Chapter 477: You Don't Need to Know

Long ago, Lin Yang knew the two had a close relationship, but he kept comforting himself that Shen Yan liked Hao Anqi and it was impossible for him to end up with Wu Yueer.

However, such delusions finally shattered today.

During the summer break, Wu Yueer, who was from the Northeast, didn't go home, but instead was eating hot pot in Shanghai with another man; you didn't need a brain to know what was going on.

Sob sob sob! The goddess had been screwed by someone after all.

And not just once or twice; it was very likely she had been getting screwed the entire summer.

Thinking of this, Lin Yang clenched his fists, his knuckles turning white from the force.

I really want to slash this dog of a man!

After the initial shock, Shen Yan and Wu Yueer quickly returned to normal, the two of them exchanging a glance.

Another old trick.

Seeing Lin Yang standing there like a statue with his eyes spitting fire and not saying a word, Shen Yan was momentarily speechless.

What kind of situation was this?

Either throw a tantrum on the spot or turn around and leave; wasn't it awkward just standing there?

Fortunately, the stalemate was broken by someone at this moment.

Lin Yang's father walked up with great enthusiasm and said in surprise, "Hello, classmate Shen Yan, I didn't expect to run into you here. Are you here in Shanghai for a trip?"

Shen Yan responded politely, "No, my home is nearby."

Lin father was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized; with Shen Yan's net worth, it was no surprise he bought a house in Shanghai.

From May Day until now, through word of mouth, Kuaida Delivery had swept across all of Shanghai like a whirlwind, and many young people at the Property Rights Trading Center where Lin father worked had ordered from them.

Once, he even heard his colleagues discussing: "I feel like I've lived my life in vain these years, I can't even compare to a student."

Passerby A: "Who's to say otherwise? The money they make in a day is worth our whole lifetime."

Lin father asked curiously, "Who are you all talking about?"

Passerby A: "The founder of Kuaida Delivery, of course. I heard he's a student currently at Hangzhou University. Sigh! Lao Lin, you say we're all human, why is the gap so big?

By the way, isn't your son at Hangzhou University? Maybe he even knows the guy."

Lin father was stunned. Kuaida Delivery was founded by a college student? Really?

He searched online.

His eyes nearly popped out of his head; wasn't this his son's classmate, Shen Yan, whom he had met twice before?

He had created such a food delivery website that was all the rage in Shanghai at only 19 years old.

Sugoi!

Looking back at his own blockhead son who only knew how to ask for money, Lin father had the urge to treat his firstborn as a failure and try for a second child.

At the same time, he didn't forget to brag to his colleagues that Shen Yan was his son's classmate, and that the other party had to respectfully call him 'Uncle' when they met.

His colleagues were full of envy, saying, "Lao Lin, you're really lucky. Your son has such a heaven-sent genius for a classmate. If he just gives your son a little boost, your son will surely soar to the skies, and you'll get to enjoy the good life along with him."

Passerby A: "Exactly, Lao Lin, you can't forget us when you make it big later."

Lin father: "What nonsense are you talking about? It hasn't even happened yet."

Although he said that, Lin father couldn't suppress his inner joy.

Just based on the fact that Shen Yan personally came to get Lin Yang out when he was in the Police Station, their relationship definitely wasn't bad; maybe the Lin family really was about to soar to the skies.

So, he wasted no time sending a message to his son, telling him to get on good terms with Shen Yan.

Lin Yang just gave a perfunctory reply, saying he knew, he knew.

Lin father took it for the truth, fantasizing about the day his son reached the pinnacle of life.

Now seeing Shen Yan, Lin father naturally couldn't help but butter him up: "Classmate Shen Yan, the delivery platform you created is truly convenient. I place orders myself quite often, and I've been highly recommending the platform to my colleagues."

Having spent many years in society, Lin father's ability to say what people wanted to hear had been honed to perfection.

"You're too kind, Uncle Lin!"

Shen Yan smiled faintly, responding in a lukewarm manner.

Lin father was delighted to be called that, but when he noticed Wu Yueer opposite them, his interest, which had been fading with middle age, burned wildly.

Damn! This woman is really hot.

She was as beautiful as a fairy, and her figure was drop-dead gorgeous.

He was momentarily dazed.

Beside him, Lin mother couldn't help but pinch his waist, cursing inwardly: "Dead man, you're old and still looking at young girls, do you really think I don't exist?"

Realizing he had been inappropriate, Lin father blushed.

He hurriedly tried to make amends: "Classmate Shen Yan, this must be your girlfriend, right? She's so pretty; you two standing together really are a perfect match."

As he spoke, he glanced at his wife out of the corner of his eye, trying to observe her reaction.

Lin mother's expression remained somewhat gloomy, but she didn't lash out.

Wu Yueer and Shen Yan both smiled faintly and didn't take it to heart; only Lin Yang couldn't stand his father's sycophancy, which made him feel he had lost all face.

He was being looked down upon for no reason.

And his father actually praised Shen Yan and Wu Yueer as a perfect match; wasn't this like stabbing a knife straight into his heart?

"Dad, are we still going to eat or not?" Lin Yang's tone was filled with impatience.

In the past, Lin father would have certainly lost his temper and let this brat know what fatherly love was, but now he turned a deaf ear and climbed up the pole.

"Shen Yan, you and Lin Yang are classmates. It's rare to run into each other, why don't we share a table? Uncle will treat you all to a good meal today."

Lin Yang didn't stop him; instead, a hint of playfulness flashed in his eyes.

Sharing a table was fine too.

He wanted to see if these two could even eat their meal while facing someone they had been playing for a fool.

Treating them to a meal?

Shen Yan refused without a second thought: "Sorry, we have serious business to discuss; let's get together another time if there's a chance."

"Haha! Then another time it is!"

Hearing this, Lin Father gave an awkward laugh and did not insist.

Lin Yang, however, could no longer suppress the doubt in his heart and asked straightforwardly: "Yue'er, what is your relationship with Shen Yan now?"

Guessing was one thing, but he just wanted to hear Wu Yueer admit it herself.

"You don't need to know!" Wu Yueer did not speak as tactfully as Shen Yan, her voice piercingly cold.

Lin Yang was choked speechless, his cheeks burning hot, feeling both ashamed and annoyed.

He could not understand why Wu Yueer had this attitude, as he hadn't done anything excessive.

He just wanted an answer.

Why was it so difficult!

Lin Father and Lin Mother exchanged a glance; it seemed their son did not have a very good relationship with this "Yue'er," and she did not treat Shen Yan with the warmth of a friend either.

Sigh! This blockhead.

Originally, the couple had hoped Shen Yan would take their son under his wing, but now it seemed—a waste of effort.

With Wu Yueer blurting it out like that, the scene fell into an awkward state.

In the end, it was Lin Mother who stepped in to resolve the situation.

"Oh my! I'm starving to death; Lao Lin, let's find a place to sit."

Lin Father chimed in from the side: "Right, right! My stomach has been protesting for a long time."

Provoked, Lin Yang sat at the next table as if in a fit of pique.

He just wouldn't let the two of them be comfortable.

Lin Father and Lin Mother looked baffled, but they did not object; it was all the same wherever they sat.
