After the dinner, Ling Ze and Lian Han rode back to school together in Ling Ze's car. The young man gritted his teeth and said, "Don't you know that your brother was set up by that guy surnamed Bai?"
"I overheard Anhe saying it," Lian Han replied. "The other party exploited a loophole in the bet to win against you."
"Then why..."
“Cousin, a bet is a bet. You didn’t find the loophole, and they took advantage of you. What can you say about that? Besides, think about the terms of your bet. If you lose, you have to confess to the girl in your class and win her over. What do you two think she is? And knowing your personality, you’ll definitely break up with her after you win her over and the bet ends. How is she supposed to cope? How can she stay in your class?” Lian Han questioned.
Ling Ze pursed his lips. His sister was right. His family background was no secret. If Garcia agreed to his confession, and he broke up with her immediately, rumors would spread in class that she was delusional and wanted to climb the social ladder. He had indeed not thought things through.
"Okay, it's only six months. I'll treat her well."
Knowing he understood, Lian Han stopped there, saying, "There's a gathering tonight, you can just take your sister-in-law there. I have a car, you can go by yourself."
Ling Ze wanted to refuse at first, but then he remembered his older brother's words and finally agreed, "Okay. Message me when you arrive and I'll come out to pick you up."
It's all that guy surnamed Bai's fault! He's lost time with his sister again!
God knows that although they were in the same department, his sister was busy studying and didn't want to reveal her identity, so he could hardly see her more than a few times a month!
...
The gathering was hosted by Ling Ze and was a get-together for the sons and daughters of prominent families at Diluo Academy. They were classmates, shared similar social standing, and rarely saw each other across different departments, so it was a good opportunity for them to reconnect.
This is also why Ling Ze wanted Lian Han to attend the party, but Lian Han herself didn't want to go. She didn't know any of them.
The car stopped in front of the upscale club. The thought of Anhe being able to refuse directly and openly made Lian Han feel heartbroken. She wanted to go back to making parts.
Old Man Xing, who heard her thoughts, was speechless. Lian Han had recently been working on speeding up the production of parts numbered 1 to 96, striving for the shortest possible time. Judging by this, he was probably going crazy.
The AI flashed, and Lian Han snapped out of her daze, realizing that Ling Ze was urging her again. She got out of the car, told 003 to park it properly, and then stepped into Sheng Yan Club. She informed Ling Ze that she had arrived and asked him to come pick her up or simply tell her her room number.
Ling Ze's sister-complex was exposed at this moment. He had just invited his new girlfriend Garcia to sit down when he hurriedly went downstairs to pick her up.
Because it wasn't explained clearly, when they saw Ling San Shao leading in an extremely beautiful girl, the two were chatting and laughing, and he even patted the girl's head.
Carrie Garcia's hand tightened slowly around the wine glass. She knew Ling Ze didn't like her; she also knew that the seemingly glamorous pursuit was actually just a wealthy young man who lost a gamble and was forced to fulfill a promise. If it weren't for her… who knows who among the girls in the class would have been chosen.
She did this out of wishful thinking, hoping he wouldn't be too ruthless and directly slap her in the face, and that things might get better with time.
But now—no wonder he was so indifferent to other girls, he actually had someone he liked. So what was he here for today? To break up? And then announce who he truly loved? Garcia felt a sharp pain in his heart.
Just then, someone whistled and said, "Hey! Is Young Master Ling going to give us a live demonstration of changing girlfriends? Little beauty, look at me. I don't even have a girlfriend yet!"
"Who is he?" Lian Han raised an eyebrow.
"Bai Ze".
Bai Ze? Thinking of his cousin's name again, Lian Han roughly guessed why they didn't get along.
The girl smiled brightly and walked up to the young man. "I know you, big brother. You and Brother Ling are in the same class?"
The girl walked in with a cheerful smile, and she also had a face that was both alluring and seductive.
Amazing. She can be both aloof and alluring. Everyone who attended that birthday party kept a silent distance from them.
They dared not spoil Princess Ling's enthusiasm.
Bai Ze, however, did not have the opportunity to participate in that birthday banquet, which destined his tragedy.
Bai Ze's heart skipped a beat at her laughter, and he was somewhat at a loss for words. "Beauty, what does this beauty know about me?"
“For example—” Lian Han grabbed Bai Ze’s arm and pulled hard, hearing the young man’s muffled groan, before finishing the second half of his sentence, “C-level strength!”
Ling Ze: "...Miss, why are you so violent now?"
But why is he so happy about it? Well done!
"How did that guy become so stupid? He can beat you even with a C-rank?" Lian Han mocked directly.
Bai Ze's face turned pale. "You actually..."
“Brother Bai, you dared to flirt with the little princess? Losing your arm is the least of your worries. If anyone dared to flirt with my sister, I would break every bone in their body first.” Ruan Zhenyue shook his head.
“That’s what I’m saying.” Uncle An walked up to Lian Han. “Where’s An He? Didn’t you persuade her to come?”
"I won't interfere with other people's decisions." Lian Han smiled. "Actually, I didn't want to come either. But seeing you all makes me feel at ease; not everyone here is a stranger."
"That's a nice thing to say," Amber said with a smile.
"Just introduce yourself and we'll get to know each other. This is my uncle's youngest daughter, who is also my sister. She hasn't shown herself before, so let's introduce her to everyone now."
"So she's the only girl in the Ling family. No wonder Young Master Ling dotes on her so much. Does your sister also attend school in Diluo?"
