Chapter 13: Class Reunion
by xennovelAt the same time Jiang Qin was taking Feng Nanshu around to eat the Zhuangyuan Hall of the Longwei Hotel in the middle section of City Center was bustling with activity.
The students of Class 2 Grade 3 gradually arrived and took their seats.
This reunion was initiated by Qin Zi’ang who wanted the best private room and ordered the best banquet.
Nowadays young people with immature values emulate their parents’ way of being and doing things. Qin Zi’ang’s father was a real estate developer so despite his young age Qin Zi’ang already had the air of a high-quality male – slick hair and face a full suit and even wearing a gold watch on his wrist.
“Everyone the three years of high school weren’t long but weren’t short either but I feel honored to have had the chance to be in the same class as you all.”
“Starting from today we are all adults so I propose we raise our glasses together but no one is allowed to drink soft drinks it must be alcohol because what we’re drinking today isn’t liquor it’s maturity.”
“I once wrote this sentence on my QQ space: ‘Drink to my life of ups and downs drink to my lonely existence.’ I’ll take the lead and down this glass first.”
Qin Zi’ang raised his glass and downed the beer in one go.
He then imitated how his father conducted business at banquets turned the glass upside down to show everyone what it meant to not leave a single drop.
Seeing this the Zhuangyuan Hall erupted in applause.
“Qin bro you really don’t seem like a student at all your every move is so mature.”
“That’s right compared to you we seem especially childish.”
“Someone likedish.”
“Someone like Zi’ang will definitely be an elite as soon as he enters society so handsome.”
“‘Drink to my life of ups and downs drink to my lonely existence.’ That’s the most domineering signature I’ve ever seen.”
Qin Zi’ang humbly waved his hand saying he was just expressing his feelings and quietly glanced at Chu Siqi sitting across from him.
Peacocks spread their feathers to attract the opposite sex and high school students acting mature is the same.
2008 was the peak of the non-mainstream era and non-mainstream quotes were also very popular. Qin Zi’ang felt he indeed had a kingly aura so the corners of his mouth were always slightly upturned.
But Chu Siqi’s expression was indifferent looking rather unenthused.
She was looking at her phone. Because Jiang Qin didn’t come his QQ avatar was also gray which made her a bit worried about whether Jiang Qin knew about the reunion at all.
Just then the door to the private room was suddenly pushed open by a chubby hand and Guo Zihang hurriedly ran in muttering sorry.
“I went to the wrong place earlier and searched for ages before finding my way here.”
“Hey Guo Zihang how come you came alone? Jiang Qin didn’t come with you?”
“Oh he went to do business he’s been too busy recently so he’s not coming.”
Guo Zihang had originally wanted to mention that Jiang Qin took a girl out to play but for some reason when the words reached his mouth they took a turn.
Hearing this Chu Siqi suddenly bit her lip her fists clenched under the table.
After their encounter on Central Street last time she had been waiting for Jiang Qin to regret it to come find her apologize and ask her for another chance.
But in the blink of an eye a week had passed. Not only did he not regret it he didn’t even send her a single QQ message.
She felt Jiang Qin had really changed and became so patient. Before he would feel uncomfortable if he didn’t chat with her for half a day but now he could endure a whole week.
Thinking of this she felt very annoyed.
How could the previously obedient Jiang Qin turn out this way?
She was clearly doing it for his own good thinking so much for him and even encouraging him…
She originally didn’t want to come to this reunion because Chu Siqi didn’t like this kind of atmosphere but she just wanted to see if Jiang Qin was as unrestrained as he claimed.
In Chu Siqi’s view Jiang Qin must be enduring unimaginable pain and the moment he saw her he would definitely be unable to resist apologizing.
But what she didn’t expect was that Jiang Qin knew there was a reunion but didn’t even show up.
“Jiang Qin is doing business?” Qin Zi’ang looked at Guo Zihang his expression a bit surprised.
“Yeah.”
“What business is he doing opening a store?”
Chu Siqi came back to her senses and let out a light chuckle “How could he have that capability? He’s just selling lunchboxes near Central Street Huiru and I ran into him last time we went shopping.”
“What? Selling lunchboxes can also be called doing business now?” Qin Zi’ang laughed. Although he didn’t say much his expression clearly showed some disdain.
The other students around also couldn’t help snickering a bit feeling that Jiang Qin was lucky he didn’t come to the reunion otherwise he would lose so much face.
Although it’s said that no occupation is nobler than another even Kong Yiji couldn’t take off his long gown so these high school students naturally also looked down on those low-end jobs. In their eyes as soon-to-be university students they were the talents of society the pillars of the nation. Selling lunchboxes was really too embarrassing.
After hearing this Guo Zihang wanted to curse.
Do you know that my bro Jiang spent 650000 yuan in one go today?
Do you know my bro Jiang is a regular at foot massage parlors?
But in the end he didn’t say these words because two days ago Jiang Qin had told him something: some people don’t laugh at you because of what you did but because they wanted to laugh at you in the first place.
Damn it was bro Jiang hinting at something?
Then isn’t he like a prophet?
Well damn.
As expected of my godfather!
But thinking of this Guo Zihang suddenly glanced at Chu Siqi across from him. He had always felt the goddess Chu was like a pure moonlight existence but today the filter suddenly seemed to shatter a bit. So goddesses also badmouth people behind their backs. Is that still a goddess?
Looks like there was a reason bro Jiang turned and left that day.
But although Guo Zihang wanted to settle things peacefully the others weren’t so willing to let go of the topic of Jiang Qin.
Besides Wang Huiru Chu Siqi had another close girlfriend named Yu Shasha who liked to be sarcastic so as soon as she heard Jiang Qin’s name she immediately jumped out.
“By the way Siqi didn’t Jiang Qin confess to you on the last day of the college entrance exam?”
Thinking of that day’s events Chu Siqi felt angry “Don’t mention that day it makes me mad as soon as it’s brought up. After his confession failed he took back the love letter and said he didn’t really like me making it seem like I was being self-absorbed. What kind of person is that!”
Yu Shasha pursed her lips “He must have realized he couldn’t catch up to you but was afraid of losing face and being mocked so he put on a brave front.”
“Yeah Huiru said the same thing.”
“Maybe it’s the same today.”
“What do you mean?” A hint of bewilderment flashed in Chu Siqi’s eyes.
“He knew he would be mocked so he didn’t dare come today.” Yu Shasha said while refilling her own water.
Hearing this sentence Chu Siqi’s tightly knitted brows suddenly loosened a bit.
Right how come she didn’t think of this possibility? Jiang Qin wasn’t really that unrestrained and it’s not that he truly didn’t want to come see her he was just afraid of being mocked!
Hmph serves him right.
Who told him to treat her that way eating some bitterness is good let’s see who will cry from regret in the future.
Chu Siqi’s tsundere side flared up and she clenched her small silver teeth tightly.
Right at this moment the door to the private room was pushed open again and Wang Huiru hurriedly ran in also apologizing like Guo Zihang.
“There was a bit of a holdup on the way I’m really sorry what were you guys talking about?”
“We were talking about Jiang Qin. He was afraid of losing face so he didn’t dare come. Don’t you think it’s funny?”
Hearing this Wang Huiru’s expression instantly froze even the motion of sitting down stopped for a few seconds.
The reason she arrived so late was actually because she ran into Jiang Qin outside.
And it wasn’t just Jiang Qin she ran into…
