Dashing Student-Chapter 558: Rivals Meet

The gazes of the crowd, like being led by invisible silken threads, shuttled back and forth between Ma Ye, Su Yue, and Chen Nan.

At the same time.

The private room buzzed like a swarm of bees, with discussions erupting one after another.

Everyone whispered to each other, their eyes sparkling with excitement and curiosity, much like sharp hunters sensing that an intriguing show was about to begin.

Although Su Yue had a boyfriend now, based on their understanding of Ma Ye, he was doomed not to let matters rest easily today.

For sure, there was going to be quite the spectacle!

Ma Ye appeared to stand aloof from the situation, deaf to the reactions of those around him.

His gaze stuck to Su Yue, swirling with complex emotions like a vortex.

There was the uncontrollable joy of reuniting with an old love, and even more so the jealousy and dissatisfaction that sprouted in his heart upon seeing Su Yue and Chen Nan so close together.

He slightly lifted his chin, keeping his back straight as an arrow, striding with an air of confidence that betrayed arrogance, approaching Su Yue step by step.

"Su Yue, long time no see," Ma Ye spoke up, his voice low and magnetic: "I heard you were having a gathering here; I’ve been thinking about you and couldn’t help but come to see you."

As he spoke, the corners of his mouth lifted slightly, pulling out a smile he believed to be utterly charming and capable of winning everyone over.

In truth, Ma Ye’s appearance was not bad, definitely on the level of a handsome guy, and with his family background, he was never short of admirers.

But it was only Su Yue that he couldn’t forget.

Because she was the only woman he actively pursued and was rejected by.

This had become an obsession in his heart!

Su Yue furrowed her brows slightly, subconsciously leaning closer to Chen Nan’s side, her voice cold as ice as she responded, "Why would you be thinking of me? Do you really think I would change my mind and be with you again?"

Upon these words.

The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became heavy.

Ma Ye wasn’t angry. His gaze casually fell on Chen Nan, his eyes unabashedly flashing with disdain, as if looking at a ludicrous jester.

He sized up Chen Nan from head to toe, his eyes filled with disgust, as if his gaze could burn holes in Chen Nan’s Daoist robe.

Following that, the corners of his mouth curled up with a trace of a cold smile, his voice laden with mockery: "Su Yue, you really do broaden my horizons!"

"Leaving aside so many outstanding people and instead choosing a boy that dresses like a charlatan as a boyfriend."

"What is it, were you beguiled by his mumbo jumbo tricks?"

"Or are you planning to follow him to live a life of eating chaff and with no fixed abode?"

"What can he give you?"

"He probably can’t even afford a decent pair of high heels for you, let alone grant you a life of wealth and carefreeness like I can."

"Just look at his shabby appearance, standing here he’s simply a joke, not of the same world as us at all."

His words were like sharp blades, edged with biting sarcasm.

As these words came out, the surrounding crowd stirred as if a stone had been cast into a placid lake.

Chen Nan’s mouth curved into a faint smile, speaking unhurriedly, "Emotions, how can they be measured by material possessions?"

"You think just because you’re rich, everyone has to revolve around you?"

"Don’t be so naive, Su Yue is not that kind of materialistic woman; you have no clue what she really wants."

Ma Ye was completely enraged by Chen Nan’s indifferent yet firm attitude. He stepped forward aggressively and spat out, "Kid, do you even know who I am?"

With a meaningful smile on his face, Chen Nan calmly met Ma Ye’s gaze, his tone laced with mockery as he said slowly, "Oh? I am a bit curious, exactly which ’immortal’ are you supposed to be?"

His eyes were clear and bright, seemingly fearless in the face of Ma Ye’s threats, his composed demeanor suggesting that the conflict at hand was but a trivial farce to him.

At these words, a flash of annoyance crossed Ma Ye’s face and he snorted disdainfully, his nostrils flaring, his eyes full of arrogance and contempt as he declared loudly, "Listen up, I am the sole heir to the Provincial City’s Ma Family!"

His voice rang high and piercing through the private room, echoing as if to proclaim his supreme status to everyone present.

As soon as he finished, the room plunged into dead silence.

Everyone stood as if under an immobilization spell, their expressions frozen, their eyes filled with shock and fear.

Then, they all inhaled sharply, the collective gasps sounding like a cold wind sweeping through.

The previously noisy room was now so quiet you could hear a pin drop, and everyone could clearly hear their own hearts beating wildly.

Although people knew Ma Ye came from a wealthy background and was a bona fide second-generation rich kid, none had anticipated that his family background would be so astounding.

Now, hearing that he was the sole heir of one of Provincial City’s top eight families, everyone felt a numbness on their scalp, a chill running from their feet to their hearts, causing goosebumps to involuntarily arise all over their bodies.

It’s known, the Ma Family holds a pivotal position in Provincial City, a towering mountain that inspires fear and reverence.

They control hundreds of billions in assets and wield immense influence in business, politics, and many other fields, virtually omnipotent.

With this thought in mind.

A nameless fear swelled within everyone’s hearts, and the way they looked at Ma Ye was now tinted with both respect and caution.

Even in Su Yue’s eyes, a hint of undisguisable shock surfaced; she had never imagined that Ma Ye would be the Ma Family’s sole heir.

Being from Provincial City, she naturally knew about the Ma Family’s influence.

For a moment.

She felt a surge of intense panic and regretted bringing Chen Nan to the class reunion.

If not for this, they wouldn’t have gotten into a conflict with Ma Ye.

Chen Nan picked up his cup and took a sip of tea, a scornful smile crossing his face: "A good-for-nothing who lives off his family’s power and waits for death, why be proud of that?"

Upon hearing this.

Everyone shivered involuntarily, looking at Chen Nan with eyes filled with astonishment; clearly, they did not expect such contempt from Chen Nan towards Ma Ye after he revealed his identity.

Though what Chen Nan said was the truth, speaking such words could very well bring about dire consequences!

Contrary to expectations, Ma Ye did not get angry; instead, a charming curve appeared on his face: "It’s true that many rich young masters are ignorant and lazy, but I am not the useless person people think I am."

"After graduating from university, I established my own financial company. Although it’s only been five years since its establishment, the company’s assets have reached five billion."

"Starting from scratch and accumulating assets of five billion in five years, does that make me useless?"
