145: We specially invite you to join our school

Royal Palace Hotel.

“Oh, isn’t that He Fatty? You said you weren’t coming to the Classmate reunion, so why did you secretly tag along? If you wanted to come, you should have just said so, it’s not like we wouldn’t let you, right, Classmates?”

“Hahaha, yeah, He Fatty, didn’t you say we were snobs who only cared about money and looked down on people, only letting good students and rich Classmates attend the reunion, and that you disdained us? So why did you sneak along?”

“Exactly, you said if Lin Yang didn’t come, you wouldn’t either. How come you’ve abandoned your good friend and come by yourself now? Have you realized you regret it, and understood that someone like him, who has no money and doesn’t study well, has no future? Are you planning to hang out with us again?”

“Hehe, it’s not impossible to hang out with us again. Just pay for today’s reunion, and we’ll reluctantly accept you back.”

Lin Yang followed He Fatty into the hotel, and before he had even fully entered the main door, he heard a few somewhat familiar voices mocking He Ming.

Then, he looked up and recognized the Class monitor, Xie Lin, and his several lackeys surrounding He Ming, constantly taunting him.

Other Classmates were also watching nearby.

“Damn it, Xie Lin, if you’re sick, go to the hospital. Me, sneaking along? You’re hilarious!”

He Fatty, with his hands on his hips, retorted directly: “Every single one of you listen up, I said I look down on you, and I look down on you!”

“Sneaking along? Regret?”

“Heh heh, you really know how to flatter yourselves and fantasize. When has He Fatty ever regretted anything?!”

“Also, I’m here today to eat with Lin Yang, not to attend your lousy reunion. All of you, get out of my way, a good dog doesn’t block the road!”

He Fatty’s retort instantly made Xie Lin and the others’ faces turn ugly:

“He Ming, watch your mouth. You’re just a nouveau riche with a bit of money at home, that’s all. It’s your honor that we called you. Otherwise, with your poor IQ and grades, you wouldn’t be fit to hang out with us. Hmph, your family’s business will be squandered by you sooner or later!”

“Damn it, Xie Lin, do you want to fight?” He Ming directly waved his chubby hand and moved towards He Ming.

“He Ming, this is the Royal Palace Hotel. Watch your manners. If you dare to use violence here, the security guards will kick you out later!” Xie Lin stood still, sneering at He Ming.

“Damn it, even if I get kicked out, I’m going to tear your mouth off today!” He Ming cursed loudly.

However, the next instant, his movement paused, as he was pulled back by someone.

It was Lin Yang.

“Lin Yang, don’t stop me. I’m going to tear his mouth off today!” He Ming turned his head to look at Lin Yang, struggling to break free from Lin Yang’s grip.

“Why bother arguing with them? Don’t ruin your good mood.” Lin Yang shook his head at He Ming.

It wasn’t that he was afraid of trouble, but rather, with such a large group of Classmates and He Ming being alone, if a fight truly broke out, He Fatty would only get beaten.

If there was going to be a fight, it should be him stepping in.

He Ming paused, his anger subsiding slightly: “You’re right, it’s really bad luck. Coming for a meal and running into these scumbags. How about we change places?”

“Whatever you want.” Lin Yang said indifferently.

He truly hadn't expected to run into Xie Lin and the others here.

And it was indeed as He Ming had said before, Xie Lin and his group only invited Classmates who were either good at studying, or from wealthy families, or those who were clinging to their coattails.

They hadn’t even entered society yet, and they were already this realistic, which was truly bizarre.

“Oh, isn’t this Lin, Classmate Lin Yang, who’s always at the bottom of the rankings? You really came back, huh? We thought you’d be attending some obscure university Overseas, haha.”

Seeing Lin Yang, Xie Lin and his companions burst into laughter again.

Lin Yang completely ignored these clowns and asked He Ming if he still wanted to eat here.

But his attitude seemed to provoke Xie Lin and the others: “One nouveau riche, one last place. Birds of a feather truly flock together. Lin Yang, I really don’t know what you’re pretending about. We’re all from top universities in the country. When we graduate, people like you, from the bottom of society, won’t even have the right to speak to us.”

Lin Yang then slightly furrowed his brow and looked over: “Pangzi is right, if you’re sick, go to the hospital and get your head checked. Don’t act like lunatics, biting everyone you see here.”

“Also, speak? Why would I want to speak to you? Who do you think you are?”

“Lin Yang, you’re looking for…”

Xie Lin immediately became furious and was about to lash out, but the hotel security guards had already noticed the situation and were walking towards them.

At the same time, a girl behind them suddenly spoke: “Xie Lin, don’t bother with them. We are people from two different worlds now. Arguing with them would be beneath us.”

Hearing this, Xie Lin immediately turned his head, forcing out a fawning smile and said: “Classmate Zhan Lu is right, we won’t bother with them. Let’s go, we’ll eat in the private room!”

“Right, right, right, Class beauty is right. Arguing with them will only lower our status. Let’s go eat our meal.”

Several of the lackey Classmates quickly agreed.

Then the group walked directly towards the elevator.

Seeing this, He Fatty said indignantly: “These snobs, especially that Zhan Lu, look at what she said, how arrogant! Damn it, Lin Yang, I really feel it’s not worth it for you. You used to like her, but I didn’t expect her to be a gold-digger too.”

“...That was in the past. Who hasn’t had a time of youthful ignorance?” Lin Yang was speechless.

What He Fatty referred to as 'in the past' seemed to be something his previous self had done.

Zhan Lu, as the Class beauty, was indeed pretty, and he had indeed been infatuated before.

Or rather, every young male Classmate experiencing the stirrings of love had had such thoughts.

However, that was all in the past.

Now, his heart was completely calm.

“It’s a shame my brain isn’t good enough, otherwise, if I got into a good university, I’d slap them hard in the face. Isn’t it just getting into a top university in the country? They act like they’re superior beings and from then on, not from the same world. That’s truly arrogant!”

He Fatty was still very upset.

“And their reunion should be in the evening, so why are they here now? If I had known we’d run into them, we would have changed places to eat.”

Lin Yang smiled indifferently, just about to comfort He Fatty, when he suddenly saw Xie Lin turn his head again and sneer: “Lin Yang, if I remember correctly, you got into a very ordinary vocational college, right? Study hard, lest you embarrass our Classmates in the future, haha!”

“Damn it, Xie Lin, you freaking…”

He Fatty was about to curse loudly, but then he suddenly saw several middle-aged men in suits approaching them quickly, then stopping in front of Lin Yang, each speaking with immense enthusiasm:

“You must be Lin, Classmate Lin Yang, right? I am Liu Songzhou, President of Huaqing University, and I’ve specially come to invite Classmate Lin to join our university!”

“Hello, Classmate Lin. I am Rong Guzhi, President of Kyoto University, and I’ve also specially come to invite Classmate Lin to join our university…”

“Classmate Lin, I am Dongfang Zhouyao, President of Wufang University, and I’ve specially come to invite you…”

“…”

Listening to the university presidents introduce themselves, the entire hotel lobby instantly became so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Xie Lin and the others, who were about to take the elevator to the private room upstairs, froze in place, turning their heads with difficulty, looking over in disbelief.

What did they hear?

The presidents of the top universities in the country personally came to invite Lin Yang to enroll?

They didn’t mishear, did they?
