After returning to school, Fade and Jasmine did not mention the matter of cultivating in the mountains during the weekend. Instead, they attended classes as they usually did.
On the Internet, there was news about a few college students who were trapped in the mountains and how they were finally rescued. People would read the news and gossip about it but only Fade and Jasmine knew what really happened.
That afternoon, after Fade finished his class, he packed up and prepared to return to the dormitory for a rest.
However, at that moment, Joey skipped happily towards Fade. She did not care about the gazes of the other students. She held Fade's arm and asked with a smile, "Fade, are you free tonight? Let's go out."
"Where are we going?" Fade did not agree immediately; he needed to know first.
Joey blinked and said, "To a concert."
"A concert!" Fade was a little surprised, "Which celebrity? I didn't know you were interested in celebrities."
Joey shook her head and said, "I’m not interested in celebrities, but someone asked me to go. I promised and I thought about inviting you over to watch it together."
"Who invited you to the concert?" Fade asked.
At that moment, the sound of car brakes could be heard. A black BMW stopped and when the door was opened, Gentro, who was dressed in a suit, walked out with a smile. He told Joey, "Joey, it's almost time. The concert is about to start. Come on, let's go!"
Gentro noticed Fade who was next to her and he was slightly stunned. However, he still nodded and greeted with a smile, "Hello, Mr. Chen."
Fade nodded and then looked at Joey in surprise and curiosity, "Did he invite you to the concert? Didn’t you ignore him earlier? Why are you..."
Joey did not explain. She just shook Fade's arm and said coyly, "Are you going or not?"
"This..." For a moment, Fade did not understand what Joey was implying.
Joey pouted and said, "Don't think that I don't know. Recently, you have been with that girl, Jasmine, in your class. You two are very close. I'm going to tell the old master that you're a playboy. You said that you came over to Capital City to take care of me but you left me for another woman in
just the blink of an eye."
Fade was speechless and hurriedly said, "Okay, okay, I'll go with you. Don't talk nonsense."
"Thanks Fade!" Joey’ s expression changed instantly as she held Fade's arm and laughed. Then, she looked at Gentro and said, "I'll be going with him; that won’t be a problem, right?"
Gentro nodded and said with a smile, "It's my honor to go with you, Mr. Chen. Please, get in the car!"
Gentro then took the initiative to open the door.
Joey was oblivious of formalities so she just took Fade to the back seat. Gentro drove the car, feeling like a chauffeur.
A high pitch voice could be heard in that instant, "Hey, isn't this Young Master Luo? He's here to watch Jennifer's concert!"
The three of them all looked over.
Fade immediately saw their faces. There were four of them and they were all dressed in expensive clothing. However, they looked a little vulgar, which seemed to be discordant with the atmosphere.
Among them was a man in his early twenties. He was not tall, standing at only 1.7 meters, but he was very fat, and it was obvious that he weighed almost 200 pounds. With the dazzling golden jewelry all over his body, he looked like an upstart with bad tastes.
Gentro looked over; he smiled and then told the fat man, "I have invited two friends over. I didn't expect to meet you here, Evan."
"Friends?" Evan narrowed his eyes and then looked at Fade and Joey. When his eyes swept over Fade, he glossed over him immediately. When his eyes landed on Joey, he brightened up, and from the looks of it, he was interested in her.
Evan immediately got up and walked over. He greeted her, "I am Evan. And you are?"
Joey did not like Evan's greasy and pervert gaze, so she ignored him and looked away.
Gentro explained quickly, "Young Master Ding, this is my friend and also my classmate from Capital University, Joey."
Evan showed that he was slightly displeased when he saw Joey ignore him. Then when he heard her name, he thought of something and nodded, "Joey, I know her. She's the campus belle of the Capital University. Some time ago, you competed with Young Master Chung to pursue her, which caused chaos. Is she your girlfriend now, Young Master Luo?"
