But what he didn't know was that seeing his flattering and smooth behavior, Jiang Mengheng couldn't help but think of those people at home who asked his grandfather for favors.

It hasn't been long since Lu Cong became exactly like them.

He felt a little bored and wanted to smoke, but was afraid of choking He Ruixue, so he just touched the cigarette in his pocket and put it down.

He kept an eye on the goddess, and seeing her playing with her fingers out of boredom, he wanted to take the initiative to find a topic.

But Yan Yiyi, who was sitting opposite him, spoke first, "Mr. Jiang, I heard your family arranged three blind dates for you. How come you are so picky that you can't find anyone you like?"

What did this annoying guy say in front of He Ruixue?

Jiang Mengheng looked at He Ruixue's expression nervously and carefully, and felt a little disappointed when he saw that she was not moved at all.

Then all his anger turned into anger, and he said to her in a cold voice, "You should focus more on yourself. I heard that your father was reported for corruption and bribery, and is currently suspended. Aren't you afraid that his position will be taken by someone else?"

As he spoke, he turned to He Ruixue and said aggrievedly, "I was kind enough to sympathize with her situation and didn't even invite her. Who knew she'd come here on her own? She's so heartless."

"you--"

Yan Yiyi was so angry that she wanted to throw down her chopsticks and leave, but she couldn't. Jiang Mengheng's father had become the second-in-command in the city and was definitely not someone her family could afford to offend.

I could only look at myself, my face flushed with anger, and turned my head away, not wanting to look at him.

He Ruixue became interested. "Someone reported me. What's going on?"

"I don't know either. It seems someone was convicted and unwilling to repent. Even while being reformed on the farm, they didn't forget to expose her father, hoping to drag him into the waters. But Section Chief Yan was a traitor, so they really found out something. I heard his name was Jiang Xi, and he has the same last name as me."

He Ruixue understood a little, it was probably Sun Laiyi who did it.

At first, she wanted to get Qian Dabiao's protection, so she used Yan Yiyi's name, but she ended up cutting off her support. How could Jiang Xi not hate him?

Yes, it also helped her to take revenge on the Yan family. The way this hostess handled things was becoming more and more "to her liking".

Yan Yiyi stared at her intently. "My father was framed! She was arrested because her husband committed a crime. What does it have to do with my family? He Ruixue, her husband used to be the workshop director of a textile factory. Did you do something?"

"What are you talking about?"

Jiang Mengheng was the first to step forward and charge forward. "Who are you to deserve her plotting against you? If she really wanted to get on with you, would she have gone to all that trouble just to talk to me?"

Hearing the partiality and arrogance in his words, Yan Yiyi gritted her teeth in anger.

Her family had inexplicably suffered an unprovoked disaster, and her former enemy was sitting on the sidelines watching the joke. She couldn't stand it any longer, so she suddenly stood up and said, "I have something to do, I'm leaving first."

"Why, you're leaving as soon as I get here?"

The door of the room was opened, and a man in military uniform and boots walked in.

He was tall, with deep and stern features on his face. He had a healthy wheat-colored complexion, and his left sleeve was unruly rolled up, revealing his muscular forearm.

He firmly pushed Yan Yiyi back to her seat with one hand, then sat down on He Ruixue's right, smiling and saying, "Ruixue, you've become more beautiful again. I couldn't give you a gift on your birthday before because I was in the army, so I'll give you one today. Here, your favorite chocolate. Do you like it?"

His name is Ren Chengmian. Originally, it was Ren Chengmian. Later, his grandfather felt that the name was too flashy and easy to be exaggerated and misinterpreted, so he decided to change it.

They are in the same circle as Jiang Mengheng, but their family has better development in the army and their main influence is not in the city.

He was also a suitor of the original owner, and he would always give her gifts on her birthday. If he had not joined the army early, he would definitely be one more person who confessed his love to her after graduation.

Taking a box of exquisitely wrapped chocolates, He Ruixue politely thanked him, "Thank you, Ren, I like it very much."

"Why call me classmate? It's too distant. Just call me Brother Ren or Mianzi."

Since he came in, Jiang Mengheng has become a hedgehog with its fur standing on end, and has become alert all over.

Apart from other things, Ren Chengmian has a very handsome and intimidating appearance. It is hard to say whether He Ruixue will be attracted by his face.

"Hey, Comrade Ren, please don't be so offensive. I heard that you were having a hot and heavy relationship with some girls from the art troupe. Isn't that just being a hooligan?"

"Jiang, if you keep talking nonsense, I'll knock your teeth out. Ruixue, don't get me wrong, they're the ones pestering me, but I didn't agree to any of them."

As the host of this class reunion, Wang Biao quickly stepped out to smooth things over. "I was told you guys didn't get along in high school, and you're arguing even though it's so rare for you to see each other. Everyone's almost here, right? Should I go get my dad to start cooking?"

"Okay, I've been thinking about Uncle Wang's craftsmanship for a long time."

Jiang Mengheng and others still respect chefs with superb skills, after all, they rely on people for their livelihood.

He Ruixue is always the center of the topic.

Everyone was surprised to learn about her rapid promotion. Who would have thought that a vase with the worst grades in the class would have such a promising future after graduation?

They thought that at most she would find a good family to marry into and then concentrate on being a rich wife and enjoying life at home.

"Mr. He, if you don't make a name for yourself, you'll be a sensation. Come, let me toast you. Would you like to drink with me?"

A man with slicked-back hair picked up the wine glass with a wink, looking fawning, but actually full of greed.

He Ruixue frowned, and Ren Chengmian raised his hand to block the man's glass. "No, drinking is bad for your health. I'll drink Ruixue's glass for her. I don't know if you can bear it."

Of course, he couldn't afford it. He put down the cup in frustration and went to harass other students, "Student Zhang, where are you going?"

"Mr. Zhao, I heard your man treats you very well. He personally brought you in today. Why don't you let him in to eat together?"

He Ruixue was chatting with acquaintances and found that many of her classmates had gone to the countryside. Those who could come basically had jobs or got married early, so a table for fifteen people could be full.

After a while, the food was served. The level 5 chef's cooking skills were not fake. The taste was indeed good, with good color, aroma and taste.

Especially the meat dishes, the meat slices were smooth and crispy, the chicken was chewy but not dry, and they were so delicious that people forgot to talk for a moment.

As for Ren Chengmian's family, they had eaten dishes made by level 2 and 3 chefs before, but they were not too amazing. Instead, they focused most of their attention on He Ruixue.

Her rosy and tender lips were opening and closing, the color was like lotus petals, and her skin was like condensed honey. He had expressed his pursuit of her in school before, but in fact he just had a good impression of her. He felt that it would be proud to win her over and that he could surpass Jiang Mengheng.

But when they met again, her every move was so poetic and vivid that he couldn't help but feel his heart beating faster.

His mouth was dry, so he drank some tea and said more attentively, "Ruixue, if you like it, I'll have someone cook a few more dishes for you and bring them back for your family to try."

"Thank you, but no thanks."

"Why are you being so polite to me? I don't ask anything from you. I just want to make you happy. Unlike some people, they want their eyes to be embedded in you. Don't you think that's annoying too?"
