Rejected by the Campus Belle, I Find My True Love-Chapter 375 - 373: We Are the Ones Who Deserve Sympathy

Chapter 375: Chapter 373: We Are the Ones Who Deserve Sympathy

"Dad, actually I..."

"There’s nothing to worry about at home. As long as you’re doing well out there, we’re doing well."

Reading this, Xue Yang could no longer hold back. "Dad, the truth is, I’m not short on money at all anymore. I have skipped class for work, but please don’t worry. I will complete my studies diligently, I absolutely won’t fail any subjects, and I’ll get my diploma on time."

In front of his father, Xue Yang was still the same child who had never grown up, terrified of being caught doing something wrong and getting a beating.

"What? You skipped classes to work?! You ungrateful brat! I’m paying for your university education, and this is how you repay me? Fine, fine! You’d better not come home for the summer break, or I’ll break your legs."

After sending the message, Xue Yuanqing immediately turned to Zhong Hailan. "Honey, with a reply like that, the brat won’t suspect Xiao Xi, right?"

"For once, you were smart."

Zhong Hailan turned to scoop up her noodles. After the long delay, she was hungry too.

"What do you mean, ’for once’? I’ve always been smart, haven’t I? Otherwise, how could we have such a brilliant son?"

"Is our son’s brilliance your doing? Our son clearly takes after me. If he were like you, who knows what he’d have turned out to be."

"Yes, yes, he’s like you. But even if I get no credit for his brilliance, I should at least get some for the effort, right?"

Zhong Hailan shot him a playful glare. "Go on, get out of here. You’re never serious."

Seeing Xue Yuanqing’s messages, Xue Yang couldn’t help but laugh out loud. If I couldn’t see through such a clumsy lie, I’d have lived my life for nothing.

Xue Yang considered transferring the money back, but on second thought, he decided to let it be for now. I’ll have it out with them when I go back for summer break. By then, the New Energy Vehicle Market will be open, so hiding it any longer will be impossible anyway. I really need to think about how to explain where all this money came from.

Downstairs at the Lipu Building, Lin Xi stepped out of the Bentley. "Uncle He, we’re here. I’ll head on up."

Uncle He retrieved a potted pothos from the trunk. "Miss, that’s a lot to carry. Let me see you up."

"It’s alright. I can manage." Lin Xi held a thermal lunch box in one hand and took the potted pothos from Uncle He with the other.

I noticed last night that Xue Yang’s office was missing some greenery. The other offices had a splash of green here and there, but his only had work supplies. No plants at all. So, she had picked one up on her way over today.

"Then I will wait for you here."

"There’s no need, Uncle He. You can head back first. I’ll probably be a while."

"Very well, Miss. Call me if you need anything."

"Okay."

With that, Lin Xi walked into the building. Uncle He stood in place for a moment, waiting until her figure vanished from sight before getting back in the car, starting the engine, and driving off.

I have to admit, Young Master Xue is truly capable. Renting out an entire office building like this in less than a year... I doubt even the Chairman could have done that. Uncle He suddenly wondered if a man like Xue Yang would really be content to become part of the Lin Corporation one day. He shook his head, not daring to dwell on the thought. I just hope the Miss doesn’t get hurt.

Carrying her things, Lin Xi stepped out of the elevator on the 33rd floor. A young woman she had never seen before was sitting at the reception desk. The receptionist, of course, had never seen Lin Xi either.

Startled by the sudden appearance of such a beautiful woman on the 33rd floor, Wu Xiaoya froze for a second before standing up and asking politely, "Hello, may I ask who you are looking for?" That’s strange. How did security let someone I don’t recognize in? They even let her come up to the 33rd floor. Still, this woman looks a little familiar.

"Hello, I’m here to bring Xue Yang some lunch."

Lunch? For Boss Xue... Since when are delivery girls this beautiful? Wait a minute... A flash of inspiration struck Wu Xiaoya. Just then, someone nearby exclaimed in surprise, "The Lady Boss is here!"

Wu Xiaoya’s gaze followed the voice and saw Yu Kexin walking out from an office.

"The Lady Boss!" Wu Xiaoya’s eyes went wide. It all clicked into place, and she finally understood why the visitor had looked so familiar. Isn’t this the woman from the picture Boss Xue showed us? But she’s so much more beautiful in person! That’s why I didn’t recognize her right away.

Hearing the title "Lady Boss," everyone shot up from their desks. In moments, a crowd had surrounded Lin Xi.

"Is the Lady Boss here to bring the boss lunch? No wonder he turned us down when we asked if he wanted to eat with us. He was waiting for his beautiful lady to bring him food!"

Normally, they all called him Boss Xue, but the moment Lin Xi appeared, his title automatically upgraded to "the boss." Who could blame them? The Lady Boss was so stunning that only a title like that seemed fitting.

Hearing that the Lady Boss had arrived, everyone still in their offices rushed to the entrance.

"What Lady Boss?"

"Where is she?"

"Let me see what this ’King Kong Barbie’ actually looks like..."

Upon getting a clear look at the person by the entrance, everyone gasped. There stood a young woman in a white, knee-length dress. She held a thermal lunch box in her left hand and a potted pothos in her right. Her long hair was gathered in a high ponytail, and standing against the light, she looked as ethereal as a flower fairy freshly descended to the mortal realm.

King Kong? Barbie? This person?

Hearing the commotion, Xue Yang put down his phone and walked out of his office. He saw Lin Xi standing at the entrance, holding a thermal lunch box and a potted plant, surrounded by a stunned crowd.

"Xue Yang~" Feeling a bit overwhelmed, Lin Xi’s eyes instantly lit up the moment she caught sight of him.

Even after Xue Yang appeared, the crowd remained frozen, unable to react.

"What’s wrong with them?" Lin Xi asked, gesturing toward the petrified employees.

Xue Yang took the lunch box and the plant from her hands. "It’s nothing. Come into my office first. They’ll snap out of it on their own in a bit."

"Oh." Lin Xi followed him into his office.

Only after the door to Xue Yang’s office clicked shut did the crowd slowly begin to stir.

"Hold on... who was it this morning that called the Lady Boss a ’King Kong Barbie’? And here I was, wasting my sympathy on the boss. Turns out we’re the ones who need sympathy!"

"I need sympathy too."

"Me as well."

"And me."

Feng Jiajun silently returned to his seat, at a loss for words. Why do all the beautiful women flock to Xue Yang?

"Hey, doesn’t the Lady Boss look a little familiar to you guys?" someone asked.

"You think so? Or do you just think all pretty girls look familiar?"

"No, I seriously think she looks familiar."

Not bothering to argue, Feng Jiajun started searching online for proof. I’m sure she looks familiar. I felt that way when I saw her picture before, and now that I’ve seen her in person, I’m even more certain.
