《I am a Big Villain》Chapter 40: The Phoenix Man who Destroyed the Bridge After Crossing the River 4

“Junior Jiang, you texted me last night asking to reset your computer’s firewall. I’m currently busy, so you better find other people in our major. This one isn’t an inconvenient problem. It can get solved by students in second-year and third-year.”
Yan Chu helped Meng Xinyin scrape the meat off the lamb chops. Dingxiangyuan’s lamb chops were not onerous and grilled on the charcoal fire, so they were crispy on the outside, tender on the inside. From sprinkling with some cumin and chili to give enough delicate fragrant, it was their signature dish.
It was not very elegant to wear gloves and gnaw while eating, so every time he ordered this dish in the store, Yan Chu would help Meng Xinyin tore up the sheep bones and meat for her to eat.
Meng Xinyin was enjoying her boyfriend’s intimate service. When she heard this, she was stunned and looked at Jiang Moli subconsciously.
“That will do.”
Jiang Moli’s expression became stiff, but she responded very quickly. When Meng Xinyin looked over, she had recovered to a bright and lively appearance at the beginning.
“I originally thought the Department of Computer Science is familiar with your little skill before I asked you for help. Since you didn’t have time, I’ll ask other students around me if they are free.”
Jiang Moli’s heart almost thrown a torrent of abuse on his head from Yan Chu’s scoldings. What’s wrong with him? How can he talk about contacting him privately in front of Meng Xinyin?
“Yan Chu is busy with programming these days. He’s indeed busy. I can hardly ask him out.”
Meng Xinyin always felt that she had some bad feelings. Her best friend went around to contact her boyfriend. She heard this news from her boyfriend’s mouth. Although it was just a trivial matter like repairing a computer, how to say it?
Looking at Jiang Moli’s magnanimous expression that did not seem fake, she felt that maybe her thinking went crooked, so she explained to Jiang Moli to help Yan Chu.
“I understand. Actually, my computer isn’t a big problem. It’s just got a virus recently. I’ve lost all the files that I didn’t have time to back up. Although it’s going fixed later, I’ve some shadow in my heart. I’m always worried that it will happen again.”
Jiang Moli did not seem to care about Meng Xinyin, and she was relieved.
Because of this episode, Jiang Moli did not dare to talk to Yan Chu for the rest of the meal. Looking at the two people opposite with the act of you fed me a lamb chop, I gave you a chopstick of fish fillet, she was fed up and disgusted that she did not have a good appetite.
She was not tall, only 160 cm, and also would look even shorter if she was fatter. To control her body and save more money on cosmetics, clothes, and jewelry, she did not eat much at every meal. Sometimes, she only needed to eat a piece of corn or a few carrots for one. At this table today, she also had a few mouthfuls of lamb chops, drank a bottle of coconut juice, and a few mouthfuls of fish. Then she put down her chopsticks, just watching Yan Chu and Meng Xinyin eat.
Meng Xinyin was with her boyfriend today. She had a good craving. But no matter how good her appetite was, she was a girl. There still half left even with this man Yan Chu, who had been locked in the bedroom for several days and lived in a lunch box every day.

“I’ll pay the bill and ask the waiter in passing to bring some packing boxes.”
Yan Chu had almost eaten all the meals. In fact, in the later period, the two girls only had a drink and a soup, as they watched him eat alone.
With Jiang Moli there, it was almost impossible to have a chat after dinner. Yan Chu just got up to pay the bill. He did not know that Meng Xinyin had paid for it.
The doggy bags by Dingxiangyuan were free. You just had to pack your things on your own. When Yan Chu left, he just met a waitress and asked her to take some doggy bags to the private room where they were. Then he went to the front desk to check out.
“It’s not the same as having a boyfriend, tsk tsk.”
Jiang Moli watched Meng Xinyin skillfully packing the leftovers. What do you think about the eldest daughter of an affluent family who liked a poor boy? The next trip to the restaurant still packed the excess foods. It was visibly shameless! But unfortunately, Meng Xinyin did not feel that way. What kind of drug did Yan Chu give her?
She curled her lips and did not stop her movements to help Meng Xinyin packed leftovers.
“I’m done. Let’s go.”
When Yan Chu went to pay, he heard that this table’s bill had already been settled. Now he knew that it was Yinyin who thought that Jiang Moli had ordered too much, and secretly helped him pay the money first.
He felt a little funny and almost thought of how she was worried deeply about his wallet at the time.
In fact, he was not poor now, or even a little wealthy. But since his girlfriend was determined to help him in front of Jiang Moli, he still did not expose this matter in front of Jiang Moli.
Seeing that he did not say that she had tied him up to pay the restaurant bill in advance, Meng Xinyin was finally relieved.
After freeloading the meal, if she followed Meng Xinyin again later, she was afraid it was not tactful. Jiang Moli was not so careless. She separated from them at the doorway of Dingxiangyuan, said that she would go back to school to ask if there was any the Departement of Computer Science’s senior willing to help her out to equip her computer, which also correct.
At least Meng Xinyin heard it and thought that maybe Jiang Moli was really in a hurry to find someone to install a firewall. The reason why she contacted Yan Chu in private was that she utterly had not thought that much. After all, Jiang Moli had always been such a careless and silly girl when she was with her.
Jiang Moli waved to them. When she turned around, her face suddenly collapsed, becoming dark and ugly.
“Yan Chu, where are you taking me?”
Meng Xinyin was wondering whether to ask Yan Chu if Jiang Moli had talked with him about other topics besides repairing her computer. Perhaps in terms of feelings, every woman was a miser, and Meng Xinyin was no exception.
Because of a long time of trance, when Meng Xinyin realized that the place where Yan Chu took herself today was a place they had never been to before, she was already sitting in the taxi.
Considering Yan Chu’s economic situation, the most frequent places of dating were the school canteen and garden, followed by the cinema near the school, because considering student spending, the cinema near the school often had discounts.

This time, unlike in the past, Yan Chu took her directly to a taxi, and then came to the Real Estate Sales Office.
Chunjiangli was a newly opened real estate near Tianshui University. The developer ranked first in the country and took the middle and high-end route. The housing area ranged from 88 m2 to 136 m2. The target population is the middle class with a secure economic foundation.
It needed to know that the average price of housing price in Jīnshì was 50,000. Tianshui University was an old campus. The original site was close to two ring roads, and the house price here was even higher. Besides the real estate business’s brand name, the opening selling price was as high as 70,031 already. Even for the smallest housing type, it would cost more than 6 million. Ordinary people could not get this down payment even if they bit their teeth.
It was quite remarkable when this young couple, handsome man and beautiful female, walked in with purpose, especially the dress on Meng Xinyin’s body and shoulder, in the eyes of the sales lady whose eyes were sharper than those of the radar detector. That was the potential customer.
They regarded Meng Xinyin and Yan Chu as unmarried couples who were preparing for their new house. A quick-eyed sales lady rushed over with the information, enthusiastically welcomed them in the first moments.
It needed to know that for every house they sell, they could get several thousand royalties.
“Excuse me, Sir and Madam, in which of our house types are you interested? If the budget’s sufficient, I recommend three bedrooms of 128 m2 and four bedrooms of 136 m2 for you. Because as a wedding house, you can live in a house with children after marriage, especially for the 136 m2 house, there’s also a nanny room. Of course, if the budget’s limited, I recommend our best 88 m2 and 112 m2 house types that Chunjiangli sells now. It’s very cost-effective with reasonable house type that makes the most of the space, but also providing a small balcony of 4.5 m2,”
The sales lady handed a stack of floor plans to Yan Chu and Meng Xinyin. Meng Xinyin smiled awkwardly and pulled at the corner of Yan Chu’s lower hem of a jacket at places that the sales lady could not see.
“Can we have a look at the 128 m2 model house? Your house is a refurbished one, right?”
Yan Chu calculated the money he had now. Apart from the initial fund, there was no problem in paying the down payment for the 128 m2 house.
“Our houses are all refurbished, only need to buy soft furnishings and electrical appliances after delivery. Sir and Madam, please come and visit our Model Room with me.”
The total price of a 128 m2 house was nearly 10 million. Her commission would not be less than her one month’s salary. The sales lady praised her eyesight and told herself that she must seize the prospective client in front of her.
“Yan Chu, let’s go.”
Meng Xinyin whispered in Yan Chu’s ear, even though her family was in good condition, but she was still a student now. Except for the clothes and bags that her mother helped her buy, she just had a kind of fixed living expenses. In addition to some previous New Year’s money and the like, there were more than 400,000 in the full-time private fund, even the scrap of house down payment had not arrived yet.
“What’re you afraid of? Let’s only take a look. You should exercise before we get married in advance.”
Yan Chu pinched Meng Xinyin’s palm and followed the sales lady to the hall.
When hearing the word ‘marriage,’ Meng Xinyin’s face suddenly turned red. She thought that no one stipulated that she would buy a house after seeing it. So she would not refuse.
The 128 m2 house type was pretty good, with three bedrooms, two living rooms, and two bathrooms, also a small study. Although each room was not very large, it was a pretty nice house in Jīnshì, where the land was notably expensive.
The house of Meng Xinyin’s family was vaster than this small house, especially the villa where she lived with her parents. It had a garden in front and a swimming pool in the back. The bedroom, cloakroom, and bathroom belonging to her were more substantial than this house.
However, Yan Chu also said that it was an act of buying a wedding house for the two of them. In this way, Meng Xinyin’s feeling was completely different.
“I like this balcony. If the floor is higher, you can see half of Jīnshì. Maybe we can see our school.”
Meng Xinyin took Yan Chu’s hand and turned around. There was no reluctant appearance beforehand.
“This study is a little small, but it can get accessed from the secondary bedroom next door. Then you can compile your computer program here, and I can paint over here. There are bay windows in this secondary bedroom, I’ll arrange a tatami here, and I’ll lie here to sunbathe in summer.”
Meng Xinyin had only lived in a small four-story villa. She had not tried to live in a small high-rise building, with more than 20 floors. It was so novel.
The sales lady looked at the mistress, who seemed to be very satisfied with this residence and thought that this case was already more than half done. Usually, when unmarried couples looked at the new house, the mistress made the decision.
The 128 m2 house was not very large. It took less than 10 minutes to stroll around.
Meng Xinyin just strolled to have fun, but she also knew that they could not afford the house in front of them, she thought to herself. She held Yan Chu’s hand and wanted to tell the sales lady that they were going to look at other buildings, and then left.
“Miss, help me figure out how much the down payment for this house will cost. If the price is right, we can sign the contract now.”
This house type was the best house Yan Chu could afford now. Although he got along well with the roommates in the dormitory, some of the things he had to do were too troublesome in the dormitory. He planned to move out, but there were many problems with renting the house, so he just bought one himself.
He is only a third-year university student this year, and Meng Xinyin was also a second-year university student. It would be at least three years before they got married. At that time, he believed he could give Meng Xinyin everything better.
“Yes, with pleasure.”
This one was estimated to be the most refreshing house buyer the sales lady had ever seen. At once, she went to get the calculator in a hurry.
“You’re crazy.” Meng Xinyin glared at Yan Chu, thinking that if she and her mother said that they wanted to buy a small house near the University nowadays, it would be too late.
“Well, my little housewife, have you forgotten that one of my little games just got sold out? I still can afford to pay for the down payment of this house alone.”
Yan Chu said while holding Meng Xinyin’s hand tightly on his chest.
“How much did you sell?” Meng Xinyin initially thought it would be nice to sell a small program for 120,000, but now listening to Yan Chu’s meaning, she was afraid he bought several million.
Yan Chu gestured a figure of eight, which was unmistakably not 80,000 or 800,000, but 8 million.
Meng Xinyin took a breath of fresh air readily. She never thought Yan Chu, just a third-year university student, could design a game program with a price of up to millions. He was even better than everyone thought.
What to do? In contrast to Yan Chu, she was just a little sponger waiting to die. She felt she was not to be good enough for him.
“I’m going to open a small company for the rest of my money. Don’t worry, Yinyin. I’ll be a man worthy of you. The current mockery of your classmates will envy you in the future. You’ve found the most powerful and loving man in the world, your man.” Yan Chu looked at Meng Xinyin affectionately, as if she were his whole world.
Obviously did not drink, but Meng Xinyin’s face was red, and her heart was beating like a drum. She felt that she was about to get intoxicated.
