Let's Squander A Billion First!

Editor: Atlas Studios

The lawyer presented a house sales contract.

Once the contract was presented, Uncle and Auntie immediately panicked.

The lawyer said, “Under the right of being Mr. Ye Chen’s guardian, both of you had sold the house which was left behind by Ye Chen’s parents for $1,300,000.”

Ye Chen stood up and snatched the contract from the lawyer’s hands.

He swiftly flipped the contract only to see the stamp and signature on the last page of the contract. His fingers trembled and the contract slipped past his fingers before falling onto the ground with a thud.

He raised his head violently as his eyes were filled with maliciousness. It was the same look he gave Chuzheng when he saw her for the first time.

“You… sold my parents’ house?”

He emphasized every syllable.

Upon seeing Ye Chen’s gloomy and cold gaze, Uncle subconsciously took a step back.

It was only a while later that he realized that he was actually scared by a little brat’s stare.

Uncle and Auntie suddenly scolded him, “We have taken care of you for so many years and yet you teamed up with others to create trouble for us! You ungrateful brat…”

“After your parents left, if we didn’t raise you and take care of you, you would have starved to death! Would you still live till today?”

“We have raised you for nothing!”

“Raising a dog would be better than raising you! How could you do such a thing…”

Both of them talked as if they were giving a two-man comic show.

Ye Chen laughed in exasperation as darkness slowly burgeoned in his eyes… They still dared to mention this, just who exactly was the reason for his suffering, all these years?

A hateful feeling built up in Ye Chen’s heart as his mind was filled with a murderous intent, making him look as if he was surrounded by a dark aura.

They…

“Clang”

The glass shattered onto the ground and Chuzheng casually retracted her hand. The anger Ye Chen suppressed in his heart seemed to have also burst out together with that crash.

The room immediately fell silent.

Chuzheng raised her feet to step on those shattered glass pieces and thus produced crunching sounds.

The lawyer sweated in embarrassment. This girl did not look very fierce, but the feeling she gave off seemed very… fierce.

“So much nonsense.” Chuzheng kicked the shattered pieces of glass. “Sign the papers and we will leave.”

The lawyer was stumped.

Following this, the lawyer immediately took out two documents. “Mr. Ye and Mrs. Ye, please sign these two documents and Ye Chen will sever all ties from both of you from now on.”

“What?”

The two of them looked at the lawyer with a dumbfounded look.

Even if they did not want to sign the contract, they would have to. After all, Chuzheng did not bring so many bodyguards here for a show.

After Chuzheng brought Ye Chen to settle all of the papers and Ye Chen got his very own household register, he stood under the sunlight and had never felt so relieved in his life before.

The mountain that was weighing him down for all these years seemed so easy and normal… to her.

Ye Chen turned around to look at the girl who had her back to him. She looked towards the busy city life with indifference and seemed as though regardless of how scorching hot the sun was, it could never melt the coldness in her eyes.

“Ji Chuzheng.”

The girl turned around and looked at him quietly.

“I will return it back to you.” ‘I will repay you for everything that you’ve done for me.’

Chuzheng dug into her pockets before giving him a pair of keys.

‘This is my house key…’

‘Wasn’t it sold already?’

“One million and five hundred thousand,” said Chuzheng. ‘The system’s mission was for me to buy back the house. What can I do? I could only buy it back.’

Ye Chen was stunned.

[…]’Little miss! You will not have any friends if you act so barbaric!”

Ye Chen took over the pair of keys and squeezed it slightly.

He must grow and mature until there came a time where he could stand alongside her.

It was only then that he could confess to her.

Uncle Ye and Auntie Ye sold the house because they wanted to repay their debts. However, the money was not enough to pay the debt and Ye Chen had coincidentally caught the eyes of the debtor, therefore, they used Ye Chen as collateral.

Uncle Ye and Auntie Ye had never thought that those bunch of people would still find them.

Because Ye Chen had run away.

They look for trouble from Chuzheng but to no avail. Instead, they were threatened by her.

As the saying goes one cannot afford to offend, but one could stay away from them.

They did not dare to find Ye Chen who was under Chuzheng’s protection and hence could only find Uncle Ye. After all, he was the one who owed them money and it was only normal that he had to repay it.

But Uncle Ye had no money and even had his leg broken by his debtors. Every now and then, the debtors would knock on his door for money.

Not long after, Auntie took their last bit of money and ran away.

Uncle Ye had no one to take care of him and both of his legs were broken. In the end, he could only live on the streets and hence, he lived miserably for the rest of his life.

On the other hand, Ye Chen was busy with his college entrance examinations.

Perhaps, it was because his biggest trouble was already settled, Ye Chen’s condition during the examination was very good.

He cannot mess up the examination.

He must work harder so he can…

Ye Chen was able to be admitted into one of the National Key Universities, however, he did not choose overseas universities but local ones.

The school he chose was not bad and was even close to Chuzheng’s school.

Perhaps, because he no longer had his Uncle and Auntie pestering him, in his new environment, Ye Chen slowly changed.

He was no longer that weakling who was bullied every day.

Chuzheng followed King’s instructions and continued becoming a prodigal as per usual. She even threw all the things that she bought to Ye Chen.

Ye Chen refused to accept them, but Chuzheng would threaten him using all types of methods… she was very fierce.

After Ji Tongtong quit school, she did not appear again and Chuzheng did not see her since.

Meng Ran was also admitted into Ye Chen’s university, but Chuzheng did not bump into him. It was not until an event was held that they met, but Meng Ran only gave her a complicated look before turning around to leave.

“Chuzheng.”

Ye Chen wore a white casual wear as he stood at her school gate to wait for her. Compared to the Ye Chen from a year ago, the current Ye Chen seemed to be a changed person.

He was bright, handsome and attracted the attention of many.

Chuzheng walked over. “Is there a problem?”

“Are you free this weekend?”

“I am not free.”

“You have something on?”

“Hmm.”

“What is it?”

“…spend money.”

Ye Chen was speechless.

“I will… accompany you?” asked Ye Chen tentatively. Since he could not change her decision, he could only follow her decision.

“Hmm.”

Chuzheng casually agreed and walked outside. Ye Chen took her school bag. “Do you have homework today?”

“Yes.”

“I will complete it for you?”

“Okay.”

Ye Chen was stunned.

It was really tiring talking with her. She never talked more than she had to and would always use one word to express her feelings and would never use two words.

Ye Chen walked beside her and asked carefully, “You are going to take the college entrance examination soon, have you thought of a university that you want to go to?”

After hanging out with her for a long time, he had realized that her results were not bad.

She did not do her homework because it was too troublesome and the most important thing was she wrote really slowly.

Chuzheng remained silent for a few seconds before spitting out a word coldly, “Nope.”

Ye Chen felt delighted for a second. “If that’s the case, can you… enter my university?”

He stayed here for her so if she did not get admitted to his university, he would… No matter what, she must be admitted into his university.

Chuzheng side-eyed him and Ye Chen immediately kept a straight face.

“Okay.” With him, there would be someone to carry her stuff when she spent money. What a great moveable storage! Besides, she still has that mission so she cannot go too far away from him.

‘It’s so difficult to be a friend!’

Ye Chen’s long eyelashes trembled slightly. ‘She… agreed?’

Ye Chen was full of the joys of spring as he felt as though his blood was boiling from excitement.

‘She agreed!’
