The Great Sage Returns from Ten Years of Imprisonment

"Here it is!"

Swallow waved her little hand and greeted people at the door.

"We just saw you standing at the entrance of Renmin University from the window, carrying a backpack like you were going to the zoo to feed the bears. What took you so long?"

"I was waiting for someone there to run some errands. I'm not late, am I?"

Ling Yun smiled and closed the door behind him, but his gaze remained fixed on the beautiful woman next to Yanzi.

The beautiful woman had just hung up the phone and turned to look towards the door.

Ling Yun's heart skipped a beat, and he paused for a moment.

"Wow! That profile is just like the real-life version of Gao Yuanyuan!"

He clenched his fist, and when he saw the beautiful woman's face clearly, he sighed inwardly.

"Turns out it's just that their profiles look alike, what a fuss it was for me! But the resemblance is incredible!"

Like Da Meiyuan, the beautiful woman in front of us also has a perfect oval face.

Her almond-shaped eyes are bright and expressive, her lips are full and sensual, her nose is straight with a slight hump, her facial features are bold and relaxed, and her smile is very infectious.

Her skin is fair, delicate, firm, and radiant; her figure is curvaceous; she is both innocent and alluring.

More importantly, she looks a lot like Lingyun's dream goddess, Da Meiyuan!

Although she may not be as stunningly beautiful as Da Meiyuan, she is definitely a great beauty, scoring over nine out of ten, and is more beautiful than most first- and second-tier female celebrities!

Ling Yunchong nodded to the beautiful woman and stepped forward, half-jokingly saying:

"Who is this beautiful woman? Yanzi, I thought I had run into a female celebrity."

"Why didn't you give me a heads-up? If I'd known there was such a stunning beauty here, I would have dressed much better."

As he spoke, he walked to the dining table, pulled out a chair, and prepared to sit down.

"What a jerk! His eyes are practically glued to people's bodies!"

Swallow rolled her eyes, but couldn't hide the smile on her lips.

"Let me formally introduce myself. This is Leilei, my high school classmate and best friend. We live in the same neighborhood."

"This is Lingyun, my childhood friend and classmate from kindergarten and junior high school. We used to live in the same building."

"Lingyun went to university and graduate school in Shanghai, and stayed there to work for two years after graduation. He only came back a couple of days ago..."

Following her introduction, Lingyun stood up and got to know Leilei.

"Hello, Leilei, it's nice to meet you. Since you're Yanzi's friend, you'll be my friend too."

"It's a pleasure to meet you too, Lingyun. I've always heard Yanzi talk about you, and today I finally meet the real deal. You really are handsome!"

Taking advantage of the moment when Lei Lei bowed to shake hands, Ling Yun saw everything very clearly.

This beautiful woman has a great figure, quite well-endowed, and her height should be between 168 and 172 cm. She has long legs, a slim waist, and excellent proportions!

Just as they were exchanging pleasantries, Yanzi chimed in with a grin.

"Yunzi, did you just mistake Leilei for Da Meiyuan? Many people mistake her for Da Meiyuan the first time they see her!"

"Da Meiyuan is Lei Lei's cousin, but she's a few years older than Lei Lei. The sisters look very alike."

"You bet! I thought I'd met a supermodel!"

Ling Yun suddenly realized what was going on and made a joke on the spot.

"It's clear how much the Goddess Nuwa favored these sisters; she must have poured her heart and soul into creating them!"

"On the other hand, we can just pick up a lump of mud, mold it, and make it look like a human being, or even something that doesn't look like a human being at all!"

"Hahaha"

The two beautiful women burst into laughter, thoroughly amused.

Before the laughter subsided, a waitress knocked on the door and came in.

"Good evening, gentlemen. May I order?"

"sure"

Swallow nodded in agreement.

Then he picked up a menu and handed it to Leilei, while he picked up another menu and started looking at it.

Ling Yun did the same, casually picking up the menu in front of him and starting to order.

In a short while, they had finished ordering.

After the waiter left the private room, Yanzi suddenly raised her hand and patted Lingyun's arm.

"Yunzi, tell Leilei about your situation, like when you're going to buy a house and a car, how much savings you have, etc."

"You're a futures trader, a high-achieving, wealthy, and handsome man in the financial world. Don't hide anything now..."

Ling Yun was completely stunned and didn't react for a moment.

On the other side, Leilei's pretty face flushed slightly, but she looked at him expectantly.

Seeing this, Ling Yun suddenly had a flash of inspiration and finally realized what was going on.

"Wow! So this is a matchmaking event you organized? You dragged me here for a blind date? Did my mom bribe you?"

"Hehehe, what did you think?"

Yanzi nodded with a charming smile.

"I promised your aunt I'd definitely find a way to help you solve your single status, and coincidentally, Leilei is single too."

"Isn't this perfect? ​​It's an absolute match made in heaven, which is why I organized this meeting."

"Well, so I'm the only one who's been kept in the dark!"

Ling Yun shook his head helplessly.

Then, he looked at Leilei with sincere eyes.

"Leilei, I believe Yanzi told you that I work in the financial industry as a futures trader, and the income is indeed considerable."

"But you might not know that the financial industry is notoriously full of scumbags, especially traders, who, due to the nature of their profession, have developed a habit of being fickle and easily bored!"

"Many people unconsciously carry this habit into their lives. I can't guarantee that I won't become another scumbag in the financial world in the future!"

He paused, looking at Leilei's beautiful face, and said, word by word:

"From this perspective, I think it's better for us to remain friends. Otherwise, I might end up becoming a jerk and hurting you so badly that we can't even be friends anymore."

"Since we're on the topic of blind dates today, there's something I must clarify: I'm not really looking forward to marriage, and I might never get married in this lifetime."

The room fell silent immediately after those words were spoken.

Yanzi's smile froze instantly, she rolled her eyes in anger, and gritted her teeth.

Leilei froze on the spot, the blush on her face fading, her eyes widening in annoyance, along with a hint of confusion and embarrassment.

The next moment, Yanzi reached out with lightning speed, pinched a soft spot on Lingyun's waist, and twisted it a few times.

"My girlfriend went through all that trouble to put together this event, and you're saying you don't want to find a partner? There's no way your parents would agree to that. Your mom's been wanting a grandson for ages."

"Let's see how you solve this problem. You think you can play the bachelor/bachelor card? Keep dreaming!"

"Ouch, be gentle!"

Ling Yun screamed and quickly reached out to pry open Yanzi's small pliers.

He quickly moved to a chair nearby and explained with a chuckle.

"Saying I'm not getting married doesn't mean I won't find a girlfriend, nor does it mean I won't have children. Marriage and having children are two different things, okay!"

Yanzi and Leilei were both stunned, frozen in their chairs.

But they quickly realized what was happening and immediately spat in unison.

"Pah! You scumbag!"

"That's shameless! What a scumbag and a scoundrel!"

As they spoke, they each picked up napkins and chopstick packs and threw them at each other.

What followed was a dinner party that turned into a denunciation rally.

Both women scoffed at and loathed Lingyun's scumbag behavior and bizarre views on marriage and relationships.

However, they admired his honesty and his refusal to take advantage of Leilei.

As a result, Lingyun and Leilei successfully became friends.

Before I knew it, it was already around 7:30 pm.

After a satisfying meal, Lingyun and his companions prepared to pay the bill and leave.

Just then, Attorney Zhang suddenly called.

After the call connected and they exchanged greetings, Attorney Zhang hesitated for a moment before explaining his purpose.

"There's something I want to talk to you about, Lingyun. I hope you don't mind, and it would be great if you could give me some advice."

"I plan to open an investment account with Yuanda Futures and try my hand at investing. Currently, I'm preparing to short crude oil with ten times leverage and go long on gold with ten times leverage..."

Hearing this, Ling Yun was not surprised at all.

Everyone wants to earn more money, and that's perfectly understandable!

Moreover, Zhang Lu personally witnessed the miracle he created and saw his superpower of turning the rotten into the magical.

Besides, he was his own lawyer; it would be strange if he didn't have this idea!

After Zhang Lu finished speaking, Ling Yun thought for a moment before giving his response.

"Attorney Zhang, due to industry regulations, I cannot provide you with any professional investment advice, as that could potentially constitute a violation of regulations!"

"But I must say, the two directions you've chosen are excellent. I wish you great wealth!"

"I will closely monitor the futures market. As long as you maintain close contact with Mr. Chen and the others, there won't be any problems."

Zhang Lu, on the other end of the phone, naturally understood the implied meaning behind those words.

"Understood, I will keep in touch with General Manager Chen and the others more often."

While Lingyun was on the phone, Leilei kept secretly glancing at him.

Perhaps she herself didn't realize that there was something inexplicable in her eyes!
