Chapter 72 Brother Jingrun, She is Just a Servant
The auditorium is brightly lit and beautifully and elegantly decorated. The ceiling of the hall is decorated with round crystal lamp balls, and the surrounding walls are dotted with retro wall-mounted candlesticks and decorated with beautiful gold-rimmed ribbons. The light and shadow are mottled, and the carvings on the wall are lifelike.
When the music started, the pianist and the flute player divided themselves into fixed areas and started playing.
Those who participated in the welcome party were all celebrities and aristocrats, wearing high-end evening gowns and priceless jewelry.
The lights were shining, the glasses were clinking, and everyone was having a great time talking.
This place is like another world, and the protagonists who dominate this empire of decadence and extravagance are just a group of young people born in powerful families.
The school board, which had not been seen for a long time, also attended tonight's party. The chairman of Wharton School was a sixty-year-old old man wearing thick reading glasses. Facing a group of young second-generation people, he put on a polite smile.
"Master Qin."
Qin Si had neat short hair and a high-end custom-made tuxedo, and he appeared like a monarch of noble status.
When he and Bai Yanzhu appeared, they attracted everyone's attention.
Qin Si doesn't like to talk to people. He wears black leather gloves and has an expressionless icy face, which always makes people feel intimidated and unapproachable.
The school chairman was bored and turned to talk to Bai Yanzhu about the venue layout. He praised Jiang Zhiyue in his words, "That child knows the rules. The president is very satisfied. He really deserves to be our number one."
"Has Brother Jingrun arrived?" Bai Yanzhu blinked her beautiful eyes slightly, somewhat surprised.
"The president arrived half an hour early." The school chairman said, "I heard that an accident happened in the auditorium a few days ago, and Master Che was hit. The president is asking Miss Xian'er something."
On the balcony on the second floor, under the luxurious and bright crystal chandelier, Xiao Jingrun stood at the best angle, looking down and taking in every move in the auditorium.
The eyes hidden behind the lenses flashed a deep meaning as they looked at Lin Xian'er in front of them.
Lin Xian'er didn't dare to look up under Xiao Jingrun's scrutiny.
Chu Junche covered his shoulders with a frown on his face. He complained to Chu Junyue, then to Gu Zhaoye, and finally to Xiao Jingrun, "Brother Jingrun, they bullied Zhiyue again and almost killed me. What a bad guy!"
Again? Lin Xian'er sensed something was wrong and exchanged looks of disbelief with Xia Liqing.
Xia Liqing couldn't help but think of the time when Jiang Zhiyue's school badge was thrown away at the beginning of the school year. Then the student union punished them to weed, saying it was the president's order.
Did Chu Junche start to complain from that time?!
As pitiful as Chu Junche looked when he was leaning on Jiang Zhiyue's arms that day, he looked so arrogant now when he was standing next to Xiao Jingrun. He was originally the youngest among the group. Chu Junyue and Xiao Jingrun were good friends, and Xiao Jingrun treated him like his own brother.
However, Xiao Jingrun was busy with his work and was a low-key person who did not like to show up in public, which alienated him from the circle. But that did not mean that he did not pay attention to the developments of the public school and some interesting things.
"Brother Jingrun, she is just a servant..." Lin Xian'er did not expect that Xiao Jingrun would know about this. Although it was not a big deal and Xiao Jingrun was not a nosy person, Chu Junche had made the matter clear and Xiao Jingrun had to express his position. With his status and position, everyone would obey except Qin Si and Mu Liansheng.
"I don't want this to happen again." Xiao Jingrun said calmly. Lin Xian'er mustered up the courage to look him in the eye and was instantly burned.
The man's aura was intimidating.
"Hehe, Lin Xian'er, did you hear that? Brother Jingrun invited Zhiyue to the party tonight. Don't bully her later. If Brother Jingrun gets angry, the consequences will be serious." Chu Junche smiled like a good kid and chased after Xiao Jingrun. Even after he walked away, he could still hear him mumbling, "Brother Jingrun, Zhiyue is a very good girl. She comes from a poor family and her mother is mute, but she is self-reliant and has been working hard to live. I like her very much."
Although Xiao Jingrun had no intention of reprimanding her, Lin Xian'er still felt extremely humiliated by the man's words and was very angry. Chu Junche, that damn idiot, really deserved to die!
When Chu Junyue heard this, he looked calm and left with Xiao Jingrun and others.
Lin Xian'er grabbed the man's sleeve to try to stop him, but Chu Junyue's expression was extremely cold. He cast a cold and ruthless gaze on her and shook off her hand. "If anything happens to Xiao Che, I won't let you go."
"I just wanted to drive away the vixen around you. What did I do wrong? Shouldn't you control your good brother who is not good at what he does?!" Lin Xian'er was furious, and her face with delicate makeup was a little distorted.
"I will warn him." Chu Junyue left without mercy.
"......" Gu Zhaoye was playing with a silver lighter in his hand. His face was originally ugly, but when he saw Chu Junyue dumped Lin Xian'er, he showed a gloating expression. He didn't say anything, but what he meant was that Lin Xian'er deserved to be laughed at.
"Stop calling me a vixen. Don't think I don't hit women."
"You really treat that woman like a treasure and protect her as if she is so pure." Lin Xian'er retorted, hating Jiang Zhiyue in her heart again. But it didn't matter. The more Gu Zhaoye defended her, the more interesting she became after knowing the truth. He seemed like a complete joke.
"Young Master Gu, don't forget that your female companion tonight is Liqing. Old Madam Gu arranged her specially for you." Lin Xian'er pulled Xia Liqing and pushed her to Gu Zhaoye's side.
"Master Gu, you won't forget the rule of marrying someone of equal status, right? No matter how you deny it, Jiang Zhiyue is just a lowly maid who can be bullied by anyone. Her status determines her upper limit. Being my brother's mistress is a good choice, but it's a pity that you have ruined it."
Lin Xian'er had a sweet smile, a flash of sarcasm in her eyes, and the priceless jewelry on her body, all of which showed her status. The fact that she could talk to Xiao Jingrun face to face also meant that she had the capital to say these words.
"Do you really think that Mrs. Gu trained her to be a toy for you?" Lin Xian'er said again. She didn't intend to tell Gu Zhaoye the final answer. She just let this guy with low IQ and a stupid brain figure it out on his own.
"I wish you and Liqing happiness. I'm looking forward to good things happening to you." Before she left, she tore off the last layer of fig leaf.
Gu Zhaoye stared at her fiercely. Xia Liqing reached out to hold the young man's arm, but before she touched him, the young master left angrily.
Xia Liqing lowered her head and stood there silently, not knowing what she was thinking.
