Chapter - 91 The Humiliation is Real
Evil spirits!
This one was fueled by hatred at the moment of her death. She had failed to release the hatred after she died!
She refused to enter the gates of hell, and refused to go through the process of reincarnation!
Such spirits had given up on reincarnation, and offered their hearts to wickedness so that they could remain among men, and seek vengeance! These evil spirits no longer had their consciousness – they had no memory of who they were when they were alive. They do, however, only remember one thing —— revenge!
It was a long process to completely neutralize all this wickedness.
The entire morning had passed and the evil spirit in the Spirit Cage had yet to be quelled.
It was almost noon.
Chen received a pleasantly surprising phone call – he quickly dropped whatever he was doing, and sped off in his car.
It was Lan who had called. There was a jade stone exhibition, and she wanted to bring Xiaobei there to prepare for the opening of the jewelry store.
Having not seen nor heard from her for the entire week, Chen was very concerned about her. He drove like a maniac.
It was noon, Lan had arranged to meet up at a high-end restaurant. The façade of the restaurant exuded an air of opulence, perfused with a bedazzling quality. Seeing Chen's Bugatti Veyron approach, a young valet in a suit quickly ran over to serve him.
Chen saw Lan standing at the entrance, so he handed his keys over to the valet and hurriedly walked towards her.
"Mengchen!" Chen Xiaobei shouted from a distance.
Lan turned around and smiled at him. Her pretty little face lit up, and everything else around her paled in comparison. She was wearing an exquisite European coat, underneath it was a pastel yellow knee-length dress, exposing a pair of pearly snow-white calves.
She was as dazzling as ever, just like the stars in the dark sky, no one can block out her radiance.
"Master Chen, what kind of look are you giving me? Can you please not look at me like that? People may mistake us for siblings who were estranged for many years." Lan teased playfully.
"You've lost weight…" Chen said gently, still looking at her in shock.
Lan was speechless, her exceptionally intelligent mind seemed to have short-circuited – she did not know how to respond.
You had lost weight.
These simple words struck the softest, most tender part of her heart.
"Whoa! Mengchen! Could this young handsome lad be your boyfriend? C'mon, introduce us!"
A group of young men and women rushed out of the restaurant, encircling and gaping at Chen Xiaobei as if he was a giant panda.
"He is Chen Xiaobei. He's not my boyfriend, he's just a friend from university," Lan said earnestly.
"Haha, you don't have to explain! Explanations are just cover-ups!"
"Is that true? We've already heard about the both of you from Wu Junfan!"
"We all know it already... Hehehe…"
"Mengchen, you have a pretty good taste! This guy is really good looking; no wonder he could crush our Green Vine's most handsome guy, Wu Junfan!"
"Wu Junfan can only be placed in second! Now, the most handsome man in Green Vine City is standing right in front of us!"
"Not bad! Not bad! Our Mengcheng has a good eye…"
This group of youngsters' spirits was heightened.
Even though their conversations revolved around Chen, smart people would already have worked out that everything they said was to suck up to Lan.
No one even bothered to strike up a conversation with Chen.
It was obvious that in their eyes, Chen Xiaobei was just another boy toy for Lan. A forbidden boy toy that Lan would never acknowledge in public.
They could not be bothered to make friends with Xiaobei.
Chen was a little annoyed, and whispered, "Mengchen, why didn't you tell me that there would be people joining us for lunch?"
"This lunch gathering was arranged Wu's last-minute idea – they are all from his circle of friends. We'll attend the jade stone exhibition later in the evening. I didn't know how to refuse their offer." Lan explained helplessly.
"Circle?" Chen was puzzled for a moment before he understood: their circle is Green Vine's second rich generation circle."
Second rich generation, second father-is-a-rich-politician generation…
You could tell from the behavior of these youngsters.
"Mengchen! It's been a while!"
At that moment, a black Mercedes-Benz S320 stopped right in front of the restaurant's entrance. A man and a woman stepped out of the car.
The valet also hurried to the car but his attitude was not as solicitous.
The couple walked over, holding hands.
"Hu Lijing (Chinese pun, seductive woman), long time no see." Lan greeted the woman politely, though not too enthusiastically. It was evident that they were not close.
What? Vixen? (in mandarin, her name sounds like vixen)
Chen was taken aback, and nearly burst out in laughter; he nearly broke his back trying to keep it in.
"Come, let me give you a grand introduction: this is my boyfriend Ruguan – Crown jade store is his brainchild! Later in the evening, if you have any questions whenever you are buying jade, you can always ask my boyfriend. I guarantee that you will only make a profit and not lose any money!" Hu Lijing pointed to the man beside her. Her chin was pointed towards the sky as she spoke, obviously showing off.
When they heard this, the group of second rich generation kids, they quickly went over and greeted Ruguan enthusiastically.
That was how friend circles and human relationships worked nowadays. Friends with benefit would always receive a special kind of treatment.
Chen stood aside, observing the scenario indifferently.
But Hu glanced at Chen in disgust, and spoke loudly, "Lan, I heard from Junfan that you've found yourself a boyfriend? It couldn't possibly be the one standing next to you, right? He doesn't look like he is successful in any way."
Lan's expression hardened slightly, and said, "He is my friend from university, not my boyfriend. As for whether he is successful or not, only the future can tell. He who has the last laugh is the one who laughs the best."
"Heh, he's just a poor student. How can he be successful in the future?" humph-ed scornfully. She emphasized on the word "poor".
"Jing Jing, you haven't introduced me to this stunning lady."
Just then, Ruguan walked over.
On the surface, he looked like a gentleman with a good attitude.
But the fact was, his devious eyes lingered on Lan's breasts and beautiful legs –a complete shoddy uncle!
"This is Lan Mengchen," Hu said flatly.
"Lan? Oh! You are the Lan Family's lady, Lan Mengchen! It's a pleasure to meet you at last!" Ruguan put out both of his hands wretchedly.
To the eye, he was just reaching out for a handshake; in point of fact, he was actually trying to take advantage of Lan.
Touching Lan's delicate hands is every man's dream!
"Smack!"
Chen was already a little annoyed, watching this pervert irked him even more!
In one swift movement, slapped his hand and said curtly, "What is the meaning of this? You could see this beautiful woman but you can't see this hunk?"
Ruguan was taken aback and said pretentiously, "My apologies. That was thoughtless of me. Jing Jing, you have not introduced this handsome young man to me."
"I'm Chen Xiaobei, just another penniless student." Chen said nonchalantly.
"Nice to meet you." Ruguan smiled plastically and extended his hand towards Chen.
Chen stood there unmovingly, disregarding him.
"..."
Ruguan stood there dumbstruck, his hand frozen stiff in mid-air. The humiliation was real.
