C13 A Luxury Car

"It's you again!"

Lin Fan and Xu Murann spoke synchronously.

"Lin Fan, you've arrived at last. Do you know each other?" Lee Xin asked, intrigued.

"Do you know who this handsome guy is, Murann?" asked Shasha, her roommate.

Her eyes sparkled as she recognized Lin Fan. She thought this guy was incredibly handsome, but as she gazed at his clothes more closely, she lost interest. What good did it do to be handsome? She only needed to glance at him to know how little he had.

"He's the one who stole my drink," Xu Murann blurted. "Yes, it was me," Lin Fan answered.

"What?!" Everyone was in disbelief.

Lin Fan smiled sardonically. It was quite rare to come across someone who secretly downed a bottle of lime soda. Now, they ran into each other again at the restaurant.

The girls began whispering to each other promptly.

"Yes, that's him!"

"He's a good-looking guy. I wasn't expecting him to do something like that."

"He's extremely attractive, yet he ended up doing it."

"You'll know he's a country bumpkin just by examining his outfit."

All eyes were suddenly drawn to Lin Fan.

Wang Datou and Zhang Yida secretly exhaled a breath of relief. They were less anxious as a result of Lin Fan drawing flak.

"Surely there was an error in judgment. A meet-up like tonight is rare. Let's put that awful scenario behind us." Lee Xin smiled and attempted to put the issue to rest.

Even though he despised Lin Fan, he was the one who planned today's shindig. He couldn't just let it go to waste without doing anything.

Although Xu Murann was startled to see Lin Fan, she kept her mouth shut once she remembered the situation and sat down again.

In his heart, Lin Fan did not take this matter seriously. He grinned and settled into an empty seat.

They were, however, sitting at a circular table during dinner. On opposite sides of the table, the boys and girls sat, and the empty seat just happened to be next to Xu Murann.

Lin Fan sat freely in the chair.

Xu Murann scowled covertly and consented that it was okay for Lin Fan to be seated beside her.

The atmosphere, which had been hard for everyone to warm up, grew chilly again.

Everyone felt uneasy and unsure of what to say.

Yu Lei, on the other hand, spoke first. "Murann, you have such good vocals. Why don't you sing live on stage?"

Xu Murann not only knew how to dress fashionably, but she also had an exeptional voice. No matter what song she performed, her voice was always delightful. She simply didn't show her talent very much.

She nodded in agreement since she felt slightly awkward sitting at the same table next to Lin Fan.

Suddenly, an intoxicated man headed over to her just as she stood up. He leaned on Xu Murann and feigned being unsteady. He doused Xu Murann's body with wine from the glass in his hand.

Lin Fan reacted promptly and stood by him. Before long, Lin Fan's body was also splashed with wine. "Hey, watch where you're going."

Xu Murann caught Wu Zihao's attention as he was eating dinner with friends tonight. He had come here looking for a pretext to talk to her.

When he realized his strategy had failed, he yelled angrily, "Where the heck did this wild dog come from? I'm just passing by. Get lost!"

Lin Fan was also enraged. "Watch what you say!"

It was clear to Xu Murann that this person was only there to make advances on her. Lin Fan, who came to her defense, left a positive impression on her.

She noticed the two of them arguing because of her, so she tugged Lin Fan's sleeve and warned Wu Zihao, "Mind your words!"

Wu Zihao chuckled and responded, "Sure, if you agree to come to my table and drink wine with me, I will be respectful."

Wu Zihao and the other people at the table burst out laughing.

"Go on and speak up," Yu Lei grumbled urgently, poking Lee Xin.

Still, Lee Xin sat calmly and refused to do anything. "I know him," he mumbled. "He is a senior in our school's Business Department named Wu Zihao. He comes from a well-known family. We cannot risk upsetting him."

Not wanting to get up, Wang Datou and Zhang Yida sat there quietly. When they noticed how many people they were against, they started to feel apprehensive.

"I don't drink alcohol. I'm about to sing on stage right now. Let me through," Xu Murann spat.

Wu Zihao's eyes flashed. "I'm dedicating this song to everyone. I hope you like it."

The boys at his table started clapping and howling at once.

Wu Zihao scoffed and held out his hand as Xu Murann walked past him with her head bowed. He poked Lin Fan's chest and said, "Hey, don't be stupid. Just try provoking me again, and you'll regret crossing paths with me!"

Lin Fan grinned. "Really? Let's see then!"

"Okay, you've got guts. Be careful later when you leave."

Before going back to his table, Wu Zihao scoffed and gave Lin Fan a menacing stare.

Lin Fan ignored him and went back to his seat.

"Lin Fan, he's not someone to mess with," Wang Datou said cautiously. "To prevent yourself from suffering later, it's best you go now."

The look on Lin Fan's face was one of composure. "It's okay. What harm could he possibly do to me?"

Even if his family had sent him outside to pick up trash, Wu Zihao could not justifiably ride on the neck of a direct descendant of the Lin Family.

Lee Xin and the others considered Wu Zihao to be a wealthy young master whom they couldn't afford to provoke. But in front of Lin Fan, a powerful ant was just another ant.

Xu Murann started singing. She sang a song titled "Angels and Devils". Her gentle voice was quite soothing to hear.

She intended to use this opportunity to sing to defuse the tension caused by the dispute she had sparked. It was the least she could do to prevent the discord from getting worse.

After singing a few songs, Wu Zihao's eyes shone. He felt he needed to get her.

"Her voice is incredible!"

Xu Murann walked back to her seat once the song ended, and Wu Zihao followed her.

"Your singing is exceptional. Come and have a seat at my table. What's the point of you staying here and talking to these ugly losers?"

Shasha and Pingping were driven to find someone who was a Rich Second Generation. They had quite good eyes, as one would expect. An idea struck them when they realized Wu Zihao had a remarkable background.

They glanced at Lin Fan and the others again, and the more they looked, the less appealing they appeared to be.

"Hey, why only invite Murann. What about us?" they asked, smiling brightly.

When Wu Zihao noticed them, he saw that they were likewise exceptionally beautiful. "Of course, you're also welcome to join us," he said while grinning back at them.

Xu Murann felt mad inwardly. Why did her roommates have to drag her into this? Were they only concerned about hooking up with a Rich Second Generation guy?

"I don't feel good right now. You guys can stay and have fun. I'll head back to the dorm first." She gathered her bag and got ready to go.

"Wait. Let me send you back." Lin Fan seized the chance to stand up and leave since he also didn't want to stay any longer.

After a brief pause, Xu Murann nodded.

Meanwhile, when Wu Zihao noticed this, he grew furious. "This rotten loser messed up my plan again!"

He asked coldly, "You want to send her back? How will you do it? Are you and this gorgeous beauty going to ride the bus? Let me take you, honey. My car is parked outside. The rest of our friends can stay here and enjoy the evening. I'll pay for everything tonight."

From the depths of her heart, Xu Murann detested people like Wu Zihao. She thought it would be difficult to escape him today.

Fortunately, Lin Fan was there to lend a hand. Otherwise, she was truly uncertain of what was going to happen.

Together, she and Lin Fan left the restaurant. Wu Zihao followed them outside and pulled out his car keys, pressing them.

A Lamborghini parked by the restaurant's foyer flashed, and the car door opened on its own.

Wu Zihao looked arrogantly at Lin Fan. "See that? That's an eight-million-dollar Lamborghini. Take a moment to assess the situation before leaving. Why are you acting with such enthusiasm when you don't have a car?"

Lin Fan chuckled mockingly. "Is this what you call a car?"

With a wave of his hand, a Bentley worth a quarter of a million dollars slowly appeared and stopped next to him.
