Chapter 0007: Beautiful Female Roommate

"Hehe... Hahaha!"

Watching the check in front of him, Chu Ge suddenly burst into laughter, as if he saw something amusing.

"Three million is not a small amount; young man, don't be greedy!" Zhang Yanfang picked up her teacup and sipped it slowly, trying to adopt a detached demeanor that seemed fitting for someone of her standing. "For someone like you, I think three million is already a huge sum. Take the money, move to a small town, buy a house and a car, and you could even find a decent wife."

Saying this, she shook her head and smiled before continuing: "It is only because of what the Old Master did in the past that I am giving you this money. Otherwise, I would have kicked you out long ago."

After finishing her words, she quietly watched the young man before her, believing from her years of experience that children born in poverty could hardly resist the temptation of such an amount of money.

At this moment, Chu Ge stopped laughing and looked up, meeting Zhang Yanxia's gaze.

What Zhang Yanxia couldn't understand was that in his eyes, there was none of the greed or inferiority she expected, but rather they were like a still pond, undisturbed.

"Do you know? Actually, the real purpose of my visit was to call off the engagement."

Zhang Yanxia was stunned. She had imagined countless possibilities in her mind, but she had never anticipated this turn of events!

"Then... that's good, it just so happens that I..."

Zhang Yanxia didn't finish her sentence as Chu Ge's expression suddenly turned cold, his smile tinged with a hint of sarcasm.

"But now... I've changed my mind!"

He stood up, picked up the envelope: "I will become Bingtong's true man, and moreover, I absolutely won't acknowledge you as a mother-in-law!"

"You—" Zhang Yanxia's tone softened significantly, "Why must you do this? Being young means being impulsive. You need to think clearly about what these three million mean to you."

However, to her astonishment, Chu Ge had no intention of continuing to listen to her. He walked directly out of the villa, but just as he reached the door, he suddenly turned around and said indifferently, "You know what? Sparrows can never understand the thoughts of an eagle, because the eagle flies too high for sparrows to see!"

Watching the direction in which Chu Ge departed, Zhang Yanxia's face was covered with a layer of frost. After hesitating for a moment, she took out her phone from her bag and dialed a number.

"Hello, Master Chen, it's me. There has been a little mishap..."

....

Leaving the villa, Chu Ge sighed helplessly.

This time he had truly been tricked by the old man, with only those two hundred yuan in his pocket—in a major international city like Shanghai, two hundred yuan would barely cover a few meals.

Just as he was planning to find a job first, a white Maserati suddenly stopped in front of him, the window rolled down, revealing the stunning face of Bingtong.

"Get in!"

Chu Ge hesitated for a moment, looking around and seeing no one else, then pointing at himself he asked, "Are you calling me?"

Bingtong's mood was obviously off at that moment, she didn't want to say another word and simply opened the car door.

Chu Ge chuckled sheepishly, but instead of sitting in the back, he opened the side door and sat down in the passenger seat.

Bingtong glared at him, but didn't say anything, and directly drove the car away from the villa area.

The atmosphere in the car was obviously a bit oppressive. Chu Ge touched his nose and chose to actively break the awkward silence: "Ahem, well, the car is nice."

"Slap—"

A stack of contracts was thrown in front of him.

"You want to be my fiancé, right? Just sign this contract, and you'll officially be my fiancé," Mu Bingtong said, glancing at him indifferently.

"Fiancé in name?" Chu Ge picked up the contract, which was obviously freshly printed, listing a whole bunch of clauses.

"No physical contact without permission? Provide accommodation but no entry to other rooms without permission? Required to display traits of a fiancé when necessary? What the hell is all this?"

"You saw some of my issues earlier," Mu Bingtong sighed. At this time, the car had already stopped in the garage of a private villa.

"Let's make a deal! I'll hire you as my public fiancé, but we won't actually have any real relationship. As payment, I'll give you one hundred thousand a month!"

"One hundred thousand!" Chu Ge looked at Mu Bingtong, chuckled with interest, "Alright, I agree!"

This villa was clearly Mu Bingtong's private property, situated in a rather secluded location. In a place like Shanghai where wealthy people are everywhere, it wasn't very noticeable.

"Not only do I live here, so try to behave yourself. Apart from your own room, do not wander into other rooms. There are two bathrooms; you use the one downstairs, you are not allowed upstairs!"

Mu Bingtong led the way in front, pointing out things to be cautious of while ringing the doorbell.

However, after five or six rings, there was still no sign of the door opening. Mu Bingtong couldn't help but mutter, "What is Yaoyao up to now?"

"Click—"

Before her words finished, the villa door was pulled open, revealing a pretty face: "Sister Mu, you're back..."

However, when she saw Chu Ge, she suddenly froze, and then...

"Ah—!"

A nearly eardrum-piercing scream tore through the sky, and the door was slammed shut again.

At this moment, Mu Bingtong's face flushed red. She glanced at Chu Ge, then shouted towards the inside, "Yaoyao... why aren't you wearing any clothes?"

"Who knew you'd bring a man over!" Shen Yaoyao's weepy voice came through the door crack: "I... I was about to take a bath, and when I heard the doorbell, I just opened the door. Didn't you say it was just the two of us living in this villa?"

A look of guilt flashed across Mu Bingtong's eyes as she softly said, "Alright, Yaoyao, it's my fault this time. Hurry up and get dressed. I want to introduce someone to you."

After another ten minutes or so, the villa's front door opened again. Shen Yaoyao, now neatly dressed, stood inside, glaring fiercely at Chu Ge.

However, as she clearly saw Chu Ge's face, she suddenly paused and blurted out, "It's you, you scoundrel?"

Obviously, at the Shanghai Airport earlier, Chu Ge had already been tagged by Shen Yaoyao as a "scoundrel."

"Hehe, this is really funny." Chu Ge, with a sly grin, looked at Shen Yaoyao, his smile more smug than sincere, "Who is the one who ran out without wearing any clothes? Compared to that, the title of 'scoundrel' suits you better, doesn't it?"

"You—"

Watching a sudden outbreak of conflict, Mu Bingtong couldn't help but feel a headache coming on, feeling... perhaps she had made a very wrong decision?
