Chapter 581: Chapter 581: Human Shield

Ling Feng smiled faintly, "So, you mean to say, Chu Yang is no longer considered a part of the Direct Lineage of the Chu Family?"

Chu Ziling gave Ling Feng a sidelong glance, "Can’t you just not bring up Chu Yang? After that incident, he was severely punished by my elder brother with family law."

Ling Feng smiled slightly, said nothing, but in his heart, he sneered at the thought of being ’punished with family law’.

When Miao Yuting came to Yanjing, a twist of fate had her treated as an honored guest by Chu Yang. And later, she was tempted by Chu Yang’s deception, as he tried to bewitch her to trick Ling Feng!

Ling Feng learned of these matters later from Miao Yuting herself and he even suspected that the explosion at the unfinished building was also Chu Yang’s doing!

However, Ling Feng lacked evidence at the moment; otherwise, he wouldn’t let Chu Yang off, not even if he were the Clan Leader of the Chu Family, let alone just one of the Direct Lineage.

"But what you say isn’t wrong either," Chu Ziling continued driving as she spoke, "Chu Yang is the second son of my elder brother; the eldest is named Chu Yun, who has always been gaining experience abroad. Compared to Chu Yun, Chu Yang is undoubtedly a profligate."

Ling Feng nodded, that did seem plausible! If the Chu Family had pinned their hopes on Chu Yang, they were really asking for trouble.

"By the way, which university did you attend? Are reunions with college classmates popular now?" Ling Feng lay comfortably in the passenger seat and asked.

Chu Ziling chuckled and said, "Guess which university I went to?"

"How would I know? With so many universities in Yanjing, am I supposed to guess them one by one?" Ling Feng replied.

Chu Ziling snorted, "I bet you think I attended some nationally renowned university, right? But the university I attended was Yanjing Business College, a less prestigious professional institution!"

Ling Feng was somewhat surprised; with Chu Ziling’s background and capabilities, how could she attend such a mediocre university?

But Chu Ziling did not elaborate, and Ling Feng didn’t bother to ask further.

About half an hour later, Chu Ziling’s car stopped at the entrance of Yuntian Hotel, with a huge banner hanging over it, exuding the vibe of a nouveau riche.

At this moment, at the entrance of Yuntian Hotel, stood a middle-aged man looking somewhat anxious, his face full of anticipation and excitement.

Ling Feng recognized him at a glance; this was one of the people Chu Ziling wanted to target, Chen Fu, her pursuer from university days, the class monitor back then, and one of the initiators of this college reunion.

Chen Fu was very excited; he had organized several college reunions before, but his goddess Chu Ziling had never shown up!

This time, through various means, he had finally invited Chu Ziling, which naturally thrilled and excited him!

He straightened his expensive suit and adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses, looking every bit the successful businessman.

Several attractive girls surrounded him, all his female college classmates. Seeing Chen Fu’s rise to success, each of them could not help but be stirred with longing!

Although they all knew that Chen Fu had always carried a torch for Chu Ziling, so many years had passed since graduation, and Chu Ziling had been out of the picture for many years. Maybe she was married with children by now. If so, wouldn’t that mean their chance had arrived?

"Head Monitor Chen, it looks like everyone is here, shall we go in?" a woman in a low-cut dress said with a coy laugh, "Don’t make everyone wait too anxiously!"

"Yeah, Head Monitor!" another woman joined in, subtly rubbing her ample chest against Chen Fu’s arm as she spoke, "You’re not still waiting for Chu Ziling, are you?"

"It’s been eight years since graduation and the same time since Chu Ziling disappeared. I bet she’s probably living the high life by now!" another woman said with a hint of jealousy, "With her looks, in today’s society, a pretty woman doesn’t worry about finding a husband!"

...

Listenting to their chatter, Chen Fu’s eyes flickered with irritation, "You guys go ahead. I’ve already contacted Ziling for this reunion. She said she would come if she was coming back, so she will definitely be here!"

The women’s eyes flashed with disappointment and their disdain for Chu Ziling grew even more!

During college, Chu Ziling had been the undisputed campus belle, the sole focus of all male students. Other girls, like ugly ducklings against a swan, were overshadowed for the entire four years!

Chen Fu’s heart had still not forgotten her after so many years and her long absence — a silent provocation to all the female classmates present.

"Well then, let’s go in first!" said the female classmates as they went in together.

But on their way in, they speculated maliciously about Chu Ziling, suggesting things like she must be someone’s mistress by now, easily judged as no good, and gossiping that she was slutty back in college!

It must be said, a woman’s jealousy can be extraordinarily vicious!

As the time for the reunion neared, Chen Fu’s heart was shrouded in disappointment. Could it be that Chu Ziling would stand up the event again?

Just then, an elegantly unassuming Mercedes pulled up, and out stepped a stunningly attractive woman.

"Chu Ziling!" Chen Fu’s eyes narrowed, and he was irresistibly nervous.

Chen Fu recognized instantly that the Mercedes was worth no less than a million!

"Ziling!" Chen Fu stepped forward and spoke.

The next moment, his eyes were filled with shock and anger!

Because Chu Ziling didn’t arrive alone — beside her from the passenger seat stepped out a distinguished-looking young man, to whom Chu Ziling was intimately clinging to his arm!

Jealous rage nearly tore apart Chen Fu’s sanity, but he quickly suppressed it, putting on a smile, "Ziling, you’re really hard to invite. If Teacher Qin weren’t attending this time, I guess you wouldn’t have come, would you?"

Chu Ziling smiled at Chen Fu," Monitor Chen, that’s a bit of an exaggeration. I was just tied up with some things before, and it just so happens I have time this time! I see it’s almost time. Shall we go in?"

Chen Fu glanced at Ling Feng beside Chu Ziling and asked, "And this is...? Ziling, won’t you introduce us?"

Chu Ziling looked meaningfully at Ling Feng, who inwardly sighed. It seemed it was his turn to perform now!

Ling Feng looked at Chen Fu and spoke indifferently, "My name is Yang Feng, and I’m Ziling’s boyfriend!"

"Ah, Mr. Yang, nice to meet you!" Chen Fu said, extending his hand, "May I know where Mr. Yang is employed?"

Ling Feng looked at Chen Fu with a playful expression, "First, I’d like to correct you on one thing. Ziling is my girlfriend, and I don’t like irrelevant people calling her ’Ziling’ in my presence! We aren’t that close after all, so let’s keep things formal in terms of address, shall we?"
