Chapter 284 Encountering a Marriage Proposal
There was no controversy surrounding this dance battle.
Anyone can see the difference between the two sides.
After Xiao Chen and Lin Youyou finished, many people looked at Zhou Meiru.
Since Lin Youyou won, it's her turn to fulfill the bet and lie on the ground imitating a pig's squeal.
"Zhou Meiru is the daughter of the most powerful family in Lingzhou. Making her lie on the ground and squeal like a pig will definitely be the headline of the provincial newspaper tomorrow, and the Zhou family will lose all face!" someone whispered.
"The rich girl was defeated in a dance battle and started squealing like a pig. In no time, the news will be all over Yingcai University. How will Zhou Meiru ever be able to face anyone then?"
Hearing the whispers around her, Zhou Meiru's face turned ashen, as if she had swallowed a fly.
How could she possibly lie down like that?
"You've won. What you do next is up to you," Xiao Chen said to Lin Youyou.
Lin Youyou glanced at Zhou Meiru.
"Zhou Meiru, although you've targeted me many times, forget about lying on the ground and squealing like a pig. I, Lin Youyou, don't enjoy humiliating others," she said calmly.
"Thank you for not holding a grudge," Zhou Meiru replied, forcing a smile.
“Zhou Meiru is the daughter of the most powerful family in Lingzhou. To humiliate her is to humiliate the Zhou family. Our Lin family is still in the development stage. If they target us, it will be quite troublesome.” Lin Youyou explained to Xiao Chen in a low voice, afraid that Xiao Chen would overthink it.
Xiao Chen looked surprised.
Lin Youyou actually had such foresight.
This little girl is growing up so fast.
“You’re the one involved, so you can decide whatever you want. But don’t worry, no matter how powerful your Zhou family is, I can still smooth things over for you.” Xiao Chen nodded.
"I knew Brother Xiao Chen cared about me." Lin Youyou smiled happily.
Lin Youyou has a great sense of the big picture, which is a good thing.
However, if it were him, he wouldn't repay evil with kindness.
Looking at Zhou Meiru's expression, there was not a trace of gratitude; on the contrary, her eyes were even colder.
The party then continued.
Because of her performance, Lin Youyou stole the show, and many people came over to befriend her, while Xiao Chen was pushed aside.
He didn't mind, and just stood there and drank some red wine.
These wealthy young men were very extravagant at their parties, serving only fine wines, and he drank a couple more glasses than he intended.
This scene caught Zhou Meiru's eye, prompting her to reveal a mocking expression.
Xiao Chen's dancing skills were so high that she thought he had some kind of background. Now it seems that he doesn't look like a rich person at all, but rather looks poor and shabby.
She immediately felt much better and started to come up with some ideas.
"Youyou, marry me!"
Suddenly, a sound came from the side, causing an uproar.
Xiao Chen raised an eyebrow and turned to look.
Lin Youyou looked bewildered. In front of her stood a man in a blue suit holding roses and a ring, staring intently at her.
The ring featured a large gemstone that emitted a unique and dazzling light.
"Marry him! Marry him!" the onlookers began to jeer.
"Am I seeing things?" a girl exclaimed, her eyes shining as she looked at the emerald green gemstone set in the ring.
"This is a natural green jade that was auctioned off just last month by a prestigious auction house in the capital! And it's already been set in a ring so quickly..."
"Top-grade green spirit jade, quite valuable. This piece of natural green spirit jade fetched a high price of 30 million at the Imperial Capital Auction House. It turns out that it was bought by Young Master Kang and made into an engagement ring. He's actually willing to spend so much for Lin Youyou!"
The students watching were all talking excitedly, marveling at the expensive engagement ring.
Beside her, Zhou Meiru stared intently at the gemstone ring in Kang Shao's hand, her face filled with jealousy.
When she first enrolled, she took a liking to Kang Ming, but he ignored her advances and instead pursued Lin Youyou.
That's when she started to hold a grudge against Lin Youyou and began targeting her from all sides.
Unexpectedly, at the graduation party, Kang Ming proposed to Lin Youyou in front of everyone with a green jade ring, which infuriated her.
Amidst the jeers and cheers of the surrounding students, Lin Youyou looked embarrassed.
"Kangming, I'm sorry, I can't accept your proposal," she said helplessly.
"Why? Lin Youyou, I've been pursuing you for four years! Aren't these four years enough to prove my sincerity? You always put your studies first and rejected me. Now that I've finally entered university, I'm willing to give up a lot for you. Why won't you say yes?" Kang Ming raised his head, his expression extremely agitated.
With so many people watching, and having spent a fortune to acquire the Green Spirit Jade gemstone from the capital's auction house, Lin Youyou's refusal would make him a laughingstock.
"Kang Ming, stop being so persistent. I don't like you at all!" Lin Youyou said earnestly.
Kang Ming was struck dumb.
"What's wrong with me? Have you fallen for someone else?" he pressed relentlessly.
"There's nothing wrong with you, and I haven't taken a liking to anyone. It's just that feelings can't be forced. Take your ring back, and don't waste any more time on me." Lin Youyou advised, then turned to leave.
"Don't go!" Kang Ming grabbed her hand, his face looking rather frightening.
"If you don't agree to my demands today, I'll kneel here forever!"
"I..." Lin Youyou was immediately caught in a dilemma.
"Since she doesn't like you, you shouldn't bother her anymore!" a voice came from the side.
It was Xiao Chen who walked over.
He pulled Lin Youyou away, causing Kang Ming to miss his target.
"Who are you?" Kang Ming's face immediately turned cold.
He wasn't present beforehand because he was busy setting up the proposal scene, and he didn't know Xiao Chen.
“Brother Xiao Chen is my dance partner…” Lin Youyou said.
"Dance partner?"
Upon hearing this word, Kang Ming's gaze turned cold, and a fierce look appeared on his face.
"I haven't heard anything about when you got a dance partner!"
Over the course of four years, Kang Ming tried to invite Lin Youyou to be his dance partner many times, but she never agreed.
How long has this person been around, yet he's already able to have close contact with her?
Anger flared up in Kang Ming's heart.
"Kang Ming, you don't know, do you? Just now, Lin Youyou and her dance partner were perfectly in sync, putting on an absolutely wonderful performance..." Zhou Meiru walked over and said teasingly.
"That kind of inseparable feeling is impossible to achieve without thousands of rehearsals."
"They've probably been together for a long time already, what haven't they done? And you're still foolishly groveling before, I feel sorry for you!"
Upon hearing this, Kang Ming's eyes reddened.
The goddess he had dreamed of, whom he had tried for four years without ever winning her heart, turned out to be so cheap to someone else…
At this moment, Kang Ming's veins bulged, and he almost exploded on the spot.
"Kang Ming, don't listen to her nonsense. My relationship with Xiao Chen is completely innocent. My rejection of you has nothing to do with him," Lin Youyou said anxiously.
But Kang Ming was no longer listening, and Lin Youyou's words only made things worse.
Kang Ming glared fiercely at Xiao Chen, his face contorted with rage.
"Who do you think you are? How dare you steal my woman?" His tone was icy and full of anger.
"No matter who you are, get away from Lin Youyou immediately, get as far away as possible, and never come near her again!" Kang Ming said in a commanding tone.
Xiao Chen smiled coldly.
Is this person mentally ill?
