Chapter 493 You Can't Leave Today!
Dropping the suitcase, Wei Linlin rushed over excitedly. Behind her, a middle-aged man resembling a butler hurried to pick up the suitcase that had almost fallen to the ground, following her with a wry smile.
Chen Xuan also saw the middle-aged man. Judging by his aura, he was also a martial artist. It seemed Wei Changgeng wouldn't feel at ease letting Wei Linlin return alone.
Taking two steps at a time, Wei Linlin arrived in front of Chen Xuan with light footsteps. Her large eyes scanned Chen Xuan. "Chen Xuan, did Yunxi sister ask you to come?"
Chen Xuan nodded noncommittally.
"Then let's go. I miss Yunxi sister so much. It's too boring in our hometown," Wei Linlin exclaimed, saying eagerly.
"Linlin, you're finally back! With you back, the provincial capital is much more interesting."
Just then, several young men rushed out from a nearby passage.
These young men were all wearing designer brands, with pants costing thousands and limited edition joint-venture down jackets. Their Rolex watches were also quite valuable.
Seeing these people, Wei Linlin frowned.
Chen Xuan also noticed them and realized they were here for Wei Linlin. "Are you very familiar with them?"
Wei Linlin withdrew her gaze and said, "Some of them are my friends from school. They are all rich kids; their families either run companies or are officials. We often hang out together. However, I don't know some of them, and my dad doesn't want me to associate with them."
Chen Xuan nodded indifferently.
"But I didn't tell them I was back..." Wei Linlin murmured.
One of the young men with dyed blue hair, chewing gum, seemed very familiar with Wei Linlin. "Linlin, don't go with them. Come with us. A new bar just opened, and it's quite interesting. Let's go have some fun."
This blue-haired young man was Wang Hui, from the wealthy Wang family in the provincial capital. They were considered a prominent family, comparable to the Wei Linlin family. He was quite well-known in Wei Linlin's social circle, and many people followed his lead, except for the "little devil" of the provincial capital, Wei Linlin.
Wei Linlin shook her head. "I'm not going. I have some things to do. You guys go ahead and have fun. All the expenses can be put on my tab."
"Not going? Isn't that a bit much?" Wang Hui frowned, then glanced at a young man in the crowd. The young man's expression changed slightly. Wang Hui turned back, smiled at Wei Linlin, and persuaded her.
"There's nothing wrong with it. You all go ahead." After saying that, Wei Linlin took Chen Xuan's arm and prepared to leave.
At this moment, the young man standing in the middle couldn't wait and stepped forward. "Linlin, come with us, just this once. I'm begging you." The young man's eyes held youthful affection, and his tone carried a hint of pleading. His name was Gu Junjie, and he had been pursuing Wei Linlin for a long time.
"I'm not going, not going," Wei Linlin said impatiently.
Gu Junjie smiled. "Linlin, just come this once, only this time."
Seeing this, the others glanced at Chen Xuan with disdain and quickly advised:
"Exactly, Linlin. Why are you hanging out with this old guy? Look at his shabby clothes; he looks like a poor beggar. What's the fun in that? Our Young Master Gu has specifically prepared a welcome party for you."
"Yes, Linlin. Let me tell you, our Young Master Jie knows you like the big star He Qiongshi and specifically used his connections to get you fan meeting tickets."
"We couldn't even get tickets for He Qiongshi's fan meeting. Young Master Gu worked very hard and even used his family's influence."
He Qiongshi?
Hearing this name, Wei Linlin, who was already on the verge of an outburst, raised her eyebrows, a hint of anticipation in her eyes.
Gu Junjie saw this, knowing Wei Linlin was tempted. His eyes lit up, and he smiled. "Linlin, He Qiongshi is holding a fan meeting. It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Tickets are already sold out. I went through great difficulty to find them, and I've also organized a welcome party. Everything is ready. You just need to show up, just once."
Wang Hui chimed in with a smile, "That's right, Linlin. Junjie specifically organized the party for you. If you don't go, we can't go either."
To be honest, Wei Linlin was truly tempted. She had no interest in Gu Junjie. However, He Qiongshi was her favorite idol. She owned every one of He Qiongshi's albums and had watched every one of her movies. This was He Qiongshi's first fan meeting in the provincial capital, and it was a chance for Wei Linlin to get close and possibly meet He Qiongshi.
At this moment, she really wanted to agree to Gu Junjie. But then she saw Chen Xuan, and with a final grit of her teeth, she said, "Gu Junjie, thank you, but it's not necessary."
Gu Junjie's expression froze. Everyone was surprised. Wei Linlin could resist the allure of He Qiongshi?
Gu Junjie realized that Wei Linlin wasn't leaving with them entirely because of Chen Xuan. He subconsciously regarded Chen Xuan as a love rival.
Gu Junjie glared fiercely at Chen Xuan. "Kid, where did you crawl out from? Get lost and don't interfere with Linlin here."
"Exactly, who cares about him!" the group of youths chimed in disdainfully, staring at Chen Xuan.
Chen Xuan said indifferently, "If Wei Linlin is willing to go with you, I won't stop her."
"Damn it, kid, you dare to talk back to me? Believe it or not, I'll make sure you can't leave the provincial capital!" Gu Junjie sneered.
"Is the provincial capital your family's business?" Chen Xuan chuckled.
"You're asking for a beating!" Gu Junjie's expression turned fierce, and he raised his fist to hit Chen Xuan.
But at this moment!
*Slap!*
A slap landed, accompanied by a crisp sound. A bright red palm print instantly appeared on Gu Junjie's face.
The entire place fell silent. Everyone stared with trembling eyes at Wei Linlin, whose small face was clouded with anger. Wei Linlin had actually slapped Gu Junjie! The force of the slap even made Wei Linlin's hand feel a little numb. Even Chen Xuan was taken aback, not expecting Wei Linlin to step up and defend him first.
"Are you done making a scene?" Wei Linlin scanned everyone, her voice icy. Her chilling voice jolted them back to reality, reminding them that Wei Linlin was still the feared "little devil" of the provincial capital's upper circles, and they couldn't help but show some apprehension.
Gu Junjie's face was extremely ugly. The stinging pain on his face made him even more enraged. It was unacceptable that the woman he loved would slap him for someone else, causing him such humiliation! Gu Junjie spat on the ground, a bit of blood mixed with his saliva. He looked at Wei Linlin, trying to maintain a smile. "Linlin, I know it's not your fault. This guy must have drugged you."
"Kid, you're finished today! I'm going to slap you a hundred times!" Gu Junjie then turned his head, his gaze cold and sinister, staring at Chen Xuan. He rubbed his swollen face and growled resentfully.
The others crowded around. "Kid, if it weren't for you, a smelly beggar, you wouldn't be affecting our relationship with Linlin." They didn't dare to confront Wei Linlin, but they completely disregarded Chen Xuan, who was dressed so poorly.
"Enough, that's enough!" Wei Linlin stepped forward, standing in front of Chen Xuan like a hen protecting its chick, which warmed Chen Xuan's heart.
"Linlin, this has nothing to do with you. You were also deceived. Some people don't belong in this circle but insist on squeezing in, and they are destined to end up with bloody heads!" At this moment, Wang Hui, who had been silent, walked over and patted Wei Linlin's shoulder. Among them, only Wang Hui had the right to say such things. He then looked up at Chen Xuan, his tone cold. "Slap yourself a hundred times, or we'll do it for you." As his voice fell, a group of people surrounded Chen Xuan.
Despite being the "little devil," Wei Linlin was, after all, just a teenage girl. The situation had clearly gotten out of hand, making her feel flustered and at a loss. Chen Xuan, looking at these arrogant youths, frowned, a hint of coldness entering his eyes. He twisted his neck and said word by word, "You can't leave today!"
