150: The focus of the entire event

She even had the subsequent steps planned out—once they met, she had plenty of ways to flirt with him.

A subtle, almost imperceptible touch, a few suggestive whispers, coupled with perfectly timed glances... with her looks and experience, winning over a guy like Chen Li would definitely be no problem at all.

Meanwhile, Chen Shimei on the other end was staring intently at his phone screen, burning with rage.

Looking at Zhong Lili's flirtatious pose in the photo, he felt as if his private property was being gawked at by everyone, and he felt extremely uncomfortable.

Recalling the passion he shared with Zhong Lili, those countless nights.

He realized more and more that he was truly obsessed with this woman—not just a physical dependence, but a strong possessiveness at play.

"Bitch..." he cursed through gritted teeth, his fingers unconsciously tightening, knuckles turning white.

Before the class reunion even began, undercurrents were already surging in everyone's hearts.

Zhong Lili's photo was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, stirring up ripples.

At this time, Liu Zhao and Zhong Hao had also arrived at Chen Li's home.

Everyone gathered in the spacious living room, drinking tea and chatting, laughing and talking, the atmosphere very harmonious.

Zhong Hao and Liu Zhao, who knew about Chen Li and Zhong Lili's past, although they saw the commotion in the group chat,

they thought about teasing him a bit, but seeing Liu Nansheng also present, the two exchanged knowing glances and neither brought it up.

For Chen Li, that youthful experience of chasing after Zhong Lili now seemed like nothing glorious in retrospect.

They certainly wouldn't know that, for the current Chen Li, that past was already like fleeting clouds.

Even if someone brought it up directly, it would be like dropping a pebble into a deep pool, unable to stir the slightest ripple in his heart.

Looking at the gentle and fairy-like Liu Nansheng before them, Zhong Hao and Liu Zhao shook their heads in unison internally—

With such a girlfriend now, how could Chen Li still care about a woman like Zhong Lili?

Liu Nansheng, whether in appearance, Figure, or character, was immeasurably superior to Zhong Lili.

Comparing the two of them was simply disrespectful to Liu Nansheng; they were not on the same level at all.

"It's almost time, we should head out," Zhong Hao said, looking at his watch and standing up.

"Let's go," Chen Li also stood up.

He Min and a few girls were still chatting on the sofa: "You guys go first, it's still early for dinner."

"Then you guys go and book a table for dinner later," Zhong Hao instructed.

"We need to arrive at the reunion location early. After all, it's a group activity, we should respect the organizers and not be late like some big shots."

After speaking, the three of them—Zhong Hao, Chen Li, and Liu Zhao—left first.

In just over ten minutes, the three arrived at the agreed meeting point—the entrance of their alma mater.

As Zhong Hao, Chen Li, and Liu Zhao reached the school gate, the sharp-eyed class monitor Li Wei smiled and came to greet them, patting each of their shoulders:

"Zhong Hao, Chen Li, Liu Zhao, you Three Musketeers are still the same, inseparable."

This was the third time Li Wei had organized a class reunion.

He had always looked out for Chen Li and the others, and they all remembered his kindness.

What they were most grateful for was in their second year of high school, when Chen Shimei brought some people from outside the school to block them at the school gate.

It was Li Wei who stepped forward to resolve the situation—his father was the police station chief, and his words carried a lot of weight in that area.

Since then, whenever Li Wei organized an event, the three of them would attend on time.

"Zhong Hao, your belly is getting bigger," a bespectacled boy joked with a smile.

"Liu Zhao, are you used to studying in the North? Is it particularly cold there in winter?"

"Chen Li, what have you been busy with lately?"

...Old classmates gathered around to greet them.

The three of them had good popularity in class back then, with above-average grades and upright character, so many classmates were happy to associate with them.

Before long, the three naturally blended into the lively crowd, chatting about their fresh experiences in college.

Some talked about eccentric roommates, some complained about the lack of beautiful girls in their schools, and laughter filled the air.

Chen Li and Li Wei stood aside, chatting happily. Li Wei carefully observed Chen Li and couldn't help but exclaim:

"Chen Li, I feel like you've changed a lot this past year, but I can't quite put my finger on what it is."

Chen Li smiled: "People always grow, Class Monitor."

As time drew near, more and more people arrived.

Some classmates had already gone to the restaurant to order, while the rest gathered at the school gate.

Li Wei counted the number of people and found that a few were still missing, including Chen Shimei and Zhong Lili.

Perhaps they had informed Li Wei that they would go directly to the restaurant later.

"Alright, classmates, a few people had last-minute matters and will go directly to the restaurant."

Li Wei clapped his hands and raised his voice, "Let's head out!"

So, a group of over thirty people marched grandly towards their nearby destination—Jufu Building Restaurant.

The lingering glow of the setting sun cast over everyone, outlining their youthful Figures.

Everyone followed Li Wei to the restaurant's private room and stopped in front of several large round tables.

Li Wei smiled and greeted them: "Everyone, please sit wherever you like. We're all old classmates, no need to be formal."

The classmates then found seats in twos and threes, boys and girls naturally mixing together, and the private room immediately filled with the clamor of many people.

Not long after, a commotion arose at the door.

Chen Shimei arrived, followed by several male classmates and two fashionably dressed female classmates.

He was dressed particularly strikingly today—a black tight-fitting T-shirt, white casual shorts revealing a pair of white sneakers, and a silver earring on his left ear that gleamed dazzlingly.

This outfit made him look exactly like a playboy.

The classmates' expressions varied—some showed envy, some had jealousy in their eyes, and others turned their faces away in disdain.

Chen Shimei, however, seemed to enjoy being the center of attention, calmly surveying the room, a faint, smug smile playing on his lips.

However, when he saw Chen Li and the others chatting and laughing, completely unaware of his arrival, the smugness on his face instantly froze.

This feeling of being ignored made him very unhappy. He merely snorted coldly, and then he and his companions sat down at an empty table by the window, at Li Wei's call.

Just then, a wave of whispers arose at the door again.

Zhong Lili and two female classmates walked in gracefully, instantly becoming the focus of the entire room.
