On the way, Tong Yan looked at Xiao Chen several times, opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but when the words came to her lips, she didn't know how to start.
On the contrary, the handsome face looked as if it was painted with red makeup.
"What's wrong? If you want to say something, just say it."
Xiao Chen noticed Tong Yan's strangeness and asked with a smile.
"No, nothing."
Tong Yan shook her head in panic, her face couldn't help but get hot.
Xiao Chen was puzzled. What was wrong with this girl? Was there something that was hard to say?
Inside the car, the atmosphere was a little weird.
In order to break this weird atmosphere, Xiao Chen asked casually, "Tong Yan, you just said we were old classmates. Were you high school classmates? Or college classmates?"
"High school classmate."
"Oh, the friendship between classmates is indeed different. We should get together more often."
"Some classmates keep in touch with each other regularly. The one who initiated the gathering tonight was the senior class monitor, who just came back from abroad."
"Haha, elite returnees? They should be doing well!"
"I'm not sure. We haven't been in touch since we graduated from high school..."
"Um."
The two chatted casually while the Maserati roared and sped towards Lauren Cafe.
After more than half an hour, they arrived at Lauren Cafe.
Xiao Chen stopped the car, and the two got out and walked into the coffee shop.
"Welcome, do you have a reservation?"
The doorman asked with a smile.
"Yes." Xiao Chen nodded and glanced around, "Tong Yan, call your classmates and ask where they are."
"OK."
Tong Yan agreed, found the number and dialed it.
"Hello? Xiaoyan, are you here?"
"Yes, I'm here. I'm at the door."
"We are on the second floor, please come up quickly."
"good."
Tong Yan hung up the phone and went upstairs with Xiao Chen.
Lauren Cafe is considered high-end in the whole of Longhai!
The decoration is very exquisite, everything is in Western style. In the center of the roof, there is a huge crystal chandelier hanging, shining brightly!
The cafe has two floors with a hollow space in the middle. In the center of the first floor there is a stage with a piano on it.
A handsome pianist is playing "Romeo and Juliet". The notes beat gently, which makes people's hearts calm down.
As soon as Xiao Chen and Tong Yan went up to the second floor, they saw a girl who could score 85 points was already waiting there.
When she saw Xiao Chen next to Tong Yan, she was stunned. Why was there a man there?
"Xiaoying."
Tong Yan saw that the girl was in a daze and greeted her.
"Xiao Yan, why did you bring a man here?"
The girl reacted and asked anxiously.
"Didn't I just tell you that I was with my friends?"
"But...but you didn't say it was a boy, I thought it was a girl!"
The girl was a little anxious. What should she do in this situation?
"Brother Chen, let me introduce you to Zheng Ying."
Tong Yan introduced it to Xiao Chen.
"Hello, my name is Xiao Chen, nice to meet you."
Xiao Chen smiled and nodded at the girl. She seemed a little...unwelcoming to him?
"Hello."
Zheng Ying nodded, then looked at Xiao Chen carefully. Well, at first glance, he was very handsome.
Then, she began to speculate about Xiao Chen’s identity and what was his relationship with Tong Yan?
Could it be that he is Tong Yan’s boyfriend?
You know, she and Tong Yan are best friends and know each other well!
As far as she could remember, Tong Yan had never dated a guy before...
Moreover, if the two of them had no relationship, given Tongyan's personality, would she bring this man here?
Thinking about the situation that might arise next, Zheng Ying felt a headache. She regretted calling Tong Yan over!
Tonight is the party initiated by Class Monitor Sun. He has liked Tong Yan since he was in his third year of high school, and has been pursuing Tong Yan for a whole year, but has never received any response!
Now, he has returned from abroad, initiated a party, and specifically invited Tong Yan!
Everyone knows what he is thinking!
Zheng Ying couldn’t imagine what kind of sparks would be created when these two men met later!
"Xiao Yan, did you do this on purpose?"
Zheng Ying pulled Tong Yan aside and asked in a low voice.
"Intentionally? What do you mean?"
"You knew Sun Jianyu liked you, but you still brought a man here?"
“…”
"Tell me the truth, what is your relationship with this man?"
When Tong Yan heard her bestie's words, she glanced at Xiao Chen and hesitated for a moment: "Friend."
"Really just ordinary friends?"
"No...how can it be ordinary."
Tong Yan thought of what she said to Xiao Chen and said in a low voice.
“…”
"Don't ask any more questions. I'll tell you another day."
"Can you let him leave first?"
Zheng Ying glanced at Xiao Chen and asked.
"If he leaves, then I'll leave too."
"That's enough, I'm afraid of you... Sun Jianyu is coming!"
Zheng Ying was about to say something, but out of the corner of her eye she saw a young man approaching.
"Zheng Ying, Xiao Yan, what are you talking about?"
A young man with a good temperament came over with a smile.
When his eyes fell on Tong Yan, his eyes couldn't help but light up.
"Xiao Yan, I haven't seen you for three years. You've become more beautiful... Come, let's hug you according to Western etiquette."
Sun Jianyu said this, opening his arms and was about to hug Tong Yan.
Tong Yan looked at Sun Jianyu's open arms, took a step back, stretched out her right hand, and said with a polite smile: "Thank you, Sun Jianyu, welcome back home."
“…”
Sun Jianyu's movements froze, and the smile on his face became a little unnatural.
Zheng Ying, on the other hand, reacted quickly and tried to smooth things over with a smile: "Captain Sun, now that you're back in China, don't try to follow the Western way. In our country, handshakes are still popular, not hugs."
Hearing Zheng Ying's words, Sun Jianyu smiled again and nodded: "Blame me, blame me. I have been abroad for too long, and some things have become a habit..."
After saying that, he stretched out his right hand and shook hands with Tong Yan. He squeezed her soft little hand with a little force and couldn't help but feel his heart moved.
This soft little hand had haunted him three years ago... However, he never fulfilled his wish and went abroad!
This time, he came back to China as an elite returnee, and he regarded himself as a successful person in the future, so he had to work hard to get what he couldn't get before!
What you can’t get will always cause you trouble!
Although, he already has a wife, but what does it matter?
Isn't it normal for an elite like him to have more women?
What's more, he doesn't love his wife. If his wife's family wasn't rich, he would never have chosen her!
While abroad, he had been following Tong Yan's news and knew about her family's difficulties, so he felt that the opportunity had come.
After returning to China, he saw Tong Yan's recent photos and felt that he deserved this woman and that only he was worthy of her!
Now, when he saw her in person, he was even more amazed. She was more beautiful and charming than in the photo... He had to win her over!
Tong Yan felt Sun Jianyu's little movement, frowned slightly, and broke free from his hand.
"Haha, Xiaoyan, the first thing I did after returning to China was to inquire about you... My original intention has not changed, I still..."
"Sun Jianyu, let me introduce you to a friend."
Tong Yan didn't wait for Xiao Chen to finish speaking, she turned her head to look at Xiao Chen with a smile.
Just now, Xiao Chen had been standing by and watching, and he also noticed something.
This squad leader Sun used to like Tong Yan, but Tong Yan didn’t like him!
Later, he went abroad to study, and the two had no contact for many years. Now he has returned to China and plans to pursue Tong Yan again.
However, Tong Yan still didn't like him, otherwise she wouldn't have taken two steps back and not even given him a hug!
Hearing Tong Yan's words, Sun Jianyu turned his head and looked. What? Did he come with Tong Yan?
Just now, he thought it was the waiter who led the way!
"Brother Chen, this is Sun Jianyu whom I introduced to you on the way..."
"Hello, my name is Xiao Chen, nice to meet you."
Xiao Chen nodded. Although he said so, he was too lazy to even extend his hand.
Sun Jianyu looked Xiao Chen up and down, and a bit of hostility rose in his heart. Who is this guy? What is his relationship with Tong Yan?
Could it be her boyfriend?
That’s not right. He had asked Zheng Ying before, Tong Yan doesn’t have a boyfriend!
As his thoughts turned to his mind, a hint of viciousness flashed in Sun Jianyu's eyes. He smiled with his face but not his heart, and stretched out his right hand: "Haha, hello, I'm glad to meet you too... Come on, let's shake hands."
Xiao Chen noticed the viciousness in Sun Jianyu's eyes, and his heart moved. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly: "Okay." As he said that, he shook hands with Sun Jianyu.
When the two hands were clasped together, Sun Jianyu's hands obviously increased in strength.
He has a very good grip. When he was abroad, even some foreigners suffered from his mistakes!
Therefore, he was sure that he could make Xiao Chen look bad in front of Tong Yan!
But to his surprise, as he increased his strength, Xiao Chen seemed to feel nothing, and his hands seemed to have no bones, just like a piece of dough!
Even if he used his greatest strength, Xiao Chen did not react, and even the smile on his face did not change at all!
He really wanted to ask Xiao Chen, boy, aren’t you in pain?
However, before he could finish his thought, he felt the soft, boneless hand in his palm suddenly harden!
Then, a great force came, and Xiao Chen's hands were no longer dough, but seemed to have turned into a pair of pliers, slowly squeezing his bones!
“Hmm…”
Sun Jianyu gritted his teeth, trying not to scream, but cold sweat broke out on his forehead!
It hurts, it really fucking hurts!
He felt his hand bones making a crackling sound, as if they were being crushed into pieces!
"Mr. Sun, you were doing well abroad, why did you come back? Are you planning to return to serve the country?"
Xiao Chen held Sun Jianyu's hand and asked with a smile.
"To... my motherland, you gave birth to me, raised me, and nurtured me... now that I have finished my studies, I should... return to serve my motherland..."
Sun Jianyu gritted his teeth and uttered these words intermittently from between his teeth.
"Haha, Mr. Sun has a patriotic heart. I admire you! The construction of our motherland only needs elites like Mr. Sun to contribute!"
After Xiao Chen finished speaking, he didn't want to embarrass Sun Jianyu and let go of his right hand.
"Haha...it's okay, it's okay."
Sun Jianyu forced a smile and quickly hid his right hand, which was trembling in pain, behind his back to avoid being seen by Tong Yan.
