Chapter 665 - 296: This Young Man Is a Real Nouveau Riche

Of course, the reason Xu Yun had declined back then wasn’t because Ou Jingya was flat-chested.

At the time, they had barely seen each other a few times and didn’t interact much. They both had their own circles of friends.

So they didn’t know each other very well, let alone paid any attention to whether her chest was large or small.

"There were two reasons."

Xu Yun thought for a moment. There was no reason to hide it, so he answered frankly, "One was that I genuinely liked another girl, one of my high school classmates."

"And the other was that I probably had a bit of an inferiority complex. I felt my family’s financial situation wasn’t very good, and I wasn’t good enough for you."

"How childish!"

After hearing this, Ou Jingya laughed. "Did my mom even know about your family’s financial situation? Besides, I’m not that kind of materialistic girl."

"But I cared."

Xu Yun said self-deprecatingly, "Thinking about it now, if I’d known you were going to turn into such a great beauty, I’d definitely be kicking myself."

"I can only blame it on being too young back then, letting my pointless pride get the best of me."

"So, is your current girlfriend the same girl you liked in high school?"

"No. I never managed to win her over."

Xu Yun said blandly, "After being her simp for a few years, she ended up with some rich kid."

"That’s rough."

"That’s youth for you. It’s all bitterness and stupidity."

Xu Yun replied, "Thankfully, I’ve seen the light now. If you have money, you should enjoy it. Love and romance are no longer the main theme in my world—they’re just seasoning."

"If I have it, great. If I don’t, that’s fine too!"

"Congratulations on successfully starting a new Chapter in your life."

Ou Jingya extended her hand. "With your net worth now, I doubt any woman will ever look down on you for being poor again."

"That’s true."

Xu Yun reached out, gave her hand a light shake, and smiled. "Now, I’m the one who gets to be picky."

"Alright, your driver’s here. Goodbye, and be careful on your way home."

Ou Jingya watched the designated driver arrive. After she and Xu Yun added each other on WeChat, she waved goodbye.

Watching the car drive away, she felt a little emotional.

’Seeing him today... Xu Yun has really changed so much.’

’It’s one thing to be handsome and rich, but he’s also polite, grateful, and has a great sense of humor.’

’Being with him is so comfortable. He makes you feel free and relaxed.’

’A man like that must be very popular with women.’

At that moment, a pang of regret hit her.

’If I had just listened to Mom back then, made an effort to get to know Xu Yun, and tried dating him... would he be Mom’s precious son-in-law right now?’

But alas, there were no ’what ifs’ in this world.

After seeing Xu Yun off, Ou Jingya returned home, where Wu Jinyan called her into the living room.

"Come and see the gifts Xu Yun brought for you and me."

Wu Jinyan said, "I don’t recognize any of these brands. I have no idea if they’re expensive."

"From the packaging, they probably aren’t,"

Ou Jingya walked over and first opened the gift box for her mother. Inside was an exquisite fountain pen with the word "Pike" written on it.

She looked it up.

And the result... holy cow, it was worth several thousand yuan.

"It’s that expensive?"

Wu Jinyan was astonished as she looked at the price of the pen on the phone.

Then she said, "Quick, see what he got for you!"

"Okay."

Now, Ou Jingya felt a bit of anticipation about her own gift, wondering what it could be.

From inside a plain-looking bag, she pulled out a large box.

The moment she saw the logo and name on it, she knew what it was.

It was a Sony camera.

A closer look at the model number revealed it to be from Sony’s high-end a9 series.

To be sure, she eagerly opened the box.

It really was!

Ou Jingya was completely stunned.

She loved photography, but she could never bring herself to buy such an expensive camera.

The most expensive one she currently owned cost just a little over 10,000 yuan.

"Oh, it’s a camera! Just the kind you like. It seems the boy put some real thought into this."

Wu Jinyan asked with a smile, "It looks pretty nice. How much did it cost?"

"Over fifteen thousand."

"Whoa, that expensive?"

"And I mean in US Dollars!"

Ou Jingya replied, "Converted to RMB, that’s probably around 100,000 yuan."

"100,000?!!"

Wu Jinyan said in shock, "You’re telling me Xu Yun gave you a camera worth over 100,000 yuan?"

"Mhm." Ou Jingya nodded.

’This gift is far too expensive!’

’As expected of a man worth over a hundred million. He’s so generous.’

’And to think I had my doubts about him before.’

While Ou Jingya was still in a daze, Wu Jinyan was already calling Xu Yun.

"Hello, Xu Yun?"

Wu Jinyan said, "I just saw the gifts you brought. They’re far too expensive. We can’t accept them. I’ll have Jingya return them to you tomorrow."

"Teacher Wu, it’s just a small token of my appreciation. If you don’t accept it, I won’t dare to come over for dinner anymore."

On the other end of the line, Xu Yun chuckled. "Look, when I came over, I wasn’t formal with you at all. I completely made myself at home. How can you be so formal with me?"

"But..."

"No ’buts.’ I didn’t know what to get you two when I was coming over today."

Xu Yun said, "I thought long and hard before picking these two things out. I got you a fountain pen, Teacher, since it’s something you can use every day."

"And I got a camera for my junior, because I remember you saying back in school that she really liked photography. I just wasn’t sure if she was still into it."

"She does!"

Ou Jingya chimed in with a smile, "You’re too good at picking gifts. It’s just that something this expensive is a little overwhelming."

"I’m just glad you like them. That makes the money well spent."

Xu Yun said, "Teacher, I’m almost home, so I’ll let you go. Talk to you later."
