Transmigrating Into a Book, the Villain Becomes the White Moonlight!

80: Chapter 8 RevengeShould she answer eagerly just because he called now?

Her eyes turned cold as she snatched her phone back and decisively pressed the red end-call button with a firm press of her finger.

”Lin Wan, who was that just now... a suitor?” a male classmate beside her asked half-jokingly, trying to break the sudden, delicate atmosphere.

Before Lin Wan could speak, her lively best friend Shouting first: ”Who else could it be? Must be someone trying to ask our Wanwan out! With looks like hers, it wouldn’t be strange if the line of guys chasing her stretched from the school gate all the way to Paris!”

She exaggerated, but her eyes darted towards Ji Bochang with clear matchmaking intent.

Hearing this, a confident smile curled at the corner of Ji Bochang’s mouth. He subconsciously straightened his back, as if tacitly acknowledging that he was at the very front of that long line, the only one qualified to stand by Lin Wan’s side.

The gazes of others in the private room also held varying degrees of teasing and anticipation.

Only Lin Wan seemed detached from it all. After hanging up, her gaze remained fixed on the darkened phone screen, her fingers unconsciously tracing its edge. The exquisite dishes and fine wine before her seemed to have completely lost their appeal.

Ji Bochang felt the timing was perfect.

He cleared his throat, stood up gracefully, and lightly tapped a wine glass to capture everyone’s attention.

”Taking advantage of today’s class reunion, which is also our classmate Lin Wan’s birthday, I’d like to say a few words.”

He turned to Lin Wan, deliberately crafting a Deeply affectionate and focused gaze. ”Lin Wan, from the first moment I saw you in university, I knew you were different. I like you. I hope to have the chance to stay by your side... in a different capacity.”

Living room of the Su Family home.

Listening to the busy tone from the receiver and the final, blustering accusation of fraud, Su Bai’s expression remained utterly unperturbed. He even felt it was somewhat convenient—see, it wasn’t that he didn’t call, it was that she didn’t answer.

”What’s wrong? Wanwan didn’t pick up?” Lin Guohua looked up and asked with concern.

”Hmm, a woman answered, quite aggressive.” Su Bai set down his phone, his tone as It was as bland as talking about the weather. as discussing the weather. ”Probably having fun with classmates and thinks I’m bothering her.”

Just then, Shang Hui walked over from the direction of the dining room and said gently, ”Su Bai, dinner is ready. Please call your Uncle Lin over to eat.”

”Let’s go, Uncle Lin. We’ll eat first; the matter isn’t urgent.” Su Bai compliantly stood up.

However, Lin Guohua frowned. Adopting a parental air as he walked towards the dining room, he said, ”That child is becoming more and more unreasonable. Su Bai, call her again! At least today is her birthday. Call her over to have a meal together. This is unacceptable!”

Su Bai sighed silently in his heart. *Trouble.* But on the surface, he maintained his lazy demeanor, picked up his phone again, found the number, and dialed once more.

This time, the call was answered almost the instant the ringing tone began.

The lingering echo of Ji Bochang’s carefully prepared confession still seemed to hang in the private room when the phone rang again, abruptly and unexpectedly. This time, Lin Wan hesitated almost not at all, swiping her finger across the screen to answer.

But she still didn’t speak. She merely held the phone to her ear, as if waiting, or perhaps making a silent declaration. This Unusual silence drew all eyes in the room to her, curiosity and speculation almost thickening the air.

Su Bai’s voice came through the line, still in that flat, uninflected tone, direct and dispensing with pleasantries: ”Your dad and your mom are having dinner at my place. Coming or not?”

”Yes.” Lin Wan’s reply was equally concise, even adding a time limit. ”Ten minutes.”

As soon as she finished speaking, she decisively ended the call. The firm press of her thumb on the end-call Key actions seemed to betray a hint of deliberate intent—as if hanging up on all those unanswered calls from the past two years in one fell swoop.

Her face showed no extra expression, only the faintest hint of a curve at the corner of her lips, which vanished immediately.

She stood up, put her phone into her small bag, and addressed the room full of classmates with varying expressions, her tone calm and unruffled: ”Enjoy your meal, everyone. My parents called me home for dinner.”

No explanation, no apology, not even a second glance at Ji Bochang.

She picked up her bag, turned, and walked straight towards the door, shattering the carefully crafted birthday-cum-confession atmosphere in the room.

The door closed softly behind her.

An eerie silence fell over the private room. Ji Bochang’s face flushed, then paled, finally settling into a grim livid.

He remained standing there, still holding the wine glass he hadn’t had time to set down.

His A carefully prepared heartfelt confession had turned into a joke with no one to receive it.

”Uh... maybe it was an older brother? Or a younger brother from her family? Something urgent?” the lively best friend tried to smooth things over, but her voice betrayed her Guilty.

*Maybe?*

Ji Bochang sneered inwardly.

He had gone to considerable trouble to find out. He knew very well that Lin Wan was the only daughter of the Lin Corporation. What older or younger brother?

Moreover, the faintly audible male voice was young, unfamiliar, and carried a casualness that inexplicably irritated him.

What bothered him even more was Lin Wan’s demeanor when she answered the phone and her Leaving without a second thought—that was definitely not the reaction one should have to an ordinary family call.

He knew a bit about Lin Wan’s background, knew that behind the Lin family stood the even larger Su Corporation.

Even without her face, the connections behind Lin Wan were something Ji Bochang needed to pursue.

Not to mention, Lin Wan had a face capable of Disaster to the country and the people, which only intensified the restless agitation in Ji Bochang’s heart.

On the other end, Su Bai, having had his call hung up on, also clearly looked displeased.

It had always been him hanging up on others. Who dared hang up on *him*!?

Outside the Su Family villa.

Lin Wan didn’t actually arrive in a frantic rush within ten minutes.

She stopped before the closed main door, took several deep breaths. The The cool air was inhaled into the lungs., trying to calm the turbulent emotions that had been churning since she received the call.

Then, she raised her hand and knocked.

”Wanwan’s here?” Shang Hui greeted her warmly, her face full of smiles.

”Hello, Auntie.” Lin Wan’s voice regained its usual Qingling tone.

She walked into the living room, her gaze sweeping over everyone before finally settling on the figure lounging on the sofa, who seemed utterly uninterested in everything.

Two years of university seemed to have tempered the last traces of youthful in her into a kind of more Solid coldness.

Su Bai lazily lifted his gaze, a faint thought passing through his mind—*I thought she might grow into the soft, cute type. Seems I misjudged.*

Without further pleasantries, Lin Wan walked straight over and sat down on the single armchair opposite Su Bai.

Then, she raised her eyes and simply stared at him, wordlessly and fixedly.

That gaze was clear, calm, yet seemed to hold many unspoken queries and scrutiny, landing directly on Su Bai’s face.

A familiar feeling instantly washed back over him.

*Just like this.*
