Chapter 36 (Update) Classmates Reunion...
The smile on Yang Yi's face froze.
The people opposite her cast inquiring glances at her, and she subconsciously straightened her back. "What do you mean?"
"If I'm not mistaken, the authentic bag has a lower saturation, and the vegetable-tanned leather isn't as red."
Lin Qingxu smiled at her and said calmly, "This bag is indeed difficult to match. If you're short on money, you can buy a style that costs a few tens of thousands of yuan. You don't have to buy a low-end imitation that's obviously fake to pass off as a good-looking bag."
Yang Yi originally used fake bags to expand her storefront, but she didn't expect Lin Qingxu to see through it at a glance and criticize her in person.
Her face flushed red in an instant, her knuckles turned white from the force, and she clenched her back teeth tightly.
There seemed to be people whispering around her, but it was actually her illusion.
The atmosphere was too tense and no one said anything.
Lin Qingxu suddenly felt a little bored. He probably couldn't finish the meal and planned to get up and leave.
The door of the box was pushed open by the waiter, and Qu Wen, who had not been seen for several years, came in with the waiter who led him in.
The atmosphere finally had a breakthrough.
Some greeted Qu Wen, some invited him to a seat, and some asked about his recent situation. It was as if the awkward moment had never happened. Their faces showed no unusual expression. The only difference was that the number of people surrounding Yang Yi with their attentions had significantly decreased.
"I'm so happy." He Jia asked her beside her: "Qing Xu, how did you know that Yang Yi's bag was fake?"
Lin Qingxu responded in a low voice: "My mother complained to me before that this bag was too difficult to match, so she bought hundreds of thousands of matching products and took pictures to show me."
A chef came in with a food cart and asked respectfully, "Is Ms. Lin Qingxu here?"
He Jia raised her hand, "Here."
There was Buddha Jumps Over the Wall in the dining car. In accordance with the hotel regulations, the chef began to introduce the ingredients and production process of this dish in detail.
Someone whispered, "Didn't they say this dish needs to be reserved? Even Yang Yi asked the manager to use her husband's connections, but there's nothing we can do."
"She's a..." the man was saying, when someone elbowed him. Then the conversation took a sudden turn, "Didn't the waiter ask Lin Qingxu at the beginning? He must have used her connections."
"Lin Qingxu? She's not just a little..."
A waiter followed behind, holding a tray with two bottles of red wine on it.
Someone saw the words clearly and exclaimed: "Romanee-Conti!"
Someone didn't understand the value of this wine and whispered to the person next to him, "Is there anything special about this wine?"
"Four bottles, seven figures."
The person asking the question widened his eyes.
Who bought it on purpose?
Obviously Yang Yi recognized it too.
He looked at Yang Yi's pale face. As she had just said she was going to treat them, whether she could afford it or not was another matter, after all, even the bag was fake.
But even if you can afford it, it will cost a lot of money.
The waiter smiled and repeated word for word, "Ma'am, these are two bottles of Romanee-Conti that your husband, Mr. Kan, had left with our hotel. He heard you were here, so he asked us to bring them over."
He looked at everyone present and said, "Mr. Kan has instructed that he hopes everyone enjoys their meal and will pay for all expenses tonight."
The waiter specifically emphasized the word "husband". It is self-evident who instructed him to do so and to whom he was declaring his sovereignty.
Everyone was shocked by the fact that Lin Qingxu was married, but they couldn't care less. They all looked at the two bottles of red wine, each one costing four or five figures. Although many of those present came from wealthy families, such extravagant spending was still shocking.
It was obvious who had complained to Kan Zhao. He Jia shook his cell phone and smiled at Lin Qingxu.
*
It was only eight or nine o'clock after dinner.
Seeing that it was still early, everyone decided to go somewhere else to continue the party. Lin Qingxu did not join them.
Coming out of the lobby, she saw a familiar car parked directly opposite the revolving doors. Standing in front of the car was a tall figure in a suit and tie, looking down at his phone. Suddenly, as if by telepathy, he glanced up and caught her gaze unmistakably.
Someone was following behind and when he saw Lin Qingxu stop, he volunteered to take her back.
"Thank you, no thanks."
Kan Zhao strode over, took off his suit jacket and naturally covered Lin Qingxu with it.
The night was chilly, and she was only wearing a thin white dress tonight. Kan Zhao put his arm around her shoulders, the warmth of his palm radiating through the fabric.
The classmate asked: "Who is this?"
Kan Zhao didn't say anything, but just lowered his eyes and looked at Lin Qingxu, as if waiting for her introduction.
Lin Qingxu didn't often mention some of these nicknames. They had known each other for too long, and the slight changes brought about by the sudden change in their relationship always felt a little subtle.
"My husband, Kan Zhao."
After the words were spoken, it felt like the whole aura of that person was joyful.
"Oh." The classmate thought of the two bottles of expensive red wine just now, "I've heard of you for a long time." He quickly took out a cigarette from his pocket. Fortunately, he chose the best brand to buy at this class reunion, so he handed it over.
Kan Zhao smiled and said, "I don't smoke."
"Oh, okay." He put it back quickly, awkwardly.
The people behind them couldn't help but stop in twos and threes, looking at the departing couple, and nudging the classmate they had just spoken to: "Who is this?"
"It seems to be Lin Qingxu's husband."
"What does it look like? Are you sure it's not the kind that's wrapped?"
"No, it's not. Look at his car."
"What's wrong with the car?" Some people are not very familiar with the car logos, nor do they know all about those brands.
"At least this." The man held up a finger.
They guessed high, "100?"
"At least multiply by ten."
Several people gasped.
"It looks strangely familiar."
"It looks familiar to me, too."
"Do you also think he looks like the CEO of HQL?"
"I'm talking about the one that School Beauty Lin was dating in college." He was one of the few people in college who had run into Kan Zhao and Lin Qingxu together.
"Kind of." After thinking carefully for a while, "It seems like it really is him. They've been married since their sophomore year. They must have been together for several years."
"The man and woman seem to be a good match."
I gained a lot of emotion.
Yang Yi, who came out later, naturally also saw this scene.
Everything that happened tonight tugged at her heartstrings, from stripping away her glamorous facade to the constant display of how much Lin Qingxu was cherished. Dealing with her husband's infidelity had already been exhausting for Yang Yi, and now seeing Kan Zhao made her even more bitter.
How could it be him? Yang Yi knew Kan Zhao's identity. That was the person her husband had been trying to curry favor with this year.
Kan Zhao's early marriage has long been public knowledge, and he has repeatedly expressed his deep love for his wife. The question of who holds this handsome, wealthy, and talented man captivated has long been a topic of public curiosity. However, the identity of his marriage partner has been carefully kept secret, remaining hidden from the media.
The flesh of Yang Yi's manicure dug into her palm, and jealousy surged inside her, as if she were back in her freshman year. Fan Yao, her first love in her freshman year, was also the one she had always loved the most. However, she had never succeeded. No matter how she pursued, flattered, or even tempted, he remained unmoved, only coldly replying that he liked Lin Qingxu.
She dated so many rich second-generations, but unfortunately, the results were not satisfactory. They were always just attracted to her face, and ran away faster than anyone else when it came to real marriage.
As graduation was approaching, Yang Yi could only hastily pick a man who was willing to marry her. Over the years, she had endured the man's ugly face and flattery, but still ended up like this.
Fan Yao, Qu Wen, Kan Zhao, why is it that all the good things are attributed to her, Lin Qingxu?
Even they look so affectionate.

After getting in the car, Kan Zhao dropped his cold and distant demeanor. He loosened his tie, and his profile looked even more profound under the streetlight.
"Aren't you coming back in three days?"
Logically, Kan Zhao should be in faraway Sweden right now, not like this, looking like he'd just come from a makeup studio. He even had hairspray on his hair? He looked like a business elite, even his hair looked meticulously groomed.
"I have something to deal with at the company. I'll come back to deal with it and fly over tomorrow morning."
“So pitiful.”
"Hmm?" Kan Zhao didn't hear clearly.
Lin Qingxu shook his head slightly.
Lin Qingxu had never drunk much, only a little at night when she was toasted. She thought she wasn't drunk, but when the car turned a corner and the alcohol and sleepiness washed over her, she realized belatedly that the alcohol seemed to have a strong aftereffect.
Faintly, she heard Kan Zhao ask casually, "The skirt is beautiful. I've never seen you wear it before."
"I bought it when I was shopping with Yanyan a few days ago."
The night was thick, not too late, and the city was crowded with traffic. Cars had to stop at red lights every few steps.
Kan Zhao tapped the steering wheel rhythmically with his fingers and stopped talking.
The drive wasn’t long, and pedestrians were walking hurriedly. Occasionally, young couples would feed each other on the street, their figures shortened and lengthened by the street lights.
Lin Qingxu fell asleep against the car for a while, and only opened her eyes after the car was parked. She was dazed by the alcohol and waited for a while. When she found that Kan Zhao did not get out to help her, she didn't think much about it and prepared to reach out and get out on her own.
With a "click", the car door suddenly locked.
Lin Qingxu turned around in confusion.
But she saw Kan Zhao had already stepped over the center console and leaned over. The passenger seat slowly reclined, and he took her into his arms with one hand.
Lin Qingxu's cheeks were stained red by intoxication, the alcohol clouding her thoughts like a fog. Against the backdrop of the surrounding silence, the sound of her breathing and heartbeat was exceptionally loud, tearing at her eardrums. The lingering touch of their lips and tongues ignited a flame, a numbing heat coursing through her veins, paralyzing every nerve and causing her consciousness to gradually sink into a hazy state.
Kan Zhao gripped her slender waist in his palm and pulled her towards him irresistibly. Lin Qingxu lost control under his strong force and could only lean forward, kneeling on his tight thighs, the inside of her knees pressed against her hips, completely falling into his control.
His kiss carried an undeniable force. He licked and bit, conquering everything, leaving no room for compromise. Their intertwined lips and tongues produced a continuous, gurgling sound, and shimmering silver threads dangled from each other's tongues, entwined in a wet, sticky web.
The glass sealed every gap, and the cramped space became a steamer of desire. Heat waves surged layer by layer, and the stagnant air was wrapped in the scorching tide of emotions, suffocating and addicting.
…
Elevator leads directly into the home.
Kan Zhao held Lin Qingxu in one hand and unlocked the door with his fingerprint. When he entered, he saw Jin Yuanbao sitting at the entrance, waiting for them obediently.
Kan Zhao coldly ignored it, only thinking about more important things. He gently kicked it aside, but the clingy cat kept chasing them and followed them all the way to the bedroom.
But I saw someone slamming the door mercilessly:
"Sleep alone tonight."
How cold and heartless.
Jin Yuanbao angrily jumped onto the cat snack cabinet, grabbed a few cat snacks for himself, and drooled sadly.
