You all chase after the innocent school beauty, then I'll choose the rebellious female school b

Wu Hong wasn't even a street thug; he had absolutely no influence in Jiangcheng.

The people shouting along with him were his friends. They usually worked in the provincial capital and didn't have holidays, only returning home for festivals like Chinese New Year.

They've been working away from home for a year and haven't saved much money. If Lu Yuan offers them money, they'll definitely be happy to settle things.

Afterwards, he even offered Lu Yuan and the others water to express his apology, his attitude so sincere that it seemed he was determined to befriend Lu Yuan.

Gao Zhe didn't like him, but he kept calling him "Brother Zhe".

Fortunately, Gao Zhe adhered to the principle of not hitting a smiling face and did not hold a grudge.

Lu Yuan invited everyone to have a late-night snack, and Wu Hong and his group were naturally included.

During the gathering, a high school boy suddenly started gossiping about a classmate.

For example, a girl is dating a boy, or a girl gets married right after graduating from high school... Such gossip is as numerous as hairs on a cow and is commonplace.

Lu Yuan didn't care much about these things until he mentioned Hou Mingyu.

Everyone knows that Hou Mingyu is repeating a year of high school.

Lu Yuan didn't ask him anything about how he was doing.

"What's wrong with Hou Mingyu?" Lu Yuan asked.

"I saw him on a date with a girl in the south of the city a couple of days ago."

"Oh?" Gao Zhe's interest was piqued. "Isn't he repeating a year of high school? How come he's dating someone? Isn't he afraid of it interfering with his studies?"

Logically speaking, people who are repeating a grade should be more focused on their studies, and even if others don't say anything, most of them would give up the idea of ​​dating on their own.

Hou Mingyu is considered a very hardworking person, and he even went down the path of repeating a year of high school, so why did he suddenly start dating?

"Who knows about him?" The gossipy classmate shrugged. He didn't seem to like Hou Mingyu much either. "That stingy guy, I don't know what kind of girl would like him."

"Hey, I think I heard he confessed to one of the girls in our class before?" another person said with interest.

"Who?"

Everyone was very curious.

Hou Mingyu doesn't know which girl he likes, but he can't figure it out for any of them.

Perhaps only Lu Yuan knew that the girl Hou Mingyu liked was actually Jiang Yiqing.

However, Jiang Yiqing didn't like him; in fact, she could say she hated him.

After the late-night snack session ended, Gao Zhe had no desire to stay up all night any longer and prepared to drive back with Lu Yuan.

When Wu Hong saw that Gao Zhe still had a car, his eyes were filled with complex emotions as he stood by the roadside and Murong and the other man left.

Perhaps he would lament the vast differences between people.

On the way back, Gao Zhe said, "Brother Yuan, you should deal with Lin Na when you have time."

When Lin Na was mentioned, Lu Yuan realized that he had forgotten about her.

Lin Na arrived in Jiangcheng a few days ago. It is said that her housekeeper personally drove her there. At that time, she brought nothing of value except some clothes, a mobile phone, and a small amount of living expenses.

It wasn't that she didn't want to bring them, but that Lin Jinfu had confiscated them all.

This time, Lin Na really angered Lin Jinfu. Sending her to Jiangcheng was both a punishment and a training exercise.

There are only ten days left until Lunar New Year's Eve. The Lin siblings will have to go back home for the New Year. Logically, they could send her over after the Spring Festival, but Lin Jinfu insists on sending her over now. He really doesn't want to waste a single day.

"What's wrong with her?" Lu Yuan asked.

"My sister said she just hides in her room all day and does nothing. If you say anything to her, she acts like she's going to kill herself. You know, my sister doesn't like her to begin with, and now that she's acting like this, my sister is definitely too lazy to pay attention to her and will just leave her hanging."

Gao Ya and Lin Na have a grudge; women, you know, are very vengeful.

If Gao Ya were a few years younger, Lin Na would have received at least a beating if she had fallen into her hands, regardless of whether she was Lin Kai's sister or not.

Now that she's doing business in a more sophisticated way, she's a boss lady in public and in private, so she definitely needs to maintain a certain image, and naturally she's become much more reserved than before.

Lu Yuan scratched his forehead, feeling utterly helpless. After thinking for a moment, he asked, "Where does Lin Na live now?"

"She rented a small apartment to live in, not too far from my house."

"Let's go see her first."

Upon hearing this, Gao Zhe was displeased. "Why go see her?"

"You don't know, she's got a terrible temper these days. When Kai went to see her, he was really upset. I think we shouldn't go and make a fool of ourselves."

Gao Zhe also dislikes Lin Na.

The main issue is that Lin Na was behind the Hu Chenghui incident.

In order to break the deadlock, Gao Zhe faked his death. Although the death was fake, in order to make the performance more realistic, he and Lu Yuan actually fought on the riverbank. That beating hurt a lot.

Gao Zhe blamed Lin Na for all of this.

Furthermore, Lin Na also played a significant role in Gao Zhetou's real estate project fraud.

Therefore, Gao Zhe had every reason to hate Lin Na, and he wished for Lin Na to live a miserable life.

Lu Yuan didn't have a good impression of Lin Na either, but since Lin Jinfu had said he would help, he had to give Lin Jinfu face no matter what, at least to make Lin Na go back home for the New Year obediently.

Not wanting to disobey Lu Yuan, Gao Zhe had no choice but to send him to where Lin Na was currently living.

This is a rental house located on a street corner. The house is quite old, and the living facilities are probably not very high-end.

For Lin Na, who was used to a life of luxury, she would never choose to stay in such a place if conditions allowed. Presumably, Lin Jinfu really didn't give her much money on this trip, and she had no choice but to stay here temporarily.

"She lives in room 401. Go find her yourself. I won't come with you."

Gao Zhe disliked Lin Na very much and refused to go upstairs with her no matter what.

Lu Yuan had no choice but to go up himself, and soon arrived at the door of room 401.

I knocked gently on the door, but there was no response. However, light was coming out from under the door, so someone must be inside who just didn't hear me. I raised my hand again to knock.

As soon as she raised her hand, the door opened slightly, revealing half of Lin Na's face inside.

She looked much more haggard, a stark contrast to her elegant and beautiful appearance the last time we met; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say she was a completely different person.

If Lu Yuan hadn't seen her several times and remembered that she had a perfectly placed beauty mark under her eye, he probably wouldn't have believed that this person was Lin Na.

When she saw it was Lu Yuan, she rolled her eyes, didn't say a word, and closed the door.

Lu Yuan wanted to say hello, but this made things a little awkward.

Once he was sure she really lived there, Lu Yuan felt relieved and leaned against the door, saying, "Sister Na, there's no need to be so cold to me. Come on, open the door, let's talk."

No response.

Quietly.

Lu Yuan knew that Lin Na was using ignoring him to send him away, and if he was smart enough, he should leave.

But Lu Yuan, oblivious to the situation, or rather, shameless, knocked on the door again and said with a smile, "Sister Na, actually we're in cahoots. Let me guess, you must really need help, but none of your old friends are helping you, which makes you very sad, right?"

There has been no response yet.

Lu Yuan then said, "Sister Na, you don't need to be angry with me. I really can help you. If you trust me, please open the door."

"I'll give you a minute to think about it. If you really don't need it, then I'll leave."

wait.

Time passed by second by second, and soon a minute had gone by.

Lu Yuan glanced at it again and listened carefully, but there was no sound inside.

Lin Na was probably too stubborn, so Lu Yuan could only say, "Alright, I'm leaving now. Goodbye, Sister Na."

After saying that, Lu Yuan prepared to leave, but as soon as he turned around, the door to room 401 behind him opened...
