Power of Money

Chapter 18

Jason put out the cigarette butt in his hand hurriedly and ran to the bathroom to clean the blood on his nose.

When he came back, he saw Jenny lying on the bed in a relaxing posture. One of her stockings was taken off and thrown on the ground, and the other one was removed to the calf, and she fell asleep again.

"Wow, her legs are so beautiful..."

Jason felt that his moral guard was going to be beaten into by the devil in his mind. He hurriedly stepped forward, lifted the quilt on the head, and quickly covered Jenny.

"It's hot!"

Just as Jason straightened up and wanted to leave, suddenly, he felt something flashing in front of him. Then his neck was firmly tied, which made his feet went weak, and fell to the bed...

In the next few days, Jason did not return to school.

He was afraid of meeting Jenny, and didn't know how to explain to her.

So he had been hiding in St. De Hospital, sleeping in the daytime, and chatting with Cindy Liu in the evening.

It was not until Sunday afternoon that he changed his clothes and returned to the auditorium of the school to attend the 50th anniversary celebration of Nandu University.

The school leaders attached great importance to this event. It was said that they invited a group of leaders of the education hall. At that time, the popular actress Jessica Chan would come to sing.

Most importantly, the university required that every student present should sign their names. Those who didn't attend would get their credits deducted and the diploma would be suspended.

Jason was mixed in the crowd. As soon as he reached the entrance of the auditorium, he heard someone calling him behind.

"Jason Qin!"

His heart skipped a beat. When turned around, he saw Sherry Lin in a white dress walking toward him quickly.

"I haven't seen you in school these days. I thought you were not coming." Sherry stood in front of Jason with a smile.

"It's you."

Jason relieved a little.

At the same time, he was a little excited.

The dress Sherry wore was the one she wore two years ago when they first dated.

At that time, he was attracted by her,

and also joked that if he had money in the future, he would buy ten such dresses for Sherry, so that he could always remember her most beautiful appearance.

Two years later, things changed. When Sherry put on this dress again, she no longer belonged to Jason, but became Sean Chan's woman!

"What's the matter?"

Seeing Sherry looking at him with a smile, Jason asked in confusion.

"What’s wrong? Although we break up, can't I find you, even if there is nothing urgent? After all, we have been in love once. It's not like we can't even greet each other." Sherry pouted and said like a spoiled girl.

"Oh, if there's nothing else, I'll leave first."

Jason was in no mood to talk to her now. He turned around and was about to leave.

"Jason Qin, stop!"

Sherry suddenly raised her voice, which startled all the students who were rushing into the auditorium. They all cast their eyes on them.

"You want to leave?" Sherry said with a gloomy face.

She had thought that if she acted coquettishly and took the initiative to talk to Jason, he would definitely be grateful to her and ask her to make peace, and would satisfy her any request. But now it seemed that she had failed, which was unacceptable for her.

"What else can I do?" Jason was also unhappy.

"Well..."

Sherry looked at Jason and suddenly laughed in a low voice.

"I didn't expect you to be such a faithless man!"

"I treated you so sincerely. I don't care that you are poor, nor do I care that you never buy me a gift, and I even hand over my monthly living expenses to you, and we ate the cheapest roadside stall

together. When You were sick, I skipped class to take care of you at home. Even if you want to get a room at a hotel, it's my money to pay..."

"But what did I get? Knowing that I was pregnant, you didn't even say a word of comfort, but let me go to the black clinic to get rid of the child! Well, I listened to you. I went for miscarriage alone, but what about you! Before I recovered, you kicked me off like throwing garbage, and then went to find other women. I didn't blame you for all this, but why are you so bored of even meeting me now! I won't disturb your life. I just want to talk to you, and I can't!"

In the end, she was full of tears, and even her throat was hoarse. Then she squatted on the ground and hugged her head, crying bitterly. She was really like a woman who was abandoned by her boyfriend when pregnant. There was no trace of being pretending at all.

Even Jason almost believed that what she said was true.

But the students around him were the ones who got reacted .

Everyone turned their disdainful eyes to Jason.

"D*mn, there is really such a scum in our school?"

"He's more than a scum. He's the scum in society! The biggest shame of Nandu!"

"He looks quite honest. It really like the old saying goes, honest men are the most unreliable people. He can even do such a rubbish thing!"

The students were gabbling with each other.

Some boys were so outraged that they came up, grabbed Jason's collar, and raised their fists to punch him in the face.

Some girls gathered around Sherry and tried to comfort her, helping wipe her tears with tissues.

"Tell me, did you f*cking do all these?"

A strong boy pointed at Jason's nose and shouted angrily.

Jason was speechless.

He did not expect Sherry to use such a despicable method to deal with him, and what she said was not true at all.

But her performance was so good. The emotions of the students had been stirred. No matter how he explained, it was just in vain.

"Jason Qin, I just want to ask you a question, do you still love me or not?"

Sherry suddenly raised her head and looked at Jason with her swollen eyes.

"Do you really believe what she said?"

Looking at the boys around him who were so aggressive that even wanted to rush up and beat him, Jason frowned and said.

Snapped!

A clear and loud slap suddenly rang out in the crowd.

Everyone was stunned, and their eyes fell on the girl in sailor clothes who just appeared.

Sherry covered her face in shock and looked at Jenny, who was glaring at her.

"You, you dare to hit me?" She asked in a trembling voice full of disbelief.

"It's you I hit! I've seen many shameless people before, but I've never seen a person so shameless like you. It's you who dumped Jason and hooked up with Sean Chan for his fortune. Now you even accused Jason of being unfaithful to you and making you have a miscarriage? Where did you get the miscarriage? Dare you go to the black clinic with me and ask the doctor whether he recognized you or not, and was it a boy or a girl?"

Jenny put her hands on her hips and said all the words as if she was venting.

Jason stood behind her and shivered.

He was secretly glad that he hadn't shown up in school these days. Otherwise, he didn't know what horrible ending he would face.

Just as Sherry was at a loss, a figure suddenly rushed and helped her stand up from the ground.

"Whoever dares to hit my girlfriend, stand up. If I don't disable him today, I won't be surnamed Chan!"

Seeing Sean, Sherry plunged into his arms as if she had seen a life-saving straw.

"Honey, it's Jenny Huang. She beat me up. Revenge me! Kill this b*tch!"

"Jenny Huang?"

Sean turned his head, greedily glanced at Jenny's beautiful figure, and then laughed strangely.

"Well, well this couple of adulterers actually have the face to show up at school at the same time. Aren't you afraid that the thing between you and this gigolo will be known by the old man who kept you as a mistress? How can you raise this gigolo when your expense is cut off?"

After hearing Sean's words, everyone's eyes were fixed on Jenny.

"Really? Jenny Huang has been kept by someone as a mistress?"

"Oh, my God, even she is kept as a mistress. It's a total destruction of my worldviews!"

"Our my goddess, alas, sure enough, there is always a man behind every goddess you can't pursue."

Jenny didn't expect that Sean dared to slander her in front of so many people.

"You, you are talking nonsense!"

Jenny wanted to argue, but Sean held Sherry's arm and said with a smile, "Dear, let's not argue with him today. At the school celebration ceremony, our goddess Jessica Chan will come to the stage to sing. As far as I know, when the gala is about to end, she will invite a spectator to sing a song with her."

"Will Jessica invite an audience to sing on the same stage?"

Hearing Sean's words, the students immediately became restless.

Jessica was the most popular actress in the world and their idol! If someone could get the opportunity to sing on the same stage with her, it would be worthwhile to die!

But then, Sean said proudly, "To tell you the truth, at the annual meeting of my dad's Chamber of Commerce last year, he also invited Jessica to perform, and I was also fortunate enough to take a photo with her. I believe everyone knows what I mean. If Jessica can choose me tonight, everyone will be my guest. After the ceremony, the seafood barbecue at the front door is on my treat. Everyone is welcome!"

Hearing these words, many people couldn't help showing disappointment on their faces.

Obviously, Jessica would choose Sean to sing a song on the stage.

His father's Chamber of Commerce could invite her to sing. There was nothing else to expect.

Sean was very satisfied with the effect of the scene. He nodded and swaggered to the venue with Sherry in his arms.

Throughout the school celebration ceremony, Jason and Jenny did not speak.

They sat together, not looking at each other, just like strangers.

In the end, Jason couldn't help but turn his head and whispered to Jenny, "That night..."

"Stop!" Jenny hurriedly said, "I'll settle with you things happened that night, but you're too useless today. Sherry acted like that, why don't you hit her?" © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Jason was speechless for a while. "I can't beat a woman, can I? But I have to thank you for what happened today. Otherwise, in that case, I really can't do anything to her."

Jenny nodded and then said angrily, "But later, I helped you so much. Sean Chan slandered me in front of so many people, and you didn't do anything? It's all men. Why are you afraid of fighting with him?"

Jason shook his head, took a light breath and said, "I will help you vent. Don't worry."

Jenny heard his tone and turned to look at Jason in surprise.

She suddenly felt that this weak and incompetent boy seemed to be somewhat different at this time.

With the appearance of Jessica Chan, the more than two hours of celebration reached its climax.

The spotlight on the stage focused on her, and the audience cheered and screamed.

The two songs ended soon.

Then, it was the chorus of invited guests that everyone was looking forward to.

Sean and Sherry were not far from Jason.

Sean turned his head and looked at Jason as if he was provoking.

At the same time, Jessica stood on the stage and greeted the students.

"I am very happy to come to Nandu University. In order to thank you for your enthusiasm, I have decided to pick one to go on stage and sing the last song with me."

Hearing this, not only students but also teachers were excited.

Jessica's reputation was very big.

No matter the old and young, they were recognized her as the national goddess.

But soon, the enthusiasm of many students subsided, and they unconsciously looked at Sean, who was sitting in the middle.

Sean sat upright with a proud look on his face.

He believed that Jessica still remembered himself, beacause when he took a photo, she asked him about his name.

These students were not qualified to compete for a spot with him at all.

Seeing the sudden change in the audience, Jessica didn't care at all. She slightly raised the corner of her mouth and pointed her finger. The spotlight hit the area around Sean Chan.

Sean stood up from the chair with a smile on his face.

At the same time, Jason stood up and looked astonished.
