Lin Mo left the Sky Entertainment Club and returned to school. After finishing his afternoon and evening classes, it was almost nine o'clock.
However, just as the evening class ended, a handsome young man dressed in designer clothes stood on the stage, facing Everyone with a smile and said,
"Hey, everyone, my name is Liang Lei. We are all new students. How about I host tonight and treat you all to a meal at Dongnan Hotel? Order whatever you want!"
At these words, the crowd immediately erupted in excited voices:
"Dongnan Hotel? That's a Six-star hotel in Imperial City! A single meal can cost at least two to three hundred thousand!"
"Such a tycoon!"
Seeing that everyone's attention was on him, Liang Lei's lips curled into a smug smile, and then he looked towards Hu Wei.
From the first moment he saw Hu Wei, he had fallen for her.
And now, he was proposing a dinner at the hotel for all his classmates, wanting to use this opportunity to get to know and interact more with Hu Wei.
He also wanted to flaunt his wealth and show off his family background, believing that nowadays, girls could hardly resist money and status.
Especially first-year freshmen.
So, wouldn't it be easy to win Hu Wei over by then?
"Cut, this guy clearly isn't a good bird!"
"Right, inviting us to dinner, he probably has ulterior motives."
Wu Yifan and the fatty scoffed disdainfully.
Zhuang Zhou shook his head and said, "Haven't you guys figured it out? That guy obviously likes Hu Wei. He wants to take this opportunity to show off his family wealth, just to pick up girls."
Hearing this, Wu Yifan and the fatty immediately despised Liang Lei more, "Damn, this guy really is no good."
Then, Wu Yifan looked at Lin Mo and chuckled,
"Boss, let's go together? We can eat and drink for free and also possibly protect the school beauty."
Soon, the group arrived at Dongnan Hotel.
As they entered the VIP room and everyone sat down, Liang Lei was just about to ask Hu Wei to sit next to him.
But Hu Wei walked straight to Lin Mo and said to Wu Yifan,
"Could you please give up your seat for me?"
Wu Yifan was startled but immediately nodded his head.
Then, Wu Yifan along with Zhuang Zhou and fatty, all expressed their admiration for Lin Mo in a low voice,
"See? The boss's charm is extraordinary!"
As for Liang Lei, seeing this scene, he was extremely displeased.
He had arrived at Tian Nan University later than others and thus had not noticed Lin Mo.
Now, he suddenly realized that the biggest rival in his class was this guy named Lin Mo.
At that moment, Hu Wei's best friend, Wu Qiao, sat down next to her, looking disdainfully at Lin Mo and muttered,
"Weiwei, what's so good about this Lin Mo? Poor and plain, he obviously won't have much of a future at Tian Nan University!"
"Just look at Liang Lei, not only is he the richest in our class, but he's also excellent in every aspect. This Lin Mo is just a bit more handsome than him."
"Don't say I didn't warn you, if you could date Liang Lei, it would definitely be much better than being with Lin Mo."
Then, Wu Qiao glanced at Lin Mo and huffed,
"Hey, move over. I want to sit with my bestie."
Lin Mo didn't even glance at her and simply said coolly:
"Do you think I should just give in because you deem yourself important?"
Suddenly, Wu Qiao became infuriated, pointing at Lin Mo,
"Kid, what's there to be arrogant about? This gathering was paid for by Master Lei, so logically, Master Lei and Weiwei should be sitting together."
"You, a nobody with nothing to your name, what right do you have to sit next to Weiwei?"
Upon hearing this, everyone present, except for Wu Yifan, Zhuang Zhou, and the fatty, agreed with Wu Qiao.
Moreover, since Liang Lei paid for the gathering, almost everyone sided with him.
"Qiaoqiao is right! Since Master Lei paid, he should sit next to Hu the school beauty!"
"Exactly, what virtues or abilities does this kid have?"
"He has no skills; how dare he sit next to Hu Xiaohua?"
Seeing this, Liang Lei immediately felt extremely smug. He glanced at Lin Mo with a provocative look as if to say,
"Kid, see that? Everyone thinks I'm better than you. You dare to compete with me for a woman, you're seeking death!"
At this moment, Hu Wei stood up and said,
"Stop saying that. I chose to sit next to Lin Mo myself; it has nothing to do with him."
Upon hearing this, Wu Qiao harshly glared at Lin Mo,
"Kid, don't think just because Weiwei is speaking for you, you'd know what to do if you were sensible."
"If you're not capable enough, don't block others' happiness!"
Wu Qiao's intention was clear; she believed that only Liang Lei was worthy of Hu Wei.
As for Hu Wei, slightly annoyed, said, "Qiaoqiao, stop talking nonsense, or I will get angry."
Wu Qiao snorted coldly and then let it go.
Whether it was Wu Qiao's warning or Liang Lei's provocation, Lin Mo observed them as if they were two ridiculous ants.
If it weren't for him actually being hungry, Wu Qiao might have been kicked away by him already.
Later, after the dishes were served, Lin Mo focused on eating, and Hu Wei, in front of everyone, even helped him with the dishes!
Seeing this, Liang Lei's fists creaked, extremely displeased.
As for Lin Mo, he slightly raised his eyebrows and said lightly to Hu Wei,
"Stop serving me food!"
He indeed didn't like it, except for Xia Mengdie, other girls being nice to him.
"Mm."
Hu Wei looked a bit awkward and felt slightly depressed being coldly treated by Lin Mo again.
After all, being the third most beautiful girl in the school and treated so uniquely by Lin Mo, if it were any other guy, he would have treasured her like a gem.
Midway through the meal, Lin Mo went to the restroom, and Liang Lei followed. There, in the washroom, Liang Lei fixed his hair and said,
"Lin Mo, I advise you to stay away from Hu Wei!"
"She's not someone you can match, and you also can't afford to provoke me, so stepping back is your best option!"
Lin Mo looked at him with interest, his expression cold, "I'm not interested in that Hu Wei, but if you provoke me again, I won't mind breaking your limbs!"
With that said, he left Liang Lei standing there dumbfounded. It wasn't that he was stunned stupid, but Lin Mo's seemingly casual words carried an endless chill, making him feel as if he was in an ice cave.
Liang Lei quickly snapped back to reality, staring at Lin Mo's retreating figure, gritted his teeth,
"Kid, just you wait, after this gathering, you'll get what's coming to you!"
