Chapter 152 We Are All Ones
"Where would I live if I didn't go home?"
"You can live at your cousin's house, or rent a house near your senior's house. Mom will pay for the rent."
"..." Zhang Nian's face darkened. "I won't go. I've already bought the ticket and I can't refund it. I'll go to the station later. You and my dad must send one of you to pick me up in the evening."
"Your dad and I have to work overtime."
"So you're just going to let me go home by myself? It's so dark, what if something happens? Then I won't be able to find Senior Jing as my son-in-law, and I won't even be able to find the failed student from the family next door who didn't get into college."
"Okay, don't be angry, I'll ask your dad to pick you up."
After hearing this, Zhang Nian hung up the phone directly.
The phone call made her even more upset.
In her irritation, she thought of Wen Zhile, and how the whole family had shown meticulous care for her on the first day of school, and how after they met, the other party also treated her like a treasure and spoiled her.
It would be fine if the Wen family and Captain Zhou were ordinary families, but they were powerful and influential. How could she not be jealous?
Zhang Nian clenched her fists, the bitterness in her heart almost swallowed her up.
In the afternoon, Zhou Jihuai and Wen Zhile walked into the Heshun Hotel on time.
This class reunion was initiated by Zhou Jihuai, and he happened to be in Jingzhou, so he agreed to come.
But there were both male and female classmates, and Zhou Jihuai was on guard because he remembered his experience in school, so he asked Wen Zhile to go along.
On the other hand, he didn't want to lose time with the girl because of the party.
The elevator reached the sixth floor, and the man whispered, "If someone in the private room provokes you, you don't have to put up with it. You should provoke them back in the same way they provoke you."
"I know, bro."
Wen Zhile agreed quickly, but was actually a little confused.
Isn't this a class reunion?
The reason they can get together must be because they have a good relationship. Who would deny them face in public?
Zhou Jihuai couldn't help curling his lips because of her obedience, and then warned: "Don't call me brother later, just call me by my name."
The little girl was even more confused: "Okay."
The two of them walked to the private room and Zhou Jihuai pushed open the door. The men and women who had arrived at the hotel early all looked towards the door at the same time. When they saw that it was Zhou Jihuai, they immediately came over to greet him enthusiastically.
Wen Zhile took a quick look around and found two familiar faces.
One was Changsheng, and the other was the patrolling armed police whom I had seen at the entrance of the shopping mall before.
While she was looking at others, others were also looking at her.
The leader of this party was special. They had guessed that Zhou Jihuai would come, but they did not expect that he would bring such a beautiful girl. There was never any girl around him during his three years of high school.
The look he gave Wen Zhile suddenly became complicated.
In the crowd, Sun Weian whispered to the people around him, "This girl is the one I saw at the entrance of the mall last year. You can see for yourselves. Am I right when I say she is the most beautiful girl I have ever seen?"
"Yes!"
"My grandson really wasn't bragging."
The room was heated well, Wen Zhile took off her down jacket, and Zhou Jihuai took it from her: "Give it to me."
"Hey, hey, brother Huai, you brought your family to the class reunion?" Changsheng came over and winked at Zhou Jihuai.
"..." Wen Zhile smiled, "Brother Chang, you are here too."
"Brother Huai and I were in the same class in high school," Changsheng looked at her with a smile, "Family members, come and sit here."
Zhou Jihuai's classmates are all 23 or 24 years old. Some of them are married and have brought their families or children with them.
It was not dinner time, so there were some biscuits, candies and cakes on the table, and each child had a biscuit.
Zhou Jihuai took off his coat and put it together with the little girl's coat. After returning, he glanced at Changsheng and said, "Zhizhi is shy. If you tease her again, I will spare you."
Changsheng is even happier.
"Come sit on the sofa and let's chat."
The three of them sat down, and others came over to say hello.
Wen Zhile was wearing a rainbow striped sweater and a pair of light blue slim jeans that she had bought a few days ago. Although she was wearing cotton pants underneath, her legs were still long, thin and straight, and she looked like a fairy when she sat there.
She is good-looking and has fair and translucent skin. They dare not imagine how happy they would be if they had a partner like her.
"We are both here, but the unreliable Brother Fan hasn't arrived yet."
Changsheng has the latest birthday among his childhood friends, so he calls everyone "brother".
"It's just that we have good tempers. If it were the other brothers, they would definitely give him three glasses of white wine when he comes."
Whenever their group of people were setting up a meeting with the outside world, there would always be two people to support the event. This time, it was them two who supported the event. The others were all classmates and had a superficial relationship with them, so Zhou Jihuai did not introduce Wen Zhile in detail.
"I guess you were delayed by something." The man looked at the girl and saw that she had put all her hair behind her ears. He immediately took the rubber band from his wrist and gave it to her.
Wen Zhile was just about to have her hair braided, and when she saw this, she took it over.
They didn't speak the whole time, but they seemed to be in perfect harmony.
Changsheng never dreamed that Brother Huai would have such a day. He could hardly suppress the smile on his face, so he quickly spoke up to suppress it: "Brother Fan's job is really not easy. He has to run around on New Year's Day."
"There is more than one secretary to the mayor, but I think he is the busiest one among them."
After the ponytail was tied, Zhou Jihuai turned around to take a look, thinking how could it look so beautiful even with such a casual ponytail, and continued, "It shows that he is the most respected one."
Changsheng nodded: "Come to think of it, Brother Fan suddenly stopped the situation, is it because of the city government's affairs?"
"Maybe." What other reason could there be other than work?
Their high school is a famous school in Jingzhou, and their classmates all have good grades. After graduating from college, those who stayed in the city to develop their careers have taken root in various industries.
The municipal government may need Jing Fan to personally go deep into the masses to understand something.
They chatted for a while, and then the door of the box was opened again. Others rushed to the door enthusiastically. Zhou Jihuai looked back and saw Changsheng standing up and waving.
The young man who had just walked in nodded at them, with an impeccable smile on his face, and greeted the students politely. It took several minutes for them to finish the greetings.
"Zhizhi, this is my childhood friend, his surname is Jing and his given name is Fan, and he works in the municipal government." Zhou Jihuai introduced.
After saying that, he looked at Jing Fan and said, "This is my good friend, Wen Zhile."
Jing Fan smiled under Zhou Jihuai's gaze: "Student Wen, I have long heard of your great name."
Wen Zhile's eyebrows curved slightly: "Hello."
As soon as she finished speaking, the man put his arm around her wrist and led her to sit down: "Okay, we are all family here, it would be awkward if we talk too much."
Jing Fan sneered at him and poured a glass of water: "Jing Kunfei asked me to pick him up from school so I was a little late. I'll punish myself with a glass of water."
Zhou Jihuai raised his eyebrows slightly: "Jing Kunfei asked you to pick him up from school?"
Changsheng said, "Brother Fan, why don't you tell us the truth?"
"Jing Kun was in the third grade of elementary school. He cried and begged you to carry him on his back. He lay on the ground and couldn't get up. You didn't even blink an eye."
"You'll delay picking him up from school?"
Jing Fan took off his down jacket and put it on the back of the sofa. He kicked Chang Sheng with the back of his foot, but Chang Sheng seemed not to hear him: "Move inward."
