PFC Chapter 153 What happened? Where is everyone?
Chapter 153 What happened? Where is everyone?
Su Yuan then took a few glances at Shen Baolin.
"This is Shen Baolin? Little A-Jian, you would rather choose her than me. I'm jealous."
Ning Xiaoxi raised her hand and punched him lightly, "Don't be so unserious."
[Good job, keep hitting him, this guy is asking for a beating!] Lu Sijian gave Ning Xiaoxi an approving look.
"If there's nothing else, you two can continue shopping. I have to go now." Lu Sijian wanted to leave.
Su Yuan's eyes widened: "No, you're going to abandon us? We've been old classmates for so long, shouldn't we catch up?"
Lu Sijian: "You want me to accompany you the whole time? How dare you! Go play by yourself."
This guy is so noisy, so annoying!
Ning Xiaoxi said gently, "Xiao Ajian, don't worry about him. Go and greet the guests."
He paused, then added, "We old classmates don't stand on ceremony. We'll take care of ourselves and won't go off to meet other people. We'll stay here and wait for you."
She was all smiles and spoke in a gentle voice, yet she subtly mentioned old classmates and guests, as if they were closer to Lu Sijian.
Su Yuan shrugged: "Okay, then you go ahead and get busy. Call us if you need anything."
He hadn't forgotten that Sheng Yunchao had summoned them to support Lu Sijian.
Although he didn't understand what was so great about backing him up, did anyone dare to underestimate Little A-Jian?
That would be hilarious. None of them would ever forget the fear of being dominated by Little A-Jian.
He is currently studying mathematics at Imperial University and occasionally gives lectures to university students.
Because of the high failure rate in the courses, students developed a psychological aversion to doing math problems and began to vent anonymously on the school forum.
Teacher, I dream about doing math problems. Teacher, I'm afraid to sleep. Teacher, can you sleep at night?
To be honest, he used to sleep quite soundly, but after receiving Sheng Yunchao's invitation, he started having insomnia.
I started doing math problems like crazy in my dreams, just like the students, but I still couldn't keep up!
-
Even after walking quite a distance, Shen Baolin was still somewhat dazed.
She couldn't possibly fail to see that Ning Xiaoxi was targeting their group, and that her words were all in defense of Lu Sijian.
Even if he were Ling Chen's good friend, he wouldn't go to such lengths.
Shen Baolin composed herself and said, "Jian, your classmates didn't mean to ignore you. They're all here to celebrate your admission to university."
Ning Xiaoxi's words made it sound as if they all had ulterior motives, which made her feel vaguely uncomfortable.
"Jian, don't misunderstand. We just got a little excited when we saw Su Xueshen."
“Old classmates must have a good relationship, we’re all here to support you.”
"I knew Lu Sijian would have no problem getting into university, after all, she was always number one in our class! Number one in the whole grade!"
"Now that Lu Sijian has gone to university, our class has finally achieved a 100% undergraduate admission rate, and no one has fallen behind!"
Several students, showing great insight, also spoke up.
Lu Sijian smiled and said, "Thank you for coming. I'm very happy."
Shen Baolin suggested, "Why don't we go upstairs to A-Jian's room and catch up?"
Lu Sijian: "..."
[This group of people was probably specially invited by Lou Xiao, so that I wouldn't be embarrassed if no old classmates showed up at my graduation banquet.]
[That was a bit of an oversimplification. People come here to expand their networks; who wants to close the door and catch up with old classmates?]
I bet five cents they definitely won't agree.
As soon as she finished speaking, a commotion broke out in the crowd ahead. Lu Sijian looked up and saw Lu Lingjun walking in with several middle-aged men.
Lu Sijian immediately recognized that these people were all big shots in the Yuncheng Business Association.
"Mr. Wang!" One of the male students present immediately greeted him with a big smile.
After the other student started, the others followed suit.
When catching up with old classmates, what's more important than building connections?
In just a moment, only Shen Baolin remained by Lu Sijian's side.
No one responded to Shen Baolin's suggestion, as if they hadn't heard it at all.
"Baolin, you should speak louder so everyone can hear you," Lu Sijian smiled at Shen Baolin.
Shen Baolin: "..."
She was embarrassed for a moment, then suddenly looked up and saw Lou Xiao at the back of the crowd. "Cousin."
Lou Xiao did not come alone, but with several business partners.
The two families are in the process of announcing the annulment of the engagement, and Lu Lingjun's attitude is tough. If he goes to their door alone, he might be turned away.
Therefore, he asked the president of the business association to bring him in, not as the prospective son-in-law of the Lu family. Since business is business, Lu Lingjun had no reason to kick him out.
Seeing Lu Sijian standing alone in place, and then glancing at his classmates chatting with several business tycoons, his face darkened.
"What happened? Where is she?" He walked straight toward Shen Baolin.
Shen Baolin felt a chill run down her spine. She hadn't done what her cousin had asked her to do. "Everyone will be here to keep A-Jian company in a little while."
Lou Xiao looked at Lu Sijian, his gaze fixed, his Adam's apple bobbing: "...Ah Jian."
After not seeing her for so long, he found himself missing her more than he had imagined.
Lu Sijian's eyes were unfamiliar. She nodded politely but distantly at him, then turned to leave.
Lou Xiao unconsciously lifted his foot and followed.
"Oh, Professor Wu, you've finally arrived!" someone greeted with a smile.
Lou Xiao paused slightly, then looked up and met the gaze of Mu Liangyue, who was walking at the very back.
He barely paused; his gaze simply swept over it.
Mu Liangyue lowered her gaze, her eyes somewhat dim.
Even before, Lou Xiao had never ignored her like this, as if he couldn't see her at all.
She would rather Lou Xiao scold or reprimand her, at least that would provide some emotional feedback, than be ignored like this.
Wu Qingfeng noticed that Mu Liangyue hadn't followed, so he turned around to look at her and saw the sadness in her eyes.
He looked up and saw Lu Sijian's departing figure, and quickly realized that his precious disciple had been deliberately bullied.
Although Lu Sijian said she wanted to break off the engagement, she was actually still exchanging glances with Lou Xiao and couldn't bear to give up such a good match.
He put on airs, yet he wanted Mu Liangyue to bear the blame for breaking up the two of them; it was truly despicable.
What's more, Lu Sijian showed him no respect whatsoever, not even bothering to help him up when she saw him, which shows how awful her character was.
She got her university acceptance letter through her own project, and now she wants to use her fame to enhance her resume.
Last time, however, he was with that despicable Sheng Yunchao, which caused him to lose face and almost ruin his reputation.
Now he's even manipulating Mu Liangyue, Lu Lingjun, and Lou Xiao, making the three of them take turns forcing him to back down and accept Lu Sijian as his disciple.
That's a brilliant tactic!
Wu Qingfeng became even angrier when she thought about how she had almost given in.
He thought to himself that Lu Sijian was, after all, the eldest daughter of the Lu family. Even if she was a good-for-nothing, as long as the Lu family gave her enough benefits and Mu Liangyue was willing to cover for her, he could tolerate it.
Fortunately, he met a benefactor who pointed out that he had been tricked and almost ruined his reputation.
This isn't over. If Lu Sijian dared to scheme against him so meticulously, she should be prepared to be proven wrong.
