Proud Goddess Falls in Love with Me
Chapter 358 - 358 342 Destiny Check_1

358: Chapter 342: Destiny Check_1 358: Chapter 342: Destiny Check_1 Lu Chuan turned around in confusion and saw a man and a woman standing behind him.

The woman was fairly attractive, heavily made-up, dressed provocatively, as if she were afraid the attention wouldn’t focus on her.

The man looked like a rich second generation, his outfit screaming new money from every angle.

It was the woman who had just spoken.

Lu Chuan stared at her for quite a while but couldn’t recall who she was, so he asked, “Do we know each other?”

The woman’s face was a picture of disbelief as she said, “What, afraid of being recognized and embarrassed to admit you know me?

Back in high school, I was class flower-level, how could you possibly not know me?

Even if you’re going to pretend, at least make it convincing.”

Lu Chuan thought hard again but still had no idea who this person was.

Seeing the poor attitude from the other party, he retorted, “Crazy.”

Then he turned away to ignore her.

Infuriated, the woman grabbed Lu Chuan and pulled him back, saying, “I’m Xsu Ting, do you really not remember me?”

Only then did Lu Chuan vaguely remember that back in high school there was a girl who claimed to be the class flower, always flamboyantly dressed, hanging out with the self-proclaimed cool delinquents in the school, and that was Xsu Ting.

“So it’s you.

If you hadn’t said your name, I really wouldn’t have remembered.”

Xsu Ting’s face showed disdain, believing that Lu Chuan was feigning ignorance, and said, “Yeah right, don’t think I don’t know that you had a crush on me back in school.

I don’t buy that you would forget me.”

Lu Chuan rolled his eyes inwardly, thinking back to how Xsu Ting believed almost all the boys in the class had a crush on her, when in reality, any normal boy would think a girl who constantly hung out with the school thugs wasn’t proper, and basically wouldn’t be interested.

People paid attention to such girls because they were ignorant and troublesome, just for the sake of a show, but those girls often mistook this attention for everyone’s liking, thus becoming complacent.

After pondering, he said, “Stop it, my taste isn’t that bad.”

He then pulled Gu Xiaosang into his embrace and said, “If I were to pine for you, wouldn’t that be insulting my girlfriend?”

Xsu Ting gave Gu Xiaosang a once-over, immediately feeling inferior, but still retorting stubbornly, “Your girlfriend obviously had plastic surgery.

How is she better-looking than me?

You have poor taste.

My boyfriend’s taste is normal!”

Lu Chuan laughed and said, “Is that so?

But your boyfriend has been drooling over my girlfriend, does he look at you the same way?”

Xsu Ting immediately turned to glance at her boyfriend beside her and, seeing that he was indeed ogling Gu Xiaosang, she yelled furiously, “Zhang Chengfa!”

Zhang Chengfa quickly dabbed at his mouth and said, “Xiaoting, don’t listen to him.

In my heart, you are always the most beautiful.”

Xsu Ting then calmed down and looked at Lu Chuan, saying, “You hear that?

I am the most beautiful.

My boyfriend is a rich second generation; you can’t compare to his taste.”

Lu Chuan pursed his lips, no longer intending to pay attention to this old classmate.

Gu Xiaosang leaned into Lu Chuan’s ear and whispered, “I suddenly feel you’re not that terrible.”

Lu Chuan couldn’t help but laugh and said, “Keep it down, only the most beautiful woman can see my virtues.”

Gu Xiaosang pinched Lu Chuan and teased, “Narcissist!”

Xsu Ting watched Lu Chuan and Gu Xiaosang laughing and playfully bickering, feeling extremely frustrated inside.

Although she wouldn’t admit it aloud, she knew deep down that she really couldn’t compare to Gu Xiaosang.

“Although that woman is pretty, she’s young and blind, to have fallen for Lu Chuan, the heartthrob of losers.

This just shows she hasn’t seen much of the world; she’s nothing but a vase.

In terms of experience and cultivation, she definitely can’t compare to me!”

After comforting herself with these thoughts, Xsu Ting then considered another angle to prove that Lu Chuan and she simply weren’t on the same level.

She looked at Lu Chuan with disdain and said, “You two might as well give up on queuing here.

Do you know what they are testing for inside?”

Lu Chuan glanced at her and asked, “What are they testing for?”

Xsu Ting spoke with an air of superiority, “They’re testing for one’s destiny, fortune, and energy.

Only those who are truly wealthy and noble can pass the test.”

“You’re an orphan, and I heard you even worked as a delivery person after college.

You’re at the very bottom of society, completely removed from wealth and nobility, so you’ll never pass the test.”

“As for me and my boyfriend, we’re genuine golden boys and girls, the elite of the future, and my boyfriend’s family is particularly wealthy.

All these are connected to destiny and fortune.

Only couples like us are worthy of attending the cruise ball, and rich tycoon Shen’s arrangement of such a test is to select people like us.

Otherwise, if the high-end cruise ball was full of losers like you, wouldn’t it just be suffocatingly grim?”

Lu Chuan raised an eyebrow and said, “Really?

But I’ve never believed in destiny, so I still have to give it a try.”

Actually, he didn’t care about what Xsu Ting said; he was just curious as to why Shen Wansan was hosting this ball and why he was filtering for people with good destiny and energy.

Furthermore, to sign up, one must be part of a couple, which makes the cruise ship dance party seem a bit sinister.

Upon hearing Lu Chuan’s words, Xsu Ting’s face showed deep contempt as she said, “Lower-class people will always be lower-class people, no matter how you test, you can’t change your miserable fate!”

Lu Chuan ignored Xsu Ting and asked Gu Xiaosang, “Do you feel there’s something off about this dance party?”

Gu Xiaosang nodded and said, “If the organizers truly wanted only the upper-class to attend, they could’ve simply sent invitations directly to those wealthy people.

There was no need for such complications, and I can’t see why it has to be couples only.

What special significance does that have?”

Lu Chuan said, “It seems we can only find out Shen Wansan’s true intentions by attending the dance party.”

As for whether he would pass the test, he was not worried.

If it really was a test of destiny, he did not believe he would fail with the True Dragon Destiny within him.

Not long after, Lu Chuan and Gu Xiaosang entered the room where the testing was conducted.

Xsu Ting immediately dragged Zhang Chengfa with her to follow, intending to enjoy the show.

“Give it up, Lu Chuan, you’re inherently lowly, and there’s no way you could pass this test!” Xsu Ting still firmly held to her belief.

Lu Chuan, however, surveyed the room, noting several staff members and a few tables, upon which rested something resembling water crystal balls, with a vertical scale bearing measurements behind them.

“Please stand in front of the table and place your hands on the crystal balls before you.

Our device will test your destiny and luck.

If the scale’s reading exceeds fifty percent, it means you meet our requirements and can receive tickets to the cruise ship dance party.

Of course, if one of you fails, then both of you will be disqualified,” the staff member explained.

Lu Chuan and Gu Xiaosang stood in front of the table and then placed their hands on the light orbs.

Xsu Ting hurried over to watch eagerly, telling the staff, “Actually, you don’t need to test these two; they’re definitely not going to pass.

This guy is my classmate.

He’s an orphan and a delivery boy.

I don’t know how he managed to trick such a pretty girlfriend.

With his background, there’s no way he could pass the test.”

The staff just smiled and said nothing.

Zhang Chengfa also had a scornful smile on his face, saying, “Destiny and such are all linked to money.

Those without money simply have bad fates—that’s an ironclad fact.

If this guy passes the test, I’ll wash my hair standing on my head!”

As soon as Lu Chuan and Gu Xiaosang placed their hands on the crystal balls, the balls immediately emitted rays of light.

Then, the golden liquid began to rise up along the scale behind them.

The golden liquid in front of Lu Chuan and Gu Xiaosang had only risen about ten percent before it stopped.

Xsu Ting immediately exclaimed with glee, “See?

I told you this guy is lowly.

He couldn’t possibly pass the test.

You didn’t believe me, but now you know I was telling the truth!”

Zhang Chengfa also said with a laugh, “Alright, you two are disqualified from attending the cruise ship dance party, move aside so we can be tested.”

Then the staff member glared at the two and shouted, “Shut your mouths, both of you!”

Xsu Ting and Zhang Chengfa were both startled, not understanding why the staff member suddenly became so angry.

However, when the two noticed all the staff members looking at the scales in front of Lu Chuan and Gu Xiaosang with grave expressions, they realized something was wrong and dared not say anything, quickly shutting their mouths.

The golden liquid in the scales, although stopped at ten percent, began to boil within the glass columns, causing the tables to tremble slightly.

Then, under everyone’s gaze, the two streams of golden liquid shot up abruptly, instantly reaching the top, the hundred percent mark.

If it weren’t for the scale’s maximum limit of one hundred percent, the staff even felt the golden liquid columns could have shot straight into the sky.

Xsu Ting and Zhang Chengfa were both completely dumbfounded.

“How is this possible!”

“One hundred percent…

what does that mean?”

A staff member said excitedly, “One hundred percent means they are truly exceptional, the cream of the crop.

We’ve tested over a hundred couples, but most just barely passed the fifty percent mark.

This is the first time we’ve seen a result like theirs!”

The staff member quickly handed over the tickets to the cruise ship dance party, smiling and saying, “You two have passed the test, here are your tickets to the dance party.

Take them to the pier on the day of the event, and someone will be there to receive you.”

Lu Chuan smiled as he accepted them, saying, “Thank you.”

He then turned to look at Xsu Ting and Zhang Chengfa and said, “It’s your turn now.”

Xsu Ting came to her senses, snorted coldly, and said, “If such lowlife like you can pass the test, it seems the standards aren’t as high as I thought.

We will definitely get one hundred percent as well, and our reaction will surely be even greater than yours!”

Zhang Chengfa was also full of confidence, saying, “That’s right!

Now it’s our turn to show you what truly exceptional people look like!”
