"Na Na, do you know that Jiang Chen?"
The man in a tuxedo stood up next to the woman and spoke, turning his head to glance at Jiang Chen with a hint of hostility in his eyes.
"I know him, but... I don't know if he remembers me!"
Xiao Yunna spoke softly.
Fang Mingzhong paused for a moment, and surprise appeared in his eyes.
He knew Xiao Yunna's identity, which was why he relentlessly pursued her. Now, seeing her almost swayed by his efforts, a young man whom Xiao Yunna admired appeared unexpectedly, giving Fang Mingzhong a sense of crisis!
Upon hearing Xiao Yunna's words, Fang Mingzhong couldn't help but wonder. Could someone whose existence Xiao Yunna might forget be that remarkable, or is it that he is unaware of Xiao Yunna's status?
Jiang Chen seemed to notice Xiao Yunna's gaze, turned his head to look at her, and nodded with a light smile.
Xiao Yunna felt a joy in her heart, and a blush appeared on her face.
Fang Mingzhong's face immediately turned cold, with a chilling gleam in his eyes!
"What? A sweetheart?"
Ye Jingyi noticed Xiao Yunna's reaction from a distance, leaned over to Jiang Chen's ear, and spoke softly.
Jiang Chen was slightly surprised, then laughed and glanced at Ye Jingyi: "What are you talking about? She's just a classmate!"
"Oh? I do know Xiao Yunna is very fond of someone. If you want to develop that, it should be easy," Yè Yùwǎn teased along.
"I..." Jiang Chen was momentarily choked, rolled his eyes, didn't respond, and moved over to Lou Qiangqiang and several others.
Ye Jingyi and the other two women exchanged a glance and laughed softly, then quietly followed him.
"Ling'er, have you forgotten the rules?" Jiang Chen looked sternly at Fu Ling'er.
Xu Changjiang was merely a secular person, but Fu Ling'er was a strong figure in the Venerable Realm. Even a hint of inner strength out of anger was not something Xu Changjiang could handle. Martial artists must not casually engage with secular people, which is the rule of the Martial Dao World!
"Big brother, it wasn't me... It's just that he was too much of a jerk!" Fu Ling'er said with some grievance.
Jiang Chen smiled slightly, reached out to stroke Fu Ling'er's hair: "Enough, everyone's watching, keep it ladylike!"
Fu Ling'er turned to glance around and realized everyone in the hall was staring at them. She then glared angrily at Xu Changjiang, puffed up with anger, and sat down.
"Are you Lou Qiangqiang and Fu Ling'er's big brother, the strongest freshman Jiang Chen?" Xu Changjiang scrutinized Jiang Chen with suspicious eyes.
Jiang Chen ignored Xu Changjiang, smiled at Lou Qiangqiang and Fu Ling'er: "Give a good performance, we're all here to support you; don't let us down!"
"We won't, big brother, sisters-in-law, you'll see!" Lou Qiangqiang raised his head playfully and spoke.
Jiang Chen smiled faintly, waved at them, and headed towards the graduates' section with Ye Jingyi and the other two women.
In the graduates' section, there were four empty seats. Next to them was Gong Yue, a senior who had graduated a year ago.
"Ahem, some interruptions happened just now. Please don't mind. Next, let's welcome the first group of performers to the stage!"
On stage, Chen Sheng coughed, bringing back everyone's attention, and quickly ended the opening speech with a gloomy face before stepping off the stage.
"Brother-in-law, sister, Jingyi, Yu Wan, come sit quickly."
In the graduates' section, Gong Yue smiled warmly and greeted Jiang Chen and the others, pointing to the empty seats next to her.
"Thanks!"
Jiang Chen expressed his gratitude, allowing the three women to walk in first, while he sat on the aisle seat.
Gong Lin sat next to Gong Yue, followed by Ye Jingyi, and then Yè Yùwǎn and Jiang Chen.
Today was Yè Yùwǎn's graduation ceremony, and Jiang Chen played a supporting role to Yè Yùwǎn.
"Hello, Mr. Jiang!"
Right as the four sat down, a gentle voice came from behind.
Jiang Chen turned to take a look and smiled lightly: "Xiao Yunna, what's up? Suddenly so formal? Just call me Jiang Chen!"
"Alright!"
Xiao Yunna smiled sweetly and nodded eagerly.
Since the conflict between Xiao Anjun and Jiang Chen, Xiao Yunna hadn't seen Jiang Chen. Hearing about him again was during the recent Sedney incident, when Xiao Yunna realized they no longer belonged to the same world.
Upon seeing Jiang Chen again, a mix of emotions resurfaced, coupled with a bit of intimidation, as Jiang Chen's status had drastically changed. She worried that greeting him might seem presumptuous. Yet, unexpectedly, Jiang Chen remained unchanged and hadn't grown arrogant due to his status.
Fang Mingzhong glanced at Xiao Yunna, and a surge of anger brewed within him. From his memory, Xiao Yunna had never shown him such a sweet smile!
"Jiang Chen, you should be in the same graduating class as Na Na and Yè Yùwǎn, right? Why didn't I see your name on the graduate list?" Fang Mingzhong spoke with a hint of mockery: "I remember you once hit an instructor, and after that, disappeared from school not long after. Were you expelled from school?"
Jiang Chen was slightly stunned and turned to look at Fang Mingzhong, a hint of doubt in his eyes: "Do I know you?"
Yè Yùwǎn and the other three women and Gong Yue also turned their heads to look at Fang Mingzhong.
"Fang Mingzhong, what's wrong with you?" Xiao Yunna frowned and gave Fang Mingzhong a disapproving look.
Although Jiang Chen was already renowned worldwide, only major leaders and rulers of significant factions knew him. Even in TV news, Jiang Chen's photo had never been aired, so the average person didn't know what Jiang Chen looked like. Teachers and students in Dingjing wouldn't think their school's rising star Jiang Chen was the same person who quelled the Sedney riot.
And while everyone knew Jiang Chen was Yè Yùwǎn's boyfriend, few knew she was the girlfriend of the chairman of Yi Chen, Longteng, and Jiuzhou's three major groups. Most only knew Jiang Chen was once Yè Yùwǎn's manager and the creator of her songs!
Xiao Yunna's reprimand further stirred Fang Mingzhong's anger. He ignored Xiao Yunna and haughtily introduced himself to Jiang Chen, "I'm the former Vice President of the Student Council, the son of the Chairman of Changlong Real Estate, Fang Mingzhong."
Even though Yè Yùwǎn was a superstar, to a wealthy son like Fang Mingzhong, fame wasn't intimidating.
"Changlong Real Estate? Never heard of it."
Jiang Chen muttered, turned back to the stage, and didn't engage Fang Mingzhong further.
At his level, there's no need to argue with a worldly rich kid.
Ye Jingyi and the other three women chuckled and didn't regard Fang Mingzhong seriously.
Fang Mingzhong's face changed, a cold glint flashed in his eyes, and just as he was about to speak, a voice called out.
"Mingzhong, come with me!"
Fang Mingzhong turned his head and saw Chen Sheng in the hallway.
With a slight nod, Fang Mingzhong got up and followed Chen Sheng out of the hall.
At the back of the hall, a slender, long-limbed man glanced at Jiang Chen and the others, then quietly slipped out through the back door.
