Chapter 6: Unexpected Encounter

The morning sunlight gently caressed the surroundings, illuminating the graceful figure of a beautiful girl. With an impeccable face, soft flowing hair, and adorned in a light blue dress, she moved with exquisite and graceful curves. In the midst of this ethereal scene, she stood out like a blooming orchid, radiating a cold and gorgeous temperament that seemed untouched by the mundane world.

This stunning beauty was none other than Miss Yun Lan, the head of the four major campuses of the Ivy League. She captivated everyone around her, leaving men in awe and women like Yao Bingbing in a state of envy, jealousy, and embarrassment.

Shi Mingwei, in particular, seemed to be under a spell. His flushed face and enthusiastic expression painted a picture of someone ready to worship the ground she walked on. Even Yao Bingbing, in all her green tea tincture glory, felt overshadowed by the goddess.

Shi Dafeng, seizing the opportunity, decided to make introductions, albeit with a cheeky grin. "Miss Lan, let me introduce you. This is Shi Mingwei, an alumnus of yours. He's not just good-looking but excels academically..."

Shi Mingwei, still dazed from Yao Bingbing's earlier outburst, continued to exhibit his exaggerated admiration for the goddess. However, the cold shoulder from Lan Mengchen didn't deter his attempts to impress her.

"Miss Blue, how are you!" Shi Mingwei grinned, nodding like an eager pug, attempting to hold her jade-like hand.

But Miss Yun Lan didn't spare him a glance; instead, she headed straight for Chen Xiaobei, wearing a warm smile. "I didn't expect to meet you here, Master Chen."

"Student Mengchen, we are truly destined," Chen Xiaobei replied, scratching the tip of his nose, his eyes lingering on the enchanting girl.

Miss Lan Mengchen possessed not only exceptional beauty but also a figure that could make anyone's heart skip a beat. Her slender waist, rounded buttocks, and shapely legs beneath the skirt added to her allure.

"What are you looking at?" Lan Mengchen asked with a slight frown.

"Is that a question? I'm admiring the most beautiful girl," Chen Xiaobei responded with a smile.

"You, with your silver tongue, cut it out!" Lan Mengchen playfully scolded him, her charming demeanor leaving a lasting impression on Chen Xiaobei.

Shi Dafeng and Shi Mingwei couldn't hide their dismay as Lan Mengchen, the daughter of Qiangtian Tianzi, ignored them and engaged in conversation with a seemingly ordinary farmer.

As Lan Mengchen and Chen Xiaobei chatted, Yao Bingbing, who had once flaunted her association with Shi Mingwei, now felt a sudden pang of realization – she wasn't the one who dumped Chen Xiaobei; rather, he had chosen to move on.

As the conversation unfolded, Lan Mengchen, learning of Chen Xiaobei's intention to sell gold, recommended Dafeng Jewelry for its reputation. Shi Dafeng eagerly offered assistance, but Shi Mingwei interjected, claiming the gold might be stolen.

Chen Xiaobei, undeterred, expressed his willingness to go elsewhere. Shi Mingwei threatened to use his influence to ensure no jewelry store in Qingteng City would accept Chen Xiaobei's gold.

Lan Mengchen, sensing the tension, decided to intervene. "Sell your gold directly to me," she suggested, defusing the situation.

Chen Xiaobei, touched by her trust, agreed. As a Rolls-Royce Phantom approached, Lan Mengchen introduced a white-haired expert who would assess the gold. The atmosphere grew tense as Chen Xiaobei realized he was in the presence of someone remarkable.
