"Mr. Jiang, thank you, I understand now!" Fang Yujie took a deep breath and bowed deeply to Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen nodded and stood up, saying, "Come on, Miss Fang, let me take you to experience what us poor students eat. Let's go to the cafeteria for a meal!"

"Uh... okay." Fang Yujie hesitated for a moment and then nodded gently.

With Fang Yujie joining Jiang Chen and his three friends, the five of them headed to the cafeteria. As Fang Yujie sat down at the table with her meal, she frowned.

"What's wrong? Can't eat?" Jiang Chen asked with a slight smile. "Our cafeteria food is actually pretty good, considering it's a university canteen. You should see the middle and high school canteens—you'd find it even harder to eat!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than Jiang Chen took a bite of his steamed bun and picked up a chopstick-full of not very oily greens.

Fang Yujie looked at Jiang Chen as he stuffed the vegetables into his mouth, shock written all over her face.

After yesterday's competition ended, she had investigated Jiang Chen. Although she still didn't know what he did for a living, she found out that he lived in Dingyun Lake Villa and had a good relationship with Lin Bingrui. To think he could enjoy these foods she would never normally touch, she couldn't help but feel a sense of respect for Jiang Chen.

No matter who it was, it was easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality!

Even if Jiang Chen's life had been extremely hard in the past, now that he had such a large company and considerable wealth, yet he still maintained a sense of normalcy, it was something very rare. Very few could do that!

"Hey? I've never seen this beauty before!" A provocative voice rang out. A young man dressed in designer clothes, holding a meal tray, walked over to Jiang Chen and the others' table.

After looking at Fang Yujie, the young man patted Jiang Chen's shoulder, "Buddy, move over a bit."

Jiang Chen and his friends were sitting at a six-person table with Fang Yujie and Jiang Chen on one side, and Zhang Wenjie and his two friends on the opposite side. There was one empty spot at the table, but it was obvious the young man wanted Jiang Chen to give up his seat—he was aiming to take the spot next to Fang Yujie.

Jiang Chen glanced up at the young man but said nothing. Before he could speak, the young man took out his wallet, slapped it down in front of Jiang Chen, and said arrogantly, "Take as much cash as you want from inside!"

Zhang Wenjie and the others were stunned and frowned at the young man. This behavior was clearly meant to be insulting.

Jiang Chen looked at the wallet, then back at the young man, smiled faintly, and casually pushed the wallet aside, continuing to eat his meal.

"Kid, you didn't hear me talking to you?" the young man's face turned cold, and he spoke in a low, sharp tone.

But Jiang Chen still ignored him.

"Hmph! Coward!" The young man glanced at Jiang Chen disdainfully and then turned to look at Fang Yujie, "Beauty, if you follow a wimp like this, you'll get bullied. Come with me instead, I'll take you for a spin!"

While speaking, the young man took a car key out of his pocket.

"Wow! Isn't that a Mercedes key?"

"Who is that guy, driving a Mercedes to school?"

"Don't you know him? That's Wang Zheng, the son of Wang Tianfeng, the owner of Huifeng Mall!"

"Huifeng Mall? The one on the street south of our school? That's got to be worth several hundred million!"

Some people, drawn by the commotion, looked over and recognized the young man, starting surprised conversations among themselves.

Hearing these remarks, Wang Zheng glanced at Jiang Chen with a smug look. Seeing Jiang Chen continuing to mind his own meal, he assumed Jiang Chen was using eating as a cover for his embarrassment and disdainfully said, "Hey, these days, without money, you can't even support a girlfriend!"

"I can support myself!" Fang Yujie put down her chopsticks and spoke indifferently.

Wang Zheng was slightly taken aback, surprised by Fang Yujie's response.

"Your trick won't work on me," Fang Yujie glanced at Wang Zheng, took out her car key, and placed it on the table.

"What kind of car keys are those?"

"Holy shit! Those are Maserati car keys, and they look like a custom model too!"

"A custom Maserati? How much would that cost?"

"At least ten million to start with!"

"How does that compare to Wang Zheng's Mercedes then?"

"What's there to compare? His Mercedes is pretty nice, but it's not one of those high-end models. At most, it could only afford a wheel of that lady's car, not even the engine!"

A group of students, amazed, shouted out their disbelief, as one car enthusiast among them explained to his fellow classmates.

Wang Zheng was stunned too!

His Mercedes keys placed next to the others were like comparing a beggar to an emperor.

He thought he was a rich tycoon, but his face was slapped in an instant, instantly becoming a poor sod!

Wang Zheng's face flushed red.

After a moment, he calmed his emotions and looked at Fang Yujie with confusion, "Miss, if you're so well-off, why would you follow such a wimp?"

"Who I follow is none of your business," Fang Yujie glared at Wang Zheng, no longer bothering with him, turned to Jiang Chen, and said with a hint of worry, "This has nothing to do with me, you can't blame it on me."

"Am I that petty?" Jiang Chen rolled his eyes, put down the chopsticks he had been holding, and by then, his plate was already empty.

"I have something to take care of, so I'll be going first. You guys enjoy your meal!" He wiped his mouth and called out to Zhang Wenjie and the other two.

"Boss, take care!"

"Boss, goodbye!"

Zhang Wenjie and the other two waved goodbye to Jiang Chen, they didn't think Jiang Chen was chickening out. This was someone who once single-handedly took on a hundred people, and his car was way better than Wang Zheng's. The three of them understood that Jiang Chen didn't want to stoop to Wang Zheng's level.

Jiang Chen didn't want to stoop to that level, but someone did not intend to let it go. Just as Jiang Chen turned around to leave, Wang Zheng stepped forward to block him, "Kid, do you think you're worthy of this beauty? Look at you, all poor and wretched standing next to her, aren't you embarrassed for the lady? Apart from having a face, what else do you have? Are you planning to be a gigolo?"

"Feeling that offended? Then let her leave, I don't want her following me anyway, it's nothing but trouble!" Jiang Chen smirked.

"Don't think you can take this chance to send me away!" Fang Yujie quickly reached out and grabbed Jiang Chen, he hadn't yet agreed to treat her grandfather's illness, how could she possibly leave!

Wang Zheng was stunned.

What is this situation? It wasn't that the destitute kid was clinging to the beauty, but the beauty was clinging to the destitute kid? How... how is that possible?

The classmates around were also stunned, staring blankly at Jiang Chen and Fang Yujie.

"Beauty, you..." Wang Zheng wanted to ask what was going on.

Fang Yujie, annoyed, gave Wang Zheng a fierce stare and snapped, "Get lost!"

"You..."

Wang Zheng was full of doubts, really not understanding how such a pretty and wealthy girl could be so shamelessly attached to a nobody like Jiang Chen?
