C105 Zhang Xinrui Was Against Him

The bright sun streamed in through the window, illuminating every detail on the waterbed.

Lin Dong glanced at Hee Lulu, who was deeply asleep beside him, and found himself at a loss for words. He rummaged through the pile of clothes, dressed in his own, and stepped outside.

The place was still buzzing from the gathering. As a high-end entertainment venue, it offered a variety of accommodations.

"Good morning, Mr. Lin!" Manager Wang greeted him with a cheerful smile.

Lin Dong massaged his forehead and inquired, "Where are Liang Yu and Lee Zhan?"

Manager Wang's demeanor shifted to one of reverence. Liang Yu and Lee Zhan were well-known scions in the circle of the affluent, hailing from influential families. While others referred to them with honorifics, Lin Dong's direct use of their names indicated his own superior status, prompting the manager to attend to him with extra care.

Manager Wang beamed, "Young Master Li and Young Master Liang left early last night. They made a point of asking me to ensure you were well taken care of!"

"Hmm, what's the situation with Hee Lulu?" Lin Dong asked, his memory of the previous night hazy.

Manager Wang gave a knowing look and reassured him, "She was specifically requested to stay by Young Master Liang. Rest assured, the financials have been settled. You're free to go."

Lin Dong pursed his lips, at a loss for further comment. With everything priced and paid for, there was no room for sentimentality.

He departed from the venue, with Manager Wang trailing cautiously behind him. "Mr. Lin, did you not bring your car? I can arrange a ride for you."

Lin Dong considered for a moment before declining, "No, I'm staying at the Wave Listening Courtyard. A walk back will do me good, help me clear my head."

"Of course! Please take care on your way," Manager Wang replied with utmost respect.

Those who resided in the Wave Listening Courtyard were individuals of substantial wealth, far beyond his own standing.

The morning air was invigorating. Lin Dong inhaled deeply, his mind sharpening with each breath. Although the events of the previous night were a blur, the lack of a lasting impression was a minor disappointment.

"Ding Dong!"

A WeChat notification chimed.

Lin Dong checked his phone and saw a message from Liu Wenming.

"Lin, where have you disappeared to? Are you skipping school? Missing Zhang Xinrui's class this morning will have serious consequences, you know!"

Lin Dong's head jolted.

He suddenly remembered he had class today.

And it was Zhang Xinrui's class.

He had previously been reprimanded for daydreaming in her class, and she had insisted on his attendance at every session, warning him of the consequences.

Moreover, he had embarrassed her during the incident with the jerk Lee Mingshan.

If he missed class again, Zhang Xinrui would combine her new grudge with the old, and Lin Dong's prospects would be dire!

He quickly texted Liu Wenming: "Please excuse me for the day; I'm afraid I won't make it in time."

Liu Wenming responded with an OK gesture.

After putting away his phone, Lin Dong went back inside the villa.

The villa boasted 24-hour hot water and climate control, a luxury compared to the run-down school dorms!

During his shower, Lin Dong noticed numerous purple marks on his chest, oddly forming a heart shape.

He couldn't help but recall Hee Lulu's face.

She really had a way about her. Lin Dong had been trying to forget her, but now, seeing these love bites, her image flooded back into his mind.

After showering and getting dressed, Lin Dong sat in the living room sipping tea.

"Ding Dong!"

Another WeChat notification.

It was Liu Wenming again.

"Lin, you need to come quick. Zhang Xinrui is insisting you attend her class, or she'll take it out on me! Hurry, for the sake of your brother not getting punished, get over here!"

Liu Wenming's message was frantic.

What was this all about?

Lin Dong held his phone, dumbfounded.

Was it such a big deal to get distracted in class? And for exposing Lee Mingshan as a scumbag during Zhang Xinrui's date, did she have to hold such a grudge?

Liu Wenming pressed on, "Bro, are you on your way? Did you see my message? Zhang Xinrui is making me answer questions, and with my knowledge, it's pure torture!"

After pondering briefly, Lin Dong responded, "Alright, I'm on my way."

He rose to his feet, headed to the garage, and fired up the Pagani Huayran sports car. With a roar, he sped off towards his destination: Jiangyang University!

Lin Dong was eager to find out what exactly Zhang Xinrui needed him for.
