Pretty and charming, dressed in the 90s, she's good at everything from making money to causing

The two finished their meal in silence, much to the disappointment of the onlookers.

Lin Ting picked up Zheng Miaoying's lunchbox and said to Jiang Zong, "Jiang, please wait for me a little longer. I have a few questions for you."

Jiang Zong, who rarely had a peaceful meal, felt he should repay Lin Ting, so he nodded.

Lin Ting bought steamed buns and vegetables for Zheng Miaoying, and left the canteen with Jiang Zong, carrying the lunchbox.

As soon as they stepped out, the cafeteria suddenly became lively, filled with voices discussing the two of them.

Many people date in college, but these two... one is an aloof and unapproachable beauty, and the other is said to have someone else in her heart. Their pairing really makes people curious.

Neither of them expected that just having a meal together would tie them together so tightly.

Lin Ting's mind was filled with thoughts of her money. After leaving the cafeteria, seeing that there were few people on the road, she asked, "Jiang, do you know how much the subscription certificates have increased recently?"

Jiang Zong: "I know."

Lin Ting waited for a while, but didn't get a reply, so she had no choice but to ask helplessly, "Then can you tell me?"

Jiang Zong: "Okay... Before I left, my father bought one for 22,000 yuan."

Lin Ting was taken aback.

Only 22,000?

its not right.

In her memory, the subscription certificates had increased by much more than just this little bit.

Not quite right.

Lin Ting frowned slightly, deep in thought.

She didn't speak, and Jiang Zong didn't say anything either. The two walked quietly, and their classmates who saw them were also shocked.

Lin thought for a long time but came to no avail.

She really didn't know anything about stocks. She only remembered that the warrants would rise a lot, but she couldn't remember exactly when they surged.

Lin Ting shook her head.

Forget it, let's wait a little longer. The first lottery will be held in two days, and maybe that's where the turning point will be.

When she came to her senses, she found that Jiang Zong had already accompanied her to the girls' dormitory building.

She stopped and said with a smile, "Thank you, Jiang. I'll head back to my dorm now."

Jiang Zong nodded, hesitated for a moment, then stiffly raised his hand and waved it at her twice.

He waved goodbye expressionlessly, looking a bit like... a lucky cat.

Lin Ting chuckled, waved to Jiang Zong, and then turned to go back to his dormitory.

Jiang Zong wanted to leave.

But then I remembered one of the 108 rules of hospitality: you should watch a lady until she is out of sight before you leave.

He stood there, gazing longingly at Lin Ting.

As Lin Ting walked, she suddenly felt a chill down her spine. She instinctively turned around and saw Jiang Zong still standing in the same spot outside the door.

Lin Ting: "...?"

What is he up to?

Is there something you haven't finished saying, or what?

She tentatively raised her hand and waved it at him twice—

Is something wrong? If not, I'm going back.

Under her questioning gaze, Jiang Zong also raised his hand and waved.

Jiang Zong felt that this was a normal response to Lin Ting's farewell.

Lin Ting, however, thought he meant—

"It's alright, you can go now."

Although the brainwave connection failed, the final outcome was what both of them hoped for.

Lin Ting turned around and left.

Jiang Zong could no longer see her, so he turned and left.

Neither of them noticed that behind the dormitory window, a whole host of heads witnessed the entire process.

Lin Ting returned to the dormitory and was about to speak when she was stared at by four pairs of eyes burning with raging fire—including Zheng Miaoying, who no longer looked at Marx.

Lin Ting shivered: "You guys, is something wrong?"

Su Yu was not familiar with her and was somewhat afraid of her, so she only dared to look at her and did not dare to speak.

Wu Yan and Li Zhi tried their best to control their emotions, unconsciously rubbing their hands together;

Only Zheng Miaoying, the simpleton, blurted out: "Listen to this, you're dating Jiang Zong?"

Lin Ting: "...?"

"WTF?"

"Where did the rumor come from?"

"Whoever is in a relationship is a dog."

Lin Ting's triple denial was firm and resounding.

But it had no effect whatsoever.

Zheng Hanhan pointed to the suitcase: "But he brought you a lot of things."

Lin Ting solemnly corrected, "That was given to me by his father!"

Wu Yan and Li Zhi could no longer contain their excitement and hugged each other, screaming with joy.

"Have you already met the parents?"

"Are you dating his father?"

The second question came from Zheng Hanhan.

Lin Ting: "...?"

Why didn't she sell Yingzi during her vacation?

A moment of kindness can lead to a lifetime of trouble.

Lin Ting reached out and nudged Zheng Miaoying's head, then placed the lunchbox in front of her: "Shut up and eat."

“But listen to how young you are…” Zheng Miaoying nervously tugged at Lin Ting’s sleeve, as if she were concerned about a wayward girl.

Lin Ting felt dizzy from her concern.

She glanced around and saw that they all looked at her with gossipy expressions. She cleared her throat and emphasized seriously, "I just happened to run into Jiang and his father when I went to Shanghai for vacation. I'm not dating him, and I'm not going to be his stepmother!"

Everyone looked at her with suspicion.

Lin Ting, hands on her hips, said, "Can I swear?"

Everyone: "You send it."

"it is good!"

"I swear on the lives of all four of you, I absolutely did not have a relationship with Jiang Zong or his father!"

Everyone: "..."

For some reason, they suddenly found Lin Ting's words to be very credible!

Lin Ting dismissed the four and casually pulled the suitcase Jiang Zong had given her.

Upon opening it, I found it completely stuffed with gift boxes; a quick glance revealed about twenty of them.

Lin Ting casually opened a palm-sized box, inside which was a Bulgari snake-shaped watch.

Lin Ting was instantly stunned.

This watch is not only expensive, but it is also not easy to buy. After all, there are no Bulgari dealers in China at present, and if you want to get one, you have to go to Hong Kong.

Its value far exceeds its actual selling price, because it also represents status.

Lin Ting's expression turned serious. She closed the gift box and then picked up another box and opened it.

The contents of this box are rather complicated.

Perhaps Jiang's father still remembered that he couldn't contact Lin Ting during the Chinese New Year, so he gave her a mobile phone.

In the 1990s, mobile phones were a rare commodity, something only big bosses could afford.

It's a little embarrassing to have someone who's used to smartphones using this thing that looks like a shoulder-mounted rocket launcher.

Lin Ting glanced at it and immediately closed the lid.

If those guys saw this, even if she swore eight times, they still wouldn't believe that she and Jiang Zong were just ordinary friends.

Lin Ting glanced back at them and saw that although they were doing their work absentmindedly, they weren't looking at her, which put her at ease.

She turned back and looked at the remaining unopened boxes, hesitant to touch them.

What else could be inside?

What did Uncle Jiang mean by giving her such a generous gift?

It couldn't possibly be a dowry, could it?
