"Didn’t you arrange to et?" Boss Pei asked while closing the door.
"She has a school reunion today and originally wanted to go with her to buy a gift for their class teacher. I declined because I was busy, but found out I was free this morning, so I ca to find her. Has she already left?"
Her best friend was already intimidated by Boss Pei, so when he asked, she blurted everything out.
The boss then realized her outing was for the school reunion, and that’s why she dressed up so formally.
The man’s expression wasn’t happy.
anwhile, Qu Fulan received a call from her best friend and realized they’d missed each other. She could only say, "I made you co all this way for nothing. I’ve made plans with others here, so I’ll treat you to a al another day to make up for it."
Her best friend wasn’t concerned about the al. Rembering Boss Pei’s unfriendly expression, she couldn’t help but say, "Your boss knows you’re going to the reunion, and he didn’t look too pleased."
Qu Fulan thought that was impossible and instinctively denied it, "That’s just his natural expression, you might’ve misunderstood."
Her friend couldn’t argue; it was just a feeling.
Qu Fulan t up with Zhou Yao and Wu Hao, and as soon as they saw her, they showed surprised expressions, "Your outfit looks great, stylish and trendy. The clothes look expensive, and the fabric is nice. Which store did you buy it from? I’d like to check it out later. Is it expensive?"
Qu Fulan was montarily speechless because her clothes were brought by the housekeeper each season and she hadn’t had ti to ask which store they were from. Unsure how to answer, she thought for a mont and said, "My boyfriend bought it for , I don’t know which store."
The quality of clothes is visible just by looking, and Qu Fulan’s outfit looked very expensive. Wu Hao looked at Qu Fulan with admiration, "Your boyfriend is really good to you."
Truly willing to spend money on her.
But then again, finding soone like Qu Fulan, most n would be willing to spend money, right?
The three started shopping, picking and choosing, and the morning quickly passed. Fortunately, they picked out a gift for their class teacher and, after enjoying so afternoon tea, headed to the hotel for the teacher’s birthday celebration.
By then, quite a few classmates had already arrived at the hotel. After graduation, everyone went their separate ways. So thrived while others struggled, but most ca for the teacher’s birthday.
With many gathered, it inevitably reminded them of school days.
Every class has its morable figures, and no matter how many years have passed, people rember them.
Qu Fulan was one of them—famous for her good looks. She matured early during high school, tall and striking, always the center of attention, the face of the class. It was normal for people to ntion her.
"Our class’s Miss Qu hasn’t arrived yet? She wouldn’t miss it, right? Did everyone get notified?" a round-bellied man spoke.
In the class, he used to be the chubby one, short and bullied before maturing. Now, he exuded a leadership aura, speaking with weight, and his query was imdiately answered.
"Zhou Yao and the others said she’s coming; they went to buy a gift for the teacher."
The round man squinted his eyes, seemingly in a good mood.
Speaking of which, who hadn’t been infatuated with a beauty in school? Unfortunately, they once didn’t match up, but now things could be different.
School girls are unaware of the world’s dangers and the importance of money. After suffering in society, they realize its importance.
This society is survival of the fittest; if you’re strong enough, you can chase any beauty, so won’t even need chasing—they’d bow before you in a suit.
The round man wasn’t interested in those clingy won, call them gold-diggers, eager to attach the mont they saw him—so cheap.
n are cheap too, what they easily get doesn’t fascinate them; conquering those who act above themselves feels more rewarding.
Without a doubt, the round man’s target today was Miss Qu.
Additionally, there were many pining for Miss Qu, including Pan Yun’s cousin Yang Zhi.
Yang Zhi and the round man both counted as successful people, albeit in different fields, yet in terms of appearance, Yang Zhi was more favored.
Indeed, when Yang Zhi appeared, many flocked over to engage him, both n and won; n for networking, won for obvious reasons.
Initially, Pan Yun planned to bring her boyfriend, but he had a last-minute affair, leaving her disappointed but resigned. However, her cousin’s presence boosted her pride when seeing so many around him, she felt inexplicably pleased.
"Is everyone here?" Pan Yun asked with implied aning.
Her good friends heard and knew who she ant, imdiately responding, "Zhou Yao, Wu Hao, and Qu Fulan are together buying a gift, they’ll probably be here shortly."
Pan Yun then remained silent.
After a while of chatting, soone shouted, "They’re here, they’re here!"
Everyone collectively looked towards the door.
Yang Zhi discreetly adjusted his attire, feigning calm as he glanced at the entrance. Among these people, he figured he was well-conditioned; the only rival was the round man, but his appearance was rather jarring. It was clear people like him were rare, thus he guessed Qu Fulan’s boyfriend was likely ordinary; when she sees him, she’ll regret.
If she turns back, he wouldn’t mind having a fling, but marrying her wouldn’t be possible—casual won aren’t worth serious consideration.
With these thoughts, they were already at the doorway.
Yang Zhi lifted his gaze to see a graceful woman in a beige coat, black hair and red lips, charming as ever, her face adorned with a subtle smile, breathtakingly beautiful.
She seed even more attractive than during their last date, captivating.
Yang Zhi felt his heart racing, like calm lake waters suddenly disturbed by a stone, creating ripples, his hand holding the wine glass tightened.
A beauty like this should safely remain at ho, what’s the point of going out showing other n?
If soone like Yang Zhi couldn’t contain his excitent, the round man certainly couldn’t contain his eagerness and went to greet her warmly.
"Miss Qu has finally arrived; everyone was waiting for you."
Such words slightly disregarded Zhou Yao and Wu Hao, but reportedly the round man was doing well, so they dared not react, feeling slightly embarrassed.
Qu Fulan, though, didn’t respond to the round, only apologized for being slow, making Zhou Yao and Wu Hao wait, as well as everyone else, apologizing again.
This managed to ease Zhou Yao and Wu Hao’s embarrassnt.
Then, before the class teacher arrived, the round man hovered around Qu Fulan, showering her with attention, while Yang Zhi looked ashen.
