Urban Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain

Chapter 257: Chapter 257: The Stunned Zhang Meilan

The location of Ye Linglong’s promotion banquet was not in a hotel this time, but on a huge luxury cruise ship beside the pier.

The cruise ship was called the ”Rose Princess.”

This cruise ship, the ”Rose Princess,” was also owned by the Bai family, and it was said that purchasing this giant cruise ship originally cost over 3 billion.

It rarely went out to sea and was mainly used to host upper-class society banquets.

Moreover, it was not rented out externally, only open to a few people.

Ye Linglong naturally belonged to this few people.

When Lin Dong and Ye Linglong arrived at the cruise terminal of the ”Rose Princess,” they found that the parking lot was already full of luxury cars.

There were indeed many people attending this promotion banquet today.

And they were all celebrities of the Southern Capital.

The circles involved spanned various industries.

There were elite warriors from the War Department, influential circles, business giants, martial arts elites, famous doctors, and superstars from entertainment circles, among others.

Of course, in front of these big shots, the identities of those superstars that everyone usually saw on the screen were nothing.

They only belonged to the lowest tier among all the celebrities.

Lin Dong and Bai Jue were seeing so many luxury power circles for the first time and were attending such a significant banquet gathering for the first time, both somewhat surprised.

”Dongzi, I’m a bit nervous,” Bai Jue said, lowering her head.

Lin Dong smiled at her and held her hand to show comfort.

To board the cruise ship, one had to pass through a position similar to a ticket inspection point and must present an invitation to enter.

Many people were currently queued there.

Lin Dong and Bai Jue stood there lining up as well.

While they lined up, a woman, dressed flamboyantly and with excitement on her face, stood nearby.

She was Zhang Meilan, whom Lin Dong had just encountered at the hospital entrance.

She was also Bai Jue’s university classmate and roommate.

During university, she often bullied Bai Jue.

Qian Hao had gone to the restroom, so she was now standing there alone waiting for him, while waiting, she looked around.

Seeing the surrounding top-tier people of the Southern Capital, she revealed a very excited expression, not expecting she could attend such a high-specification banquet one day.

*She was elated and smug, ready to take photos and post on Moments, when suddenly she saw two familiar people.*

”Am I seeing things!? It seems I saw Bai Jue and Lin Dong!?”

She saw a woman who looked ”very much like” Bai Jue standing there in line.

Her first reaction was naturally not to believe it was Bai Jue. How could someone like Bai Jue have the qualification to attend such a high-level banquet?

But after rubbing her eyes and looking carefully, she found she wasn’t mistaken.

*That was really Bai Jue!*

And she wore a gorgeous dress, standing among many celebrities, still so striking.

”What is she doing here?”

Zhang Meilan hurriedly walked toward Lin Dong and Bai Jue’s position.

Lin Dong and Bai Jue were there quietly lining up, unexpectedly hearing a familiar voice.

”Bai Jue, what are you doing here? Do you have the qualification to come here?”

Zhang Meilan shouted.

Upon hearing her voice, both Lin Dong and Bai Jue looked at Zhang Meilan.

Seeing it was Zhang Meilan, Lin Dong frowned.

Bai Jue was also somewhat surprised.

However, she wasn’t the same as before. During university, she was quite afraid of Zhang Meilan.

*But after the classmate gathering, she no longer feared her.*

Facing her questions, Bai Jue calmly replied, ”I am here to attend Ye Linglong’s banquet.”

”You are here to attend the banquet? What identity do you have to attend the banquet?”

”Wearing a gorgeous dress, your clothes are quite beautiful. But you really think wearing a beautiful dress can turn a common chick into a phoenix?”

”Let me tell you, a person like you who comes from such a background, with a profession of just an ordinary nurse, is destined to be a lower-class person for life!”

*Facing Zhang Meilan’s incessant chatter, Bai Jue ignored her, remaining silent.*

As for Lin Dong, he really found Zhang Meilan annoying.

*Every time he encountered her, she buzzed in his ear like a fly.*

And she herself was a nurse, why did she look down on the profession?

”Oh, I understand. Bai Jue, you must have heard from Lin Dong that I was going to attend this banquet, so driven by jealousy, you also wanted to attend. Thus, you bought a gorgeous dress and let Lin Dong bring you here, right?”

”Bai Jue, put away your jealousy! Don’t embarrass yourself here! This place is not somewhere you can enter just by wearing a gorgeous dress, nor are you fit to come. Don’t you understand the reason for imitating without understanding?”

”Pop!!” However, after she finished her words, Lin Dong slapped her directly in the face.

This woman’s chatter was really too much!

Lin Dong’s principle was always to act rather than talk too much.

So he directly smacked her!

Having been slapped by Lin Dong here, Zhang Meilan covered her face in shock.

*She completely didn’t expect Lin Dong to dare to hit her under such circumstances.*

”Lin Dong, you... you actually dared to hit me!?”

”Why wouldn’t I dare to hit you?” Lin Dong said, making to continue hitting her.

But Bai Jue pulled him aside.

Bai Jue pulled Lin Dong, whispering:

”Dongzi, forget it. Don’t let such an insignificant person affect Ye Linglong’s banquet.”

*She worried Lin Dong might make too big a scene and affect the mood of the banquet host, Ye Linglong.*

Lin Dong thought her words made sense.

So he nodded and stopped his hand.

After that, he no longer paid attention to Zhang Meilan but took out two invitations and led Bai Jue to the invitation inspection point.

Zhang Meilan shouted, ”Guards, stop them, they hit someone!”

”And their invitations must be fake. There’s no way they received invitations...”

However, before she finished, she saw the guard inspecting invitations salute Lin Dong and Bai Jue respectfully.

Then, bowing, he said, ”Welcome, honored guests, please come in!”

Lin Dong and Bai Jue, hand in hand, boarded the cruise under Zhang Meilan’s stunned gaze.
