Haha, Diba, I didn't expect that after not seeing you for so many years, you have become so humorous. "
Li Mingrui had a warm smile on his face as he looked affectionately at Diba and teased him.
"I'm joking?"
Diba frowned and took a deep look at Li Mingrui. He felt more and more disgusted with him and said indifferently, "I only joke with my friends."
Li Mingrui's face instantly darkened.
A slap in the face, a naked slap in the face.
Even a primary school student could understand what he said. In Diba's heart, he couldn't even be considered a friend.
How could he, who had always been arrogant, bear this? He stared at Diba with a livid face and said darkly, "What do you mean?"
"Literally. Are you deaf, or is your IQ low?"
Although Xilin felt that he was bragging, as a best friend, she still had to support Diba at the critical moment. She glanced at Li Mingrui and said disdainfully.
"Xilin, this is between me and Diba. It has nothing to do with you. Go away, lest you get into trouble."
Li Mingrui scolded Xilin bluntly. Others were afraid of her, but he was not. As long as he wanted, he could make Xilin's husband bankrupt in a minute.
"Li Mingrui, who do you think you are? You have no manners. How dare you threaten me? Do you really think that I'm scared? "
Xilin had always been lawless, so how could she tolerate this? She jumped up like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, baring her fangs and brandishing her claws. If it wasn't for Diba holding her back, she would have scratched his face.
"Okay, okay, we are classmates. Why do you have to make such a fuss? Sit down and talk, talk."
Seeing that the situation was not right, the class monitor, Kong Lingxi, hurriedly stood up to smooth things over.
"Yes, we are all old classmates. Why can't we talk? Diba, I don't mean to scold you, but although you are a big star and your status is not what it used to be, it is a bit too much to say such chilling words to a classmate. I think you should apologize to Mingrui."
Sun Deqian was worried that he had no chance to curry favor with Li Mingrui. He immediately pretended to be a good person, but his position was obviously biased towards Li Mingrui.
"Who do you think you are? Do you have the right to speak here?"
Xilin was already angry. Seeing Sun Deqian ask Diba to apologize as soon as he opened his mouth, she immediately became furious and cursed.
Sun Deqian's face was boiling hot. He flew into a rage out of humiliation and said, "Xilin, don't think you can open a dye shop just because I give you some face. I usually give in to you because you're a woman, not because I'm afraid of you. If you really piss me off, I'll make you suffer the consequences."
"Hey, a lackey even has a temper. Come, come, come. I'm standing right here. I want to see how you're going to make me suffer."
Xilin crossed her arms and glared at Sun Deqian, provoking him with a face full of disdain.
"You … hmph, a good man doesn't fight with a woman."
Sun Deqian's anger surged. He really wanted to slap Xilin, this unruly woman, into the wall. But when he thought of Xilin's husband who was so protective of his wife, he immediately lost his courage. He snorted coldly with a livid face and found a way out for himself.
"Good man? I think he's more like a scumbag, right? What does the matter between Diba and Li Mingrui have to do with you? He didn't say anything, but you couldn't wait to jump out and be a dog. What are you if not a scumbag? "
He wanted to retreat, but Xilin had no intention of letting him go. She mocked him with a sharp and unkind tone.
Sun Deqian's face was livid with anger. He really wanted to teach this vicious woman a lesson at all costs, but he really didn't have the courage. Annival might not be one of the top people in Wu City, but he definitely couldn't afford to offend him. He could only pretend that he didn't hear her.
He lowered his head and pretended not to see everyone's disdainful gazes.
Yes, everyone was disdainful of him. It wasn't that they were noble, but that Sun Deqian had jumped out before them to publicly curry favor with Li Mingrui, which made them feel very unbalanced. Naturally, they were happy to see him suffer.
Moreover, since he had decided to be a dog, he would do it to the end. What was the point of being a coward after a few words? Even if they were Li Mingrui, they wouldn't raise such a useless dog.
"Xilin, you can't say that. We're all classmates. Can classmates not be considered friends? What Diba said just now was indeed a bit too much. "
"Yes, I also think it's Diba's fault this time. What's the point of saying such distant words? Apologize to Mingrui."
"Yes, we're all classmates. Of course classmates are considered friends. Diba's words are really disappointing."
…
It had to be said that humans were very realistic creatures. Although Diba was a big star, he couldn't bring them any substantial benefits other than the fame of being a celebrity classmate.
But Li Mingrui was different. First, he was a local. Second, he was the boss of a multinational corporation. As long as they could coax him, even a little bit of money would be enough for them to live the rest of their lives.
Therefore, at this time, there were really a lot of people who stood out to support Li Mingrui. There were at least a dozen of them.
The corner of Li Mingrui's mouth curled up slightly. A trace of pride flashed in his eyes. This was prestige. Diba dared to put him in a difficult position. He didn't even need to say anything. There were plenty of pawns who would come out to denounce him.
Xilin frowned slightly. Just as she was about to argue with the crowd, she was pulled back by Diba extremely calmly. He looked at Li Mingrui calmly. "I said that I only joke with my friends. Is that wrong?"
"We're classmates. Don't tell me that in your heart, I'm not even considered a friend?"
Li Mingrui said with a face full of sorrow and resentment.
"Just now, I heard someone ask, aren't classmates counted as friends?"
Diba quietly looked around and stared at a girl. He asked softly, "Now I want to ask, are all your classmates your friends?"
The girl shrank back in fear and drooped her head. Although Diba was just a star and not some scourge, at this moment, Diba was filled with the dignity of a superior in her eyes. But when she thought of how Sun Deqian was looked down upon, the girl gathered her courage and raised her head to argue. "Of course, all my classmates are my friends."
"Then, am I your friend?"
Diba looked at her with a smile. The invisible pressure made the girl tightly purse her lips. Her face changed between green and red, and she couldn't say a word.
How should she answer? If she answered no, it would be like slapping her own face. But if she answered yes, since they were all friends, why couldn't she treat them equally and favor Li Mingrui?
"In fact, we all know very well that classmates are not necessarily friends, and they may even be enemies. For example, Zhang Mei and Li Yu are classmates, but aren't they still like fire and water?" "That's not the case.
Diba didn't continue to be aggressive. Instead, he nodded apologetically at Zhang Mei and Li Yu and spoke frankly with assurance.
"Well said."
The students who didn't stand up and join in the commotion all cheered loudly. Since they didn't choose to stand up and hug Li Mingrui's thigh, they naturally had their own principles and bottom line. They were full of contempt and disdain for these guys who jumped out to hug Li Mingrui's thigh.
"Okay, okay, we are all classmates. It's just a misunderstanding. Let's stop here. Play and drink. Don't let the two of you ruin a good class reunion."
Yuan Shanshan walked over and advised in a half-joking manner, alleviating the awkward atmosphere.
Diba
Guang looked at Yuan Shanshan strangely and muttered in her heart, "Is it really as Ding Ning said? Yuan Shanshan is too abnormal today."
If it was in the past, when she quarreled with others, Yuan Shanshan would definitely stand by her side and support her at the first time, regardless of the reason or right or wrong.
But today, she didn't say anything. Until now, as if she had just reacted, she stood up and spoke. Moreover, she tried to smooth things over in the middle and didn't favor her at all.
This made her feel that there was something wrong with Yuan Shanshan. But when she thought that Li Mingrui was the man Yuan Shanshan couldn't forget, she felt relieved and thought that she might be thinking too much.
On one side was the man she had a crush on, and on the other side was her best friend. If it were her, she could only be fair and smooth things over in the middle. In this way, Yuan Shanshan's behavior seemed to be understandable.
Li Mingrui got Yuan Shanshan's subtle hint and immediately realized that he was a little impulsive and almost screwed things up. If he made Diba leave in a rage, all his follow-up plans would be in vain.
In order to carry out the plan, to ease the situation, and even more to ruthlessly trample on Ding Ning, Li Mingrui showed his signature warm smile on his face again. "Diba, I seem to have heard you say that Mr. Ding is improvising a piano piece? I thought Mr. Ding was just a good drinker, but I didn't expect him to be a creative genius. I don't know if you can let us see his new piece later. "
Although his words were very polite, people with discerning eyes could see that Li Mingrui was trying to flatter Ding Ning. The higher he raised Ding Ning up, the harder he would fall later.
How could Diba not understand the meaning of his words? His face was still calm, and he said indifferently, "I don't have that power. Everything depends on his own will."
"Didn't you say he is your boyfriend? Can't you even make such a decision? "
Li Mingrui pretended to be surprised and said.
Everyone suddenly burst into an uproar. Although they had been psychologically prepared, they still felt unacceptable when Li Mingrui directly exposed their relationship.
Diba frowned. She had said that Ding Ning was her boyfriend, partly because she had accepted Ding Ning in her heart, and partly to make Li Mingrui give up.
But she had never thought that Li Mingrui would be so sinister as to publicly expose her relationship with Ding Ning in front of everyone and attack her.
This made her feel extremely conflicted. If she admitted it, tomorrow's headlines would definitely be dominated by her scandal; but if she didn't admit it, Li Mingrui would definitely use this as an excuse to keep pestering her, which put her in a dilemma.
"In your house, can your mother make the decision for your father?"
At the critical moment, her best friend was still reliable. Xilin's extremely sharp words helped Diba out of trouble.
There was nothing wrong with this and it was a very reasonable sentence, but it was hurtful. Li Mingrui's face turned red and he couldn't say anything for a long time.
Diba glanced at Xilin gratefully. Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed Yuan Shanshan's expressionless and indifferent face. He couldn't help feeling nervous, and the joy of getting rid of the trouble suddenly disappeared and turned into deep worry.
"I don't know if his mother can make the decision for his father, but I know that Diba can completely be my home."
At this moment, Ding Ning's slow voice suddenly rang in everyone's ears, making Diba feel ashamed, happy, and angry.
She was ashamed because of the ambiguous meaning in his words. He had completely regarded her as his girlfriend or even his lover. She was happy because he had now woken up and the song should have been finished. She was angry because Xilin had finally helped her out, but his words pulled her back into an embarrassing situation.
Alas! "This enemy, does he have to make the scandal all over and confirm that I am his girlfriend before he is satisfied?"
