Chen Chaoyue's face turned ashen, his fists clenched tightly. Jiang Jiewen's actions had humiliated him; his million-dollar sports car was overshadowed by someone else's electric vehicle.
The classmates of Jiang Chen were equally stunned. The untouchable Jiang Jiewen actually sat in Jiang Chen's electric car, which was utterly unexpected.
Especially Qi Mu, Wang Yong, and Wu Qianyi, who were so astonished that their eyes nearly popped out.
"How does Jiang Chen know Jiang Jiewen?" one of them exclaimed.
"I've never seen Jiang Chen approach Jiang Jiewen during junior high. They shouldn't have known each other back then, right?" another questioned.
"How could they not know each other? A beauty like Jiang Jiewen is hard to miss. But at that time, Jiang Chen was under Lin Jingzhu's watchful eye; how could he dare to approach Jiang Jiewen? However, I heard that Lin Jingzhu and Jiang Jiewen are good friends and get along well."
"Oh, that makes sense. If Lin Jingzhu and Jiang Jiewen are close friends, I guess Jiang Chen must have known Jiang Jiewen for a long time but just didn't tell us. By the way, how did Lin the Beautiful end up dumping Jiang Chen?"
"This guy didn't even get into college; of course, Lin the Beautiful would dump him. But it seems like Jiang Da Beauty actually likes Jiang Chen. He never mentioned Jiang Jiewen to us; he's kept it under wraps pretty well."
The three of them immediately erupted in chatter. Usually low-key, Jiang Chen unexpectedly stole the spotlight today, drawing more attention than Chen Chaoyue with his flashy sports car.
Jiang Jiewen sat behind Jiang Chen in the electric car, initially holding onto his shirt but gradually testing the waters to see if she could wrap her arms around him.
"Is it cold?" Jiang Chen suddenly asked.
"Uh, no, not at all," Jiang Jiewen quickly replied. The weather was nice today; the sun was high in the sky, and the dry air felt warm rather than chilly. Most importantly, her excitement made her oblivious to any cold.
Due to Jiang Chen's sudden question, she hesitated to reach out and embrace him again and instead held onto his shirt obediently.
"Jiang Chen, it's been a while. I thought you wouldn't come to the gathering today since you haven't been in touch for the past two years," Jiang Jiewen said as she tried to strike up a conversation.
"I've been in seclusion for the past two years," Jiang Chen casually explained.
"Oh." Since she had kept in contact with both Jiang Chen and Lin Jingzhu, she was aware of his capabilities and wasn't too surprised by his explanation of being in seclusion.
Ten minutes later, as they arrived at the Golden Qilin Hotel, Jiang Jiewen felt a twinge of regret for not taking the chance to hug Jiang Chen.
Most of the others had also arrived. No matter how fast Jiang Chen's little electric scooter was, it couldn't compare to a car. Chen Chaoyue drove his sports car right up to Jiang Chen, making his intentions clear: "See? I'm driving a sports car while you're on an electric scooter. You think you can compete with me for girls?"
Jiang Chen ignored Chen Chaoyue's provocation and walked into the hotel lobby with Jiang Jiewen. The hotel restaurant was spacious enough; it could easily accommodate not just two classes but even four classes dining together comfortably.
Seeing that Jiang Chen didn't even glance at him made Chen Chaoyue increasingly displeased. However, given the occasion, he couldn't explode with anger and instead walked into the hotel with a cold expression.
"Jiang Chen, after we finish eating, can we find a place to sit and chat?" Jiang Jiewen asked hopefully.
"Sure," Jiang Chen nodded in agreement.
Upon hearing his response, a smile broke out on Jiang Jiewen's delicate face, her dimples showing as joy radiated from her.
