    Chapter 256 The Scoundrel


    “This city is only this big. It shouldn’t be strange for us to meet here, right?” Hank lied expressionlessly.


    He was bing more and more like a scoundrel now. Seeing that she was not speaking, Hank


    knocked on the door of the car. “Let me get out of the car and go in for a meal,” he said. “Up to you,”


    Lyra snorted. She turned around and was about to step up the stairs, but because of the snow, her feet


    slipped and she almost fell on the stairs. Fortunately, Hank reached out and pulled her.


    She fell into his arms.


    “Be careful.” He lowered his eyes and looked at her. The moonlight was shining behind him.


    “There’s no need for you to pretend to be kind,” Lyra said impatiently as she pushed his hand away.


    When Hank’s hand was empty, she had already walked in quickly. He smiled helplessly and was about


    to step up. From another car, a beautiful figure walked out. “It turns out that even an outstanding man


    like Mr. Barnwell would have a time when he would be distracted by a woman.” A few minutester.


    Jing brought Lyra to sit with his ssmates. “This is Han Jia, my ssmate who studied design.” Jing


    smiled warmly while serving her food.


    He was very enthusiastic throughout the whole process. Han Jia was a beautiful girl. At first nce,


    she looked very young. She had her long ck hairbed straight. She smiled and said, “Jing


    usually doesn’t ask for help. When he called me, I was a little surprised. I didn’t know that the person


    he was going to introduce was you.” Lyra seemed to find this interesting. “Ah, don’t misunderstand. I


    read your design drafts from the school website. The teacher also exined your work to us. You were


    the designer Luna, right?”


    Jing took the opportunity to look at Lyra. “You are Luna?” Then, the others also seemed to be very


    surprised. Lyra nodded. “Is there a problem?”


    Jing raised his eyebrows. “You don’t know how famous you are, do you? Han Jia, tell her how much


    your ssmates admire her design.” Han Jia’s smile deepened. She looked at Jing who was taking


    care of Lyra and changed the topic, “You guys aren’t studying design. I’d bettermunicate with Lyra


    privately.” “Alright, leave me your contact details.” Her words made Lyra suspicious. Previously, when


    she used Luna’s name in Jimmy’s shop, Jimmy seemed to be quite surprised too. However, at that


    time, Lyra did not think about it. “Jing, how did you two know each other?” Someone asked nosily, “You


    are the famous single young master in our circle. Now that you have a girlfriend, many girls will secretly


    cry.”


    “Don’t misunderstand, I don’t have that kind of rtionship with Lyra. At least, not at the moment.” Jing


    said, his gentle tone making people feel at ease.


    But one could also hear his feelings for Lyra. Han Jia picked up the food and her eyes dimmed a lot.


    “Excuse me.” Lyra felt a little awkward and got up to go to the bathroom. Unexpectedly, she met Han


    Jia just as she came out. She was tall and thin, with a sarcastic smile on her face, “Jing is such a


    simple person, and how could he pursue a divorced woman like you?” Her expression was like a


    and she directly exposed Han Jia’s thoughts. Han Jia bit the corner of her lips and stared at Lyra’s face.


    “Jing has always prioritized his studies and career. He never dealt with girls. After he returned to the


    country a few days ago, he called me because of you, and you still dare to say that you didn’t seduce


    him?”


    “If you say one more word, I will sue you for nder.” “As expected of the ex-wife of a big shot in the


    business circle, you like mentioningws. Thew is not to protect people like you. You are not worthy


    of Jing at all. You better keep your distance from him, otherwise…” “Otherwise?” Lyra could not stand


    this threat.


    “Otherwise, I will definitely remove you from the school application list. Don’t you want to make up for


    the regret of not being able to study overseas? If I say a few words to the teacher, I will see which


    school will want a person with a bad reputation!” “I have known Jing for many years. Other than me, no


    one is worthy to stay by his side.” “What’s more, you are a whore who has been shaken off by


    someone…”


    Pa. Lyra raised her hand and pped Han Jia in the face. She turned pale and stared at Lyra. “You


    dare to hit me?” “Yes, I do. I will admit what I have done. Go and shout now and say I hit you. Go.” Lyra


    turned on the tap again and washed her hands calmly. The mirror reflected Han Jia’s shocked and


    angry appearance. “A person like you is not worthy to enter our school!”


    “I don’t bother!” Lyra turned off the tap and her eyes darkened. “f Academy, right? You might not


    know, but Professor Irene is my senior. Before


    she went abroad, we often met. I still have her contact information. Do you need me to talk to her about


    your character?” “What?” “To be able to study abroad is indeed a dream that I have not fulfilled. I will


    definitely not allow this dream to be trampled on. So, get out of here.” Lyra said and walked out of the


    bathroom. She walked quickly and did not notice the figure standing at the door of the men’s bathroom


    on the other side. On the way back to the room, Lyra was stopped by the manager of the restaurant.


    “Miss Jones, your friend asked me to take you to another private room. This way please.”


    Jing? “Pleasee in. As the door opened, there was a table full of dishes that she liked. The drinks


    had already been poured, but the man sitting on the other side of the table was someone that Lyra did


    not want to see. “Hank, what are you doing?” Her patience had reached its limit. It was too far-fetched


    to say that it was a coincidence. This man was clearly following her and peeping at her life. This feeling


    of being stared at was very ufortable.


    Hank did not quarrel with her and only said, “Ribs with sweet dates of this restaurant are special. There


    is also the pear chicken. It has just been stewed. It is more delicious than the sweet and steak at their


    table.” The dishes he ordered were indeed very much to Lyra’s liking. However, she would not lower

    her head to him. “Don’t think that I will retract my usation against the Barnwell group just because


    you do this. Business and private matters…” Lyra frowned. “Are two different things. I know that Ms.


    Jones is the same as me. We are both people who distinguish between public and private.” He said in


    a light voice and put a bowl of soup in front of Lyra. Smelling the fragrance, Lyra indeed hesitated. She


    had to worry about Jing’s ssmates and could not eat to her heart’s content, but Hank understood her


    appetite very well. “If you want to study abroad, I can invest to send you there.” He lifted his deep eyes


    and stared at her.
