"Jiang Ge, you can't compete with Bai Chuchu. Just give up. There are plenty of women outside; you can pick anyone. I can help you chase after them!"
Song Jie said, trying to convince him.
Song Jie had long realized that Bai Chuchu wasn't someone to mess with, but Qin Jiang was different. He saw Bai Chuchu as the perfect, untouchable ideal. He would give her anything she wanted, even if it meant working extra jobs to save up.
But Bai Chuchu clearly saw him as nothing more than a free ATM.
Of course, she also treated him like a blood-sucking tool!
"I don't need to look for women outside. I'm already married."
"As for that Bai Chuchu, that bitch, just thinking about her makes me sick. I just want her to go to hell!"
Qin Jiang said coldly, leaving Song Jie stunned on the other end of the phone.
How could Qin Jiang say such things?
Bai Chuchu was his beloved. Normally, if he said a word against her, they would almost end up in a fight.
And now, Qin Jiang was calling Bai Chuchu a bitch?
Had he taken something, or had he been possessed?
Song Jie was mostly relieved but quickly reacted and screamed, "What? You're married?"
"Who's the lucky one? Did the Qin family use you for some deal again?"
Since reuniting with Qin Jiang, the two had shared almost everything, but Qin Jiang kept quiet about Yan Liang's bizarre captivity and demands. He didn't want to drag Song Jie into danger or confess something so humiliating.
"No, this time it's voluntary."
"My wife is beautiful, much prettier than that bitch Bai Chuchu. She could even be called the richest person in Beijing."
Qin Jiang stated the facts.
But Song Jie clearly didn't believe it. Bai Chuchu, despite her viciousness, was the campus beauty at Beijing University. Her public image was that of a pure, ideal figure, with countless admirers.
In terms of beauty, it was hard to compete.
Song Jie thought Qin Jiang was just imagining a perfect wife due to his own injuries.
Song Jie shook his head, feeling sorry for his friend's mental state.
"Enough, buddy. Stop bragging. I know your worth."
"By the way, where have you been lately? You seem to be losing it. I need to take you to see a psychiatrist!"
Qin Jiang knew he wouldn't get through to him easily, so he briefed Song Jie on his current situation and warned him not to let Jiang Kexin get too close to Bai Chuchu.
Just then, a familiar voice called out to Song Jie.
Song Jie cursed internally; Bai Chuchu was already in front of him.
"Song Jie, who are you secretly calling? Be careful I tell Kexin you're cheating…"
As the campus beauty, Bai Chuchu naturally looked down on Song Jie, who, like Qin Jiang, came from a poor background.
But Qin Jiang hadn't contacted her for days.
Last time, she wanted a Louis Vuitton bag worth 23,000 yuan. Although Bai Chuchu had some ties to the Yan family, her own family had fallen from grace, and maintaining her high-status image relied on Qin Jiang's part-time work and competition prizes.
And of course, support from Qin Yun.
"By the way, you're close with Qin Jiang. Has he contacted you recently? If he does, tell him to transfer the money for the bag to my account. I've booked an appointment with the LV sales team. They said that new bag is in high demand."
Bai Chuchu showed her true colors in front of Song Jie, speaking with a sense of entitlement.
Rumors at Beijing University had long suggested that Qin Jiang was obsessed with Bai Chuchu, chasing after her like a loyal dog.
But Bai Chuchu, being pure and noble, didn't think someone like Qin Jiang deserved to stand next to her.
She had even used the excuse of not wanting their relationship to affect their studies to keep it secret. So, in public, Qin Jiang was just an annoying, persistent dog waiting for the beauty's favor.
Song Jie, standing in the school's bustling environment, could hear the mocking comments as people saw him with Bai Chuchu.
"Tsk, how can Song Jie be as shameless as Qin Jiang? Doesn't he see he's just a poor loser, not fit to stand next to the campus beauty Bai Chuchu?"
"By the way, where's our famous campus dog licker Qin Jiang? We're not used to not having him around the campus beauty like a little eunuch."
"Does the campus beauty really like him? I'd eat shit standing on my head!"
"Song Jie and Qin Jiang are both poor. Doesn't he realize his worth? He's just a toad dreaming of eating swan meat."
Hearing these remarks, Song Jie was instantly upset.
In the past, Qin Jiang had quietly endured the criticism while doing everything for Bai Chuchu. But Bai Chuchu clearly knew that Qin Jiang treated her well as his official girlfriend, even though it was a secret affair. She intentionally made him serve her submissively in public.
Her intentions were obvious.
Unable to take it any longer, Song Jie yelled:
"Bai Chuchu, who do you think you are, thinking Jiang Ge should cater to your luxury-shopping habits? He's not your boyfriend, so why should he pay for your whims?"
"Also, Jiang Ge is married now. Are you trying to be a mistress?"
"With your kind of goods, even if Jiang Ge were to consider having a mistress, he wouldn't want you. If you like to dominate and humiliate your admirers, then find someone else. Jiang Ge won't serve you anymore!"
Song Jie's temper flared. Although he knew Qin Jiang's wealthy wife was probably just his imagination, he couldn't hold back his anger.
In the heat of the moment, he didn't restrain himself.
When he came back to his senses, people around were looking at him even more disdainfully.
"Hahaha, Song Jie, have you lost your mind? The campus beauty wouldn't want a poor loser like Qin Jiang buying luxury goods for her. Each of her bags costs tens of thousands. You poor dogs probably can't even afford one of her bags with your whole year's living expenses!"
"Yeah, right. As if Bai Chuchu would ever be a 'mistress' to a loser like Qin Jiang? He really thinks he's married to a top heiress or something?"
"Forget it. Qin Jiang's just trash that can't be helped!"
The crowd laughed, and Bai Chuchu, feeling the pressure, deliberately showed off the logo on her designer bag. Qin Jiang had bought it with the prize money from several competitions he'd entered over the past three months.
But no one knew he was the one who bought it.
With a frown, she pretended to be reluctant as she said:
"Song Jie, I know you're close with Qin Jiang, but spreading rumors and slandering me like this will probably upset him."
Her words were polite, but Song Jie could still sense the threat.
Bai Chuchu was Qin Jiang's ideal woman.
Whatever she wanted, Qin Jiang always obliged. If she wanted him to cut ties with Song Jie, he'd probably do it without a second thought.
Bai Chuchu was confident in her control over Qin Jiang.
Just then, a commotion broke out nearby.
"Whoa, check it out! Is that a Bugatti Chiron parked at the school?"
"Oh my God! That's the only one in the world! It costs a fortune! Our school has such a rich person?"
"Wow, who can afford a Chiron? Must be some wealthy family's young master. Who knew our school had such hidden talent? Someone should check out who's driving that top-end sports car!"
The crowd was buzzing, and even Bai Chuchu's usual composure was starting to crack.
But she wasn't willing to lower herself to ask.
Maintaining her high-and-mighty image, she figured if it was a top young master, they'd probably know who she was if they were at Beijing University. They might even have come specifically because of her.
Thinking this, Bai Chuchu nervously adjusted her skirt and made sure the logo on her bag was visible.
She couldn't let anyone underestimate her family background.
At that moment, the Bugatti Chiron stopped right in front of Bai Chuchu and Song Jie.
Bai Chuchu's excitement was hard to hide, but she maintained a cool demeanor as she looked at the sports car.
The black window rolled down.
A man with a slender but sharply defined face appeared. He had dark circles and acne scars that slightly marred his appearance, but the Chiron made up for it.
"Son, get in the car!"
Qin Jiang glanced past Bai Chuchu, not even giving her a second look.
Song Jie was stunned.
That familiar voice?
Could the wealthy young man in the top sports car be Qin Jiang?
No, it couldn't be!
Had Qin Jiang really married a top heiress?
Was he being kept?
But he had heard that top heiresses were usually ugly and heavy, and could Qin Jiang, who was so thin, really handle that?
"Hey, stepdad~"
"I'm here!"
Song Jie quickly got in the car, completely shutting down everyone who had mocked him earlier.
Bai Chuchu felt the driver's voice was familiar, but she wasn't sure.
"Excuse me, sir, you seem familiar. Have we met somewhere before?"
Bai Chuchu flashed a sweet smile, perfectly curving her lips to look as charming as possible.
Qin Jiang sneered, "You seem a bit familiar. What's your job, Miss Technician?"
His voice was loud enough for many to hear.
In no time, the rumor of the campus beauty being insulted as a technician spread across the school forums.
The accompanying photos were clearer than ever!
Bai Chuchu's face turned pale. Gritting her teeth, she dared not offend the young master and said, "Sir, you're really funny."
Qin Jiang casually supported his head with one hand and gave her a look, feigning an apologetic expression as he suddenly realized, "Oh, you're not a foot massage girl?"
"You're a club princess."
The crowd murmured, "Club princess!"
It wasn't surprising that people heard wrong.
But wasn't Bai Chuchu supposed to be pure and high-class?
Now, she was actively hitting on a sports car owner and couldn't even retort when insulted? Was this really the campus beauty they knew?
