In the parking lot, next to a luxury car, there was a young man dressed in high-end designer clothes. Seeing Yun Ling and others appear, he frowned and said, "Yun Ling, why are you so slow? I've been waiting forever."
"You must be Yun Ling's friends, right?"
However, when the young man saw Lin Chuxue, he noticed her stunning beauty, and his eyes lit up, instantly wiping away his previous displeased expression, replaced by a disingenuous smile.
"This is my boyfriend, Man Shengjian."
At this mont, Yun Ling simply introduced both sides, saying, "This is my friend I told you about, Lin Chuxue, and her friend, Ye Qiu."
"Hello."
Lin Chuxue and Ye Qiu politely shook hands with Man Shengjian, but when Man Shengjian shook hands with Lin Chuxue, he wore a bright smile, while with Ye Qiu, it was just a casual gesture, and he seed sowhat impatient.
Regarding Man Shengjian's blatant attitude, Ye Qiu raised his brows, but didn't say anything.
After opening the car door and letting everyone in, Man Shengjian pretentiously boasted to Lin Chuxue, "Take a look at my car, isn't it great? I just had soone bring this Bugatti 468, the latest limited edition, priced at over ten million US Dollars, and you won't find more than three of these in the country."
While saying this, Man Shengjian looked quite proud.
Of course, Man Shengjian had the ans to be proud, after all, a car worth nearly a billion was enough to rival the value of a major company, and not everyone could afford it.
Even Lin Chuxue was surprised to hear how expensive the car was, while Ye Qiu narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Chuxue, since you're here in Gan Province, you should stay a few more days. If you run into any trouble, just ask us for help, we're always here to assist."
Yun Ling also felt a sense of superiority from Man Shengjian's boasting and openly said to Lin Chuxue, while glancing at Man Shengjian with a coy smile, "Right, Man Shengjian~"
"Of course, Yun Ling. Your friends are my friends too, whatever you need help with, I'm here for you."
Upon hearing this, Man Shengjian confidently added, "In Gan Province, there's nothing I, Man Shengjian, can't handle!!!"
"Yun Ling, thank you, you're too kind."
Lin Chuxue responded with a slight smile to Yun Ling and the others.
Then Yun Ling and Lin Chuxue caught up, chatting about recent events and eventually discussing how Lin Chuxue and Ye Qiu hadn't found a hotel yet, when Yun Ling brightened up and quickly said to Lin Chuxue with a smile, "With us here, why do you need to find a hotel? We'll arrange everything."
"Man Shengjian, doesn't your family run a hotel in Ying City?"
Speaking, Yun Ling turned to Man Shengjian and said, "Take us there first, arrange a room for Chuxue and them, and then let's have a al."
"No problem, my family hotel is not far from here."
Man Shengjian nodded with a nonchalant smile, agreeing and turning the car around.
Soon, Man Shengjian drove them to a luxury hotel. After getting out and looking at the towering building, Yun Ling proudly explained to Ye Qiu and the others, "Full Sky Hotel, this is one of the best five-star hotels in Ying City, and it's run by Man Shengjian's family."
Listening to Yun Ling's introduction, Man Shengjian adjusted his clothes with a self-satisfied expression.
"Yun Ling, what does your boyfriend's family do?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Chuxue couldn't help but ask Yun Ling quietly, intrigued.
Lin Chuxue was sowhat surprised. Before, during online chats with Yun Ling, she only knew Yun Ling had a wealthy boyfriend, but now it seed Yun Ling's boyfriend was extrely rich.
"Man Shengjian's family owns the Manying Group, one of Gan Province's top ten private companies. Their businesses can be seen everywhere in Gan Province."
Upon hearing this, Yun Ling, naturally feeling superior, proudly told Lin Chuxue, "In two months, I'll be engaged to him, and I'll be a wealthy wife. How about that, envious?"
Seeing Yun Ling's boastful deanor, Lin Chuxue's expression turned complex.
Lin Chuxue rembered Yun Ling in college, who was quite anti-rich and looked down on those materialistic gold diggers.
But now, Yun Ling's appearance was no different from those gold diggers she used to despise.
If Yun Ling looked in the mirror, she'd realize she's beco just like the materialistic girls she once hated, as if cast from the sa mold.
However, ultimately, Lin Chuxue didn't say anything.
After all, everyone has their path to walk, and people change.
Moreover, Yun Ling is her good friend, and as long as she cherishes their friendship, what does it matter how Yun Ling changes?
At this ti, Yun Ling enthusiastically invited Ye Qiu and Lin Chuxue to the top floor of their hotel, where they opened a lavish private room and ordered nurous exorbitant dishes and wines to treat Lin Chuxue and the others.
During the al, Yun Ling and Man Shengjian discussed his family's businesses in Gan Province and fun places they could visit, exuding pride.
Eventually, the topic shifted to Lin Chuxue and Ye Qiu.
Since Lin Chuxue is a police officer, Yun Ling was curious about her recent work but didn't ask much about investigations, as they weren't interested in that.
However, when Yun Ling's gaze fell on Ye Qiu, her face showed a strong sense of curiosity.
Then Yun Ling cheerfully asked Ye Qiu, "By the way, Chuxue, what's your friend's job? Is he also a police officer like you?"
Yun Ling inquired about Ye Qiu's job, and Man Shengjian gave him a curious look, examining him.
"? I'm not a police officer. I used to be in the military but now I'm retired, working as a driver."
Ye Qiu smiled and shrugged his shoulders, saying, "I'm actually quite good at driving."
"A retired soldier, now a driver?"
Upon hearing Ye Qiu's answer, Yun Ling was slightly surprised, while Man Shengjian sneered with a scornful expression.
