Ulterior motives
The news that He Qingwan wanted to buy the amusement park quickly made its way to the ears of the other two bigshots.
The next day after school, when Su Tian returned home for dinner, the four of them gathered to talk.
Liu Kaiyan asked, “Buying such a large piece of land, is it to sell it at a higher price in the future, or is it to hold on to it to use it?”
Su Tian and Xi Yun: “We want to build the largest and most fun amusement park in the world!”
Of course it wouldn’t be sold again.
Liu Kaiyan: “…”
He remembered. The last time they went to the amusement park, he had heard the two of them talking.
Liu Kaiyan: “I heard from Auntie that the funds seem a bit tight. I still have the 70,000 dollar manuscript fee…”
Before Liu Kaiyan could finish speaking, You Pinyan proudly thumped her chest. “No money? Why didn’t you tell me you had no money? I have money!”
Now that she was in possession of Elder You’s credit card, the Young Miss’s pockets were much fatter.
Su Tian: “Liu Kaiyan, you can’t touch your money. You need to keep it for publishing. And we’re not short by much.”
Liu Kaiyan pursed his lips and didn’t insist, only saying, “When you need money in the future, you have to tell me.”
Su Tian nodded before turning to You Pinyan. “You need to save your money for building the aquarium, remember?”
When the Young Miss heard that–oh, that’s right, she still needed to save that money for the aquarium.
She asked, “Is there still land for sale near the amusement park? I’ll buy it and build the aquarium next to the amusement park.”
Xi Yun raised a hand. “Then we can sell joint tickets for the amusement park and aquarium.”
The group laughed and took turns pinching his face.
What the Little Money-Grubber–that’s not right–the God of Wealth said was very suitable.
If 《Kaka》 could become a hit, or if Liu Kaiyan’s manhua became popular in the future, it was completely possible to develop both land and sea. At that time, they could sell double-admission passes.
Imagining the scene of banknotes fluttering around them, everyone felt quite satisfied.
The Zhang family’s payment deadline was approaching, and the contract needed to be signed before the final repayment date. The money was set, so after He Qingwan decided to buy the amusement park, she quickly settled on an appointment to sign the contract with Zhang jie that very weekend.
Just a few days after everyone came back from Didu, they made yet another trip.
When school ended at noon on Saturday, Su Tian, Liu Kaiyan, and Wang Haoxue returned home together.
When Wang Haoxue heard from Su Tian that He Qingwan was buying a storefront in Didu, she was very worried. “Tiantian, you won’t live in Didu and not come back, will you?”
Su Tian: “I won’t, but once I go to college, I probably won’t come back.”
Before Wang Haoxue had time to be happy, she suddenly realized–they were already in their second year of high school. Soon, they would be going their separate ways.
But… she couldn’t bear to part with Tiantian.
Su Tian: “So you have to study hard and come with me to Didu University. That way we can continue to play together.”
Wang Haoxue nodded. “Okay!”
There was no way she could go to the same school as Su Tian, but if it was the same city… she still had some hope.
Liu Kaiyan followed behind them. Listening to the two girls chattering, his mood was like a little bird, flying around in the sky.
A tall and thin figure suddenly appeared in his peripheral vision. Liu Kaiyan’s gaze converged on the youth standing in front of them.
This was the boy they saw at the skewer shop last time.
It seemed to be a natural rejection of the same kind that was instinctively telling him he didn’t like the other party.
He could smell on this youth’s body an obsession even stronger than his own.
Liu Kaiyan quickened his pace until he was diagonally in front of Su Tian, blocking the person’s line of sight from falling on her and also cutting off the possibility of Su Tian discovering the other party.
In fact, he didn’t need to do all this; even if Su Tian saw him, she wouldn’t have bothered to pay attention.
Did she have to go up to every person who saw her and ask them who they were?
Wouldn’t she tire herself to death?
But this time, the youth didn’t watch from afar like before and actually stepped forward.
He directly went up to Su Tian, blocking her.
The three friends stopped.
Liu Kaiyan’s gaze held some hostility.
Wang Haoxue’s eyes brightened up like lightbulbs. She leaned closer to Su Tian’s ear, whispering, “This is the third time I’ve seen him. Does he like you?”
There was an irrepressible excitement in her words.
Su Tian looked as though she hadn’t heard it. She looked at the youth and asked softly, “Excuse me, did you need something?”
The youth’s gaze was profound. He answered in a low voice, “We’ve met before.”
Su Tian: “…”
They have? Why didn’t she remember.
The youth explained: “The first time was in the aquarium.”
Su Tian: “… And then?”
The youth pursed his lower lip and continued: “And also at the entrance of the police station.”
Su Tian was taken aback. Her gaze fell on the young man’s clean, smooth jaw and beautifully shaped lips. It suddenly dawned on her–this was the person she’d accidentally bumped into.
But why was he blocking their way?
The boy’s lips moved slightly, as though he wanted to say something, but he was suddenly interrupted by Su Tian’s phone ringing.
Su Tian excused herself and answered the phone. It was He Qingwan calling.
He Qingwan: “Tiantian, is school over?”
Su Tian: “School is over. We’re on the way.”
He Qingwan: “Come back soon. Chief Ji is going back to Didu, so he can give us a ride. “Hurry, everyone is waiting downstairs.”
Su Tian hurriedly answered, “Okay, we’ll go back right now.”
After hanging up, she quickly apologized to the youth and pulled Liu Kaiyan and Wang Haoxue to leave.
The youth stood there, watching the three people’s walk turn into a jog, their figures quickly disappearing into the crowd.
He watched until he couldn’t see them anymore before lowering his head with a light smile.
Very good, he got to talk to her.
However, the youth’s gaze quickly grew more profound.
How annoying. She was holding those two people’s hands.
