13 Chapter 13 Class Reunion 2 (Making up for the missed update from yesterday)

Song Jing disdainfully curled her lips and muttered softly, “Pretending what? Just wait till Hong Ming gets back, see if you dare to be so arrogant!”

Song Jing now only had one thing on her mind—clinging to Hong Ming, the big tree. If she could gain his recognition and become a mistress, that would be perfect.

That’s why she looked down on Xue An so much.

Because she knew that Hong Ming harbored hostility towards Xue An.

Especially since Fan Mengxue had returned to Beijiang all of a sudden, it was very likely related to the sudden reappearance of Xue An, who had been missing for four years.

She couldn’t wait to see the expression on Fan Mengxue’s face when she found out that Xue An already had a child.

Song Jing thought with schadenfreude.

At this moment,

at the Beijiang expressway entrance, a dozen black Mercedes lined up in a row, with Hong Ming dressed in a custom suit, waiting in the wind.

This scene naturally attracted curious glances from everyone.

However, Hong Ming felt nothing, not even the cold wind could cool his burning heart.

Finally,

a white Mercedes van slowly drove off the highway.

Hong Ming, excited, didn’t wait for the van to come to a complete stop before he hurried forward to greet it.

The door opened.

Fan Mengxue, dressed in a flowing gown, looking refined and genteel like the girl next door, appeared before Hong Ming.

Hong Ming felt his breathing hasten, the intense desire to possess her making him wish he could pin the frail woman to the ground right then.

“Where is he?” This was the first thing Fan Mengxue said to Hong Ming.

Hong Ming felt a tide of jealousy rise within him. Why was she asking for him the moment she saw him?

Why?

Although he was displeased, Hong Ming still said with a smile, “Everyone is at the hotel waiting for you!”

Fan Mengxue nodded, “Then lead the way, please!”

“But your driver has been driving for such a long time, it’s dangerous. Why not take my car?”

Fan Mengxue hesitated, but ultimately nodded in agreement.

At this moment, the other male classmates also gathered around, starting to greet her.

“Meng Xue, I’m Li Qiang!”

“Meng Xue, I’m Han Li.”

Among these greetings, Fan Mengxue nodded and then got into the car, without saying a word during the whole process.

The men looked at each other in confusion.

“Becoming a star and she doesn’t know her place anymore, what’s there to be haughty about!”

“Hmph, it’s true! If it weren’t for Hong Ming, I wouldn’t have bothered coming!”

These murmurs, though soft, still reached inside the car.

But Fan Mengxue appeared indifferent.

That’s right.

She really disliked these so-called classmates.

Even Hong Ming was her most detested person.

Because the Fan Mengxue from back then had neither living parents and was fostered in her uncle’s house; apart from being beautiful, she had no background whatsoever.

Thus, she became an object of desire for many.

But Fan Mengxue was a self-respecting girl, of course she wouldn’t yield.

Then, these so-called classmates started to spread rumors saying she hooked up with men outside all the time and had even had several abortions.

These rumors completely crushed the then Fan Mengxue.

In class too, she was thoroughly ostracized.

Song Jing and other girls also ridiculed her in various ways.

Just when Fan Mengxue was on the brink of a mental breakdown, Xue An stood up for her.

To this day, Fan Mengxue still remembered that scene.

Sitting alone in a corner, a group of girls pointed and jeered at her.

And just then, a boy in black silently stood by her side.

That figure, not tall and even a bit slight, would never be forgotten by Fan Mengxue.

For her sake, Xue An was beaten several times by thugs from outside the school, but this boy seemed to have a fierce streak. Though he was beaten, he would always fight to the end like a lone wolf.

After a few occurrences, no one dared to provoke him anymore.

With a face full of scars, Xue An smiled at Fan Mengxue, “No one will dare to bully you from now on!”

At that moment, Fan Mengxue threw herself into Xue An’s arms, sobbing uncontrollably.

From that point on, Fan Mengxue swore a vicious oath to live only for Xue An for the rest of her life.

It wasn’t until later that Fan Mengxue found out all of this was due to Hong Ming’s instigation.

By a stroke of luck, Fan Mengxue eventually embarked on the path of a star. The journey was arduous, but she could proudly say that she had come this far with integrity.

Not for any other reason but to be worthy of that boy in black, covered in scars from back then.

However, Xue An’s disappearance four years ago almost shattered Fan Mengxue.

She had written her will, yet in the end, she did not die because she wanted to give herself time. If Xue An still hadn’t appeared after four years, then she would take her own life.

By the grace of God, Xue An returned.

Upon hearing this news, Fan Mengxue cried tears of excitement and rushed back overnight.

The one who told her of Xue An’s return was also Hong Ming.

Hong Ming sat in the passenger seat, stealing glances at Fan Mengxue sitting in the back, and eventually couldn’t help but say, “Meng Xue, today seems to be your birthday, right?”

Fan Mengxue was taken aback and then remembered that today was indeed her birthday.

These four years, Fan Mengxue was constantly busy because she dared not rest. The moment she did, Xue An would flood her thoughts.

Thus, the concept of a birthday had faded from her memory.

“Hmm!”

“Most of our classmates have arrived, just in time to celebrate your birthday with you!”

Fan Mengxue remained silent, turning her head to watch the scenery flying by outside the car window.

Hong Ming’s eyelids twitched with rage bubbling in his heart.

Why was this woman always so cold towards him?

Was it because of that Xue An?

Heh!

A cold smile appeared on Hong Ming’s lips.

This time when Xue An returned, Hong Ming intended to trample him underfoot in front of Fan Mengxue, then tell her that she, as a woman, was only worthy of him.

Soon enough.

The Mercedes convoy arrived at the Dragon Emperor Platform.

The manager of the Dragon Emperor Platform personally came to open the door, with Hong Ming striding out with a lofty posture, and Fan Mengxue, wearing sunglasses and a mask, also alighted from the vehicle.

“Young Master Hong, everyone is waiting for you in the Tianzi No.1 room!”

Hong Ming nodded, “Lead the way!”

Fan Mengxue entered with an excited heart.

She yearned to see Xue An, but at the same time, she feared meeting him.

Upon opening the door to the Tianzi No.1 private room.

The first thing that caught Fan Mengxue’s eye was the smiling faces of Song Jing and others.

“Welcome back to Beijiang, Meng Xue!”

“Meng Xue, we’ve all been missing you!”

Fan Mengxue didn’t heed these voices, her gaze only searching the room.

“Meng Xue!” Tang Xuan’er whispered.

Back in the class, only Tang Xuan’er wasn’t afraid of being ostracized by others and insisted on befriending her.

So upon seeing Tang Xuan’er, Fan Mengxue finally showed a smile.

“Xuan’Er!”

Tang Xuan’er nodded, then turned her gaze to the corner.

Fan Mengxue looked there too.

Finally, she saw Xue An in the corner, laughing and chatting with Xue Xiang and Xue Nian.

She trembled, and tears involuntarily began to flow down her cheeks.

At that moment, Hong Ming and others entered the private room.

Upon seeing Hong Ming, Song Jing’s face bloomed with a cheerful smile.

“Young Master Hong, you’ve finally returned!”

Hong Ming nodded, just about to speak.

Fan Mengxue had already walked up to Xue An.

Xue An sensed the presence of someone and looked up.

Their eyes met.

Xue An was first startled, then he smiled faintly, “Meng Xue, long time no see!”
