Jingming Grand Hotel in Tianhai is a mid-to-high-end hotel, and Zhao Wantingâs class reunion is being held here today. Ęá´á´á´ Ęá´á´á´sá´ á´Ęá´á´á´á´Ęs á´á´ É´ová´l(ę°)ir(e).ná´tA red BMW parked steadily in the parking lot of Jingming Grand Hotel.
Zhao Wanting opened the door and stepped out from the driverâs seat.
After careful dressing up today, she wore a black gown, and her long hair was pinned up high, looking particularly charming.
Especially after being nourished by Ye Chenfeng the previous night, her complexion radiated with a healthy and tempting glow, unintentionally exuding a mature allure that attracted men.
Ye Chenfeng also got out from the passenger seat, dressed in a white tailored shirt and slim-fit trousers, perfectly showcasing his impressive physique.
He looked as if he were a prince charming who had stepped straight out of a fairy tale, after all, he was accompanying Zhao Wanting to her class reunion today, so his outfit needed to be more than just casual!
Following them, Tang Xin and Wang Feifei, the two girls, also descended from the backseat.
Their attire for the day was entirely cutesy.
Needless to say, the girls were naturally good-looking to begin with.
Linking arms, they were like two lively sprites.
âZhao Wanting?â A young man in his twenties approached Zhao Wanting, dressed quite appropriately himself, with an arrogant expression on his face.
When he saw Zhao Wantingâs enticing figure, a covetous glint appeared in his eyes, but it was quickly suppressed.
âZhao Wanting, is it really you?
We havenât seen each other for two years, right?
Youâre still as beautiful as you were before!â The young man glanced at the red BMW.
Back in school, Zhao Wanting never flaunted her family background, so most classmates only knew that her family had some money.
However, to the young man, seeing the red BMW, which must be at least two million worth, suggested that Zhao Wantingâs family must be quite wealthy indeed.
âYes, we havenât seen each other for two years.â Zhao Wanting nodded reservedly, her demeanor neither cold nor warm, keeping a sense of distance.
Upon noticing Zhao Wantingâs manner, the youthâs gaze shifted to Ye Chenfeng beside her.
He scrutinized Ye Chenfeng from head to toe, seeing that Zhao Wanting had gotten out from the driverâs seat so the car must be hers.
Generally, men would be the ones driving to gatherings like this, he thought.
Besides, Ye Chenfeng looked too much like a âpretty boy.â This led him to speculate: âCould this kid be a gigolo kept by Zhao Wanting?
I didnât expect Zhao Wanting to like this type.
Maybe if I put in some effort, I could get with her without spending a dime.â
His subjective thoughts had already lumped Ye Chenfeng into the category of âlittle white faces.â The young man reached out to Ye Chenfeng with an imperious air, his gaze tinged with disdain, and said, âYouâre Zhao Wantingâs boyfriend?
Letâs get acquainted.
My name is Ma Xuewen.â
Ye Chenfeng, having noticed the glint of desire in Ma Xuewenâs eyes earlier, knew this pretentious guy was no good.
Any man who dared to entertain thoughts about his woman would not be met with a pleasant demeanor from him.
Wrapping his arm around Zhao Wantingâs slender waist, he said to Ma Xuewen, âSorry, I donât make a habit of shaking hands with men, but I am still quite polite.
My name is Ye Chenfeng.â
Ma Xuewen retracted his hand, feeling embarrassed, and cursed under his breath for dealing with a pretty boy.
He said, âNo problem, no problem.
Whatâs your current occupation, brother?â
Ye Chenfeng had no intention of making small talk with Ma Xuewen, feeling a strong aversion towards him.
If it werenât for Zhao Wantingâs sake, he would have already acted against Ma Xuewen.
Not in the mood to elaborate, he simply said, âFreelancer.â
A freelancer?
To Ma Xuewen, that sounded practically like being unemployed.
He became even more convinced that Ye Chenfeng was nothing more than a pretty boy and not some wealthy heir, his disdain growing even thicker.
âXuewen, why arenât you going into the hotel yet?
Pretty much everyone is here already.â A garishly dressed woman came over, and when she saw Zhao Wanting, she let out a light âOh!â and said, âWanting, youâre here too!â
Then the woman turned her gaze toward Ye Chenfeng beside her, saying earnestly, indeed, Ye Chenfengâs looks left nothing for the female folks to complain about.
Upon seeing Ye Chenfeng, the garishly dressed womanâs eyes filled with an inexplicable sentiment, âAre you Wantingâs boyfriend?
I am one of Wantingâs close sisters from college, and I am also Xuewenâs girlfriend now.
My name is Xia Mengqi.â
As she spoke, Xia Mengqi tenderly latched onto Ma Xuewenâs arm.
When Ma Xuewen saw Zhao Wanting and then looked at his own girlfriend, all dolled up to the point of barely being distinguishable from a stylist at a hair salon, he suddenly felt a complete loss of appetite.
âMa Xuewen, Zhao Wanting, you two are here as well?
So why are we standing around like idiots?
Letâs hurry into the hotel!â Another two men and two women approached from not too far away, with the speaker being a tall, thin man named Luo Yongwang, who was the class monitor in college.
âWanting, youâre really letting us down, you even have a boyfriend now?
Who would have thought that the beauty of our department in college would be caught so quickly?
No telling how many guys will have to secretly cry in the middle of the night over this!â
The two average-looking women sized up Ye Chenfeng standing next to Zhao Wanting, thinking enviously, how did Zhao Wanting manage to land such a handsome boyfriend?
They were green with envy.
When Ma Xuewen saw that all eyes were focused on Ye Chenfeng and Zhao Wanting, he felt very uncomfortable and said, âLet me introduce everyone, Zhao Wantingâs boyfriend is called Ye Chenfeng, and heâs currently a freelancer.
I reckon Brother Ye must be jobless at home, right?
If anyone has any good job opportunities, maybe you can help Brother Ye out.
Oh wait, how could I forget?
Brother Yeâs work surely doesnât need our introduction.
Look, today Zhao Wanting came in a BMW that costs at least two million, it seems that back in school, Wanting was always one to hide her light under a bushel!â
After hearing Ma Xuewenâs introduction, everyone cast doubtful glances towards Ye Chenfeng.
Xia Mengqi, Ma Xuewenâs girlfriend, stepped forward and hooked her arm around Zhao Wantingâs, asking, âWanting, it seems your family background isnât simple, huh?
Come clean for leniency, resist for severity, what does your family actually do?â
The class reunion happened to be in Tianhai by chance, and Zhao Wanting didnât plan on hiding her family background.
She was just not quite satisfied with the way Ma Xuewen introduced Ye Chenfeng, his attitude, and his tone, âMengqi, I didnât deliberately hide my family background; you just never asked meâŚâ
Zhao Wanting briefly explained her family background, and Xia Mengqi exclaimed in surprise, âWhat?
Your dad is Zhao Qihua?
Then you are the only daughter of the Zhaos, one of the top business families in Tianhai?
Wanting, so you truly are a super-rich second generation!â
The Zhaos were quite famous in the business circles of Tianhai, and everyone present had heard of Zhao Qihua.
After this revelation, the way they looked at Ye Chenfeng completely changed, even the slight fondness some women had felt for Ye Chenfeng dissipated.
Knowing Zhao Wantingâs family background, they all assumed Ye Chenfeng must be a gold-digging pretty boy.
In these times, looks canât put food on the table.
A woman finding a man she can depend on is what truly matters.
The men present, including Ma Xuewen, all envied Ye Chenfeng for being able to depend on Zhao Wantingâs wealth.
They were willing to do the same if only they had the chance; on their faces, however, they unanimously wore the expression of upstanding moral figures, looking down on Ye Chenfeng with disdain.
âWanting, a lot of men nowadays are wolves in sheepâs clothing; you need to be careful.
But, on the other hand, since the reunion is happening in your territory this time, youâll have to foot the bill for todayâs expenses,â Xia Mengqi said with a smile.
In college, she truly was very close friends with Zhao Wanting, but sadly, people change.
As time passes by, some will drift further and further away from you, so far that they eventually exit your life without a trace.
