Free Web NovelChapter 1973: Chapter 1970: Heavenly Immortal Beauty Comes Knocking
"Just now, Luo Shuji called me, telling me to go home to move out overnight. The villa is up for sale. The Luo family’s only sell their properties when they have financial troubles. Is this your doing?" Yin Menglan questioned.
Mu Binglan, He Xiaofei, and Qiao Xiaoyi were taken aback and then all looked at Lin Tian. Lin Tian shrugged his shoulders, "The business world is like a battlefield; every day, someone takes a hit and falls. The Luo family has financial issues; isn’t that normal?"
"You..." Yin Menglan was momentarily at a loss for words, her face looking increasingly unpleasant. Her eyes changed but she said nothing, turning around to leave.
"Menglan, Menglan..." Lv Lianghao noticed Yin Menglan leaving and wanted to chase after her, but Yin Menglan did not stop and instead quickened her pace as she left the venue.
Lv Lianghao furrowed his brows and walked up to Lin Tian and his group, "What did you say to Yin Menglan? Why did she leave in such a hurry?"
"You’ll only know if you ask her." Mu Binglan replied coldly.
Lv Lianghao looked displeased, glanced at the group, and walked to the side to make a phone call to inquire about it. But after dialing several times with no answer, he was quite frustrated.
"This vice president seems to have a thing for Yin Menglan. Does he want to be the backup option too?" Mu Binglan remarked amusingly.
He Xiaofei scoffed disdainfully, "As long as they’re pretty, he’s interested. He has used his position as vice president to harass many younger female students."
"Brother Lin, is what Yin Menglan said true?" Ning Wenbin asked curiously.
It had been only two hours since the call, and Lin Tian didn’t expect things to move so swiftly. Zhou Botong’s efficiency was quite high. He was puzzled, as were Mu Binglan and the others who looked at him curiously.
Lin Tian said casually, "Some people need to be taught a lesson; this is the price."
"You’re impressive." Ning Wenbin raised his thumb. He knew Lin Tian’s capability; dealing with a Luo family wasn’t actually difficult.
"Let’s not talk about those who spoil the mood. There are so many fruits here, let’s eat them, don’t let them go to waste." Lin Tian said nonchalantly.
The girls rolled their eyes at him, thinking, do you still need these few fruits? But since Lin Tian didn’t want to explain further, they wisely chose not to press him for answers; they were understanding women.
However, He Xiaofei looked at Lin Tian, feeling an added sense of mystery. This mystery seemed to attract her to explore it, irresistibly.
Without Yin Menglan, the gathering continued, and as it neared the end, the interaction among clubs grew increasingly enthusiastic. After all, tomorrow marked the start of the holiday, everyone was in high spirits, indulging a little.
Suddenly, the noise in the venue diminished and grew quieter, quickly turning into silence, with everyone’s gaze fixed on the banquet hall entrance, reminiscent of when Lin Tian and Xiao Manxuan entered.
A young girl appeared at the venue entrance and walked in. She was wearing a purple short skirt, with straight and fair legs, not clad in any stockings, yet her skin seemed better than any. White and tender with a shimmer, akin to the finest sheep-fat white jade.
A light purple belt accentuated her slender waist, further highlighting her ample chest. Her stunning face, eyes clear yet mysterious, emanated a hint of purple, deeply enigmatic.
Her black hair reached her waist, mildly bound with a light purple ribbon, offering a hint of allure within simplicity.
This was an extraordinary beauty, exuding a mysterious air, rendering one enchanted. Regardless of gender, everyone was drawn to such exquisite beauty. In their eyes, only Xiao Manxuan’s appearance and temperament could compare.
An already stunning Xiao Manxuan had left them amazed; now here was another on par, who wouldn’t be entranced?
Students speculated on who this girl in the purple dress was. Clearly, she wasn’t a student at this school; if she were, such a beautiful girl would have long ranked among the top campus beauties.
If she wasn’t from this school, who was she looking for? Which guy would be the lucky one? At this moment, students had stopped pondering how a girl not from this school could have entered the venue.
After the silence, they started whispering among themselves. Lv Lianghao’s eyes lit up, and he quickly walked over to the girl in the purple dress, displaying what he believed to be the most gentlemanly and charming smile.
"Beautiful lady, hello, I’m the Student Council Vice President, Lv Lianghao, in charge of this gathering. Might I be of any assistance?" Lv Lianghao nodded slightly, speaking with utmost politeness.
He was very proud of his words, complimenting her beauty while offering help and indicating his Vice President status, without coming off as abrupt or insincere.
He felt he would surely make a good impression on the girl in the purple dress, then exchange contact details to foster "friendship."
Thinking he could woo such a heavenly beauty excited Lv Lianghao almost to laughter. He was prepared for the envious and jealous gazes from other boys; indeed, at this moment, they envied him for being the first to talk to the girl in the purple dress.
But the next instant, he froze. The girl in the purple dress didn’t even glance at him as she bypassed him, moving towards the back, leaving only a lingering fragrance in the air.
Being ignored by the beauty, Lv Lianghao felt extremely awkward, especially since the boys’ expressions shifted from envy to schadenfreude, making him wish he could find a hole to hide in.
Immediately, he felt a surge of jealousy. Who was the beauty looking for that there was no one else in her eyes? Lv Lianghao turned to look, eyes widening.
In front of everyone, the girl in the purple dress walked straight up to Lin Tian and with a gentle complaint said, "Lin Tian, you really made me search so hard, you know, I came straight here after getting off the plane!"
This surprised Mu Binglan, He Xiaofei, and the others. This extraordinary beauty was looking for Lin Tian. The other boys were envious and jealous, especially Lv Lianghao, whose eyes almost shot fire.
Lin Tian seemed unfazed by everyone’s reactions and replied with a smile, "Um, Lingyu, how did you know I was here?"
This casual attitude from Lin Tian made the boys wince; it was too laid-back! Talking to such a pretty heavenly beauty, shouldn’t he be more charismatic? At least, shouldn’t he be more serious?
The girl in the purple dress was Zhang Lingyu, arriving under the night sky, adding to her mystery.
Zhang Lingyu glanced at his hand, countering, "What do you think?"
No sooner had she spoken than Lin Tian felt his palm heat up slightly, a rune faintly appeared and then vanished. He realized Zhang Lingyu had found Jinghua University and accurately located the Central District Cafeteria Banquet Hall using the rune’s sensing.
"Lingyu..." A voice brimming with joy interrupted their "standoff."
Xiao Manxuan had already rushed over, hugging Zhang Lingyu tightly, her face filled with happiness.
"I haven’t seen you in so long; I missed you terribly." Xiao Manxuan expressed her excitement.
Being hugged by the little girl, Zhang Lingyu could only cast a white glance at Lin Tian, as if to say she’d let him off for now, then whispered, "Let’s head to the rooftop; it’s not suitable to talk much here."
