Chapter 60: At a class reunion, the student council president tries to show off?
The old streets of Jiangcheng are full of life, with vendors' cries rising and falling, creating a lively atmosphere.
Lu Jingchen carried the fresh ingredients he had just bought and walked slowly forward.
Lu Qingyuan, who was beside him, affectionately linked arms with him, skipping and pointing at the food stalls by the roadside, chattering away.
The brother and sister had just turned the corner when they bumped into two familiar figures.
It was Su Muyue and her best friend Tang Xiaoxiao.
Lu Jingchen looked at the two of them, smiled gently, and raised his hand to greet them.
"Su Banhua, Tang Xiaoxiao, it's you two, what a coincidence."
He turned to Lu Qingyuan beside him and introduced her, "This is my younger sister, Lu Qingyuan."
Su Muyue's eyes lit up, and she greeted her warmly.
"It really is you, Lu Jingchen! What a coincidence!"
"By the way, we were just about to meet up with Liu Wei, Zhou Zekai, and Wang Jinxuan, some of our classmates. Why don't you come along?"
Lu Jingchen frowned slightly, about to raise his hand to refuse.
He had absolutely no interest in these class reunions; they were a complete waste of time.
Before he could finish speaking, Lu Qingyuan interrupted him.
The little girl reached out and nudged his arm, then blinked.
"Brother, they've already invited you, just go!"
"It's a good opportunity to chat with my classmates more, instead of staying cooped up at home all day. I'll cook for myself when I get home, don't worry!"
Without saying a word, Lu Qingyuan took the bag of vegetables from Lu Jingchen's hand.
She waved to him sensibly, then turned and skipped away.
Lu Jingchen watched his sister's retreating figure and shook his head helplessly.
"This girl..."
He turned to look at Su Muyue, who was looking at him expectantly, and could only smile and agree.
"Alright, Su, where should we go for our get-together?"
Su Muyue instantly beamed with joy and quickly waved to the roadside to flag down a car.
"They've probably already arrived and are at the Genting Grand Hotel now! Let's hurry over there!"
The taxi stopped quickly, and the three of them opened the door and got in.
The car started smoothly and headed towards the most luxurious Genting Grand Hotel in the city center.
A dozen minutes later, the taxi slowly came to a stop in front of the magnificent Genting Grand Hotel.
Lu Jingchen and his two companions paid the fare and got out of the car, heading straight for the hotel entrance.
Not far away by the roadside, Crazy Biao, with a scar on his face, was leading a few henchmen who had just finished collecting protection money from the area.
He glanced up unintentionally and caught a glimpse of Lu Jingchen's profile, instantly freezing in place.
In the close-up shot, Feng Biao's pupils suddenly contracted, his face filled with shock and terror.
He rubbed his eyes hard to make sure he wasn't seeing things, and his legs went weak instantly.
Crazy Biao lowered his voice and whispered to his henchmen as if he had seen a ghost.
"Holy crap! Isn't that Mr. Lu?! The real god who even Tiger Brother has to kneel and kowtow to!"
The earth-shattering scene in the KTV flashed through his mind in an instant, and his back was instantly soaked with cold sweat.
Crazy Biao muttered to himself: Why would such an important person as Mr. Lu come here?
No, I have to get away quickly, or I might accidentally offend a true god and lose my life!
Crazy Biao didn't dare to approach or disturb him at all, and didn't even dare to look at him directly.
He hurriedly grabbed his henchman and rushed into the hotel lobby.
He lowered his voice and yelled urgently at his underlings, "Quick! Go to the top-floor VIP room number one! Don't loiter around the door!"
"Keep your eyes peeled! Don't look at what you shouldn't, and don't mess with whoever you shouldn't! You hear me!"
His underlings were bewildered by his panicked appearance, but they didn't dare to ask any more questions and quickly nodded in agreement.
No one knew that the person who could frighten the notorious Mad Biao in Jiangcheng's underworld to this extent was just a young student who had just turned eighteen.
The luxuriously decorated private room No. 7 on the second floor of the hotel had crystal chandeliers that made people dizzy.
Liu Wei, Zhou Zekai, and several other high school classmates were sitting around a round table, chatting and laughing, creating a very lively atmosphere.
The door to the private room was pushed open, and Lu Jingchen and the other two filed in.
The smile on Liu Wei's face froze the moment he saw Lu Jingchen.
He put down his wine glass and spoke in a sarcastic tone.
"Lu Jingchen? What are you doing here? We had a class reunion, but I don't think we invited you, did we?"
Tang Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes and retorted directly.
"What? Do you own this hotel? People can come and go as they please. It's their own business, why should you interfere?"
Her gaze fell on the arrogant man next to Liu Wei, dressed in designer clothes, her face full of doubt.
"By the way, who is this? I've never seen him before."
The man was Sun Haoyu. From the moment Su Muyue entered the room, his eyes never left her.
He brazenly looked Su Muyue up and down, his eyes filled with amazement and undisguised greed.
Upon seeing this, Liu Wei immediately stood up triumphantly and patted Sun Haoyu on the shoulder.
"Oh, by the way, let me introduce you all. This is my cousin, Sun Haoyu!"
He turned to look at Su Muyue, his face full of pride as he spoke.
"Su Banhua, didn't you also get into Jiangzhou University?"
"My cousin is the student union president at Jiangzhou University! He can show you around the campus and look after you in every way!"
Upon hearing this, the other students in the private room immediately let out a series of envious exclamations.
They all bowed and scraped before Sun Haoyu, calling him "Chairman Sun" repeatedly and showering him with compliments.
Sun Haoyu smugly straightened his collar and gave Su Muyue what he considered a gentlemanly smile.
"Miss Lin, right? If you need anything at school, feel free to contact me."
"Whether it's academic or personal matters, I can help you sort it out."
Su Muyue's face remained expressionless as she politely but distantly shook her head.
"No need, thank you. As for the luggage, Lu Jingchen will help me with it, so I won't trouble your cousin."
Sun Haoyu's smile froze instantly, and the smile on his lips vanished.
A deep displeasure flashed in his eyes, and he coldly swept his gaze toward Lu Jingchen beside him.
He spoke with a forced smile, his tone full of contempt.
"How could this be troublesome? We'll all be alumni of Jiangzhou University from now on, and I'll still be the student council president."
"I can handle most things at school for you."
He glanced at Lu Jingchen, who sat calmly the whole time, his disdain practically overflowing.
"As for help from outsiders, how can it be as convenient and reliable as having senior students from your own school take care of you?"
"Don't you think so, young man?"
These words, whether openly or subtly, were a veiled insult to Lu Jingchen, implying that he was an outsider with neither the right nor the ability to help Su Muyue.
The atmosphere in the private room instantly plummeted to freezing point, and everyone's eyes fell on Lu Jingchen.
Liu Wei crossed his arms and looked at Lu Jingchen with a gloating expression.
Just wait and see him get humiliated by Sun Haoyu and make a fool of himself in public.
Lu Jingchen remained calm, leaning back in his chair without even lifting his eyelids.
It was as if Sun Haoyu's provocation was no different from the buzzing of a mosquito in his eyes.
This kind of lowlife clown doesn't even deserve to be asked to speak up.
Seeing Lu Jingchen's aloof and unyielding attitude, Sun Haoyu's temper flared up instantly.
Just as he was about to speak and continue his attack, the door to the private room was suddenly pushed open.
The hotel's general manager, bowing and scraping, accompanied a middle-aged man as he entered.
The man was the owner of the Cloud Top Hotel and also Lei Hu's sworn brother.
Behind him followed Crazy Biao, his face deathly pale and barely daring to breathe.
Everyone was bewildered, wondering what this commotion was for.
Sun Haoyu immediately straightened his back, thinking that the hotel owner had recognized him as the student council president and had come over to say hello.
The next second, the hotel owner completely ignored everyone.
She strode up to Lu Jingchen and, with a thud, bent over at a ninety-degree angle.
His face was plastered with an extremely respectful smile, and his voice was trembling.
"Mr. Lu! Your presence is an honor to our humble establishment!"
"I heard from Feng Biao that you were here, so I rushed over immediately! Please don't hesitate to ask if you need anything!"
The entire private room fell into a deathly silence; you could hear a pin drop.
Sun Haoyu's smug smile froze instantly, and he stood there dumbfounded as if struck by lightning.
Liu Wei was completely dumbfounded. The wine glass in his hand crashed onto the table, and he didn't even notice that he had spilled wine all over himself.
No one expected that this ordinary student, whom they mocked, was actually a big shot whom even the hotel owner had to kneel down to greet!
