Chapter 1086: The Negative News Caused by the Rich Second Generation

"It seems your country has really developed in recent years." Monica pointed to the laptop screen, which showed a Lamborghini parked in front of the mansion.

"It's said online that these are international students from your country. Now many people know that some people from your country buy luxury houses and sports cars as soon as they arrive. They're really rich."

Su Jin didn't reply. In this age of information overload, negative things always spread very quickly. As the saying goes, bad news travels fast.

These rich kids have indeed generated a lot of buzz, so any explanation or rebuttal is useless, since Monica is simply stating the facts.

Girls generally love gossip, and Monica was no exception. She leaned close to Su Jin and asked, "I heard that Bian Yulin's father is said to have a net worth of hundreds of billions in your country?"

Su Jin did not deny it: "Some media outlets have indeed written that, but as you know, truly wealthy people never disclose their wealth. What we can see are just speculations from some organizations."

Monica disagreed with Su Jin's statement, saying with certainty, "I think it's true. He often throws parties and supposedly often invites Hollywood stars, though it seems there aren't any tonight. But I heard some Chinese students from USC will be there too."

Su Jin had no interest in the so-called circle of rich second-generation international students, but since she had promised Monica to go with her, there was no harm in going and seeing for herself. After all, some things could only be known to be true or false when seen with one's own eyes.

When the two arrived at the dormitory building, Maowa was already there.

He was dressed very simply tonight, in a light gray t-shirt and jeans, looking quite ordinary.

His eyes lit up the moment he saw Su Jin.

Su Jin walked up to him and asked, "Have you been waiting long?"

Maowa waved his phone: "I've only been here a few minutes."

Monica scrutinized Maowa with a look of judgment in her eyes. She had often heard Su Jin mention this boy to her, but this was the first time she had met him in person, and he didn't seem particularly handsome.

Mao Wa greeted Monica politely, and Monica responded in kind.

The taxi was called by Maowa. After the three of them got in, they drove towards the foot of Santa Monica Mountain. After about twenty minutes, they arrived at their destination.

After Su Jin got out of the car, she realized that the mansion in front of her was a typical California-style building with white exterior walls and huge floor-to-ceiling windows reflecting the sunset.

The yard was filled with palm trees and flowers, and the swimming pool inside was as big as a small lake. The entrance was filled with all kinds of luxury cars, most of which were sports cars, making it feel like a small luxury car show.

Su Jin sighed inwardly. It seemed that what was said online was not unfounded.

Monica excitedly pulled Su Jin inside, and Maowa followed behind them.

The tall, spacious hall was dimly lit, with soft music playing everywhere. Groups of young people dressed in light clothing carried various drinks.

Monica disappeared in the blink of an eye; she probably ran into someone she knew.

Su Jin had only been in the United States for a short time, and among the people present were only a few faces she had occasionally seen at school, but she had never spoken to these people before.

At this moment, Maowa suddenly said apologetically, "Excuse me, I need to go to the restroom."

"Okay, I'll wait for you."

Su Jin stood alone in the corner, curiously watching the various people in the hall. At this moment, a young man walked in, dressed in fine clothes, his wristwatch flashing occasionally under the light.

"New here? I don't think I've seen you before?" The man sized up Su Jin, his gaze carrying a hint of scrutiny.

Although Su Jin was dressed very appropriately, it wasn't a high-end brand, so the visitor could tell at a glance.

Although Su Jin was displeased, she still responded politely: "Hello, my name is Su Jin, I just arrived recently."

The visitor extended his hand: "Bian Yulin, this is my home."

Upon hearing this, Su Jin looked at him again, then gently shook his hand: "Hello!"

Bian Yulin asked casually, "What is Miss Su studying here?"

Comparative Literature.

This answer surprised Bian Yulin. He had originally thought that the girl in front of him, who seemed very comfortable, might be studying business or finance, but he never expected her to be studying such an unpopular major. Considering her style of dress, he had a plan in mind.

He nodded, his tone slightly condescending: "This major probably doesn't lead to good job prospects, right? Planning to stay and pursue a master's degree?"

Su Jin replied calmly and confidently, "I haven't decided yet."

Bian Yulin had already lost interest in Su Jin; he concluded that she was just an ordinary international student in the United States.

He looked away and said, "Excuse me, a friend of mine has arrived. Please excuse me."

Su Jin nodded and watched him leave. She wasn't stupid; she knew that the pleasantries they had exchanged earlier were just a test. Once he realized they weren't from the same circle, he naturally lost interest. She had heard Monica tell her a lot about the rules of these circles.

Just then, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly changed. The young people who had been chatting in small groups all turned their attention to the entrance hall.

Even Bian Yulin, who had just spoken to her, had a big smile on his face and quickly went to greet the newcomer, even looking somewhat eager. This made Su Jin a little curious about the newcomer.

What kind of person could make Bian Yulin, this arrogant rich second-generation, so subservient?

"Young Master Mai, you've finally arrived."

The man said casually, "I was delayed by a roadside checkpoint."

Bian Yulin personally led the way, guiding the visitor into the hall. Along the way, people kept greeting them, but the visitor only nodded slightly and did not stop walking.

As Su Jin was looking at it, Mao Wa returned to her side. Seeing her engrossed, he followed her gaze and asked, "What are you looking at?"

"Someone just arrived; they seem pretty powerful."

Maowa had already seen the person approaching and said "Oh".

Just then, the young man suddenly stopped. He saw Maowa and a girl standing in the corner.

He then abandoned the group of people surrounding him and strode towards Maowa.

"Ze Die, you're a rare guest!" Mai Shao changed his previous reserve and put on a warm smile.

Mao Wa smiled in response, but Mai Shao didn't seem to care at all and looked at Su Jin standing next to Mao Wa.

"Ze Die, is this your girlfriend?"

Mao Wa did not deny it: "Yes, friend."

Su Jin felt a surge of joy upon hearing this.

Mai Shunzhi had already extended his hand, his attitude very polite: "Hello, I am Mai Shunzhi."

Su Jin glanced at Maowa, and seeing him nod slightly, she extended her hand: "Hello, Su Jin!"

Mai Shunzhi originally wanted to stay and exchange a few pleasantries, but Maowa said, "Old Mai, go ahead and do your work. So many people are waiting for you!"

Mai Shunzhi looked at Maowa, then at Su Jin, and said knowingly, "I understand. I'll invite you to dinner another day, but you must bring your girlfriend along."

He left after he finished speaking, and the crowd swarmed around him again, but everyone could see that Young Master Mai's attitude towards the young man in the corner was unusual.

Bian Yulin stood there, stunned. He looked at Maowa and Su Jin with a complicated expression in his eyes. He thought about his attitude towards Su Jin just now and realized that he had made the mistake his father had always made of judging people by their appearance.
