After that incident, some days went by and it was finally the day for the cla.s.s reunion. Xiao Yunhua couldn"t wait to see what Zhao Meiliang had planned, especially when the latter had made sure to text her a reminder in case Xiao Yunhua forgot or chickened out. When Xiao Yunhua was deciding on her dress, she didn"t go for a pure white nor a dark look either. She decided to wear a fitted, spaghetti-strap golden mermaid gown that accented her curves. The dress wasn"t overly luxurious nor made to stand out, but on her, it looked enchanting. She found the dress, along with a few more, packed for her when she unpacked her things in the new house. She didn"t recognize the dress nor ever buying them, but didn"t complain because they were beautiful.
Her hair was straightened and fell behind her elegantly, along her with minimal makeup that emphasized her golden eyes. She wore a pair of golden chandelier earrings and matched them with a pair of golden pumps. She looked like a graceful princess. When she checked the time, it was already pretty close to the time for the event. Speaking of the cla.s.s reunion, it was being held in a banquet room of a famous hotel, so her formal attire was suitable. She was surprised that they wanted to even hold it there, but didn"t care much and arrived quickly. Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.
In front of her stood the grand hotel that the cla.s.s reunion was being held out. Oddly, there was lots of security and no cars parked anywhere except for the back. She noticed a few people going in to the banquet room on the side of the hotel, so she followed.
On her way, she used her enhanced senses to understand why the atmosphere was weird. Apparently, not only did her former school rent one of the small banquet halls here, but there was a business party being held in the largest one, full of business tyc.o.o.ns and other celebrities. She didn"t understand why the school wanted to hold it here on such a hectic evening, but didn"t contemplate on it too much.
Once Xiao Yunhua opened the door, she noticed that the room was pretty full despite starting not too long ago. Out of the corner of her eye, she noticed Zhao Meiliang and pushed the door even further, walking it. Xiao Yunhua didn"t realize that many had stopped to look at her in awe and admiration, along with a mixture of other emotions.
"Meiliang!" She called out, getting her attention. For a few seconds, a feeling of annoyance and shock filled her eyes but Zhao Meiliang blinked them away and smiled. Unfortunately for her, Xiao Yunhua had seen it and pretended otherwise.
"Yunhua, I"m so glad you could make it." Zhao Meiliang turned to the circle of ladies and took a deep breath, introducing Xiao Yunhua to them. Once their amazement disappeared, they were stunned at the revelation of her ident.i.ty. They couldn"t believe the girl who was expelled for nasty rumors had grown to look so beautiful and luxurious. One of them couldn"t help but pinpoint her to a celebrity online, though she couldn"t remember which one.
"I managed to meet Yunhua again when she was visiting my workplace for a house." All their ears perked with interest at the sound of this.
One of the ladies asked, "Yunhua, was the house for your family? Are you and your husband moving in to somewhere new and close by?"
Xiao Yunhua noticed the smug look on Zhao Meiliang"s face and knew that her plans of humiliation were starting, especially when who appeared to be her husband who was walking over to her. He looked average, but any was better than what she wanted to embarra.s.s Xiao Yunhua with: none.
But Xiao Yunhua didn"t want to give her that satisfaction. She shook her head and confidently flipped her head to the back. "No, it"s for myself. I"m not married yet."
The ladies pretended to pity her when in reality, Xiao Yunhua could notice their scorns. Their behavior was exactly like when they were in school, the only difference being that Xiao Yunhua was a lot more mature and understood things a lot more. She smiled in their direction, "I don"t need a husband yet. I mean, with this beauty, I can marry at any time." That jabbed their egos, including Zhao Meiliang who wanted to retort but couldn"t.
Instead, she accidentally exposed that Xiao Yunhua had only bought a small house and the whispers already begun that even though the expelled student was a beauty, she was still poor and useless. Zhao Meiliang had even begun to escalate the rumors and fan the flames even harder by bringing up the old, nasty rumors which circulated around in the banquet room.
To everyone"s surprise, Xiao Yunhua wasn"t as emotional as before and maintained her posture and indifference like a queen. She already knew that Zhao Meiliang would do dumb things like this, so she didn"t get riled up nor care much.
She sat down at a table and quietly sipped water, minding her own business and ignoring everyone there. They had begun dancing, so Zhao Meiliang stopped by and asked if Xiao Yunhua wanted to dance too.
Xiao Yunhua rolled her eyes. At this point, she really was trying to humiliate her in every sense as she knew that Xiao Yunhua didn"t bring a partner. Everyone stared at them and Xiao Yunhua shook her head, "I don"t..." her sentence faltered when someone entered the banquet hall, causing everyone turn to see who entered.
