School Beauty's Invincible Martial Expert

Chapter 296: Chapter 296: Extraordinary Moves

Lan Yudie gave Xiao Han a glance, always feeling that this guy was somewhat secretive. After the recent events, Lan Yudie found that her understanding of Xiao Han hadn’t deepened, but instead grew more unfamiliar, which made her somewhat lost. Xiao Han seemed to carry a mystery about him or perhaps some kind of secret.

“What exactly are you hiding from me?” Lan Yudie, clutching Xiao Han’s arm, said, “That money, Mo Shaocong, and your entrepreneurship, is it all true, or is it false?!”

“I…” Xiao Han suddenly felt a headache coming on knowing that once such matters were exposed, they would inevitably bring about unnecessary trouble, and the trouble was already here. Xiao Han felt quite helpless, he lowered his head, leaned close to Lan Yudie’s ear, and breathed out, “Half true, half false. The entrepreneurship is real, but it failed; the money involved wasn’t mine, it belonged to others. As for me and Mo Shaocong, you will find out soon.”

“Uh…” Lan Yudie looked at Xiao Han, stupefied. Xiao Han blinked at her. It seemed that there was a mysterious thing hidden deep within him. And she was left outside of this mysterious veil, unable to see what it really was. Lan Yudie exhaled a heavy breath, saying, “Well, as long as you do nothing illegal or disorderly, I have no right to manage you. Whether it’s entrepreneurship or being worth millions, those are good things, aren’t they?”

Lan Yudie felt a faint loss; Xiao Han had hidden some things from her. Lan Yudie felt that this was the most heartbreaking, the most saddening part. If they couldn’t even be open about basic information, how could they talk about love?

“Wow, so Mo Shaocong was that impressive?”

Someone looked up information on the computer and discovered that Mo Shaocong really was a big deal. He had even been on Central Television’s financial interview and appeared on a variety show on Hunan Satellite TV. In short, Mo Shaocong was not only handsome but also wealthy, with a strong background, and had numerous young girls screaming for him.

A gasp went through the crowd.

“Is Mo Shaocong really going to come?” someone asked in surprise.

“He looks very handsome in photos; I wonder what he looks like in person,” another person said.

At this moment, someone quickly said, “You actually don’t know Mo Shaocong?”

“Is it strange not to know him?” the person curiously asked.

“Tsk tsk, just by looking at you, I know you’re someone who doesn’t pay attention to high society!” the speaker chuckled and then said, “Mo Shaocong is the Wang Sicong of our provincial city. Who is Wang Sicong? He’s the son of China’s richest man. Mo Shaocong is similar. Though not the son of the richest man, the Mo Family’s wealth is absolutely among the top five in the provincial city. Adding to that, Mo Shaocong is formidable in business at a young age, reportedly earning over a billion for his family in a year. However, he has always been looking for a chance to be recognized on his own merits.”

“Why?” the crowd asked curiously.

“Hehe…” The man chuckled, saying, “Because Mo Shaocong has always been considered to make his money by leveraging his family’s connections, so many people do not recognize his abilities, but rather just think he has an impressive background.”

“No wonder!” someone nodded.

However, someone else said, “Even so, he is still impressive. If it were any of us here, who could use such connections to make a billion?”

“That’s true!” the crowd nodded, saying, “With that kind of background, I might not be able to make that much money either.”

“Exactly,” others nodded in agreement.

Xiao Han and Lan Yudie stood aside.

“Xiao Han, what on earth are you playing at!” Lan Yudie felt a bit uneasy inside, as she felt uncertain. After all, she had absolutely no previous knowledge of this. Thus, her heart hung suspended, filled with unease and discomfort.

“Don’t worry, I definitely won’t embarrass you,” Xiao Han chuckled.

“But you could have discussed it with me,” Lan Yudie glared at Xiao Han, clearly displeased, and said, “You jerk, now I feel so anxious.”

“Xiao Yu, don’t worry, nothing will go wrong,” Xiao Han reassured her.

Lan Yudie blushed, lowering her head; her cheeks turned crimson. Xiao Han had used such an intimate nickname for her, and she didn’t mind it at all. When Liu Wendong had called her Xiao Yu earlier, she had felt a bit of resentment.

However, Lan Yudie didn’t want to reject Xiao Han, even though she wasn’t used to this nickname from him, but she secretly liked it very much. Most importantly, Xiao Han was her boyfriend now, and by normal thinking, it was natural for him to call her that way.

In the private room, the dishes were all served. Everyone sat down together.

“Xiao Han, will Mo Shaocong come at all?” someone asked impatiently. “It’s been over ten minutes already, could it be that Mo Shaocong is walking here?”@@novelbin@@

“Haha…” Everyone burst out laughing.

If Mo Shaocong were to walk over, it would have been laughable.

“Don’t worry, he’ll arrive soon,” Xiao Han said with a smile.

As everyone was talking, someone pushed open the door of the private room and a familiar figure walked in. Dressed in a beige suit, his hair meticulously styled, he stood at a height of 1.78 meters with a well-proportioned physique. Everyone immediately recognized him as Mo Shaocong.

“Who’s looking for me?” Mo Shaocong entered with a chuckle.

“Young Master Mo,” Xiao Han immediately stood up to greet him.

“Brother Xiao!” Mo Shaocong laughed heartily, “Didn’t you say you were treating today? What is this…”

“Oh, it’s my girlfriend’s class reunion. As the host, I’m naturally the one treating!” Xiao Han laughed, “You know I’m quite poor. I save where I can, so I could only invite Big Brother to join us for a meal, while also introducing these friends here!”

Mo Shaocong, being astute, instantly understood Xiao Han’s intention.

“Haha…” Mo Shaocong laughed heartily, “Interesting, calling yourself poor when you’re a millionaire? You can’t even bear to host me alone. Looks like I’ll have to host you alone tomorrow. By the way, where is your girlfriend?”

Xiao Han quickly pulled Lan Yudie to her feet, saying, “This is my girlfriend, a teacher at Shuimu University.”

“Yo, not bad!” Mo Shaocong’s eyes lit up as he smiled, “You sly dog, you managed to win over such a beautiful girl? And she’s a teacher at Shuimu University too. Impressive. It seems I still have a lot to learn from you in this respect!”

“You flatter me too much, Young Master Mo,” Xiao Han said, a hint of embarrassment on his face; he knew all too well the teasing behind Mo Shaocong’s gaze.

“Young Master Mo, hello,” Lan Yudie said, her face flushing. Standing here as Xiao Han’s girlfriend, she indeed felt somewhat out of her element, especially in front of Mo Shaocong, who seemed to be quite influential. And while Lan Yudie was merely from the working class and had never interacted with high society, the closest person to that in her life was Qin Jun. However, she had always considered Qin Jun solely as a good friend, never as someone from the upper echelons of society.

“Hmm,” Mo Shaocong smiled lightly and said, “Xiao Han is my brother; we’ve sworn an oath to that. I’m older, so I’m sort of his elder brother. It’s only right to give a gift when meeting my brother’s wife for the first time.”

“Big Brother Mo, there’s no need,” Xiao Han quickly interjected.

“What do you mean, no need?” Mo Shaocong glanced at Xiao Han, then said, “Do you still regard me as your elder brother?”

“I…” Xiao Han was taken aback.

Mo Shaocong then took off the pure white bracelet from his wrist and said, “This is a top-grade ivory bracelet I brought back from South Africa last time. It’s not just any ivory; this is carved from the teeth of the Elephant King. Although it’s not very expensive, it’s significantly meaningful. It represents a battle trophy from a hunt I personally conducted—it’s a part of my life’s achievements. I’ll give it to my brother’s wife. I hope you like it!”

Lan Yudie was immediately taken with the bracelet; it was beautiful, pure white like jade, and even more stunning than jade. It was incredibly dazzling and exciting. However, Lan Yudie felt a bit embarrassed and said, “This… this seems a bit much?”

“What’s too much?” Mo Shaocong replied with an easy smile, then said, “Although it’s not very expensive, it has a significant meaning. I hope you like it!”

“No, this is too valuable,” Lan Yudie said awkwardly. “I’ve heard… ivory is more expensive than gold, and since this ivory is from the Elephant King, it must be even more valuable. I can’t accept such a valuable gift.”

“Whether you accept it or not isn’t up to you,” Mo Shaocong laughed, then said, “Xiao Han, it’s up to you!”

“Since Big Brother is being so generous, I naturally can’t be ungracious,” Xiao Han laughed, then said, “Xiao Yu, just accept it, it’s Big Brother’s kind intention.”

“Oh!” Seeing Xiao Han speak up, Lan Yudie felt she couldn’t say much else and quietly accepted the ivory bracelet. Touching it, the ivory beads felt warm and comfortable. Lan Yudie quickly said, “Thank you, Young Master Mo.”

“You can call me Big Brother Mo, just like Xiao Han. Calling me Young Master Mo makes it seem distant,” Mo Shaocong said with a slight smile.

Liu Wendong had been skeptical ever since he saw Mo Shaocong, because the image on television and the media photos did not quite match the man in person. Thus, he immediately suspected the man similar to Mo Shaocong might just be an actor invited by Xiao Han.

Therefore, Liu Wendong had been silent all along.

It was not until Mo Shaocong gifted Lan Yudie the ivory bracelet that Liu Wendong finally spoke up, “Young Master Mo, I also have a strand of top-grade ivory bracelets, but they seem somewhat different from yours! Could you show me what’s different about yours and mine?”

Mo Shaocong glanced at Liu Wendong and said, “The item isn’t mine anymore; asking me won’t be of any use!”
