Chapter 890: Chapter 891: Resisting Temptation

Ji Huan’s face changed suddenly, she had given these two a great opportunity, but she couldn’t accept their attitude, yet she forgot her own condescending demeanor.

At this moment, Ji Huan’s aunt came over, smiling, and said: "Little sister, don’t be angry, you might have misunderstood what Ji Huan said. This matter can’t be explained in a sentence or two. Anyway, there’s still some time before boarding, let’s go to the VIP room first and then talk."

Lin Shu snorted, "There’s nothing to talk about with you guys, we are not even close."

Ji Huan’s aunt, still smiling, said: "We are strangers now, but who knows about the future? Most importantly, life is always made up of opportunities, surely we are not lacking the courage just to listen, right?"

"Who says I don’t have courage? I’ll listen, I’m not scared of you."

Lin Shu is just that kind of girl who can’t be provoked because once provoked, she easily falls for it. Song Xiaodong had warned her about this, but her personality has been this way for so many years, it’s not something that can be easily changed.

They got on an electric shuttle car in the airport, and the four of them quickly arrived at the VIP room.

Seeing Zhong Chuling’s timidness when entering the VIP room, Ji Huan felt somewhat disdainful and said, "This is the life of the upper class, we fly first class, even waiting for flights we have the VIP room, don’t you envy this kind of life?"

Lin Shu snorted, "It’s just first class, so what? I have flown it before, it’s nothing special, can you arrive earlier than us?"

Ji Huan chuckled dismissively, "Hehe, it’s comfortable, economy class is too crowded, no need to line up for security or boarding, you wouldn’t understand these privileges unless you’ve experienced them."

Ji Huan’s aunt, giving Ji Huan a glance, then smilingly said: "You young people love to bicker. Come on, take a seat first, drinks here are free, would you like anything?"

"No need, just get to the point," Lin Shu waved her hand.

The four of them found seats and sat down. Lin Shu tried to act natural, but honestly, although her family had some money, they lived simply from her grandfather’s generation and never led a lavish life, just slightly better than average.

Ji Huan’s aunt said with a smile, "Here’s the thing, Minghe has a very big family, which you might not know. They are extremely powerful and wealthy, with assets absolutely in the tens of billions."

While speaking, Ji Huan’s aunt continued to observe Zhong Chuling and Lin Shu, noticing their lack of reaction, she continued: "You might think such a wealthy family has nothing to do with you, but now there’s a great opportunity. Perhaps you really might have the chance to join this wealthy family. Don’t refuse right away, you might think that I’m referring to some old man or someone physically flawed, but you’d be wrong. He is only twenty-six, healthy, and the most powerful person in this great family."

Lin Shu curled her lips, "If he’s so great, would he be lacking women?"

Ji Huan’s aunt said, "I know you might not believe this, but someone of his status and position isn’t interested in those stars anymore. I guess, you ordinary college students, given your innocence, might have a better chance."

Lin Shu disdainfully said, "So what? We are not selling ourselves."

"It’s not about selling yourselves, let me put it more clearly, this time I brought Ji Huan back to meet that wealthy tycoon. But I think Ji Huan isn’t fully confident, so I thought you two could also give it a try, it’s truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and rest assured, you can come and see first."

Ji Huan then said, "This is a great opportunity for you. Do you think just anyone gets such a chance? Right now, if I call for it, countless beauties would swarm here."

"Is that all?" Lin Shu asked.

With a smile, Ji Huan’s aunt added, "Oh, I forgot to mention one thing. If you agree to this, regardless of the outcome, I will give each of you a hundred thousand yuan."

"A hundred thousand..." Zhong Chuling let out a low exclamation, which was more of a subconscious response, as it was seriously a large amount for her.

Ji Huan’s aunt, smiley-eyed, said, "Right, you have such an opportunity, and I’m offering you money too, don’t you think this is a good thing?"

Ji Huan curled her mouth, "Stop being pretentious. Listen, if you miss this chance, there will be no next time."

Lin Shu snorted, stood up, and said, "Well, thanks for your generosity. We don’t want such money; we don’t care about joining any wealthy family. We are poor, but we are proud."

Ji Huan disdainfully said, "Pride? What’s the use of pride? Can pride buy you luxury goods? Can pride help you enter high society? Ridiculous."

Lin Shu, equally disdainful, said, "I might think your wealthy life is happy, but I and Xiao Ling are also happy with our current lives. As for that wealthy family, let it go to hell. Xiao Ling, let’s go."

Seeing Lin Shu and Zhong Chuling actually leaving, Ji Huan angrily shouted, "You will regret this!"

But Lin Shu and Zhong Chuling didn’t even bother to respond, walking straight out of the VIP room.

"What nonsense, wealthy family, what’s so great about that, having some stinking money makes you superior? Uncle also has money, but you don’t see uncle flaunting."

Once outside, Lin Shu continued to complain vehemently.

Zhong Chuling, however, was more at peace, and smiled, "Whether it’s true or false, since we didn’t agree, no need to be angry. But you know, Xiao Shu, lately you keep mentioning uncle, do you like him now?"

Lin Shu snorted, clenching her fists, "Pfft! Like him? I just hate that I have to think of getting back at him, that big villain. He took advantage of me and I will surely repay him."

"Really?" Zhong Chuling blinked, looking mischievous.

"Hey hey, what is that look? Don’t think I don’t know, you really like uncle. Whenever I mention something else, you are not interested, just buried in your books, but when I mention uncle, you immediately put down your book."

"I... I don’t!" Zhong Chuling’s face turned red instantly.

"Ha, you still deny it, look at you, your cheeks are blushing, obviously in spring, hehe, how about you pledge yourself to uncle when you see him next time?"

"Get lost, you are too bad," Zhong Chuling said as she pinched Lin Shu’s arm, and Lin Shu ran away laughing.
