Chapter 2562: He Came  

The moment Xu Min finished speaking, the atmosphere became dead silent.

The image of Ning Yuan with a bald old man with a big belly appeared in the minds of many students.

It was blinding!

On the other hand, Ning Yuan’s expression did not change much. She hung up on Ye Yu, not wanting him to hear those annoying words.

Her pretty eyes glanced at Xu Min. “You’re so good at twisting the facts and spouting nonsense. Why can’t you get Lu Ran’s heart?” With that said, she laughed mockingly. “My financier is so capable. Aren’t you afraid of being arrested like Lu Ran?”

Xu Min’s expression changed and she pointed a trembling finger at Ning Yuan. “Y-Y-You…”

Ning Yuan really did not want to ruin the wedding atmosphere of the couple. She stood up from the table and looked at Qin Ming behind her. “If I’m here, I’m afraid we won’t be able to have this meal today. I wish you and Zhou Ting a happy marriage!”

Ning Yuan took her bag and left.

Qin Ming wanted to ask Ning Yuan to stay, but he was too embarrassed to say anything. He glared at Xu Min, who had ruined the atmosphere. “I really shouldn’t have invited you over!”

Xu Min was furious when she saw Qin Ming defending Ning Yuan. “Qin Ming, don’t think that I don’t know that you had a crush on Ning Yuan in junior high!”

When the bride, Zhou Ting, heard this, she scolded Xu Min angrily, “If you speak nonsense again, get out!”

“All of you, protect Ning Yuan. She’s just a vixen who dumped Lu Ran and hooked up with a rich man!”

Hearing Xu Min’s words, the classmates who were not very close to Ning Yuan in the past believed her words.

“I saw Ning Yuan’s trending topic on Weibo a while ago. She said that she was pregnant, then said that it was a rumor.”

“For a young girl like her to be able to stand firm in the capital, she must really have a backer!”

“It’s indeed a little too much to dump Lu Ran in order to climb up!”

Ning Yuan had already walked out of the hotel’s banquet hall and did not hear the students’ discussion.

When she was taking the elevator downstairs, her phone rang again.

Seeing that it was a call, Ning Yuan rejected it.

After getting out of the elevator, she lowered her eyes and walked out.

“Miss Ning.” Hearing Ye Yu’s driver’s voice, Ning Yuan looked up in disbelief.

A dark-colored Bentley was parked in front of the hotel. The driver was standing by the door, looking at her with a smile.

Ning Yuan blinked, thinking that she was hallucinating.

She glanced at the luxurious sedan with dark tinted windows and her heart suddenly beat faster.

Was Ye Yu in the car too?

Ning Yuan took a deep breath. “Your Highness…”

As if seeing through Ning Yuan’s thoughts, the driver did not keep her in suspense and said to her gently, “His Highness came back a day earlier. When he found out that you had returned to Wutong Town, he asked me to drive over in the morning.”

So, he was already at the hotel entrance when he called her?

Ning Yuan felt a lump in her throat and emotions surged in her heart. It was like a small boat floating on the sea suddenly having a direction to sail in.

Ning Yuan was about to get into the car when Qin Ming’s voice sounded behind her. “Ning Yuan.”

Ning Yuan turned back and looked at Qin Ming, who was striding toward her.

“I’ve made you suffer today. If there’s a gathering next time, I won’t invite Xu Min.”

Ning Yuan smiled. “I’m fine. However, my arrival made your wedding unhappy. I want to apologize to you.”

Qin Ming sighed and was about to say something when Xu Min’s voice trailed over. “Look, am I right? Ning Yuan’s financier came to fetch her. Although he’s not bald, he looks old enough to be her father, right?”

Xu Min and several middle school classmates came out.

There were also many people leaning against the railing of the banquet hall, watching the scene downstairs.

Qin Ming turned around and glared at Xu Min. “Are you done?”

“Qin Ming, I’m not fooling around. I want you to see the true colors of this vixen. As long as she doesn’t let her financier release Lu Ran, I won’t let it go!”

Xu Min walked in front of Ning Yuan and pointed at her nose. “Do you dare say that you don’t know this middle-aged man? Isn’t this luxurious car here to pick you up?”

Ning Yuan looked at Xu Min, who had pointed at her time and time again, and her face turned cold. She raised her hand and slapped Xu Min.

The loud slap made the surrounding students freeze for a few seconds.

Ning Yuan looked at Xu Min coldly. Her gaze was not sharp, but Xu Min could not react for a while. “Do you want me to mention that you tried to snatch Lu Ran from me back then and asked him to come to this hotel? He did not like you at that time. Do you think he will like you after coming out of the police station?”

“But a scumbag like him is quite compatible with you. If you have time, why don’t you go find Ning Shiyu and see how she poached Lu Ran from me!”

Xu Min’s expression changed. “Ning Yuan, what right do you have to scold Lu Ran for being a scumbag? Do you think this old man you’re looking for is a good person? At this age, even if he’s not married and has no children, aren’t you still a mistress?”

The driver, who was the scapegoat, reacted and was about to explain when the door was pushed open.

A tall and cold figure got out of the car.

The man was wearing an exquisite black shirt and pants. His black leather shoes and perfectly ironed pants were the first to be exposed to the public. Before she could see his face, she could feel a strong and fierce aura that was not something an ordinary person could have.

“What mistress?”

Ning Yuan’s back was facing the car door. Hearing Ye Yu’s deep and cold voice, she quickly turned around. Seeing that he had gotten out of the car, she subconsciously did not want him to be exposed in front of everyone. She took a step forward and shook her head at him, gesturing for him to get back into the car.

The man did not seem to hear her and his face, which was against the light, was gradually exposed to everyone.

A handsome and well-defined face, exquisite facial features, tall figure, strong and fierce aura… Who else could it be but the Second Prince that they could only see on TV?

The students around were in disbelief.

Xu Min was also speechless for a while. However, she quickly comforted herself that the Second Prince and Ning Yuan’s relationship was definitely not what she had imagined.

Ning Yuan was not worthy at all.

But the next second, Xu Min saw Ye Yu’s slender and well-defined hand on Ning Yuan’s slender shoulder.

His dark and narrow eyes swept towards Xu Min like a sharp sword. “You’re saying that my woman is the third party?”

Ye Yu’s gaze was strong and sharp, with a strong oppression and deterrence that ordinary people could not withstand.

Xu Min’s throat seemed to be grabbed by an invisible hand. Her mouth opened and closed, but she could not say anything for a long time.

The moment Ning Yuan’s shoulders were held by Ye Yu, her eyes swelled with tears.

He was very close to her and she could smell the fresh and mature masculine scent on him, making her heart flutter and warm.
