Chapter 129: Everyone Has Their Own Path
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The vice president of Capital University wore a shocked expression, followed by a sense of regret as he said, “What? The Performing Arts Department? That’s such a pity.”
The principal responded, “Why is it a pity? Everyone has their own path. Even in that department, she’s equally the best!”
The principal was quite proud, as he believed that a school with many talented students was a testament to its excellence.
The vice president of Capital University sighed lightly and remarked, “It’s still a pity, but everyone has their own goals.”
Jiang Ling’er reached the school gate and saw Wen Nuan and Qiu Yang chatting with Su Qi. She was somewhat surprised but quickly approached them, saying, “I’m sorry for keeping you waiting.”
Wen Nuan immediately walked up to Jiang Ling’er and took her arm.
Jiang Ling’er asked, “Why didn’t you rest a bit longer?”
Wen Nuan explained, “I didn’t sleep much. My brother called and woke me up, and I couldn’t fail back asleep.”
Jiang Ling’er remarked, “Well, if your brother knew you were coming here, he wouldn’t have let you drive alone.”
Wen Nuan smiled and said, “I told him yesterday. 1 haven’t had breakfast yet, and I’m starving. Let’s find a place to eat quickly.”
Su Qi chimed in, “1 know a decent restaurant around here.”
Wen Nuan agreed, “What are we waiting for? Let’s go.”
The four of them soon arrived at a restaurant called “Capital Fragrance” in a private room.
The restaurant manager personally came to attend to them, which raised some confusion among the group.
Were they trying to overcharge them for being out-of-towners?
Even if that were the case, there was no need for the restaurant manager to personally serve them. Typically, a restaurant’s headwaiter would handle such matters.
However, considering the bustling crowd outside and the peaceful atmosphere in the private room, they didn’t think too much of it. The four of them ordered six dishes and a soup.
After placing the order, the restaurant manager said, “For you four, this meal will be complimentary. Would you like some fruit juice?”
Wen Nuan was surprised and asked, “Complimentary?”
Was this some incredible stroke of luck?
The restaurant manager replied, “Indeed, it’s complimentary. Our boss insisted on treating you to this meal.”
Jiang Ling’er inquired, “May I ask, what’s your boss’s name?”
The restaurant manager smiled and said, “May I ask if you are Miss Jiang Ling’er?”
Jiang Ling’er nodded, and the restaurant manager continued, “In that case, our boss has mentioned that he’s your uncle.”
Jiang Ling’er’s face darkened.
It had to be Li Yu, only Li Yu would do something so eccentric.
Wen Nuan looked puzzled and asked Jiang Ling’er, “Ling’er, don’t you only have one uncle?”
Jiang Ling’er sighed and said, “It’s Li Yu.”
Wen Nuan dragged out her response playfully, “Oooh…”
Wen Nuan deliberately dragged out her words and looked at Jiang Ling ‘er meaningfully.
Jiang Ling’er was speechless.
She felt very uncomfortable at this moment. Why did Wen Nuan have to make it sound so weird?
“Huh?” Qiu Yang asked curiously. “Jiang Ling’er, is he your boyfriend?”
Jiang Ling’er rolled her eyes at Qiu Yang.
Qiu Yang wore an innocent expression, wondering why she was giving him such a look. Did he say something wrong?
“Isn’t he your uncle?” Su Qi asked. “That would make him an elder; there’s no way he could be your boyfriend, right?”
Jiang Ling’er confirmed, “That’s right.”
“What?” Qiu Yang asked. “Then your uncle is really nice.”
At that moment, a voice spoke up, “Alright, what about me? Can I join too?”
Li Yu walked in from outside.
Li Yu was casually dressed yet exuded an air of sophistication and elegance.
Jiang Ling’er raised her eyebrows. This man should be the type that many women would pounce on. His outfit was quite impressive.
Sensing the extraordinary aura emanating from Li Yu, Qiu Yang was momentarily taken aback. Despite his gentle appearance, Qiu Yang knew better than to mess with this man.
Su Qi instinctively swallowed and moved closer to Qiu Yang, whispering softly, “I don’t think this is just an elder, bro.”
Qiu Yang nodded in complete agreement.
To avoid any awkwardness, Jiang Ling’er said, “Come on in. If you don’t mind, let’s all eat together.”
She then glanced at the others and added, “Um… Is that okay with you guys?”
Li Yu gave a half-smile and looked at the three of them as if challenging anyone to disagree.
Qiu Yang reacted the fastest and immediately said, “Sounds good. The more, the merrier.”
Wen Nuan added, “Since Ling’er agreed, I’m fine with it too. Besides, we’re somewhat acquainted now, right, Mr. Li?”
Jiang Ling’er was speechless. They were hardly acquainted, just familiar at best.
Su Qi, feeling slightly nervous, also agreed, “No problem.”
Li Yu glanced at the restaurant manager and said, “Alright, you can go back to work. 1’11 handle things here..”
