Chapter 51

Chapter 1: Do You Admit Your Guilt? I Admit You’re a Fool!

The class reunion soon began, but Wen Han had no interest in these strangers at all.

She sat in her original seat, while Zhao Meng Sheng, under the teasing of several classmates, finally spoke up helplessly.

“Alright, alright,” he said with a humble expression. “Actually, there’s nothing particularly good about being abroad. Of course, it’s better than at home; our development still lags behind theirs, and the gap is quite significant! I took a detailed look at Star River City today. Although the development is decent, there are still differences compared to abroad, and the quality is still lacking. We really need to reflect on that!”

“Oh~” the onlooking classmates nodded in agreement. “The well-informed are indeed different.”

“Not at all~” Zhao Meng Sheng waved his hand. “I just spent a few years abroad and mingled around Financial Street for a bit, made some pocket change—that’s all. It’s not that great over there either.”

“Financial Street?” one female classmate covered her mouth, “Zhao Meng Sheng, you did pretty well abroad!”

“Hahaha, everyone is flattering me!” he shook his head. “This time I’m back home to make some contributions to our country’s development. Even if Long Country can’t compare to other countries, I still decided to return! Although I joined a foreign nationality a few years ago, I have a sincere heart for Long Country!”

“Good—!” a few classmates led the applause, letting Zhao Meng Sheng bask in the applause and cheers.

“I’m planning to open a financial company when I return,” Zhao Meng Sheng suddenly thought of something. “What about you guys? What are you doing now?”

At this point, a few classmates spoke up first.

“I’m still in school and preparing to go abroad; I guess I’ll be working overseas in the future.”

“I’ve already graduated; although I’m fortunate to be employed at a company ranked in the top 200 worldwide, it’s still not that great. I’m dead tired every day, just earning a bit more than average.”

“I opened a snack shop; business is okay. But I’m just making some hard-earned money, nowhere near as good as Meng Sheng.”

They modestly waved their hands, but couldn’t help but show smiles on their faces.

Zhao Meng Sheng glanced around, seeing that none of his former classmates compared to him. His smile grew even wider, “Where are you all? I’m just making hard-earned money too! What about you?”

He looked around, and the other classmates awkwardly smiled.

Zhao Meng Sheng smiled, and then looked to his side: “Lin Na, Wen Han, how about you?”

Lin Na smiled slightly: “I’m still studying at Star River University.”

Everyone then turned their attention to Wen Han, the last one who hadn’t answered.

Wen Han put down her glass and calmly said, “Bar singer.”

“Bar?” some female classmates, who had looked down on her before, suddenly chuckled coldly. “Wen Han dropped out of school a long time ago, right? Bar singer… that’s quite good, haha. By the way, how about we go support you someday? Where do you sing? We can help boost your popularity.”

Wen Han coldly looked up, “Homebody bar.”

Everyone erupted in laughter, and the several female classmates looked even more disdainful.

“What’s wrong, Wen Han?” One of them threw a “concerned gaze” with a sarcastic tone. “We’re all old classmates, what’s there to be embarrassed about?”

Zhao Meng Sheng thoughtfully glanced over and quickly smoothed things over: “Since she doesn’t want to say, let’s not ask.”

“Alright, we won’t push her.” As they spoke, the disdain in the eyes of several female classmates was unable to be concealed.

Seeing everyone express disdain, Lin Na finally furrowed her brow: “Wen Han is joking; she’s currently a secretary at some group, and her salary is quite decent!”

“Secretary?” The laughter suddenly stopped as the female classmates scoffed, “Is that true?…Wen Han, you can’t keep hiding things from your old classmates.”

Wen Han coldly raised her glass: “It’s not something to brag about; it’s just a job.”

She smiled slightly and revealed the ring she had bought a few days ago.

“Oh?” Xu Hong’s eyes brightened, “Wen Han, that ring on your finger looks pricey, right? I remember it seems to be a brand from Pizza Country.”

Everyone glanced over, and only then did they notice the exquisite ring on her finger.

Wen Han remained calm and said, “It’s okay. I was in a good mood a few days ago and made a little impulsive purchase, but I actually regret it a bit~ After all, luxury items are just an IQ tax.”

She smiled slightly, looking at those female classmates who had mocked her.

Their expressions suddenly changed: “Really? For such a small ring… it can’t cost a couple thousand, right?”

“A couple thousand?” Zhao Meng Sheng snorted, “I do have some knowledge about luxury items from Pizza Country, and the version Wen Han is wearing is a limited edition exclusive to the region. The current market price is at least five figures.”

“Five figures?!” Everyone gasped.

The few female classmates couldn’t help but eye her up and down: “It’s just a small ring, and it’s not even gold; how can it be so expensive…?” Their voices gradually faded.

Meanwhile, Wen Han remained composed in her seat and suddenly picked up her chopsticks: “Aren’t you all eating?”

Her brilliant smile suddenly captured the hearts of many male classmates.

…

Around eleven o’clock at night, the class reunion finally came to an end.

Everyone began to leave, and Qincai pulled up a shared bike and patted the seat: “Lin Na, let me take you for a ride! Hehe!” He was salivating.

“……” Wiping the sweat from her forehead, Lin Na forced a smile, “N-no, thanks.”

“It’s fine, I’ll get you another one; money’s not an issue!” Qincai waved his hand, “Don’t be polite with me, let’s go to the park and have a stroll.”

“……I have something to do.” Lin Na smiled with a fake laugh. “You can go by yourself.”

“……Alright then.” Sighing, Qincai’s thick behind squeezed onto the groaning seat as he swayed off.

Watching him finally leave, Lin Na sighed in relief: “I will never believe in love again!”

“What’s wrong? Did Prince Charming turn into a greasy fat brother? Are you sad?” Wen Han smiled helplessly. “Weren’t you looking forward to it before?”

“Who knew he became so weird?!” Lin Na looked speechless. “Alright, enough about him.”

“Hahahaha…”

Wen Han shook her head and smiled, just as she was about to call for a ride on her phone.

Suddenly, a Cadillac stopped right in front of her.

The window quickly rolled down, revealing Zhao Meng Sheng’s face: “Aren’t you guys driving?”

“We drank, and more importantly… we don’t have a driver’s license.” Lin Na forced a bitter smile, “So we can only take a taxi.”

“Then I…”

Before Zhao Meng Sheng could finish speaking, Wen Han suddenly smiled and leaned her elbow on the car window: “Old classmate, are you going to give us a lift?”

The fragrance that was close at hand reached Zhao Meng Sheng’s nostrils, and his throat moved: “Of course, that was what I intended.”

“This…” Lin Na hesitated. “Is that alright? Wen Han…”

“Is it convenient for you, Zhao Meng Sheng?” Wen Han rolled her eyes and looked at him again.

Zhao Meng Sheng spread his hands: “It’s my honor to drive two such beautiful ladies.”

He smiled in his heart.

Indeed.

I wondered why Wen Han was so indifferent before; it must have been because she was angry at how cold I was to her back then, maybe even unfriendly.

But now that she sees I’m back, she still can’t let go, right?

Thinking about how such a beautiful woman would soon be by my side, Zhao Meng Sheng excitedly lifted his head: “Get in; where are you going?”

Wen Han pulled Lin Na into the car.

She fastened her seatbelt and looked at the eyes in the central rearview mirror that were watching her: “North District’s…”

After a second pause, she smiled, “Seedlings daycare.”
