The group exchanged glances, lowered their heads, and simultaneously tapped their phone screens to type, instantly flooding the WeChat group with messages.
[Who the hell has a screw loose and told Pei Feng?]
【I don't. 】
It wasn't me either.
[How dare Pei Feng show his face in front of Yu Wan? Who gave him the audacity? Isn't he afraid of being crippled by Yu Wan?]
After a while, someone timidly asked: "Are you going to try and break up the fight later?"
The group fell silent; some smoked, others drank heavily. Having witnessed Yu Wan's beatings, they still felt lingering fear years later.
[How can we stop her? If Yu Wan starts hitting someone, there's no way to stop her. She's so fierce when she fights; even if we all ganged up on her, we wouldn't be a match for her.]
[But Pei Feng is now a public figure, doing quite well in the entertainment industry. If things really escalate, his female fans would probably tear Yu Wan apart, right?]
Ugh, what the hell is going on...?
The WeChat group was buzzing with discussion, but the private room was filled with a chilling atmosphere, so oppressive that it was hard for everyone to breathe.
Meng Shen frowned and looked at Yu Wan.
Yu Wan lowered her eyes, her delicate and beautiful face shrouded in a hazy light, her emotions indifferent, her calm demeanor suggesting she truly didn't care about what happened back then.
but……
How could that be!
My gaze shifted down to her slender, beautiful knuckles, which had turned white, perhaps from applying too much pressure.
Meng Shen's gaze darkened. He stood up, one hand in his pocket, and spoke without any politeness: "Zhou Qi, what kind of lousy place did you find? How come you can let just any Tom, Dick, or Harry in?"
Zhou Qi, who was suddenly called out, didn't dare to say a word and forced a stiff smile. He was just an ordinary college student from an ordinary family. Meng Shen was rich and powerful, and Pei Feng was a popular young actor in the entertainment industry. He couldn't afford to offend either of them.
Meng Shen scoffed at this.
A flash of malice crossed Pei Feng's eyes. Meng Shen had looked down on him before, and now he still acted arrogantly. What kind of rich kid was he, sponging off his parents? Thinking of his current achievements, he straightened his back, put on a smile, and kept his gaze on Yu Wan: "It's rare to run into you like this, why don't we sit down and catch up?"
Yu Wan slightly raised her face, glanced at him indifferently, and then looked away, without even the desire to speak.
She was noble and arrogant.
Pei Feng's dark side was screaming: Yes, it's this damned look that makes one want to completely conquer her, body and soul, and trample her underfoot. He chuckled, his smile widening: "What happened back then was my fault. I didn't explain things clearly to everyone in time, which caused such a big misunderstanding. I apologize to you now."
Yu Wan narrowed her eyes slightly and asked in a playful tone, "Apologize?"
What the hell is this bastard planning to do now?
Pei Feng bowed slightly, looking extremely sincere: "I'm sorry, Wanwan, it's my fault for making you suffer so much. It's all my fault."
"Shut up, don't you know who you are? You think you can call Wanwan like that?" Meng Shen had always disliked this kind of pretentious person the most. He got angry instantly, kicked over the beer bottle next to him, and sneered, "If you didn't know better, you would think that Yu Xiaowan was bullying you."
Pei Feng stood there patiently, neither annoyed nor irritable, as if he were tolerating the antics of a naughty child.
Yu Wan's patience was wearing thin, and disgust slowly crept into her eyes. Four years had passed, and they were still playing these petty tricks; it was truly boring.
She lifted her foot and walked straight towards the door.
Everyone's heart leaped into their throats. Here it comes, here it comes, finally here! The school bully is about to beat someone up. Should we book an ambulance in advance?
However, in reality...
Unexpectedly, Yu Wan simply walked past him without even glancing at him. Just as she was about to reach the door, Pei Feng suddenly grabbed her shoulder.
-
The door to the private room opened and closed, and although it was only for a moment, it brought in the noise from outside. The word that was shouted most often was "Pei Feng".
This was Tang Yue's first time speaking in the group since his bankruptcy. The group members were clamoring to meet up, and to accommodate his schedule, they specially arranged to meet at the top floor of this club to catch up. Apart from the club owner, Yin Lang, the other four had traveled from other cities. They hadn't seen each other since graduating from university, and this reunion brought a full group together.
On one hand, everyone was eager to know about the Tang family's bankruptcy and see if they could lend a hand. On the other hand, they were all thinking about poaching him. It's no exaggeration to say that if Tang Yue just sent out a job offer, any top company in the country would extend an olive branch to him.
Unfortunately, Tang Yue rejected everyone's good intentions.
He sat there, his long legs crossed, elegantly peeking out, as if he were in a high-end restaurant, seemingly never having fallen from the clouds, exuding an air of superiority that commanded respect.
The group exchanged glances, their respect growing even stronger.
"These young girls nowadays are really crazy. They'll do anything for their idols." Yin Lang looked a little annoyed, lit a cigarette, took a few deep drags, and smoke swirled around him.
The smoke was a bit pungent, and Tang Yue frowned slightly, glancing sideways.
Yin Lang noticed his expression, and without saying a word, he quickly extinguished the spit-out, picked up the bottle, poured himself a full glass, and downed it in one gulp.
"Is the situation complicated?" Lu Suichuan raised an eyebrow curiously.
Yin Lang nodded: "You know Pei Feng, right? That popular idol got his hand broken by a woman, and it's caused quite a stir. According to his agent, he was supposed to be a guest performer at the National Theatre tonight, playing the violin, but now he's facing a hefty penalty for breach of contract. However, the woman is very powerful and wealthy in Jiangcheng. Speaking of which, Young Master Tang should know that woman; she's the only daughter of the Yu Group."
