Chapter 167 You were always like this
Seeing his girlfriend's surprise, Chu Yunhui smiled and said, "Mengmeng, if you trust me, you have to trust my judgment of people. The four of us in the dorm have a real bond. I could ask Lao Lu to give me his G-Wagon and he wouldn't even blink."
Chu Yunhui knew that his girlfriend had a hard life in the past, and even her own mother hadn't cared much about her.
So he wanted his girlfriend to know that there are still people in this world who value feelings more than money. Of course, saying that Lu Ran would give him a G-Wagon was just pure boasting and exaggeration.
Old Lu isn't some multi-millionaire. Although the internet cafe makes millions in profit a year, this kid can make or lose money in the stock market. The G-Wagon is just a favor to Old Lu. What would Old Lu drive if he got it for free?
Even if his brother offered it to him, he wouldn't accept it.
Moreover, it seems that Lao Lu is still living in a single apartment that costs a few hundred yuan a month. The boss's place is not as good as his, and he must be having a lot of difficulties in life. Under such circumstances, he was given a raise and bonuses, which moved Lao Lu to tears.
"What do you mean, bro? You're really shameless."
Hearing that her boyfriend's brother had given him such high treatment, Yang Meng stopped commenting and didn't discuss the topic further.
Chu Yunhui hugged his girlfriend and said, "I'm your brother Hui. Come on, call me that."
Yang Meng blushed and glared at her boyfriend: "What, Ahui, you don't want to hear this?"
"I'd be happy to, but I'd also be happy to hear you call me Brother Hui."
"Hmph, pointless competitiveness."
Yang Meng gave a soft hum, then snuggled into her boyfriend's arms: "Brother Hui."
Although Hui Ge and Hui Gege only differed by one character, it made Chu Yunhui's blood boil instantly. He bent down, picked up his girlfriend, and ran to the bedroom.
"You haven't taken a shower yet."
"I had showered twice at an internet cafe before I came back."

The next day.
In the villa, Lu Ran woke up early and, as usual, received a status update from Cheng Ning.
[In the morning, after her daily exercise, Cheng Ning used a regular facial cleanser and face mask for her routine skincare. The skincare products were remarkably effective, allowing Cheng Ning's skin to maintain its current vitality.]
"You didn't sleep until 11:30 last night, why are you up so early today?"
Last night, Lu Ran received a notification that Cheng Ning was reading. In fact, he had always known that Cheng Ning was secretly reading and organizing company documents at night.
However, Lu Ran didn't point it out. The spirit attribute improves a person's mental state. Given his and Cheng Ning's current spirit values, plus their physical fitness, staying up a little later wouldn't be a problem.
To Lu Ran's surprise, Cheng Ning started waking up earlier and earlier.
After washing up, I went to the living room. Cheng Ning had just finished applying a face mask and was putting away her skincare products.
"Get up!"
Lu Ran said helplessly, "Didn't I tell you to buy something better? Save where you should, spend where you should. You're a CEO now, stop being so stingy with yourself!"
After unlocking the "Beauty and Skin Care Plan," Lu Ran mentioned to Cheng Ning that she should use face masks and other skincare products regularly. Cheng Ning had bought these things by herself yesterday.
How do you know if my purchase was good or not?
Cheng Ning was puzzled. Lu Ran hadn't even looked at her spending records, so how did he know that what she bought wasn't expensive?
Lu Ran really wanted to say, "I have real-time monitoring in my head."
But obviously, this is something that can't be said; even if it were said, Cheng Ning probably wouldn't believe it.
"I could tell it was pretty ordinary just by looking at the packaging."
"But I felt great after using it. I've used it before, but it never felt as good as this one. It means this store sells good products that are cheap and practical."
Cheng Ning touched her face and spoke well of the skincare product's owner.
The reason is simple: the changes in her skin after applying the face mask today were something she had never experienced before, which meant she had found a treasure.
Lu Ran sat down next to Cheng Ning and casually put his arm around her waist.
"That's because your skin absorbs products well, it has nothing to do with skincare products. Tomorrow I'll have someone get you some really good stuff, you'll see once you use it, and I'll use it too."
"You're going to waste money again." Cheng Ning looked at him helplessly.
He explained earnestly, "No matter how good or expensive the skincare products are, they can't truly improve your skin. At most, they can only preserve some of your skin's activity. Human aging is irreversible, and skincare is more of a psychological effect."
"Unless there is a genetic mutation, your cells can continuously absorb external nutrients and achieve reverse aging, but that is impossible."
Lu Ran laughed and said, "You know quite a lot."
Cheng Ning smiled: "I read a lot..."
Overwhelmed by the praise, she became carried away and realized she had let something slip. She quickly shut up and dared not say anything more.
But it was too late; the truth had already been revealed.
Cheng Ning carefully observed Lu Ran, her expression quite adorable.
Lu Ran couldn't resist teasing him, so he deliberately put on a cold face and said, "Hmph, I knew you weren't sleeping well and had been secretly buying books. You thought I didn't know?"
"I, I didn't!"
"Really not? Then let's go to your room and see how many books you've hidden."
"Don't."
Cheng Ning panicked and grabbed Lu Ran's hand with a pitiful expression.
Lu Ran coughed and said, "I'm very angry. What do you suggest we do?"
"sorry."
"An apology won't do you any good; you need to be punished."
Cheng Ning was a little scared: "What kind of punishment?"
As they were talking, Lu Ran reached out and pinched her cheek.
"Okay, I was just kidding. You can read whatever you like, just make sure you get enough rest."
Cheng Ning blinked and weakly said "Oh".
Lu Ran asked curiously, "Why do I get the feeling that you seem disappointed?"
No, not at all.
"I'm going to make breakfast."
Cheng Ning stammered, afraid of arousing suspicion, and quickly got up and left.
She was indeed a little disappointed. She thought that the punishment Lu Ran mentioned would be something like that, but it turned out to be just a pinch on her cheek.
While making breakfast, Cheng Ning's mind wandered for the first time.
I stirred the rice in the pot with a spoon until it turned into a paste.
He would touch his face from time to time, looking preoccupied.
"It's going to burn."
"Oh, ah!"
It wasn't until Lu Ran came up behind her and reminded her that Cheng Ning came to her senses, blushing and hurriedly turning off the power.
"Is something on your mind?"
Lu Ran vaguely felt that he hadn't handled some details well, but he couldn't figure out exactly what it was. However, he was certain of one thing: Cheng Ning's current state was definitely because of him.
"I... I didn't." Cheng Ning avoided Lu Ran's gaze.
"Still saying you don't? Do you think I'm stupid?!"
"You always were."
"Hey?"
"I... I wasn't talking about you." Cheng Ning was still angry, so she went along with what was being said and made a sarcastic remark, but she quickly backed down.
Lu Ran grabbed her hand: "Are you going to tell me or not? If you don't, I'll tickle you."
Under Lu Ran's coercion, Cheng Ning finally said in a pitiful voice, "You... do you dislike me?"
As Cheng Ning said this, she was a little scared. She hadn't wanted to ask, because she was afraid of hearing an answer she couldn't accept.
But Lu Ran kept pressing her for answers, and she blurted out her question out of frustration.
