However, being kind-heart was all well and good.

For a man, the most important qualities were talent, and even...family background.

Yaoyao felt somewhat sorry for Qingqing.

As she looked at Qingqing, very beautiful with many good-looking, wealthy, and talented men seeking her attention, Yaoyao felt that Qingqing deserved someone better.

In her mind, Lin Yun lacked a prestigious family background and talent. He did not understand romance and sophistication. She thought that Qingqing was probably staying with Yun due to a temporary impulse, or maybe out of a sense of gratitude. They didn\'t seem to share common interests. Yaoyao believed that Qingqing might regret her decision if they stayed together for too long.

However, she did concede Lin Yun was not a bad pick himself.

Also, she did not want to embarrass Lin Yun.

Especially considering, he was still Qingqing\'s boyfriend at the moment.

On the other hand, Qingqing, Lin Yun, and Lin Mengmeng listened unconcernedly to the crowd\'s gossip, merely exchanging smiles.

Both Qingqing and Mengmeng understood Lin Yun\'s current situation, so they naturally ignored the contemptuous remarks from the other boys.

Lin Yun was also unaffected. He was completely aware of his own situation.

A poor person might usually feel angry and ashamed when humiliated, but not him.

While clearly, a rich person might only laugh at such situations.

The ones who organized the gathering were said to be a few rich young men, so they covered all the expenses.

Even the cost of the buses which brought everyone here.

The buses were parked in front of the school gate.

Yaoyao, Mengmeng, Qingqing, and Lin Yun boarded the buses.

Yaoyao, Mengmeng, and Qingqing were classmates. Many of the people on the bus were their classmates.

"I didn\'t expect Mengmeng to join this gathering, she usually doesn\'t participate in these group activities."

"And Qingqing too. Now that both school beauties are joining, this gathering is bound to be lively."

Some male students expressed their surprise upon seeing Mengmeng and Qingqing board the bus.

"Is that guy Qingqing\'s boyfriend?"

"When did Qingqing get a boyfriend? I haven\'t heard anything about it?"

"I feel like my heart just got wounded…"

Learning about Lin Yun from the ladies, some students who had been harboring secret crushes on Qingqing were crestfallen.

Even men who had girlfriends felt heartbroken at the sight.

Qingqing and Mengmeng were goddesses in the eyes of many of their male classmates and even many boys throughout the whole school. Seeing their goddesses had boyfriends, how could they not be upset?

"Thank God Mengmeng does not have a boyfriend, or else my heart would be shattered…" one of the boys said, clutching his heart with a painfully muck expression.

"What are you lamenting about? Even if Qingqing and Mengmeng didn\'t have boyfriends, you won\'t stand a chance. There are loads of outstanding boys pursuing them!" His friend replied, rolling his eyes.

"Who says so? As long as they\'re still single, there\'s always hope. Don\'t you know many flowers thrive best in dung? Who can say definitively that I won\'t be that dung someday?" The boy retorted with a pout.

"Don\'t know about others but how about Great Talent Qi Nan, Jiang Yufeng, Ling Yunzhi, and Zhang Tianyu, who was madly pursuing Qingqing until recently. Do you think you can hold a candle to any of them?" The boy\'s friend glared back.

Great Talent Qi Nan, a best-selling author, had already written three best-selling books while only in his junior year. His web novels and print books sold like hotcakes, and he reportedly made hundreds of thousands a month. His future prospects were boundless. He was a strong contender.

Jiang Yufeng was a famous businessman from the Jiang Group at Shen City. Although the Jiang Group was not listed, it reportedly was worth nearly a hundred billion. If such companies went public, nobody could stand up against them.

It was rumored that Ling Yunzhi\'s family held substantial power in the military. He went to the military for training every summer. A senior military officer had once personally delivered him to school and had treated him very courteously.

People knew Zhang Tianyu for his flamboyance. He was the only son of the chairman of listed company Tianyu Group. Despite recent problems at Tianyu Group, the camel was always bigger than a horse. Ordinary students dared not underestimate him.

If these four men were to go after Mengmeng and Qingqing, no one else stand a chance.

Great Talent Qi Nan and Zhang Tianyu had always been pursuing Qingqing, while Jiang Yufeng and Ling Yunzhi were infatuated with Mengmeng. This was common knowledge.

"You!...In the end, didn\'t Qingqing choose this man as her boyfriend? He\'s taking the bus with us; I assume he isn\'t well off. How am I worse off than him?" The guy responded, evidently agitated.

"Leaving looks aside, I think you can\'t match up to him. Besides, did you think Qingqing\'s boyfriend was someone simple?" His friend replied, chuckling.

"What\'s so special about him, where did you see that?" he asked, furrowing his brows.

"See the clothes he\'s wearing? If I\'m not mistaken, that\'s the latest design from CK, which I estimate must cost at least 50,000 yuan… Does someone who can afford that seem like a simple person to you?" his friend shot back, shaking his head.

"His outfit costs at least 50,000 yuan?" The boy looked surprised.

If Qingqing\'s boyfriend\'s outfit really cost that much, then as his friend mentioned, the man had to have a good background.

"It\'s just an outfit. An outfit that costs 50,000 yuan…my family can buy that too…" Nonetheless, the boy stood his ground.

"Qingqing\'s family is just ordinary. If she is dating that kind of boy, it\'s just fine. However, Mengmeng\'s family affairs are not that simple. Even if Yufeng Jiang or Ling Yunzhi wanted to pursue her, it would be difficult, let alone you." His friend said, laughing.

How could he have never thought about Qingqing, Mengmeng, and all those drop-dead gorgeous girls? However, there was no dearth of powerful rivals.

"Speaking of this, I remembered, the gathering seems to be hosted by Great Talent Qi Nan, Jiang Yufeng, Ling Yunzhi. I heard that Great Talent Qi Nan planned to confess to Qingqing at the gathering... I didn\'t expect that not only would Qingqing have a boyfriend, but the boyfriend is also going to attend. Now, it\'s getting interesting…" His friend added, suddenly recalling something.

"Qi Nan plans to confess to Qingqing at the gathering? Really?"

"Whether true or not, it is true that Qi Nan has been courting her. There\'s definitely a good show at the gathering…"

"Moreover, generally, Mengmeng doesn\'t participate in gatherings like this. Now that Mengmeng is here, I guess Jiang Yufeng and Ling Yunzhi must also be participating in the gathering. This function is definitely going to be exciting…".

Although the gathering was organized by Jiang Yufeng and Ling Yunzhi, they were after Mengmeng. If Mengmeng did not show up, they might just make an appearance and leave, or they might not show themselves at the gathering, which had happened many times.

But this time was different, as Mengmeng had decided to attend.

On the bus, it wasn\'t just these two guys whispering among themselves. There were many others; their gaze alternated between Lin Yun, Qingqing, and Mengmeng.
