Gasp! She's a Time Traveler Using Modern Tech to Improve Ancient Life-Chapter 487 - 485: Thought She Was a Sucker

For a guy like Wang Bocheng who is more about the physical than the emotional, Lu Shouyue has a certain admiration. At least he never loses sleep or gets heartbroken over women, and none of Wang Bocheng’s ex-girlfriends complain about his playboy ways. Everyone gets what they need, how great is that.

"Hey, Professor Lu, what a coincidence."

Just as these thoughts crossed his mind, a charming voice pierced through the hazy music of the bar and reached his ears.

Lu Shouyue looked up and saw the graceful Annie Wang descend from the dancefloor, like an elf, tumbling toward him.

Lu Shouyue swiftly steadied her with his eyes and hands, preventing her from falling into his arms.

He yielded his original seat to her, standing up and moving to another sofa, creating some distance between them, and politely yet coldly nodded, "Hello, Miss Wang."

Annie Wang watched as Lu Shouyue shifted, her eyes turning mischievously, and she chuckled, "Professor Lu, are you still keeping it clean? You should let loose here and have fun! Come on, let’s have some fun together."

As she spoke, she reached out to pull Lu Shouyue, and Wang Bocheng, who’d noticed the commotion from the dancefloor, also shouted, "Lu, come join us! What’s the point of just sitting there!"

Today’s guest, the second princess of Feiniao Shoes, Annie Wang, was invited by Wang Bocheng.

A beauty like Annie Wang, with an angelic face and a devilish body, looking like she was ready to have fun, was just his type. He instantly broke up with his current girlfriend to pursue her, which was why he came from Hai City to Yongcheng today.

But clearly, her intentions were elsewhere.

For Wang Bocheng, the attraction was purely physical, and seeing her hitting on Lu Shouyue, a thought struck him, and he was willing to play matchmaker.

He couldn’t stand seeing Lu Shouyue being wholly dominated by a woman, as it would be embarrassing for his friend, who was a hopeless romantic.

A woman who accepted the blue diamond yet played coy had ambitions too big, in his opinion, not the right match for Lu Shouyue.

If she could control Lu Shouyue this tightly, then even in marriage, she’d be someone unwilling to sign a prenuptial agreement.

In families like theirs, even in an alliance of equals, it’s wise to sign a prenuptial agreement to avoid risks.

So, any other woman approaching Lu Shouyue was a welcome sight for Wang Bocheng.

Based on Annie Wang’s skills, Wang Bocheng was certain that as long as Lu Shouyue spent a night with her, he’d be hooked. Wang Bocheng, with his extensive experience with women, could tell at a glance.

A man who had indulged before and one who hadn’t have completely different ways of looking at women.

By then, Lu Shouyue’s romantic tendencies might be cured on their own.

Wang Bocheng was, in a sense, sacrificing his love for his friend.

At this moment, Annie Wang tried to pull Lu Shouyue again, but failed, blocked once more by him, "Sorry, I’m not interested."

"Oh wow! Professor Lu, you’re so funny. Since you’re not up for dancing, how about I keep you company for a chat?"

Annie Wang truly knew how to flirt, whether through chance encounters or social media, or with today’s elfin embrace and coy whispers, everything was perfectly timed.

If Lu Shouyue had been an ordinary man, he probably would have already been entangled with her, igniting passion.

After all, Annie Wang had both family background and looks going for her, and when she took the initiative, few men could resist.

But Lu Shouyue had grown up with countless women of all shapes and sizes throwing themselves at him, yet he just didn’t fancy them.

That’s just how he was, uninterested in those who came to him, only liking to take initiative himself. When he found someone he was attracted to, he’d make the first move. Even if he couldn’t succeed at first, he would never settle for less than what he wanted.

Seeing him unmoved, Wang Bocheng got frustrated, directly coming over to grab Lu Shouyue, forcing him into the dance floor, insisting they join in the fun.

While Lu Shouyue was in the middle of partying, Lin Wanwan, who had just finished her modern tasks and intended to return to the Great Tang, stopped in her tracks by the sound of the doorbell in the courtyard.

"Strange, it’s already past nine at night, who’s coming to see me?" Lin Wanwan flicked her hand, closed the Space-Time Gate, turned on the lights, and went downstairs, first checking the surveillance to see who was at the door. She discovered it was a distant relative from the clan, who ran a small shop over in the high-rise area of the neighborhood.

What do they want with her?

Lin Wanwan walked into the courtyard to open the door, and it was the elderly couple from the shop, carrying a plastic bag of apples.

"Wanwan, you haven’t gone to bed yet, have you?"

Lin Wanwan let them in, "Grandpa and Grandma, coming over so late, is there something you need?"

The elderly couple engaged in some small talk, first praising Lin Wanwan’s grandparents for raising her well, then commenting on her impressive achievements. After settling down on Lin Wanwan’s sofa and taking a sip of tea, they finally revealed the purpose of their late-night visit—borrowing money.

That’s right, their only commercial property had been mortgaged again by their reckless son, for 2.3 million. If they couldn’t repay, they’d face lawsuits. Now they were being harassed daily by loan sharks, driving the couple to their wits’ end.

A few days ago, they attended Lin Wanwan’s celebration banquet and heard from their son that the necklace Lin Wanwan wore that day reportedly cost billions! They found it unbelievable just hearing about it!

For such an ultra-rich person, even a slight slip through their fingers would be enough to resolve their survival crisis, and so they came, thick-skinned.

After all, they were from the same clan; even if their relationship was distant, they shared the same ancestral roots. When someone prospers, they should help their struggling kin.

Lin Wanwan was stunned when she heard them start by asking for money, and such a large sum at that.

For an average family, borrowing 30,000 to 50,000 was hard enough. What were they thinking, asking for a seven-figure loan right at the start?

Their relationship was just enough to attend a family celebration, with no regular contact. Yet, they dared to ask. Lin Wanwan wouldn’t even lend to her uncle Lin Zhantian’s family, let alone to such relatives.

The saying goes, only lend emergency aid, not constant support. Lin Wanwan wasn’t running a charity. Their son’s lack of ability, love of squandering, having exhausted all the compensation and property from their relocation, not to mention now being a defaulter.

And yet, the old couple was still swayed by their son to mortgage their vital commercial property. If they couldn’t see clearly themselves, how could others help?

"Grandpa, Grandma, it’s not that I don’t want to lend, but 2.3 million is no small sum. I can’t come up with that much! The money I earned since graduation has just gone into the house payment and renovations, I’m really at a loss, sorry."

The elderly couple’s faces turned ashen upon hearing Lin Wanwan’s words. They were indeed anxious before coming over but did their background check.

Online reports said that Lin Wanwan’s necklace was worth tens of millions of US dollars.

These internet celebrity-status individuals earn hundreds of thousands a day, with live streams raking in donations and money as easily as finding it lying on the ground. Now that their family was truly in trouble, and they came for help, she still refused.

Despite being from the same clan, she was being so heartless, no wonder even her parents and loved ones were all gone.
