I just wanted a sweet romance, I never imagined becoming a super-rich person!

Chapter 59: Giving the Enemy a Small Shock

Cheng Ning hung up the phone and looked in Lu Ran's direction. Although she couldn't see his face clearly, she could see that Lu Ran was sitting in front of the piano, not playing any music, perhaps because he was afraid of disturbing her while she was on the phone.

When she goes to see her high school classmates, she always makes sure to invite Lu Ran along.

While Cheng Ning was pondering what reason she could use to get Lu Ran to accompany her.

Lu Ran stretched and stood up, pretending to be casual, "Ugh, I've been staying at home for two days, it's so boring. It would be great if I could go out for a walk, have a meal or something."

Lu Ran did arm-stretching and chest-expanding exercises, circling around Cheng Ning.

"Ah, I really want to go out for a meal. I hope someone won't go out and eat something delicious without inviting me!"

Lu Ran got more and more excited as he talked, getting closer and closer to Cheng Ning, until he was almost whispering in Cheng Ning's ear.

It kept uttering demonic whispers: "No way, no way."

Cheng Ning blushed and shrank her neck. The breath Lu Ran exhaled when he spoke made her ears itch, and the roots of her ears turned red.

Finally, blushing, she said softly, "Come with me!"

She knew that Lu Ran must have overheard her conversation with Xiao Yan.

Sending an invitation under these circumstances is tantamount to admitting that it really is her family... Lu Ran!

But Lu Ran's shameless behavior meant he would keep refusing to agree, so Cheng Ning had no choice but to give in.

Lu Ran then said with satisfaction, "Alright, I'll comply."

【Ding! 】

It seems you've encountered a new rival in love. Although they're not a real threat, you still need to take each competitor seriously.

[Mission: Dress up nicely and outshine your competitors at tomorrow's party!]

[Reward: 500 Treasure Chest Experience Points.]

Lu Ran felt that the system was absolutely right; he needed to dress up properly.

"I'm going out for a bit, I'll be right back. Call me if you need anything."

After Lu Ran finished speaking, he quickly walked outside.

He needs to get a new hairstyle; he can't let others lose to him in terms of appearance.

The next day.

As the weather turns cooler, pedestrians on the streets of Chengjiang City are wearing thick coats.

At a crosswalk at an intersection, Wang Xiaoyan, dressed simply and neatly, with her high ponytail swaying with every movement, exuded an aura befitting her status and temperament.

"Xiaoyan, are you saying that Cheng Ning has a boyfriend, and that she was the one who pursued him?"

Wang Xiaoyan was accompanied by a boy and a girl.

The speaker was a girl with shoulder-length short hair named Hu Wen.

Upon hearing this, Wang Xiaoyan nodded and said, "Yes, and that boy is very, very good to Cheng Ning. As Cheng Ning's best friend who grew up with her, I am very happy for her."

Hu Wen laughed and said, "I remember you said back in high school that if I wanted to pursue Cheng Ning, I had to get past you first."

"But everyone knows that passing your test will be no easy feat."

"So it seems that the boy is indeed very nice."

The boy next to her looked a little awkward and then interjected, "Cheng Ning's situation is special. I think that without a certain level of financial resources, it's impossible to give her happiness."

Wang Xiaoyan nodded.

"Lu Caizhi, what you said is true. If the economic situation is not good, it is indeed impossible to give Cheng Ning a good future, because Cheng Ning's biggest wish is to regain her eyesight, and this is something that ordinary people really cannot help her with."

Upon hearing this, Lü Caizhi smiled.

He, Hu Wen, Wang Xiaoyan, and Cheng Ningnai were high school classmates.

When Lü Caizhi met Wang Xiaoyan yesterday, he was reminded of a girl he had liked in high school, who was Wang Xiaoyan's best friend, Cheng Ning.

Cheng Ning could be considered Lu Caizhi's ideal woman. Now that he has achieved success, he naturally wants to show off in front of his old classmates, especially his former ideal woman.

Lü Caizhi enjoys reading novels, especially urban novels.

The protagonist was unremarkable in high school, but after graduation he started his own business. At a class reunion, he "inadvertently" showed his strength, amazed his classmates, and won the favor of his "white moonlight" (his crush).

Or perhaps you could be reborn back in high school, exploit information asymmetry to make a fortune, and pursue all sorts of goddesses, etc.

Although he couldn't be reborn back to high school, Lü Caizhi felt that he was now living the protagonist's life.

With the support of his family, he started a gaming companion club worth 5 million yuan at the age of 25. He believes that few people can compare with him.

Lu Caizhi felt that his life was very similar to that of Principal Wang. He only found out that his family was very wealthy when he was about to graduate from university.

He often wondered if Cheng Ning would have rejected him if she had known about his family's wealth.

But none of that matters anymore.

Now that he has made a triumphant return, so what if Cheng Ning has a boyfriend?

An ordinary young person might feel ashamed and leave Cheng Ning without even needing him to lift a finger!

"I know a few doctor friends, including ophthalmologists. I'll contact Cheng Ning and help her schedule a corneal transplant. There shouldn't be any major problems with the reconstructive surgery."

Hu Wen exclaimed in surprise, "Wow, Boss Lü, you have such connections!"

Lu Caizhi shook his head and laughed, "It's not really a network. It's just that my family has a wide business and I've made some friends in various industries."

Hu Wen then laughed and said, "Is Boss Lü helping Cheng Ning so much because he can't forget his old flame?"

"Unfortunately, she already has a boyfriend."

Lü Caizhi smiled.

"Everyone will meet many people in their life. Not to mention classmates and friends, there will be more than one lover. As for whether they are suitable for each other and whether they can stay together in the end, it is uncertain."

"I've dated many girlfriends, and it's only been six months since my last relationship ended."

"But that doesn't stop me from continuing to search for true love."

Hu Wen replied, "I understand. You mean we should continue waiting for Cheng Ning?"

Lü Caizhi did not deny it, which can be considered as tacit admission.

Wang Xiaoyan, standing to the side, secretly shook her head.

I was thinking that you pursued Cheng Ning right after breaking up with your girlfriend, which is why Cheng Ning ignored you. It's been so long and you still haven't figured out why, and you still think you're some kind of relationship guru.

Wang Xiaoyan wanted to say, "Don't be so self-satisfied. You can show off when you meet Lu Ran later."

But then she saw Lu Ran and Cheng Ning.

He then lost interest in paying attention to Lü Caizhi.

He raised his hand and waved in one direction, saying, "Ning, this way."

Wow, there's a really handsome guy.

Hu Wen's eyes lit up immediately.

Then she realized something was off; the girl next to the handsome guy looked so familiar...

"No way, that's Cheng Ning's boyfriend? But then again, this seems more normal, they're such a perfect match."

Hu Wen immediately started shipping couples.

On the pedestrian crossing.

When the green light came on, Lu Ran helped Cheng Ning cross the street and headed towards Wang Xiaoyan.

Lu Ran dressed up specially today, with a comma-shaped fringe and a fitted trench coat. With his tall and slender figure, the outfit, which wasn't particularly stunning to begin with, became eye-catching on him.

【Ding! 】

Your competitor seems quite hostile towards you. Do something to give them a little shock!

[Task: Give the competitors a little shock.]

[Reward: 300 Treasure Chest Experience Points.]

Lu Ran suddenly felt that the green light was too short and Cheng Ning was walking too slowly, so he bent down and picked Cheng Ning up in a princess carry.

The outside light was very bright, and ordinary sunglasses could not block out all the light, so Cheng Ning was wearing a fully enclosed goggles. The goggles were already dark, and Cheng Ning's vision was still in the early recovery period.

So she didn't realize what was happening until Lu Ran held her in his arms.

She immediately grabbed Lu Ran's shirt and said shyly, "What are you doing?!"

Lu Ran coughed and said, "Cough, um, the green light is about to turn green, I'll carry you across quickly."
