Chapter 920 The young boy who happens to be a classmate
Before entering the hotel, two familiar figures came out of nowhere.
"We're here, I'm here to lead you!" Xu Yanyan greeted him enthusiastically.
"Senior Brother Chu, has the car been parked?" Xu Miaomiao looked at Chu Zihang with an earnest look, "There are too many people today and the parking space is a bit crowded. Do you need me to help you park?"
"They are..." Chu Zihang looked at Lu Mingfei. He really didn't know these twin brothers. If they were the two of them in Shilan Middle School, Chu Zihang might still remember them, but this was comparable to plastic surgery.
Even if Chu Zihang changed his appearance, it would be impossible to recognize him even if he tried his best.
"Xu Yanyan and Xu Miaomiao, a pair of twin brothers in our class, were a little... plumper in high school than they are now. It's normal for you not to have an impression, senior brother." Lu Mingfei introduced, "The eldest of these two admire you, and they also admire you.
loyal fans, their boss is Zhao Menghua.”
Chu Zihang nodded, indicating that he understood. He turned to Xu Miaomiao and said, "Thank you, no need."
Xu Miaomiao led a few people to the banquet hall on the first floor of the hotel. There was a red notice board at the door of the hall, "Shilan Middle School Teachers and Students Association."
She is worthy of the title of "Little Goddess". Su Xiaoqiang's generosity is beyond words. There are more than a dozen banquet tables in the high-end hotel, and there are well-dressed waiters at the door distributing incense to the guests... Huang He of gold bars
Floor 1916, a pack costs 100 yuan, which works out to 5 yuan per bottle. This extravagance is even more than what an ordinary person would pay for a wedding.
In fact, ordinary class reunions or teacher-appreciation banquets do not need so many tables. It is enough to invite some school leaders, impressive teachers who have taught classes, and classmates with whom you have a good relationship in the past. Even if you bring all the classmates in the class,
If everyone calls, there will only be three or four tables at best.
But Su Xiaoqiang's reputation in Shilan Middle School is too great. She was recognized as the school beauty during her time in school. However, her personality is too flamboyant and domineering. When it comes to girls, she is not as popular as the quiet types like Chen Wenwen and Liu Miaomiao. But
Her appearance is recognized, and her family's wealth is also recognized. When she was studying, she had tens of thousands of living expenses a month... Who has tens of thousands, in fact, she also has a platinum credit card that is close to unlimited. Many people used to say this
Some people in the world are born in Rome, and in this city, Su Xiaoqiang, the only daughter of the largest local mining boss, is undoubtedly the most dazzling star in the Roman Pantheon.
So Su Xiaoqiang knows a lot of people, and even more people know Su Xiaoqiang. Some girls who are jealous of her secretly say that she is a school girl and a social butterfly, but in fact everyone knows in their hearts that everyone wants to know Su Xiaoqiang, and building a good relationship with her is just a matter of dating.
Once you get into a mine, you may have the opportunity to knock down some precious stones from this mine. You may even make Su Xiaoqiang happy, and she will throw a few stones to you casually.
That's why so many people came to the banquet today. There were also many people Lu Mingfei didn't know. Some of them he didn't even remember at all. Needless to say, Chu Zihang was someone who wanted to know him when he was studying at Shilan Middle School.
There are many, but he has always been a loner. Apart from his classmates and Lu Mingfei, he can count the number of people he knows on two hands.
Before entering the venue, Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang put their umbrellas in the umbrella baskets at the entrance of the banquet hall. Several baskets were filled with various colorful umbrellas, and then they were led by Xu Yanyan and Xu Miaomiao.
Lu Mingfei found that almost everyone on the table was someone he knew, and all around him were old classmates.
The "tap" sound of high heels on the floor came. As the host, Su Xiaoqiang came behind Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang and said in a somewhat complaining tone: "You are late!"
"The banquet hasn't started yet." Lu Mingfei looked around.
"In order to wait for you, I specifically asked them to serve the food later." Su Xiaoqiang tilted his head and said to Chu Zihang, "Is there such a traffic jam on the road today? Why was it okay when I came here?"
"We didn't drive, so we walked here. It took us a while to buy an umbrella." Chu Zihang explained.
"You don't want to sit in my car when you're walking to buy an umbrella?" Su Xiaoqiang glanced at Lu Mingfei and asked in a dark tone, "Am I so annoying?"
"No, no, it's really not! I didn't know that my senior brother didn't drive, and it's hard to stop cars on the road when it rains." Lu Mingfei explained with some confusion, "It's my fault, it's my fault, I shouldn't have been late, let everyone
After waiting for so long, my senior brother and I will punish ourselves with three cups each!"
The eyes of Chen Wenwen and Liu Miaomiao, who were a few seats away from them, couldn't stop looking here. There was envy in their eyes... towards Su Xiaoqiang.
Their reserved and quiet personalities were very attractive when they were studying, but now both of them are very envious of Su Xiaoqiang's straightforward personality, who can get along with Chu Zihang and Lu Mingfei very naturally.
"Where are my uncle and aunt, have they arrived?" Lu Mingfei asked Su Xiaoqiang in a low voice.
Su Xiaoqiang pointed to a table not far away, and saw his uncle gathered around a table of school leaders. He was also wearing a straight suit. The IWC watch he bought for him was fastened in a conspicuous place in the banquet hall.
Glittering under the illumination of the headlights, a group of middle-aged men with red faces were chatting and laughing, and they were already drinking.
"Did he sober up at noon and start drinking again?" Lu Mingfei muttered. His uncle was drunk by Eriyi at noon. Now he got up after a few hours and had a second meeting with the school leaders.
I don’t know if a middle-aged man’s body can handle it.
The aunt also dressed very fashionably and chatted briefly with several students' parents. The little fat man Lu Mingze was sandwiched among several senior brothers and sisters he knew. He was wearing a small Balenciaga suit brought back from Japan. He was also quite stylish.
"Oh, adults have things they can talk about, and we also have things we can talk about." Su Xiaoqiang brought the topic back, "We haven't seen each other for a long time, right?"
"Yeah, almost two years." Lu Mingfei nodded and agreed.
After saying this, all the eyes on the table fell on him, like detectives examining a prisoner, making Lu Mingfei feel guilty.
"What...what happened?" Lu Mingfei asked.
"We haven't seen each other for so long, but it's true that I haven't seen you in two years." Su Xiaoqiang snorted softly, "The last class reunion was a few months ago. We get together at least twice a year, some
People are too busy to come, but no one doesn’t come every time...except for a certain person, who seems to have disappeared from the world."
Obviously, someone was referring to Lu who was here. Lu was sweating profusely and felt like he was sitting on pins and needles at this moment. He knew that this banquet should not come... Either keep in touch with old classmates from the beginning, or never contact him.
It will be like this situation now, becoming the most embarrassing one on the whole table.
"Okay, okay, I know you're busy, so it's a big honor to be here today." Su Xiaoqiang teased a few words and quickly handed Lu Mingfei up the stairs, "We're all old classmates, no one blames you for drinking two glasses of wine.
It’s over now.”
"It should be, it should be." Lu Mingfei stretched out his cup, and Su Xiaoqiang poured it for him twice, but it was neither full. Lu Mingfei drank it all in one gulp, and at the same time gave Su Xiaoqiang a grateful look.
As the host, Su Xiaoqiang was the most suitable person to tease him. The little goddess is very discerning. If it weren't for Su Xiaoqiang's words, Lu Mingfei really wouldn't know what to talk about with the other people at the table, because it was really too long.
Even if we haven’t seen each other, I feel like I can’t fit in, and the atmosphere will be very awkward.
"You've drunk enough, there's no need to drink anymore." Chen Wenwen said in a low voice, "No one really blames you."
With just such a sentence, Chen Wenwen's face turned red again, even redder than Lu Mingfei's after drinking.
"Yeah, it's not all easy abroad. I heard that it still takes a lot of effort to graduate or go to further studies." Liu Miaomiao also interjected at the right time, "Both Mingfei and Senior Brother Chu are very motivated.
People with deep hearts must focus on their studies, so they haven’t been home for a long time.”
Su Xiaoqiang and Chen Wenwen both glanced at Liu Miaomiao in unison, not because there was anything wrong with what she said... but because her tone was a bit too loud. Liu Miaomiao is very quiet, but she is not the kind of person who talks to the boy she likes.
The type who always blushes with embarrassment.
Moreover, the two calls "Ming Fei" and "Senior Brother Chu"... obviously can be called without titles, as if they deliberately talked a lot of nonsense just to call them.
They have been in the same class for three years and have competed with each other overtly and covertly, so the three girls actually know each other quite well. It seems that everyone has made great progress in the two years since they graduated.
Su Xiaoqiang inherited her family's business and became a truly rich woman. She dressed more maturely and smarter. Liu Miaomiao's temperament became more generous and her mind became more flexible. Chen Wenwen... has also become a wife.
Well, in terms of identity, the other two have been so far away that the taillights of the car can no longer be seen.
"I was really busy before. I didn't lie to you. I'll be the one to treat you at the next party. It's okay to give me a good meal." Lu Mingfei was afraid that the atmosphere would become tense, so he quickly smoothed things over, "By the way, I forgot to inform everyone that I was there not long ago.
I just got married, and the wedding was held abroad, so I’m afraid it won’t be very convenient for everyone.”
"Take this opportunity to introduce me." Lu Mingfei stood up, put his hands on Eri's shoulders, and said to everyone with a smile, "Uesugi Eri, my wife."
"Wow!" The Xu brothers roared like groundhogs.
Zhao Menghua picked up the vegetables with chopsticks, glanced sideways at Lu Mingfei, and said nothing.
Chen Wenwen and Liu Miaomiao were both a little silent, with faint eyes. They didn't know what they were thinking... Liu Miaomiao didn't look too surprised. Lu Mingfei obviously couldn't hide such a big thing as getting married. Someone must have informed her long ago.
, but the feeling of seeing Eriki in person is different.
This girl's temperament and appearance are so beautiful that people can't help but feel ashamed of themselves, even the former goddess of literature and art and the little piano beauty.
At the same time, Eriyi also smiled at everyone, her smile was generous yet reserved, and then she picked up the wine glass on the table and drank it in one gulp.
Damn it, how could there be such a beautiful, quiet and passionate girl? These complex and almost antonymous words can actually appear in one person at the same time.
Chen Wenwen and Liu Miaomiao looked a little pale.
"Hey, you are the only one who is married and has a daughter-in-law, so you are so rude." Su Xiaoqiang rolled her eyes, and she was the only one who could withstand the current situation, "Zhao Menghua has a daughter-in-law, but he is not as good at eloquent as you."
ah."
"I remember Brother Zhao was posting three updates a day at that time." Xu Miaomiao whispered.
"You remembered wrongly, that was Sister Wenwen." Xu Yanyan corrected.
"Okay, okay, don't focus on me." Lu Mingfei begged for mercy, "Don't waste this good wine and food. Eat, drink, and talk about happy things. You are not big now."
The manager belongs to the big boss, and I’m still a book boy, so what’s the point of making fun of me all the time!”
Everyone just started to have a real banquet. Maybe they knew that Lu Mingfei was married, or maybe Huiliyi was on the table. Then Liu Miaomiao seemed to avoid Lu Mingfei a little, and also deliberately avoided Zhao Menghua, Xu Yanyan and Xu Miaomiao.
She had nothing to talk about, so she always chatted with Chu Zihang about recent developments.
"Are Senior Brother Chu and Lu Mingfei still from the same school? Do you usually have a lot of contact?"
"Well, keep in touch."
"You will graduate next year. Have you made plans whether to stay abroad or return to China after graduation?"
"I haven't thought about it yet. I probably obey the school's assignment."
"Oh oh oh, the school also provides distribution, that's good... Actually, the recent development in the country is also very good, there are many opportunities. Senior brother, you are a returnee from overseas. You will definitely have a bright future when you return to China."
"Maybe."
The two of them chatted about each other, and Liu Miaomiao basically asked questions. Chu Zihang replied calmly, if it were someone else, Liu Miaomiao would have turned against you a long time ago. He said to you what kind of thing you are.
Just give me a cold ass?
But the other party is Chu Zihang. Everyone knows that his character is like this. He does not discriminate against anyone. This man seems to be a little world-weary by nature, which is also his charm... And if Chu Zihang is willing to give himself a cold ass,
There are still quite a few girls willing to pick it up.
Lu Mingfei looked at the dinner table with everyone present, and he was embarrassed to suddenly mention that Chu Zihang had a girlfriend, otherwise Liu Miaomiao would only be more embarrassed.
Zhao Menghua didn't say anything. He and Liu Miaomiao were already having some disputes, and suddenly interjecting at this time would completely freeze the atmosphere.
Su Xiaoqiang kept watching the enthusiastic and proactive Liu Miaomiao chatting endlessly with Senior Brother Chu's parents. She originally sneered and had the attitude of watching the show, but maybe she couldn't stand it anymore, so she asked a sideways question.
"Where's Senior Brother Chu, when do you plan to get married?" Su Xiaoqiang asked Chu Zihang, but actually looked at Liu Miaomiao.
"I haven't considered this yet, maybe after I do something in my career." Chu Zihang glanced at Su Xiaoqiang with a hint of gratitude.
Liu Miaomiao didn't ask about this matter. No matter how straight he is, he can't end the conversation with "I have a girlfriend", otherwise Liu Miaomiao will definitely not be able to stay at this dinner.
Sure enough, after two short sentences, Liu Miaomiao was petrified on the spot.
