When the call connected, Gu Fan put it on speakerphone.
Xu Jie's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Gu Fan, haven't you arrived yet?"
Gu Fan said calmly, "No, I'm at home."
"We're about to start here, you'd better hurry."
"Okay, I understand."
Gu Fan decisively hung up the phone without continuing the conversation.
Turning his head, he met Jiang Yumeng's jealous gaze.
"What's wrong?"
Jiang Yumeng put her hands on her hips and said coldly, "Senior, explain to me who that girl is? Why is she speaking to you so gently?"
Gu Fan was startled: "Where is the gentleness?"
Jiang Yumeng pouted, "Not gentle at all! She tried her best to hold it in place, I could tell! Tell me! What exactly is your relationship?"
Gu Fan smiled helplessly: "It's not what you think, it's like this..."
He didn't choose to hide it from Jiang Yumeng either. After all, it was the right thing to do to be honest about such a sensitive topic as soon as possible.
After hearing Gu Fan's explanation, Jiang Yumeng became even more frustrated. She glared at him resentfully and said, "So you were deskmates in high school?"
Gu Fan nodded.
"Why do boys and girls sit together in high school?" she asked, puzzled.
Gu Fan smiled and said, "Our high school is a bit special. We usually choose seats based on grades, so there is no distinction between boys and girls."
Jiang Yumeng said jealously, "You two were rumored to be dating? Did you really like her?"
Gu Fan quickly denied it: "Of course not. My relationship with her is completely innocent. We've never even held hands, and we haven't been in contact since we sat apart that time."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yumeng's expression softened a bit.
She suddenly said, "Then let's hurry up and go, I'm even more eager to see it!"
How outstanding are girls who can avoid close male classmates during high school?
Gu Fan nodded, and then went out with Jiang Yumeng.
Jiang Yumeng asked the housekeeper to drive over and pick them up.
As for riding a motorcycle, Jiang Yumeng strongly objected, since she was wearing makeup and she didn't want to ruin her look.
About half an hour later, a luxurious Rolls-Royce pulled up in front of the hotel.
Upon seeing the car, the gatekeeper was stunned and immediately used her walkie-talkie to call her supervisor.
A Rolls-Royce? For someone of that caliber to dine at their restaurant is truly a rare treat!
In the car, Jiang Yumeng touched up her makeup and tidied her hair.
The moment the two got out of the car, they attracted a lot of attention.
Wow, what a handsome guy!
"The girl next to me is so pretty!"
"Are they a couple? They look so well-matched..."
"He drives a Rolls-Royce, he must be incredibly rich!"
"Some people are born in Rome, but I was born destined to be a beast of burden!"
"Wow, are they a couple or siblings? They look alike!"
"Wow, they're holding hands! They look alike, they're definitely a couple!"
"Well, buddy... never mind, if you guys don't tell me, I won't tell you either."
...
Hearing the praises around her, Jiang Yumeng felt a surge of joy.
"Let's go, senior."
She took Gu Fan's arm and walked into the restaurant.
As soon as they arrived at the restaurant entrance, the manager came out to greet them with a warm smile and said, "Esteemed gentlemen and ladies, are you here for a meal?"
Gu Fan nodded.
The manager immediately asked cautiously, "Do you have an appointment?"
Gu Fan nodded and said, "Yes, there is. Room 308."
Large private room number...
The manager was somewhat surprised, but he still said warmly, "Okay, please come with me."
After taking the elevator to the third floor, Gu Fan and Jiang Yumeng arrived at the door of the private room, led by the manager and a group of leaders.
Gu Fan felt somewhat helpless; he was able to have such a grand entourage all thanks to Jiang Yumeng.
The door to the private room was open, and there were two waiters at the door.
And inside, there are young faces.
Gu Fan spotted his friend at a glance.
The latter also saw him and immediately stood up excitedly to wave.
"Old Gu, over here."
As soon as he spoke, everyone's eyes turned to the doorway.
When they saw Gu Fan standing outside with an incredibly beautiful woman by his side, they seemed surprised.
"That's Gu Fan, right? It's been so long, is he really that handsome?"
"It really is him! I knew it! He's bound to grow up to be a handsome guy!"
"Wow, who's the girl next to him? Is she from our class? She's so pretty!"
"Bullshit, how could she be from our class? We don't have any beauties this good-looking in our class. Her looks are two levels above even the class beauty, Xu Jie, right?"
"Wow! Gu Fan is so lucky to have found such a beautiful girl. I thought he would end up with Xu Jie."
"Shh, don't talk nonsense, they're still here."
"..."
"Sir, Madam, please come in."
The manager politely extended his hand.
Gu Fan nodded: "Thank you."
He pulled Jiang Yumeng into the private room.
Unsurprisingly, the two immediately became the focus of attention.
Holy crap! They're killing dogs! Who said you could bring your partner?!
Drag him out and behead him!
"Wow, Gu Fan, you're something else! Is this your girlfriend?" A guy with a buzz cut came up to Gu Fan and looked at the two of them in shock.
Gu Fan nodded and smiled, "Let me introduce you. This is my girlfriend, Jiang Yumeng, and this is my buddy, Su Ke."
Jiang Yumeng remained calm in the face of such a grand occasion. Instead, she displayed the poise and elegance befitting a wealthy heiress, offering a slight smile and replying, "Hello."
"Okay, hehe, hello, Old Gu is really lucky." Su Ke chuckled foolishly.
Meanwhile, a girl sitting not far away watched this scene with a complicated expression.
She was Xu Jie. She originally came to this gathering to make up for the regrets of the past. Who would have thought that the boy had already found his own happiness?
After she got into university, she met many boys and dated two of them, but without exception, they all ended in breakup. She felt that she wasn't really attracted to them and didn't have that feeling.
But the last time I felt that spark was in high school with my deskmate.
Unfortunately, her timidity caused the two to become strangers in parallel worlds.
Now, seeing the handsome and mature Gu Fan, a feeling of regret welled up in her heart.
This wonderful guy should have belonged to her!
Gu Fan led Jiang Yumeng to sit next to Su Ke and nodded briefly to the others.
He also discovered that several of the boys and girls were not from his class; they were probably each other's partners.
"Hey, Lao Gu, I remember you had an online girlfriend, didn't you?" Su Ke nudged Gu Fan's arm and asked.
Upon hearing this, both Jiang Yumeng and Gu Fan smiled.
"Isn't it right in front of you?"
Suk's eyes widened: "Holy crap, what a coincidence!"
Jiang Yumeng smiled sweetly: "I'm your online girlfriend!"
Suk: ...
