My Virtual Girlfriend-Chapter 32: The House Was Robbed

Upon hearing what Yang Nuannuan said,

Little Three chattered, "We went to investigate."

"The business at that restaurant was booming." freёwebnoѵel.com

"Right, right. It was literally packed all the time. People were even waiting for tables in the afternoon."

"And, and, the front desk girl was not that enthusiastic towards the customers."

Yang Nuannuan nodded, "That’s exactly what I thought."

"So now we can basically confirm, last night Chen Yan must have booked the entire place."

Upon hearing Yang Nuannuan say this, Little Three exclaimed,

"Booked the entire place?"

"Oh my gosh. How much would that cost?"

"Right, right. That restaurant looked really popular."

During such a lamentation by Little Three, Zhao Ying, who had been silently standing by, spoke up, "Thirty-five thousand."

The other four girls had question marks pop up over their heads, curiously looking towards her.

Yang Nuannuan asked, "Brother Ying, you mean thirty-five thousand is...?"

Zhao Ying loosened the black belt around her waist, expressionless, and said, "I had someone check today, that’s the price for reserving the place. Thirty-five thousand for four hours."

"No way!" Yang Nuannuan and Little Three gasped in shock.

They had thought that last night’s dinner Chen Yan treated them to would be expensive, but they had not expected it to be that costly.

Thirty-five thousand!

That’s a common person’s annual salary!

Just to treat us to a meal?

Yang Nuannuan, usually full of confidence, also turned a bit pale.

If it had been a few thousand, with the finances of the few in their dorm, they could somehow gather it up.

Even if it was ten thousand, she could act coquettishly at home, and with her family’s condition, it wouldn’t be a big problem.

Later, they could treat Chen Yan back, resolve this favor, and it wouldn’t be an issue.

But if it was tens of thousands...

Then, even if she was sold, it wouldn’t be enough!

And she thought even further.

If Chu Qiao found out about Chen Yan spending over thirty thousand on a meal...

Oh my gosh.

Yang Nuannuan couldn’t even bear to imagine that scene.

And the usually playful Little Three also stopped fooling around at this moment; each one quietly took off the black towel from their heads and stood by the side, exchanging glances with each other, heads bowed.

But...

That wasn’t the end of it.

After loosening her belt, Zhao Ying raised her head, still expressionless, and said, "The pens, I had someone inquire about those too."

"Ten thousand."

Yang Nuannuan’s face turned even whiter.

Little Three reacted a lot more lightly.

Probably because of the shock from the thirty-five thousand reservation. Faced with six pens that together cost ten thousand, they were more accepting.

"So the pens were also ten thousand. Together with the meal, that makes forty-five thousand."

"My goodness. That’s a lot. Can’t believe those pens are that expensive."

"Yeah. They look so ordinary, never thought they’d be that costly. Surprising."

During Little Three’s sighing, Zhao Ying, expressionless, added, "Not ten thousand in total. Ten thousand each pen."

Little Three promptly gasped in unison. The words they had just uttered were instantly taken back.

Zhao Ying unusually added more, "So, it’s not forty-five thousand. It’s ninety-five thousand."

She paused, emphasizing, "We spent a total of ninety-five thousand last night with Chen Yan."

Little Three all gulped down their saliva, completely too scared to speak.

The face of Yang Nuannuan was also pale to the point of losing color.

She silently placed the folder on the table, then softly said, "I was researching all day today, and by chance, I discovered this pen’s brand on the nib. Following the lead, I found out it was a Montblanc pen."

"Montblanc is the world’s top pen manufacturer, just that they haven’t been very active in the domestic market, so not many know about them."

"Due to lack of information, I couldn’t find out exactly which series this pen belongs to. I originally thought it was just a regular item costing over a thousand each."

"But turns out..."

"It’s actually that expensive..."

Saying this, Yang Nuannuan couldn’t help but remark, "Brother Ying is just Brother Ying."

"Everything she does is so reassuring."

"You must have investigated all day, right?"

Zhao Ying looked up, face full of question marks, and said, "Nope. I’ve been practicing boxing all day. I haven’t investigated at all."

Yang Nuannuan: ?

Little Three: ??

Yang Nuannuan, "Then this..."

Zhao Ying, "I just made a phone call home, and they sorted it out for me."

Yang Nuannuan: ...

Little Three: ....

Yang Nuannuan curiously asked, "Home? Your parents?"

Zhao Ying shook her head, "Nope. The butler and the bodyguards."

Yang Nuannuan: ??

Little Three tilted their heads in unison: ??

Butler?

Bodyguards?

Just what kind of family is Brother Ying from...?

No wonder she always acts so carefree, there was indeed something fishy...

Seeing her roommates utterly shocked, Zhao Ying began to display her ’big sister’ demeanor.

She patted the shoulders of the girls and said, "Oh come on. Don’t be like this."

"I’m just from a normal family."

Yang Nuannuan and Little Three looked at her: Yeah... a ’normal’ family with a butler and bodyguards.

Zhao Ying:...

She decisively changed the subject,

"As for the things Chen Yan gave, don’t worry about it."

"It’s just something worth tens of thousands."

"It’s not much."

"We should be more concerned about the matter between Chen Yan and Chu Qiao, shouldn’t we?"

With this, Zhao Ying’s eyes sparkled with the gossip fire again.

Talking business, Yang Nuannuan and the others stopped goofing around.

Yang Nuannuan said, slightly troubled, "Brother Ying. This amount of money might not seem much to you, but to us, it really is a lot."

"For Chu Qiao, it’s an unimaginable figure."

"It could overwhelm her."

"And... if Chen Yan is sending all these expensive gifts and has inappropriate intentions towards Chu Qiao, what then?"

"He wouldn’t dare!" Zhao Ying raised her head and slapped her flat chest, saying, "I am here. No one would dare to bully you!"

"Rest assured."

"Just a few tens of thousands. Even if he gifts items worth hundreds of thousands, to me, it’s merely pocket change."

"Don’t worry."

"Besides... I think Chen Yan is a decent person."

"Aren’t you all being too sensitive?"

Hearing Zhao Ying’s words, Yang Nuannuan finally asked the question that had been lingering in her mind, "Brother Ying. Why do you always trust Chen Yan so much? And always help him?"

Zhao Ying thought for a moment and said, "I can’t really explain."

"Maybe... I just feel that he has no ill intentions towards Chu Qiao."

Yang Nuannuan and Little Three nodded slightly.

Zhao Ying, simple-minded and having practiced martial arts from a young age, had very sharp instincts.

Their dormitory of six people, why they gradually became close, almost sisters, unlike some other girls’ dormitories constantly at each other’s throats, was all because of her.

If she didn’t feel Chen Yan harbored bad intentions.

Then it’s very likely that Chen Yan truly has genuine feelings for Chu Qiao...

With Zhao Ying willing to ’step in heroically’, the girls were somewhat reassured.

After all, if Brother Ying said she could handle it, what else was there to worry about!

That’s Brother Ying after all!

Little Three also started to become active.

One by one, they popped their heads out, curiously asking Zhao Ying, "Brother Ying, what should we do next?"

Zhao Ying said, "How would I know. I don’t understand these things. Ask Nuannuan."

Little Three all looked towards Yang Nuannuan at once.

With Zhao Ying backing them up, Yang Nuannuan, who had gradually regained her composure, once again took the intellectual high ground.

She adjusted her glasses on the bridge of her nose and said, "For now, let’s not do anything. Let’s wait for Chen Yan to contact us."

"Based on his behavior during this period, if he really likes Chu Qiao, he will definitely still go through the route of making friends with us."

"Afterwards, we can probe his background, see exactly who he is and what his intentions towards Chu Qiao are..."
