A Billion Dollar Exchange

Liling who had been watching from the window lifted one of her brows.

"Could you tell me what"s going on?" She smiled pulling Xin Yong to her bed.

Xin Yong sat beside her and narrated the ordeal.

"Liling, I"m afraid!. What if I get in trouble, gush he"s so handsome, what if I fall for him. That would be disastrous" Xin Yong fell flat on the bed as she covered her face with her hands.

"Yong Yong, thinking about it, it"s not bad to fall for someone actually but the problem is not about falling for him, it"s if he feels the same way about you too"

Liling reasoned, she also lay on the bed and looked up to the ceiling.

"You see, that"s the issue. Because you won"t know unless you try." Xin Yong sighed. Her head and heart playing tricks on her.

"Well, I don"t know what to say, but I"ll advice you to follow your heart. If it"s telling you it"s the right choice then go for it." Liling advised.

She knew if she was the one, she wouldn"t even give Jin Yue the chance to last this long. But people are different and she shouldn"t dissuade Xin Yong because of her own personal reasons. She knew Xin Yong was old enough to know what was good for her, so she didn"t have any right whatsoever to interfere.

Xin Yong nodded and smiled at her. They both continued to stare at the ceiling, each of them in there own different thoughts.

After sometime Xin Yong spoke up.

"Are your parents coming for your graduation?"

Liling froze at this statement, she had long forgotten the problems at home. Thinking about it, her dad can never, never come. He would even prefer to sit at home and watch boring Operas than to go for something as unimportant as that. Her mom would be pleased to attend her daughter"s graduation. That alone was enough for her.

Their graduation was just in the next two weeks and they would also see their results that day. She had always wanted to graduate with a very good result, to at least make her mom proud of her. She had put in her all in her studies and prayed for the best too.

"I don"t know yet, my dad is very busy but I think my mom would come" Liling finally replied.

"That"s good, at least I would see the woman who gave birth to this stunning princess." Xin Yong chuckled.

"Xin Yong!, stop flattering me" They both laughed and discussed other random things.

When Richen and Xiao Ran returned, Xin Yong didn"t talk about what happened earlier, so Liling didn"t too. But it was not until the dorm mate came banging on the door, screaming about the handsome Adonis that Richen and Xiao Ran cast Xin Yong a surprised look.

"Hehe, don"t mind her, it was just..., uhmm, okay okay, I forgot to tell you guys; the CEO"s friend came visiting... "

She tried to explain but the talkative dorm mate couldn"t even let her finish.

"Ah, he bought her a brand new SUV!. Branddddd New!!. OMG, guess what?, your friend here rejected it. Can you imagine?. Who rejects a car!!? "

The girl screamed as she paced around the room. She could have come earlier but she received a call from her mom, so by the time she went poke nosing, Richen and Xiao Ran had already returned.

"An SUV?, where, where is it? " Xiao Ran screamed running to the window to look outside.

"Didn"t you hear me, she rejected it!"

The dorm mate gasped and sat on the reading chair in the room, crossing her legs. She narrated the details from the point where he had told her to call Xin Yong to the point where he had left after calling someone to take the car away.

"You should have seen this man, he was so handsome. Xin Yong, if you are not interested, just introduce me okay!." She rambled on while Xiao Ran and Richen cast Xin Yong a surprised look.

"Ahhh, why are you making the matter this big. Ran

Ran, it"s not like that, the thing is, I couldn"t take that gift, hehe, we don"t have such a relations.h.i.+p... "

Xin Yong couldn"t read what was going on in her friends" minds, while Liling sat at a corner watching the scene, Richen and Xiao Ran stood watching her attentively. No emotion on their faces.

After a few seconds, the quiet Xiao Ran suddenly screamed. Xin Yong nearly bolted from the bed.

"Xin Yong!!!, an SUV??, Jezzz, I didn"t know he was this serious. Baby, this guy is sure into you. An SUV??. Ahhhhhh, why don"t I meet this kind of luck. Xin Yong, you are so lucky!!"

Xiao Ran shook her violently, Xin Yong"s head ached.

"Ran Ran, ahh, my head, you can leave me now." Xiao Ran quietly left her but sat beside her on the bed inquiring about the details of the meeting. She was so much excited, and Xin Yong naturally narrated the story to her.

Richen who had been quiet all along carefully turned and walked towards her bed. She lay down and faced the wall.

Since they were all talking about the handsome man, n.o.body realised her mood. She was almost forgotten in the room.

Lying there, she gritted her teeth.

Why doesn"t she meet this type of luck?

First it was Chang Ming, then Liu Wei.

Now, even Xin Yong, she was way prettier than had an admirer. But what of her!, not one!.

Facing the wall, she covered her eyes and took in deep breaths, holding in her anger and jealousy.

It wasn"t that Richen didn"t get admirers, but her taste was too much. Richard from the medicine department had liked her, but she didn"t like him.

She felt that he was too plain and casual, so she had introduced Liling to him, and urged him to go greet her during the birthday party.

He did it because of her but later on, she had told him off.

Maybe because Chang Ming liked Liling, she felt that he was breathtaking, and then Liu Wei was rich and handsome, she wanted him. Now Jin Yue wants Xin Yong, who she feels she"s prettier than, she thinks she is meant to be in her place.

Rightly speaking, Richen does not know what she really wants, she"s just living a confused life.
