The class gathering was to be held in the afternoon at a holiday resort on the outskirts of Beijing. There were even some professional instructors hired to make the event seem professional.
Su Yanbin drove Zhuang Nainai to the event. As Zhuang Nainai got off the car, he was still nagging, “Are you sure you don’t need me to go with you? Let me tell you, the moment I appear, all those ex-boyfriends of yours from your university days will surely be cowed into giving you more face!”
Zhuang Nainai couldn’t resist rolling her eyes at him. “What do you mean by my ex-boyfriends in university? Don’t spout rubbish. Anyway, have you been too free these few days? Why are you following me around everywhere?”
Su Yanbin was all ready to complain to her. “It’s all because of your husband who’s been too busy lately, and he was the one who asked Lin Xi’er and me to keep you company!”
Despite saying that, he beamed widely. “Because I find it fun to see you looking downcast! Man, I gave a call to Zuo Yiyi, even, and she wants to come and visit you.”
Zhuang Nainai was speechless.
She grew a bit moody at the mention of Zuo Yiyi.
She had found the opportunity to explain Zuo Yiyi’s slapping of Mi Nuo, but Si Zhengting had simply coldly replied, “I got it.”
And yet, he still hadn’t allowed Zuo Yiyi to be reinstated to her former position in the Imperial Group.
It was only later on that Zhuang Nainai understood the reasons behind Si Zhengting’s actions. Firstly, it had been to draw a clear line between Zuo Yiyi and himself, since for too long, he had been paired up with Zuo Yiyi by the heir friends around them; secondly, it had been for Zuo Yiyi’s own good that he was being so brutal to her.
At the mention of Zuo Yiyi by Su Yanbin, Zhuang Nainai was stunned for a moment. Bringing herself around, she decided not to humor him and got off the car.
Su Yanbin, however, grabbed her by the arm. “Hey, are you really going to wear clothes like this to the gathering? Isn’t this a bit too shabby?”
Zhuang Nainai was into her second trimester and was now wearing sport shoes, maternity shorts, and a loose down top. Essentially, she looked like a high school student.
Hearing this, she turned around and squeezed out a smile for him. “I’m going for a class gathering, not a red carpet walk! Thank you!”
With that, she shrugged his hand off and walked directly toward the hotel.
The hotel was impressive.
It had elegant surroundings, and the main hall was buzzing with activity.
Just as Zhuang Nainai made her entrance, she heard someone calling her name. Turning her head, she spotted a group of friends who had arrived earlier than she did and were now chatting among themselves.
And the two people who were being encircled by the group were Xue Rong and Shi Haoyu!
Possibly having heard someone call Zhuang Nainai’s name, Xue Rong turned around. Her eyes narrowed the moment she spotted Zhuang Nainai, and she took Shi Haoyu’s arm with a cold expression on her face. Dragging Shi Haoyu as well as the other classmates along, she walked forward.
“Hey, goddess, it’s been more than a year since we last met, and you’ve grown prettier!” a male classmate said with a smile. “We were really not wrong to have called you the flower of our design school!”
Zhuang Nainai was familiar with them, and so they tended to speak without reservation.
The moment she heard this, she raised her chin. “Of course! It’s me you’re talking about!”
That made everyone burst out laughing.
Casting a glance at the classmates gathered around her, she felt she made the right decision in choosing to come for the gathering.
Even though her university days had been more complicated than her high school days, there had undeniably been some good times.
Every time a classmate joined the group, everyone would tease him or her, and so now, it was Zhuang Nainai’s turn to be “picked on.”
All of a sudden, Zhuang Nainai’s arm tightened. Turning around, she spotted Xie Yutong squeezing her way through with exaggerated motions. “Oh dear me! The moment the goddess arrives, all of you start to behave like ravenous wolves! It was so hard for me to squeeze my way in here!”
