This Girl Wins Three Hundred Million Dollars
Chapter 72

The scar from the shoulder surgery had nearly faded away. After applying a layer of tinted moisturizer it became invisible. Yu Shu happily put on a black spaghetti strap dress and went out. The dress had a lace cutout at the waist, giving glimpses of her petite waist, which was even more alluring than being completely bare.

It was worth sweating buckets at the gym for the past months. Now she had an perky bottom and abs too.

Just looking at this devilish figure turned herself on.

When choosing accessories, she picked the bejeweled snake bracelet Shen Youlin gave her, it went perfectly with today's outfit.

After putting on makeup and a coat, she headed out. Shen Youlin was in the kitchen pestering the housekeeper to make him beef noodles, still wearing his cartoon pajamas.

Dou'e was sitting at the kitchen door waiting to eat boiled beef. When Yu Shu came out of the bedroom, Dou'e pattered over to snuggle up to her. Yu Shu patted its head gently, afraid its fur would get on her clothes. S~ᴇaʀᴄh the N0vᴇlFire(.)nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.

Shen Youlin looked her up and down: "Aren't you going to class today? Why are you dressed like a country girl visiting a factory?"

Yu Shu said to the housekeeper: "Auntie, add some toilet bowl cleaner in his beef noodles."

The housekeeper just smiled without responding, and added two big spoonfuls of beef to the noodle bowl.

"Humph, auntie likes me, she won't bother with you. Where are you going? Not eating breakfast?" Shen Youlin asked Yu Shu, who was changing shoes at the door.

"Already ate, not everyone's a human-shaped dummy like you - asleep until sunset." Yu Shu finished changing her shoes. "Oh right, if you're free tonight then come pick me up. Today is the last securities class, the teacher is treating us to dinner, there will definitely be drinks and I won't drive."

Shen Youlin turned his face away, holding the big bowl of noodles. "Humph, I'm not free. Just take a taxi yourself."

Call me later! Why ask me now, as if I’m dying to pick you up.

Yu Shu ignored him and walked out the door with a cold snort.

With my drop dead gorgeous looks today, there will definitely be a male classmate to give me a ride. Making it sound like I’m desperately wanting you to pick me up.

The housekeeper fed Dou'e while saying: “Don’t worry, little Shu looks so good today, there will definitely be a boy classmate sending her home tonight.”

Shen Youlin: "......"

Li Yue had asked Yu Shu out twice before, once for dinner, once to see a movie, but was tactfully rejected both times. After that Li Yue gave up, and they interacted just as normal teacher and student.

That night, after dinner everyone was still energetic and kept clamoring to go to a bar.

Yu Shu had been learning jazz dance for a few months. Although she had just grasped the basics, it was more than enough to shine on the dance floor. All eyes were on her.

In the past she would subconsciously avoid people's gazes, later she would be elated by the amazement and envy in their eyes. But now, she no longer cared how others saw her. She would just enjoy herself.

After dancing up a storm, Yu Shu went back to rest at their booth. Her classmates kept plying her with drinks and pulling her into games, trying to get closer to her.

Everyone was quite uninhibited from the alcohol. Usual nodding acquaintances were now sworn brothers.

Yu Shu happily went along with their antics. She kept winning game after game with outrageous luck - dice, roulette, cards - never losing once, spurring on her classmates’ competitiveness.

In the end, Yu Shu single-handedly defeated the entire venue.

She looked at Li Yue, the only other sober one left, with innocent helplessness. Li Yue gave a wry smile and called the waiter over to settle their tab.

It was pouring heavily outside. With how late it was, cabs would be hard to come by. After much effort, Li Yue and Yu Shu finally poured all their classmates into cars headed home, leaving just the two of them behind.

Li Yue looked at his phone. “Cheng Yu’s driver is coming to get us. I’ll send you back first.”

Cheng Yu was the boss of their training center. Yu Shu had met him once and knew they were longtime friends.

“OK, thanks Li-ge.”

Yu Shu also opened her phone and saw a WeChat message from Shen Youlin, asking where she was. Saying he had just sent the housekeeper home and could “swing by” to pick her up.

It was sent three and a half hours ago.

Yu Shu curled her lip and threw her phone back in her bag without replying.

"The car is here, let’s go.”

Yu Shu nodded. “OK.”

Li Yue held the umbrella over and leaned towards her when getting in the car, shielding her from the rain. His shoulder on the other side was completely drenched.

In the apartment building's first floor lobby, Shen Youlin paced around holding Dou'e's leash, going out then coming back in, heading to the underground parking garage then back upstairs with the dog.

He was like a child with ADHD. The staff could only look at him with a headache.

Yet again Shen Youlin came to the entrance holding Dou’e’s leash, uncaring of the rain soaking into him as he squatted in the corner. He ruffled Dou’e’s slightly damp fur: “Should I call her or not?”

“Will she get full of herself if I do?”

“OK Dou'e you impotent dog, one bark means I should call her, two barks means don’t. Go on, bark away——”

Dou'e stared at him blankly, blinked once, then turned his head away - unable to watch this cringe fest.

“Hey! Don’t you give me attitude! That’s why you’ll always be an impotent dog, never the head housekeeper...”

“Woof!” Dou'e barked up at him.

“You barked, that means you said to call her. Wasn’t my idea.” Shen Youlin took out his phone and happily dialed Yu Shu.

When she picked up, his tone was arrogant. “Where are you? Bring me a late night snack on your way back.”

Just say you can’t get a taxi, and I might condescend to go get you.

Yu Shu endured, but finally couldn’t resist retorting: “Eat shit!”

She glanced at Li Yue next to her. “I’m usually very refined.”

Li Yue gave an understanding smile without comment.

Hearing who she was talking to, Shen Youlin deflated in relief. This old geezer was his dad’s age.

As they walked closer, Yu Shu asked “What are you doing here?”

Shen Youlin held up the dog leash. “Walking the dog.”

Dou'e barked: “Woof woof!”

“Thanks for today, Li-ge.”

“You’re welcome, goodbye.”

“Goodbye.” Yu Shu smiled and waved at his leaving figure.

The moment Li Yue left, Shen Youlin started snarking. “Ooh, Li-ge~ even calling him big brother! That old fart’s old enough to be your grandad!”

Yu Shu was too lazy to bother with Shen Youlin. She gave him the finger and headed towards the elevators.

Shen Youlin trailed behind, yakking nonstop. “No way, don’t tell me you’re into old geezers! Talk about teeth-breaking hardtack!”

“Let me tell you, drinking's fine, fighting's fine, but if you go eating bitterness in love, we can't be friends.”
