At this point, there was a slight scent of gunpowder in the air, filling the ambiance of the room.
Someone rose to their feet and toasted a round of drinks to escape the awkwardness.
"It's hard for all of us to gather, so let's have a drink together!"
"Right, right! Have a drink!"
After that, everyone rose to their feet, toasted and drank.
As they savored the flavor of the wine, the mood in the room gradually began to become more tranquil and happy.
Lin Fan’s classmates began conversing with one another and even had a few laughs here and there as they went along.
Soon enough, owing to Hu Jinsong's excellent communication abilities, he swiftly rose to the center of attention in the room.
Hu Jinsong cast a peek over his shoulder at Lin Fan, who was still sitting in the corner, completely silent.
"Lin Fan, why have you remained silent?" he said, his face contorted in frustration.
Hu Jinsong's demeanor was incredibly laid-back.
His appearance... As if he had forgotten that Lin Fan publicly exposed the scandal between him and Aunt Wang.
Hu Jinsong took a deep breath and then added, "By the way, Lin Fan, you started working immediately after graduating from high school. You should have made a lot of money, don't you think? What kind of car did you purchase?.”
"Lin Fan's salary is only a few thousand yuan, what kind of car can he buy? He himself probably won't be able to support it." Wang Haoqi sneered.
Lin Fan was tall and attractive when he was in high school, and he did exceptionally well in his studies, so he could be considered a man among his peers.
So much so that he was adored by several of the female students in the class.
Wang Haoqi was envious of this success.
Now, when he sees Lin Fan in such a state of desolation, he feels the satisfaction of a lord stomping on the beggar after a period of ridicule.
"What? A wage of merely a few thousand yuan each month?!" Hu Jinsong pretended to be taken aback by the situation.
Lin Fan didn't respond to their comments.
Childish!
All of this, in his opinion, is just too naïve!
However, his ignorance does not imply that others would quit.
Hu Jinsong said in surprise: "Huh! Lin Fan, do you also wear a watch? It looks pretty good! Come and let us see it!"
"It's simply a watch, there's nothing to praise about it," Lin Fan said casually
Everyone is classmates, so don't say anything like that."
"Don't worry, we're not going to break it. Even if it breaks, I promise to compensate you for the cost of a spare “, Hu Jinsong expressed himself.
"Yes, just to take a look." Wang Haoqi said.
Shen Liang seemed a little curious, and tried to persuade: "Lin Fan, would you like to show it to everyone?"
Lin Fan had a good impression of Shen Liang, and seeing him persuading,he put the Vacheron Constantin Tour de l'Île on the table.
"There is still some weight," Hu Jinsong stated after tossing the watch back and forth numerous times in both hands.
Wang Haoqi said: "What brand is this? It looks okay!"
"My friend Qiao Bo is a watch expert, so I'll know if I send it to him." Hu Jinsong didn't ask Lin Fan at all, and directly took a photo and sent it to his friend.
He intended to utilize this to demonstrate his extensive network in order to more effectively ridicule Lin Fan.
Unfortunately, Qiao Bo did not respond to his message right away.
Hu Jinsong then said: "Let’s wait a while, he may be busy."
When Shen Liang saw the Vacheron Constantin Tourdel'Ile for the first time, he was shocked and couldn't help asking: "Lin Fan, how much did this watch cost?"
"No money was spent." Lin Fan replied.
He didn't say anything stupid because he had indeed gotten this watch from the red envelope.
"You didn't spend any money?" Wang Haoqi sneered.
Hu Jinsong responded: "It turned out to be a gift? Lin Fan, say it earlier! I shouldn't take photos and send them to my friends just now. In most cases, the presents are high-quality counterfeit products."
"Those are the types of things that my friend despises the most. When he sees the photos later, I'm afraid he will be very angry."
After Hu Jinsong finished speaking, he threw the watch directly on the table.
"Lin Fan, everyone is an old classmate, so it's pointless to put on a false watch," Hu Jinsong said in a lecture-like manner.
Yang Wenjing went so far as to hold her Gucci bag in her hand and say: "Poor-hanging-silks are the only ones who benefit from phony products! My hubby would never purchase a fake item."
As soon as she finished speaking, Yang Wenjing wrapped her arms around Du Lei's arm, rubbing it up and down with her breasts jiggling with each movement.
Du Lei felt the softness on his arms, and his anger began to fade as a result of this.
...
Lin Fan listened to what everyone said ,as if countless flies were buzzing, and finally became a little angry, and shouted: "I like it, so I don’t give a shit about what you all say!.”
After the words had been spoken, he returned the Vacheron Constantin Tour de l'Ile to its original position on his wrist.
Suddenly, the expressions on the faces of all of his classmates in the room went a bit sour.
Lin Fan's words were regarded as scolding them all!
Shen Liang felt that if he didn't ask Lin Fan to take off his watch, such a thing would not happen.
Then he said, "Now that everyone has nearly finished eating, should we go sing?"
"Go!"
"Let us go!"
All of the classmates agreed.
"I'm not going there anymore," Lin Fan said coldly.
Lin Fan attended this class reunion in large part to reconnect with old classmates.
Unfortunately, they did not come.
Lin Fan was able to finish this meal, which is already considered as face to his classmates. (T/L: face: reputation)
Naturally, he wouldn’t go along with them
Qin Yuxuan then said, "I have something to do later, so I won't go anymore. I wish you all a good time."
Many people were happy to see Lin Fan leaving, however when Qin Yuxuan, the big beauty, didn't want to go, they were very reluctant to give up, thus trying to persuade her.
So, many people spoke out to discourage her.
Regarding this... Qin Yuxuan only said that there was something at home and refused all of them.
"Do you need me to see you off?" Lin Fan asked casually.
"It’ll be troublesome." Qin Yuxuan responded with a smile.
Lin Fan was taken aback.
In fact, he just asked casually, but he didn't want Qin Yuxuan to really answer.
But, now that the words have been spoken, you can't regret it, right?
Then, the two of them walked towards the parking lot together.
This scene was all witness in the eyes of all the former classmates
"The two of them... shouldn't be together, right?.”
"How could Qin Yuxuan look at him?"
"They walked to the parking lot. Didn’t Lin Fan say that he doesn’t own a car?"
"A taxi has just entered the parking lot. He probably wants to take that taxi, right?" Wang Haoqi said.
As soon as he stated this, the expressions on the faces of all the classmates changed to one of disdain.
They believe that a luxurious car should be used to transport a lovely lady such as Qin Yuxuan back home!
Taxi? Unfortunately, this is the case.
Yang Wenjing made a mockery of the situation: "My husband sent me home at the start of the relationship, and the cheapest car is a Mercedes-Benz or a BMW. Taxi? Lin Fan is a complete embarrassment!.”
Hu Jinsong looked at the back of Lin Fan and Qin Yuxuan, and said, "My BMW 5 Series is also in that direction."
Wang Haoqi replied: "Hu Jinsong, I think you should take Qin Yuxuan home."
Although, Wang Haoqi was also fascinated by Qin Yuxuan's beauty, he only owned a 100,000 yuan Corolla, so it's hard to propose sending Qin Yuxuan back home. ($15,463)
Wang Haoqi had a strong dislike for Lin Fan. He preferred that Hu Jinsong send Qin Yuxuan back to her house, and he did not want Lin Fan to have the opportunity to speak with her.
"Yes, we can't let Ms. Qin take a taxi home, otherwise, her family would think that our classmates neglected her."
"That's right!"
Everyone had agreed.
Hu Jinsong was overjoyed, he had long coveted Qin Yuxuan for a long time.
If you send her home, and get a little closer, maybe something can happen...
Thinking of this, Hu Jinsong felt a burst of enthusiasm.
He swallowed and said, "But..."
"Don't worry, we’ll open a good private room and wait for you to come over!" Wang Haoqi said.
"This... okay." Hu Jinsong pretended to be hesitant at the situation but instead was rejoicing like a madman inside
