Chapter 89
Because Song Luokui had been pondering things late into the night, she woke up late. "Oh no, I'm going to be late!"
Song Luokui rushed downstairs in a hurry. She grabbed a steamed bun from the table and left immediately. As soon as she got into the car, she said, "Uncle An, hurry up!"
Uncle An stepped on the gas and drove away. By the time they reached the gates of the Faculty of Liberal Arts, the bell had already rung. Song Luokui dashed into the classroom. The professor was about to start the lecture. She snuck in through the back door and took a seat at the very last row.
The professor didn't notice her. Song Luokui heaved a sigh of relief. Xu Jiarong, sitting in front of her, turned around and said, "The professor didn't take attendance."
Song Luokui replied, "Thanks."
She rested for a bit before focusing on the lecture.
During the lunch break after class, Song Luokui returned to her dorm room. The others hadn't come back yet. Li Bei, her assistant, messaged her about the house renovation, asking some detailed questions.
Song Luokui thought to herself that she could check on the renovation progress after class. That way, if Chi Yu asked if she was free or wanted to meet up for answers, she would have an excuse to say she was busy today.Follow the latest novels at novelhall.com
After all, she could procrastinate for one more day!
Song Luokui nodded to herself, that's the plan!
Meanwhile, Chi Yu was in a private dining room at a restaurant. He had achieved several major deals during this business trip, so he invited his brothers to celebrate upon his return. As for why they weren't having dinner, it was obvious that he wanted to have dinner with Song Luokui in the evening.
Chi Yu was messaging Song Luokui: "Are you done with classes? Should I pick you up from school this afternoon?"
The joy was evident in his eyes and expression. Chen Nan, who had drunk too much, went out to relieve himself. One of the younger brothers happened to pass by Chi Yu from behind and accidentally caught a glimpse of the Boss sending a message to a girl.
A girl?
The profile picture clearly belonged to a girl, and the contact name seemed to be something like "Cute XX."
The young brother sat down, grinning at Chi Yu. "Boss, are we going to have a sister-in-law?"
Chi Yu glanced at him but didn't deny it. The other brothers immediately turned their attention towards them. "No wonder the Boss has been in such a good mood today. It turns out he has a girlfriend!"
"Really? Whose daughter is she? To be with the Boss, she must be a stunning beauty!"
"It doesn't matter if she's beautiful or not. What's important is that the Boss likes her."
"Exactly!"
"Boss, when are you going to introduce her to us? I want to meet our sister-in-law."
Chi Yu looked up at them. "When there's an opportunity."
"Wow!"" Everyone became excited upon hearing this.
She then checked the group chat with Weng Jiao and the others, where they were all discussing this matter. Messages from Weng Jiao, Sa Sa, and others kept pouring in one after another.
"Did you hear that guy has a girlfriend now? Someone from our circle, studying abroad."
"Which guy?"
"The young master of the Chi Family, who else?"
"Doesn't this mean that Tea Sister is crying now?"
"Tea Sister is old news. He doesn't even pay attention to her anymore. She's clinging to the young master of the Wei Family now."
"So who is it then? Who's studying abroad?"
"It's either the Leng Family or the Lan Family. People think these two families have a higher chance. The Leng Family is more likely - first, they have a good relationship with the Chi Family, and second, the Leng Family's daughter is studying in City N, Country A, which is where that guy often goes on business trips. That's what people are saying."
"Why can't it be someone from within the country?"
"Impossible. If she were from here, people would have found out by now."
They then discussed more details, like how the Leng Family's daughter once posted on her social media about meeting a "certain brother" and saying he was very handsome, blah blah blah.
As Song Luokui read these messages, she was fuming with rage! Initially, she thought there might be a misunderstanding, but then the evidence kept piling up, especially since it was one of his own subordinates who leaked the information. How could it be false? She wondered what Chi Yu saw in her - her looks? Or did he see her as a way to humiliate her and get revenge on her brother, Song Luosheng?
Hmph! Scumbag!
Yes, the books always talked about how the male lead would slap the villains and win over his subordinates, but there were bound to be temptations from women in between!
Song Luokui immediately recalled that Chi Yu did frequently travel abroad, supposedly for business and collaborations. But could he really be that pure and not seek out women?
Song Luokui immediately found Chi Yu's contact. He even had the nerve to message her during lunch, that scumbag! Block him!
Song Luokui blocked him right away!
Thinking about the gifts he had given her, she was glad she didn't wear that necklace today. Otherwise, it would be tainted and filthy!
When she got back, she would throw away all his gifts!
She still felt uneasy, so she decided to block his number too.
Xu Jiarong, sitting next to her, could sense her anger. She asked cautiously, "What's wrong?"
Song Luokui's voice was cold. "Nothing. I just saw something filthy and disgusting."
Xu Jiarong: ...?
