Chapter 124 He is engaged

"If you want to die, hold on to your phone and die far away. Don't block the road!"

The young girl in front of the bus still had a look of horror on her face, as if she had almost been hit.

She bent down to pick up her phone, scrolled through the news on the screen, and walked away quickly with a dejected look.

The bus driver drove on again, cursing.

After a while, the bus was filled with screams of young girls.

"Oh my god! My dream guy is getting engaged!"

"Is the girl who was almost hit just now also distracted by this news?"

"It was revealed a while ago that the male god had a lover, which was fine. After all, he's a male god, and every little fairy around him couldn't satisfy his personality. But now... the real one is about to appear?"

"I'll tell you what, all those little fairies are just passing clouds. My male god, in the end, he will definitely be with a goddess who is his equal."

"Am I the only one who feels sorry for that little goblin? The moment the goddess appears, the little goblin will be reduced to ashes."

Everyone started discussing it.

For some reason, Lin You clearly did not hear the three words "Shi Jingyuan" from their mouths, but he was already certain that the person they were talking about was him.

She took out her cell phone expressionlessly and opened the news interface.

Sure enough, a piece of news exploded on all major platforms, and she didn't even have to look for it specifically, related news would break out.

"The banquet between Shi Jingyuan, the head of the Shi family, and the granddaughter of a certain business tycoon will be held in the banquet hall of the top hotel in Jinggang City."

It’s a very long headline, and the reporter is afraid of missing any key information.

Lin You's fingertips fell on the screen, trembling slightly.

When the bus arrived at the stop, she put her phone back into her bag and got off the bus through the crowded crowd.

It's another ten-minute walk from the bus stop back to the apartment.

The security guard already recognized Lin You. After all, in such a high-end apartment, people who take the bus to get off work every day are always impressive.

Lin You entered the community and walked alone on the well-green path.

When I returned to the apartment and opened the door, Hu Baoer pounced on me.

It wagged its tail and meowed, rubbing against her calves to show its affection.

The furry touch, mixed with the warmth from Hu Baoer's body, finally brought back signs of recovery to Lin You's mind, which had become numb due to the rain.

She casually hung her bag aside, squatted down, and held Hu Baoer in her arms.

Tiger Baoer shuddered at the coldness of her body, and the whole cat shivered.

Lin You said softly, "Hu Baoer, we have to go back to our real home."

In the dressing room behind the banquet hall.

One of the protagonists of the engagement party is being carefully dressed up by a team of makeup artists.

There are several good sisters gathered around her.

The sisters all looked envious. Being able to marry the head of the Shi family was the greatest achievement in their circle.

After all, in this circle, they all know where their destiny lies. Shi Jingyuan has a great family background, and he is also the best looking. Naturally, he is every girl's ultimate goal.

A young lady asked the bride-to-be, "When it was exposed online a while ago, she always had a lover. Did she dump her lover?"

"Yes, that kind of character is not presentable. If Mr. Shi hasn't dumped him yet, sisters, just say a word and we will help you deal with him."

The bride-to-be gently waved her hand, which was adorned with an expensive diamond ring.

"No, he's just a toy that you pay money to support. He won't cause any big trouble. Let him be. Why bother to have a grudge against him over something like this?"

The sisters nodded.

"That's true. We don't need the money to give to beggars."

"Anyway, men will lose interest in this kind of romance after a while."

"Men are all the same in this regard. Those they play with are always young and beautiful. Just a toy."

The door of the dressing room was pushed open, and a staff member came over to say that the banquet hall was ready and the bride-to-be could prepare to make her debut.

Everyone stopped talking and walked towards the banquet hall under the guidance of the staff.

Ten o'clock in the evening.

Photos of the engagement party of the head of the Shi family were leaked. The high-standard engagement party was beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

The luxurious equipment and lavish entertainment lineup were a rare feast for the entire network.

Internet detectives have started treasure hunts, randomly picking up items from the engagement party, and the prices they find can cause a small sensation.

Poverty and wealth were brought to the extreme at this engagement party.

That is a world belonging to different classes. People in the lower class are still looking up but can never reach it in their entire life, while people in the upper class are not even interested in looking down.

After the engagement party, He Xuan and the driver were waiting for Shi Jingyuan at the hotel entrance.

He Xuan sat in the passenger seat, scrolling through his phone's address book for several minutes.

His finger stayed on Lin You's number interface, but he didn't have the courage to dial it.

Seeing him struggling over and over again, the driver couldn't help but ask, "Did you call your girlfriend? Did they have a fight?"

He Xuan shook his head and did not answer the driver's question.

When he was in KSH, Lin You took care of him like an older sister, and he always kept it in his heart.

At this time, he wanted to do something, but after thinking about it, he realized that as a small assistant, there seemed to be no room for him to do anything.

He felt guilty for watching and doing nothing.

After hesitating for a long time, He Xuan finally made the call.

The call was connected quickly.

He Xuan's throat felt dry, and he called out, "Sister Lin..."

Lin You held the cat in one hand and pushed the suitcase with the other.

The phone was clamped between her shoulder and ear, and she was startled when she heard He Xuan's voice.

He Xuan: "Sister Lin, Mr. Shi is here today..."

Lin You interrupted him, "I know, he's getting engaged today."

He Xuan's tense heartstrings relaxed. Lin You's tone was much calmer than he had imagined.

"Sister Lin, according to the habits of this circle, there are only two options. Leave with dignity and money, or get compensation after a falling out and being trampled into dust."

He was worried that Lin You would make the wrong choice impulsively.

Although both paths are extremely embarrassing, this is the social reality.

There is a saying that goes, "The words may be rough but the truth is true."

As Shi Jingyuan's assistant, he has come into contact with too many people in this circle and seen too much darkness and privacy. Therefore, at this time, he is not afraid to say unpleasant words. He just hopes that Lin You will not make the wrong choice because of emotionality.

Even if Lin You didn't understand what he said and might blame him, he couldn't care less.

After listening to this, Lin You was silent for a long time. After a long time, he responded softly.

She said, "Thank you."

The fact that she didn't blame him meant that she listened to him.

He Xuan also breathed a sigh of relief.

Lin You said gently, "Thank you for your kindness, but I won't take the money, and I won't make trouble with him. I just hope... that he will be fine in the future."

After a pause, she called out solemnly, "He Xuan."

He Xuan: "Hmm?"

Lin You choked up and said, "Please take good care of him for me."

She had no hatred, not even any complaints.

At that moment, Lin You didn't cry, but He Xuan's eyes couldn't help but turn red.
