Xie Yutong bit her lips as she sensed everyone’s gazes. She suddenly stood up to say something, but Zhuang Nainai grabbed her arm and stopped her.
Then, Zhuang Nainai stood up slowly. With her eyes set on Xue Rong, Zhuang Nainai announced to everyone, “I’m very sorry. Something had cropped up at work and he had been busy and working overtime these few days…”
Before she could even finish speaking, Xue Rong shrieked, “I told you she’s lying! Zhuang Nainai, you are so shameless! I meant well by introducing potential partners to you. You didn’t accept my offer, but why did you lie?! You have no morals at all!”
Xue Rong was sure that victory was hers. “Zhuang Nainai, what’s the point of you trying to drag the time over and over again?”
Zhuang Nainai looked at her. “Then what’s the point of you trying to take me down over and over again?”
After saying this, she set her gaze on all the classmates surrounding them. “We are all college classmates. If all of you don’t want to believe me, so be it. In the end, the truth will prevail. I don’t think it’s a big deal even if I really have a rich second-generation heir boyfriend, and so what if I don’t have one? Furthermore, this is a class gathering. When the class representative asked me to come, he didn’t say that I have to bring my boyfriend, did he?”
Xue Rong could not think of a comeback and could only stamp her feet in fury. “It’s not that we don’t believe you. It’s just that your words don’t match. Previously, you said that he would be coming, but now you are saying that he is busy with work. You are obviously toying with us!”
Upon hearing this, Zhuang Nainai frowned and looked at Xie Yutong. She had never thought of lying to her classmates. She was not so vain. If Xue Rong weren’t this aggressive, Xie Yutong wouldn’t have thought of this idea and set up this grand plan.
She paused for a moment and looked down. Just when she was about to say something, everyone’s attention was caught by a small commotion at the entrance. What they saw was the class representative chauffeuring the teacher they had invited.
The plan for this class gathering was to have a one-night stay at the hotel before they leave on the second day. Hence, after the class representative escorted the teacher to greet everyone, he had intended to ask the service staff to bring them to settle the check-in procedures and send the teacher’s luggage to the room first.
Zhuang Nainai’s gaze was immediately fixed on the white-haired old man walking in with the crowd.
He was Teacher Zhao Ming. He was around 60 years old, and he had an exquisite taste. Many wrinkles ran across his expressionless square face with tightly pursed lips. Wearing a pair of presbyopic glasses and a gray Chinese tunic suit, he resembled a stubborn old man.
He looked up and glanced across the crowd before fixing his gaze on Zhuang Nainai. He narrowed his eyes.
It was a heartwarming moment for Zhuang Nainai as she stepped forward hurriedly and greeted, “Teacher Zhao!”
Zhao Ming finally recognized her after walking closer toward her.
Zhuang Nainai could see the delight in Teacher Zhao Ming’s eyes although he still kept a straight face. “I have something to tell you.”
Before he could continue, another teacher by the side started to call out, “Zhao, hurry up, we were all waiting for you!”
Upon hearing this, Zhao Ming turned back and hesitated for a while. Then, he said to Zhuang Nainai, “I’ll talk to you more during the meal later.”
Zhuang Nainai nodded. “Okay.”
After escorting all the teachers into the elevator, the class representative turned back to look at them. “Is everyone here?”
Everyone nodded and proceeded to crowd around him and reminisce.
The class representative said, smiling, “Currently, the most successful person among us is Shi Haoyu!”
