Chapter 1607 - 1602: Compete with Him?

Ling Youcai heard Meng Zhenzhen’s slightly urging voice and frowned!

The next second, he deeply glanced at Hu Xiaobei and Song Yaling...

Then, with a gentlemanly demeanor, he took out his business card, "Xiaobei! I know there are many people here, and you’re embarrassed to agree, so you can think it over when you get back. After you’ve decided, give me a call. We’ve met each other, as long as you call me, I’ll definitely help you."

"Wow! What a good person!"

"Exactly!"

Seeing Ling Youcai graciously offer his business card, everyone present was excited and praised him.

They all felt Hu Xiaobei was particularly ungrateful!

In this situation, Ling Youcai should have ignored him, but he didn’t, so they truly believed Ling Youcai was especially magnanimous.

"Hehe!"

With a slight smile, Hu Xiaobei reached out his hand, his face expressionless as he took the card!

After taking it, Hu Xiaobei didn’t even glance at it and directly placed it in his pocket.

Seeing Hu Xiaobei accept his card, a trace of excitement flashed in Ling Youcai’s eyes.

In his view, as long as Hu Xiaobei accepted his card, he would certainly give in to contacting him.

Once he contacts Ling, there’ll be an opportunity for him to offer help.

Gradually, he could gain Hu Xiaobei’s favor...

Simply put, once they connect, he’d have the chance to get detailed information about Hu Xiaobei’s girlfriend, Song Yaling, ultimately getting the beauty he desires.

Exactly!

From the start, he wasn’t truly interested in Hu Xiaobei.

Nor did he earnestly want to help Hu Xiaobei...

What he most wanted was a chance to win over Song Yaling.

In his view, someone as perfect as Song Yaling should belong to him.

...

Soon, under the announcement of Meng Zhenzhen and Ling Youcai, the gathering began.

Everyone quickly gathered around Meng Zhenzhen and Ling Youcai, chatting and laughing with them.

Hu Xiaobei and Song Yaling were left alone.

Looking at Song Yaling, Hu Xiaobei chuckled lightly, "Sister Song, is there an indescribable sense of loss without being the center of attention?"

Song Yaling looked at Hu Xiaobei, softly saying, "How could that be! As long as you’re with me, I definitely won’t feel any loss."

"Sister Song, if that’s what you truly feel, then we’re better off staying here, it’s quieter!"

Laughing, Hu Xiaobei took a bottle of red wine beside him and poured her a glass casually...

"True!"

Responding thus, Song Yaling slightly swayed the glass goblet in her hand.

Watching the deep red liquid gently swirl in the glass...

"Come, cheers!"

"Mm! Cheers!"

Just like that, the two began to drink merrily...

...

"This feeling is truly wonderful!"

She excitedly murmured to herself, surrounded by everyone’s attention...

Back in school, she’d always hoped for such a scene, yet in four years of college, she’d never experienced it.

Now, Meng Zhenzhen gets to experience it...

Because of this, she was ecstatic.

"This is life indeed!"

Sincerely praising, Meng Zhenzhen turned to look at Song Yaling!

She thought Song Yaling must be feeling downcast now...

Turns out, she realized she’d overthought...

Because over at the gazebo, Hu Xiaobei and Song Yaling were merrily savoring their wine.

"What the hell is going on here! Why isn’t she feeling troubled at all!"

She was stunned for a moment, screaming madly inside...

She was really annoyed since Song Yaling’s demeanor entirely defied her expectations.

"She’s definitely pretending, definitely pretending!"

Screaming internally, she swiftly walked towards Hu Xiaobei and Song Yaling with a somber expression.

...

"Sister Song, we..."

Hu Xiaobei was just about to say more when suddenly he heard footsteps getting closer.

Turning his head for a look, Hu Xiaobei sighed silently.

Because Hu Xiaobei saw her approaching rapidly with a somber expression...

Hearing Hu Xiaobei’s sigh, Song Yaling also turned her head.

The next moment, she lightly shook her head.

At this point, she too felt annoyed...

Because finding a peaceful moment to stay quiet was really hard.

While she was complaining inside, a bland voice reached her ears, "What are you two doing sitting over here? Come join us for a chat."

Upon hearing such an invitation, Song Yaling lightly shook her head, saying, "We want to stay here quietly, feel free to chat."

"How can that be! It’s a gathering, naturally we should chat together!"

Upon hearing Song Yaling’s refusal, she quickly replied, and after speaking, she turned to look at the others and said loudly, "Everyone, come over here, let’s chat."

With Meng Zhenzhen’s call, nearly everyone quickly came over.

Soon, not only was the gazebo crowded, but people were also standing around it.

"Having this level of influence is truly great!"

Excitedly mumbling praises, Meng Zhenzhen turned her gaze towards Hu Xiaobei...

No!

To be precise, Meng Zhenzhen was currently gazing at the glass goblet in Hu Xiaobei’s hand.

"So, how’s the taste of the wine?"

Hearing this straightforward question, Hu Xiaobei understood what Meng Zhenzhen meant.

After a deep look at her, Hu Xiaobei calmly replied, "The taste is fairly decent!"

Upon hearing Hu Xiaobei’s response and looking coldly at him, she directly mocked, "Just decent? This must be the best red wine you’ve ever had! Honestly, you probably won’t ever taste better wine than this in your lifetime."

"Hehe!"

Hu Xiaobei didn’t refute!

Because he truly couldn’t be bothered to argue...

Not hearing Hu Xiaobei’s rebuttal, she turned to Song Yaling, saying, "Yaling, everyone’s here as old classmates. Tell us, what about your boyfriend do you see in him? Is it simply because he’s a bit younger?"

With Meng Zhenzhen’s probing, everyone present looked at Song Yaling, truthfully curious to understand the reason...

To them, Song Yaling choosing the ordinary Hu Xiaobei felt like lowering her standards.

Seeing everyone’s curious eyes on her, Song Yaling calmly squinted her eyes.

Soon, she looked at Hu Xiaobei, solemnly saying, "Different strokes for different folks! I just like him!"

"This..."

Everyone was left speechless!

Because they realized she was speaking the truth.

Song Yaling genuinely liked Hu Xiaobei from the bottom of her heart...
