In comparison...
Long Haochen glanced at Zhang Ruyu, who was clinging to his arm, and a hint of disdain flashed in his eyes. He quickly smiled and stepped forward, "Beautiful lady, I wonder if you..."
Before he could finish his sentence, Long Haochen suddenly remembered something, his eyes no longer fixed on the woman's chest, and he swallowed the saliva that had been drooling from the corner of his mouth.
What did that kid just call her? Miss Chu? Chu Ya... Qin!
Long Haochen quickly observed the woman's attire. She was dressed in a business suit, which didn't seem particularly special, but Long Haochen, who had grown up surrounded by women, recognized at a glance that it was a haute couture piece by a top designer.
Long Haochen himself owns very few of these clothes. Therefore, the identity of the woman in front of him can be almost confirmed.
Chu Yaqin, the eldest daughter of the Chu family!
Long Haochen went to great lengths to get close to Shui Qing because the Shui family wasn't that terrifying, Shui Qing was young and not very smart, and she was the second young lady of the Shui family.
It is well known that wealthy families love to arrange marriages between their children. Long Haochen is not good enough for the eldest daughter of the Shui family, but he is barely qualified to be with the second daughter of the Shui family.
But Chu Yaqin is different. The Chu family is a true monster family. The Shui family still needs time to develop. Not to mention the Long family, even if you combine the entire Shui family and the Long family, they still can't compare to one of their hands.
Moreover, Chu Yaqin is the only daughter of that old pervert Chu Tianxing. If Long Haochen really tries to flirt with Chu Yaqin, then we can probably see the news of the Long family's bankruptcy in the newspapers tomorrow.
Long Haochen couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Luckily, he had played the gentleman today and escaped a disaster. If it were any other time, he would probably already be being dragged by Long Aotian to the Chu family's gate to kneel and apologize.
Thinking of this, Long Haochen straightened his expression, pushed aside Zhang Ruyu who was still barking wildly, and spoke in a polite but obsequious tone: "Miss Chu, what a coincidence! Are you friends with this Mu Liuyun? I'm her classmate!"
Even though he didn't have a pleasant relationship with Mu Liuyun, Long Haochen still insisted that they were classmates and didn't dare to reveal his name directly. Rich people are often capricious, and if this Miss Chu was already unhappy, letting her know who he was would undoubtedly hasten his demise.
Chu Yaqin smiled knowingly before shifting her gaze from Zhang Ruyu to Long Haochen: "Who is Long Aotian to you?"
Long Haochen was startled and thought to himself, "This is bad." He quickly looked up to observe Chu Yaqin's expression. He saw that although Chu Yaqin was looking at him, she didn't see him at all.
Then he saw Chu Yaqin holding Mu Liuyun's hand, her fingers moving erratically, while Mu Liuyun, who had just looked unhappy, had a blush creeping onto her face.
In an instant, Long Haochen understood that this was a classic "domineering female CEO falls in love with me" scenario. In other words, Chu Yaqin was angry because he had almost caught Mu Liuyun.
"Miss Chu, Long Aotian is my grandfather. Actually, I'm not familiar with this student Mu. I was just worried he might fall!"
As he spoke, Long Haochen slapped the outstretched hand a few times.
Chu Yaqin's squinting eyes finally relaxed a little. She didn't respond much, but she didn't intend to leave just like that, because she wanted to play with the little hand she had been thinking about all night for a while longer.
Long Haochen, who was good at reading the atmosphere, saw that Chu Yaqin didn't move, so he didn't move or say anything either.
The same goes for the other students; they were merely appendages of Zhang Ruyu and Long Haochen, so there was no need for them to be in such a hurry to show off.
There's an old saying that goes, "I'd rather do nothing than make a mistake."
Mu Liuyun glanced around and had to admit that these classmates were masters of feigning ignorance. Their performance just now, which was like a bunch of brainless extras or villains, was completely different from their current shrewd and calculating demeanor.
However, Mu Liuyun was also unable to move at this moment. He couldn't even do anything to the frail Shui Qing, let alone Chu Yaqin, who could easily hold him in her arms?
He could only lower his head and let it be, allowing Chu Yaqin to do whatever she wanted with his little hands, while he endured the itching caused by the agitation.
And so, an eerie atmosphere descended upon the dinner table; only a fool would speak at that moment.
"Brother Haochen, how dare this woman talk to you like that!"
As soon as Zhang Ruyu opened her mouth, she immediately attracted the attention of everyone at the table, and all eyes were on her. Even her close friends had strange expressions on their faces.
Upon hearing Zhang Ruyu speak, Mu Liuyun's face stopped blushing and her hands stopped itching.
Oh, I forgot about Zhang Ruyu, such a talented person.
What are you all doing? Why are you all so quiet?
Zhang Ruyu noticed that everyone was staring at her, and she looked puzzled. She even wanted to take out a mirror to look at herself.
What? I look even more beautiful today?
"Don't be foolish, apologize to Miss Chu right now!"
Long Haochen cursed Zhang Ruyu under his breath, then glared at her.
Zhang Ruyu's few words made Long Haochen break out in a cold sweat. Although he didn't say them, it was clear that he had come with Zhang Ruyu.
"Brother Haochen, what are you talking about! Although I don't know who she is, I know Mu Liuyun. That woman must be a waitress he called here to keep things running!"
Zhang Ruyu pouted, playfully shaking Long Haochen's arm, then pointed at Chu Yaqin's face: "You stinky woman, you still won't tell the truth! Do you even know who this is? He's the eldest young master of the Long family..."
"Smack!"
Before Zhang Ruyu could finish speaking, Long Haochen slapped her hard across the face.
The slap was hard, and Zhang Ruyu staggered and sat down in a chair, looking at Long Haochen in disbelief: "Brother Haochen, we agreed that you wouldn't slap me in the face!"
"Miss Chu, I have nothing to do with this woman, please don't misunderstand!"
Ignoring Zhang Ruyu's tearful state, Long Haochen bowed his head and apologized to Chu Yaqin while trembling all over.
Chu Yaqin smiled slightly, looking down at Zhang Ruyu: "I found this dress on the spur of the moment. It's not expensive, only 150,000. Remember to return it to the Chu family tomorrow, otherwise... hehehe."
After saying that, she pulled Mu Liuyun away from the dining table.
Before leaving, Mu Liuyun didn't say goodbye to the remaining classmates at the table, since he wasn't familiar with them anyway.
Long Haochen breathed a sigh of relief after watching Chu Yaqin and Mu Liuyun leave the hall and head to the second floor.
Although I didn't leave a good impression on Chu Yaqin, at least I didn't anger her, so the result was acceptable.
Zhang Ruyu, who was standing to the side, felt a pang of desolation when she saw that Long Haochen had hit her and hadn't comforted her for a long time.
Men are all such jerks! In broad daylight, they actually slapped her in the face, right in front of everyone.
Moreover, and more importantly: "What kind of shabby clothes are these, costing 150,000? That's ridiculous."
