Lin Ruoxi was not used to such enthusiasm, but she still smiled and hugged the woman. "Jennifer, welcome back to Hua Xia."
This was Chris's wife, Jennifer. The woman was full of joy as she said, "Previously, Chris said that Lin wanted him to work at Yu Lei International. At that time, I thought it was a good suggestion. You don't know, but his days in the United States are too leisurely, so leisurely that he always wants to do some ridiculous things. Letting him come back to Hua Xia to work will be a good choice. "
Lin Ruoxi had heard Chris mention that he had an affair before, so she roughly understood what Jennifer meant. She smiled and said, "I'm very grateful that he's willing to help me. Of course, you're welcome to come back."
Chris came forward and heard his wife's words. He laughed awkwardly.
Jennifer looked Yang Cheng up and down again. "Mr. Yang, you really are an incredible man. What kind of magic is it that made Lin willing to marry you? She is not an easy girl to get close to. "
Yang Chen thought in his heart, it's very easy to get close to her after drinking the drug … … Using fluent American English, he said, "This should be considered a private matter between me and my wife, she'll be shy if I tell her."
"Oh, hehe …" Jennifer laughed as she supported her husband with one hand. "You are so humorous. I have never seen Lin shy before."
Lin Ruoxi bit her lower lip and secretly pinched Yang Cheng's waist with her fingers.
At this time, a young couple with good looks and temperament also came over. The girl's face was a little round, and her eyes were big, but she had a rare scholarly air about her. The man was dressed in a relatively old-fashioned way, but he gave off a delicate and peaceful feeling.
"Ruoxi, do you still remember me?" The round-faced woman stuck out her tongue mischievously.
Lin Ruoxi's eyes showed a trace of affection. "Huang Lele, am I that forgetful?"
Huang Lele happily reached out and pulled her man. "Hubby, look. I told you that Ruoxi won't forget me!"
The handsome man helplessly nodded at his wife, then turned to Lin Ruoxi and said, "I can't do anything about her, so I just casually mentioned it. Maybe Ruoxi has already forgotten her, but she insisted on making a bet with me, saying that you would definitely remember her."
Lin Ruoxi asked with a little surprise, "You are Wang Haitao, right? Are you married to Huang Lele?"
"Yeah, you didn't expect it, right? It's not easy!" Wang Haitao put his hand on the shoulder of the owner's wife and sighed.
At this moment, everyone was chatting as they sat down.
Yang Cheng couldn't get a word in. Lin Ruoxi smiled and chatted with these people, occasionally explaining a few words to Yang Cheng.
It turned out that Huang Lele was the little follower of Lin Ruoxi during her graduate studies. But because Lin Ruoxi was too dazzling, the girl had no sense of existence. Many people even called her "the one beside Lin Ruoxi." They didn't even know her name.
Wang Haitao was a student at the Academy of Arts, but he was the only boy who liked Huang Lele. However, the Wang Family and the Huang Family had conflicts in the previous generation.
The reason was that the Wang Family and the Huang Family were both scholarly families. Their families were full of celebrities such as collectors, painters, calligraphers, and connoisseurs. One had a high-level background in the Ministry of Culture, and the other had a high-level background in the Ministry of Radio and Television. Both families were also well-known families in Fu Province. The previous generation was always competing with each other.
This made Wang Haitao and Huang Lele unable to openly develop a relationship.
Unexpectedly, a few years later, this poor pair of lovers who were implicated by the previous generation actually tied the knot.
The other young couples present were also from wealthy families or the children of high-ranking officials. If the low-key Chris was not the graduate tutor of these people, they really wouldn't be able to convince them.
However, because everyone had a good background, they talked and laughed.
Only Yang Cheng was a very inconspicuous person in the eyes of everyone. The people present also learned about the news of Lin Ruoxi's marriage not long ago. Their understanding of Yang Cheng was based on what Chris had said before. Especially when Yang Cheng said that he was the director of Yu Lei's entertainment branch, a group of people inevitably showed a surprised expression.
After all, in the eyes of everyone, this was tantamount to "living off a woman."
Lin Ruoxi's heart was naturally not very comfortable, but she was also embarrassed to say the real background of Yang Cheng. She was not a person who liked to show off, so she had to pretend that nothing had happened.
Yang Cheng was even more indifferent. He just watched helplessly as the dishes did not arrive.
After a while, Chris looked at the time and asked curiously, "Why aren't Hansen and Yaxin here yet? I didn't leave them out."
As soon as he finished speaking, the door was pushed open. Li Jianhe and Shen Yaxin walked into the room with radiant faces, greeting the crowd.
It was obvious that Li Jianhe and his wife were quite outstanding among the crowd. Many people stood up to welcome them.
Li Jianhe smiled and pulled his wife to sit down. "Sorry to keep everyone waiting. We actually arrived twenty minutes ago. We just happened to meet a respected elder on the way here. He happened to be here for dinner, so we chatted a little longer."
"The main character always has to appear last. It's only right to wait. But someone who can earn Teaching Assistant Li's respect must not be an ordinary person!" Someone immediately buttered up and asked with a smile.
Li Jianhe waved his hand and said humbly, "I, Li Jianhe, still have some face in Europe. But in Hua Xia, I have to rely on everyone's support. By the way, that elder heard that Professor Chris is here today. He said he would like to propose a toast later. "
Chris was a little puzzled. He had been in Hua Xia for a long time and knew a lot of people. He really couldn't guess who it was. He asked, "Hansen, why are you keeping us in suspense? Who is it?"
Li Jianhe answered in riddles, "You'll know in a moment, Professor. Let's start the banquet. Everyone has been waiting for a long time."
Chris chided him jokingly, then got the waiters to start serving the dishes. He also poured different glasses of wine for each person.
The group of friends who had reunited after a few years could be considered to be chatting and laughing.
The most eye-catching main characters were Li Jianhe and Shen Yaxin. After all, be it in terms of international social relations, financial strength, or domestic political influence, the couple stood out from the crowd.
In comparison, although the glamorous Lin Ruoxi outshone all the women present, she wasn't too dazzling.
When they were about to drink, Shen Yaxin suddenly stood up and raised her glass to Lin Ruoxi. "Come, Ruoxi, old classmate, a toast to you. It's all thanks to your modesty that I was able to have such a happy marriage with Hansen! "
Shen Yaxin jokingly brought it up, causing everyone to turn to look at Lin Ruoxi. Many of them sighed in their eyes.
Lin Ruoxi hadn't spoken much to begin with. After Shen Yaxin's teasing, her face was as cold as ice. She reached for her glass, trembling slightly. She slowly stood up and raised it. "This has nothing to do with me. You're welcome."
Having said that, Lin Ruoxi took a sip and sat down again without saying a word.
Yang Cheng was minding his own business, munching on half a pigeon. He even cut it with a knife. When he saw this, his eyes flashed with indignation. He seemed to have sensed something, but what made him even more uncomfortable was that Shen Yaxin was purposely poking at Lin Ruoxi's scars. From Lin Ruoxi's efforts to suppress her emotions, it was clear that she hadn't completely let go of what happened that year.
Huang Lele saw this and didn't think much of it. "But to be honest, I also thought Ruoxi and Teaching Assistant Li would be a couple. I didn't expect it to be Yaxin and Teaching Assistant Li."
"It can only be said that Yaxin is more fortunate. To be able to become Young Master Li's wife, she's the envy of others." Another woman flattered.
Li Jianhe waved his hand. "Everyone's flattering me. I'm not fated to be with Ruoxi, it's just a passing cloud. It's the will of the heavens to be with Yaxin. I just want to treat my wife well, there's nothing special about it. "
"Teaching Assistant Li, you're too humble. Last month, Yaxin called me to say that you gave her a villa in the Aegean Sea for her to rest in. It's so beautiful." A female classmate said enviously.
Li Jianhe smiled. "Money is earned and must be spent. Men earn money for women, right? It's not a big deal."
Everyone gasped in admiration. A villa worth millions of Euros? Even if they were well-off, they couldn't compare to Li Jianhe's wealth.
Shen Yaxin smiled and said, "Actually, I think Ruoxi and Mr Yang are quite compatible. A husband working for his wife, he must dote on his wife, right?"
Even though the group could tell that Shen Yaxin was purposely saying that Yang Cheng was useless, they still pretended to be confused and laughed.
Yang Cheng moved closer to Lin Ruoxi's ear and whispered, "Wifey, what if I throw a pigeon bone at that woman?"
A trace of panic appeared on Lin Ruoxi's calm face. She moved her lips and said, "I know you're not afraid of them, but Chris is treating us today, and we're all classmates. It's not appropriate for us to have a falling out. Just bear with it for now. The meal will be over soon anyway."
Yang Cheng took a deep breath. "I'll listen to you for now. If she bullies you again, I won't tolerate it anymore."
A trace of warmth flowed through Lin Ruoxi's heart. After listening to those words, Yang Cheng didn't ask her about what happened between her and Li Jianhe back then. Instead, he wanted to protect her first. It was obvious that in this man's heart, she came first.
Just as everyone was chatting heatedly, Shen Yaxin acted as if she had suddenly thought of something. She turned to Wang Haitao, who had been silent all this while. "Haitao, you're the most cultured and knowledgeable. A few days ago, Hansen gave me a gift, but we're not sure if it's real. Why don't you show it to us?"
