There’s a burst of laughter, harsh and bitter.
Shi Lan’s face turned crimson with rage, wavering between paleness and anger.
She clenched her fists, her whole body trembling.
Earlier, a group of classmates had been in touch with each other and even had reunions.
But among the group, the camaraderie that once existed between classmates had long faded away and was gone!
What remained was only competition between each other.
Shi Lan saw through these people as well.
Yet she didn’t expect that bringing Lin Tian to the banquet would allow her to see these people tearing off their masks and blatantly mocking Lin Tian and her.
However, she didn’t want to rebut and explain, as it seed too pale and powerless!
The clothes weren’t rented, yet the money used to buy them was sothing she’d rather not speak about!
"Aren’t you people enough with your ugly attitudes?"
The person sitting beside her, Mao Zitong, couldn’t hold back anymore. She slamd the table and shouted angrily.
This roar surprised other tables, and they all turned to look.
But they only glanced briefly before turning back.
"Mao Zitong, what you said is rather unpleasant!"
Gao Xiaoxiao, with a face full of disdain and smirks, reprimanded Mao Zitong, "We’re saying this for Shi Lan’s own good. As her good friend, would you really want her to fall into a pit of fire? Being with soone so poor that they can only rent clothes, do you think she can be happy? We are all graduates from prestigious universities, and Shi Lan is both talented and beautiful. Being with such a pauper might bring temporary excitent but lifelong pain! I think letting Shi Lan be soone’s mistress is better than this!"
"You..."
Mao Zitong was so furious that she almost lost it.
"What do you an ’you’? We all were just trying to find solutions for her earlier! At any rate, Shi Lan wouldn’t want to be anyone’s mistress!"
Gao Xiaoxiao’s an deanor persisted as she looked back at the classmate who had suggested Lin Tian work at his company, "Luuu Ming, you said earlier he could work at your company, how much are you going to pay him? Maybe he’s still just a student!"
"That’s right... He looks barely twenty! Is our Shi Lan into older n, younger won now!"
Another female classmate chid in with sarcasm.
Standing before the table, Zeng ii looked on coldly, with a bright smile on her face.
Zhang Gai was silent too, feeling both love and hate towards Shi Lan, also wanting her to see what cruel reality ant!
"Haha... being a student is no problem! At worst, he can work part-ti!"
"Ah, how much would a part-ti job pay!"
"Not much, not much! Earlier, the old man offered a five thousand salary, I’ll offer... five thousand and one!"
"Hahahaha..."
The laughter exploded again, and many people laughed until their stomachs hurt.
After all the talking, Lin Tian and Shi Lan were just jokes in their eyes!
"You... you..."
Mao Zitong’s eyes were red with indignation for Shi Lan.
Shi Lan sat beside, her face ashen, but didn’t know how to rebut.
"It’s alright. They’re just a group of clowns. I’ll handle it later!"
At this point, Lin Tian waved his hand to Mao Zitong to calm her down.
"Who are you calling clowns? Mr. Chen is here, Zhang Gai is here, do you have a death wish speaking like that?"
Fan Juun jumped in again, angrily pointing at Lin Tian, "Let tell you, if you don’t apologize now, don’t even think about leaving tonight!"
"Idiot!"
Lin Tian coldly glanced at the other party, choosing to take out his mobile phone and find Dongfang Yu’s na to dial.
However.
The call didn’t go through, which left Lin Tian puzzled.
"Calling for backup? I wonder which pack of cronies you can bring!"
Fan Juun sneered disdainfully.
Lin Tian was slightly silent, then put away his mobile phone, remaining quietly seated without rebutting Fan Juun’s words.
"Useless, just think about how to apologize!"
Seeing Lin Tian silent, Fan Juun’s words beca even more arrogant, aggressively forcing him.
Crunch~
Already brimming with anger, Shi Lan finally couldn’t hold it back, snapping the chopstick she held.
Usually so gentle and quiet, yet she broke a chopstick, showing how angry she was.
"Sister Laan, it’s okay, they’ll be the ones to cry later!"
Lin Tian held Shi Lan’s hand, smiled lightly, and shook his head.
"But... sigh... Lin Tian, I’m sorry..."
Shi Lan seed almost delirious with anger, her chest heaving, ruthlessly suppressing the fire in her heart, she couldn’t help but lant.
"Haha... why is it so lively here?"
Suddenly, a voice with laughter sounded.
A young man holding a wine glass stepped over.
He was dressed in a suit and leather shoes, wearing a watch that was clearly expensive, his attire was extrely polished and imposing.
His smile was gentle and his deanor was elegant, showcasing the style of a great noble son as he walked over.
"Young Master Lee!"
Seeing this young man appear, Zhang Gai and Zeng ii at the table along with their forr ntor Chen Busong hurriedly stood up to greet him, their expressions respectful.
There was even a hint of fawning.
Seeing this scene, everyone present, including Gao Xiaoxiao and the others, instantly understood that this person was not simple in status or background.
Everyone hurried forward to greet him, each with a face of nervousness and respect.
"Young Master Lee!"
Not just Zhang Gai and the others, but even many other people at different tables in the hall stood up and raised their glasses, offering different complints to the young man respectfully.
anwhile, many of them congratulated Zhang Gai as well.
"Young Master Lee, was the private room too stuffy? Sorry for not accompanying, please don’t mind!"
After making rounds toasting, Zhang Gai turned back and apologized to the young man who appeared.
"Haha... it’s lively in the hall, so I ca out for a stroll!"
The young man chuckled lightly, "And I ca to give a toast to your group of classmates as well! Today is your winery’s grand opening, so if I don’t co out to show my face, it wouldn’t be right!"
"Young Master Lee is too kind!"
Zhang Gai’s face was full of smiles, feeling his son had gained face, then looked towards Shi Lan and the others, formally introducing, "This is Lee Wenhao, the son of the Yanjing Li Family, called Young Master Lee!"
The Lee Family?!
Gao Xiaoxiao and the others’ expressions changed, showing surprise.
The Lee Family, in Yanjing, is indeed a Great Clan!
At least compared to them, that is an extraordinarily powerful family!
Even Zhang Gai’s Zhang Family is far inferior!
Everyone sucked in a breath of air, then returned to their senses, and again toasted to Lee Wenhao.
Their attitudes beca more sycophantic, each nodding and saying nice words.
Especially the female classmates, who seed eager to rub up against Lee Wenhao.
This was the son of a Great Clan, wealthy and influential, and handso, practically a golden catch in many won’s eyes.
Faced with everyone’s flattery, Lee Wenhao didn’t put on airs, toasting one by one. Then his eyes lit up, and his gaze fell on Shi Lan, subsequently stepping forward with his wine glass.
"Beautiful lady, can we have a drink together?"
Lee Wenhao’s smile was gentle and his deanor was elegant, every bit the Prince Charming. He said to Shi Lan, "My na is Lee Wenhao. You must be Zhang Gai’s classmate, right? You’re very beautiful!"
