Chapter 237 has another hidden story.
Luo Nan's eyes flickered slightly, the ripples in his eyes vanishing in an instant.
He had known this all along.
It's impossible to hide the fact that I work as a male model in Jade Kingdom within the industry.
By now, the news must have spread far and wide, and it may have even drifted back to the school by now.
I might even see some of my former classmates tonight.
Thinking of this, Luo Nan's eyes darkened again, and his heart felt as if it were being gripped by an invisible hand.
The sensational story of a wealthy young man reduced to working in entertainment venues to make a living is sure to appeal to many.
Especially those who were once defeated by him, they might be hiding in some corner, rubbing their hands together, looking forward to seeing him make a fool of himself, ready to deliver the most sarcastic and humiliating remarks.
He has made all the preparations.
But ten million...
Those people couldn't produce it.
Even if they are extremely wealthy, they cannot easily come up with that much money.
So, the people who photographed him tonight weren't them.
So, who exactly is making such a big move?
Soon, Manager Liao led Luo Nan to the booth where Bai Li was.
The moment Manager Liao saw Bai Li, his face immediately lit up with a professional smile. He bowed slightly and introduced Luo Nan to Bai Li; Ares was introduced to Bai Li.
"Mr. Bai, this is Ares, our top star tonight."
Luo Nan raised his eyes and glanced at the people in the booth. He realized that they were not the faces he recognized and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Then he lowered his eyes slightly.
His lowered eyelids perfectly concealed the deep, unfathomable look in his eyes, and he greeted him politely, "Mr. Bai, it's a pleasure to meet you."
It was undoubtedly a blessing for him that the people he didn't know weren't among them.
Although the identity of this Mr. Bai is unknown, he must be no ordinary person to be able to spend tens of millions of dollars on him. However, the purpose behind this is really hard to figure out.
But regardless of the other party's purpose, the fact remains that they spent a huge sum of money to indirectly help themselves.
Luo Nan's favorability +5
Luo Nan's favorability rating: 5
"Ding! Detected a member of the opposite sex with a 95 out of 100 attractiveness!"
Along with the favorability rating notification, Xiao Hao's appearance score was also displayed.
Bai Li carefully examined the man in front of her.
I have to admit, she truly deserves a 95 out of 100 in looks.
His appearance was so outstanding that it was impossible to look away, and it perfectly matched Bai Li's aesthetic.
Unlike Manager Liao, who has a somewhat effeminate appearance, Ares has a very handsome and dashing look.
With healthy, wheat-colored skin radiating vitality, thick eyebrows, large eyes, and a high, straight nose, he has an appearance bursting with hormones.
If I had to describe it, it's somewhat like those senior athletes in school, exuding a youthful vibe.
Perhaps because of his wealthy background, even now, amidst the glitz and glamour of entertainment venues, he still exudes an indescribable air of composure.
Like a pine tree that has been battered by storms, though its back may be bent temporarily, its inherent pride has never disappeared.
Although he came here to work as a male model, he still seemed to be maintaining that air about him.
When I greeted him, my tone was flat and there was no hint of flattery, which was quite unusual in this place where everyone was trying to curry favor.
A sense of doubt arose in Bai Li's heart. She had heard that his family had gone bankrupt and thought he had come here for money. But seeing that he was not lowering his pride at all, he didn't seem to be here simply for money.
Indeed, even if a family falls on hard times, it is generally difficult for a child from an ordinary wealthy family to take the step of becoming a male model.
So, is it actually Ares, or rather, the man whose real name is Loren, who came here for... some other reason?
Bai Li's curiosity grew stronger. She unconsciously narrowed her eyes, a perfectly timed smile curving her lips, and said softly, "Come sit here and chat with me."
Luo Nan sat down as instructed, his posture upright and square. After sitting down, he didn't say a word, and his eyes didn't dare to look at Bai Li, instead looking elsewhere.
Bai Li looked at him and chuckled inwardly. Oh, he's quite reserved.
Did he choose me, or did I choose him?
Well, since I want to complete the system task anyway, I'll reluctantly take the initiative this time...
Thinking of this, Bai Li parted her lips slightly and asked, "How old are you?"
Upon hearing the question, Luo Nan glanced at Bai Li's smiling face. Although her smile was radiant, it held a hint of something unfathomable. He quickly looked away and awkwardly whispered, "18 years old."
Bai Li was startled upon hearing this.
Wow, so young?
Just turned 18?
At this age, she should still be in school. Bai Li couldn't help but think that even if the family went bankrupt, the elders in the family should not let their children step into this kind of mixed entertainment venue and engage in such service work, right?
"I heard your family went bankrupt?" Bai Li leaned forward slightly, her face showing just the right amount of concern, and asked tentatively in a gentle tone.
Upon hearing this question, Luo Nan stiffened slightly. His already lowered eyes drooped even lower, his long eyelashes casting a faint shadow on his eyelids like two small fans, making it impossible to see the expression in his eyes.
After a brief silence, he nodded slightly, his voice low and deep, as if coming from the deepest part of his chest: "Mm."
They're really just uttering one word at a time!
Bai Li, feeling a headache coming on, continued to probe, "So why did you come up with the idea of working here? At your age, you could have easily tried other paths."
Luo Nan's expression darkened, and he replied, "It's not that simple, because..."
Before the words were finished, a voice came from outside the booth: "It's not that simple."
Bai Li watched as Luo Nan was about to tell his story, but at the crucial moment, he was interrupted.
She frowned slightly and looked up at the booth.
Suddenly, several young men of similar age filed in, instantly making the small booths crowded.
One of them loudly exposed Luo Nan: "This pretty lady, Luo Nan... oh no, the person sitting next to you, Ares, has a family that's not just bankrupt, they're all involved in illegal activities and are in jail."
Another person sidled up to them and said, "Pretty sister, don't you think people with criminal records in their families are scary?"
Bai Li stepped back.
The boy who approached had almond-shaped eyes, and although he was smiling, he gave her a dangerous feeling.
She really disliked it.
And isn't this their booth? Are they just going to force their way in?
Luo Nan, who had been sitting properly just moments before, quickly stood up upon seeing this, spreading one arm to completely envelop her in shadow, his body radiating suppressed hostility: "Chen Chen, step back, what are you doing here?"
"What else could I be here for?" Chen Chen laughed heartily. "Of course, I came to see you and support your work. Seeing you like this makes me feel much better."
Behind Chen Chen, three other people spread out in a fan shape, blocking all escape routes. The malice flashing in their eyes instantly turned this luxuriously decorated private room into a cage for trapped beasts.
Bai Li leaned against the cold leather backrest and laughed in exasperation.
