“I didn’t expect to meet you here, Mr. Chen.” Yun Qianqian looked at Chen Fan, eyes glistening with surprise.
Chen Fan was her savior. Chen Fan had saved her the last two times she met him. He had also told her about the curse in the Buddhism Bead Bracelet. The second time she met him, Chen Fan had saved her from two a.s.sa.s.sins from the Heavenly Kill. Having met Chen Fan again, Yun Qianqian’s heart was filled with excitement, appreciation, and expectation.
It was a pity that they couldn’t spend more time together the last two times they met and therefore, Chen Fan’s background and his power was still shrouded in mystery to Yun Qianqian. She had thought that Chen Fan was just a tyc.o.o.n from the Jiang Bei region, however, later, she overheard the a.s.sa.s.sins from Heavenly Kill call him “Grandmaster Chen Beixuan.” Yun Qianqian had brought the name up to many of her good friends in the entertainment industry, but no one could tell her who he was.
“Long time no see” Chen Fan replied as he held a cup of Champagne.
Yun Qianqian was nothing but a pa.s.serby in his life. He had saved her twice, but he didn’t do it for her. The first time he did it for his best friend Lin Weiwei and the second time he did it because he thought the Heavenly Kill were after him.
Qiu Yilun and the other teenagers were rendered speechless as they watched Chen Fan chatted with the famous actress.
She was Yun Qianqian, the most popular A-list actress in China. Qiu Yilun wagered that he could at most flirt with a C-list model or an actress no one would recognize. It would take someone as powerful and rich as Shen Junwen or Gao Zhengbang to be able to acquaint Yun Qianqian.
Based on the two’s interaction, Qiu Yilun noticed that Yun Qianqian seemed to have known Chen Fan before. She talked to Chen Fan respectfully and gazed at Chen Fan with a pair of watery and innocent eyes. It was as if Chen Fan was an idol and Yun Qianqian a fan.
Even Qi w.a.n.gsun was taken aback by the development.
He had been evaluating and reevaluating her roommate’s social status. He first thought Chen Fan was an ordinary member of the Chen family, then he turned out to be the heir of the Chens Group. However, there and then, Chen Fan surprised Qi w.a.n.gsun again by revealing his connection with the superstar Yun Qianqian
“Boss, can you introduce us please?” Qiu Yilun demanded excitedly.
Chen Fan couldn’t refuse, so he introduced all of his teenage friends to Yun Qianqian.
“Hi, there. I am Yun Qianqian, and I am Mr. Chen’s friends and also his fan. Nice to meet you.” Yun Qianqian said humbly, all the while, a blooming smile didn’t leave her face.
“You said you are a fan of my boss?” Qiu Yilun asked incredulously.
“Why of course! Mr. Chen is a mighty hero. He saved my life.” Yun Qianqian covered her mouth as he giggled. Her eyes suddenly became softer and sultry as she thought to herself: “If not because of his lack of interest in me, I would love to marry him.”
“He saved you? OMG! Boss, you are bada.s.s!” Qiu Yilun slammed a hand on Chen Fan’s shoulder. Meanwhile, Qiu Yilun and the others seemed to regard Chen Fan in a new light.
Yun Qianqian’s words were br.i.m.m.i.n.g with her admiration toward Chen Fan. However, Chen Fan didn’t react to it, he lowered his head and sipped her drink in silence. Seeing Chen Fan’s lack of interest, Yun Qianqian was disappointed.
“Chen Fan is becoming more and more impressive as we get to know him. Do you think Qinya should have chosen him instead?”
Qian Lulu thought to herself with a hint of regret.
She had thought that Qiu Yilun was the wealthiest among his roommates and never had even thought that Chen Fan would suddenly rise to her attention. Based on what she knew of Chen Fan so far, she could sense that Chen Fan’s family background and wealth were both superior to Qiu Yilun. That being said, Lu Zhengyu was an heir of the rich family in Hong Kong and a tyc.o.o.n in a mainland city couldn’t compare. Therefore, she wagered that it was still too early to say if Zhou Qinya had made the wrong decision going off with Lu Zhengyu.
Meanwhile, Lu Zhengyu had led Zhou Qinya to the man in a white suit. Lu Zhengyu lowered his head and plastered on a toady smile.
“Nice to meet you, Young Lord Nie.”
“Ah, it’s you, Xiao Lu.” The man in the white suit was called Nie Shunchen. He was the heir of the Hua Yi Entertainment. He carried a cup of wine in one hand and embraced the actress Li Xinru in the other. He exchanged greetings with the rich and powerful men that surrounded him and only spared Lu Zhengyu a barely noticeable nod as a greeting. He looked haughty and arrogant.
“Young Lord Nie, this is my new friend. Her name is Zhou Qinya. She is your fan, and wanted to meet you in person.” Lu Zhengyu suddenly pushed Zhou Qinya forward.
By now, Zhou Qinya already started to regret her decision.
Based on Young Lord Nie’s att.i.tude toward Lu Zhengyu, it was evident that Lu Zhengyu was not his friend as he had claimed. He could be one of Young Lord Nie’s goons at best. It was a far cry from what Lu Zhengyu had boasted about himself. However, she was before the presence of a powerful heir, so she quickly gathered herself and greeted the man in the white suit.
“Young Lord Nie, my name is Zhou Qinya and I am from the Jin City of Jiang Nan Province in the mainland. I study performance arts at Jin City University.”
Zhou Qinya played a ruse and omitted the name of the Business School and only mentioned the Jin City University. This would suddenly make her academic achievement much more impressive.
“Performance Arts faculty at the Jin City University?” Young Lord Nie’s interest was piqued.
He examined Zhou Qinya from head to toe.
Zhou Qinya was not the prettiest girl in the room and there were many other young models outside of the banquet room who were equally attractive, if not more so. Her appearance also paled in comparison with the superstar Li Xinru.
