Urban: It turns out this is a comprehensive world
Chapter 9: Joining a Group to Watch the Show
Looking back now, it seems that Miss Yu is facing the same predicament as her young master.
Time flies like an arrow, slipping away silently, and in the blink of an eye, it was the early morning of the second day.
"You're awake? I'm so sorry, I didn't dare to have someone wake you up because I wasn't familiar with your usual morning routine."
When Qin Qingcheng, dressed in an elegant long dress, walked gracefully into the spacious lobby on the first floor, she immediately noticed Luo Lingtian wearing a cheap T-shirt and baggy shorts, lounging lazily on a soft sofa.
His fingers flew across the phone screen as he played the game with complete concentration, his lips occasionally curving into a slight smile or a tight purse as the game progressed.
They lacked the slightest bit of the dignity and poise expected of scions of wealthy families, even if they were from a third-rate one.
However, seeing such an unpretentious scene in person, Qin Qingcheng's tense nerves quietly relaxed, and a trace of relaxation and relief flashed across her eyes.
As she tiptoed downstairs, Luo Lingtian merely glanced at her casually from his phone screen before immediately refocusing his gaze on it, his hands still moving smoothly and effortlessly across the screen.
"Breakfast is already in the insulated box, but I don't know if it will suit your taste," Luo Lingtian said casually without looking up.
"Ha~~"
Qin Qingcheng yawned lazily, her voice soft and sweet, "Don't think of me as so pampered. I don't have any dietary restrictions. As long as it's not unpalatable, I can accept anything."
Although she had washed up carefully and tidied herself up a bit, she still had a faint blush around her eyes and a lingering drowsiness in her eyes as she woke up.
Behind her followed closely Lin Wei, who was tall and straight, wearing a well-tailored black suit, with simple makeup that could not hide her capable aura, and every step she took was steady and powerful.
"How about it, want to go out and wander around today?"
While Qin Qingcheng and Lin Wei were quietly eating breakfast at the dining table, Luo Lingtian finally put down his phone, his fingertips unconsciously rubbing the edge of the phone.
Since the restaurant and the hall were only separated by a perforated screen and the distance was not far, he raised his voice to ask.
Qin Qingcheng paused abruptly in her chewing, slowly swallowed, and looked up at Luo Lingtian. Her eyes narrowed slightly, and she said with a playful and slightly reproachful tone, "Of course I'm going, but Lingtian, you have to come with me, okay? I can't let your fiancée wander the streets alone!"
At the same time, Qin Qingcheng tapped her fingers lightly on the table, thinking to herself: 'If I remember correctly, today is the day that flamboyant Zhao Hao from the Zhao family went to confess his feelings to that icy Yu Bingyu. In my previous life, I arrived in Haishi two days after that event.'
Of course, Zhao Hao's confession itself wasn't something she paid too much attention to. What really bothered her was that it was because of this confession that the dark horse Dragon King Xiao Chen began to enter the public eye.
It was through this incident that he successfully won Yu Bingyu's heart, and from then on, he gradually rose to prominence, established himself in Haishi, and began his rise to power.
Now that she thought about it, things were not as simple as they seemed. Qin Qingcheng's eyes instantly turned serious. She remembered the news she had overheard before her suicide in her previous life—Yu Bingyu had chosen to commit suicide before her, and the location was right in front of Zhao Hao's grave.
The amount of information hidden here is obviously extraordinary.
"So, in my previous life, Yu Bingyu probably didn't truly love Xiao Chen. Her situation was perhaps similar to mine. In this life, I've never met Xiao Chen, nor have I been influenced by that inexplicable force that seems to control fate. I might as well take this opportunity to observe coldly and see what kind of trickery lies behind this."
Thinking it over, Qin Qingcheng instantly had a clear goal for going out; otherwise, she really didn't have any particular place she wanted to go.
"Big brother, how about we go check out the Yu Group later and join in the fun?"
Just as Qin Qingcheng finished breakfast and was lazily leaning back on the sofa, gently rubbing her lower abdomen to aid digestion, a vibrant and exceptionally cheerful voice suddenly rang out from outside the door.
She looked in the direction of the sound and saw a young man with a straight posture, wearing a neatly pressed dark suit and a youthful air between his brows, standing at the door with a smile on his face.
"Huh? Brother, you have guests here? And who are these two...?"
The young man strode into the hall, his smile faltering for a moment when he saw Qin Qingcheng on the sofa and Lin Wei standing to the side. Then, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he curiously looked the two of them over before asking a question with a hint of doubt in his tone.
"I am Qin Qingcheng, your elder brother's fiancée. This is my bodyguard, Lin Wei."
Before Luo Lingtian could speak, Qin Qingcheng stood up first, a gentle smile on her face, her gaze calmly fixed on the young man in front of her, while she was also subtly sizing him up.
In her previous life, she had met him a few times. He was Luo Yuntian, the biological son of Luo Lingtian's adoptive parents.
She clearly remembered that Luo Yuntian was no simple character either. In her previous life, he had put in a lot of effort and used ruthless methods when dealing with Xiao Chen.
"Oh, it's you, sister-in-law! Hello, sister-in-law, I'm Luo Yuntian."
Luo Yuntian was taken aback for a moment, then quickly put on a warm smile, his tone tinged with surprise, "When did you come to Haishi, sister-in-law?"
The woman before him, with a smiling face, gentle and warm demeanor, and an air of elegance, was actually his elder brother's fiancée, the rumored proud little princess of the Qin family? This was completely different from the image he had seen in the documents and from what was circulating outside!
"I just arrived in Haishi last night," Qin Qingcheng replied casually, then changed the subject, a hint of curiosity flashing in her eyes, "You just said there's something interesting to see?"
Qin Qingcheng was pondering what natural reason she should find to witness Zhao Hao's confession and observe what was so special about Xiao Chen when Luo Yuntian's sudden appearance conveniently saved her from this trouble.
"Oh, my sister-in-law just arrived in Haishi, she probably doesn't know yet."
Luo Yuntian clicked his tongue, a look of great interest on his face, and explained with great enthusiasm, "In our Hai City, Yu Bingyu, the president of the Yu Group, is a well-known ice queen. Not only is she stunningly beautiful, but she is also incredibly capable. Her reputation has long been known throughout the entire industry."
Zhao Hao, the young master of the Zhao family in the capital, was utterly infatuated with her, to the point of being obsessive.
He paused for a moment, then continued, "Zhao Hao started pursuing Yu Bingyu when he was in college. After graduating, in order to be closer to her, he even went to Haishi to develop his career."
Some busybodies have even counted that he has confessed his feelings to Yu Bingyu 99 times, but has been rejected every time. Today is the 100th time!
"This is a kind of interesting story that happens every now and then in Haishi. Now people in the industry are betting on whether Zhao Hao's 100th confession will be able to move that iceberg president."
"So it's that person from the Zhao family? I've heard a bit about it, but I didn't expect him to be so persistent and devoted. That's quite interesting."
Qin Qingcheng's face showed a look of sudden realization, her tone natural, as if she had just learned the details.
As the young lady of the Qin family, a top-tier wealthy family in the capital, she had naturally heard of the Zhao family's reputation long ago. However, if she didn't have the memories of her previous life, she wouldn't have paid much attention to this farce of a wealthy family's son pursuing someone.
"Ling Tian, why don't we go take a look together?"
Qin Qingcheng turned her head, her eyes sparkling with interest, and looked at Luo Lingtian, who remained silent and seemingly indifferent.
"Since Miss Qin..." Luo Lingtian was interrupted by Qin Qingcheng before he could finish speaking.
"Just call me Qingcheng! I'm your fiancée. Doesn't it seem too formal to keep calling me 'Miss Qin'?" Qin Qingcheng pouted slightly, looking at him earnestly with a hint of charming naivety that left no room for refusal.
Luo Lingtian, who was interrupted, was taken aback for a moment. Looking at the serious yet playful look in Qin Qingcheng's eyes, the corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up slightly, and a smile flashed in his eyes. He then changed his mind and said, "Okay, since Qingcheng wants to see, let's go and join in the fun together."
"Handsome, that ugly bastard is calling again! Handsome, that ugly bastard is calling again!..."
Just then, a highly penetrating cell phone ringtone, tinged with a hint of coquettish teasing, suddenly rang out in the quiet hall. The mesmerizing melody startled Qin Qingcheng and Lin Wei, who exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with surprise.
Luo Yuntian suddenly suppressed his laughter, a strange expression on his face, barely managing to hold it in.
Only Luo Lingtian remained calm and composed, as if he were already used to it, and slowly picked up his phone from the sofa.
He glanced down at the caller ID, his normally calm eyes narrowing slightly, a subtle, unspoken meaning flashing across them. Without any attempt to conceal it, he pressed the answer button.
"Hey, Ling Tian, there's a good show going on at the Yu Group. Want to go check it out?" A lazy, teasing male voice came from the other end of the phone, casual and sounding very familiar.
"Oh? Why are you suddenly interested in this kind of thing?" Luo Lingtian raised an eyebrow, his tone tinged with surprise.
The caller was Mo Yu, the master of the Killing God Temple. Ever since they learned of each other's hidden identities, they often met to spar in martial arts or find a quiet place to fish and drink tea. Their relationship was quite harmonious.
They had talked about Zhao Hao pursuing Yu Bingyu before, and at that time Mo Yu looked disdainful and made it clear that he had no interest in it.
"I wouldn't bother with a normal confession scene, but this one is different!" Mo Yu's tone was mysterious, deliberately keeping everyone in suspense.
