Chapter 766: Rejecting The School Belle

In just a few days, Taoyuan Village Green Fresh Supermarket became completely famous in the whole of Beijing. The fame was not limited to the upper class but to the entirety of Beijing.

Due to this, business was booming. As the imperial capital of the entire country, Beijing was filled with many rich and powerful people. Therefore, the majority of people in the capital were not short of money.

When they heard that the food in Green Fresh Supermarket was delicious and special, they all rushed over to buy it.

Unfortunately, this supermarket did not accept reservations. They always followed the rules of first-come, first-served. Therefore, early in the morning, there would be many people lining up. When the doors opened at 8 am, many people would be squeezing in.

Of course, they had to follow the rules of the supermarket too. The customers could pick and choose the products, but they could not deliberately destroy them. For example, the cabbage looked the same and had the same size. Customers were allowed to examine them if they wanted, but they were not allowed to break off the leaves and damage the cabbage.

At other supermarkets, customers were allowed to pull off a few leaves. This was nothing. However, if one were found out doing this at Green Fresh, one would be fined. This was to stop those who had malicious intentions and wanted to deliberately cause damage.

Of course, these rules seemed a little unfair to the customer. However, since all the stuff on offer looked the same, there was really no need to examine them. A thorough examination would only make people suspicious.

The booming business and the heavy rules on the customers instantly made the supermarket famous on the internet.

Everyone in the business would put their customers first, but this supermarket imposed many rules on its customers. Such an interesting business attracted the curiosity of the young people the most.

…

On the basketball court of Imperial University, there was a burst of excited screams.

“Go, senior!”

“Go, Xiao Lingye!”

“Ah, senior, you’re so good! You scored another point!”

“Go, Wild Wolves!”

“Wild Wolves, you’re the best!”

The excited shouts rang out one after another on the basketball court.

When the game ended, Xiao Lingye, who was already 185 centimeters tall and had a handsome face, took a white towel from his roommate’s hand and wiped the sweat off his body.

At this moment, a pretty girl wearing a pink down jacket, a pair of nude stockings, and long hair draped over her shoulders walked over to stop Xiao Lingye. She had a confident look on her face.

“Jiang Shuyu just stopped our senior. What is she trying to do?”

Someone at the side covered his mouth and laughed, “What else can she do? She probably is going to confess.”

On the entire campus, everyone knew that the campus belle, Jiang Shuyu, liked Xiao Lingye.

However, Xiao Lingye was quite emotionless, so no one could tell whether he liked Jiang Shuyu or not.

In the eyes of many juniors, it was only right and proper for the two to be a couple. However, Xiao Lingye and Jiang Shuyu had never been seen alone together.

Xiao Lingye looked at Jiang Shuyu, who was blocking his way and frowned slightly. Then, he asked calmly, “Miss Jiang, what’s the matter?”

Jiang Shuyu’s expression cracked, but she quickly adjusted her expression and said with a smile, “I just came to ask. Mr. Xiao, can we have dinner together later?”

Jiang Shuyu was the school belle. For many male students, she was a goddess. If their Goddess asked them out for dinner, they would jump up in joy. However, that didn’t happen to them. Therefore, many male students looked at Xiao Lingye with envy and jealousy.

The roommate next to Xiao Lingye nudged the unromantic Xiao Lingye with his hand and said in a low voice with a smile, “Ye, the Goddess is inviting you. Hurry up and say yes!”

The others also joined in and said with a smile, “Ye, hurry up and say yes. Don’t let the Goddess wait for too long.”

Jiang Shuyu looked at Xiao Lingye with a confident and arrogant expression. Even though she was the one inviting him, she made it look like she was doing him a favor.

Xiao Lingye frowned, then coldly rejected her, “Sorry, I don’t have time!” Then, without waiting for Jiang Shuyu to react, he walked past Jiang Shuyu, ignoring the shocked expressions of the others.

He was cold and ruthless!

Everyone, “…”

Xiao Lingye’s roommate was stunned at first, but after he reacted, he immediately followed. One of his roommates wrapped his arms around Xiao Lingye’s neck, gave him a thumbs up, and said with a smile, “Ye, you really are something else. You have rejected our Goddess. Do you know that you’ve basically made the boys of our school your enemies?”

Xiao Lingye said indifferently, “I don’t like her, so why can’t I reject her?”

His roommates, “…”

The passing students who had been paying attention to them, “…”

Xiao Lingye was really heartless and cruel!

Xiao Lingye completely ignored the reactions of the others. He handed a towel to his roommates and said, “I’m going out later. I won’t be eating dinner and supper with you guys tonight.”

When his roommates heard this, they asked with some doubt, “Ye, where are you going?”

Xiao Lingye said, “My family is here. I’m going to meet my family!”

When he was in his second year of university, he started a company with a few classmates.

He had to study and take care of the company at the same time. He was very busy. It was hard for him to go back even during the winter and summer holidays, let alone during normal holidays.

Fortunately, the internet was very well-developed. He and his family could only contact each other by phone and video.

Even when his sister came to Beijing and the Gong Family, he only managed to find time to spend one night catching up with her. Then, he left in a hurry. Due to his sister’s shop opening, his family had basically all come to the capital. No matter what, he had to go and meet them.

When his roommate heard Xiao Lingye, he was a little surprised. “Have your parents come to the capital?”

Xiao Lingye nodded and said, “It’s not just my parents. My entire family is here.”

The roommate nodded. “Then, you should definitely go and join them!”

Xiao Lingye went to the changing room, changed his clothes, and left the school with his things. As soon as he left the school gate, he took a bus and left.

Therefore, he didn’t notice that there was a pair of angry and resentful eyes staring at him at the gate.

As the daughter of a rich family, Jiang Shuyu thought that she was being charitable to fancy a poor kid from the countryside.

However, she never expected that she would be rejected. There were so many people present, and Xiao Lingye’s rejection made her lose face.

She glared at the departed Xiao Lingye and turned away. A wave of hatred rose in her heart. She gritted her teeth and thought to herself, ‘Xiao Lingye, I will definitely make you pay for what you did to me. I will make you bow down to me. When that time comes, I will definitely torture you mercilessly.’

She stood at the school gate. Her eyes flashed viciously.

Not long after, a luxurious black car stopped in front of her. The driver came down and opened the door for her.

After Jiang Shuyu got into the car, she said calmly, “Old Li, follow the bus in front!”

Old Li frowned and said awkwardly, “Miss, today is the Jiang family’s gathering day. If we follow the bus, we’ll be delayed.”

Jiang Shuyu immediately reacted and said, “Then let’s go home!”

Family Gathering Day was more important. As for Xiao Lingye, there would be plenty of opportunities for revenge in the future.

The Xiao family needed to go home after staying with the Gong Family for two days. The main reason was that there were too many things to do at home, and only fourth uncle Xiao was left at home. Therefore, they couldn’t stay in Beijing for too long.

Mother Xiao and the others tidied up their clothes. Looking at the time, they said worriedly to father Xiao, “Ye ‘Er said that he would come over to meet us. It’s already so late, and he hasn’t come over yet. I hope nothing bad happens.”

Father Xiao smiled and comforted her, “Stop worrying. Ye ‘Er is already so grown. Look at the time. His class just ended. Plus, it’ll take time for him to get from the university to the Gong Family House.”

Xiao Lingyu smiled and said, “Mom, don’t worry. I just contacted Brother. He’s on the way.”

Gong Tianhao said, “Why don’t I drive to pick him up?”

Father Xiao frowned, “Forget it. With the traffic congestion in the capital and the rush hour, he might as well take the bus.”

Xiao Lingyu nodded and said, “Yes, Dad has a point. Little Brother is already on the bus. He will probably be home in half an hour.” At this point, Xiao Lingyu said, “Dad, Mom, can’t you really not stay for two more days?”

Mother Xiao shook her head and said, “No, there are too many things to do at home, especially since it’s almost the new year.” Mother Xiao then asked, “Yu ‘Er, Tianhao, this year’s New Year…”

Gong Tianhao didn’t wait for mother Xiao to finish asking and quickly said, “Dad, Mom, I’ve discussed it with Grandpa. We’re all going back to Taoyuan Village for the New Year!”

Mother Xiao’s eyes lit up, and she asked excitedly, “Really?”

“Yes, of course!” Gong Tianhao nodded and said, “New year is for a reunion. It’s more meaningful for our family to be together.”

“That’s great.” Mother Xiao’s eyes were a little red as she said, “Then we’ll wait for you guys to go home for the New Year.”

“Okay!”
