The students in the hall were surprised to see Ruan Ping so enthusiastically ushering Ouyang Shuo into the hall. Besides Ouyang Shuo, only the class belle, Song Jia, received this kind of treatment.
There were a total of four tables in the hall. Ruan Ping led Ouyang Shuo to the first table and said with a smile, "Come, come. Our handsome Ouyang Shuo, do you all know him?"
Besides the class belle, Song Jia, there were also Tan Xiaoli and Meng Feifei, whom Ouyang Shuo had met when he was shopping for New Year's goods. They greeted Ouyang Shuo with a smile.
After Ruan Ping left, Ouyang Shuo didn't stand on ceremony. He smiled and chatted with his old classmates.
There was no lack of jealous people in this world. Zhao Qinglin, who was also sitting at the first table, was one of them. Zhao Qinglin's family was considered well-off. After graduation, with the help of his parents, he worked as the assistant manager of the most famous real estate company in Jiaozhou, Bingfeng Group. Among his middle school classmates, he was considered a successful person.
Zhao Qinglin was undoubtedly envious of Ruan Ping's family background. This time, he specially came to the class gathering with the intention of making friends. Unexpectedly, Ruan Ping only politely arranged for him to sit at the first table and didn't pay attention to him anymore. On the contrary, he was very enthusiastic towards Ouyang Shuo. Naturally, he was jealous.
He said to Ouyang Shuo in a strange tone, "Hey, old classmate, you're quite impatient. You put on the watch that Young Master Ruan gave you so quickly. Usually, you can't bear to buy such a luxurious electronic product, right?"
After Zhao Qinglin said this, the whole table was silent. There were two students who used to be top students, but now they were just average students. They were so ashamed that they wanted to bury the watches in their pockets into the ground.
Ouyang Shuo smiled mockingly. There were really people who didn't know what was good for them. He wasn't the nice guy from middle school who couldn't stand such provocation. "I really can't bear to. I heard that classmate Zhao Qinglin's family is well-off. Why not take this opportunity to follow Ruan Ping's example and give each student a smartphone? Good things come in pairs. Isn't that perfect? "
The students at the table immediately roared with laughter. There was no longer any awkwardness from before. They all looked at Zhao Qinglin mockingly, wanting to see how he would answer.
"You!" Zhao Qinglin never imagined that Ouyang Shuo would be so shameless. Not only did Ouyang Shuo expose his own shortcomings, he even turned the tables on him. His family was well-off, but that was only relative to his classmates. Otherwise, he wouldn't have rushed over to curry favor with Ruan Ping. It was impossible for him to take out more than 200,000 Credits to prepare a gift.
Ouyang Shuo didn't have the mood to pay attention to Zhao Qinglin's face. He picked up his teacup and leisurely drank his tea.
Tan Xiaoli, who was sitting on his right, came over and gave him a thumbs up. She exclaimed, "Amazing! Was this still the silent bookworm from before? If it weren't for the fact that I already have a boyfriend, I would have chased after you. "
"Puchi!" Ouyang Shuo choked on a mouthful of tea. Were girls nowadays so open? They were so unbridled when chatting. They didn't have the slightest bit of restraint that a girl should have.
"What kind of expression is that? What? Is it that I'm not worthy of you?! Although you're a little handsome, I also want a good figure and a good appearance! "Seeing Ouyang Shuo's expression, Tan Xiaoli was very hurt and said shrewdly.
Ouyang Shuo immediately raised his hands in surrender. "Classmate Tan, beauty Tan, I was wrong. I was really wrong. Please let me off this time. "
"Hmph, at least you know what's good for you." Tan Xiaoli rolled her eyes and moved closer to him again. She slyly said, "Hey, you still don't have a girlfriend, right? How about I introduce my Feifei to you?"
Ouyang Shuo hadn't said anything yet, but Meng Feifei, who was sitting at the side, was already unhappy. She blushed and hit Tan Xiaoli. She coquettishly said, "Tan Xiaoli, see if I don't tear your mouth apart."
Looking at the two ladies beside him playing together, Ouyang Shuo smiled bitterly and shook his head. His gaze inadvertently swept across Song Jia, who was sitting opposite him. He was slightly startled and nodded with a smile as a greeting.
Song Jia was the same as Ruan Ping. They were both from aristocratic families. The Song Family Financial Group was also one of the best in Lingnan. In addition, Song Jia herself was extremely beautiful and had an extraordinary temperament, making it difficult for people to approach her. Ruan Ping had been pursuing her since junior high school. Unfortunately, the falling flower longed for the love, but the heartless brook.
Today's class reunion was not about bonding. It was more about a trap set up by Ruan Ping, a trap to launch a love attack on Song Jia. Ouyang Shuo somewhat admired Ruan Ping's tenacity. He had diligently pursued her for nearly ten years and hadn't given up until now.
Song Jia was wearing a white beaded high-waist dress, which made her look even more like a goddess. Seeing Ouyang Shuo greet her, she playfully raised the teacup in her hand. Ouyang Shuo shook his head in amusement. He also raised the teacup in his hand and gave a toast. It seemed that they had a tacit understanding.
This scene was seen by Zhao Qinglin, who was at the side. He was so jealous that he was about to go crazy. Didn't he see that his goddess didn't even look at him? His hatred for Ouyang Shuo grew even stronger.
Before long, all the classmates had arrived and the reunion officially began. Ruan Ping returned to the first table and sat in the middle. Song Jia and Ouyang Shuo sat on his left and right respectively.
A class reunion naturally couldn't avoid drinking together. Those who were familiar with each other and those who weren't familiar with each other could quickly drink together. Recalling that period of youth in junior high together, it really had a feeling of old friends reuniting.
Riding on the coattails of Ruan Ping, there were really many people who came to drink with Ouyang Shuo. Some were sincere, and some were malicious. Ouyang Shuo wasn't afraid of any of them. When it came to alcohol tolerance, he really wasn't afraid of anyone.
Of course, the most glorious one was still Ruan Ping. There was an endless stream of people looking for him to drink. At this moment, he didn't know which table had pulled him over to compete in drinking.
"Old classmate, let's drink together!" A sweet-sounding female voice sounded in his ear. Turning his head to look, it turned out to be Song Jia who was sitting beside him. She raised the red wine cup in her hand to him.
Ouyang Shuo nodded and poured himself a cup of red wine. He said with a smile, "Okay, a toast to our goddess." As he spoke, he drank the red wine in the cup in one gulp.
Unexpectedly, Song Jia also gulped it down in a single gulp. Her exquisite face instantly flushed red.
Ouyang Shuo remembered that when Ruan Ping toasted her just now, she only took a small sip symbolically. He couldn't think of any aspect of him that could gain Song Jia's favor.
To be honest, during junior high, the two of them didn't have much interaction. One was born in a wealthy family and had a cold temperament. She was like an ice lotus on a snowy mountain, unreachable. The other was born in a mediocre family and had a heart higher than the sky. She was silent like an orchid in an empty valley.
He couldn't figure it out, but Ouyang Shuo didn't care. He took the opportunity to chat with Song Jia. After experiencing Fan Zhongyan's baptism, Ouyang Shuo's conversational style had improved a lot. The two of them chatted congenially.
At this time, Ruan Ping came back, followed by Zhao Qinglin. Seeing Ouyang Shuo and Song Jia chatting so congenially, he said with a smile, "After I left, the two of you chatted quite congenially."
Ouyang Shuo didn't know if there was a hidden meaning in Ruan Ping's words, but there was no need to try to figure it out. Everything in reality was just fleeting clouds to him. He said with a smile, "Big celebrity, why don't you sit down and have some food?"
Ouyang Shuo wanted to lightly brush it off, but someone wasn't willing. Zhao Qinglin was like a clown. He jumped out from behind Ruan Ping and said mockingly, "In my opinion, some people are toads lusting after swan meat." It was as if he was Ruan Ping's lackey, cheering for his master.
Ouyang Shuo's face sank. He wanted to teach Zhao Qinglin a lesson and let him gain some knowledge. However, he never thought that Song Jia would be one step ahead of him. She choked, "Some people are willing to be lowly, and I don't care. Ouyang Shuo is my friend. If anyone dares to be disrespectful to him, I won't let them off lightly. "
Zhao Qinglin's expression turned sluggish when he was directly insulted by Song Jia. He walked back to his seat with a face full of shame. His arrogance was completely gone, and his eyes were staring at Ouyang Shuo with a vicious gaze.
Originally, Ruan Ping didn't think too much about it. But after being messed around like this, his expression became somewhat gloomy. Fortunately, as the young master of a wealthy family, he still had the necessary subtlety. He smiled and mediated, "We're all classmates, so there's no need to be like this. Come, come, come. Let's drink together. "
Ouyang Shuo calmly raised his wine cup and drank it in one gulp. After that, although Ruan Ping tried his best to mediate, the atmosphere was still somewhat gloomy and awkward. A good gathering had become incongruous.
It had to be said that Ruan Ping was also an expert at adapting to circumstances. He took advantage of the situation to end the gathering early. He loudly announced, "Fellow students, I've already booked a luxurious private room at the KTV on the third floor of the hotel. Everyone, let's go and sing together."
Everyone applauded. Being able to roar a few songs while they were drunk was naturally extremely good.
Ouyang Shuo didn't think that there would be such an arrangement. He didn't forget that his precious Bing 'er was still waiting for him at home. In any case, the purpose of this gathering had already been achieved. Those who should and shouldn't have met had already been seen, and those who should be cherished had already been cherished. The passing of youth was ultimately like the spring breeze, gone once it was, never to return.
"Ruan Ping, I won't be going to sing. There are people waiting at home. You guys have fun." Ouyang Shuo said to the host of the event, Ruan Ping, with a smile.
Ruan Ping couldn't wait for him to leave so that Song Jia wouldn't be entangled with him. He pretended to be regretful and said, "Sigh, I originally wanted to sing a song with you. But for the sake of my family, I don't dare to keep you. Be careful on the road."
Ouyang Shuo lightly nodded his head. After saying goodbye to a few familiar classmates, he turned around and walked out of the hall. He didn't care that Tan Xiaoli, who was at the side, said that he wasn't good enough for leaving early.
