I Inherited 5,000 Years of Family Property

"I'm sorry, everyone behind me, but I've found the person I was looking for. Thank you all for being so enthusiastic in helping me," Zhang Menglong felt a weight lift off his chest as he received the message about the "double-blended sugar in the Starbucks Frappuccino."

"Ah! It's all your fault. I asked you to come shopping with me, but you had to play video games. If we had come out just a few minutes earlier, we could have made that money!"

"Aaah! I will never spend so much time putting on makeup again! 100,000 yuan, and I was just four people away from the front!"

"Hahahaha! I'm the last one, my luck is way too good!"

"Wonder who that well-connected big shot is who found the person, 1.2 million yuan, man. You could work for ten years and still not save that much!"

"Handsome, are you looking for anyone else?"

...

Upon hearing this news, the people gathered at the school gate were a mix of joy and sorrow. Many were just one step away from winning 100,000 yuan, and many had even postponed important matters to be here, now all for naught.

But Zhang Menglong had found his person, and they couldn't shamelessly go on asking for money; otherwise, it would be like freeloaders. They could only disperse gradually, filled with regret.

"Wait for next time, everyone. Since you've all come here to help, you must have put off a lot of things. It wouldn't be right to let you leave empty-handed, so please accept this little token of my appreciation!"Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Because there were too many people just now, Zhang Menglong directly had several students make the transfers on the spot, and naturally, each of these students also received a sum of 100,000 yuan as a hardship fee.

"Trouble you to transfer 10,000 yuan to everyone here, but no need for the ones who came after."

"Got it!" The students nodded their heads, thinking inside that Zhang Menglong was a fool with too much money; these people didn't do anything and yet were still getting a hardship fee. Was he here to find someone, or was he just doing charity work?

Upon hearing that there was still money to be had, the downcast students' faces immediately lit up. Though it wasn't 100,000 yuan, getting 10,000 for doing nothing was still good, as it was almost like money falling from the sky.

Soon, everyone was satisfied with the money they received, but they didn't leave. Zhang Menglong was still standing at the school gate and hadn't left, hinting that the person he was looking for might show up here at any moment.

After making a rough estimate, Zhang Menglong must have sought the help of over a thousand people, ten thousand for each, which added up to a billion yuan. Who could be so significant to warrant a billionaire's search?

During this time, many tried to strike up a conversation with Zhang Menglong, including several who were voted onto the campus beauty ranking, but he scarcely gave them a second glance, further piquing everyone's curiosity about this person.

"Yiyi, wait for me! Stop running, Sisi just told me that the rich heir has found who he was looking for. Even if we go now, there's no money for us!"

But the girl didn't slow down at all and kept running forward.

"Is it her? Or could it be her?" Zhang Menglong's gaze darted around the people nearby, many of whom had hurried over, but once they heard there was no money to be earned, their faces fell with disappointment.

By their expressions alone, Zhang Menglong knew they weren't the one he was looking for.

Suddenly, a girl caught his eye. She wore light makeup, gasping for breath, her hair was somewhat windblown and messy, and her gaze swiftly swept around before finally settling on him.

At the moment their eyes met, Zhang Menglong felt as if a current ran through him.

"It's her!"

Zhang Menglong removed his mask, revealing his face in front of so many people for the first time.

"My goodness, not only is he rich, but he's also quite handsome!"

"Wuuu, I'm so jealous. Who could be so lucky?"

"From now on, I've decided he's my husband."

"Who wants to steal my husband? I'll fight her to the death!"

"Wait, look, he's walking towards someone."

"Isn't that Lu Yiyao?"

"You know her?"

"I know her, but she doesn't know me. I went to this year's Top Ten Singers contest, and she was the champion."

"Really? Although she's also pretty, isn't there still a bit of a gap compared to the top-ranked beauties in our school?"

"Damn, are you as pretty as she is? Giving her a 7 out of 10 isn't an overstatement, right?"

Lu Yiyao's appearance suddenly attracted everyone's attention. Could it be that this young wealthy man really came for her?

At this moment, Lu Yiyao's roommate arrived late. Her gaze lingered on Zhang Menglong for a moment. Although there was no face on the photos in the friend circle, it wasn't hard to identify from the clothes that he was the wealthy man looking for someone at the school gate.

"This... can't be such a coincidence, right?" Guo Yuqian never expected that the so-called online friend Lu Yiyao was going to meet today would turn out to be that young man? Was he making such a big fuss just to meet Lu Yiyao?

She had just been envying whoever was so lucky, and that lucky woman turned out to be her own roommate!

Actually, Zhang Menglong was quite an extrovert, and he could easily bond with any acquaintance, whether they were strangers or not. But whenever it came to a girl he liked, he would instantly become timid as a pup and so nervous that he could hardly speak.

Zhang Menglong had imagined all the way what kind of person she would be, but when he saw her in person, he couldn't help but be a bit dazzled. Lu Yiyao wasn't one of those typical internet celebrity faces; her beauty was incredibly natural.

In fact, not just Zhang Menglong, Lu Yiyao felt almost exactly the same. A flush of red gradually spread across her cheeks, and the scene of their first encounter was as warm as a scene from a comic strip.

"Do you guys feel the air around us is filled with the sour stench of love?"

"I smell it, I also smell the sweet scent of money."

"You might not believe me if I say it, but I really want to ship this couple."

"I can be single, but the couple I ship must end up together!"

"Whoever stays here to watch, I'm going to move the civil affairs bureau over right now."

...

"Um, are you 'Frappuccino with Double Sugar'?" Zhang Menglong's hands didn't quite know where to put themselves.

"Doesn't look like it?" Lu Yiyao laughed. "I just didn't expect that we would meet in such a way."

"What could I do?" Zhang Menglong said with a helpless smile. "I couldn't contact you, didn't know what you looked like or your name, which school and class you were in, so I could only resort to this most basic level of carpet searching for you."

"Hmm..." Lu Yiyao reached out her hand generously, "Then let's get to know each other again. My name is Lu Yiyao, a senior student of Gusu University Music Department."

"Nice to meet you, my name is Zhang Menglong, a senior student of Polymer Materials at Jiangnan University of Science and Technology."
