Chapter 1924 - 1920: The Big Shot Arrives

"Hey." Watching Ye Ning get out of the Bentley from behind, Gu Qingcheng squinted and looked for a while.

Ye Ning turned around and looked, "What’s up?"

Gu Qingcheng said, "Is this the worst car your family has?"

"Uh..." Ye Ning said, "I don’t know."

"Every time you come to school in this car, many people talk."

Ye Ning shrugged, "Well, my family is at this level. I can’t just drive an Alto every day because I’m afraid of what people say, right? What’s the point of my family making so much money then?"

He laughed, "You really have a lot of twisted logic."

"It’s logic, what do you mean twisted logic, seriously..."

The two laughed and talked all the way in, which drew even more people’s attention.

Once they reached the door, he suddenly said, "By the way, are you going to attend the big lecture this afternoon?"

"What big lecture?"

"A teacher will give a lecture, it should be a speech. We invite celebrities to give speeches every Friday afternoon."

Ye Ning said, "Of course, I’ll go. I’m such a diligent and studious student."

He chuckled, just saying, "Then wait for me in the afternoon."

"Huh?"

"You don’t know anyone else, right? I’ll take you." He said, then went inside.

Ye Ning responded with an "oh" and went into her classroom.

Now...

Privately, people started gossiping.

Is Tang Wan involved with Gu Qingcheng somehow?

Could Gu Qingcheng be interested in Tang Wan?

No, Tang Wan must be interested in Gu Qingcheng, trying to win him over. Tang Wan didn’t have a good reputation before, and she wasn’t hesitant to pursue men actively in the past.

But why would Gu Qingcheng pay attention to her? Everyone was pondering this question.

Ye Ning felt that now, some girls in the class seemed to look at her differently.

Different in a way unlike before.

But it was definitely not right.

There was a faint hostility that Ye Ning could sense.

Ye Ning continued to sleep in class.

Unexpectedly, to further tarnish her reputation in Gu Qingcheng’s eyes, a student posted a picture of her sleeping directly onto the school’s official forum.

"I don’t understand how a student like this could get into our school."

The title read like that, followed by the image of Ye Ning sleeping on her desk.

Of course, there was a lot of discussion underneath.

However, whether Gu Qingcheng saw it or not was unknown.

But, this afternoon, before the big lecture began, everyone noticed Gu Qingcheng’s presence at the door again.

He stood waiting, until Ye Ning came out.

"Hey."

Under everyone’s surprised gaze, Gu Qingcheng proactively walked toward Ye Ning.

Ye Ning smiled, "You actually waited for me, huh."

"Yeah, let’s get there early, we can take front-row seats. I asked my classmates to save spots."

"Really, you saved a spot for me?"

"Yes."

"Alright, thank you."

"I heard someone impressive is coming this time, everyone seems to know, so many are going."

"Really." Ye Ning wasn’t actually interested in lectures.

She wasn’t interested in celebrities either.

But since everyone was going, she couldn’t refuse.

She originally thought about finding a spot at the back and just sleeping directly, but now it seemed impossible.

They quickly arrived at the venue and realized, indeed, lots of people had come.

Almost filled up.

This meant, as they entered the auditorium, they became the focus of everyone’s attention.

All the way, eyes followed them to the front row.

In the front row, Gu Qingcheng’s classmates called out, "Hey, Gu Qingcheng."

Then, they looked ambiguously at Ye Ning beside him.
