CHAPTER 23: CHAPTER 23: THEY REALLY DIDN’T DECEIVE US

"Hmph, that guy’s really lucky." Chen Ziran glanced at Ye Guichen sideways, secretly slandering him in her heart. In her view, someone like Ye Guichen would definitely take advantage of the opportunity and ask for more money.

Unexpectedly, Ye Guichen just smiled and said, "Mr. Zhou, you are too kind. My name is Ye Guichen, and helping you was just something I could do easily. I will definitely visit you when I get the chance."

After saying that, he quickly pulled the still-dazed Chen Ziran away.

"A man of high character!" Seeing that Ye Guichen didn’t ask for any reward, Zhou Huairen stroked his beard and sighed. He respected Ye Guichen even more.

"Ye Guichen, you, you didn’t ask him for money?" After walking quite a distance, Chen Ziran was still in a daze.

Ye Guichen, however, curled his lips and said, "Why ask for money? Heh heh, I’m your man, your money is my money, there’s no use asking for it."

"Hmph! A dog can never spit out ivory." Chen Ziran didn’t expect Ye Guichen to say this and immediately acted coyly.

But as soon as she finished speaking, Chen Ziran scared herself.

This feeling... it’s like she’s flirting with Ye Guichen. Moreover, deep down, it seemed she didn’t have those feelings of repulsion towards him anymore.

"No way, no way, I’ve only known him for a few days, how could I possibly like him?" Chen Ziran shook her head hard, feeling a deep sense of fear.

It was already past 5 PM by the time they left the mall.

To leave a good impression on the Long Family, Chen Ziran dragged Ye Guichen to the hotel early.

The school reunion was set at Huang Feng Hotel, one of the few five-star hotels in Yun City.

After explaining their purpose, the two were guided by the staff to the banquet hall on the third floor.

"Ziran." From afar, Zhao Yuanhao waved at Chen Ziran.

He quickly walked up to Chen Ziran, glanced at Ye Guichen, almost not recognizing him.

"Truly, clothes make the man. I didn’t expect that in just half a day, anyone who didn’t know might think you, Ziran, have befriended a young master of some wealthy family." Zhao Yuanhao said acidly.

Ye Guichen, with his tall figure and well-fitted suit, exuded an extraordinary aura, quickly catching the attention of many starry-eyed girls in attendance.

However, when compared to Chen Ziran, who was wearing a purple long dress and looked elegantly refined, those girls suddenly felt inferior and lacked the courage to say hello.

Chen Ziran caught the underlying meaning in Zhao Yuanhao’s words and simply nodded lightly, asking, "The Second Young Master Long hasn’t arrived yet?"

"Not yet. Although I organized this reunion, many people heard that Second Young Master Long would come, so they all decided to attend, hoping to collaborate with the Long Family. This might turn out to be troublesome." Zhao Yuanhao said, spreading his hands, "Ziran, although we are classmates, I can only introduce you to the Second Young Master Long. Whether you succeed or not will depend on you."

Chen Ziran slightly frowned, a trace of disappointment flashing in her eyes.

She naturally recognized many wealthy heirs from Yun City. The Chen Family had little competitive edge in front of these people, and this time it could be troublesome.

"It’s okay." Chen Ziran could only shake her head to indicate understanding.

"Alright, alright, Ziran, you are truly considerate. But since you’re here today, let me introduce some friends to you." Zhao Yuanhao said, then waved to a few people in the distance, "Come, come, haven’t you always wanted to meet my beautiful classmate? Today you can feast your eyes."

From a distance, four to five men and women were looking over and gossiping. Seeing Zhao Yuanhao wave, they immediately gathered around.

"Yuanhao, you really didn’t lie to us."

A man who appeared slightly older than Zhao Yuanhao had been staring at Chen Ziran from the beginning.

At this moment, his eyes couldn’t hide his greed.
