"To be honest, Shen Cheng, alcohol really isn’t a good thing," Lin Xiaomiao said. "If you keep drinking , it’s really bad for your health."
Knowing full well that the other person was a smiling tiger, Shen Cheng still politely responded, "I know."
Xia An’an shot Shen Cheng a look in secret and then smiled and asked everyone around, "Are you all working now? Or doing something else?"
"What else can we do, those who should be studying are studying, those who should be working are working."
"Yeah, just passing each day so dull and tasteless..."
"Can’t compare to you, Xia An’an, your days seem much more comfortable."
"And our Xiao Miao, who was the school beauty back in school. Even though she didn’t study well, didn’t she still find a rich and powerful second-generation heir?"
"So, some things are really unpredictable."
As everyone was talking, they shifted their attention to Shen Cheng.
"What about you, Shen Cheng?"
This question seemed casual, yet Xia An’an felt a special sense of satisfaction; having Shen Cheng attend this gathering was all for this moment.
She gave a faint smile, not speaking.
Everyone’s attention was focused on Shen Cheng, waiting for her answer.
"Forget it, don’t ask anymore!" Xia An’an said, pretending, "Some things are private, it’s hard to say out loud..."
Lin Xiaomiao was puzzled, "What privacy?"
Unwilling to see others being secretive, a few female classmates said, "We’re all not outsiders, what can’t be said? Besides, don’t we all just want to know if everyone’s doing well? Even if someone’s doing poorly, no one will laugh!"
Xia An’an smiled meaningfully, and her phone on the dining table happened to ring, so she had to say, "You guys chat first."
Then, she picked up the phone and went outside to take the call.
With Xia An’an gone, everyone seemed to forget the earlier topic and started talking about other things with Shen Cheng.
Less than a minute later, Xia An’an finished the call, but her expression changed.
She came back to greet everyone, saying something happened at home, grabbed her bag, and was about to leave.
Seeing her in such a hurry, Lin Xiaomiao and a few other old classmates didn’t insist on keeping her and let her go.
With Xia An’an gone, the atmosphere seemed to ease up a bit.
Until the gathering ended, no one knew what Shen Cheng’s profession was.
Before leaving, Lin Xiaomiao stopped Shen Cheng, "Where do you live, I’ll drive you home."
Shen Cheng said, "No need."
Lin Xiaomiao seemed displeased, "Shen Cheng, don’t you consider me a friend anymore?"
Shen Cheng remained silent, without a hint of emotion.
The atmosphere was very awkward.
Especially for someone like Lin Xiaomiao, who was wealthy; someone not appreciating her offer was like directly slapping her in the face.
Seeing her change in expression, another woman still didn’t compromise.
The sudden voice was gentle like a warm spring breeze.
Shen Cheng turned around upon hearing it...
A face appeared in front of her, both familiar and strange.
It was that most imperfect encounter from when she was sixteen.
At that time, she was at her lowest, while he was a distinguished young master.
Good family, good in studies, good looks, good personality, just showing up would mesmerize many starry-eyed girls.
With just a word, he could make his admirers secretly smile for days.
Of course, Shen Cheng was no exception back then.
But the naivety of that time was later worn away completely.
He, was called Mu Bai.
