Chapter 96 The Young Master Likes Excitement
Bae Joo-hyun has long, straight, gentle black hair. Her cool and delicate face looks especially stunning under the soft lighting in the private room, like a white camellia quietly blooming.
Upon seeing Lin Yuan enter, Jin Minying immediately stood up and warmly greeted him:
"Oh, Young Master Lin, it's an honor to meet you! I'm so sorry, this is the first time we've met in so long, my apologies."
Bae Joo-hyun, who was standing next to her, quickly stood up, clasped her hands in front of her, and respectfully greeted him, "Young Master Lin."
Her voice carried a hint of barely perceptible tension, and her eyelashes trembled slightly.
Whether it was because she was facing Lin Yuan again or because it was her first time attending such a dinner party, she was so nervous that she was almost sweating.
Lin Yuan took off his sunglasses and handed them to Xia Yuan. His gaze lingered on Bae Joo-hyun for a moment before he smiled and reached out to shake Kim Min-young's hand.
"President Kim, you're too kind. It's my honor to enjoy Seoul's finest private cuisine with you."
The two exchanged a few casual pleasantries before settling down comfortably.
Kim Min-young personally poured Lin Yuan a cup of tea, her eyes darting around shrewdly before she tentatively said, "Young Master Lin's trip from China this time has caused quite a stir."
We've heard you've been quite interested in investing in the entertainment industry lately. As an industry leader, SM Entertainment is very much looking forward to the opportunity to collaborate deeply with you, Mr. Lin.
Lin Yuan picked up his teacup, took a sip, and slowly put it down. He didn't respond to what Lin Yuan said, but instead turned to look at Bae Joo-hyun, who was quietly standing to the side like a "mural".
In SM Entertainment, the only people who could interest him were Lee Soo-man or Min Hee-jin, or Bae Joo-hyun standing right in front of him.
As for cooperation... that depends on whether a certain "god-like beauty" is willing to cooperate.
Lin Yuan chuckled softly, tapping his fingers lightly on the table: "President Jin, we're not in a rush to discuss the collaboration. Let's take our time."
Then she turned to Bae Joo-hyun, "Noona, don't you recognize me?"
The word "Noona" sent a jolt through Bae Joo-hyun's heart, and her eyes instantly welled up with tears. Her hands, resting on her knees, clenched tightly, and she bit her lower lip, momentarily speechless.
Should we blame him for leaving Seoul without a word?
Or should she blame him for getting engaged without telling anyone, and even having a child?
She was just a blind date, an idol, a sacrificial lamb pushed onto him by the company.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Lin Yuan wasn't in a hurry. He leisurely picked up his teacup, took a sip, and said meaningfully:
"President Kim, Bae Joo-hyun from your company is really popular lately. I see Red Velvet videos all the time, even in China. Looks like you've been investing a lot in her, haven't you?"
Lin Yuan sneered inwardly: Not going to talk, huh? Pretending to be quiet, huh? Since I can't get him to talk, you're not going to ignore your club president's orders, are you?
Kim Min-young immediately understood: this meal wasn't about discussing cooperation at all; it was clearly because Bae Joo-hyun hadn't served this young master well.
So, he makes the club president the bad guy, while he plays the good guy to pick up girls.
Wow, rich people really know how to have fun, going through all this trouble.
Thinking of this, Kim Min-young turned her head and said seriously, "Eileen, did you waste your time in the company's etiquette class? Hurry up and pour tea for Young Master Lin. Can't you see the cup is empty? Don't you have any manners?"
"Inside!"
Bae Joo-hyun took a deep breath, fighting back tears, stood up, picked up the teapot, walked to Lin Yuan's side, knelt down, and carefully poured tea. "Young Master Lin, please enjoy!"
Just as she was about to return to her original seat, Lin Yuan reached out and grabbed her, his tone leaving no room for argument: "Nuna, sit here. We haven't seen each other in a long time, want to catch up?"
Upon seeing this, Bae Joo-hyun couldn't hold back any longer. Her delicate face was instantly covered in tears, like a weeping white lotus.
She abandoned her usual gentle and mild demeanor and shouted, "Enough, Lin Yuan! What do you want? Do you want my body, or do you want me as a person?"
Bae Joo-hyun angrily shook off Lin Yuan's hand and slapped him across the face in front of Kim Min-young.
*Smack!*
The air was still at that moment.
Kim Min-young felt as if the sky had fallen. Her eyes nearly popped out of their sockets, and she didn't dare to speak, fearing she would get into trouble.
Upon seeing her young master being beaten, Xia Yuan, the secretary, immediately stood up, grabbed Pei Zhuxuan's hand, and shouted to the outside, "Come in, all of you."
The next second, the door was pushed open, and two imposing bodyguards entered.
Seeing the current situation, the two immediately understood what was going on and stepped forward to attack Bae Joo-hyun.
Bae Joo-hyun gave a self-deprecating laugh.
She looked at Lin Yuan: "What, you like someone more forceful, don't you? Pah, you scoundrel."
Lin Yuan was still in a daze; he was stunned by Bae Joo-hyun's slap.
Then he heard her cursing him again, and when he came to his senses, he saw the bodyguard about to attack Bae Joo-hyun.
It's like a gorilla stepping on an ant; one stomp and there's not even a crumb left.
"Stop!" Lin Yuan called out to stop them, waving his hand to signal the bodyguards to leave first.
"Young Master! This..."
Xia Yuan anxiously wanted to ask why.
The young master was clearly beaten up, so could it be... just like this woman said, that the young master likes to play some exciting games?
Then I have a chance too, how about... getting the young master drunk?
Lin Yuan: "...Perhaps you could try confessing your feelings directly."
The door was closed again, and Lin Yuan told Xia Yuan to let go of his hand.
Xia Yuan pouted, looking reluctant.
Lin Yuan rubbed his burning face; it was obvious that it was flushed red.
He glanced at the terrified Kim Min-young and cursed her inwardly as a "worthless good-for-nothing."
On the surface, he still smiled and said, "President Kim, I have agreed to get rid of Lee Soo-man. If you need anything later, please contact Xia Yuan."
Then he looked at Xia Yuan: "Exchange business cards with President Jin and arrange a time, the sooner the better."
Kim Min-young had given up hope, but unexpectedly, a new opportunity arose.
He immediately bowed respectfully repeatedly, saying, "Thank you for your support, Young Master Lin! Thank you for your support, Young Master Lin! I won't disturb your meal any longer, Young Master Lin, I'll take my leave now."
He then left under the watchful eyes of the three men.
Bae Joo-hyun's heart died instantly.
Her face, streaked with tears, was filled with despair.
He collapsed to the ground with a dull thud.
"You go out first, I want to talk to her alone."
Lin Yuan drove Xia Yuan away, and now only he and Pei Zhuxuan remained.
He clicked his tongue, plopped down next to Bae Joo-hyun, and softly called out, "Noona."
Bae Joo-hyun only showed a slight physical reaction, but remained silent.
Damn, this woman seems a bit difficult to deal with.
As expected of the legendary "Iron-Armed Woman," it seems that if this matter is not handled properly, tomorrow's entertainment headlines will be: Red Velvet's captain, Irene (Bae Joo-hyun), committed suicide at home in the early hours of the morning due to personal reasons?
The thought of this made Lin Yuan feel terrible.
He secretly blamed himself for being too hasty and embarrassing her in front of so many people, which caused her to become distraught and even lose the will to live.
