Chapter 112: Ruthlessly Lavish?

“Hey, the red envelopes aren’t all claimed yet. Who here hasn’t grabbed one?” Ye Wuqi looked up and asked as he noticed the envelopes were still unclaimed.

Lei Xingxing, sitting right across from Ye Wuqi, replied, “Looks like everyone in the group has grabbed theirs. Isn’t it just the few of us here? The beauties haven’t been added yet. Oh, right—Ye Luo hasn’t said how much she grabbed. Maybe she didn’t take any?”

At those words, everyone turned their gaze toward Ye Luo in unison.

Just as Ye Luo was about to say she hadn’t grabbed a red envelope, Ye Wuqi snatched her phone away and started grabbing one on her behalf, muttering, “Luo, you’re way too slow. When there’s a red envelope, you have to grab it fast. Don’t leave free money on the table. You must be a little slow… Wait! Damn! Luo, you actually got 520!”

“Damn!” Yan Baba exclaimed as well. “Weren’t they all 250? Damn! All the envelopes are gone, and Luo’s the lucky one! That’s awesome! But why are we all so unlucky, only getting 250?”

Qin Zhaoyu immediately chimed in, “Luo’s even luckier. She snagged 520 at the end! Isn’t 520 ‘I love you’ in numbers? It’s clear as day—Luo and President Gong are destined. Luo, you might as well give in to President Gong early. You’re going to end up together anyway, so why make it so complicated?”

Ye Luo ignored Qin Zhaoyu and took back her phone from her “ancestor.”

When Gong Lü sent out the red envelopes, there had to be some trick. How else could it be a coincidence that everyone else got 250 but she got 520?

As soon as she took back her phone, she saw a message from Gong Lü in the group: “Boarding a flight now, heading to the United States for a few days. When I’m back, I’ll treat you all to a meal.”

Then, he went offline.

Ye Wuqi and the others erupted with excitement: “Ahhhh! President Gong said he’d treat us to a meal! The food today was seriously amazing! No wonder it was made by a top chef!”

Since Gong Lü was offline, Ye Luo didn’t return the red envelope but directly transferred 520 yuan into Gong Lü’s bank account.

She had the bank account number Gong Lü gave her.

Once Ye Wuqi calmed down, he added Qiao Qingyang and the others to the group chat. While adding them, he chuckled happily: “There are only a few of us in this group now. Let’s bring in the beauties too. Next time President Gong sends red envelopes, he’ll probably send bigger amounts.”

Yan Baba immediately admired, “Qi ge, you’re so smart!”

Ye Wuqi puffed up with pride, chin raised high, basking in the compliment.

Ye Luo remained silent.

“No wonder Gong Ran acts like you’ve known each other forever, and always comes to you,” Qin Zhaoyu suddenly realized, nodding. “You live in President Gong’s villa, and she’s his sister. Of course, you’ve met before!”

Upon hearing this, Ye Wuqi shamelessly leaned closer, laughing: “Hey, Luo, since you live in President Gong’s villa, where is it exactly? Tell us! If we have time, we’ll come visit you. We want to see if the villa is really as outrageously luxurious as the news says.”

Outrageously luxurious...

Ye Luo hesitated for a moment but decided to reveal the villa’s address.

After all, this was her “ancestor.” She couldn’t just interact with him at school; they should spend more time together outside.

And since she was living in Gong Lü’s villa now, she didn’t know when she would be able to move out.

It wasn’t until the bell rang for the first class in the afternoon that Ye Wuqi and the others finally quieted down.

Ye Luo finally found some peace.

Only when the last class of the afternoon ended did Ye Luo pack her bag, ready to leave.

Noticing the box of chocolates on her desk, her hand paused briefly before she slipped the box into her bag as well.
