Accompanied by a wave of exclamations rising and falling in the restaurant, everyoneâs gaze fell upon the entrance.
A sparkling girl walked in.
She wore a well-tailored dress, its exquisite pattern shimmering under the light, showcasing extraordinary taste.
Her features were sculptural, her eyes deep as stars, her nose high and proud, her lips cherry red, each detail exuding a sense of luxury.
Tall and statuesque, her curves were graceful, her stride confident and composed.
The girl was dazzling, as if stepping out of a painting, breathtakingly beautiful.
Many male classmates, upon seeing the girl, showed an infatuated expression.
In terms of temperament and appearance, she was even more beautiful than many celebrities.
Some hot-blooded male classmates even reacted on the spot.
Fortunately, they were covered by the tablecloth, and it went unnoticed.
âHello everyone,â the girl greeted after walking in, with an air of easy confidence, âI am Chen Guoâer. I wonder if everyone still remembers me.â
From freshman to senior year, most classmates were in the same class, with just a few transferring in from other classes or schools.
Therefore, quite a few people present remembered Chen Guoâer.
Itâs just that she looked completely different from the dark-skinned, tall, and skinny image people remembered.
It was hard to compare the two images.
The class president stood up first, his face warm with a smile, âCome, come, sit here. Weâve saved you a seat specially.â
Chen Guoâer nodded gently and sat down.
Across from the class president sat Jiang Xu.
As she greeted each person at the table, finally, her gaze landed on Jiang Xu.
In those beautiful eyes, something else flickered, âOld desk mate, do you remember me?â
âOf course,â Jiang Xu smiled, âWe used to get along pretty well back then.â
âThat is indeed an honor for me,â she replied.
Fu Yanjie glanced between Jiang Xu and Chen Guoâer.
With a manâs intuition, he felt that Chen Guoâerâs attitude towards Jiang Xu was different from how she treated others.
Damn Jiang Xu.
Always a womanizer, attracting attention wherever he went.
Thatâs the kind of sin I should be taking on.
With a class reunion, and the New Year approaching, everyone naturally turned to drinking.
After a few drinks, they became even less inhibited, and the atmosphere grew fervent.
âThis one is for you,â Chen Guoâer moved to sit next to Jiang Xu.
The person who was originally sitting there went to another table to drink.
The class president looked a little displeased.
Yet, nobody noticed his gesture as he continued to drink.
He was interested in Chen Guoâer.
But the difference in Chen Guoâerâs attitude towards him and Jiang Xu was stark.
He felt jealous, but was powerless to do anything.
When a rivalâs strength is overwhelming, you canât even bring yourself to hate them.
Jiang Xu swirled the orange juice in his glass, âMy wife is pregnant, and I donât want her to smell alcohol, so Iâm substituting with a beverage.â
Chen Guoâer pursed her lips into a smile, âAlright, as you wish.â
She tipped her head back and downed the red wine in one go.
This action exposed her snow-white neck.
Her skin looked so white, tender, and tempting.
The class president couldnât help but stare.
It wasnât until Chen Guoâer finished her drink that he guiltily diverted his eyes, pretending to be a gentleman.
Perhaps from drinking too quickly, a rosy flush appeared on her face, making her even more enticing.
Chen Guoâer had a pair of very attractive peach-blossom eyes.
When she looked at you, you couldnât help but be drawn to her.
She stared intently at Jiang Xu, âYouâre a big boss now, with assets of over a hundred billion, can you give a little girl like me a leg up?â
Jiang Xu laughed, âWhat big boss, Iâm just scraping by.â
The implication was that he wasnât up to the mark.
After all, he wasnât the kind of person like Fu Yanjie whose moral compass followed his facial features.
Getting stopped in his tracks by a pretty girl.
Fu Yanjie: My reputation has been wronged.
Seeing she was rejected, Chen Guoâer wasnât annoyed and took out her phone, waving it in front of Jiang Xu, âAdd me as a friend?â
Jiang Xu added her as a friend, his WeChat name was just his real name.
âWhere did you go after transferring schools in high school?â Jiang Xu asked.
Chen Guoâer: âI went abroad to study, graduated two years early, started a business overseas for two years, and now Iâm considering coming back to China.â
âIâm in the cosmetics business, and Iâm also doing short videos. My QuickYin account is also my name.â
âIf Mr. Jiang could give me some traffic, this young lady would be immensely grateful.â
As she spoke, she pressed her hands together and fluttered her intoxicating peach blossom eyes.
Her tone carried a hint of coquettishness, hard for anyone to resist.
But Jiang Xu showed no reaction whatsoever.
After all, he had been with An Nuonuo for so many years and had long been immune.
He laughed, âWith your abilities, youâll become popular sooner or later, so thereâs no need for me to overdo it.â
It wasnât that Jiang Xu was stingy.
It was just that there were so many people present.
If he agreed to Chen Guoâer, others would also get ideas, and he couldnât possibly provide traffic for everyone.
His relationship with these classmates present was just superficial.@@novelbin@@
Hanging out for meals once in a while was fine, but expecting to gain favors from him was out of the question.
Chen Guoâer smiled and dropped the topic.
It had to be said, this woman was nothing like the quiet little girl Jiang Xu remembered from his past.
She was articulate and composed, not the least bit intimidated even in front of Jiang Xu.
When the time was about right, everyone went their separate ways and headed home.
Chen Guoâer turned down a few male classmates who wanted to give her a lift home and glanced in the direction Jiang Xu had left.
His car was worth over two hundred million, more than the net profit of two years of her entrepreneurship.
She couldnât help but think of An Nuonuo.
If⦠if she hadnât gone abroad for her studies back then.
As his desk-mate, she would definitely have ended up with Jiang Xu, and it would not have been An Nuonuoâs turn at all.
The position of Mrs. Jiang should belong to me.
At that moment, Chen Guoâerâs mind played a BGM: Iâm back home, this time Iâll take back everything that belongs to me!
It was quite windy today.
On his way back, Jiang Xu rolled down the car windows to dispel some of the scents of smoke, alcohol, and perfume from his body.
When he got home, he found that An Nuonuo had already gone to sleep.
She was becoming more and more sleepy lately.
Jiang Xu tiptoed around, careful not to wake her.
He placed his phone on the bedside table and went to take a shower.
Just a few minutes after he left, An Nuonuo woke up.
She was a heavy sleeper, but also easily awakened.
She rubbed her eyes and saw the phone on the bedside table, her face lighting up with joy.
She and Zhang Yuanyuan felt the same; being pregnant, they couldnât attend the reunion and were quite regretful.
Later, she would ask Jiang Xu if anything interesting happened at the reunion after he finished his shower.
Jiang Xuâs phone screen lit up.
He had set his phone to silent mode.
An Nuonuo picked it up and saw a voice call coming in from someone named âChen Guoâerâ.
An Nuonuo didnât answer.
However, the caller made several attempts, and An Nuonuo, thinking it might be something important, answered.
