CHAPTER 35: CHAPTER 35: SO MANY CHEAP SCUMBAG COUSINS!

Lan Yingjun choked.

He prided himself as the eldest son of the Lan Family and the most outstanding among the younger generation of the Nalan Family’s collateral branch. Apart from Mr. Nalan, who was a generation older and could be his little uncle, he had never conceded to anyone.

Even at a place like the Imperial University, where talents were abundant, he could still be among the best and the undisputed choice for the Student Union President.

Academically, he was also a top student in the academy!

But now, in the eyes of this ugly waste, what was he, an anonymous "thing"?

Such an arrogant and conceited look, he had only seen in one woman before.

Only that woman had the right to so disdainfully and doubtingly challenge others’ abilities.

Unfortunately, that woman who often made him feel pressured, who made him feel there was no joy in being a man, and was uncontrollable, was already... dead.

Thinking about Qin Xin’s death, Lan Yingjun’s Adam’s apple bobbed, and his feelings were complicated.

He looked serious and addressed the person: "Lan Qingxin, why are you so disrespectful? In terms of seniority, I am your distant cousin, and I am kindly helping you with your studies. What is this attitude?"

Distant cousin?

She really had a lot of these cheap, crappy brothers.

Qin Xin’s lips curled mockingly: "Kindly helping? So you’re not charging for tutoring?"

Lan Yingjun choked again, his expression was about to break, barely maintaining his composure: "Of course not, talking about money is insulting to me..."

Xiangxiang quietly interjected: "Little Miss, Young Master Jue said if Senior Yingjun doesn’t tutor you properly, and your average end-term score doesn’t reach 60, all investments in Senior Yingjun will be withdrawn."

Although Xiangxiang spoke quietly, it was just loud enough for Lan Yingjun to hear clearly.

This embarrassed Lan Yingjun so much, his face was unable to keep its composure.

Qin Xin understood and sneered: "So that’s what you call not talking about money. You really insult money."

Lan Yingjun, you’re still the same as before, outwardly refined, but full of calculation inside.

That small, broken pharmaceutical company of Lan Yingjun’s, didn’t she know if it weren’t for the investors’ money, it would have collapsed long ago.

But he was very nervous about that company, investing all his energy into it, as if anxious to prove something.

Stuck by Lan Qingxin’s few sharp words, Lan Yingjun blushed with embarrassment.

This country girl raised by Young Master Jue has quite the sharp tongue!

No wonder even the old professor was driven away in anger.

He held back, tried to calm his tone, and maintain the demeanor of a refined young man, "Qingxin, don’t throw a childish tantrum. Money isn’t important, as long as you can pass at the end of the term, I’ll have an explanation for your brother."

Heh.

Qin Xin let out two cold laughs.

Lan Yingjun really spoke beautifully!

If it were before, she might also have been deceived by this refined young man’s demeanor.

But now, standing from a third-person perspective, she could see his hypocrisy so clearly!

Clearly, for the investors’ money, how could he speak so nobly?

Since he valued money so much...

Fine.

Let it be as he wishes!

"When is the class?" Qin Xin said indifferently.

Let him tutor, then conveniently fail the end-term to make sure not a penny is left for him from the investors!

"You agreed to the tutoring?" Lan Yingjun had no idea that the Lan Qingxin before him was actually Qin Xin. Seeing Lan Qingxin agree, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and quickly took out a stack of notes from his bag.

"These are the notes I borrowed from your classmates. Among the top ten first-year students, she ranks first among the girls and has detailed notes in all subjects. It’ll be a big help to you, so study them well first. For what you don’t understand, I’ll arrange time to explain in the next couple of days..."
