Tao Ying walked towards Xiao Zheng like a moon surrounded by stars. Her gaze was so sharp that even Blue Heart felt her scalp go numb. What about Xiao Zheng?
However, as Xiao Zheng's girlfriend, Blue Heart had the duty and responsibility to stand in front of Xiao Zheng. No matter how gentle she was, she would not allow anyone to bully Xiao Zheng in front of her!
As Tao Ying aggressively walked towards Xiao Zheng, Blue Heart tilted her body and stood to the left of Xiao Zheng, facing Tao Ying's storm with him. Her eyes were filled with determination, and she vowed to compete with Tao Ying, who had married a good husband and was rich and overbearing.
"Tao Ying, what took you so long? I was just about to give you a call." Zhang Lan walked over with a smile.
As the former class monitor, Zhang Lan did not want the class reunion to become a battlefield. She also did not want Xiao Zheng, who had not appeared in public for many years, to be chased out of the class circle by Tao Ying.
Indeed, Xiao Zheng had been too arrogant back then. He had not thought things through, and he was impulsive and unruly. However, so many years had passed, and even if there had been some conflicts, there was no need for them to fight and part on bad terms at a class reunion, right?
As a woman who had been in politics for a long time, Zhang Lan understood Tao Ying's personality. She could easily tell how much hatred Tao Ying had towards Xiao Zheng. However, at this critical moment, she still stepped forward, hoping that Tao Ying would give her some face and not make things difficult for Xiao Zheng in front of so many old classmates.
However, she had underestimated Tao Ying's hatred towards Xiao Zheng. She had also forgotten how Tao Ying had done things in the past.
What kind of woman was Tao Ying? If she wanted something, she would do anything to obtain it. Even if she could not obtain it, she would not allow others to touch it. This was why she had become the public enemy of many of her female classmates in high school.
In her three years in high school, she had destroyed countless couples. She was even known as the Widow Maker, the bane of women.
"Class Monitor Zhang, you really know how to conduct yourself." Tao Ying walked up and looked at Zhang Lan with disdain. "I remember that Xiao Zheng had quite a bit of enmity with you back then. Are you really trying to smooth things over for him, or are you hinting to me not to worry? "
Zhang Lan smiled and said, "I don't remember what happened when I was a student. Besides, we were too young at that time. Even if there was a small conflict, there was no need to remember it until today. "
"Are you saying that I'm narrow-minded?" Tao Ying said in a strange tone. "Do you think that I'm holding a grudge against my old classmate?"
"That's not what I mean." The aggressive Tao Ying made Zhang Lan feel quite indignant. She shook her head and said. "I just hope that you can reduce the problem to a small one and not affect the harmony between the students. After all, it's not easy for everyone to gather together. It's only once a year, so there's no need to make it so stiff. "
"What does it matter?" A wisp of coldness arose on the corners of Tao Ying's mouth, and she spoke with hostility. "If I can gather everyone together today, I can do the same tomorrow. So what if we have to gather for a month? Don't tell me that I'm going to swallow this insult and humiliation when I'm spending money on this party? "
"It's only a million each time. I can still afford it." Tao Ying picked up a glass of red wine and leisurely walked past Zhang Lan, who had an awkward expression on her face. Her sharp gaze landed on Xiao Zheng playfully. "Xiao Zheng, do you still remember your little sister?"
"I remember." Xiao Zheng shrugged. "You were the gold-digger who tried to seduce me to buy you Nike running shoes. I haven't seen you for so many years, yet you're still so materialistic. It's rare to see you being so single-minded. "
Tao Ying's expression flickered when she heard that. Her eyes were vicious as she said, "I haven't seen you for so many years, and your mouth is still as cheap as ever. You must have suffered a lot these years, right? "
"Don't worry about me. I've been living well these years. If I hadn't met you, I wouldn't have thought that I'd still be so elegant and eloquent." Xiao Zheng lit up a cigarette and playfully said. "On the contrary, it's you. Although you were a little slutty back then, you were still a little beauty. What's wrong with you now? Even heavy makeup can't hide your old age. Are you wearing so many stones around your neck to hide the emptiness in your heart or to fill your thirst? "
The sharp-tongued Xiao Zheng made everyone feel refreshed. Even Zhang Lan, who was in charge of administration, was shocked. This Xiao Zheng … how could he still be so eloquent after so many years? He was even more eloquent than he was back then.
Thinking of this, Zhang Lan rejoiced. It was fortunate that Xiao Zheng hadn't said those malicious words to her back then. Otherwise, wouldn't she have been so sarcastic that she would have jumped into a river?
It had to be known that back then, no matter how hard she worked, her total score was ten or so points lower than Xiao Zheng's. To Zhang Lan, who wasn't biased, this was a great humiliation.
Even Blue Heart, who had wanted to stand up for Xiao Zheng, was stunned. She felt that Xiao Zheng didn't even need to stand up for himself to easily control the situation. She couldn't help but reveal a look of worship in her eyes, and her love for Xiao Zheng increased.
He was still so outstanding, just like back then. No matter who he was in front of, he would always be able to talk and laugh, and he wouldn't be stumped by anyone or anything. This was especially so when Xiao Zheng had unintentionally blocked half of Blue Heart's body, making her feel Xiao Zheng's love and care for her.
Tao Ying finally couldn't hold it in anymore. His heart was filled with rage as he glared viciously at Xiao Zheng. He said in a cold voice, "Living a good life? From what I can see, your clothes don't even add up to a thousand dollars. You call this living well? Do you know what the prices of goods are now? Do you know that a thousand dollars can't even buy you a decent dinner at Mingzhu? Xiao Zheng, back then you were already so good at acting, but now you're even better at acting than before. Wake up, look at your old classmates. Which of these classmates that you looked down on isn't living better than you? Where did you get the courage to act so arrogantly in front of them? Are you trying to hide your inferiority complex? Don't worry, they definitely won't look down on you because you're poor. Haven't you noticed? If I didn't remind them, they wouldn't even be able to see your existence. "
Many of her old classmates secretly cheered, as if Tao Ying had said what they were thinking. All of their expressions were emotional, as if they could sympathize with her.
That's right. What right do you, Xiao Zheng, have to be arrogant in front of me? Are you doing better than me? Driving a more expensive car than me? Or living in a bigger house than me? Looking at your cheap clothes, even if you used your butt to think, you would know that you're poor and have no achievements. Where did you get the courage to act so arrogantly in front of me? Do you think you're still in high school? Do you think you're still that little tyrant from back then?
Wake up!
Your era has already passed!
No one cares about how good your grades are, or how many points you get in every exam! You have no money, you have no achievements, so what right do you have to act so arrogantly here?
Right now, you're just trash, a piece of trash, an incompetent person with no value at all!
The old classmates' gazes were filled with mockery and disdain. They were throwing stones at him while he was down, adding oil to the fire. It was as if if they didn't completely tear apart Xiao Zheng's pride, they wouldn't be able to make up for the attention that Xiao Zheng had stolen from them all those years ago.
The atmosphere was extremely oppressive and vicious. Even though Blue Heart wasn't the person involved, she could still feel the dense malice. She knew that right now, Xiao Zheng must be feeling extremely terrible, and he must be living a life worse than death. She really regretted bringing Xiao Zheng to this reunion. Her heart ached for Xiao Zheng, and she was about to charge forward to reason with Tao Ying and announce her relationship with Xiao Zheng. She gritted her teeth and was about to charge forward to reason with Tao Ying and announce her relationship with Xiao Zheng. Even if this would cause others to talk about her and make Tao Ying laugh at Xiao Zheng for living off a woman and slander him for being a good-for-nothing who relied on a woman, she really couldn't take it anymore. She didn't want to take it anymore.
However, before she could step forward, a hearty laughter sounded out from not too far away. From the voice, it seemed to be a middle-aged man. From the looks of it, this middle-aged man was followed by close to 30 men in suits. They were either the same age as the middle-aged man, or had white hair and seemed to have experienced the vicissitudes of life. However, without exception, they all followed behind the middle-aged man with an expression of extreme reverence. They were abnormally respectful and even reserved.
Meanwhile, the middle-aged man walked towards the gathering with a bright smile on his face. He said to Xiao Zheng in an extremely friendly manner, "Brother Xiao, why have you come here to hide? Have you been very busy recently? Why don't I see you coming to my house to drink tea? Could it be that you think I'm too old and we don't have common topics to talk about? "
