Reborn: Billionaire in College

Chapter 285 Boss, I didn't hear anything

After finding out where Zhang Xinyue lived, Zhou Guanghan quickly sent her back.

With the sound of someone taking out a key and opening the door, Zhang Xinyue arrived home, but Zhou Guanghan didn't dare to leave. After thinking about it, he stood obediently in the stairwell and paced back and forth. He planned to wait for Chen Pingjiang to come.

Fang Yuting was humming a song and brushing her teeth in the bathroom when she heard the door being pushed open and footsteps coming from inside. She mumbled incoherently, "Xinyue, how are you guys doing with the graduation ceremony today? Have you eaten yet?"

No one answered for a long time.

"Why don't you speak?"

Still no answer.

Fang Yuting was a little puzzled. After rinsing her mouth, she wiped her hands and came to the living room curiously. She saw Zhang Xinyue slumped on the sofa without saying a word.

This two-bedroom, one-living-room apartment was rented together by her and Zhang Xinyue some time ago.

Since we started working at Renren, the company has provided us with housing subsidies. In order to avoid long commuting times and sleep a little longer every morning, we decided to rent a house near the Gemini Star.

"What's wrong? Why are you crying? Graduation ceremonies are not normal. I didn't act like you when I attended a graduation ceremony."

Fang Yuting curiously sat down next to Zhang Xinyue and stroked her forehead: "You're not sick."

"Oh my, I'm so worried, Xinyue, what happened to you? Are you being wronged or bullied?"

"I... I'm fine. You go and rest. I'll just sit for a while."

"But how can I sleep if you're like this? Are we still good friends? Why don't you even tell me anything?"

It’s not that Zhang Xinyue doesn’t want to say it, but she doesn’t know how to say it or where to start.

How to tell others about that absurd scene?

Fang Yuting now feels a little sorry for those men. Women are really hard to please.

…………

When Chen Pingjiang rushed to Zhang Xinyue's residence, Zhou Guanghan had already smoked two or three cigarettes in silence.

After finding Zhou Guanghan at the stairs, Chen Pingjiang patted him on the shoulder and said, "Go back and get busy."

"Okay, uncle, the first room on the right."

Looking at his great uncle's back, Zhou Guanghan felt envious and curious.

"I don't know how my uncle manages his time, with so many aunts and uncles."

After Chen Pingjiang walked to Zhang Xinyue's residence, he took a deep breath and knocked on the door.

After a while, the door opened a little and half a head popped out.

"Hmm?" The girl in the door looked at Chen Pingjiang curiously for a while, then her eyes widened as if she had seen a ghost: "Mr. Chen... Mr. Chen?"

"Yes, it's me. Open the door first."

"Oh, oh, okay. Please come in."

Fang Yuting felt dizzy and had no idea that the person knocking on the door was Chen Pingjiang.

After the initial shock subsided, the fire of gossip in my heart began to burn.

OMG!

Mr. Chen actually came to see Xinyue.

It turns out that Xinyue had been lying all along. She was clearly from the same school but she insisted that she didn't know Mr. Chen.

No, what is their relationship?
It's impossible for him to come to my house so late to discuss work, right? Besides, there's such a big difference in their ranks, what kind of work can they discuss?

Also, Xinyue is very unhappy...

When all the clues are connected together and all the impossibilities are eliminated, no matter how strange the final result is, it is the most correct one.

Muran!

Fang Yuting opened her eyes wide and thought everything through.

For a moment, I was extremely curious and wanted to eavesdrop on what was going on, but I felt that it was unethical to do so.

Damn it, I can't help it, it's okay to listen to it. After all, it's in my house, and I didn't mean to listen to it.

What if Director Chen finds out and fires me?
Woo woo woo, who can teach me!

Chen Pingjiang naturally ignored Fang Yuting and walked straight to the living room. He saw Zhang Xinyue curled up on the sofa, hugging her legs without saying a word.

After seeing Chen Pingjiang, a light flashed in his eyes, and then he thought of something and turned his head to the side without looking at him.

"Go to your bedroom first." Chen Pingjiang said.

Zhang Xinyue was reluctant at first, thinking to herself, what rights do you have to order me around in my house?

But when she saw Fang Yuting's little head and her ears erected in the corner, and thought of Chen Pingjiang's identity, she reluctantly took Chen Pingjiang into the bedroom.

Chen Pingjiang noticed that Zhang Xinyue's walking posture was still a little unsteady, and asked softly with some pity: "Does it still hurt?"

Zhang Xinyue, who was returning to the bedroom, happened to see Fang Yuting, who was feeling guilty. When she heard Chen Pingjiang's question, her face suddenly turned red.

Watching the two people walk into the bedroom one after another and close the door with a click, Fang Yuting stomped her feet in annoyance.

There is no more melon to eat. After Chen Pingjiang entered Zhang Xinyue's boudoir, he looked around curiously.

Is it true that women’s bedrooms all have a faint fragrance?
"Oh, I've rushed here from afar, I'm so tired." As he said that, Chen Pingjiang fell onto the bed and found a comfortable position.

This made Zhang Xinyue, who had a slight obsession with cleanliness, feel uncomfortable: "Hey, you sit on the bed without taking off your clothes? It's so dirty."

"Oh, okay." Chen Pingjiang began to take off his clothes after hearing that.

"You! Don't take it off!"

"You want me to take it off, but you also want me not to take it off. You are really hard to please."

Zhang Xinyue glared at Chen Pingjiang angrily, her cheeks puffed up.

"Why did you come to see me? Would Cong Nini, that little devil, let you come here?"

Chen Pingjiang smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if she is willing or not. Can she stop me if she is unwilling?"

"That's a nice thing to say. When someone calls you hubby, I see your legs go weak." Zhang Xinyue rolled her eyes. She felt a little happy when Chen Pingjiang spoke to her in this way.

"If you don't agree, you can call me husband. I don't mind."

"shameless."

Adjusting his posture, Chen Pingjiang said, "I came to you to make things clear, not to argue with you. We have been enemies for a long time, since high school. I was annoyed by your arrogance, and your mother forced me to do that... Oh, I'm not scolding you. That's why we broke up."

"But you came to the University of Finance and Economics to find me without saying a word. To be honest, I am still a little touched, but you have to admit that it would be very tiring to get along with our personalities. If it were just an ordinary boy, he would probably be obsessed with your personality, but I can't do that. I'm very busy at work. If we were together, I would have to take care of your emotions every day. I can't do that. So I stayed away from you."

"If you want to ask me whether I like you or not, that's nonsense. If I didn't, I wouldn't have kissed you at the class reunion that year. When I saw you come to work on Renren.com, I also understand your feelings."

"What happened today was indeed absurd. I know you can't accept it to some extent. It's mainly because Cong Nini has been causing trouble, and you got so excited that you lost your mind and ended up like this. I'll tell you frankly that the two of us have come to this point by chance and necessity."

"So, I've figured it out. Rather than regretting it later, I might as well be tough and not let you go. I may not have cared in the past, but now I can no longer watch you start a new life with another man. You can say I'm arrogant or overbearing, but in short, you can and must be my woman. Except for that red book, I can give you everything else."

The expression on Zhang Xinyue's face flickered. After a while, she stood up and ran to the bedroom door, opening it.

Then she heard a cry of "Ouch!" and Fang Yuting, who was eavesdropping at the door, almost lost her balance and fell in.

"Sorry... Sorry, I just wanted to ask if you were hungry so I could make some instant noodles. Uh, you guys... You guys continue, leave me alone."

Chen Pingjiang was also speechless. What era is this? How come there are still people eavesdropping?

After closing the door again, Zhang Xinyue looked at Chen Pingjiang with a sneer: "You always say that I'm arrogant and petty, but didn't you try to tolerate me? Yes, I can't forget you. I always want to try my best to grasp that glimmer of possibility, and even convince myself to find you on Renren.com. I even fantasize about having a new beginning with you. But wasn't your last sentence too overbearing? Can't I regret it? I have already paid the price for my recklessness. Can't I leave now, can't I start a new life, can't I date other boys, can only live in your sunshine?"

Chen Pingjiang also looked into Zhang Xinyue's eyes and said firmly, "Yes, no."

"Okay, I promise you. Then you are not allowed to have any contact with Cong Nini from now on." Zhang Xinyue drew a red line.

"I can't do this either. It's just like she didn't allow me to associate with you. I don't accept any threats."

"Chen Pingjiang, you have changed. You have become a little strange to me. In my memory, you were a sunny person. Although you could be domineering, you would not be so unreasonable." Zhang Xinyue was furious.

Chen Pingjiang smiled helplessly: "Perhaps this is the price of growing up. The me in your memory is still me now. People always grow up. I admit that my mentality has indeed changed after I became rich and powerful. If you like it, just own it. There is nothing wrong with that."

By now, Zhang Xinyue has actually accepted a large part of it, but it just happened too fast and she is still angry.

Seeing that Zhang Xinyue stopped talking, Chen Pingjiang stood up from the bed, walked to Zhang Xinyue and put his arm around her shoulders. "Don't make trouble after so many years. I know you are still angry. You can beat me or scold me. I can give you the red book, but I can give you my life."

Perhaps it was Chen Pingjiang's initiative or perhaps he gave up his inner struggle, Zhang Xinyue finally couldn't help but lean into Chen Pingjiang's arms.

Going further is the abyss, never meeting each other again and being unhappy.

Taking a step back may not necessarily mean being happy, but at least you have it.

After a long while, Chen Pingjiang calmed Zhang Xinyue down before walking out of the bedroom, going to Fang Yuting's door and knocking.

Fang Yuting, who was distracted and burning with gossip, quickly opened the door. After seeing the big boss at the door, her face changed and she almost cried: "Boss Chen, I really didn't hear anything just now."

"Ah, that's not why I came to see you. Fang Yuting, right? It's a nice name. Zhang Xinyue and I are classmates, and I just came to see her today. Also, you have to work harder. I know that the housing prices in the nearby community have risen sharply recently. Starting from this month, your salary will be doubled as a thank you for taking care of Zhang Xinyue all the time."

"?" Fang Yuting was stunned. She thought she was going to be fired, but she didn't expect to get a raise, and double it.

For a moment, I really wanted to scream out in joy.

So delicious.

"Ahem. Also, there are some things that you should just keep to yourself. Don't tell other people, okay? Otherwise, people will misunderstand you."

Fang Yuting, who had just eaten a carrot, understood what he meant and immediately patted her chest: "Don't worry, Mr. Chen, I have a bad memory and I will forget it tomorrow."

Chen Pingjiang nodded with satisfaction and finally left.

After seeing Chen Pingjiang off, Fang Yuting finally breathed a sigh of relief. The moment she closed the door, she started dancing with joy: "YES, long live, I can clear my shopping cart next month."

"Xinyue, Xinyue, are you asleep?"

Zhang Xinyue looked up and saw her best friend with a happy face. The bedroom door was not closed just now, so she had heard their conversation.

"You were bribed with such a small amount of money?"

"Nonsense, am I someone who can be easily bribed? I am doing this for your happiness. Haven't you always said that there is a boy you like in the company? I really didn't expect it to be Director Chen. You hid it too well." Fang Yuting put her hands on her hips and acted very loyal: "As your best friend, I fully support your choice, and I am happy that you can achieve your goal. So... tell me quickly, what happened today!?"
