Chapter 552: Chapter 552: The Family Head is Waiting for You
“Alright,” Lu Youxi nodded.
After hanging up the phone, she said to Lu Xiaohui and the others, “I’m heading back to the dorm first. You guys go ahead and eat; don’t wait for me.”
Mo Yuchun then said, “How about we get the food and bring it back to the dorm so we can all eat together? Otherwise, by the time the driver gets here, it’ll take a while. It’s noon now and Imperial Capital is at its worst with traffic.”
Lu Youxi thought it over. She didn’t need to run back to the dorm just to avoid Lin Jingshen.
Wouldn’t that be giving Lin Jingshen too much face?
She was never the type to run away.
So she said, “I’ll just go with you. By the time we finish eating, the driver should be almost here.”
“I have no reason to hide in the dorm just because of a lunatic,” Lu Youxi explained.
“Alright,” Mo Yuchun and the others nodded.
In perfect understanding, they let Lu Youxi walk in the middle, flanking her on both sides, effectively blocking Lin Jingshen from getting close.
Lin Jingshen was annoyed but he held back his anger, continuing to follow them.
She was still thinking, Lu Youxi called her ‘husband’ to have a driver come over?
What a drama queen.
Probably it was a driver from her own company.
It was just to save face for her ‘husband,’ pretending to ask him to send a driver.
Unexpectedly, Lu Youxi still considered her ‘husband’s’ feelings so much.
On the way, because Lin Jingshen kept following, it attracted quite a few glances.
But no matter what Lin Jingshen said, Lu Youxi never responded.
It made Lin Jingshen seem as if he was talking to himself.
Lin Jingshen didn’t even show any signs of being hurried, impatient, or bursting with anger.
He displayed a patient and serious demeanor in pursuing Lu Youxi.
Lu Youxi sneered and thought to herself that she would have to check again to see what kind of game Lin Jingshen was really playing.
Entering the dining hall, Lu Xiaohui quickly secured a four-person table.
They all brought their own water bottles.
Setting their water bottles on the table to save four spots, they ignored Lin Jingshen and went to get their food.
Lin Jingshen pursed his lips. He normally didn’t eat in the university dining hall, so he had no experience with saving seats, nor did he have anything inconsequential like a water bottle to mark his place.
So, he followed Lu Youxi and the others to the food counter and said to Lu Youxi, “What do you want to eat? I’ll buy it for you.”
Lu Youxi sneered and said, “Do I need you to buy me food? Who do you think you are?”
Lu Youxi was even close to blurting out swears directly.
“We’re all classmates,” Lin Jingshen brought up the same excuse again.
Lu Youxi mocked, “You, a freeloader, don’t play the rich kid out here.”
Lin Jingshen: “!!!”
He was a rich second-generation, how did he become a freeloader?
“Have you made any successful business deals now? Is your salary still given by your dad? Is the base salary he gives you enough, or do you still have to spend the pocket money from your family?” Lu Youxi peppered him with questions, “If that’s not being a freeloader, what is?”
Lin Jingshen: “…”
Which rich second-generation needs to work hard to make their own money?
In fact, it could even be said that as long as they aren’t aiming to start their own business or get involved in gambling or drugs, just living off their family’s wealth, no matter how extravagantly they spend, they could never deplete it in several lifetimes.
How did he become a freeloader in Lu Youxi’s mouth?
“I spend the money I earn through my own business skills, and I spend it with a clear conscience,” Lu Youxi stated. “Don’t show off in front of me.”
Lin Jingshen took a deep breath, explaining, “It’s just buying some food from the cafeteria, it’s not showing off.”
“Pfft,” Lu Youxi’s face was full of scorn.
Lu Xiaohui, knowing more about Lin Jingshen’s reputation and hearing plenty of gossip, knew that Lin Jingshen didn’t actually eat at the school’s dining hall.
So, she asked, “Senior Brother Lin, do you have a meal card?”
Lin Jingshen was stunned: “…”
Seeing his reaction, Xia Jinqiao said coldly, “You need a meal card to eat in the cafeteria; cash is useless.”
Lin Jingshen: “…”
So, he couldn’t even eat in the cafeteria for lunch that day if he had wanted to.
He watched helplessly as Lu Youxi and her three friends swiped their meal cards, grabbed their food, and headed to the seats they had just secured.
Meanwhile, the nearby tables were all still occupied by diners.
Lin Jingshen had nowhere to sit and didn’t want to just stand around in the cafeteria.
The scent of the food was all around him, and he was actually getting a bit hungry.
So, Lin Jingshen went to wait outside the cafeteria door.
Lu Youxi just had finished eating when she received a call from Zhou Shuyan.
She let Lu Xiaohui and the other two know.
Immediately, the three of them agreed to accompany Lu Youxi out.
At least with the three of them there, they could block Lin Jingshen from getting near Lu Youxi.
Thus, the group of four left the cafeteria together.
Unexpectedly, Lin Jingshen had been waiting right outside the cafeteria door all along.
When he saw Lu Youxi come out, he called out to her again.
Lu Youxi took a deep breath; Lin Jingshen was sticking to her like a plaster, not expecting him to take such a relentless approach.
“Lu Youxi, has your driver come to pick you up?” Lin Jingshen’s words sounded quite sarcastic.
Lu Youxi nodded coldly.
Let Lin Jingshen follow if he enjoys it so much.
This time, however, Lu Youxi was willing to let Lin Jingshen follow.
If he didn’t follow, how would he see?
Thankfully, her roommates kept Lin Jingshen at bay.
With people in between them, it wasn’t so convenient for Lin Jingshen to talk to Lu Youxi.
When they reached the entrance, Lin Jingshen still couldn’t resist reaching out to grab Lu Youxi’s wrist.
But he was blocked by Lu Xiaohui and the other two, and Lu Youxi also stepped back, avoiding Lin Jingshen’s attempt to touch her.
Lin Jingshen grasped at air, then blocked her path, saying, “Lu Youxi, you’re getting further and further away from your good-for-nothing husband. What’s the point of staying with him? He’s not worthy of you.”
“Madam,” at the Jing University entrance, the driver stood beside Zhou Shuyan’s Bentley, and upon seeing Lu Youxi, he immediately stepped forward.
Lu Youxi was a bit surprised to see Zhou Shuyan’s car.
She had thought that Zhou Shuyan would have sent a company car to pick her up.
She hadn’t expected him to come directly in his own vehicle.
“The Family Head is waiting for you,” said the driver.
Lin Jingshen couldn’t help but look over, thinking to himself that Lu Youxi’s husband really knew how to put on a show in full swing.
He made the driver use a luxury car and didn’t forget to have the driver call him Family Head.
What Family Head.
It made the title sound quite imposing.
But in the entire Imperial Capital, those who could be called Family Head were top-tier figures.
Lu Youxi’s husband must have heard this title somewhere and decided to adopt it.
Lin Jingshen thought with a sneer in his heart.
At another glance, he noticed the car was actually a Bentley.
Indeed, not cheap.
But with Lu Youxi’s current wealth, it wasn’t something she couldn’t afford.
Perhaps Lu Youxi had bought it, but she never brought it to the university, so nobody knew she had such a luxury car in her possession.
