Chapter 222: Everyone Has Their Own Way of Living!
Chapter 222: Everyone Has Their Own Way of Living!
Chen Xin reluctantly accepted Lin Wan'er's explanation, but seeing his girlfriend constantly glancing at her junior classmate made him feel uneasy again.
Zhang Lin prefers a laid-back style, so letting him be relaxed is the way to go. Why fuss over his hair?
Really, for a man, his hairstyle can make a huge difference.
With a suit to highlight his features and a proper hairstyle, Zhang Lin could stand alongside any big celebrity without losing his shine.
Now, his girlfriend was completely captivated.
"Zhang, you look really handsome tonight," Lin Muxue couldn't help but praise.
Indeed, after he tidied up, she found herself staring at him, her heart racing a bit.
This was the first time she felt this way.
"Senior Sister, you look beautiful tonight too," Zhang Lin sincerely complimented her.
Tonight, he truly felt the charm of this senior sister.
Wearing this outfit to the alumni party, she would undoubtedly be pursued by countless talented seniors and juniors.
"Let's head to the party venue!" Lin Muxue urged as they returned.
"Sure," Zhang Lin nodded.
Lin Wan'er hurriedly pulled her sister, walking in front while deliberately keeping some distance from Zhang Lin and Chen Xin, as if she had something confidential to say.
Chen Xin scanned Zhang Lin with a helpless look.
"Senior Brother, what's that look for?" Zhang Lin asked in confusion.
Chen Xin teased, "Junior Brother, although you look pretty impressive now, I think you should dress up more often. Otherwise, always wearing casual clothes and flip-flops, and not styling your hair, is a bit of a waste."
Zhang Lin pursed his lips. If it weren't for the beauty-enhancing sweet potatoes and those medicinal wines, he wouldn't look so polished either.
However, if he can look polished, he might as well dress up for formal occasions in the future.
After walking a distance, Lin Wan'er couldn't help but say, "Sis, did you see? Zhang really looks amazing tonight."
"Um!" Lin Muxue nodded, then reminded her sister, "You have a boyfriend, don't be so starry-eyed."
Lin Wan'er rolled her eyes and said, "Does that mean only I should be starry-eyed? Sis, shouldn't you be a bit starry-eyed too? I think Zhang is really great, and I can tell he likes you. Why don't you consider it?"
"Stop talking nonsense. He has a girlfriend," Lin Muxue quickly said.
Lin Wan'er looked at her sister critically, "So, you're not interested because he has a girlfriend? But Zhang isn't married yet, and even if he is, successful men sometimes have privileges, you know that, right?"
Lin Muxue began to lecture her sister, "Why are you learning all these messy things? I should tell Chen Xin. Excellent men have privileges, not!"
"He'd dare! I'll break his legs," Lin Wan'er immediately said, "Besides, he doesn't have that status yet. Even if he did, it wouldn't be allowed."
Lin Muxue glared at her, "So, this kind of thing is not allowed for you, but it's okay for me?"
Lin Wan'er said seriously, "But I plan to get married and have children. You have a problem with your mindset, not planning to get married. Blame me?"
"..." Lin Muxue was speechless.
She didn't know what to say to her sister.
After a moment of shock, Lin Wan'er directly said to the Zhang Lin behind them, "Zhang, my sister has something to ask you, but she's too shy to say it."
"???" Lin Muxue glared at her sister.
What is she up to?
Zhang Lin asked in confusion, "What is it?"
Lin Wan'er hurriedly said, "Look at my sister, how beautiful she looks in this outfit, how good her figure is. When we go to the ballroom, many people might come up to chat or even ask her to dance. So, she wants you to pretend to be her boyfriend. She's too shy to say it herself."
Lin Muxue suddenly had the urge to strangle her sister. When did she ever have such a thought?
But Lin Wan'er already giggled and ran to Chen Xin, holding his arm, leaving Lin Muxue with a face full of embarrassment.
As Zhang Lin approached her, she hurriedly said, "Um, it was my sister's idea, acting on her own."
"Sure, I know Senior Sister wouldn't have such thoughts," Zhang Lin smiled. "If you really find those seniors and juniors bothersome, I don't mind being your shield."
For some reason, he suddenly didn't mind this at all.
After all, Senior Sister was his capable assistant, and helping her avoid trouble was just a natural thing to do.
Was there anything wrong with that?
"Since President Zhang offers to do this, it can really save me a lot of trouble," Lin Muxue said with a smile, casually linking her arm with his. At her age, using her boss as a shield to avoid trouble, especially when he agreed, was nothing to be shy about.
"Let's go then!" Zhang Lin smiled.
Behind them, Chen Xin and Lin Wan'er watched the scene unfold.
Chen Xin suddenly said, "Something feels off, like there's something more here?"
"Did you notice too?" Lin Wan'er smiled. "There's nothing more, I've been working on this for a while."
Chen Xin seemed to understand his girlfriend's meaning but couldn't help reminding her, "Junior Brother is dating that girl, Fu Yao, and they seem to be very much in love."
Lin Wan'er shrugged, "I can tell. After so long, my sister really doesn't want to get married. She's gotten used to her freedom and probably won't change her lifestyle for marriage."
"Once a woman becomes an independent woman, she can get pretty stubborn. But a woman shouldn't be without a man to take care of her."
"Maybe, if someone checks in on my sister every few days and lets her live freely the rest of the time, it might be good for her."
"Ugh," Chen Xin looked at Lin Wan'er in surprise, unable to resist teasing her, "You really are a good sister."
"Stop nagging and let's go!" Lin Wan'er huffed, "Don't get any funny ideas."
The alumni banquet was held at the hotel where they were staying, with the school reserving a banquet hall.
When Zhang Lin and Lin Muxue arrived, they saw Chen Hao, Wu Ling, Hu Dong, and others there. To his surprise, they were all dressed in suits, taking selfies by the Xin Hua University alumni banner.
He knew these people didn't have invitations or access passes.
But what was the point of this?
Was vanity really that important?
Honestly, in his eyes, Chen Hao and his group were no different from those women who pooled money to rent a luxury car, taking turns to take photos and post them on social media. In fact, Chen Hao's group was even worse.
When Chen Hao and the others saw Zhang Lin, they didn't recognize him at first.
After all, the last time they met, Zhang Lin had been quite laid-back, even riding a scooter, looking like a loafer.
Now, he looked like a celebrity.
When they finally recognized him, they felt a deep sense of shame and disbelief.
"Is... is that really him?" Wu Ling was stunned, feeling a wave of regret. How could he have achieved so much and look so handsome? She had had a chance to pursue him before, but hadn't seen it clearly.
Faced with Zhang Lin's amused gaze, they couldn't bear to stay any longer and hurriedly left.
Sometimes, successful people can make others feel inferior just by their appearance.
Zhang Lin didn't pay much attention to them, passing the security check and walking straight into the banquet hall.
Lin Muxue, holding his arm affectionately, followed him in.
Inside the banquet hall, the invited alumni were all dressed up nicely. However, when Zhang Lin and Lin Muxue entered, they still drew everyone's attention.
Lin Muxue was already a famous beauty among Xin Hua University alumni.
But the alumnus who had founded Liyuan Farm looked even more stunning in the evening, overshadowing Lin Muxue and leaving everyone amazed. His appearance was so different from the daytime that it was almost breathtaking.
