Chapter 72 Class Reunion
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole place fell silent, and everyone turned their attention to the seat opposite Xu Xian, where sat a heavily made-up woman wearing piles of designer clothes.
Seeing everyone looking at her, there was no other expression on her face. She still looked at Xu Xian with contempt and even provocation.
Xu Xian narrowed his eyes, but the smile did not reach his eyes.
She and the malicious woman in front of her had a long-standing grudge. They were roommates, but they gradually became estranged because of a man.
An Qianyuan comes from an average family. She and Xu Xian used to be classmates and roommates, so they were close and often got together to play.
When they were in their junior year, they met Sheng Anyang in the school piano club. At that time, An Qianyuan fell in love with Sheng Anyang at first sight, but Sheng Anyang liked Xu Xian.
A bloody love triangle begins. In fact, Xu Xian didn't want to get involved. She had no interest in Sheng Anyang at all, but she couldn't stand him following her around every day.
It took her less than a year to agree to him. It was after they became boyfriend and girlfriend that An Qianran's hostility towards Xu Xian became more and more obvious, from ignoring him at the beginning to spreading rumors later.
Xu Xian is not a timid person. After knowing that someone was spreading rumors about her, he decisively used some means to find out that it was An Qianran, and the two of them immediately fell out.
That incident was widely circulated in school at the time. I thought everyone would go their separate ways after graduation and all the grudges would be gone, but I didn't expect An Qianran still kept it in her heart.
Seeing Xu Xian was silent, someone with a quick mind quickly came out to smooth things over.
"Hey! Almost everyone is here, let's eat and talk!"
As he said this, he called the waiter to serve the food.
"The food in this hotel is famous far and wide. I heard that the chefs are all invited from abroad. Everyone should try it carefully. Don't miss this delicious food!" Han Yiran laughed.
Everyone present was smart and responded immediately, and the atmosphere eased slightly.
When An Qianyuan saw that Xu Xian didn't retort, she thought she was right for a moment, and her smile became more smug. How could she easily let go of the opportunity to humiliate Xu Xian?
If Xu Xian hadn't exposed her rumor and the incident hadn't caused such a stir, she wouldn't have been punished by the school and wouldn't have failed the civil service exam after graduation.
Her family was of average financial status, and she was not able to inherit the family business like the class monitor's family. Her design skills were not outstanding either, and she ended up having to work in a small company and suffer.
Besides, didn't Xu Xian rely on her face? If it weren't for this foxy face, Sheng Anyang wouldn't have only had eyes for her back then and rejected her sincere confessions time and time again.
"What? Xu Xihua dares to do it but not to admit it? You want to get away with it by keeping silent? The bag in your hand is not cheap, can a salesperson like you afford it?" An Qianyuan crossed her arms and spoke in a sarcastic tone.
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone at the table turned their eyes to the bag in Xu Xian's hand, and saw its value at a glance. Only then did they notice that the clothes Xu Xian was wearing were not cheap.
Seeing that everyone suspected Xu Xian, An Qianyuan became even more proud.
She was vain and used all her salary to dress herself up. Naturally, she could see how expensive the bag in Xu Xian's hand was, at least more than 500,000 yuan.
It was no secret in their class group that Xu Xian worked in medical device sales after graduation. Moreover, she always wanted to compete with Xu Xian, so she naturally would not miss any news from her.
Even if she sells at her best, she still can't afford a bag worth more than 500,000 yuan.
Xu Xian is beautiful. Beauty is a convenient pass, but sometimes it can also become a reason for attack by people with bad intentions.
In An Qianyuan's opinion, Xu Xian only has good looks, but is actually a fool. He is dressed in bright and beautiful clothes, with high-end brand names from head to toe. He must be hooking up with a rich man.
Most of the rich men who are interested in her are old men.
"I remember that spreading rumors is illegal, right? Back then, I didn't send you to jail out of consideration for our friendship as classmates. Do you think I would still care about it now?" Xu Xian's eyes were frozen into ice, his tone was indifferent, without even any emotion, but he made people feel a chill for no reason.
"As for whether I can afford this bag or not, it seems to have nothing to do with you."
There are so many bags and jewelry in the cloakroom. She usually carries her old bag to work. If she didn't consider that she should not dress too poorly for a class reunion, she would not take a bag from the cloakroom.
She didn't want to make the class reunion awkward, so she held back and didn't say anything.
But since the other person doesn't know what's good for her, there's no need for her to give him face.
She is not a soft persimmon that can be bullied by others.
An Qianyuan felt a sense of crisis, but she thought she was smart and must have guessed correctly. She straightened her back and said, "You said I was spreading rumors. Do you have any evidence? Why don't you bring your husband out and let us see! I'm afraid he's trapped by his wife at home and can't come!"
"I've seen many women like you, trying to take shortcuts to get to the top."
Xu Xian sneered, his lively eyes tinged with a hint of frost, "You know so much? Did you try to get into someone's bed before? But you failed."
"You - you are talking nonsense." An Qianyuan's face flushed red, with an expression as if her true feelings had been exposed.
The students present had all been working in society for several years, and everyone could see that An Qianran was guilty, and they looked at her with a bit more contempt.
They almost all come from well-off families and would not degrade themselves to the point of climbing into someone else's bed, not to mention that some of them even have wives with them. They have always been disdainful of mistresses who destroy other people's families.
"If I'm talking nonsense, why are you panicking?" Xu Xian said slowly, picking up the water glass beside him and taking a sip.
I haven't had a sip of water for most of the day and I'm extremely thirsty!
In fact, she didn't want to get too entangled with An Qianyuan. Her principle has always been "I won't offend others unless they offend me."
People trapped in the fog always numb themselves with external reasons and never look for mistakes in themselves. An Qianran belongs to this category.
She blamed the misfortunes of the past few years on herself instead of reflecting on herself.
An Qianyuan noticed the looks around her and pinched her palms to pretend to be calm. She had really wanted to climb into the bed of their company's boss before, wanting to reach the top in one step and get rid of her hard life.
But as long as she doesn't say anything, no one will know about this.
Thinking of this, she felt more confident. "Why should I be worried? It's you who's been avoiding the topic and talking about other things. You're the one who's guilty! Back then, you hooked up with Sheng Anyang, trying to cling to the rich and powerful. Now that your family isn't well off, you're using the same old tricks again!"
"Sheng Anyang broke up with you because he couldn't stand your bloodsucking!"
It was no secret among Xu Xian's classmates that something had happened in his family during the second half of his senior year. His father fell and died overnight, and his mother was diagnosed with cancer. She had to sell her house to raise money for his treatment.
Hearing this, the students present looked at Xu Xian with a slightly different look. According to An Qianyuan, Xu Xian really couldn't afford the clothes and bags he was wearing.
They could tell that the clothes and bags were genuine brands, not fakes meant to look good, which she couldn't afford.
Xu Xian's face darkened a little. She could tolerate An Qianyuan's roundabout slander of her, but she could not involve her family.
"An Qianyuan..."
Before he finished speaking, the door of the box opened again. Everyone's eyes involuntarily moved outside, and a magnetic voice sounded in their ears.
"Sorry everyone, I'm late."
