It was just a glass of wine, but the smell of gunpowder was so strong that it was hard to breathe even across the table.
Zhao Yuanyuan pulled Xiang Wan down to sit, repeatedly advising her not to stir up trouble at the dinner table, lest things get really heated and become unmanageable.
Xiang Wan raised an eyebrow. Was she that kind of person?
The crowd looked at Xiao Ming with a hint of pity. So this was his daily life. No wonder he wanted a divorce.
Zhou Sulan was about to say something when she was interrupted by the waiter serving the food.
It's supposed to be a five-star hotel, but the food takes so long to arrive. I don't know how they got that rating.
One dish after another was served, and the table was soon filled.
With hot food served and after waiting for so long, everyone was starving and focused on eating, no longer saying a word.
At her usual pace, Xiang Wan quickly filled her stomach and then ladled out a bowl of soup to drink slowly, watching with interest as everyone else ate.
The ladies barely touched their food, only taking a few bites of the dishes. The men ate a lot and drank quite a bit of alcohol. Xiang Wan watched for a while and found that only Gan Xiaochen and another female classmate ate in a proper manner, taking small bites and chewing slowly and deliberately. Watching them made Xiang Wan's cheeks ache. They chewed each bite of food twenty or thirty times, feeling full without even eating anything else. It was exhausting.
Many people put down their chopsticks and chatted with those around them.
Since she had already confronted Zhou Sulan before the meal started, the seat between them was empty. Zhou Sulan ate her food while turning her back to her. After finishing her meal, she started glaring at her. Xiang Wan counted, about once every twenty seconds, more frequent than she ever did when checking her rearview mirror while driving.
Now that we've eaten and drunk our fill, it's time to find some fun.
"Zhou Sulan, is there something on my face?" Xiang Wan touched her face. "It's quite smooth. Could it be that you've taken a liking to my face and want to get plastic surgery in Korea to look like me?"
"Tch, you're really trying to make yourself look good," Zhou Sulan scoffed, glancing at the ceiling. "I'm just looking at your face, how much makeup did you put on to make it so thick?"
Xiang Wan smiled brightly, "There's nothing I can do, God is too kind to me, giving me a face full of collagen. It is indeed a bit thick, and it's also anti-aging. I can't help but think that if I still have this face at the next gathering, it will be too enviable. Sigh, it's so troublesome!"
"Really? Too many cosmetic injections will turn you into an old hag sooner or later. Don't come out and scare people when you do, our hearts can't take it."
Short? Zhou Sulan actually changed her tone?
"So fragile? Should I introduce you to a few doctors who specialize in chest pain and can even revive you if your heart stops beating? They can save your life in critical moments."
"Keep it to yourself, so you don't get too stressed and suddenly find yourself going to meet your maker."
Xiang Wan thought about it carefully and replied, "I'm more curious about what kind of stimulation would make me go to the King of Hell."
"Hmph, you asked for this. Let me tell you, Xiaochen and Xiao..."
"Sulan, have some tea to soothe your throat."
Xiang Wan looked slightly disappointed as Gan Xiaochen interrupted her.
Xiang Wan glanced at Xiao Ming and saw his furrowed brows. She knew this must be related to him. Otherwise, what could possibly trigger her to contact Gan Xiaochen again?
"Classmates, it's not easy for us to get together like this, how about we join a group chat?"
The man in the white shirt took out his phone, created a group chat, and started scanning each other's QR codes. He glanced at Xiao Ming's phone occasionally, looked at him in shock several times, and seeing that the latter's expression was normal, he couldn't help but glance at it again to confirm that it was indeed his phone.
The fat guy pressed a few buttons, looked up and saw that the man in the white shirt looked a little off, and couldn't help but blurt out, "Damn, what kind of look is that? You don't actually have a crush on Xiao, the school heartthrob, do you? After all these years, I have to remind you, don't be impulsive!"
Still as sarcastic as ever, the man in the white shirt glared at the fat man several times, saying irritably, "Damn fatso, no one's as impulsive as you. What do you know? I was shocked, shocked, don't you understand?"
"Now that you mention it, we're all curious. What's unusual about it? Tell us, and let us all be shocked together."
"Yes, don't keep it to yourself, tell me."
Everyone's eyes were shining. While Xiao Ming was putting down his phone, the man in the white shirt snatched it away and threw it to the fat man.
"If I told you that our Brother Xiao has a goal, would you believe me?"
"Really? This is something to celebrate, so let's not keep it a secret and let us all have a good laugh."
Xiao Ming realized what was happening and got up to grab the phone, but the fat guy tossed it to one of the other male classmates. After circling around several times, Xiao Ming hadn't even touched the phone, so he simply sat back down. He figured he had nothing to hide; let them look if they wanted.
The phone eventually ended up in Jasper Tsang's hands. He zoomed in on the screen, and four large, glaring words in the contacts list stunned everyone.
Everyone looked at Xiao Ming with disbelief, never expecting him to be this kind of person; they had really misjudged him before.
Xiang Wan was internally aggravated by suppressing her laughter, but she didn't show it on her face. It was just a joke, and she thought Xiao Ming would change his ways when he got back, but she didn't expect him to be this lazy. Now that everyone had brought it up, he was the one who would lose face, so she couldn't be blamed.
Four "goddesses" who shocked everyone so much that they were ranked first in the contacts list, and even starred, so no one bothered to look at any other names that followed.
After holding the screen around for a while, Tsang Yok-shing wanted to look at it again, but Xiao Ming, without batting an eye, snatched it away.
Everyone was stunned; their intense curiosity was aroused and they couldn't suppress it.
Seeing everyone's gossipy expressions, Xiang Wan noticed that Gan Xiaochen, who had always been regarded as the goddess in the hearts of the male students, had her ears turning red and dared not look Xiao Ming in the eye.
