Be it in junior high school, senior high school or university, everyone would always have a few best friends around them. Perhaps this was the saying "birds of a feather flock together". However, as time went by, many people would part ways with each other. Take Qin Sheng for example. Up until now, the people he had the closest relationship with were actually the few roommates he had gotten to know in the university, followed by Hao Lei and Meng Zhe. Perhaps it was because they had started to part ways after university, had different social experiences after graduation, and also made a lot of new friends at the same time, so they had gradually forgotten about those old friends who used to talk about everything.
Time and society changed who we used to be, and eventually made us live the kind of life we didn't want to live.
However, Qin Sheng finally agreed to Hao Lei's invitation. After all, there were still Hao Lei and Meng Zhe. After all, they were here to welcome him. Or maybe he was a petty person. Everyone was busy last time, so they finally had time to meet this time.
The place to eat was at Datang Xi City on Labor South Road. It was a high-end Cantonese restaurant opened by Wu Hao's friend. Other than Hao Lei, Meng Zhe, Wu Hao, Zhao Xuan, and Qin Sheng and Han Bing, there were six of them.
"Is it appropriate for me to go?" Han Bing asked casually on the way to Datang Xi City. After all, it was a gathering of Qin Sheng's friends. She was the only outsider and woman present. She was not used to it.
Qin Sheng, who was driving along Huancheng South Road, said casually, "There's nothing inappropriate about it. It's just a simple meal. Don't think too much. If you don't feel well, you can leave first."
Since Qin Sheng had already said so, Han Bing did not insist anymore, lest Qin Sheng would say that she was petty. Moreover, a beauty like her would be the center of attention no matter where she went. At that time, it would give Qin Sheng more face.
The so-called Huancheng Road in Xi 'an was the road that surrounded the city wall. In winter, the nights were long and the sky darkened earlier. When the lanterns were first lit, the lights on the city wall were also turned on. The big red lanterns and yellow light belts made the city wall look mysterious and vicissitudes.
Han Bing, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, kept staring at the city wall outside the window. No one knew what she was thinking. She had wanted to come to Xi 'an for a long time, but she could not find a chance. She did not expect that her first time in Xi' an would be under such circumstances.
"The city wall is so beautiful at night, so different from the day. I really regret coming so late," Han Bing muttered to herself.
Qin Sheng said casually, "If you like Xi 'an, can you come here often in the future?"
"Yes, Xi 'an is really a city full of history and culture. I like this city. I can feel the precipitation of this city. Although its development is not like coastal cities, it has its own unique flavor, which is incomparable to others." As a designer, Han Bing could naturally find inspiration and materials from the history and culture of Xi' an.
After Han Bing finished, she continued, "However, I'm afraid that if I come often, Auntie Wang will find me annoying."
Qin Sheng smiled and said, "Of course not. You should treat this place as your home. Every time you come, just stay at home. Don't stay in a hotel."
"You may think so, but Auntie Wang may not, unless …" Han Bing turned her head and stared at Qin Sheng, her eyes revealing a hint of slyness.
Qin Sheng did not think too much about it and asked, "Unless what?"
"Unless I become Auntie Wang's daughter-in-law. Then Auntie Wang definitely won't find me annoying and can't wait for me to live in Xi 'an every day," Han Bing covered her mouth and laughed. Her smile was gorgeous, as if she had taken advantage of Qin Sheng.
Qin Sheng rolled his eyes at Han Bing and was too lazy to respond. He knew that this vixen had nothing good to say. However, Qin Sheng still enjoyed being teased by a beauty.
Half an hour later, they arrived at Da Tang Xi City on Labor South Road. This was also a scenic spot in Xi 'an. It was the starting point of the Silk Road and the most prosperous business district in Xi' an during the Tang Dynasty. Now, Da Tang Xi City had been rebuilt on the original site.
After finding a place to park the car, Han Bing was not willing to go for a meal. She insisted on walking around here alone. She felt that this place was quite interesting, so she stood Qin Sheng up without hesitation. Qin Sheng looked at the back view of the great beauty, Han Zhe, helplessly. He sighed and said, "Only women and villains are hard to deal with."
In the end, Qin Sheng could only find Hao Lei and the rest to have a meal alone.
This restaurant specialized in Cantonese cuisine and took the high-end route. At this moment, there were already four men sitting in the private room. They were playing and laughing while waiting for Qin Sheng. Although Wu Hao and Zhao Xuan had not contacted Qin Sheng for a long time, they were still quite familiar with Hao Lei and Meng Zhe. They were chatting happily.
Among the few people who were seated, their family backgrounds were not simple in Xi 'an, especially Wu Hao and Zhao Xuan, who were considered to be second-generation rich. Meng Zhe was the second-generation son of a low-ranking official. Hao Lei's family had a military background, so he joined the army back then. However, he was unwilling to leave the army. To him, joining the army was only to fulfill his father's wish. After all, three generations of his family would be soldiers. His sister was also in the army now. However, this was not his dream.
"Brother Lei, I heard that you also followed Qin Sheng to Shanghai. What are you doing now?" Wu Hao was a famous playboy. Back then, he also chased after Su Qin. However, Qin Sheng took the first place. After all, they were very close at that time, so he could only look on helplessly and sigh. However, he had always been resentful, especially when he knew that Qin Sheng and Su Qin had broken up. Wu Hao was very happy and continued to chase after Su Qin. Unfortunately, Su Qin did not like him at all.
Hao Lei raised his head and looked at Wu Hao. He said casually, "I'm a driver for a friend."
"F * ck, Brother Lei, are you f * cking crazy? Are you so bored that you ran to Shanghai to be a driver? If you stay in Xi 'an, we can do whatever we want for you. It will be more comfortable than you in Shanghai," Zhao Xuan scolded. This bastard loved to use vulgarities and liked to backstab people. Now, relying on his family's construction business, he already had a net worth of tens of millions. He drove a flashy blue Maserati and flirted with girls every day. Therefore, among the few of them, he and Wu Hao could be considered to be like-minded. Moreover, they even had business cooperation.
Wu Hao also echoed, "Our Soldier King didn't stay in the army and ran to Shanghai to be a driver. I really don't know what he's thinking. I say, Brother Lei, how much do I pay you every month? I'll give you double your salary. Why don't you come to my place? I'm also short of drivers. My driver is preparing to start. He's clumsy and his skills are far from yours."
In the past, Wu Hao and Zhao Xuan had always been following behind Qin Sheng and Hao Lei. Now that they had entered the society, coupled with the resources of their families, they were doing things with ease. They no longer cared about Hao Lei, Meng Zhe, and the others. They also spoke rudely. More importantly, they were showing their superiority all the time.
These words made Hao Lei very uncomfortable. However, Hao Lei controlled his temper and said, "I don't have that kind of luck. Let's talk about it when I really can't make it in the future."
"Why isn't Qin Sheng here yet? He's making so many of us wait. He's really putting on airs," Wu Hao raised his wrist to look at the time. He deliberately revealed his Grasuti watch and said in a strange tone.
Zhao Xuan smiled and said, "What do you think? He's the top student who got the beauty Su. Of course, he's putting on airs. Do you think everyone is as vulgar as you?"
"By the way, Hao Lei, have you seen Su Qin in Shanghai?" Wu Hao took the initiative to ask.
Hao Lei said honestly, "Yes."
"After Qin Sheng came back, did he see Su Qin?" Wu Hao continued to ask.
Hao Lei said casually, "Yes."
"What the f * ck. Did they rekindle their old love?" Zhao Xuan was surprised when he heard this. He then said to Wu Hao, "Lao Wu, I think you don't have a chance."
"That's not necessarily true. It's a fair competition now. I can't guarantee that I'll get the beauty," Wu Hao said disapprovingly.
Meng Zhe had long been used to the way Wu Hao and Zhao Xuan talked. He only cared about chatting with his wife on his phone. His wife was very clingy. They were already engaged, but they still talked like they were in love.
Zhao Xuan asked tentatively, "Brother Lei, you and Qin Sheng are both in Shanghai. What is Qin Sheng doing now? Isn't he great? Back then, he was the top student among us. All the teachers said that he had a bright future."
In fact, Wu Hao and Zhao Xuan knew some things from Meng Zhe. For example, Qin Sheng's adoptive father, Lin Xi, had been imprisoned. If it was in the past, Qin Sheng might have a better life than them. But now, it was not certain. For example, Qin Sheng seemed to have started from zero in Shanghai. Otherwise, Hao Lei would not have been only a driver.
"You can ask them later." Hao Lei was too lazy to care about them.
Meng Zhe looked up at Wu Hao and Zhao Xuan. He snorted and said, "You guys are so bored."
At this time, the waiter pushed the door and walked in with Qin Sheng. Qin Sheng smiled and said, "Sorry, I'm late."
Meng Zhe, Hao Lei, and the others quickly stood up. Wu Hao glanced at Zhao Xuan and said in an even more exaggerated tone, "Oh, who is this? Isn't this our top student? I haven't seen you for more than two years. I almost can't recognize you."
Zhao Xuan laughed and said, "Who do you think you are? The top student is too lazy to contact you. The two of us are relying on Brother Lei and Lao Meng today."
Wu Hao sighed and said, "You're right."
When Qin Sheng heard what the two of them said, the look in his eyes changed slightly. Just as he had expected, some people were no longer the same as before. The sarcasm in their words was really piercing.
Hao Lei was also very uncomfortable. In fact, he knew very well why Wu Hao and Hao Lei wanted to see Qin Sheng. Last time when Qin Sheng called them, they did not show up at the same time. Actually, they wanted to know how Qin Sheng was doing now and whether he was not doing as well as they were. If that was the case, they would probably mock Qin Sheng to death. If Qin Sheng was indeed doing better than them, they would not care about him anymore. The two of them would definitely hold Qin Sheng's hand and reminisce about the old days.
