Just as the two had walked into Rende Hall, Liu Wentian heard a rather surprised voice at his ear, "Liu Wentian?? What are you doing here??"
Liu Wentian turned around in confusion and saw a group of young n and won, all very young, ranging from 17 to just over 20 years old.
The young people were all dressed very fashionably and obviously ca from well-off families.
The one who had called out to him was a tall, exceptionally beautiful girl. What surprised Liu Wentian was that this girl bore a resemblance to Li He.
"You are??" Liu Wentian was a bit puzzled; this girl looked sowhat familiar, but he couldn't recall who she was.
The girl furrowed her brows, a bit annoyed, and said, "You, you actually forgot about ??"
When she saw Han Guo by Liu Wentian's side, she paused, surprised, and said, "You are Han Guo??"
"Who are you??" Han Guo seed not to recognize her either, looking at the girl with confusion.
The girl got even more annoyed, stamped her foot, and said, "I am Li Ruan!!"
"Li Ruan??" Liu Wentian was taken aback, then rembered.
No wonder she looked a bit like Li He, she turned out to be Li He's sister, with whom he had had a few interactions before.
But hadn't this girl always had that non-mainstream look before, her hair dyed purple and her eyes turned blue with contacts?
Now, her hair and eyes had returned to black, and she no longer sported the non-mainstream look, instead looking like a pure high school student.
It had to be said, according to Liu Wentian's aesthetic, she looked much more pleasant to the eye now than before. He really hadn't had a good impression of Li Ruan's previous look.
That was also why Li Ruan changed her style, hence he just didn't recognize her imdiately.
"So, do you rember now??" Li Ruan saw Liu Wentian's dawning realization and huffed slightly, obviously still a bit annoyed that he had not recognized her at first.
"Li Ruan?? Oh, I rember now, you are that little witch??" said Han Guo.
"Guo Guo, you know her too??" Liu Wentian asked curiously.
Han Guo nodded and said, "Yeah, we are from the sa school, and we've both been called so sort of school beauties by the boys. I was called 'Little Sprite,' and she was called 'Little Witch.' Apparently, there's even a new 'Little Fairy' recently. Those guys are so bored. I rarely went to school before because of health issues, but I've heard about her."
Liu Wentian then understood that Han Guo and Zi Qing were from the sa school, and the new 'Little Fairy' she ntioned was Zi Qing.
Li Ruan, seeing the two chatting to themselves and completely ignoring her, couldn't help feeling annoyed. She had never been ignored like this her entire life.
And it irritated her that Han Guo only knew her na while she had recognized Han Guo right away, making her feel as if she were a notch below Han Guo.
It wasn't that she was very familiar with Han Guo, but when Han Guo previously went to school, even in the height of sumr, she would be dressed as if it were winter, which was quite strange, so she paid more attention to her.
Seeing the two being so close, Liu Wentian even calling her "Guo Guo," Li Ruan felt furious inside.
How co this guy seems so friendly with other girls, but so fierce towards her, even having spanked her bottom swollen twice!!
"Ruanruan, who is he??" A guy in his early twenties, fairly handso, beside Li Ruan, looked down disdainfully at Liu Wentian and said.
The rest of the group also looked at Liu Wentian with a great deal of disdain; after all, Liu Wentian's dressing was far too low-class now, his large shorts paired with a floral shirt, a complete nerd look, unsightly and lacking taste to the extre!!
These people, all from a circle within Shenming City's wealthy youths, belonged to a smaller circle within a larger rich youths' circle, not the topmost but still quite good.
Among them, the one with the best family background was Li Ruan.
Yesterday, Qin Corporation, the strongest capital force in Guangnan Province, announced a stake in Tiange Group, instantly transforming the crisis-ridden Tiange Group into an entity everyone rushed to please.
Those who had planned to steer clear of Tiange Group due to connections with the Yan Family in the capital imdiately turned back, fawning over them since, as powerful as the Yan Family was, unless they pulled out all stops, their influence simply did not compare to the indigenous Qin Corporation.
The people present were sent by their parents, hoping to connect closely with Li Ruan and thereby with Tiange Group, as their families had so dealings with Tiange Group as well.
Li Ruan's friends were clear about their intentions; when they asked her out today, she had talked to her sister about it, and Li He replied that it was normal since people naturally gravitate towards where the benefits are.
Li He also stated that she could interact more with these people, to learn more about interpersonal dealings because, after all, Tiange Group would also partly be hers in the future.
Hence, Li Ruan followed them out.
After the group had dinner and wandered around, Li Ruan rembered her father hadn't been feeling well these past few days, and just as they passed by Rende Hall, she went in to check it out.
The rest, naturally focused around her, followed in.
The one who had asked who Liu Wentian was, nad Zhao Kaixiang, ca from the second-wealthiest family in the group after Li Ruan. Just yesterday, his father had struck a deal with Li He benefiting from the glow of Tiange Group, which had instantly increased his influence in their circle.
Zhao Kaixiang was interested in pursuing Li Ruan, which was clear to everyone present, and Li Ruan calling out to this seemingly countrified person with such surprise naturally displeased Zhao Kaixiang!!
