The Favored Son of Heaven Chapter 10

Chapter 10 - A Man Has His Pride

Translator: Strivon  Editor: Nora

Song Jia felt the ice-cold animosity during her contemplation. She suddenly shivered, snapping out of her thoughts, and stared a bit stunned at Enzo Rota who was walking off in the distance. Soon she gave a gentle smile to the Lin Liqiang who walked in front of her, “Your friends are very interesting.”

“Oh really? Which one?” Lin Liqiang tone contained a hint of animosity as well. Song Jia could have just asked if she wanted to know Qin Fen’s strength. There was no need to test him so selfishly. It was disrespectful! The situation would have turned quite awkward were it not for Qin Fen playing the matter down and not minding it.

“Both of them are very interesting.” Song Jia walked shoulder to shoulder with Lin Liqiang, “I was being rude just now. As an apology, let me treat your two friends to dinner. To make amends.”

Lin Liqiang stopped moving. He stood in place, dazed, eyes filled with eyes of disbeleif as he studied Song Jia. A while passed before he asked, “Are you really Jia Jia?”

“What?” Song Jia was frightened by Lin Liqiang.

“The Song Jia in my mind is someone who never cares about other people’s feelings. She’s someone who never admits her mistakes.” Lin Liqiang said very seriously, “You didn’t care about my feelings just now, testing Qin Fen’s strength without asking. This is very true to your style. But admitting you’re wrong? You must be a fake Jia Jia.”

Two veins bulged from Song Jia’s beautiful forehead. Though everything Lin Liqiang said was true, such a delivery made her a bit fuming.

“Everyone changes.” Song Jia’s fuming expression was quickly replaced with a smile, “Like you. The second son of the Super Beast Financial Group, one of the five major financial groups in the world. You never had any friends, but now the different you has friends.”

“Is that how it is? Well, make sure the food isn’t too expensive. We’ve never gone to high-end restaurants together.” Lin Liqiang walked as he said, “Oh right, there’s no second son of the Super Beast Financial Group here. There’s just Lin Liqiang, a third-year high school student.”

“Understood.”

Song Jia faintly smiled as the two walked toward the school building side by side. They instantly formed a gorgeous scene. The man was dashing and handsome. The girl was beautiful and stirring. They were truly the perfect match of perfect matches, but there wasn’t anyone knew that these two would never look at each other that way even in death.

Qin Fen threw himself into intensive study upon entering the classroom. His goal was to study at a good university, find a job at an excellent interstellar transport company, and become a member of the star-class transport team. He would maximize his chances of finding his brother using public expenses.

The pressure to get a job didn’t lesson a bit even though humanity had entered the interstellar era, so the pressure to get accepted to schools was still something that couldn’t be ignored. Qin Fen was in the final spurt of getting into university. Practically everyone aside from the genius Lin Liqiang, who was still as frivolous as usual, was intensively reviewing all sorts of subjects.

Song Jia spun her pen endlessly in her hand as she peeked glances at Qin Fen, who sat not afar, from time to time. Ordinary academic performce. A bit of a quiet personality. Only thing notable about him was his two-star fighting strength, but he was keeping it completely hidden. There were no records of him ever fighting at school before.

Song Jia really didn’t understand. Such a person would be considered outstanding amongst the general population, but her eyes had seen quite a few geniuses before. Qin Fen was just so-so. How did he possess a master level aura? And this aura was weakening bit by bit in this very moment…. No! It was being withdrawn!

Retraction! A more profound level than blending into nature! The entire day’s class went by without her hearing any of it. She was just thinking of a ways to test Qin Fen in greater secrecy during tonight’s dinner. She wanted to see if he was suppressing his true strength.

Time spent in earnest was time that passed the quickest. School ended in the blink of an eye, and students came walking out the school gate in twos and threes. Lin Liqiang, with an empty shoulder bag hanging from his shoulders, came to Qin Fen’s side, “Brother, Song Jia said that she’s inviting you to dinner. It’s an apology.”

“An apology?” Qin Fen froze for a moment before faintly chuckling, “It’s all right. I would have forgotten the matter if you hadn’t mentioned it. She was just curious. How can I mix in with you two?”

Lin Liqiang touched Qin Fen’s forehead with a hand, looking concerned, “Bro, are you sure you’re fine with it? It’s a big dinner, and its free. It would be a waste if you don’t eat.”

“I….” Qin Fen shook his head before speaking a bit helplessly, “I need to work today….”

To the side, Song Jia was suspecting that there was something wrong with her ears. There were so many sons of influential families will to blow away extravagant sums of money to invite her to dinner, yet they would always fail. Today she was spending her own money and inviting someone else for dinner, yet she had been rejected? And the reason for the rejection was actually work!? This made her suspect all the more whether her charm had decreased or not.

“If you really want to have dinner, can we change the date?” Qin Fen spoke softly, “Today I need to explain to my boss a little misunderstanding that occurred yesterday.”

Changing dates? Song Jia nearly lost control of her breathing. She never encountered such a self-centered man!

“How about this.” Song Jia couldn’t stop herself from stepping forward. She donned a smile and said, “Classmate Qin Fen, how much do you make in a day of work? I….”

“All right! We’ll change the date! Old Qin, just tell me whenever you have a free day.” Lin Liqiang fiercely waved his hands, simply interrupting what Song Jia was about to say.

Everyone here was sharp. It was impossible for Lin Liqiang and Enzo Rota not to know what Song Jia was about to say.

Buying Qin Fen’s time with money? Disregard what sort of reactions Qin Fen might have, and also ignore whether or not Enzo Rota would explode on the spot. Even Lin Liqiang found the attitude of using money to pressure someone intolerable.

Such behavior was insulting! Lin Liqiang forbid such a thing from happening with his friend.

Enzo Rota gave Lin Liqiang a gaze of satisfaction from the side as he patted Qin Fen on the shoulder. He pointed as his watch and said, “You’re late.”

A cool bro such as Enzo Rota was never stingy with money, but between the three of them, he was the biggest miser when it came to words. The sentence, “If you don’t leave now, then you will be late,” had been shortened into a mere two syllables by the time it popped his mouth.

Qin Fen’s eyes shone bright as he grabbed his schoolbag and said, “See you tomorrow.” He squeezed his way into the crowd of students leaving school.

“Sorry…. It seems I made another mistake,” Song Jia revealed a bit of remorse. She regretted it the moment those words left her mouth. Qin Fen was someone who was respected by the two geniuses of the school. It was truly stupid of her to try pressuring someone with money.

Ordinarily, Song Jia would never do something so stupid. It was just that Qin Fen’s refusal and evoked her competitive spirit to win at all costs. At the same time, she wanted to quickly clarify the matter with Qin Fen’s body. All of these factors together made her act so extremely.

Song Jia gave a weak smile. She had never apologized before in her life, but now she had apologized twice in one day. This was truly a miracle.
