The next day, early in the morning.
Bai Qiao had no classes today. To welcome Ye Ling, she woke up early to dress and groom herself, putting on her most beautiful white dress and leaving the house ahead of time.
Bai Qiao's unusual behavior surprised her roommates immensely.
In the eyes of Bai Qiao's roommates, she was an ugly duckling: poor, unpopular, and lacking in emotional intelligence. They believed no one would ever associate with her!
Now, with Bai Qiao all dressed up, her three roommates, unable to contain their curiosity, all got dressed and secretly followed her out.
Outside the gates of Jinghua University, Ye Ling, looking quite dapper, stood beside a business van worth around two hundred thousand yuan, quietly waiting for Bai Qiao's arrival.
Wang Liren, after a busy night, had finally managed to set up a reliable startup company for Ye Ling. He had also brought a sports car worth several million to support Ye Ling.
Wang Liren was pleased with his work and intended to seek praise from Ye Ling. However, upon seeing the ostentatious convertible supercar, Ye Ling immediately berated Wang Liren.
It wasn't that Ye Ling was stingy with money. After gaining control of the Tianyi conglomerate, few people in the world could rival Ye Ling's wealth. A few million yuan was a trivial sum to him.
The crucial point was that Bai Qiao was already somewhat insecure and didn't have good relationships at school. If he had truly parked a supercar worth millions outside the school, it would not only make Bai Qiao fearful of him but also spread unfavorable gossip about her among the students.
Compared to a supercar, a business van worth around two hundred thousand yuan was clearly more suitable for picking up Bai Qiao.
This type of business van was not overly luxurious but could still demonstrate the company's strength, preventing Bai Qiao from thinking the company was unreliable, and it wouldn't attract the attention of other students.
Wang Liren, having been scolded by Ye Ling, didn't understand what he had done wrong and felt extremely wronged.
Outside Jinghua University, Ye Ling didn't wait long before Bai Qiao, wearing a white dress, appeared at the campus entrance.
After returning home last night, Bai Qiao had made up her mind. She used the last of the money in her meal card to buy a cheap set of cosmetics and also got contact lenses. Coupled with the good fortune she had encountered since meeting Ye Ling, she had become more cheerful, and her gloomy demeanor had significantly faded.
At this moment, Bai Qiao had truly transformed into a great beauty.
Students who normally wouldn't even glance at Bai Qiao were now frequently casting admiring looks her way. Many students even stopped to watch at the school entrance.
Seeing Bai Qiao's dramatic transformation, Ye Ling shook his head and smiled, muttering to himself, "This girl, she's quite pretty when she makes an effort to dress up... When I teach her cultivation later and help her awaken her Sword Embryo, she should become a beauty capable of toppling nations..."
As Ye Ling was contemplating his next steps, Bai Qiao noticed Ye Ling on the street and quickly walked over to him, respectfully saying, "Mr. Ye, I'm ready."
Ye Ling helped open the car door and smiled, "Just call me Ye Ling. There's no need to be so formal. Get in, we'll sign the contract at the company."
"Okay," Bai Qiao nodded, nervously and obediently got into the car, and carefully fastened her seatbelt.
Seeing Bai Qiao's nervous demeanor, Ye Ling chuckled and closed the car door for her.
Afterward, Ye Ling glanced back towards the school, a cold glint flashing in his eyes before he quickly put on a smile again and got into the car.
After Ye Ling's car drove away, three girls ran out from the school gate: Bai Qiao's roommates, Yun Dandan, Jian Ya, and Zheng Qianqian.
Yun Dandan, the most beautiful among them and dressed in designer clothes, was the young lady of the Yun family in the capital and the mastermind behind instigating the three thugs to bully Bai Qiao.
The other two girls, although they had no personal grievances with Bai Qiao, knew the Yun family's power and naturally chose to side with Yun Dandan.
Jian Ya, wearing a tracksuit and slightly overweight, sneered as she saw Bai Qiao get into the car and leave, "I thought that bitch got up early to put on makeup for what, turns out she hooked up with some wild man! She always seemed so introverted, but I didn't expect her to be a slut in secret!"
Zheng Qianqian, wearing a pale yellow dress with pigtails and also quite attractive, gazed in the direction Ye Ling's car had driven off and said dreamily, "I caught a glimpse of that man from afar just now, he was really handsome..."
"That wild man is handsome?"
Upon hearing Zheng Qianqian's words, Jian Ya became even more unbalanced and cursed, "Why should that country bumpkin be able to date a handsome guy? I'm not convinced!"
"Enough!"
Yun Dandan, hearing the chatter of her two roommates, became somewhat impatient and sharply interrupted them.
She had followed them out, partly out of curiosity about Bai Qiao's unusual behavior this morning, and partly out of anxiety.
Yesterday, after notifying the three thugs to bully Bai Qiao, she thought Bai Qiao would completely disappear from her sight. She didn't expect Bai Qiao to return unharmed that night, and she couldn't contact the three thugs anymore.
Now that she couldn't reach her hired muscle, Yun Dandan vaguely felt that the three thugs had met with misfortune, and she harbored a sense of unease.
She was afraid Bai Qiao would discover her machinations and seek revenge!
Seeing Yun Dandan's gloomy expression, Jian Ya mistakenly thought Yun Dandan was also annoyed that Bai Qiao could attract a handsome guy and quickly said, "Sister Yun, don't be angry! The car that wild man drove was only worth around two hundred thousand, not even comparable to a finger of your boyfriend's car. There's nothing to envy!"
*Slap!*
Yun Dandan slapped Jian Ya across the face, cursing angrily, "You know nothing!"
Jian Ya, having been slapped hard, was completely stunned, feeling a burning pain on her swollen face.
She didn't understand what she had said wrong.
Seeing this, Zheng Qianqian wisely shut her mouth, daring not to speak, fearing that Yun Dandan's unwarranted anger might turn towards her.
After slapping Jian Ya, Yun Dandan felt somewhat relieved. She quickly called her family's butler, gave him Ye Ling's car license plate number, and asked him to investigate Ye Ling's background.
She had never seen Ye Ling before. Now that Ye Ling had suddenly appeared and her hired thugs had suddenly disappeared, it was hard for her not to connect Ye Ling to the incident.
After instructing the butler, Yun Dandan hung up the phone and looked in the direction Ye Ling had driven off, a hint of ruthlessness flashing in her eyes.
"I don't care who you are. If you dare to associate with Bai Qiao and mess with my people... I will make sure you regret it!"
Thinking of the miserable fate that awaited Ye Ling and Bai Qiao, Yun Dandan's mood immediately improved. She smiled again and said to Jian Ya and Zheng Qianqian, "I have plans to go shopping with my boyfriend today, so I won't be accompanying you. I'm leaving!"
With that, Yun Dandan left without looking back, her hips swaying, leaving Jian Ya and Zheng Qianqian bewildered on the spot.
Although they didn't understand why Yun Dandan was angry, they knew... Ye Ling was in for trouble.
In the capital, offending the Yun family would lead to no good end!
