Cheng Yuanxu meant well.
He didn't have any bad intentions; he just thought that if he gave Jiang Tian a reason, she might come to the class reunion, and then they would have more time to talk.
The problem is that his good intentions don't mean others have to agree with him or pay for his words.
Even though he brought up a big shot, Jiang Tian still shook her head: "I'm sorry, I have my own things to do and it's impossible for me to go to the class reunion. I hope you can understand."
Her rejection greatly disappointed Cheng Yuanxu.
He couldn't really explain his inner feelings.
He saw a certain sense of fragility in Jiang Tian.
Even though they hadn't seen this woman in a long time, and she had become more beautiful, her brokenness still gave him an urge to reach out to her.
"Don't you remember Zhao Mingyao? I heard she's living a very good life now. She married the famous rich second-generation Shen Dingkun. If she comes to the class reunion, she'll definitely donate money, and everyone will receive a gift. If you come here, you can also play with everyone and even get a photo with Zhao Mingyao. Many people want to take a photo with her. After all, she was a very popular figure at school, and now her husband is so successful."
Cheng Yuanxu spoke very quickly, repeatedly emphasizing how impressive the person he had invited was.
Zhao Mingyao was indeed a prominent figure at their university.
Compared to others, she possesses stronger social skills. Already very likable, her outgoing personality has earned her even more fans.
Later, because a rich second-generation pursued her, her social status rose to another level.
In any case, Zhao Mingyao was very popular at school, and few people in the university did not know her.
At that time, Zhao Mingyao also participated in a TV variety show, where she was very lively and cheerful.
People who can appear on variety shows are considered public figures by others.
Later, Zhao Mingyao did not experience a decline after a promising start; she became a wealthy wife in the eyes of others.
It is said that because the Shen family has strict rules and is a true wealthy family, Zhao Mingyao gradually disappeared from everyone's sight.
Otherwise, a wealthy woman like her would definitely have gained a lot of fans.
When Cheng Yuanxu mentioned Zhao Mingyao, his voice noticeably rose.
How wonderful it is to have access to her social circle.
As it happened, he had some connection with Zhao Mingyao during his university years, which gave him access to her social circle.
The purpose of this class reunion is for everyone to get together and for those who are capable to show off.
Cheng Yuanxu and others put in a lot of effort to plan this party, and it has now been very successful.
He even managed to get Zhao Mingyao involved.
Because she wasn't in the same year as them, many people welcomed her to the class reunion.
The more someone wants to show off, the more they want to show off to people of value.
If others see their prowess and they gain even more benefits while showing off, wouldn't that be even better?
From this perspective, Cheng Yuanxu has every right to be proud.
He was able to invite Zhao Mingyao, who was considered a goddess by others, which is simply amazing.
Cheng Yuanxu usually doesn't like to boast to others, but today, in order to invite Jiang Tian, he really told her everything.
Unfortunately, even after bringing up a big shot in other people's eyes, Jiang Tian's expression didn't change at all.
She said she wouldn't go, and that was it; no matter what others said, she wouldn't go.
“I remember her, but that’s not a reason for me to go to the class reunion. I really don’t want to go, and I hope you can respect that.”
Jiang Tian's voice was very calm.
But the fact that she said those words also revealed some of her emotions at that moment.
Cheng Yuanxu could tell that Jiang Tian was serious this time, and he awkwardly scratched the back of his head: "Since you don't want to go, then forget it. I'm sorry to have bothered you."
"Let's stop here for now, I need to go eat."
"Let me treat you. What would you and your cousin like to eat? I'll treat you!"
Cheng Yuanxu immediately seized the opportunity and offered to treat everyone.
Jiang Tian faced him and slowly shook her head: "Cheng Yuanxu, I'm glad to have met you, but university is only a part of my life experience, not my whole life. I have my own plans for my life. I know you want me to be involved in your circle, but I don't want to, and I don't need to. I just want to leave here now. Can you respect that?"
Jiang Tian mentioned respect twice, and her condition visibly worsened.
Cheng Yuanxu suddenly couldn't laugh anymore.
He knew he meant well but did something wrong.
But all he really wanted was for Jiang Tian to re-enter his circle.
Cheng Yuanxu would be content as long as he could see her again.
But his actions clearly pushed Jiang Tian away.
"You teach at this university?"
Wei Su spoke coldly.
Cheng Yuanxu heard his voice, looked at him, and remained silent for a moment in the face of his sinister gaze.
"You teach at this university, right? I overheard that part of your conversation."
Cheng Yuanxu asked somewhat uncertainly, "What do you mean by that?"
He had already sensed that Wei Su's arrival was ill-intentioned.
Just as Wei Su was about to say something, Jiang Tian tugged at his sleeve: "Let's go."
Seeing the determination in Jiang Tian's eyes, Wei Su slowly smiled and said, "Okay."
Jiang Tian ignored Cheng Yuanxu and pulled Wei Su away.
Watching their retreating figures, Cheng Yuanxu felt a deep unease in his heart.
He messed up today's meeting. Will they ever have a chance to meet again?
Nobody knows the answer.
On the way, Wei Su drove, and Jiang Tian sat in the passenger seat.
After a moment of silence, Jiang Tian's voice rang out: "Don't make things difficult for Cheng Yuanxu, and don't seek revenge on him."
"This is my business, you don't need to worry about it."
Wei Su kept his eyes fixed ahead, not looking at her.
“I know you’re standing up for me, but I hope you can stop. He’s just an ordinary classmate. Maybe he lacks boundaries and is annoying, but he shouldn’t lose his job. He works part-time at our university and finally got a stable job. We can’t let him lose his job and suddenly fall into hell just because he offended me a little.”
Wei Su did not speak; his silence indicated that he did not agree with Jiang Tian's statement at all.
"Please promise me, I don't want to hurt others because of me. In these economic conditions, losing a job is like taking his life. I don't want you to treat the people I know that way."
"So it doesn't matter if he hurts you or speaks rudely to you, but you only feel his malice when he hits you on the head?"
