Chapter 78: Classmates’ Gathering
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Su Wan grabbed her mobile phone from the table and saw an unfamiliar number on the screen. Suspicion rose in her uncontrollably.
Hadn’t Jiang Xuecheng applied for a leave for her? Why was there a call for her…
She had changed her mobile phone and number. Besides a few of her close family and friends, she had only filled in her new number at Long Teng International.
Feeling surprised, Su Wan accepted the call. She asked softly, “Hello, may I help you?”
“Hello, is this Su Wan?”
The female voice on the other end was hoarse and sounded excited.
Su Wan’s suspicion grew. “Yes, this is Su Wan, may I please know who is speaking?”
When the girl heard that it was Su Wan, she laughed loudly and said, “Wan, I’m Shen Lin! Do you still remember me?”
Upon hearing this, Su Wan brightened. Her lips curved upwards. Knowing the girl’s identity, she was both shocked and pleasantly surprised.
Shen Lin! She was the class monitor during high school!
Shen Lin was a boyish Northern girl who was forthright, carefree and easygoing. She was very loyal to friends too. After Su Wan’s parents’ accident, she cared for Su Wan and when Su Wan was admitted for depression, she visited her several times at the hospital.
“Class monitor, I can forget everyone but you. How did you know my new mobile number?”
“I counted the years and knew our class beauty is back from abroad. Alright, I won’t tease you anymore. I heard from Lin Fei’er.”
Upon hearing, Su Wan laughed. She pursed her lips and asked, “Class monitor, what’s up? Why did you call me today?”
“I miss you.”
Shen Lin chatted with Su Wan for a while before bringing up the main point. “Are you free at 6pm? We haven’t seen one another for a long time. I’m planning a classmates’ gathering.”
Su Wan fell into silence for a moment. Her eyes showed her struggles. “Will Su Yurou attend?”
She didn’t want to confront Su Yurou during the gathering. Once the annoying person appeared, it would affect her good mood.
One the other end of the phone, Shen Lin was taken aback. This was the first time she had heard Su Wan addressing Su Yurou by her full name. However, Su Wan’s voice was calm and she couldn’t hear any hatred or negative emotions through her voice.
It looked like Su Yurou and Gu Zihang’s engagement had hurt Su Wan deeply.
At the thought of that couple, Shen Lin tightened the hand holding her phone slightly. That year, she was optimistic about Gu Zihang and Su Wan as a couple. However, people change and the person who snatched Gu Zihang away was Su Wan’s own cousin sister.
Shen Lin couldn’t bear the sight of Su Yurou and Gu Zihang together.
Shen Lin sighed in her heart and pretended to be relaxed. “Doesn’t your cousin sister dislike noisy occasions? We had several gatherings in the past two years which she didn’t attend. So, this time, I don’t plan to inform her.”
Su Wan halted and she smiled slightly. Her voice was clear again. “That’s good. Class monitor, I’ll definitely be there!”
Then, Su Wan caught up with Shen Lin for a while through the phone and both sighed at the changes all these years. In the end, before Shen Lin ended the call, she enjoined.
“I’ll end the call now. Wan, remember to be punctual. See you at Golden Sand Entertainment City on Glazed Street later at 6pm.”
“Yes, definitely. See you later.”
Su Wan put her phone down. Then, she remembered she should inform Jiang Xuecheng if she were to go out. So, she called him.
Jiang Xuecheng’s voice sounded more magnetic through the phone. However, what he said made Su Wan have the urge to hit him.
“Wan Wan, you’re going out tonight? I thought of cuddling up with you in bed tonight and…”
So, this was this he wished to do. That activity, once performed, would leave one wanting for more.
Hence, although she knew he was sitting in the office of Di Chen Group and they were several kilometers apart, Su Wan’s face was still blushed red. Jiang Xuecheng was a wolf in sheep’s clothing and was truly a ruffian!
Yesterday, he had almost tortured her to death. If they were to do it again today, her petite body would not be able to withstand it.
Jiang Xuecheng didn’t know what he said that caused Su Wan to feel uncomfortable yet unable to utter a single word. He signed the contract in his hand and said, “Enjoy yourself tonight but remember not to drink alcohol. Remember to swipe my credit card to foot the bill.”
Su Wan’s alcohol tolerance was low and she might get into a drunken stupor. Jiang Xuecheng could not accept if she were to do what she did the last time she was drunk. If this were to happen again, he would dismember the people involved.
This was not the first time Jiang Xuecheng reminded her not to drink. Su Wan couldn’t help but laugh.
“Xuecheng, why do you wish for me to use your money?”
“Because you’re my woman.”
It was a brief answer but it sent Su Wan into a trance. She lowered her head and smiled. Then, she hid her palpitations. “I’ll remember. That’s it, I’m ending the call. Bye.”
After reporting to Jiang Xuecheng, Su Wan went into the bedroom to take a nap to make up for her lack of rest. Yesterday’s activity was too draining. She needed to rest well.
At about five in the afternoon, Su Wan picked a blouse and a pair of jeans and dressed up casually as she thought it was a classmates’ gathering, not a formal occasion. She took her handbag and went out of the house.
Su Wan hailed a taxi and sat at the back, “Hi, mister. To Golden Sand Entertainment City on Glazed Street, please.”
About twenty minutes later, Su Wan arrived at her destination.
Su Wan walked out of the taxi and watched the sunset. S City was bathing in a faint golden light. It was a desolate beauty.
Golden Sand Entertainment City was a high-end entertainment club in S City. It was situated in a prime location. There were many passersby and the surrounding was full of various luxurious cars.
It might perhaps be because of Su Wan’s beauty that she had become a scenery just by standing by the road, attracting the attention of many passersby.
Su Wan was used to the feeling of being in the limelight. She took a deep breath and walked calmly into Golden Sand Entertainment City.
When she entered the hall, Su Wan had wanted to ask a waitress where Room 1036 was but before she could even find the waitress, someone had tapped on her shoulder.
Su Wan was scared stiff. She turned around and saw a familiar figure behind her. It was her class monitor, Shen Lin!
Shen Lin whistled. “Hey, Wan, I haven’t seen you for three years. Our class beauty looks more and more beautiful now!”
Su Wan smiled and rolled her eyes. “It has been three years and you still look boyish.”
After graduating from high school, she spent three years in Dong Chen Country and was seldom in touch with Shen Lin. However, their relationship was better than other classmates’.
Shen Lin still had the same smile and tidy short hair. She looked clean and handsome. If one were to look from her back, one might take her for a handsome boy!
