Chapter 683: Chapter 345: Seeing in a New Light
Liu Yunxi was dumbfounded, staring at Lin Beichen with an extremely complicated expression, as if she had never known him.
"Professor, Brother Lang is a Double Flower Red Pole, even the top bosses ask him for help. He’s a registered figure in the Bai Family. Who exactly are you?"
Liu Yunxi asked, her eyes wide open, as if she wanted to see through Lin Beichen.
Lin Beichen looked at them indifferently and smiled without saying anything.
"Lin Beichen, tell us the truth. Are you a member of the Bai Family? You are younger than Brother Lang, he has no reason to be afraid of you!
Unless you’re from the main branch of the Bai Family. Even if not, you must be one of the Eight Major Commercial Families, right?"
Yuan Yanan silently looked at Lin Beichen. After a long time, she suddenly said:
"Although Brother Lang is not from the main branch, he is one of the best among the collateral branches. Yet seeing you scared him out of his wits. Your status within the Eight Major Families must not be much lower than Bai Yunfei’s, right?"
"You could say you’re half right."
Lin Beichen looked at everyone, thought for a moment, and then said calmly:
"It’s a normal reaction for him to be scared of me. If he falls into my hands again, it wouldn’t be just a lesson. His little life might not even be guaranteed."
"The big families enjoy too many resources but also bear more responsibilities.
He always causes trouble and could involve the family. If Bai Yunfei finds out, there’s no need for me to add any embellishments. He will naturally eliminate this idiot for the sake of family interests."
Upon hearing this, everyone sighed in relief.
They thought Brother Lang was really afraid of Lin Beichen, but after Lin Beichen’s explanation, they realized that Brother Lang feared his own family’s strict rules, not Lin Beichen.
But even so, they didn’t dare to underestimate Lin Beichen anymore.
The Eight Major Commercial Families of the Imperial Capital are traditional Northern forces, while this is the South. Seemingly separated by mountains and rivers, seemingly in different territories, the Imperial Capital remains the center of the country.
Which of the families that can stand firm in the Imperial Capital doesn’t have incredible skills?
To these families, money is nothing but a pure number.
Su Manni’s eyes were slightly glowing, filled with uncontrollable excitement.
This dorm of Liu Yunxi’s was full of surprises.
At first, she thought Liu Yunxi was the only golden bachelor in this dorm. Soon after, another one, Chen Fangzhi, emerged. Just when she felt regretful as Chen Fangzhi was taken by someone else, another more powerful one, Lin Beichen, appeared.
Liu Yunxi had already been taken, Chen Fangzhi too. This time, she absolutely couldn’t miss out.
Su Manni secretly encouraged herself.
Yuan Yanan’s expression was complicated, but she was not too shocked.
Lin Beichen did exceed her expectations, but it only surprised her, not shocked her.
Even if Lin Beichen’s status was the same as Bai Yunfei’s, so what?
Compared to her boyfriend, who was extraordinarily powerful, Lin Beichen’s status was insignificant.
After Brother Lang left, Su Manni seemed to become a different person, suddenly much more enthusiastic towards Lin Beichen, frequently proposing toasts. Even if Lin Beichen didn’t drink, she accompanied him with alcohol, her beautiful eyes constantly on him, pondering something.
Su Manni was already a sexy and passionate girl. Now, with this proactive attitude, even Liu Yunxi found it hard to handle.
Yuan Yanan looked at Su Manni’s enthusiastic appearance, her delicate brows slightly furrowed.
She indeed had no feelings for Lin Beichen, but from the first gathering, she had been paired with him.
Even if she had no feelings for Lin Beichen, people naturally possess a sense of possession over excellent members of the opposite sex.
"Professor, you are the most unfathomable big shot in our dorm. I offended you before; this drink is for you."
Liu Yunxi said, full of embarrassment. Without waiting for Lin Beichen to respond, he lifted his glass to apologize.
Earlier, he wavered, influenced by Yu Mengjie, almost causing a rift with Lin Beichen.
Lin Beichen nodded, not taking it to heart.
If he were still a young, hot-blooded, and naive student, he would indeed bear a grudge, but he had long seen the chaos of the world.
Liu Yunxi, despite the intense pressure, still kept a trace of kindness and was willing to stand up for an ordinary person. This was already a rare quality in the world.
"It’s nothing. We’re friends in the same dorm."
For the first time since entering the bar, Lin Beichen raised his glass and clinked with Liu Yunxi.
Liu Yunxi, despite being frivolous and reckless, was ultimately a rich young man with principles. By comparison, Yu Mengjie was somewhat undeserving of him.
Yu Mengjie stood aside, her face full of embarrassment.
Chen Fangzhi silently observed everything, still engrossed in his studies, occasionally glancing at Lin Beichen with a peculiar smile on his lips.
"Lin Beichen, is Luo Meixiang really your cousin?"
Yuan Yanan suddenly asked.
Everyone was instantly stunned, putting down their glasses and silently looking at Lin Beichen.
Sitting next to Yuan Yanan, Su Manni’s eyes were filled with tension, as if Lin Beichen’s answer concerned her future happiness.
"I’ve said it before, do I need to lie?"
Lin Beichen said helplessly.
"Although Luo Meixiang transferred to Huadu University temporarily, she quickly became the school beauty of Huadu University.
Not only at school, but she was also even named the most elegant and stylish student of the year by a well-known magazine in Huadu. Many famous rich young men were impressed by her and wanted to pursue her."
