Pursuing Her Best Friend after Confession Failed

Chapter 700: Chapter 242: From Love Rivals to Best Friends, The Bootlicker and The Green Tea_4

Xu Zhi hesitated, debating whether or not to say anything when he heard Wang Yuchen’s cold voice.

"If you don’t want to talk about it, forget it. I don’t want to know either."

Xu Zhi gritted his teeth. Yuan, I’m sorry. He then explained, "Yuchen, some time ago, Yuan and I started trading stocks together and made a bit of money."

"Stock trading?" Wang Yuchen was taken aback. She had, of course, heard of it but had no personal experience. All she knew was that with the current financial crisis, the stock market was doing poorly.

"Hmph. The stock market is terrible right now. How much could you have possibly made? Enough to pay me back for my phone?"

Seeing Wang Yuchen take the bait, Xu Zhi was secretly delighted. He waved his hand dismissively, trying to act nonchalant. "Ah, it wasn’t much. Only about one hundred thousand yuan. It should be enough to buy you a new phone."

"One hundred thousand?" Wang Yuchen’s voice was filled with disbelief.

That amount was equivalent to four years of tuition and living expenses for many college students.

She might be seen with Bai Weixi every day—riding in luxury cars, living in a mansion, and wearing designer clothes—but she had less than one thousand yuan in her own bank account. Her family was just an ordinary, working-class one.

While she found it hard to believe Xu Zhi could make one hundred thousand yuan so quickly, the fact that he did it with Li Yuan made it plausible. When it came to Li Yuan, even the most miraculous things seemed ordinary.

Wang Yuchen stared into Xu Zhi’s sincere, worried eyes. Thinking about how she had given herself to him last night, her mind began to race. Even if I can’t get a boyfriend like Li Yuan, with Xu Zhi’s connection to him, maybe I can make a lot of money in the future too...

Wang Yuchen gave Xu Zhi a deep, resentful look. Her stare made his scalp tingle, and his heart pounded with anxiety. If this didn’t work, he had no idea what to do next.

He steeled himself, remembering what Li Yuan had told him, and decided to raise the stakes.

"Yuchen, you know how I feel about you. If you can forgive me, I’ll do anything for you."

Wang Yuchen felt a surge of joy, but she maintained her resentful expression. "You’d really do anything for me?"

Xu Zhi nodded eagerly. "Yes! Of course, I would!"

Wang Yuchen looked him straight in the eye and said calmly, "You’re the one who said it. If you transfer all your money to me for safekeeping, then I’ll believe you."

Xu Zhi was stunned, subconsciously repeating, "Transfer it to you for safekeeping?"

Wang Yuchen immediately let out a cold smirk and turned her head away. "Hah! Forget it then. And here you were, saying you’d do anything for me. You’re just a liar!"

Provoked by her challenge, Xu Zhi grew hot-headed and hastily agreed to the "unequal treaty" she had proposed. "Yuchen, believe me, I’m willing. My money is your money. It’s only right that you hold on to it."

Hearing him agree, Wang Yuchen raised her head proudly. A rare smile touched her lips as she let out a soft, "Mmm."

Xu Zhi asked, "Yuchen, should I transfer it to you now?"

Wang Yuchen simply replied with another quiet, "Mmm."

The five-star hotel room naturally had a computer. Without another word, Xu Zhi logged into his online banking, got Wang Yuchen’s account number, and transferred 100,000 yuan directly into it.

"Yuchen, look. I have a total of 108,000 yuan in my account. I’ve transferred 100,000 to you, leaving 8,000 for myself. Is that okay?"

Staring at the transfer confirmation on the computer screen, Wang Yuchen felt a thrill of excitement rush through her. Still, she maintained a calm facade and said, "Mmm, I won’t spend it recklessly. I’ll save it for you, so we can buy a house in Modu someday."
