Rejected by the Campus Belle, I Find My True Love-Chapter 376 - 374: Is Xue Yang’s Luck Really That Good?

Chapter 376: Chapter 374: Is Xue Yang’s Luck Really That Good?

Unfortunately, Feng Jiajun searched online for a long time but couldn’t find anything.

I’m sure I’ve seen her somewhere before.

After much deliberation, Feng Jiajun decided to message his good friend, Zhang Caide.

"Caide, are you there?"

A few seconds later, Zhang Caide replied, "Barring any unforeseen accidents, I plan to be around for the next few decades."

"Caide, I’m not kidding."

"Neither am I."

"Do you remember if we’ve ever talked about beautiful women?"

"We were together for three years in junior high and four years in college. What do you think? As two normal guys who’ve been friends for seven years, do you think it’s normal if we *haven’t* talked about beautiful women?"

Zhang Caide had no idea what was wrong with Feng Jia Jun, who was asking all these bizarre questions. Has all this overtime finally fried his brain? He knew Feng Jia Jun’s company was doing better and better. Their game, King’s Game, was becoming a dark horse in the industry and even had the potential to surpass *League of Legends*. The latter’s advantage was its long market presence and large base of hardcore players, making it difficult to beat for now. But compared to other games on the market, King’s Game was miles ahead. Naturally, Jia Jun’s salary had risen with the company’s success. He used to think the gap between them wouldn’t be that big after graduation, but now that Feng Jia Jun had chosen the right path, the difference was stark. While he was still struggling through a legal internship, Jia Jun was already a veteran figure at a gaming company. It would be a lie to say he didn’t feel the gap between them.

Feng Jia Jun scratched his head. His friend was right. They had been classmates since junior high and both went to Yanbei University. Even with different majors, they’d spent four years of college together. It would be absurd if they’d never talked about beautiful women.

"What I wanted to ask was whether we’ve ever discussed a particularly controversial beautiful woman."

"What’s this about? Did you run into a gorgeous woman and now you’re looking for an excuse to hit on her? Take it from your bro, that approach is just lame."

"I did meet a beautiful woman, but I’m not trying to hit on her. I just feel like she’s incredibly familiar, but for the life of me, I can’t remember where I’ve seen her. That’s why I’m asking."

Zhang Caide casually replied, "If you’re talking about controversial, then it’d have to be last year when we discussed the disappearance of the Lin Corporation’s heiress."

A beautiful heiress to a fortune goes missing... He had even used his professional legal knowledge to give Jia Jun a simple analysis of the situation. Not that such a windfall would ever land on my doorstep. Later, they heard the Lin Corporation heiress had returned home on her own, and the missing person notices were pulled from all major media outlets.

"Caide, do you have a picture from the Lin Corporation’s missing person notice last year?"

A voice in Feng Jia Jun’s head was screaming, but without evidence, he couldn’t be certain. He was desperate for proof to confirm his suspicion.

"What for?"

"Nothing, I just want to see it again."

"She’s already home, so the notice is worthless. It’s useless even if you see it. Nobody can look at a hundred-million-yuan reward and not be tempted."

"That’s not what I mean. I just want to look at it."

"I didn’t save it."

"Alright then."

A prominent family like the Lin Corporation would never release photos of their members lightly; last year’s missing person notice was an exception. A hundred-million-yuan reward was certainly tempting, but everyone knew their primary goal was to ensure her safe return. Anyone who saw the notice and brought her back safely wouldn’t face any trouble and would even get a huge sum of money—it was a no-brainer. Afterward, once she was home, all traces of the notice were naturally erased. To avoid any potential trouble, he obviously hadn’t kept a copy of it.

Zhang Caide stared at the chat window, then typed, "Don’t tell me you saw the Lin Corporation’s heiress."

"Maybe. Anyway, I gotta go. Our lady boss came to the studio today, and everyone’s trying to get the boss to treat us to dinner. I’ll be back late tonight, so remember not to bolt the door."

Lately, they had moved out of the school dorms for convenience. Instead of living at home, he and a few other guys rented an apartment together off-campus. Feng Jia Jun’s overtime was a regular occurrence, so he frequently had to ask Zhang Caide to leave the door for him.

"Okay."

Suddenly, Zhang Caide realized something. Wait a minute... isn’t Feng Jia Jun’s "lady boss" Xue Yang’s girlfriend?

To confirm his suspicion, he sent another message. "Jia Jun, the beautiful woman you just mentioned... don’t tell me she’s your lady boss?"

"You guessed it."

"..."

It’s really her.

The chat with Feng Jia Jun completely derailed Zhang Caide’s train of thought. That Xue Yang is just too uncanny. If even Jia Jun is suspicious, then it’s almost certainly true. No wonder Xue Yang became successful so easily—this must be the reason. Is his luck really that good? First, the campus belle couldn’t forget him, and now he has the Lin Corporation’s heiress silently backing him? Anyone would think the same thing after hearing their friend’s girlfriend is the Lin heiress. After all, a connection with the Lin Corporation is a surefire way to climb the social ladder. Still, only those involved know the real story. Xue Yang’s success is undoubtedly linked to the Lin Corporation now, but if he weren’t exceptional on his own, all the resources in the world would be useless.

「...」

In Xue Yang’s office, he opened the insulated lunchbox and saw twice the usual amount of food. "Xiao Xi, haven’t you eaten yet?" he asked.

Lin Xi was busy placing the devil’s ivy plant next to his computer, positioning it so he could look up from work and see the gift she had given him. Hearing his question, she turned and said, "Oh! I overslept and didn’t have time to eat, so I brought it here to have with you. Auntie Zhong taught me how to make these dishes—they’re all your favorites! My cooking is probably nowhere near as good as hers, but I’ll keep practicing."

No wonder it smelled so familiar. Madam Zhong must have taught her personally. A wave of indescribable emotion washed over Xue Yang.

"Thank you, Xiao Xi. But don’t do this again. Eating this late is bad for your stomach."

"You know it’s bad for your stomach, so why don’t *you* eat on time?"

Xue Yang replied sternly, "Stop fooling around."

"I’m not fooling around!"

"Come here and eat."

"Coming!"

Lin Xi skipped over to his side. Xue Yang seized the opportunity, pulling her down to sit on his lap. It was the first time she had ever sat there, and her face flushed red. She instinctively tried to stand, but a large, warm hand clamped around her waist, holding her in place.

"Don’t move. We’ll eat like this."
