Chapter 390: Chapter 390: Deeply Played Tricks (Three More Updates)
“You’re lucky this time, you ran into Yutong who’s easy to talk to. If it were someone else, it wouldn’t have gone so well,” a girl standing to the left of Zheng Yutong reminded Xiao Ling.
Xiao Ling, who had been looking down, finally raised his head and said to Zheng Yutong, “Miss, thank you for not blaming me.”
At the moment Xiao Ling raised his head, Zheng Yutong and her two girlfriends were momentarily stunned; they only just noticed how handsome and extraordinary he looked.
The two girls standing next to Zheng Yutong didn’t wait for her to answer and changed their tone from one of blame to friendliness: “It’s a small matter, don’t worry about it. You’re not hurt, are you?”
Xiao Ling had always been confident in his appearance and demeanor. Seeing the change in attitude of Yutong’s two friends, he knew that being handsome was indeed an advantage.
Xiao Ling said to Zheng Yutong’s two friends, “I’m fine, thank you for your concern.”
The eyes of the two girls were filled with a mesmerized glow: So handsome and well-mannered, does he have a girlfriend?
Xiao Ling looked at Zheng Yutong and said, “Miss, could I borrow your phone to make a call?”
Zheng Yutong was taken aback and said, “Borrow my phone to make a call?”
Xiao Ling nodded sincerely, “Yes, I’d like to use your phone to call the person who found my phone and ask them to return it to me.”
“But some people who find a phone never return it to the owner; they keep it for themselves. I think you should just buy a new one,” one of the girls next to Zheng Yutong kindly suggested to Xiao Ling.
Xiao Ling shook his head and said, “No way. The SIM card in that phone is too important because I’ve used it for many years and can’t bear to replace it. It has the numbers of all the friends I’ve known from middle school to college.
Without that SIM card, they won’t be able to contact me, and I don’t want to sever these long-standing friendships.
I can do without the phone, but I must get the SIM card back.”
The two girls standing beside Zheng Yutong both looked at Xiao Ling with admiration: They didn’t expect that not only is he handsome, but he’s also such a nostalgic guy. Such guys are often very devoted to their relationships.
Zheng Yutong also couldn’t help but think to herself: I didn’t expect him to be such a nostalgic guy.
Then she took out her OPPO phone from her pocket and handed it to Xiao Ling, saying, “Try using my phone!”
“Thank you!” Xiao Ling’s eyes revealed a trace of a barely noticeable successful scheme as he took the phone from Zheng Yutong and dialed his own number.
Then, Zheng Yutong and her two friends heard a phone ringing from Xiao Ling’s pocket.
Zheng Yutong and her two friends were taken aback: Didn’t Xiao Ling say he lost his phone?
So why is there a ringing phone in his pocket?
Zheng Yutong and her two friends exchanged glances and suddenly seemed to understand something.
Xiao Ling hung up the phone and saved the number he just dialed onto Zheng Yutong’s phone, then handed it back to her and said, “My name is Xiao Ling, and I did all this just to get your phone number and make friends with you.”
While saying this, Xiao Ling looked straight at Zheng Yutong, openly expressing his admiration for her.
After hearing Xiao Ling’s words and feeling his fiery gaze, Zheng Yutong’s celestial-like face immediately flushed with a faint blush.
“You’re so annoying!” Zheng Yutong grabbed her phone from Xiao Ling’s hand, dropped a comment, and quickly walked past him.
Zheng Yutong’s two friends also came to their senses and realized that this was all Xiao Ling’s little trick to get to know her on purpose.
The two girls said to Xiao Ling, “Hmph! What a deep game you played, you’re not a good person!”
Xiao Ling: …
Watching Zheng Yutong and her two friends walking to the Shencheng Grand Hotel, Xiao Ling felt quite aggrieved.
At this moment, Lin Fei, Qin Yunyue, and a few others approached Xiao Ling.
“Xiao Ling, how did it go?” Lin Fei asked Xiao Ling.
Xiao Ling smiled wryly, “She found out I tricked her and scolded me.”
Qin Yunyue, Xie Wenbo, and Li Qing immediately burst into laughter.
Lin Fei, feeling a bit embarrassed, said, “Looks like my idea of pretending you lost your phone wasn’t a good one.”
Xiao Ling, however, laughed and said, “It wasn’t a complete loss, at least I got her number.”
“Exactly, there’s still a chance,” Qin Yunyue chuckled.
Xiao Ling said confidently, “Since we have a whole summer vacation, no matter what, I’m determined to win over this goddess.”
“We’re rooting for you,” Lin Fei, Qin Yunyue, and the others immediately cheered him on.
The five of them walked along the beach for a while before returning to the hotel.
In a suite on the tenth floor of the same hotel sat Qin Zimo, Yuan Yuxi, Wang Yixin, Xiao Xiao, and Xie Yiting.
Wang Yixin looked at the other four girls and said, “I’ve already checked with the hotel reception, and Lin Fei and the others are staying on the thirtieth floor.”
Xiao Xiao said, “Yixin, are we really not letting Lin Fei and the others know we’re here in Shencheng this time?”
Wang Yixin replied, “I think it’s best not to let them know. We have our plans, and they have theirs. Of course, we should also keep an eye on Lin Fei to make sure he doesn’t run off flirting with girls.”
“Mm, I agree with Yixin. We have our plans, and they have theirs. I think it’s just fine. This time we came to Shencheng to have fun, and naturally to keep an eye on Lin Fei as well,” Qin Zimo agreed with Wang Yixin’s words.
However, Xie Yiting hesitated and said to Qin Zimo, “But Zimo, doesn’t this mean I won’t be able to see your brother?”
This time she came with Qin Zimo to Shencheng because Qin Yunyue was here, and that’s why she tagged along.
Qin Zimo said to Xie Yiting, “Yiting, who said you can’t see my brother? Just don’t tell him we’re here, that’s all.”
Xie Yiting’s face lit up with joy, “Zimo, don’t worry, I won’t tell them.”
In a presidential suite on the hotel’s top floor, Zheng Yutong was wearing casual pajamas, sitting on the sofa watching TV.
Just then, the door clicked open, and a tall, handsome, well-dressed man in his thirties with extraordinary demeanor entered the room.
“Yutong, why haven’t you changed yet? Didn’t I tell you? Liu Xuan from the Capital City wants to meet you tonight, and we’re going to welcome him,” the man said slightly displeased to Zheng Yutong.
However, Zheng Yutong remained seated on the sofa, showing no intention of getting up, and said, “Brother, I don’t want to meet this Liu Xuan.”
The man was Zheng Yutong’s brother, Zheng Wenbin.
The eldest son of Shencheng’s wealthiest Zheng family.
Zheng Wenbin frowned slightly, sat down on the sofa next to his sister, and said, “Yutong, can’t you stop being so impulsive?
The Liu family in the Capital City and our Zheng family have been family friends for generations, and both families hope for a union between you and Liu Xuan.
If you refuse to see him, what would the Liu family think?
Moreover, the Liu family is about to sign a real estate project in Deep Water Bay with us, investing billions. If you act impulsively and sabotage this business project between our two families, our Zheng family will suffer significant losses.”
However, Zheng Yutong stubbornly said, “Why do you have to trade my happiness for your business collaboration?
The two families are also hoping you’d marry the Liu family’s daughter, aren’t they?
Why is it that the eldest Liu daughter can refuse, but I can’t?
Brother, no matter what, I’m not going to meet that Liu Xuan tonight. I don’t like him.”
Angrily, Zheng Wenbin pointed at his sister, “You…”
