Chapter 134: Barbeque Party

Translator: Lonelytree

Xiao Lingyu’s group had a beautiful woman and many handsome men. Naturally, they attracted a lot of attention. Not all of them were good though.

“Eight men and one woman, something fishy is going on there!” Two fashionably-dressed women with heavy make-up said in a sharp tone.

One of the women studied Xiao Lingyu’s group and narrowed her eyes slightly, “I believe that is Zheng Haiyang, the prince of the Zheng Real Estate; Gu Ziye, the general manager of Gu Family Hotel; Yuan Xuanhao, the owner of Fei Teng Car Dealership; and Qian Yifan, the son of Deputy County Magistrate Qian.”

“Sister Lan, do you know them?” Liu Lingling said with slight surprise, “They sound so powerful.” Then, she nodded, “Then again, Sister Lan Lan is the daughter of the UMALE Chief. It’s natural for you to know these people.” She looked around and urged with a smile, “Sister Lan Lan, since you know them, why don’t we go and say hello to them?”

Every single one of the men was rich and powerful. If she hooked up with one of them, she would be raised from the ashes. Most importantly, she wouldn’t need to serve Liu Jielan anymore. Liu Lingling had confidence in her charm. She could make the men fall for her. She only needed an opportunity.

Liu Jielan hesitated, “I don’t think that’s a good idea.”

Liu Lingling said, “Sister Lan Lan, why not? We’re just going over to say hello to them. You’re friends with them, right?”

Liu Jielan thought for a moment and said, “Alright then.” The two women walked over.

Liu Jielan stopped before Gu Ziye’s grill and watched as the men busied themselves with skewers of vegetables and meat. She smiled and greeted them, “Young Master Qian, Young Master Zheng, President Yuan, President Gu, what a coincidence to meet you here.”

The people who were named raised their heads. The four men narrowed their eyes in confusion. It was Zheng Haiyang who remembered the woman’s identity first, “Oh, it’s Miss Liu! How is Chief Liu doing recently?” This statement was to remind others of this woman’s identity.

There were several Chief Liu’s at the county, but there was only one who had an adult daughter. He was the UMALE Chief, Liu Jinhong.

The others nodded indifferently. “Oh, hello.” Then, they returned to their work.

Liu Lingling was dissatisfied with the men’s lack of reaction. She said in a sweet and gentle voice, “We were flying kites over there. But we have to come over when we saw you guys!” She thought she could hook the men with her melodic voice, but none of the four men even responded. It made her angry and embarrassed.

However, Liu Lingling didn’t dare show it on her face. But, she knew she couldn’t give up this precious opportunity. She raised her voice but continued in her strangely soft voice, “Sister Lan Lan, didn’t you say you were hungry earlier? We should find a place to buy something to eat!”

She was giving the men a chance to invite them to join the party. It was the opportunity to prove what a gentleman they were.

However…

Liu Lingling did grab Zheng Haiyang’s attention. But at the same time, she noticed the sarcastic grin on his lips. He looked at Liu Lingling with contempt. Zheng Haiyang added in a mock concerned tone, “Miss Liu is hungry? Then, Miss Liu should go and find something to eat. Good luck!”

Liu Lingling, “…”

Liu Jielan, “…”

‘What is going on? Shouldn’t he invite us to join them? Is he trying to chase us away?’

Those who had self-respect would have left once they heard Zheng Haiyang’s words. At least, they would save face.

Liu Jielan’s face turned red. She already wanted to turn and leave, but Liu Lingling pulled her back and shot her a look. ‘Sister Lan Lan, you’ve been pursuing Deputy Magistrate Qian’s son. How can you give up now?’

Since the other party didn’t give them any face, Liu Lingling reacted by becoming more thick-skinned. She said in a friendly tone. “Young Master Zheng, Sister Lan Lan, and I are quite hungry. President Gu, President Yuan, can you spare us some of your skewers?”

Liu Lingling noticed that Zheng Haiyang didn’t fall for her trick, so she turned her target to Gu Ziye and Yuan Xuanhao instead. Her original target was actually Qian Yifan, but since Liu Jielan wanted him, she couldn’t make any moves at him yet. She would go behind her back when she wasn’t looking. For now, Gu Ziye and Yuan Xuanhuan were good enough choices.

Gu Ziye and Yuan Xuanhao immediately frowned and looked at each other. ‘Does this woman think we’re fools? Does she think we can’t see her obvious goal? What a joke!’

They wanted to ignore her, but the woman kept chattering around them, and it was very annoying.

Gu Ziye glanced at Liu Lingling and then Liu Jielan. “Miss Liu, who is this young lady? Why is she making all the decisions for you? And she is rather chatty. She reminds me of a buzzing fly.”

Liu Lingling thought she finally got Gu Ziye’s attention, but the next second, her face paled. She thought the other two men would be easier to deal with, but they had a sharper tongue than Zheng Haiyang. They were not gentlemanly at all.

However, Liu Lingling had many experiences dealing with proud and powerful men. She had to endure no matter how severe the humiliation was. Eventually, the men would fall inexorably in love with her. Then, she would take revenge by stepping on them and having them surrender their money to her willingly. She had done the exact thing with five of her exes.

At first, all five were indifferent to her. But in the end, they were seduced by her beauty and sweet voice. Even now, they were crying to get back together. Liu Lingling had the means, the brain, and the patience. In comparison, Liu Jielan was weaker.

Liu Jielan also looked insulted when she heard Gu Ziye. Her face turned red and white. However, she was still the daughter of the UMALE Chief. To think she and her friend would be insulted like this. Gu Ziye was too disrespectful!

Liu Jielan said angrily, “Gu Ziye, how can you talk about my friend like that? You’re being too ungentlemanly. Can’t you see that you’re going to make my friend cry? Is it okay for the general manager of a big hotel to bully a weak girl like this?”

Liu Lingling wore a green dress. Her long hair was wavy and curly. She had fair skin and passable facial features. A touch of make-up made her look charming and pure. Her sweet voice was also incredibly attractive to men.

Liu Lingling blushed with embarrassment. She looked like she was going to cry. She looked like an innocent bunny that men wanted to hug and protect.

However, the eight men present ignored her and showed zero sympathies. Instead, Liu Lingling’s acting attracted the attention of other men at the campsite.

A short man with acne all over his face came over to point angrily at Gu Ziye. “Are you still a man? How can you bully a girl like this?” Then, he turned to comfort Liu Lingling. “Miss, it’s okay. This man doesn’t know how to look after you, but big brother does. Come with big brother.” Then, he moved to touch Liu Lingling’s slender fingers. ‘Oh, such tender skin! I’d die for her.’

Liu Lingling lowered her head to hide her disgust. She endured nausea and pulled back her hand. She sighed sadly, “Big Brother, thank you. I’m fine.”

Then, she turned to Liu Jielan. She looked innocent and harmless. Her expression was full of grievance.

Gu Ziye rolled his eyes in annoyance and said, “Okay, please take your pity party elsewhere. Don’t interrupt our party.” He had no pity for this white lotus.

“Shoo!” At that moment, Yuan Xuanhao came over with a handful of leeks and cabbages. “Why are you two standing here? You’re being such a hindrance!”

The acne-faced man, “…”

Liu Jialan, “…”

Liu Lingling, “…”

These men were really… too infuriating.

Liu Jielan was embarrassed. She stood up for her friend, but the men didn’t give her face at all. She couldn’t stay any longer. She turned to Liu Lingling and said, “Lingling, let’s go!” Liu Jielan’s status was lower than these men, so there was nothing she could do but to make a retreat.

However, Liu Lingling was not willing to admit defeat. There was no man she couldn’t charm. Furthermore, these men and their power were too tempting for her. Even if she had been told to leave, she was not going to. Due to her deluded confidence, Liu Lingling believed the men were only treating her like this because they only saw Liu Jielan and hadn’t really paid her any attention. Liu Jielan had dragged her down!

Therefore, she had to think of a way to get them to focus their attention on her. She would use another method to lure in the men. She looked around and saw the younger men surrounding Xiao Lingyu.

However, if she ran over now, her motive would be too obvious, so she needed a stooge. Who was the better candidate than her Sister Lan Lan?

Liu Lingling held Liu Jielan’s hand and nodded. “Okay, let’s go!”
