◇ 【132】 High School Reunion (3)
While waiting for a taxi, Liao Tianming secretly used his mobile phone to calculate the cost of singing, eating and staying in a hotel for the next thirty or forty people. It would be at least more than 60,000 yuan. He cursed inwardly, "Damn, rich people really don't treat money as money."
He couldn't help but look at Gu Juan and Xi Lang again. The two of them were standing at the back without realizing it, and it was unclear what they were talking about. Gu Juan had a smile on his lips the whole time, and the tenderness in Xi Lang's eyes when he looked at him was not hidden from others.
But no matter what, Gu Juan still bled. Thinking of this, Liao Tianming felt a little better.
Gu Juan took in his expression, completely understanding his thoughts, and shook his head. Such a narrow-minded person was destined to achieve nothing great. A few tens of thousands of yuan was indeed a lot, but when a person had enough assets, money was just a number to them. So far, he had donated nearly ten million yuan, so how could he still care about a few thousand yuan?
"The car is coming."
There were thirty-nine people in the group, so a dozen taxis were needed. Gu Juan, Xi Lang, and the squad leader shared a car and went to Huangting KTV to arrange their trip. They booked a luxurious private room and ordered a set menu for 888 yuan. Including drinks and snacks, the total cost was no more than 5,000 yuan.
When they got to the KTV, singing was the main activity. Gu Juan and Xi Lang were encouraged to sing a song each and they also sang a song together, which was quite interesting.
Because there were so many people, each person basically sang a song, which added up to quite a while. It was already past midnight when they came out of the KTV, so Gu Juan took everyone to Chenxiang Garden, a five-minute drive away, for a midnight snack.
Chenxiangyuan is one of the five most famous restaurants in Congzhou. Its specialty dishes have even been featured on CCTV's food program, which shows its fame. Gu Juan and Xi Lang basically come here for a meal every time they come to Congzhou. Xi Lang also has a VIP card here.
After entering the door, Gu Juan very naturally took out Xi Lang's wallet from his pocket, took out the VIP card inside and handed it to the counter.
The manager personally arranged for the group to sit in a large private room. The exquisite decoration and comfortable furnishings in the room made Liu Guang and others look around unconsciously.
Liao Tianming was also in such a high-end restaurant for the first time. He felt very uncomfortable and stood up in less than ten seconds. "You guys chat, I'm going to the bathroom."
After exiting, he closed the door behind him and snorted with disdain for Gu Juan and Xi Lang. But then, thinking of the respect and flattery the manager and waiter showered upon Gu Juan when he handed over his VIP card, the jealousy he'd suppressed surged again. How could an orphan have such good luck? He estimated that Gu Juan's personal assets were worth tens of millions, if not hundreds of millions. Tens of millions, he couldn't even imagine. He'd worked so hard at that company, and now his total assets were only a few hundred thousand.
He turned his head to look at the closed door, then walked towards the bathroom angrily. He almost bumped into someone when he entered, so he quickly steadied himself.
"Feel sorry."
"Isn't this Tianming?" The man who was almost hit saw Liao Tianming's appearance clearly and spoke.
Liao Tianming felt the voice was familiar. He looked up and was delighted. "Brother Bofei! What a coincidence! Happy New Year." The man in front of him was Sun Bofei, his cousin's son. He was of a special status, the son of the head of the Imperial Capital Procuratorate. Compared to Sun Bofei, who was Xi Lang?
"Happy New Year." Sun Bofei asked casually, "Why are you here?"
Liao Tianming sighed and said, "Cousin, don't mention it. Today is our high school reunion. I treated them to a meal with good intentions but got slapped in the face." He shook his head as he spoke.
"Oh?" Sun Bofei smiled softly, thinking he was really a child. He glanced at his watch and said, "Since they are your classmates, I should go and say hello and thank them for taking care of you."
Liao Tianming's face suddenly showed joy, "Thank you, cousin."
He turned and walked towards the box.
"Didn't you want to go to the bathroom just now?" Sun Bofei said with a smile.
Liao Tianming said, "Cousin must be here with friends, right? I'll go to the bathroom later."
Sun Bofei nodded indifferently and said nothing more.
Liao Tianming pushed open the door of the box and couldn't suppress the smile on his face.
"Who is this?" The squad leader saw Sun Bofei first.
"Let me introduce you. This is my cousin Sun Bofei, the son of the president of the Imperial Capital Procuratorate." Liao Tianming looked proud.
Liu Guang, Xu Yang and the others' expressions changed immediately. They all felt a little awkward unconsciously and greeted Sun Bofei politely, "It's you, Mr. Sun. Nice to meet you."
Gu Juan and Xi Lang looked at each other in surprise and smiled at the same time.
Neither of them looked at Liao Tianming, who felt annoyed. He walked over with Sun Bofei and said, "Gu Juan, Mr. Xi, let me introduce you. This is Mr. Sun, my cousin."
Liu Guang, Xu Yang and the squad leader all frowned. It was definitely impossible for Sun Bofei to introduce Sun Bofei to Gu Juan and Xi Lang alone out of good intentions.
"Oh—Young Master Sun." Gu Juan said with a smile, "I've heard a lot about you."
Xi Lang also extended his hand and said jokingly, "I've heard a lot about you."
Liao Tianming was very angry when he saw that they didn't even stand up.
Sun Bofei was surprised to see Gu Juan and Xi Lang. He reached out and patted their shoulders simultaneously, glancing at Liao Tianming vaguely. "Don't give me that. Third Young Master Xi, Gu Juan, why are you here?"
Xi Lang shrugged, "I'm accompanying Xiaojuan to attend the class reunion."
Liao Tianming was shocked. Sun Bofei actually called Xi Lang "Third Young Master Xi". Could it be that Xi Lang's status was also quite high?
Everyone else couldn't help but laugh. Liao Tianming called his cousin over obviously wanting his cousin to support him. Who would have thought that his cousin not only knew Gu Juan and Xi Lang, but also called Xi Lang "Third Young Master Xi", and it seemed that they had a pretty good relationship.
"Bofei, why are you here?" Xi Lang asked Sun Bofei.
Xu Yang was very considerate and gave up his seat to Sun Bofei.
"Come to my uncle's house to pay New Year's greetings." Sun Bofei pointed at Liao Tianming, "This is the son of my cousin."
Xi Lang understood and realized that he meant they were just distant relatives.
Sun Bofei smiled and asked Gu Juan, "How about Er Jianmei? If you like dogs, I have a few small ones."
Sun Bofei was Xi Lang's college classmate, and Gu Juan had known Sun Bofei for a long time, and they were also friends. Gu Juan's dog, Er Jianmei, was the one Xi Lang got from Sun Bofei.
Speaking of Erjianmei, Gu Juan also smiled. It can be said that Erjianmei is the token of love between him and Xi Lang. "Erjianmei is very good. However, the old man and I have no plans to raise another one for the time being. Let's talk about it later."
Sun Bofei had some friends over there, so he chatted with Xi Lang and Gu Juan for a while, ordered a few bottles of red wine for them before leaving.
Liao Tianming remained silent afterwards.
By the time the party was finally over, it was already past one o'clock.
Gu Juan and Xi Lang also stayed at the Xiangyuan Hotel. The next morning, the classmates had breakfast together before parting ways and made an appointment to get together again when they were free.
After getting in the car, Gu Juan lazily lay on Xi Lang's legs and said, "I won't attend any more class reunions."
Xi Lang pulled him up so that he could lie more comfortably.
At this time, they were in a taxi on the way to the airport.
"What's wrong? Who made you unhappy?"
Gu Juan shook his head and said, "No, I just think it's boring."
Xi Lang's thighs felt a little itchy from being rubbed by him, and something in him was about to stir. He pinched his earlobe as punishment, "Then you won't participate. Don't move."
Gu Juan chuckled, turned over to face him, hugged his waist and closed his eyes, his voice lazy and seductive, "Old man, I want to sleep for a while."
The warm breath sprayed gently on his abdomen. Xi Lang suspected that he did it on purpose, so he patted his butt lightly and hugged him tightly, "Go to sleep."
