Chapter 807: Chapter 807: What a Rarity

“Yuqing,” the middle-aged beauty greeted Luo Yuqing proactively, “I just saw you with Xiaoman, but how come she disappeared in the blink of an eye?”

“Auntie, she’s with Ning Meng. I don’t know where they went,” Luo Yuqing stood up, smiling as she greeted the middle-aged beauty and introduced Luo Ziling, “This is my friend, Ziling.”

She deliberately did not mention Luo Ziling’s surname, nor did she say that Luo Ziling was her classmate.

“Hello,” the middle-aged beauty extended her hand to Luo Ziling, “Pleased to meet you.”

“Auntie, hello,” Luo Ziling shook hands gently with the middle-aged beauty, politely greeting her in return, and paid her a compliment, “Auntie really looks young and beautiful. If I hadn’t heard Yuqing call you auntie, I would have thought you were her sister.”

The middle-aged beauty was immediately delighted upon hearing Luo Ziling say this.

Luo Ziling’s appearance struck her as impressive, and a smile filled her face, her hand still holding onto Luo Ziling’s without letting go.

She looked at Luo Ziling, then at Luo Yuqing, and laughed, “It’s the first time I’ve seen Yuqing bring a friend to a gathering like this, which is quite rare. Young man, you’re really handsome, a good match for our family’s Yuqing.”

“Auntie, we’re just ordinary friends,” Luo Yuqing’s face blushed slightly as she explained, then asked, “Where’s uncle? Why haven’t I seen him?”

“The cocktail party hasn’t officially started yet, he’s busy welcoming guests. There are many important people attending today, and he wants to personally see to everything. By the way, I saw Mr. Chen had a word with you earlier. Is he familiar with your friend?” the middle-aged beauty asked curiously, then smiled, “It’s truly rare for Mr. Chen to attend the cocktail party today. Your uncle had to ask someone for a favor several times, and it wasn’t certain he was coming before the party started.”

“Mr. Chen and Ziling knew each other before, right. Anyway, auntie, if you’re busy, please go ahead. With so many guests to attend to,” Luo Yuqing did not explain the relationship between Luo Ziling and Chen Jiahai, “if uncle looks for you later, just ignore us.”

“Alright, then make yourselves at home,” the middle-aged beauty did not mind, and smilingly added another piece of advice, “Come over and greet uncle later, get to know some of the guests at the party. You’re so beautifully dressed today; a lot of people have noticed you.”

“Okay, auntie,” Luo Yuqing did not refuse.

After the middle-aged beauty left, swaying her hips, Luo Yuqing whispered, “My auntie is called Wu Huaying, and she’s quite a character too. Both she and my uncle have their own fun, without interfering with each other. She even had a fling with the same man as Li Man at the same time, leading to a conflict between them, and now they ignore each other. So, she didn’t react much when she saw you bullying Li Man.”

“Well, that’s quite exotic,” Luo Ziling was very curious and asked, “Are all the people in these grand households so free-spirited?”

“Many are like that, but not including me.”

“I didn’t mean it that way.”

“Hmph!” Luo Yuqing snorted softly, “I’m still a student, you know!”

At that moment, a tall man with a pleasing appearance approached them.

This man was even taller than Luo Ziling, with a well-fitted suit accentuating his stature, a man with quite handsome features.

“Yuqing,” the man approached Luo Yuqing and Luo Ziling, and without acknowledging Luo Ziling, he greeted Luo Yuqing enthusiastically, “I didn’t expect you to attend the cocktail party today.”

“I came with a friend,” Luo Yuqing gestured toward Luo Ziling standing beside her, “We just came to show our faces; we’ll leave soon.”

Only then did the man turn his gaze to Luo Ziling, jealousy flickering in his eyes. He had just arrived and had not seen Luo Ziling standing with Chen Jiahai earlier. Without any memory of Luo Ziling, he didn’t take him seriously.

Seeing that Luo Yuqing did not introduce them, he took the initiative to extend his hand to Luo Ziling, “Chen Jiangnan. May I ask your name?”

“Luo Ziling,” Luo Ziling extended his hand indifferently and shook hands with the other party.

After hearing Luo Ziling’s introduction, Chen Jiangnan thought for a moment and couldn’t recall such a person in his memory. There was no prominent family with the Luo surname in Yanjing, therefore, he didn’t take Luo Ziling seriously.

He didn’t bother with Luo Ziling any further and, smiling, said to Luo Yuqing, “Yuqing, there’s a dance later, I’d like to ask you for a dance.”

“If my friend is willing,” Luo Yuqing indicated Luo Ziling, “then I’ll dance with you.”

Luo Ziling quickly shook his head, “Of course I’m not willing. I’m Yuqing’s companion today, so naturally, she has to dance with me.”

From Luo Yuqing’s attitude towards this man, Luo Ziling could sense she wasn’t fond of the one named Chen Jiangnan, so he unhesitatingly adopted the role of her boyfriend, ready to drive Chen Jiangnan away. He didn’t know whether Chen Jiangnan had any relation to Chen Jiahai, but he felt that this Chen fellow probably belonged to the Chen Family, perhaps a cousin or someone closely related to Chen Jiahai.

Because this guy looked a bit like Chen Jiahai.

“Well, I really am sorry,” Luo Yuqing said to Chen Jiangnan, slightly embarrassed, “Mr. Chen, please ask another beauty to dance.”

Chen Jiangnan’s complexion changed slightly, but he still politely apologized and turned to leave.

“Is he one of your suitors?” Luo Ziling said with a smile as he watched Chen Jiangnan’s retreating figure. “This couldn’t be the main reason you dragged me here, to reject other men’s advances, could it?”

“Congratulations, you guessed right. What reward would you like?” Luo Yuqing admitted playfully with a cheeky smile, “I really dislike these people, but they come from distinguished backgrounds. I can’t lose my temper at them, so I pulled you, this extremely handsome guy, to deflate them a bit.”

“Someone from the Chen Family?”

“He’s Chen Yihe’s son, a cousin of Chen Jiahai, but they’re not on good terms,” Luo Yuqing explained calmly. “A lot of people bother me; if more come later trying to cozy up, you need to help me drive them away. I hope that after today, nobody else will bother me.”

“What if after today, everyone thinks I’m your boyfriend? What then?”

“That would be the best outcome,” Luo Yuqing said nonchalantly, “If everyone thinks I already have a boyfriend, it will save me a lot of trouble.”

“It looks like I’m being used by you today; oh, my poor fate.”

“You name it, what compensation do you want?” Luo Yuqing’s smile was bright, her face the picture of a triumphant strategist. “As long as it’s not too difficult, I’ll agree.”

“Forget it, consider it a charitable deed on my part.”

“You said it yourself, don’t blame me for being stingy later,” Luo Yuqing’s smile grew even more joyous.

At this moment, a middle-aged man approached them, accompanied by Li Man, who had just been on the receiving end of Luo Ziling’s mischief.

“That’s my Uncle Li Zongneng,” Luo Yuqing whispered hurriedly to Luo Ziling, then warned, “Li Man might have tattled to him, and he might be here to reprimand us.”

“Sigh, it’s time for another test of my abilities,” Luo Ziling said with a wry smile.

Seeing Luo Ziling’s expression, Luo Yuqing laughed even more heartily.
