The Mountain Raised a Monster: Now the World Pays
Chapter 77
After leaving the Han family, Ye Beichen immediately made a call: "Ruoyu, I'm in Zhonghai now."
He decided to meet Zhou Ruoyu first.
As for the Military Martial Arts Tournament, there's still a week to go.
No rush for now!
He'd deal with it later.
"Huh?"
On the other end of the line, Zhou Ruoyu was studying in the library.
Upon answering the call, she jumped up in excitement!
She exclaimed with joy, "Beichen, you're in Zhonghai?"
"That's great! Where are you? I'll come pick you up right away."
"Okay, okay!"
Zhou Ruoyu tossed a quick word to her roommate: "Youning, help me take my books back to the dorm."
She dashed out of the library!
Boom!
The library buzzed with whispers from many students.
"Isn't that Zhou Ruoyu, the heartthrob magnet?"
"What's going on? She ran out so excitedly!"
"And she mentioned someone named Beichen. Could it be her crush is here?"
"Most likely!"
"Wow, big news! Zhou Ruoyu, the heartthrob magnet, is in love?"
The library was in an uproar!
When Ye Beichen arrived at the gate of Zhonghai University, Zhou Ruoyu was already waiting.
Seeing Ye Beichen step out of the taxi, a fragrant figure rushed over!
Ye Beichen wrapped his arm around Zhou Ruoyu's slender waist.
Her fragrance filled his embrace!
"So many people watching on the street, aren't you embarrassed?" Ye Beichen chuckled.
"Hmph!"
Zhou Ruoyu pouted playfully, "Why should I be? I wish the whole world knew you're my boyfriend."
"Oh, really."
Ye Beichen chuckled softly.
Just then, a voice filled with surprise and delight came: "Ye Beichen, what brings you to Zhonghai?"
It was Su Youning.
Zhou Ruoyu's best friend!
After graduating from their senior year, the two had agreed to take the postgraduate entrance exam together!
They even lived in the same dorm.
Not long ago, Su Youning and a group of classmates had gone to Jiangnan for a trip, where Ye Beichen had met her.
Su Youning was also a beauty, but compared to Zhou Ruoyu, she seemed a bit less striking.
During this time, she had gathered a lot of information about her best friend's fiancé, Ye Beichen.
But some of the information was too shocking!
True or false, Su Youning found it hard to believe!
"I'm here to see Ruoyu," Ye Beichen said calmly.
His indifferent attitude was a stark contrast to how he was with Zhou Ruoyu!
Su Youning felt a bit disappointed but forced a smile: "Since you're in Zhonghai, you should enjoy your time here."
"Ruoyu and I can show you around."
Zhou Ruoyu frowned!
She wanted to spend some alone time with Ye Beichen!
What did she mean by showing Beichen around together?
Ye Beichen smiled, "No need, Ruoyu accompanying me is enough."
"Uh, haha, I was just saying," Su Youning laughed awkwardly, checking the time on her phone: "Oh no, Ruoyu, we're running late!"
"Today is the school's centennial celebration."
"Oh no! I haven't changed my clothes yet!" Zhou Ruoyu suddenly remembered.
She quickly explained to Ye Beichen.
Today was Zhonghai University's centennial celebration!
Many celebrities and prominent figures would be attending.
Zhou Ruoyu had prepared a performance and was going to sing a song.
She needed to go back and change!
Time was running out.
"Beichen, I need to go change. Will you come to the celebration with me later?" Zhou Ruoyu asked expectantly.
Ye Beichen smiled, having nothing else to do, he could join in the fun.
He nodded in agreement.
"Great!"
Zhou Ruoyu was delighted, grabbing Ye Beichen's hand and running back to the girls' dormitory.
Attracting a lot of attention!
"What's happening?"
"Zhou Ruoyu is holding a guy's hand and running wildly through the school?" Many students were stunned.
"Throughout the four years of university, many have pursued Senior Ruoyu! Not one succeeded, who is this guy?" Someone grumbled.
Ye Beichen stood under the girls' dormitory.
Under countless gazes.
His heart was calm and composed!
Soon, Zhou Ruoyu returned in an exquisite party dress, with a delicate shawl revealing one shoulder.
Her collarbone was fully exposed.
Her slender waist tightly cinched.
Her legs as fair and smooth as sheep-fat jade.
She walked like a swan, catching everyone's eye.
Ye Beichen nodded with a smile, "Not bad, the little girl has grown up."
"Beichen, you just love teasing me."
Zhou Ruoyu ran over and playfully punched his chest.
Their flirtatious interaction caused quite a stir!
"Let's go quickly!"
Su Youning came down.
She also had a performance today.
So she was dressed beautifully!
This outfit had been worn by a female celebrity on the red carpet of a film festival.
Su Youning had gritted her teeth and spent fifty thousand to rent it!
"Brother Ye, how do you like my outfit?" Su Youning smiled lightly.
Ye Beichen didn't even glance at her, his eyes never leaving Zhou Ruoyu: "It's okay."
Su Youning felt disappointed but didn't show it: "Let's head to the celebration venue."
The three of them arrived at the celebration venue.
The red carpet was laid out, and reporters were everywhere!
Many top celebrities and elite billionaires walked the red carpet with ease, entering the Zhonghai University auditorium.
Ordinary students entered through the side entrance.
Zhou Ruoyu held Ye Beichen's hand, heading towards the venue.
Dozens of meters away, a young man in a tailcoat watched Ye Beichen enter the celebration hall.
His face, initially smiling, turned gloomy in an instant!
"Ye Beichen, he's in Zhonghai?"
It was Lin Xiao.
He had gone to Jiangnan with Su Youning.
He wanted to pursue Zhou Ruoyu.
But unfortunately, Zhou Ruoyu ignored him.
She had rejected his advances countless times, without any response.
"You dare come to Zhonghai? Haha, haha!!!"
Although Lin Xiao had heard rumors about the Zhao family's downfall in Jiangnan.
The death of the King of Jiangnan!
The collapse of the Island Nation Chamber of Commerce!
Rumors about Jun Wuhui...
But to Lin Xiao.
And to many in Zhonghai's upper-middle society.
These were all rumors!
Because they were too exaggerated!
The King of Jiangnan died because of a guy named Ye Beichen?
The noble clans of Jiangnan were destroyed because of Ye Beichen?
Ye Beichen single-handedly wiped out the Island Nation Chamber of Commerce in Jiangnan?
And most exaggeratedly, Jun Wuhui was killed by Ye Beichen?
Everyone knew Jun Wuhui was the illegitimate son of War God Lingfeng!
Just based on that, if Jun Wuhui were really killed by Ye Beichen.
Then Ye Beichen wouldn't be standing here without a scratch!
So, Lin Xiao believed all the legends about Ye Beichen.
Rumors!
All fucking rumors!
"A nouveau riche from Jiangnan? Haha, that slap, I've remembered it till now!"
Lin Xiao's heart was filled with cold laughter: "Zhonghai is my territory!"
"Ye Beichen, you dare come to Zhonghai? Whether you're a dragon or a tiger, you have to kneel before me!"
"I'll repay that slap a hundredfold!"
...
At this moment, in Zhonghai.
At the top of a skyscraper over six hundred meters high.
A woman with a paraglider on her back stood at the edge of the rooftop, glancing at her phone messages.
"Little junior brother is in Zhonghai, hehe, this is going to be fun."
She leaped off!
