It had been 45 minutes since the recess bell rang. Since it was the end of the school day, the school was extremely lively and noisy. Yet, the place outside of Grade 12 Class 1’s door was unquestionably the most packed yet also the most secretive place in the school right now.
Everyone seemed to have been startled, looking like they had seen a ghost. With their mouths and eyes wide open, they were staring straight at the unbelievably handsome Ling Yun and the incredibly beautiful Ning Lingyu. The conflicting feelings in their hearts could not possibly be put into words.
In less than a week, the good-for-nothing Ling Yun who was once impoverished and fat as a pig had majestically transformed into a super handsome and wealthy alpha male!
Excluding his studies, Ling Yun was way ahead in every single aspect compared to Xie Junyan. There was no way that Xie Junyan could compare to Ling Yun in any matter.
“Well, at least there’s something that he’s not good at…” Xie Junyan knew that he was not on Ling Yun’s level on many aspects, but just this aspect allowed his full-blown jealousy to subside.
“What a pity that Ling Yun’s studies aren’t good. If not, he would be perfect…”
There were a lot of girls that couldn’t help but feel unjust for Ling Yun. It was as if they had failed their entrance exams.
However, Ling Yun had just said he was just going do whatever he wanted to in the future. That did not include studying for university. There was no point in someone like Ling Yun entering university anyway.
Zhuang Meina was staring intensely at Ling Yun handsome’s face. She could feel her heart beating faster. It was getting out of control, as if her heart was going to jump out of her chest.
Zhuang Meina had a thing for Xie Junyan. She liked that he was handsome. She liked his demeanor. She liked his family background. Yet now, with Ling Yun in the picture, Xie Junyan was unquestionably out of contention.
Zhuang Meina didn’t care about Ling Yun’s subpar studies. For people that were on his level, there was really no point in studying other than making themselves look good on the surface.
Ling Yun had saved a bunch of people and single-handedly taken on thirty men. He also took in Tie Xiaohu as a disciple. Now, Ling Yun was incredibly handsome and rich but was also shockingly generous with his money. Zhuang Meina was totally captivated by all of this and could not stop herself from falling for him.
Zhuang Meina was obviously someone that changed crushes her easily. When Li Qingchuan returned to school, she was one among his many dazed and obsessed fangirls.
Ling Yun was better looking than both Xie Junyan and Li Qingchuan, so it was unsurprising that she would fall for him
If Ling Yun was to be less awesome, Zhuang Meina would unquestionably pick Xie Junyan as before. As a result, she would have been jealous of that Xie Junyan secretly crushed on Ning Lingyu.
However, Ling Yun was at a level of awesomeness that Zhuang Meina simply could not resist. She did not see the point in caring about whether Xie Junyan liked Ning Lingyu or not.
She was just a helpless teenage girl fantasizing about Ling Yun. That was why she surprisingly did not say anything about the brother-sister duo. Her face became red and she could not help but imagine herself as Ning Lingyu. She wished that she was in Ning Lingyu’s shoes.
She was definitely jealous of Ning Lingyu, but now it had nothing to do with romance.
Zhuang Meina could not resist sneaking a glance at Xie Junyan who was just standing not far away. She felt that the only thing the only thing he could trump Ling Yun at was the little bit of family power he had.
Xie Junyan thought otherwise. After seeing this scene, a fire sparked and raged ferociously in his heart for the first time in his life.
Zhung Meina was merely just his plaything. He could not get Ning Lingyu and hence he settled for her. It could have just been a way to gain Ning Lingyu’s attention because he could really care less about Zhuang Meina.
At school, Ling Yun had been a nuisance for Xie Junyan these past few days. Ling Yun had displaced him from his former status and position in these mere few days. Xie Junyan was now the laughing stock of the school.
The word on the street was that Xie Junyan did not go against Ling Yun. If he decided to do so, he would face the same outcome as Gou Junfa — to be trampled on.
While Xie Junyan might be devious and enjoyed backstabbing and manipulating people from the shadows, he was very tolerant. However, this was not a good indicator of his temper.
Would you expect someone who likes to torture others to have a good temper?
Xie Junyan had worked hard to keep up his act for three whole years to reach his current reputation and position. He could not accept that this was all taken away in an instant.
Xie Junyan had been aggrieved to his limits and his patience wearing extremely thin. He felt like he would have gone crazy if he did not do anything in retaliation to Ling Yun.
The moment he saw Ning Lingyu carrying that particular LV bag, the magnificent dazzling aura that radiated from her created a never before seen thirst in him to conquer and win back what was rightfully his.
Xie Junyan did not even notice the look of disdain from Zhuang Meina. He started to think of how he was going to work with Gou Junfa to get Ning Lingyu beside him.
Everyone usually has their own thoughts and opinions regarding a certain issue. Ling Yun’s little act in front of Grade 12 Class 1 was all merely for show.
It was not for him. He did not need this. He was doing this for Ning Lingyu
Ling Yun wanted to tell Ning Lingyu that from now on she could wave goodbye to her old life. There was no need to struggle, to worry over such dirty objects like money and to be at the whims of others. He wanted her to have a peaceful and leisurely life.
To doing whatever they wanted! To not being constrained by money!
Ling Yun could sense different types of fiery stares coming from his surroundings. He chuckled, and softly said, “Little Sister, you carry on with whatever you have to do. I have something on so I’m going to leave.”
Suddenly, Ning Lingyu rapidly raised her head. She stared at Ling Yun with her beady eyes. There were still tears on her face when she looked at her brother and said, “I’m not busy, big brother. Let me treat you to a meal!”
Ling Yun laughed out loud. The few hundred thousand he spent today had not gone to waste. He managed to get a meal from his sister in return.
Ling Yun turned his head and gave Tie Xiaohu a looked. Then, he seized Ning Lingyu’s shoulders and said, “Well if you’re treating me to a meal, I’ll obviously won’t say no. You can decide on the location!”
Ning Ling Yun naughtily laughed and raised her beautiful, white and small hands. With her index finger, she pointed to the direction of the school canteen and then charmingly said, “There.”
Ling Yun shook his head and scratched Ning Lingyu’s tall and graceful nose. He then helped her to wipe the tears off her cheek and adoringly said, “Okay, I’ll follow you!”
Ning Lingyu very naturally grabbed Ling Yun’s arm in front of the whole Grade 12 Class 1. She snuggled her tender body right next to him and walked with him down the stairs.
Ling Yun achieved his true aim. Ning Lingyu mood was at an unprecedented level of calmness. She did not seem to care about the stares that came from around her. She was at peace. She cried when she wanted to. She laughed when she wanted to. She didn’t have anything to ask for.
For those that wanted to achieve a peace of mind, they needed a specific attitude. This was the ultimate aim of Ling Yun’s actions today.
All of this was to help her remove the barriers in her heart, to pave a straight road for her to achieve a state of peace.
Tie Xiaohu tightly followed Ling Yun and Ning Lingyu down the stairs. However, he did not go to the school canteen but walked out of the school to the gate to find Tang Meng.
Tie Xiaohu went into the Hummer that was parked at the side. He then told Tang Meng, who was smoking, “Ling Yun and his sister have gone out to eat.”
“What? He’s eating with Lingyu? Where? Why didn’t I see them come out?” Tang Meng was immediately excited after the mentioning of his goddess.
Tie Xiaohu chuckled and said, “The school canteen”
“Oh,” Tang Meng was stunned. “Why is our boss still eating at the school canteen? I can’t even…”
Tie Xiaohu did not continue Tang Meng’s sentence. Ling Yun’s mind and heart were on a different plane. They could never guess what was he thinking.
“What shall we do then?”
Tang Meng was dazed for a while.
“Whatever, let’s go eat first! I’m hungry!” Tang Meng suddenly said. Tie Xiaohu threw the three LV bags in his hand to the back of the car and then laid back on the passenger seat.
Tang Meng start up the Hummer and asked, “So who’s treating?”
The car was easily worth a few hundred thousands but both of them didn’t want to spend any money.
Tie Xiaohu chuckled and said, “Well you’re the one with the Hummer.”
Tang Meng gave a sour look and said, “Who said the one driving the Hummer has to treat? My money has been all swiped by the boss. Now my pocket is even cleaner than my face. The boss just told me you’ve pocketed twenty thousand from Gou Junfa’s grandson, so I think you should be treating!”
Tie Xiaohu didn’t want to argue with him over these matters and just nodded his head, “Just start the car. Also, tell me about what happened with the gamble.”
…
School canteen, second floor.
When Ling Yun and Ning Lingyu had reached the canteen’s second floor, the place was already quite packed. With her big beautiful eyes, she cast a glance at the table where they had their meal previously and realized there were two guys sitting there. At that moment, she felt a little dejected upon at that sight.
It was at this table that Ling Yun took eleven thousand from Tang Meng and Cao Shanshan. That incident shocked Ning Lingyu and angered Cao Shanshan to the extent that she did not even finish her meal.
At that time, Ning Lingyu thought that it was just a rare act from her big brother after he has changed his appearance. However, she did not expect that it was just a small part of the beginning of his transformation!
Considering Ling Yun’s current state, the events of that day were not even worth mentioning.
Ning Lingyu grinned and said to Ling Yun, “Wait for me big brother.”
Then, she turned around and ran to the particular corner.
“Hi! Can you please let me have this table?”
Ning Lingyu stood there with elegance and grace, giving off an extremely beautiful smile. Her voice was music to their ears. The two students at the table were starstruck.
