Chapter 691: Chapter 349: Bai Yunfei? Did He Eat the Heart of a Bear and the Gall of a Leopard?
"Do you think I’m different from the Luo Meixiang you imagined?"
Luo Meixiang lowered her head, stirring her coffee vigorously, and carefully asked.
The past few days with Lin Beichen had been the most relaxed she had ever felt.
Perhaps it was because the heavy stone in her heart had finally been set down, and her hidden nature could be fully expressed. Luo Meixiang was noticeably more lively in front of Lin Beichen than she was with others.
"Now you look like a college student, not like the girl who deliberately suppressed her nature at the college party."
Lin Beichen said with a faint smile.
Luo Meixiang suddenly looked up, staring at Lin Beichen in disbelief.
She had been suppressing her true nature. For years, she had always wanted to be as cheerful as Jin Chuchu, but the fatalistic sign of the Celestial Killer Lone Star hovered above her like a sword, warning her not to get carried away.
"Ever since I confirmed the Celestial Killer Lone Star, my whole life has changed..."
Luo Meixiang stared blankly at Lin Beichen, the smile on her face gradually fading, and her voice carried a hint of bitterness.
Lin Beichen sat quietly beside her, listening without offering comfort or interrupting, just letting her speak.
Now, Luo Meixiang did not need his deliberate comfort, she just needed to let it all out.
After Luo Meixiang had finished speaking, Lin Beichen reached out and slowly wrapped her cold little hand, revealing a slight smile.
"Since Mr. Li Jiang entrusted you to me, I will ensure your safety. Even if heaven wants you dead, I won’t let anything happen to you."
Lin Beichen said solemnly.
Feeling the scorching warmth of Lin Beichen’s hand, a hint of panic flashed across Luo Meixiang’s face, and she hurriedly said:
"Mr. Lin, I’m not afraid of dying, nor am I playing the victim. I’m just worried about affecting others, especially my family."
Luo Meixiang hesitated for a moment, then added:
"My sister’s dream is to become a superstar and tour the world. My brother’s dream is to become an entrepreneur, leading the family business to conquer unknown markets with technology, and take the family enterprise to the top of the world. I don’t want to drag them down."
Lin Beichen silently nodded in his heart, very pleased.
From the time he had spent with her, he could tell that Luo Meixiang was indeed kind-hearted.
This girl, even when she was in danger, always maintained a bit of kindness.
At times, she would rather be hurt herself than see others suffer.
Perhaps it was precisely because of this character that Mr. Li Jiang was willing to use a favor to ask him to help.
"You keep talking about other people’s dreams. Why don’t you talk about yours? Don’t you want to see the outside world, make more friends, and lead a more exciting life?"
Lin Beichen chuckled.
As he finished speaking, a burst of fireworks suddenly ignited over the lakeside outside the park.
The fireworks lit up the night sky and also brightened Luo Meixiang’s dim eyes.
Luo Meixiang gazed at the fireworks in fascination and couldn’t help but smile.
Huadu, the top-floor villa of Songqiao Group.
Songqiao Group had undertaken the entire construction of Huadu and developed many villa projects.
These villa projects were all located in the expensive noble district, each worth tens of millions, and the king villa was valued at over one hundred million.
Many wealthy individuals had inquired about this villa, even making offers, but Zhang Songqiao never sold it, intending to leave it for his son.
Zhang Changhuai sat at a desk in the study by the window of the villa, studying some documents intently.
"Young master, ever since you gave the orders, I had people investigate this Lin Beichen overnight."
A middle-aged man stood by the desk, looking at Zhang Changhuai with an ingratiating expression.
He was one of the executives of Songqiao Group, with an annual salary of millions, managing thousands of people under him, already a rare success story, yet he still did not dare to show any temper in front of this young master.
Because he knew, this seemingly beautiful and kind-hearted young man in front of him, once angered, you wouldn’t even know how you died.
When Zhang Songqiao had Zhang Changhuai take over the project, many had acted contrary to his wishes, hoping to see Zhang Changhuai make a fool of himself, but in the end, those people were either kicked out of the group and destitute, or driven to desperation, ending in suicide.
"Lin Beichen, a man from the North, was inconspicuous in elementary and middle school. It wasn’t until high school that his talents suddenly emerged, and with extraordinary grades and aptitude, he entered Imperial Capital University. He quickly became unstoppable, being recognized as the most talented student of Imperial Capital University in a hundred years. But for some reason, he is now a student at Foreign Affairs College."
The man explained while Zhang Changhuai listened quietly, his brows furrowing unconsciously.
He had thought Lin Beichen was nothing special, just a mediocre person, but the rumors about Luo Meixiang and Lin Beichen had been growing these past few days, hinting at the confirmation of their relationship, finally making him realize something was wrong.
Luo Meixiang was his woman. Though she hadn’t agreed, he had announced it back in high school.
In their circle, everyone knew his reputation and dared not get too close to Luo Meixiang because they understood that no one could take away something Zhang Changhuai had his eyes on.
However, despite his anger, Zhang Changhuai did not act immediately.
He wielded thunderous power, but he was never reckless. He always deliberated before making any decisions.
Before taking action, he would first confirm Lin Beichen’s identity. Only after ensuring that Lin Beichen posed no threat would he strike, delivering a lethal blow to Lin Beichen.
