The meal took almost two hours. At the end of the meal, Huo Lan went to pay the bill first.
"Huo Lan? Is it really you? I thought I saw it wrong."
Just when Huo Lan was about to return to the box, a strange voice came from not far away. Huo Lan looked up and saw three or four women walking in front of him. Huo Lan looked carefully and saw that they looked familiar, but she couldn't remember them for a moment.
Who is the other party?
The people on the opposite side also saw that Huo Lan didn't recognize them, and felt a little dissatisfied. The woman in charge said in a pretentious manner.
"Huo Lan, in the past few years since I have been abroad, I have forgotten all my old classmates. Me, Hu Yao, Jiang Shuyue, Zhang Yan, don't you remember?"
Upon hearing the names, Huo Lan finally remembered that the three of them were her high school classmates, but their relationship was not very good.
Huo Lan went to the best public high school in Penang. Basically, the students who can go to this school are students with very good grades. Of course, the school has several students who come in through sponsorship every year. Hu Yao and Jiang Shuyue are among them.
this kind.
Hu Yao's father is in foreign trade and has some money. Jiang Shuyue's family seems to be in the food business. In short, the family conditions are very good. In addition, Hu Yao and Jiang Shuyue are also pretty, so they became Penang after entering high school.
The man of the hour in high school.
However, Huo Lan was also one of the most influential people at that time. Of course, Huo Lan was not famous because of her beauty, but because of her academic character. She almost always occupied the first place in the grade. In addition, Huo Lan was also beautiful, so
The limelight always outweighs Hu Yao and Jiang Shuyue.
Let’s talk about Zhang Yan, whose family conditions are average, but she works very hard. Just because of Huo Lan, she never reached the top position in three years of high school. Teachers and classmates at school always compare her with Huo Lan.
So much so that she gradually became jealous of Huo Lan.
Hu Yao and Jiang Shuyue were very jealous of Huo Lan because they were surpassed by Huo Lan in terms of appearance, and because Huo Lan was excellent in every aspect, and the Huo family was considered one of the top wealthy families in Penang at that time. In the end, these three people became
My friend, Huo Lan is targeted everywhere. It can be said that all the bad memories of Huo Lan's three years of high school seem to be related to these three people.
Huo Lan only had one thought in her mind at this time. Enemies met on a narrow road. Who would have thought that the first acquaintances she would meet when she came back five years later would be these three people. Is Penang so small?
In fact, this is not surprising. This area is a high-end community, and this restaurant is also the largest and highest-end restaurant in this area. With Hu Yao's usual style, she must come to such a high-end hotel for meals, otherwise she will look very useless.
Upgraded.
Huo Lan didn't want to get involved with these people. The relationship was not very good back then, and she could still hope to become friends and besties in five years, so she just nodded lightly and said hello.
"haven't seen you for a long time."
After saying that, Huo Lan was ready to leave, but she ignored the three people's prejudices against her. Even after five years, the prejudices were still very deep. Moreover, they took the initiative to strike up a conversation and would never let Huo Lan leave easily.
"Don't leave in a hurry. We haven't seen our old classmates for so many years. Let's sit down and chat together."
Hu Yao stopped Huo Lan, her face was not a chatty expression, her eyes were full of calculations.
The Tucson Real Estate incident was a big deal back then. Everyone in Penang knew about it, and it was impossible for Hu Yao and the others not to know about it.
How could Huo Lan not see what these people were thinking, but she didn't want to waste time on these people at all, not to mention there were so many people waiting for her in the box.
"Sorry, let's try another day. I have an appointment with my family for dinner today."
Huo Lan said in a calm tone. Hu Yao wanted to say something else, but Jiang Shuyue on the side interrupted.
"Okay, it just so happens that we have a high school class reunion the night after tomorrow. Everyone in Penang will come. Before, everyone thought you were still abroad and didn't have your contact information, so they didn't call you. This time it just so happens that you will also come the day after tomorrow.
come together."
With that said, Jiang Shuyue took out her mobile phone and continued to say for fear of Huo Lan's rejection.
"What's your mobile phone number? We'll add WeChat and add you to the class group soon. Everyone will be very happy to know that you are back."
Hu Yao must have known Jiang Shuyue's intention, and she nodded her head in encouragement.
"Yes, why did I forget this? Aren't you and Zhou Yueyi good friends? She will also come. I believe she will be very happy to know that you are also attending the class reunion."
Zhou Yueyi was one of Huo Lan's few good friends. However, after the Huo family's accident, she took her mother abroad and gradually lost contact. It wasn't that Zhou Yueyi was snobbish, but that Huo Lan was too busy during that time.
I worked fourteen to five hours a day and had no time to communicate with Zhou Yueyi. Gradually, my relationship became estranged.
Later, Huo Lan returned to Kyoto and thought about contacting Zhou Yueyi again, but she was afraid that after not seeing each other for a few years, the relationship would fade away, and she was afraid of destroying the friendship in her heart, so she has not contacted Zhou Yueyi until now.
Zhang Yan on the side also came over and said with her mobile phone.
"Huo Lan, what's your number? I'll call you and save it. I'll pull you into the class group soon. It's just the Chinese New Year and many classmates haven't left Penang yet. Everyone misses you."
Zhang Yan was born in hardship, but she managed to get into a prestigious university through her own efforts. After graduation, she returned to Penang and is now the HR director of a technology company in Penang. She seems to have a boyfriend with good conditions.
Compared with Hu Yao and Jiang Shuyue who showed their displeasure towards Huo Lan on their faces, Zhang Yan knew how to hide their emotions better, but Huo Lan would not be deceived by this illusion. Because of her grades, Zhang Yan had to secretly
Comparing her to her, the inner jealousy and inferiority made them unable to be friends after all.
Zhang Yan acted particularly kindly at this time, but Huo Lan knew very well that she was just trying to make Huo Lan lower his guard. This was Zhang Yan's usual calculation.
Huo Lan originally wanted to ignore these three people, but now that he heard Zhou Yueyi, he felt a little shaken. After thinking about it, he gave his number to Zhang Yan. Zhang Yan was afraid that Huo Lan was giving a fake number.
After dialing the number specially, he saw Huo Lan's cell phone ringing, then he smiled and said.
"Okay, I'll save it. This is my mobile phone number. I'll contact you often in the future. Your WeChat number must be the same. I'll add you right away."
With that said, Huo Lan's WeChat message also buzzed. Under the gazes of the three people, Huo Lan passed Zhang Yan's friend application and was then pulled into the class group.
After finishing all this, Huo Lan looked at the time and was thinking of finding a reason to get rid of these three people, when Zhou Qi happened to walk out of the box.
"Sister, why have you been out for so long? These people are..."
Zhou Qi saw three strange women around Huo Lan and looked at them curiously.
"I met my former high school classmate by chance."
After saying that, Huo Lan looked at Hu Yao and the others and said.
"Sorry, I'll leave now. I'll contact you via WeChat when you have time."
Hu Yao and the others had achieved their goal, so they had no reason to pester Huo Lan and said hypocritically one by one.
"Okay, by the way, Huo Lan, don't forget the class reunion the day after tomorrow. I will send you the time and place of the reunion on WeChat later."
Huo Lan also smiled hypocritically, nodded, and then walked to the box with Zhou Qi.
"Sister, are you really smiling? Are they really your high school classmates?"
After walking far away, Zhou Qi raised his eyebrows and said, although he is still studying, university is also a small society, and interpersonal communication is also extremely complicated.
Huo Lan heard her brother's joke, glared at him and said.
"The classmates are real classmates, but the relationship is really not very good. I didn't recognize them at all just now. The one in red is the eldest lady from Tianyu Trading. I heard that Tianyu Trading has done a lot in recent years.
"
When Zhou Qi heard this, he raised his eyebrows and said.
"It turns out it's her. No wonder she looks familiar. Isn't she now a host on Penang TV? She's quite a celebrity in Penang. It seems that my husband's family is quite rich."
Zhou Qi remembered who Hu Yao was and felt familiar just now. Huo Lan said something after hearing this.
"I didn't expect her to get married so early."
"Sister, what you said is that you are a mother of two children. It's not too early for her. Moreover, I heard that it is a family marriage, and the husband's surname seems to be He."
When Huo Lan heard this, a familiar name flashed in his mind and he blurted it out.
"He Yuanzhou?"
"Yes, that's him. No, sister, how do you know this person? He is the eldest son of the He family. The He family moved to the financial industry two years ago, but it became very prosperous. Now it is considered one of the top ten in Penang.
One of the richest people."
Zhou Qi gossiped about interesting things in Penang, but Huo Lan raised her lips slightly. She probably guessed why Hu Yao invited her to attend the class reunion the day after tomorrow. Most likely, she wanted to take the opportunity to seek justice for some disputes in high school.
However, Huo Lan just thought about it for a moment and forgot about it. As for the class reunion the day after tomorrow, of course she would go. As for what Hu Yao and the others wanted to do, Huo Lan didn't bother to think about it.
