(Four)
Ye Wenyu's throat was dry as she asked into the phone, "How did you get my phone number?"
Lin Tingyue laughed as if it were the most natural thing in the world, and replied to her smugly, "Ask the airline. Of course, it's usually confidential, but I, Lin Tingyue, am no ordinary person."
Her tone was like that of an arrogant princess.
Ye Wenyu was somewhat angry, but remained outwardly calm. Sometimes, Lin Tingyue was very similar to her older brother Lin Tingfeng: selfish, self-centered, domineering, dictatorial, and arrogant, thinking that everyone else in the world revolved around them. They did not know how to respect others.
In her previous life, forced by circumstances, she accepted Lin Tingfeng's pursuit, resulting in the loss of true love, freedom, family, and even her own life. Would she be so foolish in this life? Wealth is certainly desirable, but if the price of wealth is the loss of freedom and loved ones, then she'd be content with a comfortable life, even if it meant being well-fed and clothed.
In this life, she not only doesn't want to see Lin Tingfeng, but she also never wants to see Lin Tingyue again!
But why was Lin Tingyue interested in her, and why did she invite her?
In her previous life, the vain and young woman, upon receiving Lin Tingyue's call, accepted without hesitation, excitedly and immediately. It was Lin Tingyue's invitation! The Lin family! The Lin family owned the Lin Group, a diversified conglomerate with over a thousand companies involved in film, tourism, real estate, mining, healthcare, and more. These days, saying someone is rich means "Your family owns mines." The Lin family truly did own mines—coal mines, jade mines, and more—in Jiangxi, Shanxi, Xinjiang, and Tibet. The Lin family was undeniably wealthy beyond measure.
Even a tiny bit of money from such a wealthy family would be enough for her poor daughter to live a life of luxury.
However, she is now a reborn person. She doesn't want to go. At the same time, in her previous life, she didn't have time to ask why, but now she can find out: why Lin Tingyue invited her to the Lin family banquet.
Therefore, Ye Wenyu asked in a calm tone, "Why did you invite me?"
"Because you're beautiful. You're the most beautiful girl I've ever seen."
Ye Wenyu almost fainted. This answer—she said, "You're beautiful too, and you're a woman." Could Lin Tingyue be a lesbian?
Lin Tingyue giggled, her voice clear and melodious, like a lark in the mountains. She replied, "It's prestigious to have a beautiful friend by my side."
Ye Wenyu understood. Lin Tingyue was showing off her confidence as a great beauty, so she didn't mind bringing this poor little beauty along.
Lin Tingyue replied, "You're good at studying. I only paid money to get into a vocational college, but you got into Q University, the best university in our country."
The underachiever likes the top student, oh, I see. Lin Tingyue even knows which university she got into, what else doesn't she know? She probably knows everything about her penniless and homeless background.
So she replied sarcastically on the phone, "Did the airline tell you which university I attended?"
Lin Tingyue burst into laughter. Even though Ye Wenyu couldn't see her, she could imagine her laughing uncontrollably. After she finished laughing, she said, "I like you more and more. You're so funny."
A smile appeared on Ye Wenyu's lips. That's right, she was a top student. In her previous life, because she had acquired a lot of wealth and experienced many things, she no longer had the mood or motivation to complete her studies. In her previous life, she committed suicide before graduating from university.
In this life, thinking about how she was penniless and homeless, she knew that education was the best stepping stone. Ye Wenyu cheered herself up in her heart, determined to complete her studies!
Lin Tingyue lowered her voice again and said, "Besides, my older brother, Lin Tingfeng, he's a diamond bachelor, handsome and rich. Countless girls in S City want to get to know him—" Lin Tingyue thought Ye Wenyu was beautiful, smart, aloof, and humorous, and also had a prestigious education to boast about. Her brother didn't like naive and innocent girls, so Lin Tingyue wanted to use Ye Wenyu to curry favor with Lin Tingfeng. Yes, Ye Wenyu was poor, clearly a poor second-generation heir, but if it was just for fun, who would care?
She paused for a moment, then whispered, "Wenyu, I think you're my brother's type. Come here, I'll introduce you two."
Ye Wenyu's hands trembled as she listened. The encounter that other girls longed for most was precisely the one she feared most—a chance meeting on a narrow path. Of the three reasons Lin Tingyue gave, perhaps the last one was the real reason. Her past life's experiences told her that she was indeed Lin Tingfeng's type; he loved her to the point of obsession.
Therefore, Ye Wenyu coldly said, "Miss Lin, I'm sorry, I'm very busy. I have no interest in your brother or your party." Then she hung up the phone.
Lin Tingyue stared blankly at the phone that had been abruptly hung up, scoffing dismissively. This was the first time someone had refused her invitation, Miss Lin. So what if she was beautiful? So ungrateful! She was destined to fly economy class for life! Poor bastard!
Ye Wenyu tossed her phone aside. Exhausted from the long flight, she planned to pack her luggage early the next morning, so she simply washed up and went to sleep.
However, she soon began to have nightmares.
In her dream, she was wandering alone, utterly helpless, when suddenly a tall, imposing figure appeared before her, dressed in black with a cold and stern expression. It was Lin Tingfeng!
Terrified, she instinctively tried to back away from Lin Tingfeng, but a cold wind howled behind her. Her intuition made her turn around and find herself facing a sheer cliff. With nowhere to retreat, she watched in horror as he walked towards her with an evil, even somewhat sinister, smile. She screamed, sat up abruptly, and woke up to find it was all a dream. She wiped the sweat from her forehead, patted her chest, and was incredibly relieved that her reunion with Lin Tingfeng was just a dream. But suddenly, she noticed that the bed she was lying on was extremely luxurious. Even the simple four-piece bedding was made of extremely luxurious buffalo hide. The curtains hanging not far away had five layers in total, one of which was a thin white gauze made of pure Indian hand-woven fabric, said to have undergone twelve processes.
