Chapter 099: A Once-in-a-Century Spectacle

As soon as Lin Shuyu said that, she hurriedly clapped a hand over her mouth.

But it was already too late. Chen Yingying and Wang Qi had both heard her.

Like a fan insulted after hearing someone speak ill of their idol, Chen Yingying instantly flew into a rage. “Sis! How can you humiliate people like that?”

“Who are they? They’re the top-tier young heirs of Huaizhou! What is Hong Yu? He’s trash. How could he ever compare to them?”

“Forget that useless good-for-nothing. I have to get their contact information. Sis, do you have any way?”

Lin Shuyu shook her head. “I still think that was Hong Yu. That outfit, I actually bought it from an online shopping site.”

“No! Sis, if you keep saying that, I’m going to fall out with you!” Chen Yingying was too worked up to keep still. “You can say someone resembles him, but not Hong Yu.”

“To say he looks like Hong Yu isn’t just an insult to those super-rich heirs. It’s an insult to me too.”

“How could I, Chen Yingying, ever take a fancy to a worthless coward like Hong Yu!”

Wang Qi, standing nearby, laughed as well. “Hahaha, Yingying, don’t get so worked up. Your sister is just teasing you.”

“What she means is, don’t overthink it. That kind of super-rich heir and Hong Yu are worlds apart. You’ll never be with someone like that.”

“Think about it. Even I can’t walk onto that Supreme VIP passage right now, let alone Hong Yu.”

“Forget a lifetime. Even in ten lifetimes, he still couldn’t get up there.”

Suddenly, the two young men walking along the Supreme VIP passage stopped. After exchanging a few words, they actually headed straight toward them.

Chen Yingying was so excited she nearly lost her footing.

She cried out, “Holy hell, holy hell, holy hell! They’re coming over! Heaven hasn’t let me down after all. My beauty has finally been noticed!”

Wang Qi frowned. He felt certain that trouble was coming.

For these two young men to be able to walk that Supreme VIP passage at all, their status and wealth had to utterly eclipse his. If they were only coming over to show off, Wang Qi could at most swallow it.

What he feared most was that they had their eye on Lin Shuyu.

It had to be said that Lin Shuyu was indeed strikingly beautiful. Wang Qi felt that the chance was not small. As for Chen Yingying, that was absolutely impossible.

Even he looked down on her, let alone those super-rich heirs.

Before he had even met Lin Shuyu, Chen Yingying had been throwing herself at him in every possible way. Truth be told, Wang Qi had not been especially picky about women before; he had more or less taken any willing prey.

But the problem was that Chen Yingying was simply too ordinary, so ordinary that Wang Qi felt no interest at all.

“Holy hell! Why is it him!!”

The two young men had been too far away just now, and with their backs turned, the three of them had not been able to make out their faces.

But as they drew nearer, they finally saw the young men’s true appearance.

One of them was unfamiliar; neither Chen Yingying nor Lin Shuyu knew him. But Wang Qi did.

This was none other than Zhang Huaiyi, the son of Huaizhou’s richest man, the untouchable young heir of Huaizhou whom he would need to flatter and curry favor with.

As for the other, it scared him so badly he nearly jumped straight up.

Who else could it be but Hong Yu!

How could a pathetic loser like that possibly walk onto the Supreme VIP passage? How could he be walking side by side with Zhang Huaiyi?

The two of them were as far apart as heaven and earth!

“Shuyu, I’m here.”

Hong Yu smiled faintly at Lin Shuyu.

In that instant, the awkward, frozen air shattered.

“No... impossible. This cannot be real. I must be dreaming!”

Looking at Hong Yu’s smile, Chen Yingying felt as though her entire worldview had collapsed.

Just a moment ago, she had practically been ready to throw herself at him. When Lin Shuyu said that the young man was Hong Yu, she had even threatened her in a fit of shame and fury.

Wang Qi’s expression was even uglier than Chen Yingying’s.

What he had always been proudest of was his family background and his family’s wealth.

And now, it was as if someone had slapped him hard across the face and kicked him straight off a cliff.

Who could have imagined that the person he had just claimed would never in ten lifetimes be able to step onto the VIP passage had turned around, walked onto it, and was now standing right in front of him with a smile?

A slap in the face.

The kind of slap that came like a tornado.

Lin Shuyu, on the other hand, had been mentally prepared.

Before this, when Hong Yu had been able to produce fifteen million in one shot to bid on jewelry for her, she had already felt that he was definitely no ordinary man, that he must have some hidden identity.

Lin Shuyu was only thinking that Hong Yu had a little money, or perhaps knew a few important people in Fengzhou. But now, seeing him arrive in Fengzhou and so quickly step onto this so-called Supreme VIP passage that only the most formidable people in Huaizhou were supposedly qualified to walk, she understood that his hidden identity was surely far beyond anything she had imagined.

Puzzled, Lin Shuyu asked, “Hong Yu, I’m not surprised that you could come in. But how did you end up walking this Supreme VIP passage?”

Chen Yingying said indignantly, “Sis, do we really need to ask? This jerk Hong Yu must have sneaked in. Look at him, covered head to toe in cheap online-marketplace junk. He doesn’t even have the qualifications to get in, let alone walk the Supreme VIP passage.”

“Weren’t we all just saying that at the entrance?”

At this point, Chen Yingying was like a fan who had turned against the object of their devotion. The fiercer her love had once been, the deeper her bitterness now ran.

Hong Yu merely smiled faintly and did not respond.

In his eyes, a gold-digging woman like Chen Yingying was not worth answering. Let her live or die on her own.

Although Wang Qi felt that things were not that simple, since Zhang Huaiyi had quietly stepped back and seemed unwilling to involve himself in what was happening here, there was nothing left for him to worry about.

Perhaps Zhang Huaiyi felt that a young man able to walk the Supreme VIP passage was worth making acquaintance with, and did not know that Hong Yu had sneaked in. Now that Chen Yingying had exposed him, wasn’t he immediately stepping back?

Thinking he had figured everything out, Wang Qi instantly sneered. “Hong Yu, how can you be so foolish?”

“I already told you what kind of place the Huaizhou Club is. Why are you still making such a scene?”

“You think that if you’re discovered, they’ll just have the security throw you out? Let me tell you, it won’t be that simple!”

Chen Yingying, standing to the side, asked with a malicious smile, “Then what consequences would there be?”

Wang Qi said with a grin, “Normally, they might call the police and have you detained. But if the person in charge of this Huaizhou Club finds out that Hong Yu actually dared to try walking the Supreme VIP passage, he could very well end up doing hard time for several years.”

“So serious!!” Not only Lin Shuyu, but even Chen Yingying cried out in alarm.

Hong Yu gave a cold laugh. He knew Wang Qi was only trying to scare them.

Lin Shuyu hurriedly said, “Hong Yu, stop being foolish and trying to keep walking the Supreme VIP passage. Come on, come on. There are too many people here and too many loose tongues. Follow me inside first, and we’ll talk after that.”

Terrified, Lin Shuyu quickly grabbed Hong Yu and hurried him toward the exhibition hall.

As for Zhang Huaiyi, the son of Huaizhou’s richest man, he merely smiled and followed them in as well.

He truly found this all far too amusing.

The sole heir of the Hong family was being so underestimated by others. This was a grand spectacle not seen in a hundred years!
