C8 I Can Pluck Off the Stars and Give Them to You

When Meng Ran heard that Lau Zijie would not come to school, he remained silent as he frowned and nodded. As for whether to attend the banquet, he would consider it first.

Jiang Yufei secretly glanced at Meng Ran, expecting Meng Ran would ask her to reject the gift, but instead, he only asked about lau Zijie.

For some reason, the more indifferent Meng Ran looked, the more irritated Jiang Yufei became. Previously, Meng Ran was very enthusiastic about her and often helped her buy drinks. Not only that, Meng Ran was even willing to help Jiang Yufei with those small matters. But now, Meng Ran seemed to have changed into another person, causing Jiang Yufei to somewhat feel strange.

"Did he change for me because he truly liked me? Jiang Yufei, what are you thinking? He is just a country bumpkin. It is impossible for the two of you to be together!"

Jiang Yufei actually opened the exquisite ring box in a fit of anger and instantly a diamond ring that flickered with silver radiance enter her line of sight.

When the students saw the shiny silver diamond ring, all of them gasped in surprise. It even made the girls in the class scream in enviousness.

"Fei, this seems to be the latest proposal diamond ring from Bvlgari. It should cost at least five hundred thousand! Is Young Master Lau proposing to you?" Faang Qing was instantly attracted by the luxurious diamond ring and her eyes were full of envy.

Jiang Yufei secretly glanced at Meng Ran as if she was hoping to see a trace of jealousy and anger on his face, yet it was not as she had expected. Meng Ran was still resting with his eyes closed as if he was completely ignoring her.

A diamond ring worth more than 500,000 yuan was a huge sum of money to them, who were still high school students. While they were moved about the value of this diamond ring, they also praised Lau Zijie for spending this much money for the person he loved. They were all envious of Jiang Yufei.

"Sister Yufei, this is Young Master Lau's love for you. Accept it."

"Yes, Sister Yufei. A diamond ring that worth 500,000 yuan. Young Master Lau doesn't earn much now, perhaps he has been saving for a long time. It really shows his love for you."

"Sister Yufei, why are you still hesitating? If it's me, I would have agreed to it long ago. Young Master Lau, this kind of gentle and handsome man, many people must have had a crush on him. If you don't accept him, he'll be snatched away by others."

Sure enough, Meng Ran could hear whatever the students were saying. Whether Jiang Yufei would accept it or not was none of his business, however, in his past life, Mother Jiang had done a great deed to the Meng Family. Because the Maple Birch Group, which was founded by Meng Ran's mother, ran into some financial issues and Mother Jiang had taken the initiative to fork out two million to help the Maple Birch Group survive that crisis.

After all, her mother was Meng Ran's mother's old classmate. She was kind, and Meng Ran's mother had mentioned it more than once in front of Meng Ran. Even back then, both of them had intended to matchmake Meng Ran and Jiang Yufei. However, after the two of them broke up, things had changed. Meng Ran had also found his true love, so naturally, he would not have any more entanglement with Jiang Yufei.

"Forget it, since I have chosen to cultivate in the mortal world, I'd naturally have to repay the kindness from my past life. I've cultivated to protect my loved ones, as long as I'm still living in this world, I only wish to have a clear conscience. Even though Jiang Yufei and I have no feelings for each other, yet for the sake of Mother Jiang, I should take care of her. This Lau Zijie had bad intentions, and it was not a good choice. Thus, it's better for me to talk to Jiang Yufei after school."

With a determined mind, Meng Ran said calmly, "If you like it, you can keep it but if you don't, return it to Lau Zijie personally. It's just a diamond ring, how valuable can it be? You don't have to be so conflicted."

Although Meng Ran's words were gentle, everyone stared at him as if he was a madman.

"What do you mean by just a diamond ring? Isn't a five hundred thousand diamond ring expensive?"

"You won't be able to earn five hundred thousand even with your lifetime, would you?"

Even Faang Qing could not stand Meng Ran's words and mocked him, "Right. Genius Meng never cared about money. How could a mere five hundred thousand yuan be a lot?"

When she said that, there were even more meddlesome people who laughed and said, "Genius Meng, you can't even afford five hundred thousand yuan, can you?"

Meng Ran then responded indifferently, "If I want to, I can pluck off the stars from the sky and give them to her."

"Meng Ran, you're hilarious."

"Have you learned the latest method of picking up girls in 2010? Pluck off the stars and give them to you."

Facing the ridicule of the crowd, Meng Ran couldn't help but sigh. These people had limited vision after all, they had never seen the vastness of the universe. If they had seen the Immortal Sovereign Tairan cut a planet that was ten times bigger than the Earth into half with just a strand of his silvery hair, what would their reaction be? Would they still mock this young man like this?

"Enough!"

Jiang Yufei, who was getting irritated, shouted at the crowd. She didn't expect Meng Ran to act like a child who only knew how to fight with words, saying something like plucking stars. Meng Ran, don't tell me you really think I'm a three-year-old girl? Are you trying to bluff me?

As the bell rang, the teacher in charge had also come into the class. All the students stopped chatting and got ready for the class.

Jiang Yufei held the diamond ring tightly in her hand and made a decision within her.

A day had passed quietly, Meng Ran seemed to be listening to the lecture, but he was actually distracted most of the time. However, at the end of the day, he was praised by the teacher for listening to the lecture seriously. Even the Immortal Sovereign Tairan, who had traveled across the universe for millenniums, couldn't help but blush.

In the evening, the class ended and all the students left happily.

"Wait, I have something to say to you."

Meng Ran and Jiang Yufei, who were at the school gate, called out at the same time.

What Jiang Yufei wanted to say was hoping that Meng Ran would not pester her in the future because she wanted to prioritize her studies. Furthermore, her parents hoped that she could get into Yanjing University.

"Meng Ran, you seem to have grown taller?" Meng Ran had not left his seat throughout the day. At this moment, when they looked at each other, Jiang Yufei suddenly realized that Meng Ran seemed to be taller than her. Originally, both of them were about the same height which was about 1.7 meters. Now, Jiang Yufei felt that Meng Ran's height should be 1.75 meters.

Could it be that he had placed something in his shoes to increase his height?

The change in Meng Ran's height was the result of the "Ethereal Void Refining Art" body tempering. Actually, Meng Ran should have become more handsome, perhaps becoming the prince charming in the whole school. However, Meng Ran felt that it was too eye-catching and would attract unnecessary trouble, thus, Meng Ran cast a skill, changing his appearance back to the original.

But even so, Jiang Yufei still felt that Meng Ran had somewhat changed, his skin seemed to have become much fairer, even his neck and arms seemed to be fairer than hers.

"You..."

Meng Ran wanted to persuade Jiang Yufei not to get too close with Lau Zijie in the future, but before he finished speaking, the phone in his pocket rang.

Meng Ran looked at this unknown number and hesitated for a moment before answering.

When Jiang Yufei saw that Meng Ran only cared about making calls and did not pay attention to campus belle, instantly, Yufei felt unhappy, " Since you have something else to do, then I'll not disturb you. I'll be leaving first."

"Alright, I'll wait for you in Jianghua Private High School."

The beeping sound of the phone being hung up remained as Meng Ran looked at Jiang Yufei, who had turned around and left. He did not urge her to stay but only shook his head slightly.

Around ten minutes later, a burgundy Ferrari 458 Italia convertible sports car appeared. With a beautiful drift, it came to a halt at the entrance of Jianghua.

The car door opened and a pair of slender and sexy legs in high heels stepped out of the car.
