Chapter 128: The Flower Has Found Its Master

Chapter 128: The Flower Has Found Its Keeper

Inside the 388 luxury suite of the Emperor Hotel, three men and two women sat around chatting and boasting. Since someone else was footing the bill as a sucker, everyone was naturally happy; after all, this was a five-star hotel. Not only was the decor luxurious, but the food was delicious. Sitting here for a meal was a delightful indulgence.

The young man in the center was undoubtedly the focus of the group, and he was also the "sucker" for the evening: Yue Feiya, the only son of the Deputy Governor of Qing Province, Yue Zusong. Currently a student at Yanjing University, he was quite handsome and carried himself with a gentle, refined demeanor. Of course, this facade was primarily to leave a good impression on Wang Meiling, and his current behavior was meant to win the favor of the classmates present.

"Brother Ya, you’re a real big shot at Yanjing University!" said a burly young man beside him with a fawning expression. This was Zhu Jun, a high school classmate of Wang Meiling who had been the class sports representative and later successfully entered the Southeast Sports Institute.

"It’s nothing, really. Anyway, how has everyone been doing these past few years?" Yue Feiya asked, taking a light sip of tea, his mind clearly elsewhere. Damn it, his attention wasn't on these people at all; he was just making idle chatter because sitting there was boring.

"Not bad, not bad, though not quite as big a shot as Brother Ya," chimed in Lu Hong, Yue Feiya’s little lackey, with a fawning look on his face. The two had been close since high school, mostly because Lu Hong enjoyed tagging along behind Yue Feiya, playing the role of the devoted sidekick, which he found quite satisfying.

Yue Feiya was quite pleased with this little lackey. After all, having someone constantly singing his praises was a pleasant experience. Although Yue Feiya was the center of attention wherever he went due to his father’s status, he felt that Lu Hong was much better at handling people and situations than the others.

"Heh, I think everyone is doing well and will surely accomplish great things in the future. Actually, I wanted to stay at Qing Province University, but my family insisted I go to Yanjing University. I had no choice," Yue Feiya sighed feignedly. When he heard Wang Meiling was staying at Qing Province University, he had immediately told his father he wanted to stay there too. Naturally, Yue Zusong refused. Having finally groomed a son with some promise, he wanted to provide the best for him, planning to bring him into the government system directly upon graduation and use his own influence to help him secure a department-level position by the age of thirty.

"That’s right, our Young Master Yue has always had a certain beauty from Qing Province University on his mind!" said one of the girls, who was quite pretty, smiling in a way that felt almost like she was selling her charms, casting constant, beaming smiles at Yue Feiya.

"Indeed, Gu Qing is right. But now, that beauty has already found a keeper," added another girl sitting next to Gu Qing, who looked rather cute. Her name was Liu Xue, Wang Meiling’s desk-mate and good friend from high school. Gu Qing was also a high school classmate of Wang Meiling, and her father worked for the Bureau of Education. Ever since he learned his daughter was in the same class as the Deputy Governor’s son, he had been constantly drilling it into her head that she must capture Yue Feiya’s heart.

Gradually, Gu Qing had developed feelings for the handsome and distinguished-looking Yue Feiya, especially drawn to his aura of seriousness. Of course, the main reason was that Yue Feiya found Gu Qing completely unappealing and treated her with cold indifference.

"Found a keeper? What do you mean?" Yue Feiya’s heart skipped a beat. Before returning, he had someone look into it, and he was told Wang Meiling was still single. How could she have found someone? But then he thought, even if she had someone, he would definitely find a way to "loosen the soil."

"Yeah, what’s going on, Xue’er?" the others asked, feigning concern. But Gu Qing was secretly triumphant. Hmph, little girl, once you have someone, Yue Feiya will naturally be mine. Once I latch onto the Deputy Governor’s line and my father gets a promotion, my time will come!

"Hehe, it’s like this: I called Meiling and told her that if she didn't have a boyfriend, we would introduce Brother Ya to her. But she said she already has one and will bring him over later for us to see," Liu Xue said with a smile. Knowing exactly what kind of playboy Yue Feiya was, she used this opportunity to butter him up.

"Oh, is that so? It seems a lot has changed since I last saw our old classmate," Yue Feiya thought to himself, his expression pensive. Damn it, whoever it is that snatched his woman, he would tear them to pieces. Damn it, they didn't even stop to ask whose territory this was.

"That’s true, that’s true. I remember at the last class reunion, Meiling was still on her own," Zhu Jun sighed. Of course, who wouldn't be a little moved by a stunning beauty like Wang Meiling? But knowing his own limitations, he could only look on with admiration.

"But do you think Wang Meiling just said that on purpose? Everyone knows Brother Ya has been pursuing her, and this time we specifically said we’d introduce her to a boyfriend if she were single!" Lu Hong naturally spoke up for his boss, shooting a look at Yue Feiya. Seeing that Yue Feiya wasn't angry but was actually casting a look of approval his way, he knew he had played it right.

"Yeah, I think there’s something fishy about it too, heh," Zhu Jun said with a laugh. Anyway, it had nothing to do with him, though he wasn't a fool; everyone knew Yue Feiya had been chasing Wang Meiling.

"Heh, never mind. Let’s just wait and see when they get here. Why get worked up now?" Yue Feiya said, feigning magnanimity, though he was already seething with hatred. Damn it, if he could resolve the relationship between his family and Wang Meiling’s side, and incidentally bag a beauty like her, that would be quite satisfying.

However, that bitch Wang Meiling was truly a breathtaking beauty. Bringing such a wife home as a trophy would be fine, and it would give him something to brag about in front of his friends. Damn it, he had to have her. Thinking of Wang Meiling’s beautiful face, Yue Feiya felt a stir of desire.

Although Yue Feiya appeared gentle and serious on the surface, his lifestyle was actually decadent. He even kept a few cute girls on the side, whom he referred to as "Meiling No. 1, No. 2, and No. 3." Every time he had his way with them, he felt a surge of pride and self-satisfaction.
