Chapter 14 Class Reunion 3

14 Chapter 14 Class Reunion 3

The atmosphere began to grow subtle.

Fan Mengxue’s tears hadn’t stopped.

Xue An sighed, “Still so prone to crying?”

In fact, only Fan Mengxue knew that she only cried in front of Xue An, and at other times, no matter how sad she was, she always kept a smile.

Because she knew, without Xue An, even if she cried, nobody would feel sorry for her.

“Daddy, who is this auntie? Why is she crying?” Xue Xiang spoke cutely.

It was then that Fan Mengxue noticed the two little girls.

“This is…”

Xue An smiled, “These are my two daughters!”

Fan Mengxue’s complexion instantly turned a bit pale, but she quickly regained her composure, then squatted down and said to Xue Xiang and Xue Anchong.

“Auntie is your daddy’s friend, I haven’t seen him for so long, so I got emotional and cried!”

Xue Anchong tilted her head and suddenly exclaimed with surprise, “You’re…Meng Xue Auntie?”

Fan Mengxue’s influence was nationwide; even a little girl like Xue Anchong recognized her.

Fan Mengxue smiled, “Yes!”

“Daddy, Meng Xue Auntie is your friend!”

Xue An nodded.

“That’s not right, I remember Meng Xue Auntie died in the TV drama!” Xue Xiang said with a puzzled expression.

Fan Mengxue couldn’t help but be amused by these two little treasures.

However, their harmonious atmosphere left Song Jing, who had been eagerly anticipating a scene, stunned.

What’s going on?

Why doesn’t Fan Mengxue care at all that Xue An already has children?

As for Hong Ming, his eyes were nearly lethal.

Nevertheless, he still tried to maintain a smile and walked over, looked Xue An up and down, and said condescendingly with a laugh, “Xue An, I heard you went missing for four years. What happened? Did you go digging through trash? How else could you end up looking so destitute?”

Hong Ming’s words made Fan Mengxue frown, ready to lash out.

But Xue An simply smiled calmly, “Hong Ming? Seeing you again is really quite the pleasant surprise!”

One of the Heart Demons that Xue An had faced when proving himself was Hong Ming.

During their school days, Hong Ming, relying on his family’s power, constantly humiliated Xue An.

Especially when Fan Mengxue was crazily infatuated with Xue An, Hong Ming became even more relentless, finding various reasons to trouble Xue An.

Now, seeing him again, Xue An was naturally happy.

Happy to resolve this Heart Demon.

But Hong Ming didn’t see it that way; he thought Xue An was conceding and thus wore a smug look.

At this time, the other classmates also noticed what was going on.

Hong Ming was looking for trouble with Xue An!

But on one side was the distinguished young master of the Hong Family, and on the other was the penniless Xue An.

So, many immediately made their choice.

Song Jing covered her mouth and laughed, “Young Master Hong, when I first saw our dear Xue An, I thought I was mistaken! So dirty and shabby, but it turned out to be Xue An! Sorry! Xue An, I’m just so blunt!”

“But now our handsome Xue An is already a daddy, and with kids to support, it’s inevitable to face financial difficulties. Young Master Hong, why don’t you give Xue An a job at your place!”

Hong Ming nodded, speaking indifferently, “If an old classmate is in trouble, I naturally want to help. I just happen to need someone to do odd jobs in my office. Xue An, if you come, I’ll pay you a salary of ten thousand yuan.”

Xue An didn’t say anything, but looked at Hong Ming and Song Jing with interest.

But his silence made Hong Ming think he was showing weakness, admitting defeat.

This feeling of overwhelming his rival in front of a woman gave him a thrill.

Just then, the food began to be served.

In order to entertain Fan Mengxue, Hong Ming had spent a large sum of money, and the banquet was indeed very high-end.

“Everyone, please take your seats! Please take your seats!” Hong Ming began to invite the others to sit.

Fan Mengxue looked at Xue An with concern, and Xue An nodded at her, then sat back down at the table.

The two young girls started to enjoy their meal heartily.

But Xue An did not pick up his chopsticks.

At this point, Song Jing deliberately said, “Xue An, you should eat, you probably don’t get to eat food like this usually, try some!”

The atmosphere began to turn odd.

Tang Xuan’er was burning with rage and stood up, ready to retort Song Jing.

However, Xue An just waved his hand and then slightly raised an eyebrow.

“If I remember correctly, you’re Song Jing?”

“Hehe, yes!”

Xue An nodded, “As I thought, same old. Some dogs really can’t change the habit of eating shit.”

That comment made many people unable to hold back, and they burst into laughter.

Song Jing’s face turned even greener.

“You…”

But at that moment, Hong Ming came over with a glass of wine.

“Here, Xue An, we haven’t seen each other for many years, let’s have a drink first!”

Xue An leaned back in his chair and said indifferently, “Why should I have a drink with you? What are you worth to toast with me?”

With that, the whole private room fell silent.

Hong Ming’s face went purple.

He had thought that Xue An was showing weakness and giving in, so he was ready to humiliate him under the guise of offering a toast.

But to his surprise, he had been boldly slapped in the face instead.

He snickered coldly a few times, “Good! Quite gutsy! You ask me what I am worth? I’ll tell you! Our Hong Family is about to start a partnership with Longtai Group, and next, we’ll be expanding into the provincial capital. Soon, we’ll become a provincial-level star enterprise, and might even go public!”

These words made Song Jing, who was listening on the side, flush with excitement.

A daughter-in-law of a publicly-listed company’s board member.

If she could marry into that, wouldn’t she become the young mistress?

Therefore, Song Jing also echoed, “Young Master Hong is indeed promising. Xue An, did you hear that?”

At this time, other classmates also began to discuss.

“The Hong Family is going to collaborate with Longtai Group? My God, Longtai Group is like a colossal enterprise!”

“Yeah! Young Master Hong is even more impressive in Beijiang now!”

Hong Ming started to feel a bit smug, and he deliberately glanced at Fan Mengxue, but he noticed that she had been silent all along, her eyes fixed on Xue An and not even glancing at him.

Jealousy burned within Hong Ming.

In the meantime, there were people eagerly trying to persuade Xue An.

“Xue An, you should quickly apologize to Young Master Hong! We’re all old classmates, and Young Master Hong is magnanimous, he won’t take this to heart!”

“Yes, yes, yes! Quick, say sorry. Young Master Hong, you’ll need to look out for us in the future!”

Xue An coldly observed, watching these sycophantic so-called classmates for what they truly were.

Then he slowly stretched, yawning long and loud.

“I take back what I said just now!”

A smug smile appeared on the corner of Hong Ming’s mouth.

Many people breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that Xue An was backing down.

Only Fan Mengxue and Tang Xuan’er looked at Xue An with concern.

Xue An spoke indifferently, “How could I describe you with a ‘thing’? In fact, you’re not a ‘thing’ at all!”
