"Who is it?! You think I'm afraid of her? Are you kidding me? Me, a grown man, afraid of Xia Shishi?"
"Really? Aren't you afraid of your girlfriend?"
"Of course I'm not afraid. It's Xia Shishi who's afraid of me. If I tell her to go east, she won't dare to go west."
"Is that so?"
"Who! Who's speaking? It sounds so much like Xia Shishi's voice!"
"Rong Xu, could it be that you've done something wrong and have something to hide?" Wang Xinghe asked.
"How could that be? Even if I say it a hundred times, I'll still say it: I'm not afraid of that woman!"
"Rong Xu, you're finished!"
"Who! Whose voice is that? Am I really hallucinating?"
"Rong Xu! You bastard, where are you?"
"Wait a minute, did you guys hear that? Xia Shishi's voice?"
"Bro, you're in big trouble," the voice came from Xinghe's phone.
"Holy crap! Xinghe, you!"
"Well then, say a few words."
Wang Xinghe handed the phone to Rong Xu.
Rong Xu's expression as he held his phone looked like he was heading to his execution.
"Hello...hello, is this Shishi? Shishi, what are you doing?"
"Rong Xu! How dare you! You talk about me like that behind my back? You're dead! Just you wait, if you dare go home, I'll tear your mouth apart!"
"Um... Shishi, I have a lot of people here, they're all my classmates, please give me some face."
"Face? You still want face? You just wait!" Xia Shishi hung up the phone.
Rong Xu slumped into the chair.
"It's over, it's all over."
"Rongxu, what's going on? Didn't you say you weren't afraid of your girlfriend? What does this mean now?" Wu Luoxi asked.
"Xinghe, even you betrayed me!"
"I didn't. It was Shishi who happened to call me and wanted me to remind you to drink less alcohol."
"It's fake, you did it on purpose, now everything's ruined."
“When you get home, someone’s going to be kneeling on a keyboard. I heard you’ve worn out ten keyboards from kneeling on them.”
"Who said that! Xinghe, who told you that? I didn't say that!"
"Still being stubborn, huh? Have you forgotten what the relationship is between Qingmeng and Shishi?"
"Tsk tsk tsk, Rong Xu, you were quite the little devil in school, I never thought you'd be tamed by a woman," Fang Zhenliang remarked.
"Hahaha, Rongxu, Rongxu, you were bullied by me when we were in school, and now you're being exploited by your girlfriend. You're really miserable."
"I'm hungry! Wu Luoxi, hurry up and bring the food! Do you even know how to treat people? You called us here, and the food still hasn't arrived!"
"What's the rush? Okay, since someone wants to skip this topic, let's eat."
Wu Luoxi called the waiter and asked him to bring the food.
Would you like some alcohol?
"Of course I'll take them. Waiter, do you have any 1982 Lafite here? Bring me a few more bottles. And a few bottles of Maotai too, the more expensive the better."
"Rong Xu, are you getting revenge on me? I don't have that much money for you to mess with."
"Miss Wu wouldn't have money to treat us to a drink? You must be joking."
"Yes, there is, but why should I let you spend my money? Just a few bottles of regular Erguotou will do."
"So this is how you treat us? Listen to what the class monitor, Zheng Yang, and Xing He say—is this how you treat guests?"
"Alright, I'll treat you to this meal. Just order the most expensive dishes," Wang Xinghe said to the waiter.
"Yes, sir."
“I almost forgot, with you as my big spender, I’m going to fleece you! I’ll make sure you betray me!” Rong Xu said.
"However, I don't have any money either. Let me make a call to Mengmeng to apply for some."
"Tsk tsk tsk, handsome Xinghe, if you don't have money, I can treat you to this meal. Doesn't your wife give you any pocket money? You have to hand over all your earnings? Why don't you come with me? You can manage all my money," Chu Yundie said.
"Who are you having dinner with?" Liu Qingmeng's voice came from the phone.
"It's me, Rong Xu! I'm having dinner with two stunning beauties, both of whom are Wang Xinghe's old flames!" Rong Xu shouted.
Come on, let's hurt each other. Since you want me dead, I won't let you get away with it either.
"Old flame? Who is it?"
"They were two beautiful girls who were very close to Xinghe back in high school," Rong Xu continued.
"Mengmeng, don't listen to Rongxu's nonsense, it's just an old classmates' reunion."
"It's so late, are you going out to a party? Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
"It's me, Liu, the campus belle. Do you remember me?"
"Luo Xi?"
"Yeah, I just got back from abroad and was thinking of getting together with my classmates tonight. I just called Xinghe. Do you want to come? Xinghe can send you the address."
"It's okay, you guys have fun, I won't go, I'm busy tomorrow."
"Wow, Liu, the campus belle, aren't you angry? Shouldn't Wang Xinghe be made to kneel on a washboard?"
“I believe him, what’s wrong? Call me.”
"Mengmeng, can you transfer me some money? I'm treating today, I'm broke."
"Why didn't you just message me? Why did you call me?"
"It's okay, they're all classmates, and it's not right for a wife to manage the money, there's nothing shameful about it."
"Tsk tsk tsk!"
"Yo!"
"Wang Xinghe, showing off your love!"
"Okay, I'll transfer it to you. Don't stay out too late, go home early."
"Okay, bye-bye then."
"Why? Why isn't School Beauty Liu angry?"
"Because Mengmeng trusts me, you shouldn't try to sow discord between us. Instead, think about what you'll do when you go back."
Soon, the drinks Wang Xinghe ordered arrived. Of course, old classmates would drink when they got together.
After a few drinks, the atmosphere became noticeably more lively. It's true what they say, classmates are like old classmates; even after not seeing each other for years, they're still old classmates when they meet again, and they can reminisce about all sorts of things that happened during their school days.
Wang Xinghe went to the restroom and came out to find Wu Luoxi washing her hands.
When did you get back?
"Yesterday, I think."
"Are you leaving again this time?"
"I'm not leaving. I've been here for several years, but I still don't like life abroad. It's better in China. But you, you got engaged to Mengmeng after you came back."
"Yes, you've been dating for so long, it's time to get married. What about you? You've been abroad for four years, and you haven't dated anyone?"
"No, I went abroad to study and improve myself. See? CFA, Chartered Financial Analyst certification."
Is this certificate very impressive?
"What do you think? You know Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley, right? They offered me a $2 million annual salary, but I didn't stay. I still chose to go back to China."
"Great job, Ruoxi, you're amazing."
"That's true, but it's nothing compared to yours. Your XM system has caused a sensation in the industry."
"You knew about this even back in the UK?"
"Of course, have you forgotten what my profession is? On Wall Street, your XM system is a topic of conversation among many financial tycoons."
