"Let's go..."
After the luxurious car drove away, Ye Fan called out, and Li Hong hurriedly followed behind.
Soon, the two arrived at the venue for the gathering.
Ye Fan was the first to exit the parking lot, while Li Hong stealthily blended into the crowd.
This was exactly what Ye Fan wanted; as long as he wasn't associated with him, it was fine.
With Ye Fan in this situation, Li Hong had no other options.
Entering a private room that had been booked for the event, Li Hong casually found a seat and sat down.
"Hey, who are you?"
As soon as he sat down, a young man with black-rimmed glasses frowned and asked.
Li Hong's face was too unfamiliar; he couldn't recognize all his classmates, but at least most of them were known to him. After thinking for a moment, he still couldn't figure out who Li Hong was.
Li Hong's eyes darted around before he suddenly threw an arm around Glasses Guy's shoulder and leaned in to whisper, "Hmm, I just got back from Korea. Don't go telling anyone."
Glasses Guy instantly understood and patted his chest seriously, saying, "That's why I didn't recognize you! So you went... cough cough, no worries, I promise to keep it a secret."
Li Hong was quite pleased and patted Glasses Guy on the shoulder. "Not bad, not bad. It's worth sharing my little secret with you!"
Glasses Guy suddenly had a realization and quickly asked, "I remember now! You're that person... Shen Hengxu, right?"
"That's not it at all! I thought after all these years you would have forgotten me," Li Hong pretended to be pleasantly surprised.
"How is that even possible?" exclaimed Glasses Guy excitedly. "If it weren't for you driving me around back then, I wouldn't have understood anything about relationships. With my old studious self, I probably wouldn't have found a girlfriend by now. I should really thank you for that."
With that, Glasses Guy pulled out his phone and showed a picture of a chubby, freckled woman, grinning as he said, "Look, this is my wife now."
Li Hong felt a bead of sweat form on his forehead. Why would he choose such a wife and even flaunt her?
"Wow, brother, your wife is actually not bad. If we weren't friends, I might have tried to steal her away," he complimented, despite the disdain bubbling inside him.
After sending Glasses Guy on his way, Li Hong successfully adopted a new identity.
Shen Hengxu, a graduate of Hai University, from the same dormitory as Glasses Guy.
With this identity, Li Hong smoothly struck up conversations with other classmates.
When someone asked about his changed appearance, he casually mentioned cosmetic surgery. In any case, with his knack for chatting, Li Hong quickly blended in with most of the crowd.
Of course, most of these people were those who hadn't fared well in life.
The ones who had done well formed their own circle, and Li Hong couldn't break into that.
Watching Li Hong flit around the private room like a social butterfly made Ye Fan feel quite troubled.
This guy was truly a nuisance; if he had known, he wouldn't have brought him along.
"Look over there! That's Shen Hengxu. He used to be quite handsome. Now he's gone and had plastic surgery—it's one thing to get work done, but to make himself look worse..."
"Yeah, it seems like something happened that ruined his looks, right?"
"It should be like that..."
One sentence after another reached Ye Fan's ears, making him even more anxious.
Damn it, this guy is just pretending!
Ye Fan couldn't imagine how Shun Hengxu would react if he found out he had unknowingly been blamed for getting plastic surgery.
A male classmate leaned over, patted Ye Fan on the shoulder, and asked, "Hey Ye Fan, did Shun Hengxu really get plastic surgery? His appearance has changed way too much!"
"How would I know..." Ye Fan replied dryly.
If he had known that Li Hong would stir up so much trouble, he wouldn't have brought him along.
Now everyone in the class knew that Shun Hengxu had actually gone to Korea for surgery!
Knowing the real Shun Hengxu was carrying such a heavy burden.
"Thank goodness Shun Hengxu didn't come; otherwise, it would have been a hassle," Ye Fan thought to himself.
Just as everyone was chatting happily, the door to the private room opened once again.
A woman dressed in a white cashmere sweater and a flowing skirt with rounded edges walked in.
Seeing her delicate and playful face, Ye Fan couldn't help but hold his breath.
There he was, the person he had been thinking about day and night—the former campus beauty of Hai University, Qi Yunqian!
However, behind Qi Yunqian stood a man for some unknown reason. And this man, Li Hong recognized!
"White Face?" Li Hong exclaimed in shock.
"What White Face?" Ye Fan, who had walked up to him, frowned and asked.
The appearance of a stranger next to Qi Yunqian made him naturally tense. Seeing Li Hong's reaction, it seemed he knew that young man, which only piqued Ye Fan's curiosity further.
"It's nothing. He's not your rival; he's your future brother-in-law," Li Hong casually remarked.
Ye Fan's handsome face flushed instantly as he asked, "How do you know that?"
"From the sixth sense of a single dog."
Ye Fan: "..."
That answer was truly hard to refute!
As Qi Yunqian entered the private room, the atmosphere reached a peak.
"Everyone, it's not easy for us to gather from different places. I have a suggestion: why don't we extend our gathering?" a well-respected male classmate spoke up.
Naturally, there was no opposition to this proposal.
"Alright then, it seems like Mount Tai is a good option nearby. Let's go visit Mount Tai together tomorrow."
Li Hong and Ye Fan, as two bystanders, quietly watched the unfolding drama.
"This is unbelievable; how come no one has come out to provoke you?"
Ye Fan shot Li Hong a glare and replied irritably, "What nonsense are you thinking about all night? We're all classmates; how could something like that happen?"
"Alright, alright, you're right!" Li Hong quickly raised his hands in surrender.
"It's been a while, Ye Fan," Qi Yunqian said as she approached, her smile radiant.
"Yeah, it has been a long time!"
The two exchanged a glance, falling into a moment of silence.
Ding Hongjun's expression darkened. This guy named Ye Fan, the so-called White Face, surely wasn't trying to steal Qi Yunqian away, was he?
His right hand unconsciously clenched into a fist, veins bulging.
Anyone who dared to lay a hand on Taiyi's sister deserved to die.
"I'll walk you home," Ye Fan finally said to Qi Yunqian after a long pause.
At this point, the gathering was winding down, and everyone was getting ready to leave.
Ding Hongjun's face fell as he instantly placed Ye Fan on his blacklist.
Walk you home? Qianqian has her own car!
Facing the imminent outburst of Ding Hongjun, Qi Yunqian acted as if she hadn't seen anything. She turned to Ding Hongjun and said, "Brother, you should go back first! I’ll leave with Ye Fan."
Ye Fan also told Li Hong, "You should go ahead. I'll take Yunqian home."
Li Hong was left speechless.
Ding Hongjun could only stare blankly as Ye Fan led Qi Yunqian step by step out of the private room, until they disappeared at the elevator entrance.
"Damn that White Face!" Ding Hongjun muttered in frustration.
"Damn that vixen!" Li Hong echoed, equally annoyed.
