Chapter 694: Rumors Are Starting to Spread
Chapter 694: Rumors Are Starting to Spread
"All of you shut up, Huang... Huang Shi, Young Master Huang, please, my guys were ignorant; they didn’t recognize Mount Tai. Please... please spare them."
Seeing Huang Shi rush to the side of that poor kid, he immediately felt it odd, telling himself, "This guy is well dressed, so why is he calling that poor kid ’Boss’ so respectfully? Could it be that this is a friend that the poor kid had hired to put on an act? Yes, that must be it. Otherwise, how could someone wearing branded clothes possibly call that poor kid ’Boss’? That’s simply impossible."
But when Huang Shi turned to face them, he nearly dropped to his knees in fright because he recognized Huang Shi. As one of the second-tier young masters in Tianhai, how could he not recognize Huang Shi, a renowned figure among Tianhai’s young masters? What should he do now? Seeing his subordinates about to speak, he quickly silenced them, not wanting to cause trouble with a super-rich young master like Huang Shi for no reason.
Although his own family was very wealthy, in comparison to the Huang Group, their status was negligible. More importantly, his family didn’t have the strong background that the Huang Group had. Who among the young masters in Tianhai didn’t know of Huang Shi, who knew the young master Huang Shi was someone they couldn’t afford to offend!
Even more outrageous was the identity of this poor kid—who on earth was he? It was unheard of that Huang Shi had a Boss. How can this... What’s going on? How could Huang Shi’s Boss be an ordinary person, dressed in such simple clothes going after girls and attending a concert in a regular seat? Was he crazy? Pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger was not done like this... Now things were bad. If Huang Shi found out about what had happened and became angry, there would be no good outcome for him today.
Remembering how his subordinates had spoken to Huang Shi, recalling what he himself had said to Huang Shi’s Boss, he really didn’t know what Huang Shi would do to him. All the young masters in Tianhai knew that Huang Shi valued loyalty highly. If Huang Shi found out how he treated this poor kid, he didn’t even dare to think about the consequences. Before he knew it, he was breaking out in a cold sweat...
Huang... Young Master Huang!
Wha... What!
How... How is this possible!
...
When his subordinates heard him speak like this, they were completely shocked and couldn’t believe what they were seeing. How could this guy be Huang Shi? How could Huang Shi possibly come to such a place, not to mention have a Boss? And this poor kid, dressed in such a shabby way, how could he possibly be Huang Shi’s Boss? What on earth was happening?
Now they truly didn’t know what to do, they could only stand still, frozen. They had all heard of Huang Shi’s reputation—how could they, mixing in these circles, not know of Tianhai’s top young master Huang Shi? They were well acquainted with Huang Shi’s way of handling things. Thinking back on their reckless words to Huang Shi’s Boss, thinking of what they had said to Huang Shi, their backs were instantly drenched in cold sweat.
Don’t lose your temper, please don’t lose your temper! They were praying incessantly in their minds, hoping that Huang Shi wouldn’t get angry and would spare them...
"Oh, it’s you, get lost!" Huang Shi, having heard what he said and recognizing that he was a buddy’s underling, was even more incensed and directly scolded him, thinking how he always seemed to run into such senseless people. He felt unlucky, but considering he’d come to see a concert and was in a crowd, he decided not to pursue it any further, as it would not be worth missing the concert over.
"Let’s go, all of you get inside!" He breathed a sigh of relief when he heard what Huang Shi said. He knew that Huang Shi had let it slide because there were a lot of people around. Now was not the time to stay put. With that in mind, he immediately hurried his dumbstruck subordinates into the corridor. If they stayed and Huang Shi saw them and got angry, they would be in real trouble.
"Boss, you come with me to the VIP seats, you can see better from there." After rebuking him, Huang Shi turned back to Lin Feng and started pulling him toward the VIP entrance. He hadn’t noticed them before, but having seen them, how could he possibly let his Boss and this young lady sit in the regular section? That was simply unthinkable.
He had intended to greet the young lady, but since he wasn’t sure about her relationship with Lin Feng, he didn’t want to speak out of turn. So, he just pulled Lin Feng toward the VIP entrance; after all, if the Boss left, the young lady would certainly follow.
"Okay, okay, I’ll go, just let go, will you? Lin Jie, let’s go with him." Seeing Huang Shi acting this way, Lin Feng knew he couldn’t refuse, so he turned to Lin Jie and suggested they go together. Besides, the VIP seats were at the front, and they could see much clearer from there. Huang Shi was offering them such hospitality, so it would be best to just go along.
"Okay, Brother Lin Feng," Lin Jie realized only after hearing Lin Feng’s words what had just occurred, and looking at the young man next to her, she couldn’t help but feel intrigued. Just who is this person? Leng Mei was normally someone who absolutely nobody dared to provoke on campus, so why does she seem like a mouse that has seen a cat today? What on earth is going on? But hearing Lin Feng speak, Lin Jie pulled herself together. Since Brother Lin Feng had decided to go to the VIP seats, she would follow suit; she listened to everything Lin Feng said.
Brother Lin Feng?
Upon hearing Lin Jie address him that way, Huang Shi immediately understood that the beautiful woman called Lin Jie was another woman of Lin Feng’s. He gave her a few more glances, feeling even more admiration for Lin Feng, thinking to himself, Boss really is something! The women by his side are already plenty, and each one called out is a super beauty. Moreover, they all devotedly follow the Boss. The Boss truly is the Boss!
However, just as the group of three was about to enter through the VIP corridor and into the venue, some more people arrived, among them Ding Wan’er and Dean Leng.
"Ah! That’s Lin Feng, Ding Wan’er’s fiance!" someone shouted loudly from the regular corridor. He had thought the man looked familiar but couldn’t recall who he was. Just as he was pondering this, he saw the genius beauty Dean Ding Wan’er behind and immediately remembered that this man was Ding Wan’er’s fiance Lin Feng, whose relationship had already been revealed online.
"What! He is Lin Feng!"
"He’s Ding Wan’er’s fiance!"
"Yes, that’s him, he’s Ding Wan’er’s fiance, Lin Feng!"
...
The surrounding students, having heard this person shout, suddenly recognized Lin Feng. Although the event had happened quite a while ago, no one had recognized him at first. Once they heard the person clarify Lin Feng’s identity, they too remembered the event that had shaken Tianhai, when the genius beauty Dean Ding Wan’er got engaged, and they recognized Lin Feng, discussing among themselves. What they were all curious about though was why Lin Feng was attending the concert without Ding Wan’er, and why he was with the school beauty Lin Jie instead. What on earth was going on?
Lin Feng, upon hearing someone identify him, felt at a loss for words. As he turned around and saw Ding Wan’er and Dean Leng behind, he immediately understood what was going on, and could only helplessly shake his head. He had never imagined he would end up in such an unexpected situation, first running into Huang Shi and now, with this delay, running into Ding Wan’er. Under these circumstances, watching the concert alone with Lin Jie evidently wasn’t going to happen.
When Lin Jie heard people recognizing Lin Feng’s identity, her heart instantly panicked. After all, everyone in Tianhai knew Lin Feng was Ding Wan’er’s fiance, and now Lin Feng was attending a concert alone with her. If rumors spread because of this, it would surely cause a scandal. With that in mind, Lin Jie was momentarily stunned, unsure of how to handle the situation.
"Sister-in-law, Dean Leng, hello." It was Huang Shi who reacted quickly. Upon seeing Ding Wan’er behind, he hurriedly took a couple of steps forward to greet her. Now that the Boss’s identity had been recognized, it was a certainty that he would have to go over and greet Ding Wan’er. Nobody had expected such a situation where three women coincidentally ran into each other. How to handle this? If not managed well, it could lead to a lot of trouble. In such a situation, it fell to Ding Wan’er to step in, otherwise, it would surely lead to scandalous rumors.
Ding Wan’er nodded slightly at Huang Shi, clearly understanding his intent. With the situation as it was now, Lin Feng had been recognized, and he appeared here with a beauty. If she didn’t handle it well, it would surely lead to scandalous rumors, which would be bad for both her and Lin Feng. Thinking of this, she could only helplessly walk over to Lin Feng and naturally hooked her arm through his while also pulling Lin Jie with her.
"Sister, your brother said he wanted to accompany you to the concert tonight. Since we’ve met, let’s go in together." Ding Wan’er said cheerfully, warmly taking Lin Jie’s hand, intending to head together into the VIP corridor. And regarding the beauty before her, Ding Wan’er was not at all surprised. She had seen this beauty before, and she had guessed it must be Lin Jie during previous conversations with Lin Feng. After giving Lin Jie a couple more looks, she took an immediate and special liking to the exceptionally pure Lin Jie.
"Thank you, sister-in-law." Lin Jie reacted swiftly; upon hearing Ding Wan’er’s words, she instantly understood Ding Wan’er’s intentions. This was her paving the way out of an awkward situation for her and Lin Feng. In such a context, she couldn’t possibly declare that she was Lin Feng’s woman. That would be incredibly embarrassing for Lin Feng!
With this thought, she immediately cooperated with Ding Wan’er’s words. But in her heart, she felt extremely perturbed. Although she was one of Lin Feng’s women, Ding Wan’er after all was Lin Feng’s fiancee. What did this chance meeting mean? And Ding Wan’er was even helping her and Lin Feng out of a tricky situation. This...
