Chapter 281

Xia Nuannuan's sudden outburst stunned the students in the class who were familiar with her.

Although she was a super wealthy and beautiful girl, for the past half-month, her impression on everyone had always been that she had a very good temper and had absolutely no airs of a rich young lady.

Even many students felt that she had broken their own perception of "second-generation rich."

Therefore, seeing her angry at this moment, they felt quite surprised.

However, thinking of her relationship with Qin Tian, everyone felt it was a matter of course.

Zhou Yiming looked at her with an astonished gaze, his face extremely ugly.

It was his first time being scolded like this by a girl, not to mention a girl whose looks and figure were nearly perfect.

The reason he mentioned Qin Tian just now, besides being hot-headed for the class monitor election, was also largely due to the envy and jealousy in his heart.

Like many boys in their class, this envy and jealousy were naturally because of Xia Nuannuan.

"Speak up! You were quite good at talking just now. We don't even know you, why did you say those things to disgust people?"

Xia Nuannuan questioned angrily.

Zhou Yiming's eyes dodged, and he stubbornly insisted, "I... I didn't say anything wrong."

As soon as these words came out, a chorus of boos rang out around them.

Whether they were students from Class 1 or Class 2, their perception of him had reached the extreme.

At a time like this, he could still be stubborn, which showed that he didn't think he had done anything wrong at all.

On the podium, the counselor, Shu Peng, also had her eyebrows knitted even tighter.

"You..."

"Nuannuan, let me handle it!"

Qin Tian interrupted her, stood up, and patted her shoulder lightly, signaling her to sit back down.

"Don't worry, when have you ever seen me suffer a loss?"

Seeing that she was still hesitant, Qin Tian asked with a smile.

Hearing this, Xia Nuannuan nodded obediently and sat back down, but still glared at Zhou Yiming over there.

"First of all, I have to clarify that I also come from an ordinary family, not some squandering second-generation rich. Moreover, I was brought up by my mother alone since I was a child. The counselor should have seen my file regarding this."

Qin Tian said unhurriedly.

Hearing this, the students in the classroom cast astonished gazes toward the counselor on the podium.

"That's right, I can testify that everything Qin Tian said is true."

Shu Peng nodded solemnly.

Seeing this, the students were suddenly a bit confused in their hearts.

Leaving aside the car, in their eyes, Qin Tian's spending was also quite generous.

The boys of Class 1 all knew that after he came to school, he bought an Alienware laptop worth more than 30,000, and he just left it there every day; anyone who wanted to play with it could.

Could it be...

Was all this spending coming from Xia Nuannuan?

But the students in the class who were already familiar with Qin Tian instinctively felt that Qin Tian wouldn't do such a thing.

Or perhaps, was this money from his top scholar bonus?

Thinking about it this way, it made sense.

However, if that were really the case, then Qin Tian's habit was indeed a bit bad.

"So, I would absolutely never squander my mother's hard-earned money. Moreover, all my college entrance exam bonuses are kept in a card by my mother."

Qin Tian looked at Zhou Yiming over there and continued to say with a smile, "You might not believe it, but I can't help that. And about the car, it was indeed bought for me by Xia Nuannuan's parents. You might despise me, wondering why I would accept such an expensive gift while dating."

Zhou Yiming remained silent, but his expression still explained everything.

"Come on, in my view, this is just a meeting gift from my future mother-in-law and father-in-law. We'll be family in the future; is it necessary for me to refuse this kindness for the sake of so-called self-esteem?"

Qin Tian asked with a smile.

Everyone in the classroom was dumbstruck upon hearing this.

Xia Nuannuan was also stunned for a moment, then her pretty face turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Brother Tian said it well!"

Cao Mingliang shouted excitedly with a flushed face.

"Exactly, what kind of bullshit self-esteem? The future father-in-law is rich, buying a car is like buying cabbage for him. What's wrong with giving a car as a meeting gift? That's Brother Tian's ability, unlike some people who are ugly and have beautiful thoughts, only knowing how to get 'green-eyed disease.' Is that useful?"

Chen Zhuang echoed loudly.

Hearing this, Zhou Yiming's face turned red with anger, and he said shamefully, "I didn't say you shouldn't accept the car, I only said you don't lack money, and I'm different from you."

"You mean because I have a girlfriend like Xia Nuannuan, I have the capital to squander like this, using the little tricks you mentioned to buy people's hearts. Is that what you mean?"

Qin Tian smiled and said.

"That's exactly it. What, am I wrong?"

Zhou Yiming asked through gritted teeth.

"First, I'm indeed different from you. I really didn't want to be this class monitor, so I don't need to buy people's hearts."

"Second, since Xia Nuannuan and I started dating, except for some shared expenses, I haven't taken a single cent from her. I don't think there's anything wrong with being a 'kept man,' but if I were to be one, I'd wait until my stomach is bad later."

"Hahaha..."

The people around were amused by this and burst into a burst of good-natured laughter.

"Then you'll ask again, where does my money come from, why can I be so generous as you say? This matter is very complicated. To save everyone time, I won't go into details. You'll understand if you look at something."

Qin Tian took out his phone from his pocket, opened his stock trading account, and turned the phone screen toward Zhou Yiming's side.

"Oh, you might not be able to see it. Brother Zhuang, you look and tell him!"

"Okay!"

Chen Zhuang responded, looked intently at the phone screen with surprise in his heart.

Cao Mingliang behind him, and two girls from Class 2 in the front row, also curiously stood up to look at the phone screen.

"One, ten, hundred, thousand, ten thousand... over a million?"

The girl covered her mouth and exclaimed.

"This is stock trading software, right? Damn, Brother Tian, you're also good at this!"

Cao Mingliang showed an expression of disbelief and muttered, "There's over a million in idle funds, plus the stocks you hold—how much have you earned in total?"

In the classroom, everyone was so shocked they couldn't speak.

"I invested several hundred thousand. If I sold all the stocks I hold now, it should be over five million."

"Damn! A stock god!"

Cao Mingliang gave a thumbs up with an astonished face.

Several gasps of cold air rang out all around, and many students immediately stood up and surrounded them. After seeing the string of numbers on the phone screen, their eyes widened.

"I'm no stock god, just lucky and earned a little bit of pocket money."

Qin Tian put his phone back in his pocket and continued, "Besides these, I have other ways to make money. For example, I know a little bit about clothing design. I occasionally sell some clothing design drawings to a company called Lingyue Clothing. In addition, I also cooperated with others to open a few internet cafes in Jiangcheng called Tianming Internet Cafe."

"You can check relevant information about the clothing company and internet cafes on your phones. I won't say much more."

"I just want to say, don't use your greatest malice to speculate about others without any evidence. I spend the money I earn myself however I want. Is there a problem?"

As his voice fell, the classroom was already silent, so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Zhou Yiming's face was pale, and he was lost in his soul.
