Lord Yan, The Little Ancestor Has Fallen Off The Horse Again!
Chapter 141: Stir at the Door

Chapter 141: Chapter 141: Stir at the Door

Sun Hong felt that there was reason in what he said, as Lou Ting had never been seen involved in a scandal with any celebrity or famous socialite for quite some time.

He was the most pure-hearted and least desirous among the eligible bachelors of Beijing; and so was the Xiao Family’s Crown Prince, equally devoid of worldly desires.

"Sister Sun, rest assured, no one dares to take his picture," Ruan Yingtong said with a smile, sitting very upright to avoid wrinkling her dress.

Yun Yue sat in the front car, casually resting her elbow on the window sill, her eyebrows and eyes drooping.

The morning sun slowly rose, casting a warm tint on her face.

A few strands of hair refracted pale golden hues in the sunlight, and the left side of her face looked even more delicately perfect in the shadow.

Sitting in the back seat, Sun Hong found it hard to resist the allure of such a tycoon; with or without makeup, her beauty was flawless from every angle—if only she would enter the entertainment industry, it would be the pinnacle of her career as an agent.

What a scene it would be to sweep through the entertainment industry with her and Ruan Yingtong. The very thought excited her, yet it was but a fantasy.

She couldn’t help but sigh and turned her gaze away; nonetheless, being gifted with a Ruan Yingtong by fate wasn’t so bad.

Ruan Yingtong knew what the sigh signified, the corners of her mouth lifting. Sister Sun always had that same look of regret whenever she saw Yueyue.

The competition was being held at the Piano Association, which was normally closed to the public. Entry was limited to associates of the Piano Association and contestants who could only enter by presenting their competition badges and were allowed only two accompanying persons.

"Can’t go in? Why?" Shen Xuan asked, dressed in a long gown with heels that accentuated her tall figure and pure visage.

"It’s not that you can’t go in; it’s that each contestant can only bring two people in, and they must present a green health code to enter," the security guard explained, pointing to a nearby sign.

"You all wait outside for us," Shen Lin instructed those behind her. After showing her green health code, she entered with Shen Xuan and Bai Hui.

An SUV ostentatiously pulled up to the entrance of the Piano Association, the sound of brakes turning heads.

They had just entered when they heard the noise and stopped in the lobby.

"Auntie, aren’t cars not allowed to park here?" Shen Xuan pursed her lips as she looked at the sleek SUV outside.

They had just parked their car in the underground garage because it couldn’t be parked there, taking the elevator up.

"Rules are dead, people are alive. That car is worth seventy million; people who can afford such a car and dare to park it here are no ordinary people," Shen Lin paused, also curious about who was in the car.

"If you’re going to mingle in Beijing, remember this: rules can restrain 99.9% of people, but the 0.1% are not bound by these rules. Like the owner of that car outside, you need to be careful with such people. If you offend them, even I can’t save you."

Shen Lin lifted her chin, educating them; even though her in-laws were only mid-tier in Beijing and she was haughty in Lan City, she was extremely cautious in a place like Beijing. Offending a big shot could put her entire family through suffering.

"Who is in that car, daring to park right at the entrance of the Piano Association? Don’t they know that parking is not allowed here?"

"I don’t know, just watch and remember to take lots of photos. They’re bound to sell well."

After all, it was an assessment by the Piano Association. It was said that Master Yao Nan would also attend today to select a Direct Disciple. Many journalists were outside taking photos, as they weren’t allowed inside.

The journalists trusted by the Piano Association were the only ones allowed inside to take pictures; they naturally wouldn’t shoot recklessly.

But that didn’t matter to these junior journalists. As long as there was money to be made, that was all they cared about.

Lou Ting was the first to get out of the car; the surrounding journalists and passersby were somewhat surprised to see it was Lou Ting.

The journalists hesitated with their cameras, unsure whether to shoot or not, as those in the know were aware that Lou Ting did not allow photographs.

He walked over to the right side and personally opened the car door for Yun Yue and Ruan Yingtong.

The onlookers were astonished. It was one thing for Lou Ting to drive today, but to personally open the car doors as well? Who on earth could be sitting inside that warranted such respect?

"Brother Hao, do we take the shot?"

"Snap, snap, snap! It’s definitely going to be a huge hit!"

The most important thing was to capture it all first. Such a gimmick would attract clicks from anyone, and he could already predict tomorrow’s hot search headlines.

Yueyue donned her mask before descending, her delicate brows and eyes instantly catching everyone’s attention.

A pair of defiant, proud eyes exuded an air of brazen arrogance, and just by these eyes alone, one could tell she was a great beauty.

When Mo Fan got out of the car, her sexy figure immediately drew a barrage of stares. She curled her lips into a wicked smile and straightened her back.

The lady’s figure was just too good.

Sister Sun got out, followed by Ruan Yingtong, with Lou Ting personally shielding her head with his hand.

"Quick, take the shots, all these women have celestial beauty! Isn’t it said that Lou Ting keeps away from women, yet all who got out of his car are females!"

The reporters were going crazy, their early stakeout more than rewarded. This month’s bonus was in the bag!

"Brother Hao, doesn’t that woman look like a star from the industry?"

"Now that you mention it, she does seem familiar, like that Ruan... what’s her name, the one who’s been rising to fame recently."

"Ruan Yingtong."

"Yeah, and the one next to her kinda looks like Sun Hong."

"Kinda looks like? That’s her! Hurry and snap more shots!"

The most crucial trait for these journalists was a sharp eye. They dealt with Sun Hong daily and could recognize her at a glance, so that definitely was Ruan Yingtong.

Lan City’s rich magnate Lou Ting VS entertainment industry’s Ruan Yingtong, the headline was already drafted in their minds.

It would surely trend for a week straight.

Just what they feared, all the reporters were going mad, Sun Hong was stomping in frustration.

Lou Ting glanced over the reporters, "I won’t confiscate your photos, but write your headlines and articles properly. Any negative news, and I’ll ruin your company."

As Lou Ting’s gaze swept over them, they clutched their cameras tightly, fearing he’d have them smashed.

Hearing his words, they subconsciously let out a sigh of relief. As long as their cameras were safe.

"I wonder what relationship Mr. Lou has with Miss Ruan Yingtong? Surely you wouldn’t want us to write anything misconstrued?" The reporter named Brother Hao daringly inquired.

Confronted with Lou Ting’s undisguised, oppressive gaze, the reporter’s palms and back of his hands dampened with nerve-induced sweat; instantly regretting his question upon asking it.

Lou Ting’s gaze stayed on the reporter for three seconds before he slowly responded, "Friends."

As soon as Ruan Yingtong got off the car, she was clinging to Yun Yue’s arm. They wouldn’t believe it if someone said the two were a couple.

After all, Ruan Yingtong’s gaze towards Lou Ting was indifferent, but the way she looked at the swaggering, arrogant young woman was filled with tender love.

If they were friends, it would make sense.

But wasn’t Ruan Yingtong from a poor rural village?

Why would she know a rich magnate like Lou Ting?

There had been rumors recently that she fought with a fellow artist over the leading lady role. Originally, the role was supposed to be hers, but the other artist had connections and snatched it away. Later on, it was heard that the President of the Painting Association had intervened personally, and the company ultimately decided that Ruan Yingtong would be the leading lady.
