Chapter 174 He is just a clown
Hearing Meng Chenghong's question, Qiao Yichen curled his lips, put a hand on Meng Chenghong's shoulder, and leaned closer to say, "That's Yi Ziming, our class beauty. She's been in love with your brother for three years in high school. She even gave your brother a love letter in her second year of high school."
Humans are gossipy by nature. Meng Chenghong suddenly perked up and asked, "And then?"
"There's no such thing as a sequel." Qiao Yichen spread his hands and shrugged. "Your brother used his extremely lethal smile to gently but cruelly reject her."
After his confession was rejected, Yi Ziming's eyes were red and swollen when he returned to school the next day.
The girl Wu Li had a crush on at that time was Yi Ziming.
Seeing the girl dear to his heart being hurt so deeply, anger and unwillingness surged in his heart. Wu Li completely hated Meng Yushu and tried to trip her up in every way possible, even trying to provoke her openly.
At that time, Meng Yushu was thin and smart, but he was just a weak scholar with a gentle personality. Facing Wu Li's targeting, he chose to turn a blind eye, which would only enhance the other person's prestige.
Unable to bear the fact that Meng Yushu, the academic master, had a friend who was a school bully, Qiao Yichen picked up a chair and almost hit Wu Li on the head. Since then, Wu Li never dared to do anything tricky again.
He only tries to show off his strength with words, saying some sarcastic remarks from time to time, which makes him look more like a clown.
"It happened so long ago, don't bring it up." Meng Yushu gave Qiao Yichen a warning look, so that he wouldn't keep telling his brother nonsense.
Qiao Yichen raised his eyebrows meaningfully and closed his mouth.
Just because he doesn't say it doesn't mean others won't mention it.
"Hey! Zi Ming and Meng Yu Shu were the most beautiful girls in our class back then. A lot of people were optimistic about you two! Tell me the truth, have you had any private contact in the past five years?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Yi Ziming's face turned red immediately. She glanced at Meng Yushu embarrassedly, then lowered her head in embarrassment.
It's like he said nothing, yet it's like he said everything.
"Oh~ It seems something is happening!" Qu Zhuru teased Yi Ziming jokingly.
"No, Yu Shu and I haven't seen each other in the past few years." Yi Ziming said coquettishly.
He said he had never met her, but he did not deny the claim of private contact. Coupled with his shy tone and intimate way of addressing her, it was hard not to think that there was some ambiguous development between them.
Qu Zhuru had an understanding look on her face. "Just because we haven't met doesn't mean there's no progress. Meng Yushu has been busy filming these past few years, so it's normal that we haven't had the chance to meet!"
Qiao Yichen laughed at what he heard. "Squad leader, don't talk nonsense about things you don't know. Lao Meng is an award-winning actor now. If this rumor gets out and becomes a scandal, the paparazzi will be able to haunt him for three months."
Qu Zhuru seemed to have just realized that with Meng Yushu's current identity, she couldn't make such jokes casually.
She waved her hand and gave a slightly awkward smile, "I'm just a little curious. No more talking."
"It's okay." Meng Yushu smiled calmly, her tone gentle but with a distinct sense of distance: "It's okay for everyone to joke around, but Zi Ming and I are indeed just old classmates, and we haven't been in touch much in the past few years. After all, I'm busy with work and haven't been able to take care of many things."
He said this appropriately, without embarrassing Yi Ziming, while also clearly drawing a line in the sand.
The blush on Yi Ziming's face gradually faded, replaced by a hint of loss.
But she quickly adjusted her mood, smiled and agreed: "Yes, everyone is busy, it's not easy to get together."
Seeing this, Qu Zhuru changed the subject: "By the way, Qiao Yichen, it seems that some of your popular songs were written by Qi Ran. Have you ever met him in person? I've liked him for a long time. Can you help me get an autograph?"
This is not for the purpose of selling it for money. If you really want to exchange autographs for money, Qiao Yichen's autographed photo will definitely be more valuable.
Qu Zhuru really likes Qi Ran. She loves singing, but she has never learned it professionally and is just an amateur.
People who like music generally listen to the songs themselves in addition to learning singing techniques.
Every song composed by Qi Ran can touch her heart and resonate with her, so she admires Qi Ran very much.
Unfortunately, Qi Ran has never appeared in public, and no personal information about Qi Ran can be found on the Internet.
It's not even clear whether it's a boy or a girl. It's so mysterious that it seems like it came from another world.
"This..." Qiao Yichen glanced at Meng Yushu in embarrassment. Without waiting for a response, he turned his gaze back to Qu Zhuru and said, "I have to ask first and then I'll give you an answer."
The live broadcast of the banquet last night has already caused quite a stir on Weibo.
Compared to Meng Yushu, who was responsible for the live broadcast, Meng Anran's popularity was even higher, almost paralyzing the platform.
If it is revealed that the mysterious genius composer "Qi Ran" is just a pseudonym of Meng Anran, all major entertainment platforms will probably be overturned.
The atmosphere became lively again and everyone started talking about their work and life.
Although Meng Chenghong was young, he also noticed the subtle atmosphere at the table.
Especially the unfriendly looks Wu Li casts from time to time, which makes people's hair stand on end.
He leaned closer to Meng Yushu and asked quietly, "Brother, does Wu Li still have a problem with you? Why do I feel like he's always staring at you?"
Meng Yushu gently patted his brother's shoulder and whispered, "It's okay, don't pay attention to him."
Qiao Yichen also heard what Meng Chenghong said. He sneered and said in a low voice, "He's just a clown. Back then, he was completely suppressed by your brother. Now your brother has a bright future. Jealousy can make a person look bad."
Meng Chenghong nodded and pursed his lips. Although Wu Li's look made him feel very uncomfortable, he didn't say anything else.
As the dinner progressed into the second half, everyone became more relaxed and drank a lot of wine.
Wu Li seemed to be a little drunk. He suddenly stood up, raised his glass and said to Meng Yushu, "Meng Da Yingdi, you are a big star now. The commercials you shoot are worth our annual income. Don't forget to take care of us old classmates in the future!"
Meng Yushu smiled faintly, did not respond, just took a sip of wine and sat down.
Seeing this, Qiao Yichen couldn't help but sneer and whispered to Meng Chenghong, "See, this guy is just like that. He starts to act weird after drinking a little."
Meng Chenghong frowned and muttered softly, "This person is so annoying."
No wonder Brother Yichen couldn't help but pick up a stool and beat someone up. It was obvious that he deserved a beating!
After the dinner, everyone said goodbye one after another.
Meng Yushu walked out of the restaurant with Meng Chenghong and Qiao Yichen. As they reached the door, Yi Ziming suddenly caught up with them, with a hint of hesitation and nervousness on his face.
"Yushu, can we chat alone for a few minutes?" she asked softly, her eyes full of anticipation.
