Chapter 169: Class Reunion!

The next day was the weekend.

In order to get a head start, Han Xinyan went to the company early in the morning.

Shen Fei, feeling helpless, could only take the little girl to the amusement park.

They played all day long.

Only in the evening did he reluctantly send the little girl home.

Back at home, he prepared meals for both the little one and himself, waiting for Han Xinyan to come back before slowly driving to the location of the class reunion.

Dongyue Restaurant.

Although the agreed time was 7 PM, by 6 PM, more than half of the lively middle school classmates had already arrived at the restaurant.

“Boss Pei, long time no see! Didn’t expect your business to be doing so well! You even have a Hummer now! Need someone? Can I join you?”

“Old Fan, what are you pretending for? Everyone knows you have a stable job, earning at least 300,000 a year! You’re making more than I am! If anyone should be envious, it’s me looking at you!”

“Alright, alright, you two are doing well. My wife spends her salary every month on luxury bags and skincare products! It makes me anxious spending all that money each month! Sigh~”

“Well, at least you two are good. My husband lost 200,000 in business, but thankfully, he made it back in the last two months. Otherwise, I would have been really upset!”

Everyone was complimenting each other, with no awkwardness or embarrassment.

Everyone was dressed smartly, with thick gold chains around their necks and large diamond rings sparkling in the light.

Those who were doing a bit worse grouped together, trying to blend into the small groups of those who had made it in life.

Flattering comments rang out, and the atmosphere in the private room grew more and more lively.

“Hey, where’s the campus beauty, Ru Yan? Hasn’t she come yet?”

Pei, who had been basking in the compliments, suddenly asked in confusion.

“Well, I saw her location in the group chat just now, she should be here soon! Tsk, Old Pei, you still have feelings for the campus beauty, Ru Yan?”

“Of course! Ru Yan is beautiful, and her figure is great! Not just Old Pei, I would even envy her myself!”

“Hahaha, Old Pei, with your current success, do you still need to worry about not being able to chase Ru Yan? What, do you want us to help you tonight?”

Everyone teased Pei with a look full of mischief.

“By the way, since we’re on the topic, do you all remember Shen Fei, the one who confessed to Ru Yan with a love letter? That guy was hilarious. I just said it jokingly, and he really went and blocked her! Of course, he was rejected, that’s nothing surprising!”

When Shen Fei’s name came up, everyone seemed to know instinctively to focus on him.

“Shen Fei really wasted a good hand of cards! He had such good grades back then! I thought he would become some big boss! But now, look at him!”

“Tsk, to be honest, Shen Fei was too overconfident, with no self-awareness! He had no background but still wanted to start a business like those rich second-generation people. What did he end up with? Loan sharking? Hahaha!”

“Don’t say that. With that loan sharking money, he’s still enjoying life, partying and playing, better than any of us!”

“If you want to enjoy life too, when Shen Fei arrives, why don’t you ask him to show you the ropes?”

“Come on, with my cowardice, I couldn’t do it! Loan sharks? Do you think we could borrow from them? I heard that a few months ago, Shen Fei was trapped in a bathroom by those loan sharks, crying like a mess. It was so embarrassing, I regret not seeing it firsthand!”

“Is that true? I heard recently from a friend that Shen Fei drank two bottles of beer for 200 bucks! You won’t believe how embarrassed I was when I heard that! He’s such an oddball!”

“The once top student has fallen to this point, tsk tsk tsk! Isn’t he broke now? When he gets here, we should let him drink more, maybe give him a few hundred bucks to get rid of him?”

“Good idea! But we’ll need to think carefully about how to torment him when we give him the money! He’s such a coward, he definitely won’t dare to argue with us! Maybe we can even enjoy watching him get upset!”

Before Shen Fei had even arrived, everyone had already come up with ways to torment him.

This was mainly driven by human psychology, envy, and jealousy.

Back in middle school, Shen Fei was widely recognized as a promising student!

Not a single teacher didn’t praise him in class!

In their eyes, Shen Fei was like the “perfect child” that parents would talk about—smart, humble, excellent character, and admired by many female classmates.

This made the boys at the time, whose hormones were also raging, grind their teeth in envy!

The girls Shen Fei had turned down secretly resented him.

Although more than ten years had passed, and they had long stopped holding grudges, hearing about Shen Fei’s current situation sparked that old resentment.

Everyone had their own thoughts.

The female classmates were even more relieved that Shen Fei had rejected them back then, because if they had been with him, they would now be dragged down.

Liking Shen Fei? Hmph, it was nothing but a stain!

The private room was filled with noise and excitement.

Then, the door suddenly opened.

The beautiful Su Ruyan walked in.

“Ruyan, the campus beauty, you’ve finally arrived!!!”

Everyone’s gaze immediately focused on Su Ruyan.

A woman already beautiful, her looks and charm had only deepened with time and experience.

Even though she wasn’t in a prestigious office job and was just an ordinary saleswoman, no one here looked down on her.

After all, with her appearance, entering a wealthy family would be a breeze.

“Hello, everyone!”

Su Ruyan politely greeted everyone, keeping a slight distance.

As she scanned the room, she noticed Shen Fei was nowhere to be seen, and a feeling of disappointment surged in her heart.

She had to politely respond to the compliments she received, but her mind was elsewhere.

The others, however, were extremely enthusiastic.

Especially when they heard that the real estate company Su Ruyan worked for sold properties at 80,000 per square meter, their eyes widened in disbelief!

And this made Su Ruyan internally sneer.

These people dared to ridicule Shen Fei?

Their annual salary probably didn’t even reach a million!

How dare they mock someone who casually spends 20 million? They really had some nerve!

Feeling a bit speechless, Su Ruyan lost interest in staying at the event.

But, thinking about her purpose for coming, she calmed herself and stayed.
