"Everyone, get on the bus one by one, don't push, there's enough space." After a brief preparation, it was half past eight, and Teng Ziwei and the others began organizing the members onto the bus. As for Lin Qingxue and her friends, since Hao Jian drove over, they got into his car. After all, it's just four people, and the back seat can squeeze in three. Therefore, Molan, Ye Ni, and Ailin sat in the back seat, while the front passenger seat naturally belonged to Lin Qingxue, and Hao Jian proudly continued his role as the driver. In this situation, although Teng Ziwei felt regretful for not being with Lin Qingxue, he didn't say anything. After all, they drove themselves here, and he couldn't really comment. If he mentioned it, others would think he lacks grace, which isn't worth it. Anyway, once they reach the destination, this group will gather together again. At that time, he just needs to find a chance to send Lin Qingxue's man away so he can chat with Lin Qingxue openly. He wasn't in a rush for this. However, on the bus, he wasn't idle either. Taking advantage of being surrounded by acquaintances, Teng Ziwei chatted up some women. The women he approached were all good-looking and from families with some wealth. Once Lin Qingxue's side doesn't work out, these women would be his targets, or as we commonly refer to as backups. His actions, seen by his subordinates, elicited some helplessness and disdain, but mostly they turned a blind eye. They calculated in their minds that as soon as they got the student council's job referral letter, they would immediately leave this group and no longer mingle with this man. Inside the bus, there was a woman who was quite good at applying makeup, considered a beauty too, but her sharp lips suggested she wasn't a good person. Sitting in this uncomfortable bus, grumbling silently, she thought about her wealthy boyfriend. "If Hani were here, we could go directly in the Porsche instead of riding this lousy bus." "But unfortunately, Hani is currently in Yuanjiang City, and we need to wait until Yuanjiang City to see him..." Thinking of this, the woman glanced sideways at the BMW trailing beside the bus, seeing Lin Qingxue through the window, with a curve of anger forming at the corner of her mouth. Why can you sit in a BMW while I, who am nobler, have to sit in this rickety bus? Inside the car with Lin Qingxue laughing and chatting with a few women, she seemed to sense something, raised her head, and saw the woman's disdainful look. She calmly withdrew her gaze, not bothering to mention it to Hao Jian. Although Lin Qingxue didn't speak, Hao Jian asked through the rearview mirror. He could still make out the woman's silhouette, but seeing her full of disdain and anger left him puzzled. Upon hearing this, Lin Qingxue sighed helplessly and explained the woman's situation to him. It turned out this woman was a colleague from Lin Qingxue's department, of the same class, named Ni Rou. When she first joined the department, everything was alright; no friction occurred. But when the department started functioning properly, friction arose. Afterward, the woman saw Lin Qingxue's charm was greater than hers, and naturally, a flame of envy ignited within her. When rumors spread at school that Lin Qingxue had a boyfriend who drove a luxury car, her envy intensified. Ni Rou also worried about encountering Lin Qingxue's boyfriend who drove a luxury car and embarrassing herself, so she opted to hitch a ride on the bus instead. Who would have thought that the so-called luxury car was just a BMW worth only a few hundred thousand?! This inner dissatisfaction grew amidst her regret, anger, and envy, leading to this scene. Listening to Lin Qingxue's voice, Hao Jian shook his head, tapped her forehead lightly with a free hand, and said, "Didn't I tell you to come to me when you have problems?" "Faced with something , you didn't tell me. Is it because you don't hold me dear to your heart?" Upon hearing this, Lin Qingxue glared fiercely at the guy who spoke nonsense, snorted, and said, "What? Do you think I, Lin Qingxue, can't even handle a woman like her?" "If I can't even settle a woman like her, then what qualifies me to stand beside you and weather the storms together?" Listening to this, Hao Jian also chuckled, ruffled her hair, and continued driving seriously. The three women sitting in the back seat, watching the intimacy of the little couple, exchanged whispers and laughed secretly, having long discarded their boyfriends. Nothing happened on the road, especially since the neighboring Yuanjiang City wasn't too far away, just over a hundred kilometers, which took a bit more than two hours at their speed. When the time approached eleven o'clock, everyone finally arrived at a district in Yuanjiang City. After resting for a while, Ni Rou suddenly looked up and gazed towards the end of the road. There, a mid-range Porsche was speeding in. Seeing a man in a sharp suit, looking very much like a successful person, step out of the car and walk up to Ni Rou, she unapologetically sank into his embrace. "Hani, how are you so punctual?" Gazing at this handsome man, Ni Rou's face was full of happiness, though she turned her head with a bit of pride, shooting a provocative glance at Lin Qingxue. This school-wide acknowledged School Beauty was someone she had envied for a long time, and now that she finally had an opportunity to put her down, how could she not use it? "Let me introduce you, this is my boyfriend, Yuan Xingming." After speaking, she looked up again at Yuan Xingming and said, "These people are my department colleagues. They are the president..." Following that, Ni Rou introduced them one by one to Yuan Xingming, but when Yuan Xingming's gaze fell on Hao Jian's group, Ni Rou's expression turned somewhat arrogant. She pointed to those people and said to Yuan Xingming, "You don't need to bother about these people; we're not from the same world anyway." Upon hearing this, Yuan Xingming's eyes flickered slightly but he didn't respond. In Ni Rou's eyes, Yuan Xingming was a second-generation rich, and typically, those of the second-generation rich were very proud. Therefore, seeing that Ni Rou didn't care, he couldn't be bothered to care either. Afterwards, under the guidance of Teng Ziwei, the group headed towards a street stall that had a reserved spot, since wealthy people are always few, especially among students. Perhaps throughout the school, besides Lin Qingxue's dorm and a few others, most came from ordinary families with just a bit of money. However, as for the street stall, Hao Jian didn't mind since he was used to eating this kind of thing, and regarding the women behind him, it was even more so. Since they came along, naturally they had to go with the crowd. But when Ni Rou heard that they were going to eat at a street stall, she got a bit irritable. Yet, upon seeing that her boyfriend wasn't the least bit impatient, she had no choice but to follow him. However, when Yuan Xingming took out a pink LV bag and gave it to Ni Rou, her discontent immediately vanished. She embraced the LV bag with joy, treating it like a treasure. It makes sense; in the world of women, this LV bag is like an Armani in the hands of men, invaluable. Moreover, this LV bag was clearly a limited edition one, with a hefty price tag. She planted a kiss fiercely on her boyfriend's face before cuddling her LV bag, fiddling with it, wanting to prominently display the logo so that others would immediately recognize it as an LV bag. However, she didn't notice the hint of embarrassment that flashed across Yuan Xingming's face while she was so joyfully showing off her bag. But he quickly covered it up, whereas Hao Jian, who was chatting with several women not far away, happened to raise his head and see the man's expression, instantly feeling somewhat puzzled. But upon seeing Ni Rou, he just shook his head. Other people's business is none of his concern, right? Sometimes, the less you care, the more things come to find you. And indeed, while chatting with the women, a voice filled with pride and arrogance drifted over. "Lin Qingxue, this is an LV bag my boyfriend bought for me." Looking up, Ni Rou was full of arrogance as she walked up to Lin Qingxue, positioning the logo of her LV bag right in front of her. But facing this situation, Lin Qingxue merely gave her a bland glance before turning her head to continue chatting with her roommates. Being ignored by Lin Qingxue, Ni Rou, who initially wanted to see Lin Qingxue's look of inferiority, felt a surge of anger, pointing at Hao Jian recklessly and saying harshly, "Why aren't you responding to me?!" "Is it because my boyfriend is a second-generation rich, able to gift me a limited edition LV bag, while your boyfriend is a poor guy who can't even afford to buy you a bag?!" Upon hearing this, Lin Qingxue's face changed slightly, her gaze suddenly turning cold. How dare this woman talk about Hao Jian?! Just as she was about to retaliate, Hao Jian suddenly reached out and gently squeezed her hand, making her regain her composure while indicating not to worry about it. "Haha, did I guess right?!" Seeing Lin Qingxue deflate from her previous anger, Ni Rou immediately assumed she had found this woman's weakness, bursting into laughter as she said, "Do you even know what an LV is? This is a limited edition LV bag, which sells for hundreds of thousands worldwide, and it's the latest limited edition model that could fetch up to half a million in recent months!" "Such a valuable bag is equivalent to your poor boyfriend's BMW, yet my boyfriend didn't hesitate to give it to me. So, would you say your boyfriend is a poor guy?!" Upon hearing this, Hao Jian displayed a peculiar expression, glanced at the bag, chuckled to himself, then shook his head and said, "Miss, your so-called limited edition LV bag is actually just a fake, not even of A-grade quality..."
