Chapter 1709: Chapter 742: The Class President Actually Owns a House in Haijing? (Part 2)

In her words, a few hundred yuan is just a small amount of money, so don’t be so concerned about it.

Nobody paid attention to Lin Baici’s watch, but Bai Jiao was an exception. She took a good look and remembered the design and logo of the watch.

She thought the watch should be quite expensive. Ji Xinyan knew that Tao Nai couldn’t afford it, so she changed the topic, otherwise, it would be a problem whether Lin Baici would answer or not.

If he answered, Tao Nai couldn’t afford it, and it would be awkward, plus everyone would think he was showing off. If he didn’t answer, it might be mistaken for a cheap item, or what if Tao Nai kept asking?

That has to be said, Ji Xinyan’s social intelligence is just maxed out.

“It’s past 1 o’clock, you guys should go to class, I’ll head home.”

Lin Baici had rushed out and hadn’t brought anything. Plus, having faced such an incident today, he’s planning to find someone to check on the information regarding Feynman the Duke.

“Skipping class again?”

Pei Fei was speechless: “At the very least, you should attend once a week!”

“Just once a week, what can I learn? It’s no different from not attending at all!”

“It’s a matter of attitude!”

Pei Fei felt Lin Baici was too dismissive of school rules: “When the counselor can’t take it anymore and looks for you, that’s probably going to be the final ultimatum!”

Lin Baici laughed softly.

No need to go through the trouble, I live at her place.

Tao Nai raised her fair little hand: “Have you guys noticed a bright spot?”

“Don’t you think I know?”

Tao Nai gave Hu Wenwu a helpless glance: “It’s a play on words, don’t you get it?”

On any other day, Tao Nai would just laugh it off and be too lazy to explain, but now that Lin Baici was nearby, she seriously emphasized it. She couldn’t afford to be seen as illiterate.

Tao Nai hadn’t realized it, but after this incident, she began to be mindful of her image in Lin Baici’s mind.

This showed that Lin Baici had gained importance in her heart.

Hu Wenwu, embarrassed, scratched his head.

Saying nothing made him feel awkward, so he tried to blend into the atmosphere, yet ended up offending someone the moment he spoke.

“What’s the blind spot?”

Bai Jiao interjected.

Ji Xinyan’s emotional intelligence radar was instantly activated.

The usually reserved Bai Jiao spoke first!

Clearly, something’s up!

It can’t be said that Bai Jiao likes Lin Baici, but the goodwill has certainly increased.

“The class monitor said ‘I’m going home,’ but I remember, the class monitor isn’t from Haijing!”

Just after school started, everyone introduced themselves.

Tao Nai’s words made Pei Fei and Bai Jiao look at Lin Baici. Updates are released by novel⁂fire.net

“Did you buy a house in Haijing?”

Pei Fei was astonished, you’re just a university student, why are you going home?

That surely means you have a place, and Pei Fei remembered that at the last class gathering, Lin Baici had called a Rolls-Royce with one phone call, so he must be able to afford it.

Bai Jiao seemed nonchalant, but her little ears perked up. However, given that Ji Xinyan was with Lin Baici last night, it could be deduced they certainly have a private little nest together.

Pei Fei rolled her eyes: “Don’t worry, we won’t come to disturb you!”

Pei Fei’s casual remark directly embarrassed Lin Baici, making him quickly explain: “I didn’t mean it like that!”

“No need to explain!”

Pei Fei held her left hand flat, and her right index finger was vertically placed beneath it, making a pause gesture, indicating that Lin Baici didn’t need to say more.

Tao Nai took a deep breath: “Did I ask the wrong question?”

Lin Baici gave a wry smile. He’s no longer that naive student who knows nothing. After buying a house, he knew how high the real estate prices in Haijing are.

Not to mention what he bought is a villa king. Even a normal two-bedroom apartment would evoke envy, and jealous people might find all sorts of ways to criticize.

“So did you really buy a house?”

Tao Nai was just curious. Girls, at this age, often think about love, marriage, future life, inevitably bringing up topics like houses and cars.

“When there’s time, I’ll invite you all over, but please don’t tell anyone!”

Lin Baici pressed his hands together and pleaded with everyone: “I like to keep a low profile and don’t want to be in the limelight!”

“You’re someone who appears on the campus forum’s homepage every day, and you say you’re low-key?”

Pei Fei didn’t mean any harm, she’s just straightforward, a big silly girl.

“Wow, you really bought one?”

Though house prices were starting to drop, Haijing is still a first-tier city, and housing prices are still very high.

“Which community? How much did it cost?”

Tao Nai was like a curious child, her mouth full of questions.

As a newly graduated high school student, Tao Nai had no other intentions, just pure curiosity.

“Vanke Jade World, I don’t know how much, my mom bought it for me!”

Lin Baici really didn’t dare to say.

Ji Xinyan covered her mouth and giggled, today she finally saw Lin Baici in a bind.

Indeed, forty million, paid in full, if that number were shared, it would truly startle people and arouse jealousy and intrigue in some.

After all, as the saying goes, wealth shouldn’t be flaunted.

Still, Ji Xinyan underestimated the fame of that community.

“No way, isn’t that the community where the Internet mogul Lu Changming lives?”

Tao Nai blinked: “You ended up as his neighbor?”

“I don’t know, never met him!”

Lin Baici felt overwhelmed, wanting to tell her to please stop asking.

“You must meet him, living with such a mogul gives you opportunities for accidental encounters, more communication, and learning from their experience!”

Ji Xinyan wanted to say, this won’t happen, if Bai Jiao knew Lu Changming sold the house, and the new owner is Lin Baici, she’d be curious about her reaction.

“Alright, enough chitchat, bye everyone!”

Lin Baici quickly made his escape.

If he didn’t leave now, who knows what Tao Nai might ask next.

Before leaving, Lin Baici glanced at Ji Xinyan, but he didn’t call her to come along.

Ji Xinyan understood; they could contact each other over WeChat.

“Aren’t you going with him?”

Bai Jiao looked at Ji Xinyan.

Ji Xinyan asked, pretending not to know.

“With the class monitor, didn’t you come together?”

Bai Jiao explained: “Your plans for today must have been delayed by this incident, right?”

“We just ran into each other along the way!”

Ji Xinyan smiled slightly.

Anyway, I often go to Lin Baici’s place, I could take out my beloved little whip anytime, and play a game of horseback riding.

Ji Xinyan felt a little anticipation as she patted her own rear.

Bai Jiao stopped pursuing the matter, but in her mind, there were many swirling thoughts.

‘I thought Ji Xinyan wasn’t interested in money!’

Bai Jiao curled her lips. She used to think Ji Xinyan lived quite freely and wouldn’t bow to reality for money.

But now, it seems, she was wrong.

It’s not that she doesn’t love money, it’s that she can find a guy who has both money and looks.

‘Her taste is really good, and luck is good too!’

Bai Jiao was envious. In this regard, she conceded, admitting that she wasn’t as good as Ji Xinyan in choosing men.

However, no matter how good Lin Baici’s qualities were, there was definitely one aspect he lacked.

That is self-discipline!

Someone who doesn’t study well, no matter what inheritance they may get in the future, they will squander it!

Speaking of which, just how big is Lin Baici’s house?

Judging from Tao Nai’s words, since Internet mogul Lu Changming lived there, the community’s grade must be high, right?

Lin Baici was gone, and Hu Wenwu started feeling awkward. He stuttered out, “I… I’m leaving too!”

“Yeah, rest well, don’t overthink!”

Hu Wenwu nodded, walking away quickly, but after ten meters or so, he ran back: “Thank you all so much today!”

“We’re all classmates, no need to be polite!”

Tao Nai waved her hand.

“Wasn’t it the class monitor who handled it? You were just part of the bystanders, right?”

“Isn’t Lin Baici my class monitor?”

Tao Nai sniffled: “So, as someone from his class, shouldn’t my name be on the badge? Alright, even a quarter is fine!”

Ji Xinyan reached out and flicked Tao Nai on the forehead: “From now on, I won’t call you Little Nai Nai, I’ll call you Silly Nai!”

Tao Nai leaned close to Ji Xinyan: “As long as you tell me how big the class monitor’s house is, and how much it cost, satisfy my curiosity, you can call me Dumb Nai, and I’ll take it!”
