Chapter 1105: Chapter 1105: Delighted Chapter 1105: Chapter 1105: Delighted Luo Yuqing also saw Yang Qingyin approaching. Immediately, she put the jade pendant back into its box and formally thanked Luo Ziling.
Luo Ziling also noticed the modestly dressed Yang Qingyin and Ye Xiaoli walking towards the banquet hall. He did not go to meet them, but simply watched Yang Qingyin with a smile. It was only when Yang Qingyin drew near that he greeted her with a smile, âSenior, we arrived earlier than you.â
Ye Xiaoli silently followed behind Yang Qingyin.
Since Yang Qingyin didnât invite anyone else today, she had to be Yang Qingyinâs female companion.
Cao Jianhui, Li Fuming, and Wu Longjiang discreetly stepped back two paces, quietly observing the changes in the scene.
They thought, since Luo Ziling had just given Luo Yuqing such a precious gift and now that Yang Qingyin had appeared, there would definitely be some unusual interactions among the three of them. Perhaps, Luo Yuqing and Yang Qingyin might even openly and secretly compete.
The rivalry for the same man between two beauties of Yan University was bound to be a heart-stirring scene.
How could they miss out on such a show about to unfold?
Although Yang Qingyin was dressed down, her radiant beauty, unveiled after removing her glasses, still attracted a lot of attention.
Some attendees who had already walked into the banquet venue unconsciously came back to see who this beautiful girl was. Those who didnât know Yang Qingyin wanted to see how this newly arrived beautiful girl compared with Luo Yuqing, the main character of tonightâs party.
Of course, many guests recognized Miss Yang of the Yang Family, but they were surprised that she would attend Luo Yuqingâs birthday dinner.
But on realizing that Yang Qingyin and Luo Yuqing were both students at Yan University, they understood the situation.
As classmates, it was only natural for Yang Qingyin to attend her classmateâs birthday party.
People like Lin Zecheng were also acquainted with Yang Qingyin but had no interactions.
As a high and aloof princess, Yang Qingyin was on a different social footing, always adopting a cold attitude, so they dared not disturb her.
Meanwhile, Yang Qingyin and Luo Yuqing were very polite as they chatted, seemingly unfazed by the odd looks from others.
âQingyin, thank you for coming to my birthday dinner,â Luo Yuqing took the gift from Yang Qingyin and said with a beaming smile, âZiling just arrived. Why donât you go inside together? I need to stay here to welcome the guests. My mom is inside attending to the guests; Iâll join you later.â
âItâs fine, you go ahead,â Yang Qingyin briefly greeted and offered her gift before heading inside.
Surprisingly, when the two beautiful women met, no sparks flew, which puzzled and surprised Cao Jianhui and the others.
Perhaps, the two women reached some sort of agreement?
A mountain cannot hold two tigers, and for two tigresses to coexist peacefully was virtually impossible unless one was male and the other female.
However, they couldnât do anything to probe. Seeing Luo Ziling and Yang Qingyin heading further into the venue, they too decided to follow inside.
Hidden observers like Lin Zecheng and others were surprised that these few poor students were also acquainted with Princess Yang Qingyin from the Yang Family.
But when they saw Luo Ziling and Yang Qingyin enter the venue separately, with Yang Qingyin standing with her female companion and Luo Ziling standing with three mates, they breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed they were just acquaintances, likely not close friends.
Otherwise, Luo Ziling and his group would definitely be standing with Yang Qingyin.
What Lin Zecheng hadnât expected was that today, to give face to Luo Yuqing, Yang Qingyin and Luo Ziling intentionally did not appear together. After entering, they also didnât stand together. If he had known the relationship between Luo Ziling and Yang Qingyin, he would have been utterly shocked.
Although Luo Ziling had caused quite a stir, and many knew of his relationship with Yang Qingyin, the news hadnât spread outside.
There were occasional rumors in the school, but none outside.
âZecheng, do you want to teach those guys a lesson?â Wu Zhenlin leaned close to Lin Zecheng, whispering, âSince Yuqing hasnât come yet, anyway.â
âWeâll go over,â Lin Zecheng nodded without hesitation. However, he wasnât impulsive and thoughtless. After agreeing to Wu Zhenlinâs instigation, he didnât act immediately but looked around and then instructed Wang Qiming to prepare for others coming over to strike up conversations.
After Wang Qiming and another companion stayed back to âcoverâ them, he led Wu Zhenlin and a few others towards Luo Ziling.
âGentlemen, letâs get acquainted,â Wu Zhenlin said arrogantly as he led the way. Arriving beside Luo Ziling, he haughtily extended his hand, âMy name is Wu Zhenlin, this is Mr. Lin Zecheng from the Lin Family of Yanjing. Li Yuqing is his girlfriend; I hope you keep your distance from Yuqing.â
Luo Ziling glanced indifferently at the hand Wu Zhenlin had extended and did not shake it but replied airily, âI donât know you!â
As Wu Zhenlinâs expression stiffened, he added, âAnd Iâm not interested in knowing you.â
These simple words immediately annoyed Lin Zecheng and Wu Zhenlin, along with their other friends.
âWhat are you, daring to be so rude to Mr. Lin,â Wu Zhenlin erupted in anger, âJust a few poor students, thinking youâre great just because youâve spoken a few words with Yuqing, just toads lusting after swan meat. I warn you, if you entangle with Yuqing again, youâre on your own!â
Standing in the dark with Ye Xiaoli and conversing, Yang Qingyin saw several people approach Luo Ziling and start arguing; her eyes immediately shifted toward the scene.
Yet she wasnât worried at all.
Lin Zecheng she knewâthis somewhat significant wastrel compared to Chen Jiahai, Ling Haining, and Fang Dongxun was a cut below in status. Luo Ziling wasnât afraid of those people; why would he fear Lin Zecheng?
Thus, she watched the situation with the corners of her eyes while continuing to sporadically chat with Ye Xiaoli.
Yang Qingyin had been very low-key, hiding in the dark upon arriving and letting Ye Xiaoli stand in front. As a result, many hadnât seen where she went, so no one came up to chat.
This was precisely what Yang Qingyin needed.
Luo Ziling ignored Lin Zecheng and Wu Zhenlinâs provocation, but Cao Jianhui, standing next to him, couldnât hold back and immediately retorted.
âYou call us poor students? Open your damn eyes and look properly, Armani suits that cost over a hundred thousand eachâcan poor students afford that?â As he spoke, he purposely flashed the clothes he was wearing.
Cao Jianhuiâs show-off action left Luo Ziling somewhat bemused.
At that moment, an impatient Lin Zecheng stepped forward, saying rudely to Luo Ziling, âBe sensible and leave here now. If you donât bother Yuqing again, I can offer you compensation; otherwise, donât blame me for not being polite.â
Hearing this, Luo Ziling suddenly laughed.
