Chapter 622: Chapter 622: Attend the Alumni eting
The next day, Lin Dong, accompanied by Ah Lang and another person, headed for Shi County again.
They set off early in the morning, with Ah Lang behind the wheel.
Driving a Hennessy Venom GT, a car of such caliber naturally drew a lot of attention on the road.
Stopping mid-way at a service area to use the restroom, they caused quite a spectacle.
Many won ca up asking for contact information.
Both Lin Dong and Ah Lang were handso, and driving such a luxury car, naturally attracted nurous won to strike up conversations.
However, neither Lin Dong nor Ah Lang paid attention to them.
About three hours later, Lin Dong and Ah Lang arrived at the county town.
By then, it was just a little past nine in the morning.
Since they had rushed in the early morning, they hadn’t eaten anything for breakfast and were a bit hungry by now.
The two of them then casually found a breakfast spot to eat.
After finishing breakfast, Lin Dong left first.
“I’m going to attend the school’s alumni eting first, you can wander around the county town. Just co and pick
up later,” Lin Dong said to Ah Lang.
Ah Lang nodded, he was not going to participate in the alumni eting.
After breakfast, Lin Dong wiped his mouth with a napkin and walked toward County No.1 Middle School.
It wasn’t far to walk from the breakfast spot to the school.
Lin Dong soon arrived at the door of County No.1 Middle School.
Since he had contacted Huang Tao in advance, Huang Tao and his wife, Chen Jing, were already waiting there.
Chen Jing, seeing Lin Dong again, no longer had the scorn she had before.
Instead, she seed very eager to please.
“Lin Dong, you’re here,” Chen Jing said with so discomfort on her face that could not conceal her eagerness to please Lin Dong.
Lin Dong gave her a faint nod and looked at Huang Tao.
Huang Tao took out a piece of jade from his bosom, saying, “Lin Dong, this thing is too precious. You should take it back.”
This was the sa jade Lin Dong had given to Huang Tao before.
The value of this jade alone, assessed at a specialized Jade Store, turned out to be five million!
Made from top-notch Imperial Green, complented by masterful artistic carving.
Five million, Huang Tao felt it was too valuable to keep.
Chen Jing felt a pang of heartache. She had no idea her husband was going to pull this move; was he a fool? A jade worth five million and you actually want to return it?
But she couldn’t bring herself to speak out, only sending Huang Tao frequent hints with her eyes.
Although Huang Tao saw them, he pretended not to notice.
In fact, the value of the jade now was obviously more than five million. Because it had passed through Lin Dong’s hands, who had carved a Peace Amulet on it.
This jade could ensure safety. If Lin Dong were to sell it, it could fetch at least tens of millions, if not hundreds of millions.
Having given it to Huang Tao, how could he take it back?
“Huang Tao, if you keep acting this way, you’re really not considering
a brother,” Lin Dong waved his hand, insisting he keep it.
Finally, he got Huang Tao to take the jade back, and with a laugh, Lin Dong patted his shoulder and said, “Alright, Huang Tao, hurry up and take
inside.”
“Alright,” Huang Tao and Chen Jing, as a couple, led Lin Dong into their alma mater, Shi County No.1 Middle School.
Today, naturally, the whole school was on holiday.
The school was almost festooned with lights and bedecked with red banners, featuring ssages of congratulations from various organizations and individuals wishing for the successful completion of Shi County No.1 Middle School’s Anniversary Celebration.
At the school gate, one could see many cars arriving.
Most of these cars were luxury vehicles.
BMWs and rcedez-Benzes were in abundance.
Huang Tao led Lin Dong to the celebration venue.
“Because our class brought out a Tang Mu, this ti, the school has given our class a lot of face especially for the anniversary,” Huang Tao explained.
“They specifically welcod our class’ graduates to co.”
Huang Tao pointed to an area at the celebration venue and said.
There was a banner hanging above, which read, “Welco class ’15 9th graders, Tang Mu, and classmates.”
Below the banner, the area had special seating.
Such treatnt was naturally because of Tang Mu.
Clearly, Tang Mu was among the top-notch alumni at this anniversary event.
Apart from Tang Mu, there was only one academician who had enjoyed such treatnt before. But this ti, the academician was in poor health, so he didn’t co.
Huang Tao led Lin Dong to their class’ seating area.
And before they could sit down, a coquettish voice rang out.
“Eh, isn’t that Lin Dong? You ca too?” said a woman, dressed flamboyantly and appearing rather garish.
Lin Dong recognized her at a glance.
Her na was Luo Guangyan, and she used to be Tang Mu’s deskmate and good friend.
During school days, she liked to put on makeup and hung out with boys. She was one of the more liberal girls in the class.
However, she usually preferred to play with those boys from well-off families, and paid little attention to Lin Dong.
But as Tang Mu’s close friend, she knew about Tang Mu’s past crush on Lin Dong.
And she naturally did her best to sabotage the relationship.
In her own words, Lin Dong was a toad in a well, while Tang Mu was a phoenix in the sky. A toad couldn’t even match up to a chicken on the ground, let alone a phoenix in the sky.
She hadn’t attended Huang Tao’s Wedding, so she wasn’t aware of the events from the celebration.
In her eyes, Lin Dong’s plain clothes signified a man doing poorly.
She was just surprised that Lin Dong, who had disappeared for four years, would attend the school anniversary.
Lin Dong was indifferent toward her, he gave a slight nod and then ignored her.
However, Luo Guangyan wasn’t about to let Lin Dong off that easily. She suddenly snickered and laughed out loud.
“I know now, Lin Dong, I know why you ca to the alumni eting. You must have heard from soone that Tang Mu would also be here, so you ca,” she said.
“If you’re thinking of using Tang Mu to turn your life around, I advise you to give up that idea. Tang Mu did fancy you a bit in the past, but that was all in the past when she was young and naive.”
“Even back then, you weren’t good enough for her. And now, needless to say, you’re even less of a match. I suggest you better give up on that thought; otherwise, you’ll just embarrass yourself!”
Listening to Luo Guangyan’s endless chatter, Lin Dong found her very noisy.
He quietly released a bit of his Internal Qi, striking Luo Guangyan’s silencing acupoint.
The silencing acupoint could render one voiceless.
Lin Dong didn’t go overboard, just enough to silence her for a few minutes.
“Ah ah ah ah…”
Luo Guangyan wanted to continue talking, but was horrified to find she couldn’t speak.
The sound of her ‘ah ah ah’ like a mute, also made her beco the target of public ridicule.
Soon everyone started looking at her.
