Chapter 401: Should I Give You My Heart?

Su Yang texted. ‘Are you there?’

Xu Lu bit her lips and thought about it, then she typed “Yes” but quickly deleted it. ‘That’s such a cold reply.’

She typed “Here I am” but quickly deleted it yet again because she felt that this was too flattering. ‘Girls shouldn’t be so direct in their approach.’

Therefore, she thought about it for a long time before finally typing. ‘I’m here whenever you miss me.’

Xu Lu happily clicked [Send] after looking at her reply on the phone screen.

‘F*ck not being direct! I’m not that conservative!

‘I’m the Sun that’s going to shine right through your heart!’

Su Yang received Xu Lu’s reply not long after he sent her the message. He did not expect for Xu Lu to be so direct. He thought for a while and sent a smiling emoji before changing the topic. ‘Have you had breakfast?’

Xu Lu asked in return. ‘No. So… are you going to buy me breakfast?’

Su Yang was speechless.

‘Forget it. I can’t seem to keep up with this woman’s thoughts.’

At that thought, Su Yang clicked on [Voice Call].

As she received Su Yang’s phone call, Xu Lu panicked a little. Although she was naked at that moment, she still felt like she would be exposed if she answered the call. She quickly covered herself with the blanket and answered the call. Su Yang’s voice could be heard from the other end. “Xu Lu, I just wanted to ask you, do you still remember Wang Shan?”

‘Wang Shan?’ Xu Lu was stunned. ‘Why is he suddenly mentioning her?’

However, Xu Lu still said, “Yes, I remember.”

This time, it was Su Yang’s turn to be confused.

‘She remembers…

‘So it looks like I was really overthinking things. The [Burning Reincarnation Circus] doesn’t erase fate.

‘Could there be another explanation for erasing someone’s fate?

‘Could fate mean “death”?

‘That’s the only logical explanation…

‘In that case, I’ve really over-thought things already.’

After confirming his guess, Su Yang did not intend to continue the conversation and said, “Alright. Thank you, Xu Lu.”

Xu Lu was confused by Su Yang’s sudden change in topic.

She asked, “Su Yang, don’t you have anything else to say?”

Su Yang was stunned for a moment. He felt that he was being too “realistic”. ‘It really isn’t that appropriate to discard someone after utilizing them.’

So he said, “Oh… right. There’s something else. It’s a nice day today, Xu Lu…”

Xu Lu was confused.

‘Su Yang can’t have called me for something so simple. After all, who would call specifically to ask about a dead person?

‘Furthermore, he was asking me if I remembered that dead person. That’s really strange!

‘Something’s definitely going on that I’m unaware of.

‘Is it possible that… Su Yang wants to ask me out?’

With that thought in mind, Xu Lu probed, “You’re right, the weather’s rather nice today. So… would you like to hang out together?”

Su Yang recalled his appointment with the bank manager and rejected, “I’ll have to take a rain check on that, Xu Lu. I might have other matters to attend to here.”

Then, Su Yang said, “If there’s nothing else, I’ll be hanging up now.”

Xu Lu was speechless.

‘I feel like I’m the one who’s actually looking to talk to him, it seems like he just can’t wait to shake me off!’

She racked her brains, trying to think of a way to make Su Yang stay on the line.

After thinking for two seconds, her eyes lit up. ‘That’s right, stocks.’

She said, “I don’t think I have the talent for earning money, Su Yang.”

Su Yang asked curiously, “Why do you say that? Didn’t you follow my instructions and earned a few thousand yuan from buying stocks?”

Seeing that Su Yang had taken the initiative to bring up the stock, Xu Lu immediately added, “I… I… I was a little greedy and held onto the stock until Monday. Who knew that… it would end up hitting its limit down price.”

Su Yang was shocked. “It hit its limit down price?”

Xu Lu pretended to be weak as she sniffed and nodded. “That’s right. Plus, it happened for 2 days in a row. I only managed to escape on the third day and ended up losing 1,500 yuan more.”

Su Yang was speechless.

‘Little Hus’s nose is really accurate.

‘He’s actually able to smell it so clearly. It’s really able to predict when exactly would the stock price reach its highest limit! It’s actually able to be so accurate to the day itself!

‘Hold on, hold on. Why am I being distracted? I shouldn’t be shocked at Little Hus’s abilities now, I should be consoling Xu Lu!’

With that thought in mind, Su Yang replied, “It’s fine. 1,500 yuan isn’t much. When I get another good chance, I’ll let you know again.”

Xu Lu stopped her act immediately and said in excitement, “Are you being serious?”

Su Yang replied, “Of course I am.”

It was a piece of cake for Su Yang. After all, the money was not his and Xu Lu’s money was too little to even cause an impact to the stock price. Hence, he would help her out with investing in stocks.

After receiving Su Yang’s promise, Xu Lu was touched and said to Su Yang, “Su Yang, you’re so kind to me, I don’t know how I could ever repay you. How about… I give you my heart in return?”

Su Yang was speechless.

‘Girl, now you’re going too far

‘I’m being kind enough to help you invest in stocks, yet you’re actually after my body!

‘Despicable!’

Su Yang quickly said, “It’s nothing worth mentioning, we’re friends after all. As for giving your heart, I don’t think that’s necessary.”

Xu Lu was obviously testing Su Yang. When she heard Su Yang’s reply, she smiled brightly. “Fine, since you aren’t interested in me, I suppose it’ll be fine for me to treat you to a meal, right?”

What else could Su Yang say now that Xu Lu has said that?

He could only find a reason to refuse…

Su Yang hung up the phone panically and wiped the cold sweat off his forehead. ‘A handsome single guy should be extra careful of himself when he’s alone!

‘This world was too dangerous. There are girls who have their eyes fixated on me everywhere!

‘This is too much!’

On the other hand, Xu Lu was not embarrassed at all by Su Yang’s rejection. She merely smiled smugly because she felt that Su Yang’s feelings for her were slowly changing as she teased him.

In fact, she really did look down on those girls who would spend countless years with the guy she liked and accompany him silently without expecting anything in return.

‘If you like the guy, fight for him!

‘We live in an era of gender equality! Why should it be restricted to a guy to woo a girl!

‘Do you not have legs?

‘Can you not outrun him?

‘If you can’t outrun him, make him use up his energy and run again!

‘Women also have the right to pursue the person they love!

‘Moreover, you’re only spending your time with him as a friend. So even if he wanted to be in a relationship, you wouldn’t even make it into his list because you’re his friend!

‘This is a natural cycle.

‘How could there be so many movie plots where the guy suddenly realizes that the person next to him is the most beautiful and thoughtful girl!

‘Those are all made up stories!

‘Therefore, since I like him, I should be brave and pursue him, woo him!

‘When I say don’t be friends! I’m asking the guy to read between the lines which means I want to marry you!’

Just as she was thinking, her phone rang again. It was another call through WeChat.

Xu Lu picked it up and saw that it was her cousin’s.

She picked it up. “Hello? What’s wrong?”

Her cousin’s voice came through the receiver. “Lulu! Are you sure you’re not pulling my leg? Is your scammer junior really that great?”

Xu Lu was speechless.

“He really isn’t a scammer. He came from the countryside at a young age and single-handedly founded several companies. He’s really smart, ambitious and he’s definitely not a nerd who only knows how to bury his head in books!”

Her cousin was stunned by Xu Lu’s agitated reaction. After a while, she said, “Then, does he really not know the person involved in manipulating the stock market? If he doesn’t, how could he possibly obtain any inside information?”

Then, she added suspiciously, “Even if he has any insider information, he shouldn’t be able to obtain such clear cut information, right? Such information is definitely highly confidential information for all companies.”

“Furthermore, the situation in stock markets is constantly changing that even those companies aren’t sure if everything will follow as per their plans. So, how could he possibly know so much?”

Xu Lu did not understand these things at all. Hence, she could only say, “I don’t know either, but that’s what he said to me and everything he said was accurate.”

“Furthermore, the reason I trusted him was because he sent me a screenshot of his stock. He had 5 to 6 million yuan and all of it was in Zhang Bang Science and Technology. I’m not an idiot.”

Her cousin retorted, “Those screenshots can be faked. If you aren’t a fool, how could you have lost money?”

However, after saying that, she remembered that Xu Lu had lost money entirely because of her, so she paused and said, “Lulu, I don’t think this matter is as simple as you think.”

This time, Xu Lu was completely unconvinced. She said, “I’m telling you, he’s a really good person, he wouldn’t lie to me. In fact, he called me just now and said that he would continue to invest with me.”

When her cousin heard what she said, she felt that Xu Lu was like a moth to a flame.

‘Could there really be such inside information? Also, is it possible for it to be leaked so easily?

‘Could that junior be setting Xu Lu up on purpose?’

Her cousin suddenly recalled a rumor that she had once heard about a scam. ‘Some con men would research stocks in advance and scour for some stocks that would rise. After that, they would pull in a large number of investors.

‘Then, they will divide the users into groups and inform them of the various stocks that will rise.

‘Normally, at least half of the stock would rise, which meant that half of the investors would receive accurate information.

‘The next day, the investors who received the accurate notification would be split into groups again and they will continue to receive another set of stocks that would rise.

‘As the process continued, there would be a stream of investors who would be able to receive accurate information for a few days consecutively. Thus, these investors would then completely trust said con men.

‘Then, the con men could charge these users for membership fees in order for them to buy more information.

‘However, there was no such thing as obtaining more information, it was merely just splitting up the investors into different groups for them to purchase certain stocks.

‘As long as there were enough users, there would always be people who would continue to be deceived.

‘Furthermore, these were con men with a conscience. Some con men would contact some other minor investors to raise the stock price and then they would get their own pool of investors to take over the stock from the minor investors. That way, the minor investors would be able to grab the opportunity to sell off their shares and the con men themselves would gain a high commission from it.’

At that thought, her cousin could not sit still anymore…

‘This is a serious matter, and has to be taken seriously. I can’t bear to watch Xu Lu delve deeper into the abyss!

…

Of course, Su Yang did not know that Xu Lu and her cousin would have so many psychological activities. Not long after he hung up the call, Wang Dong returned to the office and said that the manager of the credit department would be available in the afternoon and could have lunch together.

‘Whether or not my Silver mission can be completed depends on this!’
