Chapter 290: Chapter 290 Aloof Campus Belle VS Gentle Flower (Part 3) Chapter 290: Chapter 290 Aloof Campus Belle VS Gentle Flower (Part 3) Gu Shengyin was wiping her tears with a tissue, finished the water at her side, and then began calling a waiter for a cup of ice water.
However, she heard a deep male voice beside her say, “Drinking something cold at this time isn’t good for your stomach.”
Immediately after, a cup of water was passed to her.
Gu Shengyin glanced at the man and then softly murmured a thank you.
With another cup of water down, Gu Shengyin felt the fiery sensation ease a little.
She glanced at the man who had returned to his seat, immaculate in a white shirt and wearing a silver watch. Gu Shengyin subconsciously looked at it; the brand was Patek Philippe.
Gu Shengyin had never seen a man who could wear a white shirt so elegantly. His eyebrows and eyes were exquisitely handsome, and his facial features combined were like the graceful gentlemen described in ancient texts, a gentleman as beautiful as jade, truly refined and cultured.
Judging by his age, he was only in his early twenties, probably a wealthy young master.
Still, wearing a white shirt to a hotpot restaurant was rather odd, Gu Shengyin thought to herself, then she let the thought pass.
After finishing her meal, Gu Shengyin checked the time and slowly made her way to the school.
It was still early, so she decided to take a walk to digest her food.
Lu Changting didn’t know why he was following this girl. Maybe it was because her appearance was so unlike the rumors?
He came to this hotpot restaurant only because he had a meeting with a friend who insisted on choosing this location. As it turned out, just before the meal, he received a call from his friend, saying something came up last minute and he couldn’t make it, telling him to just eat something casually.
Lu Changting almost hung up the phone with a sneer, Great, you managed to let me wait here alone for almost an hour and then so casually stood me up.
He paid and walked out, then saw Gu Shengyin ahead of him and slowly followed her, as he also had a class that afternoon.
As Gu Shengyin was passing through an underpass, someone almost grabbed her skirt.
She stepped back and looked at the hand.
The palm was rough, covered with gray dust, the crevices between fingers filled with thick grime.
“Kind-hearted person, please pity me, a homeless wanderer…” the beggar, seeing Gu Shengyin looking at him, groaned even more earnestly.
Gu Shengyin watched him intently; this beggar was indeed a real one. However, his stopping her today was not coincidental.
By now, Yuaen Chen must be not far from here.
In the original storyline, it was Sheng Lu who was directly caught by a beggar by her skirt. Shocked, she struggled to get away only for the beggar to fall and then attempt to extort thousands of dollars from her.
Sheng Lu, of course, would not suffer such loss. She was infuriated and flatly refused. She was disdainful of arguing with such a lowly person and directly called her family’s bodyguard to resolve the issue.
Although she did not lose out, this Sheng Lu, in the eyes of outsiders, especially Yuaen Chen’s, was seen as arrogant and overbearing.
Truthfully, Gu Shengyin did not think there was anything wrong with the girl’s actions. However, this time, she chose to respond differently.
She looked down at the beggar, “You have all your limbs, no sickness or disaster, why choose to be a person who tramples on your dignity every day? Clean yourself up, get any labor-intensive job. Is it that hard to support yourself?”
