However, Zhang Yan ignored everything, walked straight out of the mall, hailed a taxi, and headed directly to Xueshan Venture Capital.

At the same time, Zhang Yan was also thinking to himself. It seemed like he really needed to buy a car when he had time. Otherwise, always having to take taxis was somewhat inconvenient.

After Zhang Yan left, Sun Min and Li Chuchu also walked out of the mall.

Both of them looked completely incredulous, especially Sun Min. After a long while, she stammered, "Daughter, why do I feel like that person just now wasn't Zhang Yan?"

"How much money did he spend today...?"

"That was definitely Zhang Yan!" Li Chuchu had no doubt about her eyes. "I just don't understand why he has so much money and bought so many things."

Sun Min was almost doubting reality. "Yeah, how could he possibly be so rich?"

"Could it be that he was pretending to be poor all along? I've seen plenty of TV dramas with this kind of plot—a rich young master pretends to be poor just to test if his girlfriend is only with him for his money..."

"Hiss... Could Zhang Yan really be some rich young master? And we failed his test, so he just went back to his wealthy lifestyle?"

Sun Min had always thought such plots were utterly ridiculous.

But everything in front of her now made her have no choice but to believe that Zhang Yan might really be such a person.

Li Chuchu had considered this possibility too, but she had been with Zhang Yan for three years. If he were truly some rich young master, there was no way he wouldn't have slipped up even once in all that time.

She had even been to his hometown and his workplace. There was no doubt that Zhang Yan was just a poor boy from a rural town trying to make it in the big city.

How could he suddenly transform into a wealthy and successful man in just one day?

"No, no..." Li Chuchu shook her head repeatedly, suddenly thinking of another possibility. "Mom, do you think Zhang Yan knew we were here, so he deliberately staged this whole act?"

"You mean, he didn't actually buy those things, and the store employees were just paid actors to make us believe he's rich?" Sun Min asked.

Li Chuchu nodded and said, "I can't think of any other explanation."

"Then why would he do that?" Sun Min found it a bit far-fetched.

Li Chuchu thought for a moment and said, "Maybe he wants to win me back?"

"He spent a lot of money putting on this act in front of us just to make me think he's actually rich, so that I'd regret what I did and beg him to take me back..."

As she spoke, Li Chuchu's voice trailed off.

Because she realized how ridiculous her own theory sounded.

From the way Zhang Yan had rejected her so decisively before, even if all of this was an act, his purpose was probably just to show her that he was doing much better without her.

Was Zhang Yan's previous image of a poor man fake, or was his current image of a rich man fake? Li Chuchu and Sun Min had no way to tell.

Suddenly, Li Chuchu had an idea. "I know what to do!"

"I've been to Zhang Yan's company before. Tomorrow morning, I'll go to Youxia Games to check things out. That should clear everything up, right?"

Hearing this, Sun Min immediately nodded. "That's right! If Zhang Yan really is rich, there's no way he would still be working at a company. He'd have to be the boss of a big company, at least!"

"Daughter, if you see Zhang Yan working miserably at his company tomorrow, go up and slap him in the face for acting all high and mighty in front of us!"

"While you're at it, tell everyone at his company what happened today. Let him embarrass himself so badly that he won't even have the face to keep working there!"

Sun Min was truly spiteful. If she found out that Zhang Yan had tricked her, making her anxious all morning, she would definitely want revenge.

Li Chuchu didn't have such a strong desire for revenge, but she really wanted to figure out what was going on with Zhang Yan.

...

Soon, Zhang Yan arrived at Xueshan Venture Capital.

Xueshan Venture Capital was a large-scale company. Before coming, Zhang Yan had specifically looked up information about it and found that it was the biggest venture capital firm in Haicheng. It specialized in venture investments and was also involved in other industries like stock trading and foreign exchange.

In short, it was a company that made money by investing money.

As the largest venture capital firm in Haicheng, Xueshan Venture Capital had a market value of three billion.

Zhang Yan had never expected that Shen Qing, after graduating, would be working at such a major company. No wonder she was driving a Lamborghini when they met.
