Chapter 406: Chapter 406: Lu Youxi is Not to be ssed With! Chapter 406: Chapter 406: Lu Youxi is Not to be ssed With! “Who?” Lu Youbang looked down at his phone.
But before Yan Lingbo could find the photo, he said to Lu Youbang, “Don’t tell anyone we looked for you, okay? We just wanted to confirm sothing, we weren’t thinking anything bad. If so nasty rumors start spreading around the school, it’ll definitely be you who’s spread them. If Lu Youxi cos to settle the score with us, we’ll definitely point the finger at you.”
Lu Youbang: “…”
What kind of reputation does Lu Youxi have in your School of Economics, anyway?
It’s got you so scared.
“If that’s how you’re going to be, I’m not going to help you identify this person,” Lu Youbang wasn’t foolish, “so later you can spread gossip on your own and then bla for it.”
“You’re convinced I have a bad reputation, so it’s easy to pin the bla on , right?” Lu Youbang said.
“We’re just afraid you’ll spread it. If you don’t, we won’t either, and then there won’t be any problem, right?” Lin Xiaoli said. “And besides, if we didn’t spread it, we definitely won’t admit to it. Similarly, if it wasn’t you who spread it, we don’t mind if you expose us. When that ti cos, we’ll just have to face it out.”
Now, Lu Youbang was actually curious about who could make these two so eager to identify, to the point they’d even say such things.
Lu Youbang nodded, “Alright, I definitely won’t talk about it. If any rumors co out, it’ll be you two who spread them.”
“Fine then, neither of us will talk,” Yan Lingbo said with a snort, “otherwise this dragging on and on will never end.”
After saying that, he finally found the photo, “Here it is.”
“Lu Youxi shopping for clothes with so older guy, definitely not her dad,” Lin Xiaoli whispered, “Her parents have been to our school before, lots of people have seen them and I rember how they look, definitely not like this guy.”
When Lu Youbang saw it, wasn’t that the village chief?
He imdiately rembered the talk Ge Guifen had with him not long ago.
It looked like Lu Youxi really was about to pull the village chief into doing business together, selling rice from Hexing Village.
Ge Guifen hadn’t been wrong.
Ge Guifen wanted Lu Youbang to find a way to ss up Lu Youxi’s business, and Lu Youbang was indeed inclined to do so.
Therefore, this ti he carefully examined the photo of the village chief, feigning uncertainty, and shook his head, “Don’t recognize him.”
“Really don’t recognize him?”
“Do I have to lie to you?” Lu Youbang replied discontentedly, “If I know him, I know him; if I don’t, I don’t, there’s no need to lie to you.”
“Then why would Lu Youxi be with this person?” Lin Xiaoli asked gossipingly.
“Who knows? Isn’t she in business? Maybe she’s accompanying so big boss shopping,” Lu Youbang said offhandedly.
Lin Xiaoli and Yan Lingbo returned to their dorm, chatting as they entered. Just as they were going in, Lin Jingshen in the dorm overheard Yan Lingbo say, “Do you think Lu Youxi accompanying the boss shopping is a sacrifice of her virtue?”
“What sacrifice of virtue?” Lin Jingshen asked, “What has Lu Youxi done?”
“Uh…” Yan Lingbo and Lin Xiaoli stiffened for a mont, then quickly closed the dorm door.
Lin Jingshen had been in a bad mood lately; no one knew why, and no one in the dorm dared to provoke him.
“What are you muttering about?” Lin Jingshen demanded unhappily.
Yan Lingbo and Lin Xiaoli quickly explained the situation.
“The photo?” Lin Jingshen said, “Send it to .”
“Eh… Jingshen, what do you want it for?” Yan Lingbo asked hesitantly.
“You’re not actually going to investigate that old guy’s identity, are you?” Lin Xiaoli was actually worried that Lin Jingshen would spread it, but he didn’t dare say that to him directly, so he put it differently.
“Enough with the nonsense, just give the photo, I need it,” Lin Jingshen urged impatiently.
Yan Lingbo looked at Lin Xiaoli, who had no choice but to nudge Yan Lingbo with his elbow to hurry him up and give the photo to Lin Jingshen.
Reluctantly, Yan Lingbo sent the photo to Lin Jingshen. “Jingshen, you really mustn’t share the photo with others. If it leads to any bad rumors being spread, and if Lu Youxi cos after us, we won’t be able to handle the fallout.”
“Relax, even if it does get out, it won’t involve you two,” Lin Jingshen said as he received the MMS photo from Yan Lingbo and then went out the door holding the photo.
Yan Lingbo was truly scared now, “What do we do! What the hell is Lin Jingshen planning with that photo!”
“How should I know? You were so scared, so why did you obediently give the photo to Lin Jingshen just now?” Lin Xiaoli chided.
“Wasn’t it you who just pushed and told to give it to him?” Yan Lingbo retorted.
“I was hinting for you to find a reason to refuse!” Lin Xiaoli said helplessly. “You could say the photo was gone, deleted, or whatever, right? Who told you to just go along and give it to him!”
“I didn’t catch on, okay?” Yan Lingbo lanted as he plopped down in his chair, “If I had known, I wouldn’t have been so nosey, wouldn’t have taken any photos!”
Lu Youxi was not soone to be trifled with!
Lin Xiaoli exhaled deeply, “Don’t worry so much. Lu Youxi was able to ruin Lu Youbang’s reputation before because she had solid evidence, and nobody was there to speak up for him.”
“It’s different with you, Lu Youxi has no proof it was you. Besides, when the ti cos, both Lin Jingshen and I will speak up for you. If Lin Jingshen really does blow things up, then it’s on him to take responsibility,” Lin Xiaoli advised, “And besides, we still don’t know for sure what Lin Jingshen is planning, do we?”
“Everything is just speculation, he might not be planning to spread it,” Lin Xiaoli comforted Yan Lingbo.
Although Lin Xiaoli said it that way, he didn’t quite believe his own words, so they didn’t carry much conviction.
That made Yan Lingbo feel it wasn’t very convincing either.
The two of them had no idea that Lin Jingshen, with the photo in hand, had gone to find Lu Youbang.
Lin Jingshen made contact with Lu Youbang very cautiously, agreeing to et at a place far from school to avoid being seen by anyone.
They t at a cafe located in a small alley in the city, well away from the campus. It’s impressive that Lin Jingshen managed to find such a well-hidden cafe in the vast Imperial Capital.
The cafe probably attracted custors because it was tucked away so deep, making it quite empty at the mont.
But according to the cafe’s reputation, the owner is very knowledgeable about coffee.
The coffee beans are all top-notch.
So even though the cafe is situated in a deeper alley, it doesn’t lack patrons who are coffee enthusiasts.
Therefore, it isn’t like those famous cafes located in shopping malls or by big roads, bustling with lots of custors, but it never lacks for custors either.
On the contrary, because custors co in dribs and drabs, the coffee shop doesn’t face a situation of being overly crowded, which makes for a rather nice environnt.
