Chapter 41 Guild Gathering, Best Friends Reunite!
Genting Palace, Grand Hotel.
As the most prestigious landmark building in Shanghai, the Cloud Palace has always been a gathering place for celebrities and the wealthy.
Tonight, the place is completely surrounded by luxury cars.
Inside the enormous banquet hall, crystal chandeliers cast dazzling light, and the melodious sound of a violin flowed through the air.
In this extravagant atmosphere, a girl dressed in faded jeans and a simple white T-shirt stood somewhat awkwardly in a corner of the banquet hall.
Looking at the well-dressed men and women around her, talking loudly, Su Qianqian couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
I arrived in a bit of a rush and didn't dress up much. Plus, my family has fallen on hard times in recent years and we've accumulated huge debts, which we only recently paid off. I didn't have time to buy anything new.
"I knew... I shouldn't have come."
Most of the people around were elite members of the Qingge Guild.
In the game, these people may be warriors and mages in armor and robes, but in reality, most of them who can come to the "reimbursement for travel expenses" gathering are young people from well-off families or professional gamers.
In contrast, Su Qianqian's simple attire seemed out of place.
"Who's that? Dressed so shabbily, is he from our guild?"
"I don't know, maybe it's one of the peripheral members."
"Shh, don't talk nonsense. The president said that any member can come."
"Yes, and although she's dressed simply, she has a great presence, which isn't something an ordinary family can cultivate."
Hearing the faint whispers around her, Su Qianqian didn't say anything; she had gotten used to it over the years.
Just then.
"They're here! The president is here!"
A sudden commotion erupted in the crowd.
The doors to the banquet hall slowly opened.
A woman dressed in a black haute couture evening gown, surrounded by several bodyguards in suits, including Vice President Canglan and Uncle Zhao, Lin Qingyue's butler, slowly walked into the venue.
Lin Qingyue is tall and slender, and her long black dress perfectly outlines her graceful curves, revealing her shoulders and neck with the elegant lines of a swan.
The long silver hair she had in the game was actually a head of smooth black hair in real life, casually tied back, revealing her exquisite, aloof, and stunningly beautiful face with an overwhelming aura.
In real life, she is less divine than in the game, but more domineering and dignified like a powerful figure in a wealthy family.
"This is the student council president? Wow, she's so beautiful!"
"That aura is so powerful, I'd believe it if you told me you were a female celebrity!"
"I heard she's the eldest daughter of the Lin Group, a true heiress!"
The entire venue erupted in cheers, all eyes drawn to that radiant figure.
Su Qianqian also subconsciously raised her head.
But when she saw the woman who was being fawned over, she was struck dumb and stood there completely stunned.
That face...that familiar gaze...
Although she has shed her naivety and become more mature and sharp, Su Qianqian would never admit her mistake.
"Qing... Yue?"
Su Qianqian's lips trembled slightly, and she subconsciously wanted to turn around and run away.
She didn't want the other person to see her in this disheveled state.
Fate clearly did not give her that chance.
Lin Qingyue accepted the champagne offered by the butler, smiled, and walked towards the crowd to toast them. She elegantly exchanged pleasantries with the core members of the guild, her gaze inadvertently sweeping over the corner of the banquet hall.
Then his gaze fixed on it.
"Clang!"
The valuable crystal goblet in Lin Qingyue's hand slipped from her grasp and shattered on the marble floor.
The wine splashed onto her skirt, but she didn't seem to care.
Staring intently at the figure in the corner who wanted to hide but dared not, her originally cold and beautiful face instantly filled with shock, disbelief, and... deep excitement.
"President?" The Dragon King, who was about to go up and offer a toast, was startled by this scene.
Lin Qingyue shoved aside the Dragon King who was blocking her way, and without even caring about the demeanor of a lady from a wealthy family, she lifted her skirt and strode towards the corner.
Under the astonished gazes of everyone present, she rushed up to Su Qianqian and grabbed the other's wrist.
"Shallowly?"
Lin Qingyue's voice trembled slightly, and her eyes instantly reddened:
"Is it really you?"
Su Qianqian raised her head and looked at her best friend, who was still radiant, and tears welled up in her eyes.
She bit her lip, but finally couldn't hold back and whispered, "Qingyue...it's been a long time."
Five minutes later, in the VIP room on the second floor.
Isolated from the noise downstairs, the private room was so quiet that only the two of them could be heard breathing.
Lin Qingyue sat on the sofa, holding Su Qianqian's hand tightly, as if if she let go, Su Qianqian would vanish into thin air like she did three years ago.
Why?
Lin Qingyue's tone was tinged with reproach, but even more so with heartache: "When the Su family had their accident, I frantically searched for you. Your phone number was disconnected, and your old family home had been sealed off... Why did you hide from me? I'm your best friend!"
"Do you think I'm the kind of person who would look down on you just because you're broke?"
Faced with her best friend's questioning, Su Qianqian lowered her head and gave a bitter smile:
"I knew you would help me, Qingyue."
"But back then... my dad jumped off a building, creditors were blocking my door every day, and I couldn't even afford to go to university... I didn't want to drag you down, and I didn't want you to see me begging you for money like a stray dog."
"I have my self-respect."
Hearing this, Lin Qingyue felt a pang of pain in her heart.
She knew Su Qianqian's personality; she appeared gentle, but was more stubborn than anyone else inside.
Back when the Su family was still a wealthy family, Su Qianqian was the kind of person who would rather suffer a loss herself than trouble others.
"fool....."
Lin Qingyue sighed and gently hugged Su Qianqian: "It's all in the past. Now that you've found her, you're not allowed to run away again."
"Is your ID 'Qianqian' for this guild gathering? I didn't see you during today's guild raid."
Su Qianqian nodded: "Yeah, but I'm only a few levels, and I haven't been out of the newbie village for long... so I couldn't participate in the raid this time."
A knowing glint flashed in Lin Qingyue's eyes.
She had seen this ID before and it seemed familiar, but she never expected it to be her best friend!
"It's okay, I can help you even if your level is low." Lin Qingyue waved her hand confidently, exuding an air of dominance: "From now on, I'll protect you in the game!"
Su Qianqian chuckled.
The two chatted about the past for a while, and the atmosphere gradually eased.
Su Qianqian mentioned that she and her younger brother are now living together, and although life is hard, they are still managing to get by. Her debts have been paid off thanks to her brother.
"By the way, your younger brother?"
Lin Qingyue suddenly remembered something, and her eyes lit up: "Since he's your brother, then he's my brother too. Is he playing 'God Realm'? That game is very profitable now. If he's interested, he can come to our Qing Pavilion."
"What's his profession? What's his ID? How's his skill level?"
At this moment, Lin Qingyue's mind was filled with thoughts of making it up to her best friend.
Since Su Qianqian is too proud to accept money directly, why not train her younger brother to become a professional gamer and give him a multi-million dollar annual salary? That should be fine, right?
However, upon hearing this question, Su Qianqian's expression instantly became extremely interesting.
The image of my younger brother, Su Yu, being called "goddess" or "wife" in the dungeon flashed through my mind.
If Qingyue knew that the "chicken-killing goddess" was actually her own younger brother...
Su Yu would then suffer social death.
"that....."
Su Qianqian stammered, her eyes darting around, cold sweat beading on her forehead:
"He...he was definitely playing around."
"But... he's rather introverted, has social anxiety, and doesn't like joining guilds."
"And what's more, he's really bad at the game! He's just a sightseeing enthusiast! And his ID is so lame, it's... 'Old Wang Next Door'! Yeah, I think that's it!"
Su Qianqian casually gave an ID because of Su Yu's instructions before she left.
"Scenery enthusiasts..."
Lin Qingyue was a little disappointed, but still nodded: "Alright, if he doesn't like fighting, then forget it. But if he gets bullied in the game in the future, just say my name."
"call....."
Su Qianqian breathed a long sigh of relief.
Thankfully, thankfully, we managed to get away with it.
