldn’t come, so they sent me,” the teenager said in an unhurried and exceptionally polite manner.

Such a child would naturally elicit a favorable impression.

”...This won’t do; a teacher needs to come, or otherwise a guardian.”

Ten minutes later.

The teenager led those fighting youths out, hands shoved in his pockets, silently walking out of the police station.

”Brother Shen...”

The teenager stopped at the door and turned around.

He took his hands out of his pockets, unwrapped a piece of candy and popped it into his mouth. The crinkling of the candy wrapper sounded exceptionally harsh to the teenagers’ ears.

The teenager folded the candy wrapper neatly and placed it back in his pocket: ”Three minutes.”

The teenagers looked at each other as the time ticked away.

”Two minutes.”

”Brother Shen, it was like this...”

The teenagers all chimed in at once, explaining the earlier situation.

School Beauty Yanyan approached them, asking them to scare a girl, just to scare her a little, nothing more.

But that girl played even smarter, she straight-up gave them money and told them to hit back instead.

On one side, there was no money given.

On the other, money was handed over.

Obviously, they listened to the money.

”Who is Yanyan?” the handsome teenager furrowed his brow lightly.

”...The school beauty,” a weak voice said: ”Gen Hao’s goddess.”

”Oh,” the teenager seemed to understand, but actually had no idea who that was: ”Since she’s your goddess, why did you help someone else hit them?”

”She’s not our goddess, but Gen Hao’s alone,” the crowd unanimously distanced themselves, singling out one particular person.

Geng Hao shrank his neck: ”Brother Shen, I didn’t agree with them, they did it for the money...”

She was his goddess.

How could he bear to strike her?

”We promise you, we didn’t hit your goddess; not a single hair on her head is missing. Rest assured, she remains the perfect goddess in your heart.”

Geng Hao: ”...” Sob sob sob, my goddess is going to hate me, we are finished!

The teenager: ”...”

”Brother Shen, this is what happened just now... wait, she said it was a down payment, the final payment hasn’t even been made yet!! It’s over, where are we going to find someone now!”

The teenager looked at the money they flashed.

A thick stack of it.

At least several thousand.

”Next time you fight, I won’t come to bail you guys out again,” the teenager retracted his gaze.

”Heh heh, Brother Shen is so awesome.”

”Thanks for saving our lives, Brother Shen.”

The youth disdained their flattery, ”I’m going back first.”

”Hey, Brother Shen, going out for kebabs?” After making so much money, you should celebrate a bit.

”I still haven’t finished my workbook.”

”...”

-

Yan Xiu didn’t know why those people were looking for trouble with them.

But Yanyan knew.

She just couldn’t understand why those few people suddenly changed their tune...

That group was known as the troublemakers of the third school, taking it upon themselves to lower the class average, with eating, drinking, and merrymaking as their goals.

To call them bad wasn’t entirely accurate. They hadn’t done anything truly bad, at most clashing with teachers, not paying attention in class, liking to play games, occasionally making lewd remarks to the girls, and trying to scare people.

To call them good wasn’t accurate either. They loitered around the school all day and hadn’t been seen doing any good deeds.

One of them named Geng Hao had a liking for her, she was well aware of it, so she used them, wanting to scare Chuzheng a little.

Previously, Yan Xiu had been revolving around her.

Thinking about it now made her angry, and she just wanted to vent.

Who knew things would turn out this way.

Yanyan dared not say that this matter was related to her.

She could only obliquely remind Yan Xiu that she had seen Chuzheng at the bar before, and she had seen Chuzheng hanging out with those people.

Yanyan didn’t lie about these two points.

Indeed, they had happened.

”Yao Chuzheng’s doing?”

”...I don’t know, I only saw them together before,” Yanyan disentangled herself and spoke ambiguously, allowing her to maneuver either way.

The others fell silent, looking to Yan Xiu.

Yan Xiu showed no reaction, ”I’ll walk you home first.”

The others watched as Yan Xiu escorted Yanyan away.

”How does Brother Xiu know the school beauty from the third school?”

”I don’t know...”

”Yao Chuzheng went too far, we must teach her a lesson.”

”To dare to put a green hat on our Brother Xiu, and now to dare to find people to beat us up, this vendetta must be avenged.”

”Right!”

-

The next morning during early self-study, the head teacher had the students gather in the playground.

Yan Xiu and others gloriously made a self-criticism in front of the whole school.

Fighting, drinking.

On this topic, the head teacher launched into a criticism lasting half an hour.

If it weren’t for a teacher reminding him that there were still classes to be held, the head teacher might have continued for another hour.

”Yan Xiu deserves it, the scumbag,” Jiang Jin clung to Chuzheng as they went back to the classroom. ”It’s a shame we didn’t hit his face...”

Jiang Jin’s words faded away.

Chuzheng looked ahead.

Yan Xiu, accompanied by two people, came over and blocked their path.

”Did you do what happened last night?” Yan Xiu asked with a cold face, his eyes filled with profound disgust.

”What thing.” Chuzheng feigned ignorance.

”You know what I’m talking about.”

”I don’t know.” Chuzheng kept her composure, ”Yan Xiu, if there’s nothing else, please let me pass.”

Yan Xiu felt a strange feeling in his heart as he looked Chuzheng over.

The person was still the same.

But the feeling she gave him was different...

The look in her eyes held no hatred, no anger... nothing, too calm.

So calm that it was unsettling.

Yan Xiu said, ”Did you bring those people last night?”

”No.”

”Someone saw you,” Yan Xiu frowned. ”You dare to do but not to admit it?”

”I didn’t do it, so why should I admit to it?” Chuzheng stood her ground: ”Don’t talk nonsense, do you have any evidence?”

Yan Xiu: ”...”
