Chapter 300: Chapter 301 Shen Yue’s Classmate

"Wow! A feast! That’s fantastic!"

"Wow, Zi Jing, you’ve got another ride in the Kayang, I’m so envious."

Liu Feiyan and Li Yuting both exclaimed excitedly.

Lin Zijing lifted her chin and said, "It’s just a Kayang, nothing to be proud of. Come on, let me introduce you, this is my boyfriend Shao Shuai."

A man who was just a bit over one meter sixty jumped out of the car, with a round face and no noticeable chin, looking about twenty-two or twenty-three years old. He gestured with his hand and greeted, "Hello, three beautiful ladies, I’m Shao Shuai. Don’t you think I’m very handsome?"

Liu Feiyan and Li Yuting both said with a smile, "Wow, what a handsome guy, Zi Jing, you’ve really found yourself a great boyfriend."

Lin Zijing was one meter sixty-five tall and wore high-heeled shoes, making her appear a bit taller than Shao Shuai. But since everyone was classmates and could see that Shao Shuai came from wealth, Liu Feiyan and Li Yuting, who came from ordinary families, naturally had to offer some compliments.

Lin Zijing, arm in arm with Shao Shuai, said with a proud face, "Of course, I have good taste. Get in the car, let’s go find a restaurant to eat something, then we can have a good chat."

Shen Yue immediately said, "You guys go ahead, I won’t be joining you."

Lin Zijing glanced at Song Xiaodong and then said to Shen Yue, "What are you doing, Shen Yue? It’s our dorm’s gathering, and you’re not participating? Is this not giving me face?"

Shen Yue shook her head and said with a smile, "I promised to take my boyfriend for a spin around the school."

"This is your boyfriend?" Lin Zijing’s gaze shifted back to Song Xiaodong, "I wonder where Mr. Lin is employed? Does your family own a big company, or are your parents some high-ranking officials?"

In the hot summer, Song Xiaodong’s favorite attire was a large T-shirt paired with shorts, which was very comfortable, but it also gave off a typical loser image, completely different from the wealthy and handsome.

Lin Zijing asked this question with an obvious mocking tone, and of course, everyone could tell that Lin Zijing did not have a good relationship with Shen Yue.

Shen Yue herself always preferred to keep a low profile. Her appearance was similar to Lin Zijing’s, and she had always been quite popular at school. However, Shen Yue’s low-profile nature and lack of a boyfriend only increased the drive of many boys to pursue her, making her popularity even higher than Lin Zijing’s.

Lin Zijing, on the other hand, was someone with a very flamboyant personality and a strong competitive spirit. She always wanted to compete with Shen Yue, trying to outdo her even though Shen Yue never engaged in competition. But whenever there was an opportunity, Lin Zijing wanted to surpass Shen Yue.

Shen Yue never bothered herself with Lin Zijing’s pettiness, but now that Lin Zijing was talking about Song Xiaodong, she felt quite unhappy.

"Heh..." Song Xiaodong pulled Shen Yue’s hand and said with a smile, "I am just an ordinary person. Shen Yue is ordinary, so of course, she would choose someone ordinary like me."

Seeing how calm Song Xiaodong was, Shen Yue also felt at ease, especially with Song Xiaodong holding her hand, filling her heart with an indescribable sweetness. She held his hand back and said with a smile, "Yeah, I’m the kind of person who lacks ambition and doesn’t have much in the way of aspirations. Being with Big Brother Song makes me very happy."

"Ha, that’s because you haven’t enjoyed the good life yet. Let’s not talk about that now. Today, let my boyfriend give you a taste of what a real wealthy lifestyle is like. Darling, no problem, right?" Lin Zijing said as she gently shook Shao Shuai’s arm that she was holding.

"Absolutely no problem. Everyone get in the car. If you are Zi Jing’s classmates, then you are my friends."

Liu Feiyan said to Shen Yue, "Let’s go together, Shen Yue. It’s a good opportunity for us to get to know your boyfriend too."

Li Yuting also said cheerfully, "Let’s all hang out. If you don’t go, it wouldn’t be as fun for us, right?"

Shen Yue hesitated and looked at Song Xiaodong, who said with a smile, "Let’s go then, I don’t have anything else to do today anyway."

The car was a Cayenne, which had ample space. Lin Zijing sat at the front; Song Xiaodong and Shen Yue sat at the back with the other two girls. It wasn’t like the time with Miao Xuanxuan, where Shen Yue had to sit on his lap.

Deep inside, Song Xiaodong heaved a sigh. No matter what he did, he would consciously or unconsciously think of Miao Xuanxuan. He hadn’t contacted her all day and wondered what she was up to now.

They booked a private room and Shao Shuai and Lin Zijing acted condescendingly, telling Song Xiaodong and the others to order whatever they wanted. Liu Feiyan and Li Yuting felt a bit embarrassed, but under Lin Zijing’s encouragement, they also ordered some fancy dishes.

Shen Yue casually ordered a green vegetable. Her nonchalant demeanor impressed Song Xiaodong; for the daughter of a vice mayor to be so modest was indeed remarkable, and most importantly, Shen Yue genuinely disliked ostentation and aspired to be low-key deep down.

Lin Zijing’s main goal was to show off in front of Shen Yue. Since Shen Yue wouldn’t compete with her, Lin Zijing could only show off and not target Shen Yue further, which was probably why no major conflicts had erupted between them.

After eating for a while, Song Xiaodong got a call from He Wenbai. It wasn’t appropriate to take the call in front of everyone, so Song Xiaodong left the private room and found a quieter spot to answer.

He Wenbai had encountered a patient and was uncertain about the diagnosis, so he sought Song Xiaodong’s advice. Song Xiaodong admired He Wenbai’s dedication to medical skill, and thus he discussed the matter patiently with him, and as a result, the call lasted quite a while.

By the time he left the room, two men had joined the group inside. Both looked wealthy, and though young, they epitomized the image of rich, hedonistic young masters.

Lin Zijing was thrilled and said, "Ladies, let me introduce you. This is Chu Kewei, the son of the boss of Tiannan Jincheng Company, and this is Tian Hao, the son of the boss of Tiannan Minghui Freight Company. Both of them are worth over a billion. I’ve brought them here, now it’s up to you to make your move."

Both Li Yuting and Liu Feiyan blushed, unable to hide their excitement. Influenced by Lin Zijing, they too harbored vanity and sought boyfriends who were rich and powerful. Usually, they didn’t have such opportunities, but now that it was handed to them on a silver platter, they were indeed tempted. However, their feminine modesty prevented them from being as direct as Lin Zijing.

However, both Chu Kewei and Tian Hao had their eyes set on Shen Yue, with Brother Chu even taking a seat next to her, his hand resting on the back of Shen Yue’s chair, as he said with a grin, "Beauty, what’s your name? Today, Brother Chu will make you look cool and take you flying."
