"Why? What is her job now, what status does she hold?" Lin Yifan asked curiously.
"She's a big star now. You, this lovestruck fool, should stop dreaming about getting with a swan," Yellow continued to mock.
They had always been archenemies, in the past and still now. Anyway, she always looked down on Lin Yifan with a superior attitude, while Lin Yifan regarded her with contempt, neither of them had any respect for the other.
"A big star? Which big star? Why haven't I seen her?" Lin Yifan pressed.
"Little Jing is usually low-key, she's a pop singer, of course you wouldn't know. I guess you've heard her songs but don't realize that she's Tang Jing," Yellow answered.
"A pop singer? She was a good student, why did she suddenly switch to becoming a pop singer?" Lin Yifan continued to ask.
"That year, she failed her college entrance exams and couldn't get into Yanjing University; so she went to a well-known media university and majored in broadcasting. At one event, due to her beautiful voice, she was promoted by a veteran singer and gradually became a popular singer," Yellow replied.
"What's her stage name?" Lin Yifan inquired.
He couldn't wait to find out what this once kind and helpful girl had turned into now.
"What? You still haven't given up?" Yellow scoffed, thinking Lin Yifan was once again indulging in hopeless fantasies.
"It's not that I haven't given up, I just want to see if she has been doing well recently," Lin Yifan answered.
"Oh! Whether she's doing well or not, what's it to you? And, I'm not afraid to give you a bit of hopeless news," Yellow continued to berate.
"What hopeless news?" Lin Yifan curiously asked.
"Little Jing is soon getting married, and her fiancé is a son from a Clan; so, you better know your place and don't be unwise. Clan sons are not someone we can provoke," Yellow said, her eyes showing a hint of jealousy.
In fact, she had always considered her beauty no less than that of Tang Jing, but why did everyone choose Tang Jing and not her; even the Clan son she wanted to attach herself with did the same.
She was very resentful, even now that she was attached to a wealthy man and enjoying boundless riches, she was still unhappy.
"Clan son? Which Clan's son?" Lin Yifan persisted, apparently refusing to let it go.
At this point, Er Dan couldn't stand it anymore, so he advised, "Brother! Don't think too much, a Clan son is not something you can afford to provoke, just lead a good life on solid ground, find a woman you like to be with."
"Exactly! You keep dreaming about eating Little Jing's swan meat, but don't you look at whether you're even qualified," Yellow continued with disdain.
"Oh! You guys might be thinking too much! I really just want to know if she has been doing well these years, that's all!" Lin Yifan was also vexed by these people.
He now had four wives as beautiful as heavenly immortals, how could he be dissatisfied?
"You think just because you want to know, you could know? With your current status, do you think you have a chance to get close to Tang Jing, to contact Tang Jing? Ridiculous," Yellow was speechless, shocked by Lin Yifan's naivety.
However, what she didn't know was that her disdainful remarks triggered a huge reaction from Lin Yifan.
"Damn it! I've even dared to trick the head of a Clan, what can't I do?"
The voice was loud, filling the entire room.
Everyone had to cover their ears to prevent their eardrums from bursting.
Afterwards, Yellow blurted out, "Keep bluffing! Keep bluffing! Let's see what kind of universe you can bluff into existence!"
Meanwhile, Er Dan tugged at his clothes and whispered persuasively, "Brother, you shouldn't just say things like that carelessly, worried about walls having ears."
"What is there to fear! I'm telling the truth!" Lin Yifan responded defiantly.
Hearing this brash statement, everyone sighed and muttered to themselves, "Alas! This guy is beyond help. Should we call a doctor to take him away?"
"Take your sister! I'm perfectly lucid!" Yifan roared at these old classmates who were whispering amongst themselves, truly infuriated.
At that moment, Yellow couldn't take it anymore and capitulated, "Fine, fine, fine! You're amazing! You're amazing! Since you really want to know, I'll tell you the truth. Tang Jing's fiancé is the Zhao Family's eldest son—Zhao Yi! Now you can go and make trouble for him, try to snatch Tang Jing back."
Earlier, she hadn't wanted to tell Lin Yifan because she still had a bit of conscience left and didn't want Lin Yifan to go to his death. Now, since Lin Yifan seemed so eager to die, she might as well oblige him.
"What! It's that bitch's brother! I'll die before I let her fall into his hands!" Lin Yifan responded fiercely.
However, everyone thought this statement was laughable and didn't take it seriously.
"Alright! Brother, don't be angry anymore! Let's sit down, have a meal together, talk about the past, and discuss the future," Er Dan pulled at Lin Yifan's clothes, urging him to sit down.
In fact, among the men present, who wouldn't want to win over Tang Jing? But she was the phoenix on the branch, and they could only admire her, so it was best not to harbor any delusional hopes.
Lin Yifan calmed down, Er Dan was right, being angry was useless now. He could only wait till later to talk with Tang Jing and understand the situation.
But tonight's news truly shocked him.
He hadn't expected a once good girl to have become so mercenary.
"What exactly made you become like this? Is it life, or were you forced?" Lin Yifan wondered in his heart, eager to know the real reason.
After the storm had passed, everyone started talking about their pasts, what they had done, their current jobs and positions, and how much they earned.
After chatting for a while, Yellow couldn't help but turn her attention to Lin Yifan and ask, "Lin You Poor Dude, what job do you have now? How much do you earn?"
"Unemployed, income zero!" Lin Yifan answered bluntly, not wanting to say more.
After all, even if he told the truth, Yellow wouldn't believe him. It was better to save his breath.
"Pfft!"
"No way! Lin You Poor Dude, you're doing that badly? Do you want me, your older sister, to recommend a job for you?" Yellow asked mockingly.
She had guessed this would be the case, but had not expected to be right.
"Thanks, but I'm not interested!" Lin Yifan answered bluntly again, unwilling to engage with Yellow any further.
"Ha! Such backbone!"
Seeing Lin Yifan's dismissive look, Yellow couldn't help but scorn. An unemployed man, what rights did he have to act so haughty? It was utterly ridiculous.
"If I didn't have even this bit of backbone, I might as well be dead," Lin Yifan retorted, not wishing to acknowledge Yellow any further.
