Chapter 38 - Conflict"Haha, everyone"s almost here. There are still some cla.s.smates who haven"t come, but I believe they will be arriving soon. It"s been a while since we"ve seen each other; it"s been a long time." In a luxurious room in the famous seven star hotel in Tianhai City, a group of well-dressed men and women were reminiscing about old times. They were Lu Xinran"s cla.s.smates, and Lawyer Zhong, who was acquainted with Xiang Yang, was in one of them.
"Old Zhang, you came too. Long time no see."
"Yeah, long time no see. How was it? I heard that your company is developing very well?"
"Haha, luckily, my company has developed quite well."
"Aiya, Old Li, we brothers haven"t contacted each other in a long time, you brat, you"ve gotten fatter."
"You"ve become skinnier; did your wife mistreat you?"
"Haha …"
"…"
A group of old cla.s.smates had not seen each other for many years. They happily smiled as they explained their situation and recalled the scenes when they were studying. From their clothes, it could be seen that these people were all very well off.
"The appointed time is here, who hasn"t come yet? I don"t know if it will come again, but if it doesn"t, then let"s begin." The organizer was a well-dressed man who looked very capable. It was their cla.s.s monitor, Zhang Lin.
"It should be about now. Eh, that"s not right, there"s still School Beauty Lu who hasn"t come yet." Someone said."Someone should call her to ask her about the situation?" Someone suggested.
"Old Zhong, you and School Beauty Lu are both from Tianhai, how is it? Have you settled things with her? Hide her secretly and don"t let us meet up." someone said, patting a man on the shoulder.
"I would like to, but in these few years, everyone has been working hard for their cause, so there isn"t much contact. However, I do have her phone number. Wait a moment, I"ll immediately call her and ask about the situation." Old Zhong was the Lawyer Zhong who helped Xiang Yang before when he was invited by Lu Xinran. He had a gentle smile on his face as he took out his phone and was about to call Lu Xinran."Sorry for being late."
Just as Lawyer Zhong was about to call Lu Xinran, a clear voice came out. They only saw her wearing a purple cheongsam, with her hair tied up, looking as n.o.ble and beautiful as a queen, and the breathtakingly beautiful Lu Xinran holding onto a handsome man in a suit as she walked in.
The current Lu Xinran had been meticulously dressed up, wearing a purple cheongsam that matched well with her almost perfect figure. n.o.ble, elegant, beautiful … all sorts of words that could be used to praise beauties wouldn"t be exaggerated when used on her. Moreover, after she had done her hair, her hair was tied up, revealing her snow-white neck, added to its temptation and n.o.bility.
"Truly beautiful.""She really is a G.o.ddess."
"…"
All of the men present stared at Lu Xinran in a daze with eyes filled with limitless amazement. They realized that after not seeing her for a few years, this school beauty who had swept the world in the past had become even more beautiful and n.o.ble, to the point where it was hard to look at her in the eye.
This was a beauty that could bewitch all men, a beauty that could make countless women feel dejected and depressed. No one felt it was strange when they used the word "devastatingly beautiful" on her.
Amongst the other women present, there was no lack of beauties. When they dressed up, there were some who would turn their heads when walking on the road, but the moment they saw Lu Xinran, they all lowered their heads."Who is he? Could it be School Beauty Lu"s boyfriend? I say, my G.o.ddess is already named after someone; I don"t want to live anymore. "
"He actually caught School Beauty Lu. This is too much."
"Flowers in cow dung."
"He is our enemy."
"…"All of the males looked at Xiang Yang with unfriendly eyes. As the saying goes, "fat water cannot flow to the outside world", if School Beauty Lu was chased by one of them, although they would be jealous, it would be slightly better. However, today, School Beauty Lu had actually ran off with an unknown brat, which made them extremely unhappy, and the gazes they used to look at Xiang Yang with were filled with hostility.
Xiang Yang could clearly feel that these men were looking at him with killing intent in their eyes. He laughed helplessly, and moved his mouth close to Lu Xinran"s ear, saying in a low voice, "These fellows are looking at me as if they want to kill me. I"m thinking that they must be very jealous of me right now, wishing that they could kill me right now, tsk tsk."
Lu Xinran rolled her eyes at Xiang Yang, and said in a low voice: "You should be happy in your heart. If it wasn"t to get rid of some unnecessary trouble, I wouldn"t have brought you here."
"Haha, so you"re saying that I earned cheap." Xiang Yang laughed.
"Great beauty Lu is finally here. After so many years, you have become more and more beautiful." As the organizer, Cla.s.s Rep Zhang Lin said to Lu Xinran with a smile.
"Cla.s.s Rep Zhang"s mouth is getting sweeter and sweeter. Why didn"t I see how good your eloquence was that year?" Lu Xinran replied with a smile.
"Haha, that was back then when I didn"t dare to approach you for fear of being beaten by your pursuers!" Zhang Lin laughed.
"Come; let me introduce him to you. He is my man companion, Xiang Yang, Tianhai First High School"s teacher." Lu Xinran chuckled, she first introduced Xiang Yang to everyone, and then said to Xiang Yang, "Xiang Yang, let me introduce you, this is our cla.s.s monitor back then, Zhang Lin, and this is Chen Feng, this is …"After she introduced everyone, she finally looked at Lawyer Zhong, "This is Lawyer Zhong."
"I thought you forgot about me." Lawyer Zhong said with a smile.
Lu Xinran laughed softly, "How could that be? Last time, you did me a huge favor, so I decided to introduce you at the end because you two are acquainted with each other now and because you are the most familiar with me.""Haha, that makes me happy." Lawyer Zhong immediately laughed out loud. He then looked towards Xiang Yang and extended his hand towards him, "We meet again. I never thought that you would actually secretly catch Xinran in your hands."
"Haha, excuse me." Xiang Yang"s face revealed a proud smile, and shook hands with Lawyer Zhong. He could feel that Lawyer Zhong"s hands were very strong, as though he wanted to crush his own hands."h.e.l.lo, Xiang Yang."
"h.e.l.lo, h.e.l.lo."
"…"
Following that, almost everyone came over to get to know Xiang Yang, who had a smile on his face, and shook hands with them one by one.They thought that Xiang Yang was just a small teacher in the Tianhai First High School, and being able to catch up with him was just dog s.h.i.t luck. But they never thought that Xiang Yang"s every move would carry the aura of a n.o.ble, and he didn"t look like a normal high school teacher at all. This made them a little suspicious of Xiang Yang"s background, how could normal high school teachers have such a temperament? Could ordinary high school teachers even catch up with the G.o.ddess Lu Xinran?
Xiang Yang looked at everyone"s eyes, and didn"t need to think to know what these people were thinking, but he couldn"t be bothered to care about these people. In his heart, a high school teacher, was the greatest occupation.
If it wasn"t because these people were all Lu Xinran"s old cla.s.smates and he didn"t want to embarra.s.s Lu Xinran, he would definitely teach these people a lesson, so that they would understand the greatness of the position of teacher.
Every ordinary person who stuck to his or her post was in fact the greatest.
After everyone had taken their seats, not many people came. There were only a dozen or so people in total, which was just enough to fill up the big table.
"Old cla.s.smates, we haven"t seen each other in years. Cheers!"
As the cla.s.s monitor, Zhang Lin was the first to stand up and raise his wine cup.
"Here, cheers."
After drinking the wine, Xiang Yang smacked his lips and immediately ate a few mouthfuls of food. However, a fat lady who was sitting beside him came over with a mocking smile and said loudly: "Teacher Xiang Yang, you have never tasted this kind of high-grade wine before right? This is a wine imported from Australia, a wine known as the Bright Star of the Sun."Her voice was loud, and many people around her were immediately attracted by her voice. When they looked over, Lu Xinran"s eyes revealed displeasure, but due to the face of her cla.s.smates, she did not say anything.
Xiang Yang smacked his lips, and said indifferently: "I have never tasted this kind of wine before …."
"Haha, like I said before, although Teacher Xiang Yang is able to catch up with School Beauty Lu, he is still just a teacher, how can he possibly have drank this kind of pure imported wine?" Before Xiang Yang could finish speaking, the fat woman instantly laughed out loud, the ridicule in her eyes becoming even stronger.
"Lin Qingfang, aren"t you going too far?" Lawyer Zhong said with a dissatisfied tone.
"Everyone knows that you were chasing Xinran all those years ago, but I never thought that in just a few years, Xinran would be chased by such an unknown teacher. If he was an outstanding person, I would recognize him, but he is just an ordinary high school teacher, how could he be worthy of Xinran?" the fat woman who was called "Lin Qingfang" said as she glanced at Lawyer Zhong.
"Don"t talk nonsense, it has nothing to do with me." Lawyer Zhong immediately frowned, although he was also unhappy about Xiang Yang chasing Lu Xinran, but the way this woman said it, was as if she was being ordered by him, which changed the situation a little.
Lu Xinran"s face was filled with dissatisfaction. Just as she was about to speak, she felt Xiang Yang pat her arm lightly. The latter smiled lightly and whispered into her ear: "They"re all your cla.s.smates, there"s no need to make a fuss. I"ll be fine."
"But …" Lu Xinran"s face showed guilt.
"Don"t worry, I"ll be fine." She wanted to explain a little, but Xiang Yang smiled and interrupted her, "Watch me."
"Yes." Lu Xinran nodded slightly as she looked at Xiang Yang with her gentle eyes, with grat.i.tude in her eyes.When Xiang Yang and Lu Xinran were speaking with each other, to the onlookers, it was as if the two of them were talking about love, as if no one else was around. A few men who had not married yet and admired Lu Xinran all had fire in their eyes as they sighed endlessly, while Lawyer Zhong was clenching his fist tightly under the table.
"May I know your surname, fellow student?" Xiang Yang then laughed and looked at the fat woman beside him.
"My name is Lin Qingfang, I"m the general manager of a foreign trade company." Lin Qingfang proudly raised her head, obviously very proud of her position.
"Wow, you"re actually the general manager of a foreign trade company. How amazing." Xiang Yang praised.
"I can"t compare to the other cla.s.smates, but there"s a saying that"s better than nothing. I"m in exactly this kind of situation." As Lin Qingfang said this, her complacent gaze swept over Lu Xinran and Xiang Yang. Evidently, the meaning behind her words included both Lu Xinran and Xiang Yang.
Although Lu Xinran was the Tianhai First High School"s Vice Princ.i.p.al, but in this woman"s eyes, the Princ.i.p.al was also a teacher.
"Sigh, what a pity." Xiang Yang shook his head.
"What"s a pity?" Lin Qingfang asked in confusion."I only feel pity for your foreign trade company. How could it invite someone who doesn"t know anything to be its general manager? I think that company is about to go bankrupt as well." Xiang Yang smiled.
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Lin Qingfang stood up in anger, and looked at Xiang Yang with eyes that seemed to spew fire.
