Chapter 5 Actually, I Am Rich

he felt that something really serious must have happened to him."Tianyu, are you running away from someone" After a moment of thought, Sun Xinxin asked. "Just tell me whatever it is. No matter what ha...A Master Flower Guardian in the Metropolis

"Hey, what are you going to give Xiaoqiao Qiao as a gift when you see her later" Su Beibei asked.

"A gift I am the best gift!" Xia Tian thought for a moment and said.

"Hey, do you understand anything about how girls think" Su Beibei wanted to strangle him. "You haven't seen Xiaoqiao Qiao in a long time, right Forget about giving her a sports car or diamonds, at least send her a bouquet of flowers!"

"That's true, she seems to really like flowers." Xia Tian mumbled to himself. "Back then when I gave her a thousand-year snow lotus flower, she was very happy!"

A thousand-year snow lotus

Su Beibei clenched her fists and wanted to pounce on him and give him a good beating; couldn't this bastard just occasionally refrain from boasting for once

"Forget about that damn thousand-year snow lotus, just giving her ninety-nine red roses should be enough." Su Beibei gritted her teeth.

"Red roses Where do I find these" Xia Tian was a bit troubled; no one had ever told him this before.

"You stupid guy! You don't go picking them, you buy them from a florist!" Su Beibei couldn’t hold it in anymore.

"Oh, so they can be bought. That's easy then." Xia Tian felt relieved.

"Humph, do you have the money" Su Beibei asked sarcastically. "Ordinary roses now cost ten yuan each; ninety-nine would cost nine hundred and ninety yuan. You can't even afford a car ride, how are you going to buy flowers"

"Actually, I have money." Xia Tian looked at Su Beibei seriously and said, "According to Second Master's words, I have quite a lot of money."

"Hmph, how much do you have" Su Beibei didn't believe this guy had a lot of money.

"Second Master says that the amount of money on me now is many times more than what he took with him when he left home back then!" Xia Tian answered.

"Hey, come to the point. How much do you actually have" Su Beibei asked discontentedly.

Xia Tian thought for a moment and fished out a coin from his pocket.

"That's your money" Su Beibei was stunned.

"Yes." Xia Tian nodded.

"This is what you mean by having many times more than what your master had" Su Beibei wanted to strangle Xia Tian, but she knew she couldn't beat him.

"Xia Tian, how much money did your Second Master take with him when he left home back then" Ye Mengying couldn't help asking.

"Second Master started from scratch and had no money to his name when he left." Xia Tian's answer rendered the two beauties speechless.

"Forget it, in any case, you only have one dollar on you now. You can't even buy a rose. If you want to buy flowers for Qiao Xiaoqiao, you'll need to find a way to make money, right" Su Beibei asked listlessly.

"Yes, that's correct." Xia Tian thought about it and nodded in agreement.

"I see that you're quite adept at fighting; would you consider being my bodyguard I'll pay you ten thousand yuan a month." Su Beibei finally got to the point. With this guy's financial troubles and such good待遇, he was sure to agree. Once he became her bodyguard, she could do whatever she wanted to him.

"I don't want to be a bodyguard," Xia Tian refused outright.

"Why not" Su Beibei was taken aback. "Hey, are you unhappy with the salary We can negotiate that."

"It's not about money," Xia Tian shook his head. "My second master hates bodyguards, so I don't want to be one."

"Why would your second master hate bodyguards" Su Beibei was quite bewildered.

"Because he is an assassin," Xia Tian said offhandedly.

"What!" Su Beibei exclaimed in shock. An assassin This guy was actually the disciple of an assassin Then, wouldn't that make him an assassin too

"Hey, y-you're not an assassin, are you" Su Beibei pointed at Xia Tian, her face turning pale as she recalled Xia Tian's treatment of the tiger earlier.

"Well, not yet," Xia Tian said after a moment's thought.

"What do you mean by 'not yet'" Su Beibei couldn't help but ask.

"Because I haven't killed anyone yet!" Xia Tian said matter-of-factly. He then難得地安慰了蘇貝貝一次, "Don't worry; even if I were an assassin, I wouldn't kill you."

"W-why not" Su Beibei couldn't help asking.

"Senior Second told me not to take any orders worth less than ten million, and you certainly aren't worth that much, so I definitely won't kill you," Xia Tian's answer made Su Beibei depressed again.

"Now I know why you like bragging so much. It's just like your senior!" Su Beibei said indignantly.

"There's no help for it, Senior Second doesn't think small amounts of money are worth his time. Back in the day, he made a million dollars in one day," Xia Tian replied with a smile.

"Keep on bragging until you die!" Su Beibei said through gritted teeth.

"My Senior First is even more impressive; he earned 100 million Hong Kong dollars in just an hour," Xia Tian continued to boast.

"Xia Tian, what does your Senior First do" Ye Mengying rarely spoke but always asked important questions.

"Senior First He's a doctor," Xia Tian immediately answered.

"Do you also have a Senior Third who is equally impressive" Ye Mengying inquired further.

"My Senior Third says that the money my Senior First and Second earned are ill-gotten gains and took it all away," Xia Tian waggled his eyebrows at Ye Mengying. "Sis, if you want to know more about me, marry me."

Ye Mengying's face turned red as she realized her intentions had been seen through by Xia Tian, so she stopped asking questions and focused on driving.

Su Beibei finally decided not to engage with Xia Tian anymore because she felt that he had been lying all along, which made talking to him quite tiring. It was better to save her energy.

The rest of the journey went smoothly, and after two hours, they entered Jianghai City's downtown area, where the car finally stopped at the entrance of Jianghai University.

"This is Riversea University." Ye Mengying told Xia Tian.

"Thank you, beautiful sister," Xia Tian said excitedly as he opened the car door to get out.

"Wait!" Ye Mengying handed a business card to Xia Tian. "Here's my phone number; if anything happens, call me."

"Oh, okay." Xia Tian took it and got off the car, heading towards the entrance of Riversea University.

"Cousin, why didn't you tell him that university is on holiday now" Su Beibei couldn't help but ask in the car. "Qiao Xiaoqiao isn't even at school right now; how can he possibly find her"

"I didn’t want him to find Qiao Xiaoqiao so quickly," Ye Mengying said indifferently.

“Huh” Su Beibei was stunned. "Why Do you really want to marry yourself to him"

"What are you talking about" Ye Mengying rolled her eyes at Su Beibei, her pretty face flushing slightly. "Beibei, don’t you think Xia Tian is quite mysterious"

“I didn't really notice it," Su Beibei said dismissively. “Apart from being good at fighting and boasting, he doesn't seem particularly special.”

"Have you ever considered the possibility that everything he says could be true" Ye Mengying asked slowly.

“That’s not possible,” Su Beibei was stunned. If all of it were true, then this guy would be far more than just powerful.

"If what he said is true, I don't want him to find Qiao Xiaoqiao so quickly," Ye Mengying smiled lightly. "Right now, he has no money and doesn’t have any family or friends in Riverside City; if he can’t find Qiao Xiaoqiao, he will definitely call me.

"But can't he just call Qiao Xiaqiao directly" Su Beibei was still a bit confused.

"Perhaps, he doesn’t know Qiao Xiaqiao’s number. Otherwise, he shouldn’t have been unaware that she is not at Jianghai University now," Ye Mengying said after some thought.

"Auntie, what if he calls you Should I help him find Qiao Xiaqiao" Su Beibei asked again.

"Of course, I will." Ye Mengying nodded and said, "Although we don’t get along well with Qiao Xiaqiao, no matter how you look at it, Xia Tian saved me today. I’m not a person who doesn’t repay kindness."

Shaking her head, Ye Mengying continued, "Beibei, let’s talk about this later. We need to hurry to the hospital."

Saying that, Ye Mengying pressed down on the accelerator and the car sped towards the main road.

The location of Jianghai University is very different from many other universities which are situated in remote areas. Jianghai University is located right at the heart of Jianghai City, just a few dozen meters away from its bustling streets. Even though it was still hot outside, the street was crowded with traffic. The reason for this was due to Jianghai’s large population; there were over ten million residents living within city limits.

Renowned as a prestigious institution for more than a century, Jianghai University is well-known throughout China and consistently ranks among the top five universities nationwide. Among the numerous institutions of higher learning in Jianghai City, Jianghai University stands out prominently.

"This main gate looks so shabby." Standing at the entrance of Jianghai University, Xia Tian commented on how unremarkable it was; the gate was quite plain and even inconspicuous. It would be difficult to notice the faded characters of “Jianghai University” that had endured years of wind and rain.

As Xia Tian entered Jianghai University, he looked around trying to find someone who could tell him where Qiao Xiaqiao was, but instead, he spotted a flower shop.

"Xin Xin Flower Shop" Xia Tian’s eyes brightened as the name caught his attention. He couldn’t help recalling Su Beibei's suggestion about sending flowers to Qiao Xiaqiao.everyone was stunned.Seeing the red handprint on Ye Zhiyi's face, every member of the Ye family found it hard to believe their eyes. Ye Zhiyi touched his burning cheek but didn't immediately react."Ye...
