Playboy in the City-Chapter 143: Chen Yang Is a Mutt

"Huh?"

Just as he suppressed the urge to puff out his chest, Chen Yang’s gaze fell on a naturally beautiful woman with a stunning figure, dressed in jeans. Among the women present, her status was clearly that of the group’s leader.

Even Song Lingxue and Lin Ruixin were smiling sweetly as they leaned against her, holding her arm and chatting happily. The other women gathered around, making the trio look like princesses and the undisputed main characters of the gathering.

"Ling Xue, Xin Xin, who’s that handsome guy? Aren’t you going to introduce him?" someone asked Song Lingxue and Lin Ruixin, her eyes brightening the moment she noticed Chen Yang.

"Yeah, who is that handsome guy? Is he one of your boyfriends?"

"Xin Xin has never dated, so it can’t be hers. It must be Ling Xue’s."

"Wow, Ling Xue! The holiday just started and you’ve already found a new fling? He’s so handsome and well-built, too. I have to say, I really like that masculine physique."

"..."

They appraised Chen Yang as if admiring an object, chattering amongst themselves as they questioned Song Lingxue and Lin Ruixin.

However, a trace of disdain for Chen Yang lingered in their hearts. First, his attire was far too ordinary. Second, he had arrived in Song Lingxue’s car, which meant he was clearly not the scion of a wealthy family or an official’s son. Of course, they didn’t let their disdain show; after all, it was important to maintain their sisterly bond.

This man is not simple. Jiang Baibing, the leader of their clique, noticed something different about Chen Yang at a glance. It was his aura. His deep eyes and calm demeanor were similar to the men her father associated with at family gatherings, and yet, there was something different about him.

Still, she was certain that even though he dressed plainly, he was definitely no ordinary person.

"Heh, you vixens. Just because I’ve dated before, you assume I’m always swapping out boyfriends," Song Lingxue said, rolling her eyes at them before jutting her rosy lips toward Lin Ruixin. "This is our Campus Belle Lin’s boyfriend. Her heart’s already with him. I wish I had the skills to find such a handsome and well-built boyfriend."

"Sister Ling Xue, you..." Lin Ruixin’s face flushed red upon hearing Song Lingxue’s playful, sarcastic banter. She could be open when she was alone with Song Lingxue, but in front of so many classmates, she was utterly mortified.

"Wow, no way! Our Campus Belle Lin found a boyfriend?!"

"Tsk, tsk. Liu Feng and Qiu Fei are going to be drowning in jealousy. They’ll be heartbroken."

"Alas, poor Liu Feng and Qiu Fei. But besides their family money, they can’t compare to this tall, masculine guy."

"..."

Hearing that Chen Yang was Lin Ruixin’s boyfriend, they all exclaimed in surprise, their voices a mixture of admiration, jealousy, and of course, a hint of schadenfreude.

"Hmph! Why bring them up? I have nothing to do with them. I was so sick of them at school," Lin Ruixin snorted coldly and ran toward Chen Yang. "I only want my Brother Xiao Yang. My Brother Xiao Yang is a hundred times better than them!"

"Sigh."

Seeing Lin Ruixin’s display, Song Lingxue could only shake her head. Those nearby were surprised. Lin Ruixin had always kept to herself; how could she suddenly have a boyfriend?

It looks like Xin Xin really hit the jackpot this time, landing herself an amazing catch! Only Jiang Baibing was smiling, her beautiful eyes filled with genuine happiness for Lin Ruixin.

After all, there were some things she could see that others couldn’t. They moved in different circles. Even if she explained it, these superficial girls around her would probably refuse to believe her.

"Big Sis, what do you think?"

"Yeah, Big Sis!"

Everyone looked toward Jiang Baibing, including Song Lingxue, who knew Jiang Baibing had always had a sharp eye.

"He seems great," Jiang Baibing said with a smiling nod, not elaborating further.

VROOM! VROOM!

SCREECH!

Just then, six or seven luxury cars sped over, coming to a flashy stop right beside the group of beautiful women. Audis, convertible BMWs, Mercedes—though none were top-tier luxury models, they were still quite impressive for a group of university students. They were more than enough to prove the owners’ backgrounds and family assets.

"Big Sis, you’re all here?"

A car door opened. From the vehicle at the front, a petite, stunning woman with heavy makeup stepped out, followed by a slender young man with an acne-marked face wearing sunglasses.

Huo Lili greeted Jiang Baibing and the others with a smile. But when her gaze landed on Lin Ruixin clinging to Chen Yang’s arm, her eyes filled with jealousy. However, upon seeing Chen Yang’s incredibly plain clothes, she was filled with disdain, silently cursing him for an uncouth bumpkin.

"Yo, who’s this dude? Getting our Campus Belle Lin to cling all over him, impressive," Yu Junfei said. He stared at the handsome Chen Yang with Lin Ruixin clinging to him, his heart filling with jealousy and bitterness. He had pursued Lin Ruixin before, but she wouldn’t even give him a second glance.

Not one to pass up a good show, he loudly called out to the well-dressed young men behind him, "Madman! Qiu! Get over here! Your Campus Belle Lin has been snatched!"

"What? Who?"

"Who dares to snatch my woman? Doesn’t he know I’m pursuing Xin Xin? I won’t have anyone but her!"

From the back of the crowd, Liu Feng and Qiu Fei heard his call and immediately charged over, looking murderous.

The other young men also hurried over, their faces full of excitement, ready for the show. Of course, they were also curious to see who had managed to win Campus Belle Lin’s favor.

But when they saw it was Chen Yang being held by Lin Ruixin, they immediately sneered. They thought he’d be some big shot, but he was just a country bumpkin. His clothes were worse than what their family’s maids and servants wore.

"Who the hell are you, kid?"

A slightly effeminate-looking young man, Liu Feng, ran up to Chen Yang. Seeing Lin Ruixin acting so affectionately with him, Liu Feng’s heart flooded with jealousy, as if a jar of vinegar had been overturned. His eyes filled with hostility as he reached out to pull Lin Ruixin away from Chen Yang’s arm.

"Exactly, buddy. Who are you? Don’t you know Xin Xin is going to be my woman?"

Qiu Fei, who had a distinctive hairstyle, felt the same. Lin Ruixin was his goddess, the noble beauty he dreamed of every night. How could she be tarnished by someone else? Enraged, he reached out to shove Chen Yang aside.

"A fight’s gonna break out, a fight’s gonna break out, hehe..."

"..."

Meanwhile, the women around Song Lingxue were filled with anticipation, ready to watch the drama unfold.

Yu Junfei crossed his arms, a look of disdain on his face, while his girlfriend Huo Lili smirked, eagerly anticipating Lin Ruixin’s upcoming humiliation.
