Hehe, you are also quite graceful. No less than your school flower Little Xue! I said a few words of praise.
Oh, you are very sweet-tongued! Another girl added.
At this time, the door was pushed open, and Xu Xueyun walked in with a sour face. The voices of several people laughing and joking came to an abrupt halt. All of them were familiar with Guan Yangs character, so they could guess what he might have said to Xu Xueyun. Due to that, they all tacitly shut their mouths to avoid any unpleasant topics.
I knew what exactly happened outside and also heard Xu Xueyuns confession about what was inside her heart. If before I had only been pretending to be Xu Xueyuns boyfriend on the premise of being her friend, then now, after listening to her heartfelt confession, it was my responsibility to help her solve the issue with Guan Yang.
Where did your classmate Guan Yang go? I didnt ask Xu Xueyun what Guan Yang said, and instead asked her where he went.
Xu Xueyun felt that strange that I didnt ask what she did after she went outside, and instead asked about Guan Yangs whereabouts, so her complexion grew a bit better as she said to me, I dont know. He probably went to order food. {TL Note: Xu Xueyun felt better as she thought Liu Lei trusted her even if she talked to another man when he wasnt present. Its something like that.}
I could see that Guan Yang was making a call as he stood in a corner outside the room. Since Xu Xueyun came back, there wasnt a need for me to see what he was doing. He can hop and prance however he wants. So long as I protected Xu Xueyun, there wasnt a need to worry about Xu Xueyun getting harmed. However, it appeared my worries were unfounded as the dog wasnt desperate enough to jump over the wall yet!
Why didnt you ask what he and I talked about? Xu Xueyun finally couldnt hold back her curiosity, so she asked.
What you two talked? Werent you making him wake up from his delusion and give up on you? I said with a smile.
Xu Xueyun couldnt help but smile as she nodded.
Hah, it was all a guess on mine. So, what did you two talk? I asked.
Why do I have to say that! I obviously cant say it! Xu Xueyun looked into my eyes with an angry but charming look as she said in a low voice, We are putting on an act, so we naturally need to act accordingly!
Oh! An act, heh? I thought in my heart but didnt say anything about it, Ah, its just a small matter. No need for me to know if you dont want to say!
But, but that Guan Yang. He said heI am afraid he will try to harm you Xu Xueyun said with anxiousness.
What he I thatWhat? Did he say hes a ruthless man and threatened you to break up with me, otherwise, he will attack me? I said with a smile.
Um? After Xu Xueyun heard my words, she was a bit startled as the word ruthless man and my expression was very similar to how Guan Yang said. She wondered how it could be such a coincidence, but didnt think too much about it, Yeah, that what he said
Mentioning the word ruthless man, I couldnt help but smile as I remembered a TV serial. In the TV serial, there was a role that would always say he was a ruthless man, and then asked others if he wasnt ruthless!
What bullshit ruthless person, Wang Tianlai still got away from him! I said later.
Hmm? Who is Wang Tianlai? Xu Xueyun asked in wonder.
Only then did I remember it was still 1999, and the TV serial hadnt yet aired.
After a while, Guan Yang came back. As he entered through the door, he even nodded towards me, acting as if nothing happened. It made me a bit puzzled. Was this guy in the same league as women, changing his face quicker than one could flip a books page?
Everyone can take a seat around the table. I have already ordered, and the waiters will soon serve the food! Guan Yang stood before everyone and said.
At this time, the remaining few students who hadnt arrived also entered the room followed by Wang Yu and Zhang Lou.
Guan Yang strutted to the hosts seat and sat on it without any reservation. Among all the classmates, Guan Yangs family background was the strongest, and when they were in high school, he had been the Class Leader, so sitting in the hosts seat was reasonable.
The students took their seat at random. Other than Wang Yu and Zhang Lou, many of them had met their partners in University, so many of them werent familiar with each other. Therefore, it didnt make me look out of place even though I wasnt their classmate.
I was sitting near the door together with Xu Xueyun. Originally, Guan Yang had wanted to make Xu Xueyun sit beside him, but now, because of my unwanted appearance, his plans were dashed to the ground. So, out of some petty revenge, he arranged for us to sit at the far end.
The position we were sitting at could be considered the seat of some small-time official or some extra when considered from the view of an official banquet. I had the memories from my past life, so I clearly understood these unspoken rules and tricks played by the Aristocracy and Elite society. But the students were just University students who hadnt seen the world yet, so no one paid attention to this little detail, including Xu Xueyun.
But Guan Yang possibly came in contact with these little schemes because of his family, so he wanted to borrow these tricks and shame me and Xu Xueyun to satisfy his vanity. But since his little scheme went down the drain as no one understood, he could only give up. After all, he couldnt just go ahead and explain to everyone that we were sitting in the last seat and it was supposed to be humiliating for us.
Mr. Guan, the dishes are ready. Can we serve them now? At this time, the restaurant door was pushed open and a beautiful waitress walked in, bowed, and respectfully asked Guan Yang.
Oh, lets get started then! Guan Yang was fascinated and lewdly looked towards the big breasts of the waitress, but then he immediately took his vision back. He hadnt forgotten he was pursuing Xu Xueyun, so he shouldnt think of other women now. As for satisfying his psychological craving, it was a secondary issue. As long as he spent money, he could get as many prostitutes as he wanted.
The service of Jiuding Resort wasnt ordinary. Their speed of serving food was quick. It seemed they had multiple kitchens in their establishment! The waitress had just left when dish after dish started to get served.
It seems Guan Yang wasnt stingy with his money and spent a lot on the various delicacies that were being served one after the other. As Guan Yang looked at the salivating appearances of the students, he was very smug in his heart but also had some frustration! Originally, he had wanted to act big before Xu Xueyun and impress her, letting her experience how wealthy he was, making her adore him. He had never thought all his plans would go down the drain because of my unannounced intrusion!
It wasnt good. Guan Yang thought that letting these people eat such a luxurious meal while getting nothing in return was not acceptable. He felt unwilling in his heart! Although his family was quite rich, and he got a lot of pocket money, this class reunion already cost him all the pocket money for the semester, making his heart bleed.
Guan Yang started to plan on how to shift responsibility, and finally, his vision landed on me, but he didnt know how to do that? If he directly dumped the responsibility on me, then the others will look down on him. Moreover, he wasnt sure if I could even afford to pay!
In Guan Yangs opinion, I couldnt afford it all. So what he now thought was how to make me spend money. He wanted me to waste money and find a chance to humiliate me. As long as he could do that, he will be satisfied.
Everyone, no need to be polite. Eat and drink as much as you like. In a while, I have also arranged for other programs so everyone can enjoy! Guan Yang stood up and said with a lot of pain in his heart. However, he didnt show any of it on his face, If there isnt enough, you can get more. I will treat you all. Its nothing much.
