To put it nicely, it was a classmates' reunion but to put it bluntly, it was just a function to build social connections.
Yan Jinyi had gotten eyeopener of how pompous and full of tricks people of the modern era are. Thus, she suddenly felt that people from era were much better. Even Old Wang from the mountain next to hers who often vied with her for business seemed to be much nicer now.
"Didn't you try to find out more about my temper before you invited me?" Yan Jinyi said with a beautiful smile. "I even had the guts to beat up the Best Actress titleholder and a film director in front of the media and cameras. Do you think I won't dare to beat up my former classmates?"
"Oh, by the way, you guys probably don't know about this yet but I picked up martial arts after I graduated and I'm quite good at it. I've even helped the police arrest criminals."
Most of the news about celebrities were untrue so they didn't really take it seriously.
"Jinyi, Sangsang doesn't hold it against us. We were all young and full of vigor at that time. Besides, we were just kids, what do we know?" Ye Minran said perfunctorily. "The dishes are here, let's all sit down and enjoy the food. Jinyi has ordered the signature dishes of this hotel and they taste pretty good."
Noticing that the atmosphere had become awkward, Chen Haisheng quickly tried to relieve the tension. "Yes, yes, it's all in the past, let's eat before singing our hearts out. Jinyi is a superstar now, she must be great at singing."
"I'm sorry but I can't sing," Yan Jinyi retorted nonchalantly.
"…"
Indeed, people tend to put on airs when they get famous.
Ye Minran was still about to continue lashing out at them but Tan Sangsang tugged her sleeve and said, "It's alright, since Ye Minran wants to move back to this city, she'll definitely continue creating trouble for us in the future. We'll have plenty of chances to get back at her."
Yan Jinyi glanced at Tan Sangsang and sighed.
'Why are women so kind these days? They're getting bullied so badly and they can still tolerate it.'
Since Ye Minran's husband was treating them to a meal today, Ye Minran naturally took the master seat.
Her condescending attitude was really repulsive.
"Jinyi, let's leave after dinner, it's quite uncomfortable being here."
Yan Jinyi did not answer, and continued eating her food. She even deliberately chose to eat the most expensive dishes.
It just so happens that Ye Minran's cell phone rang at this moment. After the call, she glanced at Tan Sangsang openly with a contemptuous gaze.
Tan Sangsang somehow had an ominous premonition.
"Wow, it turns out that you already have a kid, Sangsang. If my cousin's son wasn't in the same school as your son, I wouldn't have known about it!"
Many people started bombarding her with questions.
"Sangsang, are you married?"
"Sangsang, why didn't you tell us that you're married? What does your husband work as?"
"Since you're a reporter, is your husband a reporter too?"
The crowd was still asking questions but Ye Minran suddenly said sarcastically, "I heard that she got pregnant out of wedlock. At that time, I heard my mom mentioning that she saw Sangsang returning home with a toddler, who was actually her son. I didn't believe her at first but it turns out that it's true."
Tan Sangsang's face immediately grew sullen.
Ye Minran's mother lived very near Tan Sangsang's maternal grandmother and they both knew each other too. However, Ye Minran's mother was a gossipmonger and a blabbermouth so the people in their residential estate disliked her very much.
The woman named Xiao Xue pretended to be surprised and said, "Is that so? Tan Sangsang actually had a child out of wedlock? Wouldn't it be very difficult for her to get married in the future then? Why do women these days not respect and love themselves?"
Tan Sangsang finally lost her temper and smacked her hand against the table. "So what if I had a child out of wedlock? I'm the one with the kid, not you guys.. I can do whatever I want, it's none of your business at all."
