The young man had a few standard approaches when it ca to seeking the attention of a girl, and the most basic among these was to make moves to draw her attention.
Take, for instance, the n at this table.
"You De, aren't you going to introduce us?"
Tang Youde said, "This is my brother-in-law, Li Xiaoyao, and this is my…"
Tang Youde didn't know how to introduce Lin Yuanyuan because he didn't even know her na.
"My na is Lin Yuanyuan, I'm You De's sister," Lin Yuanyuan said with a smile, taking the initiative.
When she ntioned she was Tang Youde's sister, the faces of the n at the table all changed.
Firstly, her surna was Lin, while Tang Youde's was Tang, so naturally, everyone assud she was Tang Youde's cousin. And because Tang Youde had referred to Li Xiaoyao as his brother-in-law, everyone subconsciously thought that Li Xiaoyao and Lin Yuanyuan were boyfriend and girlfriend.
Li Xiaoyao also looked at her strangely, wondering what this crazy woman was up to now.
Tang Youde worried inwardly, wondering if this beauty had taken a fancy to his brother-in-law.
This was not good news. Although his sister was quite beautiful, there was still sowhat of a gap compared to this woman.
If she really had her sights on Li Xiaoyao, Tang Youde felt that his sister's chances of winning were not great.
A woman said with disdain, "Didn't expect that, You De, your countryside could also produce such beautiful won. It seems even the chicken coop can birth a phoenix."
As soon as these words ca out, it caused a round of laughter among the crowd.
Li Xiaoyao frowned, Lin Yuanyuan might have a bad temper, but she was not a bad person. Moreover, just because he could bully Lin Yuanyuan, it didn't an others could bully her too.
"If you were not a woman, you would already be lying on the ground," Li Xiaoyao said coldly.
The woman's face changed, and she snorted, "Just a bumpkin from the countryside, what's there to pretend?"
Seeing that the situation was about to escalate, Wei Qingshan tily intervened, "All right, let's drop it."
"Dongi, you're a college student now, there's no need to bother with such people." The one speaking was Fang Qiong, the female protagonist of today's event, and her words seed to be diating the situation but in reality, she was belittling Lin Yuanyuan and Li Xiaoyao.
Wei Qingshan also gave Lin Yuanyuan an apologetic smile and said, "Sorry, Dongi just speaks her mind. This drink is on , in apology for her."
Wei Qingshan picked up a glass of wine and without another word, downed it in one go.
Lin Yuanyuan scoffed in her heart, completely unimpressed, "For my brother's sake, I will let this slide."
"Tsk, You De, the scholar, sure has so face," Dongi raised a challenging eyebrow, about to retort, but Wei Qingshan slamd the table and said, "Enough!"
Dongi imdiately shut up, but she glared at Lin Yuanyuan resentfully, cursing inwardly, "Vixen."
Fang Qiong looked at Wei Qingshan, her brows slightly furrowed. She knew his character well; for him to have shouted at a high school classmate over an unfamiliar woman, he must have felt sothing for Lin Yuanyuan.
Stay connected with empire
The drinks had been passed around three tis, and various flavors of dishes were enjoyed.
After the al, a classmate asked, "Qingshan, where are we heading next?"
Soone suggested, "How about going to a bar for drinks?"
"It's just past five, too early for drinks, the bars aren't even open yet."
"Exactly, and bars are so noisy. With so many of us, it wouldn't be fun."
Wei Qingshan watched everyone discuss back and forth with a smile and didn't interject, standing off to the side, which made him seem even more mature.
Wei Qingshan's gaze kept drifting towards Lin Yuanyuan, the admiration and passion in his eyes almost bursting forth.
Fang Qiong had been paying attention to Wei Qingshan all along, and now, seeing the look in his eyes, a shiver ran through her, and she couldn't help but start to worry.
Wei Qingshan had pursued her for several years, but she had never agreed, because she knew that the easier a woman was to get, the less a man would cherish her.
But she also understood that n have their limits to patience, and if that patience wore thin, Wei Qingshan might just give up directly.
The thought alone was enough to make Fang Qiong's heart fill with worry.
"Let's go sing," soone suggested, and imdiately, most people agreed.
Wei Qingshan smiled faintly and said, "There's a magnificent KTV in Culture Lane with a nice atmosphere. Let's go there."
"Magnificent!"
"I heard that KTV is the most luxurious in the whole Ling City, with a minimum spend of ten thousand for a private room!"
"Qingshan really is a tycoon!"
Amidst cheers from everyone, they all went downstairs and headed for the Magnificent.
Most of these students had cars, and even if so of the girls didn't have cars, their boyfriends did.
As they were going downstairs, a few female students' boyfriends offered You De with seemingly good intentions, "You can ride in my car later."
A man next to him said, "Better ride in my car, it's more spacious."
They were so enthusiastic only because they wanted to get closer to Lin Yuanyuan; otherwise, no one would bother inviting You De.
The elevator was only so big, and everyone heard the two n speaking.
Dongi snorted lightly and said, "Yes, this way you won't need to take a taxi there. After all, taking a cab from here to the Magnificent would cost over ten Xuan Country Currency. You De, coming from a rural area and making it to university is not easy, those ten-plus Xuan Country Currency are equal to your al money."
Though her words seed kind, they were filled with ridicule and could easily enrage soone.
Li Xiaoyao said indifferently, "No need, we have a car."
"Ha!" Dongi imdiately sneered, "If you don't have a car, you don't have a car. What's the point in pretending, puffing up your face to look big? People are kindly offering you a ride, and you won't even accept it."
The others in the elevator didn't speak, but in their hearts, they agreed with Dongi.
In their view, when Li Xiaoyao said they had a car, it was just putting on airs.
When the elevator reached the ground floor, everyone noticeably slowed down, all harboring the sa thought. They wanted to see if this man, who claid to have a car, really could conjure one out of thin air.
Li Xiaoyao walked out of the hotel and said to Lin Yuanyuan and You De, "Wait here for , I'll drive over."
"Still pretending!" Dongi looked down on Li Xiaoyao as he walked away and turned to You De, "You De, your brother-in-law really knows how to put on a show."
Others added, "Yeah, You De, it's okay not to have a car, you can just ride with us."
Angered, You De glared at these classmates, suppressed the rage in his heart, and said, "No need, my brother-in-law has already gone to get the car. You all go ahead."
Seeing that You De was still stubborn at this point, the crowd couldn't help but shake their heads.
"Hey, we should go ahead, otherwise, with us here, his brother-in-law won't feel comfortable coming back," Dongi said disdainfully.
"Exactly, let's give his brother-in-law so face."
Just then, a pure white Audi Q7 drove up slowly and stopped at the hotel entrance.
The window rolled down, revealing Li Xiaoyao's face; the expressions on the faces of the crowd, who had been waiting to see a commotion, instantly froze.
