Chapter 20

Ye Lin's face turned black instantly. He fled the bathroom like he was escaping. The original urge to pee also disappeared.

"Boss, what's wrong?" Ji Lingyu was a little puzzled.

"Nothing, I think it's necessary to go to this dinner party!" Ye Lin suddenly changed his mind. He suspected that if he stayed in the Ji family home, he could be suffocated by pee.

"Boss, it's great that you changed your mind. Tonight's auction dinner will have a lot of good things, including equipment and skills," Ji Lingyu said.

"Hmm? There are such good things?" Ye Lin was stunned for a moment.

"Yes! Qingcheng holds an auction dinner every year before the college entrance exam, but ordinary people don't know it," Ji Lingyu explained.

Ye Lin was silent for a moment. He wasn't even an ordinary person, he could only be considered a poor person.

Although he decided to attend the dinner party, Ye Lin ultimately didn't wear the evening dress that Ji Lingyu prepared for him. Wearing this stuff was really too uncomfortable for him. He still felt comfortable wearing his own clothes.

Time soon reached the evening. Ji's father took Ji Lingyu and Ye Lin to the most luxurious Yunsheng Hotel in Qingcheng.

There were already many luxury cars parked in front of the Yunsheng Hotel. As soon as they saw Ji's father, the security guards at the door immediately nodded and bowed to welcome Ji's father in.

After all, the Ji Group can be considered a big enterprise in the whole of Qingcheng.

The three of them took the elevator to the top floor of the Yunsheng Hotel. There was a different world here. Two long tables were filled with all kinds of precious ingredients for guests to take at will. All kinds of people in expensive clothes gathered in twos and threes, laughing and talking.

Some of them were business tycoons, some were Class-Transferred individuals with high levels, and some were political magnates. Almost all the big shots in Qingcheng were gathered here.

As soon as Ji's father came up, he walked to his old friends he knew. Ji Lingyu had long been accustomed to this.

"The older generation has one circle, and we younger generation have one circle. Let's go, let's go over there."

Ji Lingyu pointed to the table opposite, which was full of young people.

"It's okay, you go do your thing, don't worry about me."

Ye Lin had long been hungry. At noon, surrounded by those maids, he didn't eat much at all.

Ye Lin ignored Ji Lingyu, walked to the table, and began to feast.

The people present were all extremely elegant in their eating, and they were all wearing expensive custom-made evening dresses. Ye Lin's way of eating like a starving ghost immediately attracted the attention of many people around. Ji Lingyu's toes had already begun to dig into the ground.

"Boss, why don't we eat later? Let me introduce you to my friends first?"

"No rush, wait for me to eat my fill first."

"Boss, if you want to eat something when you get home, I'll have someone make it for you, okay? Stop eating for now."

Ji Lingyu said anxiously. He already felt that there were more and more eyes looking at them, but Ye Lin ignored him and happily devoured his dinner.

In a hurry, Ji Lingyu actually wanted to reach out and grab the lobster in Ye Lin's hand. Ye Lin's eyes instantly condensed.

"Forbidden Curse..."

Ji Lingyu froze in place, a look of awkwardness on his face.

"It's okay, boss, you eat, you eat."

Ji Lingyu covered his face and left Ye Lin's side with tears in his eyes. Today, bringing Ye Lin to the dinner party was to introduce Ye Lin to his friends so that Ye Lin could save face.

But with Ye Lin's starving ghost appearance, how could Ji Lingyu dare to introduce him? If he told others that Ye Lin was his boss, he would probably become a laughingstock in the second-generation circle of Qingcheng.

After driving Ji Lingyu away, Ye Lin happily enjoyed his dinner.

As for how the people next to him looked at him? He didn't care at all. Eating his fill was the most important thing.

But just as he was eating happily, a cold female voice suddenly rang out behind him.

"Ye Lin?"

Ye Lin was still chewing the unfinished lobster in his mouth. As soon as he turned his head, he saw Student Zhuge Ni's stunned face.

Next to Student Zhuge Ni was a girl in a white dress. This girl was petite, half a head shorter than Student Zhuge Ni, but her face was not inferior to Student Zhuge Ni at all.

"It's really you! Why are you here?" After seeing clearly that it was Ye Lin, a look of disgust clearly appeared on Student Zhuge Ni's face. "You didn't sneak in to eat and drink, did you?"

Ye Lin didn't want to pay attention to Student Zhuge Ni. He secretly thought it was bad luck. Why could he meet this brainless woman everywhere? But on second thought, with Mr. Student Zhuge's status, it was not strange that Student Zhuge Ni would appear at this dinner party.

"Ni Ni, who is he?" The girl in the white dress asked curiously. It was the first time she had seen such obvious disgust on Student Zhuge Ni's face.

Even if those pursuers were pestering Student Zhuge Ni before, she had never seen Student Zhuge Ni show this expression.

"Who is he? Hmph! Just a coward who is afraid of death. Do you still remember the Ling Ye I told you about who saved me?" Student Zhuge Ni asked, looking at the girl in the white dress.

"I remember, you said he controls karmic fire, his strength is extremely powerful, and on the first night he entered the beginner realm, he killed an 8th-level monster in one strike." The girl in the white dress nodded.

"Before I met Ling Ye, the first person I met was this guy! This guy's strength is not weak. If he had been willing to take action with me to deal with that 8th-level dragon-blooded giant beast at that time, I would never have been driven to a dead end! But this guy is very afraid of death, and he just left me and ran away!"

Speaking of this, Student Zhuge Ni stared at Ye Lin through gritted teeth, but Ye Lin was focused on eating and didn't even look at her.

"Ah?" The girl in the white dress tilted her head. "But... seeking good fortune and avoiding disaster is human instinct. Although he is indeed afraid of death, it's not enough to make you so angry, right?"

"Liu Yanwei!" Student Zhuge Ni shouted the girl's name in a huff. "Whose side are you on?"

"Your side, your side." Liu Yanwei stuck out her little tongue.

"If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have been driven to a dead end by the dragon-blooded giant beast, and I wouldn't have met Ling Ye in such a sorry state! Ling Ye treated me as a drag, which directly led to me not finding news about Ling Ye yet. You tell me, should I be angry?" Student Zhuge Ni countered.

"That's indeed something to be angry about. If it were me, I would be angry too."

Liu Yanwei nodded. She knew clearly how crazy this Miss Student Zhuge had been looking for that Ling Ye for the past two days, almost digging the entire Qingcheng three feet into the ground.

"Alright, alright, since we're angry, let's not look at him. Out of sight, out of mind. Let's go, let's go over there."

Liu Yanwei pushed Student Zhuge Ni to another place, avoiding her continuing to conflict with Ye Lin, but when Student Zhuge Ni left, she still glared at Ye Lin fiercely.

Ye Lin, who was eating, suddenly had a bit of wicked fun in his heart. So the Ling Ye he pretended to be left such a deep impression on Student Zhuge Ni?

He suddenly wanted to know what Student Zhuge Ni's expression would be when she knew that Ling Ye was pretended by him.
