"Minhui, have you heard? Shen Yuan was dumped by the senior."
Chen Ling lowered her voice and said to Fang Minhui.
"Ah? When did this happen?"
Fang Minhui was a little surprised. In her impression, they had been together for three years, so why did they suddenly break up?
"It was just yesterday afternoon. Many people at school saw it. I also heard it from others."
Shen Yuan used to drive a 4 series and dated a senior, so he had a certain reputation in Overseas Affairs. Everyone knew there was such a rich second generation.
Yesterday at the school gate, Zhou Wanting breaking up with Shen Yuan and getting into the passenger seat of an A7 was seen by many people.
Chen Ling was already very gossipy, and she enjoyed this kind of campus gossip, especially since Shen Yuan was in their class.
"I see."
Fang Minhui nodded thoughtfully. She actually used to have a good impression of Shen Yuan. He was tall and handsome, and his smile had a hint of flirtatiousness, which was very attractive to girls.
Not only was he handsome, but he was also wealthy. Being able to drive a 4 series to school meant his family must be very rich.
It was just a pity that at that time, Shen Yuan only had eyes for the senior.
"Shen Yuan looks like a spendthrift. He used to drive such a good car to school, and now his family is bankrupt. No wonder the senior left him; he's too insecure."
"Hmm."
Fang Minhui nodded, agreeing with Chen Ling's point of view. Now that Shen Yuan's family was bankrupt, the senior wasn't stupid, so she definitely wouldn't stay with him.
"It's a good thing you weren't with him back then, otherwise you would have wasted three years of your youth for nothing."
As Fang Minhui's best friend in Overseas Affairs, Chen Ling also knew that she used to like Shen Yuan.
Fang Minhui pursed her lips, unsure how to reply to that statement.
Actually, Shen Yuan always had a place in her heart. In her first and second years, she still held out hope, wishing that Shen Yuan would break up with the senior one day, so she would have a chance to get closer.
However, when that day actually arrived, Fang Minhui felt nothing.
She even thought, since the senior dumped him, why should I still be thinking about him?
It shows that besides being handsome, he really has no other advantages. The senior probably liked him back then largely because his family had money.
Furthermore, his family no longer had money. It was said that he even sold his family's cars and houses to pay off debts.
Across from her, Shen Yuan looked at the favorability value displayed above Fang Minhui's head, feeling a little excited.
Counselor Li Xiao's favorability towards him was only 65. He didn't expect Fang Minhui to have 72. It seemed the Class Beauty had never forgotten him.
But the next second, Shen Yuan was stunned, because the favorability value actually changed!
The value of 72 was slowly decreasing: 71, 70, 69...
At first, Shen Yuan suspected he hadn't sobered up and was seeing things, but after rubbing his eyes, the value was still dropping.
What the hell?
Shen Yuan instantly became uneasy. If it dropped below 60, Fang Minhui, this NPC, wouldn't be able to generate income for him!
"I can't just sit here and do nothing."
Shen Yuan stood up. Although he didn't know why Fang Minhui's favorability towards him was dropping so fast, if he let it continue to fall, he would truly miss this opportunity.
"Third Brother, what are you doing?"
Huang Haibao was slurping his noodles when he saw Shen Yuan suddenly stand up. Cao Shunjin looked up, also bewildered.
"Old Huang, let me ask you, if Fang Minhui and I got together, would you mind?"
Shen Yuan asked.
Before Huang Haibao could speak, Cao Shunjin interjected, "Third Brother, it's not a matter of whether I mind or not. The point is, you can't get the Class Beauty now."
"Do you really think you're still the rich second generation who drove a 4 series?"
Cao Shunjin was merciless in his criticism. Shen Yuan was speechless and simply didn't explain, continuing to look at Huang Haibao.
Huang Haibao said decisively, "I don't mind. As long as Class Beauty isn't with Li Zhanpeng, I don't mind her being with any man."
"Good, that's all I needed to hear."
Shen Yuan dropped the words, didn't waste any more time, and walked directly to Fang Minhui and Chen Ling, greeting them: "Morning."
Fang Minhui and Chen Ling were both a little taken aback, because they weren't actually close and had barely interacted.
In their class, boys and girls generally didn't hang out together, and they were even divided into several small groups.
Fang Minhui chatting with Shen Yuan on WeChat had to be traced back three years ago; after that, they basically never chatted.
"Morning, is there something you need?"
Fang Minhui asked softly. Although she didn't know why Shen Yuan was looking for them, basic courtesy was necessary.
"Are you free tonight? I booked two seats at Xing Qi Ji Hui Xi. Would you like to come with me?"
".?"
Fang Minhui was stunned. Shen Yuan wants me to have dinner with him?
Xing Qi Ji Hui Xi?
That Japanese restaurant with an average per person cost of over a thousand?
Chen Ling was also a bit confused. Didn't Shen Yuan just break up with the senior yesterday? And today he's asking Hui Hui out for dinner? And at such a high-end restaurant?
She knew about Xing Qi Ji Hui Xi. She often saw videos of people exploring the restaurant on Douyin and Xiaohongshu. It was one of the most high-end Japanese restaurants in Xing City.
Moreover, didn't Shen Yuan's family go bankrupt? Where would he get the money to treat Hui Hui to dinner?
Seeing that Fang Minhui hadn't reacted yet, Shen Yuan added, "After dinner, would you mind coming with me to the second floor of the National Gold Center? I also want to pick out a birthday gift for my sister."
"Tonight?"
Fang Minhui looked up at Shen Yuan. After realizing what he said, she felt a little hesitant, as everyone knew about what happened to Shen Yuan's family.
Your family is in such a state, and you're still inviting me to such a high-end restaurant?
"Yes, think about it. If you can, give me an answer before noon."
Shen Yuan smiled and pointed to her phone on the table: "Anyway, you have my WeChat."
"Hmm."
Fang Minhui nodded thoughtfully.
"Then I'll be going."
Watching Shen Yuan's back recede, Chen Ling couldn't help but whisper, "Oh my god, Shen Yuan is inviting you to eat top-tier Japanese cuisine!"
"The key is, does he have money?"
"Uh…"
Fang Minhui also realized this serious problem at this point. After careful consideration, she said, "Shen Yuan's family went bankrupt a few months ago. Business has always been about making money today and losing it tomorrow. Maybe his family is doing well again now, who knows?"
"Possibly, otherwise he wouldn't invite you to such an expensive restaurant. It's at least a thousand per person, which is almost my entire month's living expenses!"
Chen Ling said with great emotion. He was truly inhumanly rich. Sometimes, the gap between people is really bigger than the gap between pigs and people.
"What about Li Zhanpeng? Didn't you just go to the movies with him yesterday?"
Chen Ling turned to look at Hui Hui beside her. After all, she had just watched a movie with a boy yesterday, and today she was going to eat Japanese food with another boy from the same class. Was this appropriate?
Chen Ling's inner gossip was subtly on the verge of igniting, but this kind of love triangle drama was very exciting!
And all three of them were in the same class. Thinking about it, it was actually a bit thrilling!
"Minhui, was that Shen Yuan just now? What did he want with you?"
At this moment, an displeased voice came from not far away. Fang Minhui and Chen Ling turned their heads simultaneously to see that it was Li Zhanpeng.
"Uh… he asked me what classes I had today."
Fang Minhui unnaturally smoothed the hair from her forehead, casually making up an excuse.
Li Zhanpeng frowned: "Isn't the class schedule in the group? What kind of nonsense question is that?"
