Picking up money

Josh was quite satisfied with the house. It had three bedrooms, two living rooms, and two bathrooms. Located in the downtown area, the business district was more prosperous and there was a lot of room for renovation.

Three and a half million dollars was paid in a lump sum graciously. The salesman had not seen such a rich man for a long time, and his face was full of admiration and envy.

He then took the initiative to send Josh back to university. When he arrived at the gate,Josh nodded and said, "You can drop me off here."

The salesman smiled respectfully and said, "Alright, take your time good sir. The process of transferring the house should be completed tomorrow, and you should be able to move in the day after tomorrow!"

"Okay."he nodded and decided to stay at the nearest hotel for the time being for the next two days.

However, he wanted to know more was what llya would feel if she saw that his house was three or four times bigger than hers.

When they arrived at the gate, he first took out 20,000 dollars before strolling into the university.

There were not many classes in the afternoon, but he had already been absent for a whole class because he had been held up outside for a while.

Seeing him walking into the classroom, Lara Jean sneered, "Oh, who is this? Isn't this Josh, the never-rich of our class? I'm telling you, don't lend your money to such a person. When you lend him money, he acts as though you're his saviour and bows to you. However, when you try to get the money back from him, he acts shamelessly like a scam trying to cheat off your money. Speaking of which, he hasn't even paid me back until now. He might have learnt these begging money skills on the street!"

The whole class burst into laughter...

They all knew that he was a poor man as he only seemed to wear two different shirts all year round. Although there was no strange smell, the clothes were already so faded and torn that they were simply unsightly.

Someone asked, "Lara Jean, how much does he owe you?"

"400 dollars. It's only a day's expenses for me, but for him, maybe a month? Putting aside how much he owes me, this kind of person is really disgusting. He doesn't even deserve to lick my shoes."

He's expression was indifferent. He looked at Lara and took out 400 dollars from his bag saying, "I'll return you the money now. I was really grateful when you were willing to lend me some money when I was starving, but you just slandered me. Let's call it even now."

Lara frowned and looked at the 400 dollars in his hand. She asked coldly, "Where did you get the money? Did you steal it or rob it?"

Someone said, "Let's look at our pockets to see if we're short of money."

"I earned it myself,"he said calmly.

"You?" Lara sneered and said, "Why don't you look in the mirror before saying something so outrageous? How can you earn yourself 400 dollars in the morning? Did you sell your body or something?"

The whole class burst into laughter and said, "Hahahaha, I'm afraid that this guy is not worth so much money even if he goes to sell himself."

Seeing as so many students laughed at him in the classroom,Josh sighed and sat back in his seat. "Lara, don't talk so mean."

Lara snorted and put the money away, "Then tell me what you have done? Answer some of our questions!"

Chuck frowned for a long time and made up an excuse. He said casually, "I found and picked the money on the ground."

"Oh, lucky eh?" Lara smirked, her malicious tone showing some envy.

The other students also asked with jealousy, "Hey, how much did you pick up?"

Many people were interested and asked one after another, "Yes, tell me, how much did you pick up?"

Josh was speechless. He stared back at his classmates and continued to lie, "Two thousand."

"What? You actually picked up two thousand? Damn it, that's my living expenses for more than a month!"

All the students were surprised and envied him very much. If they had his luck and picked up two thousand dollars, their lives would be much more comfortable and easier.

"Hmph, you suck. Picking up other people's money and claiming them as your own."

"Such a shame of our class!"

When these "classmates" ridiculed him because of jealousy, Queenie Carson was the only one who stood up for him in the class.

But he didn't even care about these mean words, so he just let them talk about it.

After class, josh went to llya's staff room.

Because there was no class in the afternoon, she was listening to music in the staff room When she saw josh, her expression soured. "What are you doing here? Didn't I tell you that you are not allowed to look for me in between classes?"

Josh said with a wry smile, "I just want to tell you that I'm going to move out today."

"You want to move out? Are you kidding?" llya sneered.

Since she was young, she had grown up withJosh. Knowing him like the back of her hand, how could he move out? Does he want to sleep on the street?

But he had been timid since he was a child, even insisting to use her as his body pillow when sleeping. If it weren't for the death of his grandfather, god knows how much longer she would've to be hugged by him to sleep. llya thought.

Such a person sleeping on the street? He wouldn't dare to do that even if he had ten times the courage.

"I am not joking with you. I'll move out today." He said seriously.

"Well, I'd like to see how long you can stay out on the street, Don't come back begging to me like a dog."

"I won't."

After he finished speaking, he turned around and left the office.
