112: Chapter 111 What do you mean?

Zhao Huanhuan saw that her friend Lin Xuanfei wasn’t heeding her advice at all.

After a long sigh, she turned her attention to Li Chen.

“So you’re Li Chen, huh?

I often hear Xuanfei mention you!”

Li Chen didn’t even glance at her, casually uttering “Oh” as a form of response.

“Oh?”

Zhao Huanhuan was taken aback; she never expected Li Chen, from a poor family, to brush her off with a mere “oh” and was momentarily speechless with anger.

“What’s that supposed to mean, Li Chen?”

Li Chen raised an eyebrow and said, “It means nothing at all.

What were you hoping for?”

Zhao Huanhuan clenched her teeth in frustration, not knowing what to do next.

Suddenly, her eyes swept over Li Chen, noticing his plain clothing.

She decided to attack from the angle of his family’s financial status, hoping to make him back off.

“Li Chen, do you know that the line of guys wanting to pursue Feifei could stretch all the way from here to the entrance of your school?”

Li Chen laughed, neither confirming nor denying, glanced at Lin Xuanfei, and said, “Lin Xuanfei, I didn’t realize you were so popular!”

Lin Xuanfei pouted and murmured in a low, coquettish voice, “You’re only just realizing that?”

Zhao Huanhuan, seeing that Li Chen, a boy from a poor family, wasn’t taking her seriously at all, felt a fire of rage burning in her heart.

“Li Chen, you see for yourself.

Feifei has lived in this upscale villa since she was young, has always been dressed in silks and satins, and never suffered the slightest hardship.

Do you really think you can provide the life she wants?”

Before Zhao Huanhuan could finish speaking, a boy dressed in Armani cut in, mocking, “Huanhuan, from his outfit, I’m guessing his parents are wage earners?”

After saying that, he looked at Li Chen with a face full of superiority, smugly said, “But you don’t need to feel inferior, hardworking people are the most glorious.

Just remember one thing: it’s not scary to be poor; what’s scary is to be poor and not even to have the self-awareness!”

He stressed the words “self-awareness” quite heavily, drawing everyone’s gaze to Li Chen in unison.

Li Chen remained unfazed, as if he didn’t take the young heir’s words to heart at all.

Seeing Li Chen maintain his calm in the face of others’ ridicule and sarcasm, Zhao Huanhuan couldn’t help but be slightly amazed.

This piqued her curiosity towards her best friend’s classmate.

She collected her thoughts and asked again, “Li Chen, since Feifei thinks so highly of you, you must have some unique skills that others can’t match, right?”

Li Chen touched his nose and said, “Unique skills down below!”

Upon hearing Li Chen’s words, the entire living room fell silent as the grave.

Instantly, everyone stared at him as if they were looking at an alien.

Li Chen took a sip of water, feigning surprise, “Why are you all looking at me like that?

I know 108 ways to cook instant noodles, isn’t that a unique skill?”

After Li Chen’s answer, the entire room burst into laughter.

Zhao Huanhuan was shaking with laughter herself, covering her mouth and saying, “Li Chen, you’re really funny!”

The rich heirs who had regarded Li Chen with disdain, once they knew about his poor family background and lackluster academic performance, not to mention the absence of any remarkable skill, looked at him with even more scorn.

Several of the more snobbish girls even deliberately kept their distance from Li Chen, as if being near him would somehow depreciate their own value.

Towards the end of the party, everyone presented their carefully selected gifts.

“Feifei, it’s your birthday today.

I didn’t prepare much, just a little token of my affection, I hope you like it!”

“Feifei, this is my gift!”

“And mine, handmade, it took me several months, specially prepared for you!”

…

“Hey, can’t you guys be a bit more original with your gifts?

They’re so tacky!”

Just then, a voice filled with innate pride floated through the air.

Upon hearing this voice, all present showed an expression of surprise and even a hint of anger.

However, when they saw the owner of the voice, they all backed down.

He was Bai Qianshui, the young master of the Jiangnan Bai Family’s jewelry business with assets worth almost ten billion.

Even the combined assets of Zhang Yuanjun and Lui Kang’s families couldn’t match the thickness of the Bai Family’s thigh.

Moreover, he held another identity, Mr.

Lin’s favored student, and was very much liked by him.

It could be said that he was the first to benefit from his proximity to power!

Lin Xuanfei’s close friend, Zhao Huanhuan, asked with a smile, “Brother Bai, you said the gifts we gave are unbearably tacky.

So, what gift are you planning to give Feifei?”

With a secretive smile, Bai Qianshui then produced a scroll wrapped in golden-threaded yellow silk, and handed it to Lin Xuanfei in a very gentlemanly manner.

Lin Xuanfei stepped forward to receive the scroll and carefully unrolled it.

Instantly, she gasped in shock, disbelief spread across her face.

“Is this…

the Ode to the Goddess of the Luo River?”

The Ode to the Goddess of the Luo River, a masterpiece by Gu Kaizhi of Eastern Jin, is divided into two parts, with the first part housed in the Forbidden City Museum, an absolute treasure of the nation.

If it were auctioned internationally, its value would undoubtedly exceed ten million.

Presenting a national treasure worth over ten million as a birthday gift to one’s own daughter.

His intent was clear without a word said.

Seeing the shock on Lin Xuanfei’s face, as well as that of everyone around, Bai Qianshui appeared very pleased with himself.

Mimicking the style of ancient scholars, he swayed his head as he recited Cao Zhi’s description of the goddess in the Ode to the Goddess of the Luo River.

She floats like light clouds veiling the moon, drifting like a breeze swirling back the snow.

From a distance, she glows as the rising sun amidst the dawn,

Up close, she dazzles like lotus flowers emerging from clear waves.

“Feifei, I originally thought Cao Zhi’s words were an exaggeration; where in this world could there be a woman as beautiful as the Goddess of the Luo?

But ever since I met you, I’ve realized his words ring true!”

After speaking, he gestured to his heart, looking earnestly at Lin Xuanfei, “Feifei, you are the Goddess of the Luo in my heart, irreplaceable!”

His candid words, so direct, were the same as a confession for their scholarly families.

Whether it was Lui Kang or Zhang Yuanjun, they both looked disheartened at this moment.

Yet, they were powerless to respond.

Though their family conditions were also very superior, they could not compare with the Bai Family, ranked within the top five across Jiangnan.

Moreover, not only did Bai Qianshui have excellent family conditions, but he was also a top choice himself.

His business acumen was considered first-class, and his understanding of painting and calligraphy had reached a profound level; he was Mr.

Lin’s proud student.

Even though Lin Xuanfei was a Heavenly Pride Girl, she absolutely had no reason to reject him.

However, to their surprise, Lin Xuanfei actually did reject him.

“I’m sorry, Qianshui Brother, this gift is too valuable, I can’t accept it.

Moreover, I have someone…

that I like!”

As she spoke, Lin Xuanfei bashfully lowered her head and instinctively glanced at Li Chen, who was engrossed in his battle with the crystal crabs.

At once, everyone’s gaze followed Lin Xuanfei’s to Li Chen, who until then, they had been treating as invisible.

Li Chen, who was happily enjoying his meal, was startled when they suddenly all turned to look at him.

“Come on, it’s just a couple more crabs, do you all really have to stare at me this way?”
