Pursuing Her Best Friend after Confession Failed-Chapter 320 - 148: The Lively Girls’ Dormitory, Zhong Tingyue’s Suspicion_2

Yang Jinyu glanced at the receipt, her eyes widening as she saw the number.

"148 followed by three zeros... this watch is worth 148,000? That’s far too expensive. That silly boy, Li Yuan, to think he’d be willing to buy something so expensive."

Yang Jinyu considered herself a woman from a big city who had seen her fair share of the world, but even she was stunned by Li Yuan’s extravagance.

Giving me a bag worth ten to twenty thousand yuan is one thing, but giving my husband a watch worth 148,000? For that price, you could buy a small car! It would take us years to save that much on our combined salaries...

Watching Li Yuan laughing and chatting with her daughter, Yang Jinyu’s hands trembled as she nudged Bai Tianqi with her elbow.

"Old Bai, take a look at this."

Curiously, Bai Tianqi took the receipt. He rubbed his eyes after seeing the number and exclaimed in a lowered voice, "This Rolex watch costs 148,000 yuan? That’s far too expensive! I thought it was just a few tens of thousands, which is why I agreed to let you accept it. But over 100,000 yuan just for a watch? With that kind of money, you could buy a car. It’s not worth it. Not at all."

Yang Jinyu nodded and opened the box. Inside lay a dazzling gold Rolex, exuding a charming luster. She spoke softly, "This looks like a solid gold watch, Old Bai. I don’t think we can accept this. It’s too valuable. Who accepts a gift worth over a hundred thousand from their daughter’s boyfriend? Back in our home county, a bride price is only a little over a hundred thousand at most. Old Bai, what do you think?"

"Is that even a question? We have to return it to Li Yuan. It’s far too valuable."

Bai Tianqi’s heart filled with a mixture of emotions, his expression complex. He called out to Li Yuan, who was about to leave with the bottle of Maotai in hand.

"Li Yuan, wait a moment."

Li Yuan turned around in confusion. "Mr. Bai, what is it?"

Bai Tianqi walked over, handed the watch to Li Yuan, and said solemnly, "Little Li, this watch is simply too valuable; we can’t accept it. I appreciate the thought, though, so please don’t feel bad about it."

Li Yuan didn’t take the box. Instead, he reached out, took Bai Weixi’s hand, and pulled her into his embrace.

Startled by Li Yuan’s sudden move, Bai Weixi’s cheeks flushed crimson. She hadn’t expected him to be so bold as to take her hand and hug her right in front of her parents. She tried to struggle free, but Li Yuan held her tightly.

Bai Tianqi’s eyebrow twitched. He opened his mouth as if to say something but ultimately remained silent.

Then, they heard Li Yuan speak with heartfelt sincerity, "Mr. Bai, Mrs. Yang, Bai is my girlfriend. We’ve known each other for over three years. If you hope for us to be together, then please, you must accept this. This is the first time I’m formally meeting you, and this is my first gift to you."

Bai Weixi also chimed in coyly, "That’s right, Dad, Mom. Please just accept it. Do it for Li Yuan."

Just as Bai Tianqi was about to say something else, Yang Jinyu pinched his waist from behind. She looked at Li Yuan with a kindly smile, and seeing how earnest he was, she finally nodded.

"Yuan, your uncle and I certainly support you and Xixi being together. We hope the two of you can have a happy and wonderful life. In that case, we’ll take the liberty of accepting this gift."

Upon hearing this, Li Yuan immediately broke into a smile.

"Mr. Bai, Mrs. Yang, we’re all family, so there’s no need to be so polite. What’s mine is Bai’s, and it’s only right that I show my respect to you both. Right, Bai?"

"Mhm, mhm, mhm!" Bai Weixi nodded vigorously, her eyes filled with love as she gazed at Li Yuan, feeling incredibly moved.

...

Meanwhile, after parting with Li Yuan, Zhong Tingyue got into her Porsche 911 and slowly drove into Daxia University.

Since it was the National Day holiday, there were fewer people than usual on campus. When the brand-new Porsche 911 sports car drove in, it immediately caused a sensation. Nearly every student couldn’t help but stare, and some even sneakily took photos with their phones.

Even in a metropolis like Modu, very few people could afford a Porsche sports car.

"That sports car is gorgeous! It looks like a Porsche 911. Through the window, I think I see a beautiful woman driving!"

"I saw her too, and she looks a little familiar. Isn’t that the girl from the Finance Academy who had someone confess their love to her under the Mei Yuan building last night?"

"Really? Is she that rich? She can drive a Porsche sports car? Oh my god, she’s a perfect Goddess, a super-wealthy beauty."

"She’s probably that girl from the Finance Academy everyone was confessing to, this year’s freshman campus belle. It looks like she already has a boyfriend, though. He took her away right after it happened last night. And today she shows up in a Porsche?"

"Old Zhu, stop dreaming. You can look, but that’s it. A Goddess of her caliber isn’t someone ordinary guys like us can ever have. It’s just like that Porsche sports car she’s driving—if you weren’t born with it, you’ll probably never have it in this lifetime."

"I know, I know. But I’m still so jealous. We’re both freshmen, and here I am, scrimping and saving just to buy a pair of Nike basketball shoes, while she’s driving a Porsche sports car worth over a million."

"The rich always end up with the rich, while the poor can only watch. My heart is broken..."

"Broken, my ass! She was never yours to begin with. The new freshman girls just arrived, so you should hurry up and find a girlfriend..."

Because Zhong Tingyue was driving slowly, a continuous buzz of discussion followed her whenever she passed by a group of people.

At that moment, Ding Shanshan and Xu Tingrou happened to be taking a stroll across campus. Their other two roommates, Wang Lisha and Deng Meiqi, had already gone out.
