293: Chapter 293 Let's Start the Class, Dad - 1

The party continued amidst a wave of noise.

Just as Jiang Ye expected, aside from Lu Mingxuan's little "display" at the beginning, there were no stereotypical "face-slapping" moments.

Everyone was just a newbie who had been in society for half a year. Even if a few had decent family backgrounds or felt good about themselves, they were far from being able to squander money or act pretentious at will.

Cheng Weiwei sat at another table from beginning to end. She didn't take the initiative to come over and talk just because of Jiang Ye's "transformation."

Life isn't a novel, after all. A Girl like Cheng Weiwei, with her outstanding looks and normal life trajectory, never lacked pursuers.

Not to mention she didn't know about Jiang Ye's current situation; even if she knew he had two million in cash, she would never easily throw herself at him—especially when his current girlfriend was present.

Well... five million might be a possibility.

And this made Ye Cheng, who originally had some small expectations, feel quite bored, leaving her with no choice but to turn her disappointment into an appetite.

Adhering to the simple principle of "it's a hundred per person, the money's already spent," Jiang Ye and Ye Cheng completely treated the latter half of the class reunion as an all-you-can-eat buffet.

Whenever a dish hit rock bottom, Jiang Ye would raise his hand and signal the waiter to "add another serving." His movements were so natural and smooth that Fang Wei's eyelids twitched. He secretly whispered to the Buddy next to him:

“Next time we bring this grandson Jiang Ye to a class reunion, we have to charge him double! He can eat way too much!”

Full of food and drink, Jiang Ye slumped satisfied in his chair and let out a loud burp.

Ye Cheng also leaned against the back of her chair without any concern for her image, gently rubbing her lower abdomen and squinting her eyes comfortably.

“I say, Cheng Cheng, this is a bit unscientific...”

Jiang Ye glanced at her, a bit puzzled: “Look at Little Su and Coach Lin, they manage their bodies every day. What's with you? You never refuse milk tea or cola, and you gorge yourself on meat and fish, yet how is your stomach still flat?”

“What do you know?”

Ye Cheng raised her chin proudly: “I have a natural 'Eats-But-Never-Gains-Weight Physique,' so I don't need to manage it at all~”

“No matter what 'physique' you have, you still have to follow the conservation of energy, right? Where did it all go?”

“My metabolism is fast. One trip to the bathroom solves everything.”

“...”

Jiang Ye fell silent for two seconds and slowly gave a thumbs up: “Fine, impressive! Later I'll write a novel called 'I Am Not the God of Shitting,' and the female lead will be you!”

“Get lost!” Ye Cheng laughed and punched him.

While the two were joking, Lu Mingxuan at the other table saw that everyone had mostly finished eating. He stood up and clapped his hands to get everyone's attention:

“Classmates! Quiet down! We're having such a great time today, it would be a shame to just end it like this. I propose we add another program for tonight! I've already booked a private room at 'Starlight World' next door. My treat! Everyone must show up!”

“Hooray!”

“The Monitor is so generous!”

“Let's go, let's go! Sing all night!”

Free activities are always popular, especially for a group of young people who just started working and don't have much spare cash.

When the Girls heard they could sing for free, they all responded with smiles.

The male comrades, whose faces were flushed from drinking, saw the Girls nodding and joined in with howls of approval. Especially a few animals who already had ulterior motives, wondering if they'd have a chance to "escort" a female classmate back to a hotel tonight, they shouted particularly vigorously.

Under the prevailing trend, almost everyone cast a vote in favor.

However, Jiang Ye was clearly not the type of person to be held hostage by collective will.

He took Ye Cheng and stood up, following the flow of people downstairs. At the entrance of the restaurant, he called out to Fang Wei, who was flushed but still relatively sober.

“Xiao Wei, we won't be going to the KTV. You guys have fun, I'm heading straight back.”

Before Fang Wei could speak, Lu Mingxuan and Cheng Weiwei, who were at the very back and had just finished paying the bill, happened to hear this.

Lu Mingxuan walked over with a smile and waved his hand cheerfully:

“Jiang Ye, come play with us! It's rare for everyone to gather like this, don't be a buzzkill. Is it because you're afraid your girlfriend won't agree?”

Jiang Ye couldn't be bothered to deal with him and casually made up an excuse: “Forget it, my partner has to go back to her hometown early tomorrow morning. I have to see her off, so I can't stay out too late.”

Cheng Weiwei also walked out from the door. Hearing this, she subconsciously looked at Ye Cheng standing next to him, carefully observing this Girl whose appearance and temperament seemed even better than her own.

Ye Cheng keenly caught her gaze and immediately returned a bright smile: “Thank you.”

Cheng Weiwei was stunned and didn't react: “Thank you for what?”

“Thank you for leaving the good stuff behind, letting me get the bargain.”

“Huh? What stuff?”

Seeing she didn't understand, Ye Cheng was about to "enlighten" her further, but Jiang Ye next to her instantly understood her meaning—this woman was thanking Cheng Weiwei for not agreeing to his "hotel invitation" back then, leaving his "virginity" for her!

“Holy crap!”

Jiang Ye cursed inwardly and quickly reached out to cover Ye Cheng's mouth: “Shut up! If you say any more, she'll actually understand!”

With her mouth covered, Ye Cheng didn't struggle. She just looked at Jiang Ye with curved eyes, then glanced at the bewildered Cheng Weiwei and nodded with a smile.

Looking at the intimate interaction between the two as if no one else was there, Cheng Weiwei didn't understand Ye Cheng's subtext, but she knew it definitely wasn't anything good.

She smiled and turned her gaze to Jiang Ye, her tone peaceful: “Jiang Ye, long time no see.”

With one hand still covering Ye Cheng's mouth, Jiang Ye could only return a slightly awkward smile: “Yeah, long time no see.”

The air grew quiet for a moment, filled with a faint sense of awkwardness.

Fang Wei nearby let out a loud alcoholic burp. He looked at Cheng Weiwei, then at Jiang Ye, and scratched his head, trying to liven up the atmosphere:

“Jiang Ye, how about... you try sending another WeChat message? Why do I feel like... there's a chance with this atmosphere now?”

Swish, swish, swish, swish!

Four gazes instantly focused on him.

Lu Mingxuan was already a bit unhappy because Jiang Ye didn't give him face. Hearing Fang Wei bring that up again, and especially seeing that Cheng Weiwei only gave him a reproaching glare without directly refuting it, his expression immediately darkened.

What happened with Jiang Ye back then wasn't a secret in class. Usually, everyone told it as a joke, and he never took it seriously.

But...

Now this former joke, just because he changed his outfit and brought a beautiful girlfriend, actually seemed to have caught Cheng Weiwei's attention?

The more Lu Mingxuan thought about it, the angrier he got. He couldn't help but look Jiang Ye over carefully, inwardly spitting in contempt.

Damn it, a grown man with such good skin must be wearing makeup. What a sissy!

Looking at the outfit again, the clothes and pants didn't have a visible brand, but there was a clear double G logo on the upper of the shoes on his feet.

This is...

Gucci?

Don't make me laugh. If you're going to buy high-end fakes, at least buy something low-key. Even Adidas or Nike would be fine, but getting Gucci—is he desperate for people to notice?
