Chapter 29
Zhou Wangjing seemed stunned for a moment, then walked towards Lin Wan.
It shouldn't be walking towards me.
Lin Wan felt that he did not have such charm that could make someone think about him from junior high school to now that he was going to college.
After just one glance, Lin Wan withdrew his gaze and continued chatting with the people around him about brands and other things.
She stood in the center, and the people around her formed a small circle.
We are all young, but because of our family background, we are always familiar with luxury goods, either actively or passively.
When everyone mentioned the petal-shaped necklace that Lin Wan always wore around her neck, Zhou Wangjing stopped in front of Lin Wan.
Lin Wanshu turned a blind eye, picked up the necklace with her fingertips, and answered their questions casually.
"Well, I don't remember clearly, I think I just bought it casually."
No one responded to her words. They all raised their heads and looked at Zhou Wangjing who was standing opposite Lin Wan.
Silence.
Deep down, Lin Wan had no good feelings towards people who had the aura of rich kids.
When she was born, Lin Xingguo's business was on the verge of collapse. The price of high-quality timber kept rising, but the price couldn't be set so high. The business's operations had almost come to a standstill.
At that time, those who used to play with Lin Zhen and were on good terms with him, instead of lending a helping hand, made fun of him viciously.
Those people are typical rich kids, cold, mean, and have no empathy.
Later, Lin Wan reflected on his own thoughts, and for a time he thought he was simply hating the rich. It was because he was poor at the time that he disliked rich people.
Later she realized that what she disliked were those rich kids. When their family's business flourished again, those people's faces would become extremely gentle and elegant.
That side either disappeared or was folded up, making it invisible to her.
In this way, everyone can live in peace and continue to develop happily.
But it still couldn't change Lin Wan's dislike, or perhaps... fear. She was too inexperienced to see their true selves clearly.
So keeping a distance becomes the best option.
Zhou Wangjing wore a pair of brown-lens framed glasses, a light green short-sleeved sweater, and light-colored casual pants.
He obviously exercises regularly; his muscles are visible through the ripples of his clothes.
Lin Wan had a calm expression on his face as he casually picked up the wine glass and took a sip.
Oops, she forgot that the glass contained liquor.
Lin Wan controlled his facial expression and swallowed the hot liquor that almost burned through his throat.
It burned all the way to my stomach, and I felt a burning pain instantly.
She didn't eat and drank on an empty stomach, and that's when problems arose.
Lin Wan took a deep breath and greeted Zhou Wangjing as everyone's gazes kept shifting back and forth between her and Zhou Wangjing.
"I've heard a lot about you. I'm Lin Wan."
We have never met formally, so it is normal for me to say my name first when meeting you for the first time in such an occasion.
Lin Wan thought about it and looked at Zhou Wangjing with a smile.
"Hello, Zhou Wangjing." He extended his hand towards Lin Wan.
In such situations, it is common for women to extend their hands first, and men to return the handshake. I wonder if Zhou Wangjing has not learned the proper etiquette, or if he is deliberately embarrassing himself.
Among the people surrounding them, some have already keenly noticed the subtle changes in the magnetic field between the two people.
They laughed and left.
That night, Lin Wan's thoughts were already overwhelmed, and her social instincts could barely support her exhausted body.
She kept smiling, extended her hand and shook his hand back.
She doesn't like this.
"I haven't seen you for many years, and it seems like classmate Lin hasn't changed at all."
The people around them dispersed, and in the blink of an eye, only Lin Wan and Zhou Wangjing were left standing face to face.
Zhou Wangjing took a step closer to Lin Wan, his movements extremely aggressive.
Lin Wan was not used to his approach and subconsciously wanted to step back and return to a normal social distance.
But she didn't back down in the end. She didn't allow herself to retreat in such a situation.
"You haven't changed either." Looking at the man who was completely different from the naive boy he used to be, Lin Wan replied without any emotion.
Her eyes were still curved, and it seemed that what she said came from the heart.
Apart from this, Lin Wan couldn't think of anything else to say.
Zhou Wangjing laughed, with the corners of his lips raised, as if with a look of helplessness.
"Then I wish you good luck in your studies." He held the goblet with his silver-ringed fingers and clinked glasses with Lin Wan.
Lin Wan knew this was a prelude to his departure, so she also picked up her glass.
The thin glasses clinked together, creating a crisp sound. The liquid within them shimmered under the light, creating a rare and beautiful sight.
Zhou Wangjing drank the wine in his glass and looked at Lin Wan.
Lin Wan was stunned. How shameless!
She bit her lower lip lightly, unwilling to be left behind, and drank all the wine in the glass in one breath, then raised her eyebrows at Zhou Wangjing.
What? Just a glass of wine.
Zhou Wangjing was startled by her action, then he laughed again, the skin at the corners of his eyes folded, and he laughed wildly.
"Lin Wan, you really haven't changed at all." He placed the empty wine glass on the tray held by a passing waiter, waved casually at Lin Wan, and turned to leave.
Lin Wan's feigned composure instantly relaxed, and he hurriedly picked up the fruit and ate it.
This wine is not something that ordinary people can drink.
After swallowing two bites of fruit, Lin Wan raised his head and found that the world had changed.
Like the film technique of montage, one picture can be instantly connected to an unrelated picture, and the two can be connected.
Smiling faces, flushed faces, excited faces - and Chen Yu's face.
Lin Wan realized that he had drunk too much.
The Lin family elders never came to see her from beginning to end, letting her walk around the party. They took Chen Yu everywhere to introduce him, so that everyone in the circle would get to know this good grandson.
But so what if he is a good grandson? He still likes the granddaughter you care about the least.
Lin Wan thought staggeringly.
Then where is her father, dad—Lin Zhen?
She felt very uncomfortable and had to go home early. But the keys on the screen were flickering, making it impossible to type. She didn't want to call Lin Zhen, as that would reveal her current state of abnormality.
Lin Wan was walking almost aimlessly, but she would still smile, nod and greet people when she met them - it was completely out of her instinct.
No one noticed her abnormal mood at the moment.
Lin Wan saw Chen Yu surrounded by the crowd and ascended to fame in one step.
Chen Yu was also looking back at her in the crowd.
Lin Wan waved at him gently and continued walking forward. She planned to find a room to rest for a while.
She would call Lin Zhen again when her brain nerves, paralyzed by alcohol, became active again.
Lin Wan set an alarm to wake herself up in half an hour.
She closed her eyes peacefully, her head aching.
