Chapter 684: Chapter 345: Seeing in a New Light_2
Yuan Yanan’s eyes flickered, and she suddenly revealed a cunning look.
"You guys might not know Luo Meixiang very well, since you are in different circles.
Although she is young, she has already overseen many commercial acquisition cases. It’s said that her father deliberately groomed her starting in elementary school, and within just a few years, she led several acquisition deals worth over 100 million.
To celebrate her admission to college, her father directly established an investment fund of at least 300 million for her to use as she wished."
"Hiss!"
Upon hearing this, everyone couldn’t help but gasp.
People in different circles have different concepts of money.
For them, a few thousand yuan is within reach, tens of thousands signify some capability, but bigger numbers are just a topic of conversation. In a four-year university career, except for a few who have family backing, it’s practically impossible to get that much money.
For ordinary students, Liu Yunxi is already the ceiling. A casual wave of his hand could mean tens of thousands, and he could spend six figures just on a night of drinking. This spending power is the ceiling even for people in society.
But if you put Liu Yunxi and Luo Meixiang together, there is simply no need for comparison.
Liu Yunxi just throws money around to force his way into certain circles, while Luo Meixiang, with her past achievements alone, can become a distinguished guest in those circles.
One barely makes it into the circle as a small fry, while the other hasn’t even joined but is already renowned worldwide.
"Yuan Yanan, what exactly are you trying to say?"
Liu Yunxi’s expression changed subtly, and he couldn’t help but ask.
He knew a lot of high-society gossip too, but what did this have to do with Lin Beichen?
"Liu Yunxi, haven’t you heard?"
Seeing Liu Yunxi’s impatience, Yuan Yanan retorted.
Liu Yunxi was stunned and was about to ask, but Yuan Yanan had already given the answer.
"Luo Meixiang’s family is very traditional. Her father had been deliberately grooming her since she was a few years old.
Luo Meixiang was originally supposed to attend Imperial Capital University for further studies and possibly even study abroad. But just a few days before the school started, she was transferred to Huadu by a mysterious directive. Aren’t you curious... who altered Luo Meixiang’s destiny?"
Yuan Yanan spoke, her gaze locked onto Lin Beichen.
"Most of the Luo family’s businesses are concentrated in the North. Although there are some southern connections, it’s too dangerous to send a teenage girl out to open up new markets. It boils down to one likely scenario..."
Yuan Yanan almost revealed the answer but then fell silent.
But it was evident from her conjecture that Lin Beichen was the one who had changed Luo Meixiang’s fate.
Yet in the face of Yuan Yanan’s aggressive questioning, Lin Beichen remained very calm. He put down his wine glass, closed his eyes, and didn’t say a word.
Their meeting in the lecture hall deepened Lin Beichen’s understanding of Luo Meixiang.
It’s likely Li Jiang focused on this junior not just because she had the Celestial Killer Lone Star Fate, but also because she possessed spiritual energy and extraordinary talent.
For some extraordinary masters, who had walked this world for centuries, predicting whether someone could achieve a realm was almost intuitive.
Some people might struggle all their lives with slim chances of success, while others just needed to follow their destined paths to easily reach the Death Gate.
Some considered this unfair, but this is life.
Some things are there from birth, and others are not. Striving to change fate might ultimately be in vain.
"Little cousin? Professor, you must be too modest.
In my view, you and Luo Meixiang aren’t just cousins; you’re childhood sweethearts or even engaged secretly, right?"
Liu Yunxi chuckled, his face full of gossip.
"A woman in a big family with capabilities is just a tool for marriage alliances. Wouldn’t she be less tortured if she were just a mediocre person?"
Su Manni said through gritted teeth, her tone revealing whether she was jealous of Luo Meixiang or angry at the heavens.
Chen Fangzhi’s hand holding the pen trembled slightly.
He thought of his own life.
He was forcibly engaged to a woman he had never met, and she turned out to be so domineering that he could hardly breathe.
He tried everything to escape from her shadow and came to the South, entering a little-known school.
A domineering woman with a great desire for fame and gain kept pushing him to strive and learn things he didn’t like!
In contrast, someone as gentle and quiet as Yan Fuya seemed more suitable for him.
Chen Fangzhi looked at Yan Fuya intently for the first time.
Lin Beichen remained silent.
Su Manni was just an ordinary girl. She might not be wrong, but her perspective was limited.
Everyone has different values.
Some things can’t be avoided by pretending to be unaware or ignoring them.
In a big family, one must move forward fearlessly, or else fate is controlled by others once they retreat.
When he challenged Zhongcheng Hall, wasn’t it for this very reason?
"Let’s not discuss this. Tonight, we drink and forget the sad things."
Yu Mengjie skillfully smoothed things over.
After a few bottles, the atmosphere remained stifled, and everyone quickly dispersed.
As they left, Chen Fangzhi took the initiative to invite Yan Fuya for a walk.
Yan Fuya, who had been heartbroken, was overjoyed and in tears when she heard Chen Fangzhi’s invitation.
Women chasing men is like a veil.
A girl’s relentless pursuit of a guy often invites gossip.
Luckily, her passion melted Chen Fangzhi’s heart.
Liu Yunxi left with the others but Yuan Yanan stayed behind.
Yuan Yanan and Lin Beichen stood under the streetlamp. The light illuminated her tall and sexy figure as the night breeze blew, and she hugged herself lightly.
"Want another drink?"
Yuan Yanan looked at Lin Beichen, suddenly smiling charmingly.
A goddess rarely smiled.
But observing Lin Beichen for their district activities, she found he had many secrets.
Lin Beichen had a fascinating charm, attracting her, always giving unexpectedly.
Huadu University and Foreign Affairs College were only separated by a wall, but interactions weren’t strictly controlled.
Yuan Yanan often went to Huadu University, sometimes for classes, sometimes for food.
She had seen Luo Meixiang a few times.
She was confident in her appearance and figure.
But in terms of background and demeanor, even knowledge, she couldn’t compare to Luo Meixiang.
Yuan Yanan was curious about the perfect relationship between Luo Meixiang and Lin Beichen.
"You’ve had enough drinks tonight, go rest."
Lin Beichen said calmly, waving to a black luxury car, and the driver opened the door for him.
Yuan Yanan was a bit amused.
This guy just revealed his identity, then brought out a luxury car to attract attention?
Want to win her over with a luxury car?
She noticed the driver, her expression changed dramatically.
White Dragon!
Wolf Brother’s big brother!
A major figure in Huadu’s underworld.
This man, barely in his thirties, controlled most of Huadu’s underground entertainment venues with ruthless tactics.
His worth was said to be billions, not including his backing from the White family, with limitless potential.
Such a big figure was Lin Beichen’s driver?
Yuan Yanan was shocked as she watched Lin Beichen leave, still in a daze.
Lin Beichen, who are you really?
