Chen Tianming raised his eyebrows and almost laughed out loud.
Chen Tianming wasn't worried when he was kicked out of the live stream. He had the whole conversation recorded.
He turned off the screen recording and went back to Liu Xixi's live stream using another account.
The viewers there were still cursing Chen Tianming with righteous indignation.
Liu Xixi gave a pitiful and strained smile. "Everyone, please don't be mad at Tianming. We're all students here; I'm sure you guys are understanding. And Tianming has always taken care of me in real life; we're friends. It's normal for friends to help each other."
"Tianming must be short of money. He's a finance student; they usually try their hands at investing on the side; it's normal."
"Xixi is fine with it, but Xixi has signed an agreement with the company, so Xixi doesn't have so much money on hand; if my fans here are able to, please support Xixi! I love you all!"
If Chen Tianming hadn't returned on another account, he would never have known how manipulative Liu Xixi was.
She readily agreed to his face but immediately acted pitiful and stabbed him when he turned his back.
Although she seemed to be speaking up for Chen Tianming, she also revealed a lot of his private information: he studied finance at her school, A University. The only thing she left out was his name.
He had to admit; she was good at mind games.
However, Chen Tianming shook his head; he hoped she wouldn't regret her actions in the future.
Chen Tianming has classes tomorrow. He looked at the time, put down his phone, and slept.
Liu Xixi finally got off her live stream in the wee hours of the morning. She rubbed her sore neck and sent a message to Chen Tianming on WeChat.
"Why are you suddenly asking me to pay back the money, Tianming?"
"Xixi doesn't have that much money right now."
Liu Xixi waited for Chen Tianming's reply, but there was no news from him.
'Is he serious about the money, or is this a test?'
Liu Xixi knew that Tianming's family was wealthy. He had been pursuing her for half a year, but she had also strung along a few CEOs. She didn't think much of Chen Tianming, who could only ask for money from his family. Therefore, she was only interested in his money.
Liu Xixi knew that a serious relationship with Tianming would get her nowhere; the waters of an influential family like the Chen family were too deep for a girl like her.
But… maybe Chen Tianming loved her so much that he was willing to fight his family for her. Perhaps he was testing her feelings for him?
Liu Xixi became excited at the thought and quickly sent another message to him. "Tianming, Xixi is not a materialistic woman. If you're in trouble, Xixi will help you! Why don't we meet at noon tomorrow?"
Liu Xixi waited for his response for a long time before she couldn't stay awake anymore and went to bed.
Tianming only saw her messages the following day.
Chen Tianming was annoyed by the string of inconsistent messages. "That Liu Xixi acts like a f*cking bootlicker."
"A meeting? I guess that's fine." Chen Tianming also wanted to meet this old acquaintance, and he had nothing else to do.
He simply replied, "Okay."
Meanwhile, Liu Xixi was thrilled. Even though she didn't have classes that morning, she got up early to pick out her clothes and put on her makeup.
"Which outfit will he like? If this is a test, I'd better wear something demure." Liu Xixi was certain Chen Tianming was testing her, so she picked a white dress from her closet and tried it out.
She considered her image in the mirror and shook her head in dissatisfaction. This did not suit her at all. She wasn't that ghost in white, Zhou Qingyue, and white wasn't her color.
After much thought, Liu Xixi finally took out her winning blue outfit; it made her look provocative and pure.
Liu Xixi was finally satisfied after going through her get-up with a fine-tooth comb. She smiled confidently; she would have Chen Tianming under her thumb after today!
Chen Tianming, on the other hand, simply put on a white t-shirt and black shorts. He didn't even bother to run a comb through his messy hair.
It was early morning, and he was only going to class. What was there to dress up for?
Tianming headed straight to the classroom in slippers.
As soon as he arrived, the students started whispering to each other; some even took photos of him.
Chen Tianming narrowed his eyes, feeling a little displeased.
A guy with a creepy smile got so close to Chen Tianming that his phone almost touched his face.
Chen Tianming looked at him coldly and took the offending phone. He smashed its screen on the corner of a table.
The screen shattered into pieces and leaked fluid
Chen Tianming threw the broken phone before the man and said unpleasantly, "Haven't you learned to respect your betters?"
When the guy realized what happened, he was so angry he flushed red. He wanted nothing more than to punch Chen Tianming, but Chen Tianming just crossed his arms and looked at him; he didn't seem nervous at all.
Chen Tianming then made a phone call and ordered, "Zhang Ming, deliver a new phone to me in ten minutes."
He ended the call and scanned the classroom. Many had already put away their phones, though quite a few people were still recording.
Chen Tianming looked at them and sneered, "Those who took photos and shot videos, I advise you to delete them. If anyone in this classroom leaked videos or photos of me today, everyone here will receive a court summons."
"If you don't believe me, it's your call. My family has plenty of money to file the lawsuits."
Chen Tianming wasn't exaggerating; he hated these people. If he didn't put his foot down today, they would think he was weak and easy to bully.
Most students lowered their heads and fiddled with their phones, deleting said data.
The Chen family was very wealthy; they funded the building of a teaching block, a swimming pool, and a dormitory just because this young master complained that there was no air conditioning in the classroom, the dormitory environment was subpar, and he lacked a pool to swim in.
Chen Tianming had made his threat clear, and seeing the broken phone, no one dared to continue taking photos. They didn't want to risk their futures just for some gossip material.
The owner of the now-defunct phone suddenly fiercely growled, "Pfft! Stop faking it! Why are you still pretending to be rich? Didn't you corner a streamer on their live stream and asked them to return your gifts?"
Chen Tianming raised his eyebrows. So that's how it is. He had forgotten that Liu Xixi had revealed a lot of his personal information yesterday, and now her fans had managed to hunt him down in real life.
Chen Tianming approached the guy and looked down at him with a contemptuous smile as he said, "Am I pretending?"
"At least I have the money to do so. And you? Trash."
