In an instant, Yin Jiyuan's gaze locked onto Ling Feng.
It must be this scoundrel!
No wonder Qiu Yan had been so indifferent and resistant to him; she already had someone in her heart.
Perhaps it was because Ling Feng's looks and demeanor were too striking, but Yin Jiyuan, after just one glance at Ling Feng, felt an intense hatred for him!
"Ahem, Qiu Yan, didn't you hear what I said earlier? To ignore me in public, that's you. If it were anyone else, I would never tolerate it!"
As Yin Jiyuan spoke again, the sounds inside the elevator were instantly interrupted.
Everyone nervously looked towards Qiu Yan.
Qiu Yan had just managed to steady her anxious heart and was preparing to enter the elevator.
Suddenly being called out by Yin Jiyuan, she remembered that she had such a big troublemaker beside her!
At this moment, Ling Feng also noticed Yin Jiyuan and proactively said to Qiu Yan, "Qiu Yan, is something wrong?"
"Ah? Oh, Ling Feng, it's nothing, just a client from a group collaboration!"
When Ling Feng called her name, Qiu Yan became even more nervous, her words carrying a hint of explanation. It was clear she wanted absolutely no connection with Yin Jiyuan.
Upon hearing this, Yin Jiyuan's mouth twitched!
"Heh heh, Qiu Yan, your words are a bit inappropriate, aren't they? We've eaten together several times, and yet? Are we not friends?"
Qiu Yan bit her lower lip and shook her head at Yin Jiyuan, "Young Master Yin is joking. What is your status? Qiu Yan dares not presume!"
"Heh heh, I like hearing you say that, but I don't mind your status. I consider you a friend."
After saying that, Yin Jiyuan directly turned his attention to Ling Feng.
"Is this your old classmate? What? Do you remember what I said earlier? Have you booked a private room? If not, just say the word, and I'll help you sort it out."
Yin Jiyuan acted as if he were incredibly powerful, looking down at Ling Feng with a condescending gaze.
Yang Fei immediately saw that this guy was looking for trouble and instinctively wanted to step forward to resolve it.
However, Ling Feng raised his hand slightly, and Yang Fei stopped in his tracks.
Then, Ling Feng waved to Qiu Yan, "Haven't you explained to your client? I've booked the VIP lounge, let's go up."
Qiu Yan looked at Ling Feng beckoning her and walked in with no resistance.
Images of Ling Feng saving her when she was bullied by hooligans back in the day flashed through her mind. However, Ling Feng back then was too cold, while Ling Feng now had a smile that felt like a spring breeze.
Making him more approachable.
Seeing Qiu Yan enter the elevator,
Yin Jiyuan's expression instantly turned extremely unpleasant. "VIP lounge? You've already booked it? Is the scale big enough? A ten-person room or a twenty-person room?"
"No need to worry."
Ling Feng couldn't be bothered to pay Yin Jiyuan any more attention and directly pressed the button to close the elevator.
Yin Jiyuan's face turned extremely grim, his eyes wide with bewilderment.
He truly hadn't expected to be ignored like this. Since his family's business had grown, everyone within the Hanjiang City safe zone knew his identity!
His name, Young Master Yin, was always effective. When had it ever been the turn of others to show off in front of him?
And it was such a pretty boy!
He was even taking away the woman he fancied, which was utterly detestable!
"Scoundrel!"
Yin Jiyuan cursed, wanting to open the elevator but it was too late. He then stared intently at the floor where the elevator stopped.
Clearly, he intended to cause trouble later!
Inside the elevator, Yang Fei had already pressed the button for the seventh floor.
But when the elevator reached the second floor, Ling Feng pressed the button for the fifth floor.
Yang Fei was stunned.
Jia Dandan beside him instinctively asked, "Hey, Ling Feng, didn't you book the VIP lounge on the seventh floor? Why are you pressing the fifth floor?"
The two girls next to them also looked confused.
However, Qiu Yan frowned slightly and then smiled, shaking her head, "Are you worried that Yin Jiyuan will come up to cause trouble?"
Ling Feng hadn't expected Qiu Yan to be so perceptive and smiled at her, nodding, "It's better to avoid trouble than to create it. If he can't find us, he naturally won't cause trouble."
Qiu Yan understood that her guess was correct, which further improved her impression of Ling Feng.
Ling Feng now appeared more steady and mature, and very intelligent, clearly possessing a lot of social experience!
Jia Dandan next to them playfully punched Ling Feng's shoulder, "Oh my, I didn't realize you were so clever! But, Ling Feng, you have to be careful. That Yin Jiyuan has been eyeing Qiu Yan for a while. You stepped up for Qiu Yan this time and even got Young Master Yin stuck outside the elevator. He might come looking for trouble with you later!"
As Jia Dandan finished speaking, the elevator also stopped at the fifth floor.
Yin Jiyuan downstairs immediately let out a cold snort, "Hmph, the fifth floor. The VIP lounge there is only a twenty-person room. This pretty boy dares to show off in front of me. Today, I will crush you under my feet!"
Saying that, Yin Jiyuan ran to the other elevator and pulled out a middle-aged bald man who was about to get in.
"Hey, hey, what are you doing? Stealing an elevator too?!"
*Slap!*
"Get lost, you blind fool, you don't even recognize our Young Master Yin?"
A bodyguard beside him immediately slapped the middle-aged bald man.
The bald man fell to the ground, extremely annoyed, and recognized Yin Jiyuan, his face turning pale. He lowered his head, not daring to speak, until the elevator door closed.
Only after the other party's elevator door closed did the bald man get up and grumble in shame and anger, "A纨绔子弟 from Yin Group, what's with the arrogance? Someone will deal with you sooner or later!"
He grumbled like this, but he absolutely dared not say it out loud. Once he finished, the bald man quickly ran away.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Ling Feng and the others had already exited the elevator on the seventh floor.
"It seems Class Monitor Qiu's charm hasn't diminished over the years; she has admirers everywhere. However, that kid just now wasn't much."
Ling Feng reminded Qiu Yan as he stepped out of the elevator.
Qiu Yan still didn't dare to look directly into Ling Feng's eyes and only nodded in response, "Mhm, I know. But you still need to be careful. Yin Jiyuan is very petty. If he couldn't find you this time, he might do something quite crazy."
"Oh really? Is this kid very formidable?" Ling Feng asked back, his tone relaxed.
"You don't even know the young master of Yin Group? No way! Ling Feng, how long has it been since you returned to Hanjiang?"
Jia Dandan looked at Ling Feng with some surprise.
"Heh heh, it should be about three and a half years."
Ling Feng replied with a smile.
"Three and a half years? That would be before the nationwide martial arts reform! Oh, that explains it. Yin Jiyuan's Yin Group rose to prominence a year ago. They are Hanjiang City's largest supplier of monster materials. Very rich! New money, nouveau riche, a spoiled brat!"
Jia Dandan revealed all the information about the other party in one sentence.
Ling Feng subtly waved at Yang Fei.
Yang Fei immediately understood Ling Feng's intention and nodded slightly, going aside to make a phone call.
Tonight was to invite classmates to the wedding, and he didn't want anyone to disrupt the mood.
"Heh heh, then he's really not someone to mess with. Alright, I'll be careful of him." Although he had arranged everything secretly, Ling Feng still thanked Jia Dandan verbally.
