Chapter 10 - Affection and Duty

Someone continued, "Xiaoyuan, you're too biased towards Jiang Yu. We were classmates after all, yet he booked such a big villa by himself. He didn't even invite us in and immediately chased us out. It's too much. Doesn't he know that we're his classmates?"

"That's right! I think that kid is looking down on us! Humph! Isn't the college entrance exam just a point? So what if his family was rich?"

"It's also fate to go to junior college!"

Lin Xiaoyuan bit her lips and continued to explain, "Maybe he doesn't even know that we're there. After all, it's the lady boss who came to chase us away, not him…"

After a few rebuttals, the students' expressions turned ugly.

After all, no one wanted their words to be rejected.

"Xiaoyuan, why do you always speak up for him? You scored so high, and we're the ones celebrating for you, not Jiang Yu. He was also the one who chased you out. Why are you still defending him?"

Lin Lin suddenly said, "And he has nothing to do with you. What's wrong with us ranting about him? Anyone who experienced the same thing we do would naturally be unhappy!"

However, Lin Lin knew something more than the rest of her classmates.

For some reason, Jiang Yu seemed to have suddenly changed into a different person.

His body which was originally as thin as a pole turned into an iron bulk that could even defeat several bodyguards with his bare hands. This was not normal.

Could it be that Jiang Yu accidentally obtained a divine medicine?

Lin Lin immediately rejected the thought.

How could there be any godly medicine in modern society? No matter how powerful technology was, a person couldn't become so powerful overnight.

Lin Lin couldn't understand and had to investigate this matter when she got home.

Lin Xiaoyuan was even more unhappy when she heard that. She was about to speak when she suddenly saw Jiang Yu standing at the door and was momentarily speechless.

When did he arrive? They didn't notice him at all.

Moreover, he looked a little handsome today, and his entire body exuded a charming aura. This was something that Lin Xiaoyuan had not noticed before.

The current Jiang Yu didn't seem to have changed much from before, but he seemed to have become completely different. It was as if he had been reborn.

"Jiang... Jiang Yu, when did you come?"

Someone blurted out subconsciously, his face a little pale.

After all, they were cursing behind his back. If the person involved saw them, they would feel a little guilty.

What if he heard what they said just now?

Lin Lin felt even more guilty.

When they were still in school, they bullied Jiang Yu many times. Seeing how thin and weak he was, he was a good target to bully.

However, after experiencing the incident at the villa, she realized that Jiang Yu's martial arts were amazing, and he also had an amazing background. She could not afford to offend this person.

"I arrived a long time ago," Jiang Yu leaned against the door and said with a faint smile, "Please continue. Don't worry about me."

He didn't expect that he would encounter such a "surprise" on his little walk. His old classmates really liked to make up stories about him when he failed the college entrance examination.

Yes, he was indeed rich, and he could wait for them to finish their celebration before letting them go. However, it was not wrong for him to disagree.

"You…" His classmate couldn't put down his face in front of him and said angrily, "Don't be so smug! It's just a junior college score. In the future, Xiaoyuan will be much better than you! The few of us are also stronger than you!"

"What does it have to do with me that you guys are stronger than me?"Jiang Yu didn't care at all. "Scores can't decide everything. We're all adults. Shouldn't you understand this? The college examination plan was determined by your grades, just like a primary school student."

"You…"

The man felt as if his face had been slapped and was unable to refute.

In the end, he could only spit out a mouthful of spit, but it was more like he was comforting himself. "Humph! So what if you are a rich second-generation heir? You're just a good-for-nothing playboy without any ability!"

Jiang Yu only smiled at this. According to his score, he was indeed a playboy. His family was rich, his grades were not good, and he liked to play.

However, it was all his father's fault that his results were so bad…

"Alright, my purpose here is not to quarrel with you. I just wanted to tell you after hearing what you said just now." Suddenly, his expression became stern. "I paid for the villa with my own wallet, so everything in the villa for this year is mine. I can do whatever I want. This is my right."

Lin Lin's face turned even uglier. Was this a warning?

"I can wait for you to finish celebrating before letting you go. I can also invite you to the villa to celebrate, but if I do, it would be out of kindness. You have no right to criticize me," After saying that, Jiang Yu left without caring about their expressions.

When his figure disappeared completely from sight, the others were furious. "That's Jiang Yu's attitude! To think that we are still classmates!"

"Tsk, as expected of a young master. You look at people differently."

Lin Lin mocked, "But so what? They were all the assets of his family. He is nothing on his own!"

Lin Xiaoyuan was speechless.

She wasn't in the mood to eat at this celebration banquet. She really didn't know what to say when she was classmates with such people.

"The villa has already given everyone double the compensation. What else do you want?"

"I think Jiang Yu is right," Lin Xiaoyuan said softly, "Since he's paying, the villa has to listen to him. He has no obligation to invite us."

When the person at the center of the celebration party spoke, the others were speechless. Or rather, they didn't know if they should say something. Lin Lin was refuted a few times and finally couldn't take it anymore. She confronted Lin Xiaoyuan.

"What's wrong? Lin Xiaoyuan, you were chased out by Jiang Yu, yet you're still defending him. Are you a masochist?"

Lin Xiaoyuan was so angry that her face turned red.

But Lin Lin didn't stop there, "Don't think that I don't know that you've been talking bad about Jiang Yu since the beginning. I think you've known his identity since long ago and rushed forward to be a bootlicker! Lin Xiaoyuan, I didn't expect you to be that kind of person!"

"Lin Lin, what are you talking about?" Lin Xiaoyuan's chest was burning with rage. "Forget it. I won't eat. I'll leave first."

She got up and left, and no one stopped her.

After Lin Xiaoyuan left, the remaining people looked at Lin Lin's expression and said uncertainty, "Uhm... Is it okay for her to leave?"

"Why does it matter? She's already someone else's bootlicker. Is there still a need for us to be friends with her?" Lin Lin's smile was full of disdain, "Let's eat. Let's not ruin our mood because of her."

When they thought about how Lin Xiaoyuan had been speaking up for Jiang Yu, they were in a bad mood.

What's so different between them and Jiang Yu other than being rich?

As expected, women were materialistic. They would do anything for money, even abandoning their principles!

After Jiang Yu left, he didn't return to the villa immediately. Instead, he continued to walk deeper into the mountain.

What happened just now did not affect his mood at all.
