Chapter 1582: The Fake Young Master Is Going to Be Pampered by the Real Young Master 12

Zhu Suisheng sat quietly on the balcony sofa chair, gazing through the still-undecorated Christmas decorations at the liveliness in the Living Room; after a long while he lowered his eyes and sent a message to Jin Chen.

In the dormitory, Jin Chen finished organizing the sheet music, picked up his phone, and took a look.

Zhu Suisheng: Transfer 200,000.

Jin Chen chuckled, really a simple and unadorned feeling.

Cold-hearted freak (pitiful version):?

Zhu Suisheng didn't expect Jin Chen to reply so quickly; he hadn't figured out his reason yet.

A few minutes later.

Zhu Suisheng: The scarf is nice, I bought it.

Zhu Suisheng: No refusing! Otherwise I'll come find you tomorrow.

Cold-hearted freak (pitiful version): So if I don't accept it, I can still see you tomorrow.

Zhu Suisheng choked on the wine, coughed a few times turning his head, and the corners of his eyes and cheeks flushed slightly.

Jin Chen, what does this mean?

Zhu Suisheng put down his wine cup, curled up in the sofa chair, and let his thoughts wander.

But Young Master Zhu never had the habit of letting himself suffer a loss; after hesitating a few seconds, he placed a call.

Jin Chen answered quickly; Zhu Suisheng heard a fleeting piano note and wondered aloud, "Are you practicing piano?"

"No, I'm arranging." Jin Chen shut off the computer screen, turned to look at the poetry anthology borrowed from the library, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Suddenly sending over 200,000, I guess it's because I saw the protagonist doing something eye‑catching.

"What, how am I? I'm fine," Zhu Suisheng said, gazing at the liveliness inside the glass window; the balcony door had good soundproofing, so all he heard was the wind and Jin Chen's voice.

"What did you just mean by that? You really want to see me, right?"

Zhu Suisheng's question was blunt and naked, with no hint of ambiguity; Jin Chen relaxed his smile and replied, "It depends on you."

Suddenly, silence fell on this end of the phone.

Zhu Suisheng unconsciously buried his face in the scarf as the night‑time cold approached; the soft fleece clung closely to his skin, and a strange throbbing made his thoughts a little muddled.

"You speak so strangely, no one can understand." Zhu Suisheng whispered, his voice muffled by the scarf also taking on its softness.

"Do you treat everyone like this?"

"No." Jin Chen's tone was serious, "You're different."

Zhu Suisheng watched Shi Qian walk toward the balcony, his eyes showing some pity; through the glass he gave her a smile and said, "I'm going to have dinner now, see you tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow."

Zhu Suisheng hung up, put his arm around Shi Qian's shoulders, and said, "Mom, why did you come out? It's cold outside."

"You know it's cold, yet you're still out here, you silly child." Shi Qian, eyes red, gently stroked Zhu Suisheng's hair and said, "If you're unhappy, why not tell Mom?"

"I'm not unhappy." Zhu Suisheng said with a smile, "I'm very happy, Mom."

"But… he said, you missed the first twenty‑plus years of his life, so it's only right that you spend a little more time with him now."

Thinking of Zhou An, Shi Qian sighed; she didn't know why, but whenever she saw him she couldn't help feeling pity, sometimes beyond her control.

"Never mind, Dad's back too—let's eat."

——

After the meal, Zhu Suisheng went upstairs early; Zhou An was happy not to stay in the same place as him. Today he received so many expensive gifts, each one more luxurious than anything he had seen in two lifetimes, making him value the title 'richest son' more than anything else.

As expected, the person who transmigrated into the book is the protagonist of this world—everything he wants will come to him!

At this point, regarding Zhu Suisheng, the vicious villain, Zhou An actually felt that he was nothing special.

Anyway, he knows the plot's direction; after a while, once his relationship with the Zhu family is solid, he can deal with it later without delay.

"Hey Zhou An, I heard from your mom that I recognized you after seeing your jade pendant at the Christmas party." A noble lady said, "What kind of jade pendant is it? Let me give auntie a look too."

Shi Qian smiled and said, "It's the one passed down in my family—you've seen it before, haven't you? But it's been many years; Zhou An, let auntie have a look."

Zhou An handed over the jade‑pendant bracelet; a few minutes later, the noble lady looked doubtfully at Shi Qian, then at Zhou An, and said, "This…"

"What's wrong?" Zhou An felt his chest tighten, wondering if the jade pendant still held some information about Jin Chen.

The obligatory perfunctory relatives had mostly left; the noble lady hesitated, looking at Shi Qian and said, "Sis, this is just a low‑grade imitation, right? … Could Zhou An's things have been swapped?"

She certainly couldn't voice another guess, or else she'd be slapping the Zhu family in the face.

"What?" Shi Qian hadn't paid attention that day; later, when the genetic test results came out, she became even more convinced. At that moment, she and Zhu Chengde exchanged a startled glance, then both looked at Zhou An, whose expression was a little panicked.

"Zhou An, what's going on?"

Zhou An's inner turmoil grew even more frantic.

Jin Chen…

Jin Chen said he lent him the genuine article, not a fake! Later he swapped in a counterfeit and confirmed he hadn't made a mistake.

How could this happen!

In the blink of an eye, Zhou An suddenly came up with a good way to deal with Jin Chen.

Zhou An hurriedly shook his head, "No… it couldn't be him…"

Although his voice was low, everyone who should hear it still did.

"Who, did someone swap your jade pendant?" Shi Qian asked.

"Just say what it is." Zhu Chengde frowned and said.

Zhou An: "There's another recommended student in our dorm; I've had some minor friction with him. Before, he asked me about the jade pendant and even doubted how I, as a fellow recommended student, could afford such a fine piece."

In just a few short sentences, Jin Chen's image in Zhou An's mouth had already become that of someone who deliberately swapped the jade pendant.

"Flourishing Star actually has such a thing." Shi Qian was a bit angry, "That jade pendant must never fall into outsiders' hands; tomorrow Mom will go to your school to demand an explanation."
