59: Chapter 59 You can't wake someone who's pretending to be asleep.

Wang Li, a security guard at Chuncheng University, nervously stopped a luxury car with temporary license plates.

Although he didn't recognize the car, it didn't look like something to be trifled with, so his attitude remained very polite.

The window rolled down, revealing a very beautiful and familiar face, along with a student ID.

Meng Yawen, a senior at the School of Physical Education.

After confirming her identity, he slowly raised the barrier, though he couldn't help but mutter to himself, 'Do college students today all drive such nice cars to school? As expected of university students!'

Still curious, he sent a photo of the car he had secretly snapped to a friend who knew about cars.

A moment later, a loud "Holy shit!" echoed from the security booth.

The white panamera cruised through the campus, and while it attracted many eyes, it didn't cause too much of a stir.

After all, these were students who hadn't entered society yet. Aside from a few who liked cars and studied them often, few recognized the vehicle, let alone realized it was worth over a million.

Meanwhile, downstairs at Meng Yawen's dormitory, an unwilling Dong Jian had returned and was talking to Tan Ya and a few others waiting there.

"I'm certain those luxury goods are all fake! You guys don't know cars—you don't know that the toyota corolla he was driving that day is just a piece of junk worth barely a hundred thousand. How could someone like that have the money to buy the real deal for Wenwen?"

"Help me talk some sense into Wenwen. She can't ruin her life like this!"

Tan Ya and the others treated him as if he didn't exist.

They had tried to explain before, but this man was dead set on his version of the truth, believing they were all being kept in the dark and that he was the only one who saw clearly.

So, they didn't bother wasting any more time. They had all seen Meng Yawen's social media posts; that car and that house couldn't be faked.

It was at this moment that the white panamera finally arrived at the dormitory and pulled over to the curb.

Dong Jian turned around and was shocked. "Whoa, that's a Porsche Panamera 2.9T, and it's the Executive edition. A car like that must cost 1.4 million after taxes!"

"Since when did our school have such a wealthy second-generation heir?"

His detailed explanation actually cleared things up for Meng Yawen's roommates.

When they saw the photos, they just thought the car was pretty and didn't know its specific value. Now, hearing it cost over a million, they immediately suppressed the urge to go over and touch it.

Dong Jian peered over, trying to see who could afford such a car, only to be struck as if by lightning when he saw Meng Yawen push open the door and step out.

"How can it be Meng Yawen!?"

He had been with Meng Yawen for a long time and had even met her parents; he knew exactly what kind of family background she had.

"Wenwen, is this car yours?"

Meng Yawen ignored the obnoxious man and walked straight to her roommates.

"Girls, help me carry a few things to move to my new home. I'll treat you to a big feast tonight!"

"Yay! I want hot pot!"

"A little rich lady is treating us and you only want hot pot? How pathetic. Isn't there a Japanese restaurant near the school that's super expensive? We haven't been there yet!"

Meng Yawen had plenty of pocket money now and wasn't stingy. "Then let's go to that Japanese place. Eat as much as you want; we're indulging ourselves today!"

"Yay!"

The girls bustled up and down the stairs, and the trunk was soon filled.

Most of it was the luxury goods Zhao Xiaoshuai had given her, plus some miscellaneous items she was attached to. There wasn't much in total; she left the rest for her roommates to dispose of as they pleased.

Watching the taillights of the panamera fade away, Dong Jian still hadn't quite snapped out of it.

"It must be a car from a friend's dealership that she's driving out, right? Yeah, it doesn't even have license plates. That must be it!"

"That makes sense..."

You can never wake a person who is pretending to sleep, and you can never make a person believe something they are unwilling to believe.

When forced to believe, they will choose to deceive themselves.

...

...

Chu Xinyi looked at her brother-in-law, who had appeared in her home during working hours, and was no longer surprised.

It seemed he had given up on hiding it and had completely laid his cards on the table: he was unemployed.

In fact, she had been secretly teaching herself programming for a long time and had reached a level where she could earn quite a bit of money online.

'If Brother-in-law can't find a job, I'll have to support him in the future!'

Chu Xinyi focused on practicing Pilates while planning her future.

She didn't know if it was just her age, but her size had recently increased a bit more.

Zhao Xiaoshuai, who had come over for a free meal, couldn't take it after watching for a while. He came to feel the warmth of a home, not to get all worked up.

"Xinyi, you're practicing at home by yourself and don't even know if you're doing it right. Why don't you go to the gym I usually go to? I have some sessions left. Let that sister teach you."

"Okay."

She had long been interested in that sister with the "best body in the world." She wanted to see just how good it could be!

'I wonder if she's the one whose scent is always on him...'

"Then tomorrow morn—tomorrow afternoon. I'll pick you up in the afternoon."

"I'm fine either way."

After a few more glances, he still couldn't handle it, so Zhao Xiaoshuai pulled out his phone to distract himself.

There had been quite a bit of good news lately.

On Xu Yuyan's side, the fishing operation was a success. She had obtained complete video and audio evidence. Combined with the victim's testimony provided by Guan Xiaosu, a case had been successfully filed. He believed that the man named Lei would be detained for investigation before the year was out.

However, the vast majority of victims were unwilling to testify in court and could only provide statements. It would likely take a lot of time to argue the case when the time came.

To this, he simply sent another 130,000 to Xu Yuyan, telling her to ensure this person was sentenced even if she had to throw money at it.

Taking advantage of others' kindness to bully a lonely mother trying to save her child—it wouldn't be too much to set a trap and have a person like that sentenced to several years.

On Guan Xiaosu's side, Anan's physical condition had also improved significantly. They had already contacted a doctor and scheduled the surgery.

He had also increased his goddaughter's pocket money to 130,000 per week and prepaid for a month, which was more than enough for the surgery.

However, his Bronze Card consumption had been very high lately. He had been working very hard on the only two bronze-framed characters, but he still couldn't make ends meet.

Fortunately, he had opened several more cards from the task reward packs he had completed, otherwise, the supply would have almost run out.

His progress on [Slim as a Bolt of Lightning] was currently at 40%. He had claimed the rewards four times, adding four points each to Strength and Stamina. His height and weight had also reached 180.5cm and 85kg.

The progress for [Optimism and Confidence] was at 50%. He had clearly felt the power of the Control attribute; he could lock things down whenever he wanted.

As for the [Panel Maintenance] task, he could find Guan Xiaosu to do it again in a few days. The stage reward for this task was nearly five times that of other tasks, which was very impressive.

"I'm going to start cooking, Brother-in-law. Help me wash the rice."

"On it!"

Hearing his Sister-in-law's call, Zhao Xiaoshuai pulled his thoughts back and briskly got up to work.

This was the taste of home that he had once fantasized about.
