I'm back in 1990

Chapter 1139: A Girl's Intuition

While Zeng Wentian was having dinner with his father, Ou Ya had already found out the basic information about the other two neighbors.

The Korean girl's name is Choi Min-joo. Her family must be extremely wealthy, not just ordinary wealthy. When the cleaning staff came to clean the packaging boxes, she glanced at the brand of the mattress box, looked it up online, and wow, she didn't expect that mattress to be so expensive. It was enough for her to pay for a year's worth of accommodation for international students.

It's important to know that the rent for a single room in an international student apartment is not cheap, at 120 yuan a day, which adds up to tens of thousands of yuan a year, while the rent is just the price of a mattress.

Although Choi Min-joo had quite a large entourage, she was easy to get along with. That night, she knocked on everyone's door and gave everyone a box of Korean snacks, including Ou-ya.

She also said to Ouya in English, "Nice to meet you."

Oya replied in Korean, "Thank you!"

Choi Min-joo was very happy and started chatting with Ou Ya.

The other boy was named Xu Ziang, a local from Shanghai, but not an international student. Ou Ya didn't know how he got in. She didn't know much about this place. Maybe anyone who was willing to pay the high price could stay here!

Xu Ziang is not tall and speaks slowly and deliberately; his personality is not immediately apparent.

Ou Ya was most concerned about the one next door.

The next day, she deliberately left the door open, keeping a close eye on what was happening next door. Sure enough, Zeng Wentian came out of his room.

She quickly called out to him, "Aren't you going to get breakfast?"

Zeng Wentian was taken aback for a moment, but eventually nodded.

"Great! I want to go too! But I'm not familiar with this place yet. Didn't you say you knew it well? Can you show me around?"

Zeng Wentian thought about it and agreed.

The North Campus restaurant wasn't far from their student apartment building, and the two walked there.

On the way, Ou Ya kept observing Zeng Wentian. The boy was dressed very simply, wearing a white T-shirt, black cropped pants, and ordinary Nike running shoes.

This surprised Ou Ya, as she knew that most boys in Singapore were quite particular about their clothing.

Ou Ya asked tentatively, "Do you have family in Shanghai? You said you had dinner with them last night."

Zeng Wentian did not hide anything from this, but said calmly, "My father is here."

Ou Ya nodded and didn't ask any further questions. She guessed that there was something going on here; her father was in Shanghai, but he didn't live at home.

Led by Zeng Wentian, the two successfully obtained their meals, carried their trays, and found seats.

"You're not lying, you do seem quite familiar with this place."

Zeng Wentian smiled and focused intently on the ham, eggs, and bacon in front of him.

Only then did Ou Ya ask, "Your father is here, so how come you're in Singapore?"

Zeng Wentian gave Ou Ya a deep look, a look that made Ou Ya feel a little uneasy.

Fortunately, Zeng Wentian eventually answered the question: "My father and mother do not live together. I have always lived with my mother in Singapore, but I come to Shanghai every year to spend some time with my father."

After saying that, Zeng Wentian asked Ou Ya, "And you? How did you come to Shanghai University?"

After swallowing a mouthful of vegetables, Ou Ya said, "I studied finance at the University of Malaya. I heard that Shanghai is one of the financial centers in Asia, and my Mandarin is pretty good, so I came here."

Zeng Wentian asked in surprise, "You're a graduate student?"

Ou Ya nodded smugly: "That's right!"

Your one-stop haven for novel reading.

After returning to her dormitory, Ou Ya immediately sent a message to her best friend, Lin Siyin.

"I just had breakfast with him!!"

Lin Siyin replied instantly: "Where are the photos?"

Ou Ya: "...I forgot to take the picture!"

Lin Siyin sent a mischievous smiley face: "Do you like that boy?"

Ou Ya felt her face burning and immediately typed: "We've only known each other for less than 24 hours, what do you mean by 'like'? I just think he's a bit interesting."

"Interesting? What do you mean? Tell me."

"He said his father lives in Shanghai, but he lives in a dormitory. He used to come to Shanghai every year to stay with his father for a period of time, but he spends most of his time living in Singapore with his mother. Think about it..."

"Your parents are divorced?"

Ou Ya analyzed, "I guessed so, and his tone was different when he mentioned his father and mother."

Lin Siyin sent a shocked emoji: "You're too observant! You could be Conan."

After replying with an eye-rolling emoji, Ou Ya went offline.

International students have to register a few days earlier than Chinese students, so none of the three of them have any classes to attend yet.

Choi Min-joo and Ou Ya quickly became close, after all, they were the only girls in their suite.

Choi Min-joo told Ou Ya that her family was in the retail and food production business in South Korea. Her father was the second son in the family, and she was the second of three children.

"My older sister is already married, and my younger brother is still young, so I'm the one with more freedom in our family."

"Don't you Koreans usually choose to study in Europe and America? What are you doing in Shanghai?"

"Because our family has a lot of trade relations with China, I came to China to study so that I can better learn Chinese culture and help run the family business in the future."

"How big is your family's business?" Ou Ya asked Cui Minzhu curiously.

"In short, it's huge. Let's put it this way: the annual trade volume is probably several hundred million yuan!"

"won?"

"I meant RMB!" Choi Min-joo said, somewhat displeased.

At this moment, Ou Ya noticed something: Zeng Wentian didn't react much. He sat on the sofa looking at the book in his hand, as if he hadn't heard her talking to Cui Minzhu. But Ou Ya was sure that he had heard everything they had just said.

This detail made Ou Ya feel that either Zeng Wentian had no concept of money, or he didn't care about these hundreds of millions of RMB. Based on her intuition, it should be the latter.

......

The next day, Huang Zeji boarded the car with his luggage. Before the car door closed, Yu Xiang asked him, "You really don't want Mom to come with you?"

"Didn't I already tell you? I can go by myself. I know Shanghai University better than you do, and Professor Hu is with me too, so don't worry!"

Yu Xiang had no choice but to give up, but she reminded her, "Remember, come back on Saturday and Sunday when you have time off. You also need to visit your grandparents and maternal grandparents."

Huang Zeji nodded: "I know, Mom, I'm leaving!"

After he finished speaking, the electric door of the van slowly closed, and the vehicle drove onto the street outside.

Yu Xiang stood at her doorstep watching the van drive away.

Originally, she didn't want her son to live at school, but Huang Ze insisted on living at school and even got his father's support. Yu Xiang couldn't persuade the father and son, so she had to compromise.

Besides, it's close by anyway, so if anything happens, it only takes a few tens of minutes to get there.
