At this moment, a faint scent of gunpowder subtly permeated the atmosphere in the private room.

Someone stood up to mediate.

"It's hard for all of us to meet up. Come, let's have a drink together!"

"Right, right! Let's have a drink!"

So, everyone stood up, raised their glasses, and drank heartily.

After one drink, the atmosphere in the private room eased slightly.

The classmates began chatting with each other, occasionally bursting into laughter.

It must be said that Hu Jinsong indeed possessed good social skills.

Soon, he became the center of attention in the private room.

Hu Jinsong glanced at Lin Fan, who was sitting in the corner and had remained silent the entire time.

His eyes darted around, and he said, "Lin Fan, why haven't you said anything?"

Hu Jinsong's tone was incredibly relaxed and casual.

His demeanor... it was as if he had forgotten that Lin Fan had publicly exposed his scandalous affair with Aunt Wang.

He paused, then added, "Oh, right, Lin Fan, you went straight to work after finishing high school. You must have made a lot of money, right? What kind of car did you buy?"

"Lin Fan only makes a few thousand yuan a month. What kind of car could he buy? He probably can barely support himself," Wang Haoqi sneered.

In high school, Lin Fan was tall and handsome, and his grades were exceptionally good. He could be said to be a popular figure in the class.

As a result, many girls in the class were infatuated with him.

Wang Haoqi was extremely jealous of this.

Now, seeing Lin Fan so down and out, after a round of mockery, he felt the pleasure of a beggar stepping on a noble.

"What? Only a few thousand yuan a month?!" Hu Jinsong feigned surprise.

Lin Fan didn't pay attention to any of this.

Childish!

In his opinion, all of this was too childish! However, his ignoring it didn't mean others would stop there.

Hu Jinsong said in surprise, "Huh! Lin Fan, you're wearing a watch too? It looks pretty good! Let us take a look!"

Lin Fan said indifferently, "It's just a watch, there's nothing to see."

"Don't say that. We're all classmates, just taking a look and finding something to talk about!"

"Don't worry, we won't break it. Even if we do, I guarantee I'll compensate you with a new one," Hu Jinsong said.

"Yeah, just taking a look," Wang Haoqi said.

Shen Liang seemed a little curious and also urged, "Lin Fan, why don't you let everyone see?"

Lin Fan had a good impression of Shen Liang. Seeing him say this as well, he placed the Vacheron Constantin Tour de l'Ile on the table.

Hu Jinsong tossed it back and forth in his hands a few times and said, "It has some weight to it."

Wang Haoqi said, "What brand is this? It does look pretty good!"

"My friend Qiao Bo is a watch expert. I'll send him a picture and he'll know," Hu Jinsong didn't ask Lin Fan at all and directly took a picture and sent it to his friend.

He wanted to use this to show off his powerful connections and thus better mock Lin Fan.

Unfortunately, Qiao Bo didn't reply immediately.

Hu Jinsong said, "Let's wait a moment, he might be busy."

The first time Shen Liang saw the Vacheron Constantin Tour de l'Ile, he was incredibly amazed and couldn't help but ask, "Lin Fan, how much did this watch cost?"

"It didn't cost any money," Lin Fan said.

He wasn't lying when he said that.

Because this watch was obtained from a red envelope.

"Didn't cost any money? Lin Fan, could this watch be a free gift you got when you bought something?" Wang Haoqi sneered.

Hu Jinsong said, "So it's a free gift? Lin Fan, you should have said so earlier! I shouldn't have taken a picture and sent it to my friend just now. Free gifts are usually some high-quality fakes."

"My friend hates fakes the most. When he sees the picture later, he'll probably be quite angry."

After Hu Jinsong finished speaking, he directly threw the watch onto the table.

His demeanor was as if holding the watch for a moment longer would dirty his hands.

Then, Hu Jinsong said in a lecturing tone, "Lin Fan, it's not that I'm criticizing you, but we're all old classmates. It's really meaningless to wear a fake watch to show off."

"Ask the classmates, who would wear a fake to show off?"

In fact, some of the classmates present had privately bought fakes.

However, they would absolutely not admit it.

This was about face!

If they admitted it, wouldn't that mean they weren't doing well? That they could only afford fakes? So, the classmates all shook their heads.

"The quality of fakes is too much worse than the real thing."

"I never use fakes."

"If you don't have enough money, just buy something a little cheaper. Why buy fakes?"

Yang Wenjing even raised the Gucci bag in her hand and said, "Anyone who uses fakes is a poor loser! Like my husband, he never buys me fakes."

After speaking, Yang Wenjing hugged Du Lei's arm and rubbed against him.

Du Lei felt the softness on his arm, and the anger in his heart gradually dissipated quite a bit.

Lin Fan listened to everyone's words, which sounded like countless flies buzzing, and finally got a little angry. He shouted, "As long as I like it, what does it matter to you?"

With that, he snatched the Vacheron Constantin Tour de l'Ile back and put it back on his wrist.

Immediately, the faces of the classmates in the private room all became a little unpleasant.

Lin Fan's words had basically cursed all of them! Shen Liang felt that if he hadn't made Lin Fan take off his watch, such a thing wouldn't have happened.

So, trying to smooth things over, he said, "Everyone's almost finished eating. Shall we go to KTV to sing?"

"Okay, let's go to KTV!"

"Let's go!"

The classmates all agreed.

Lin Fan said, "I won't be going."

A large part of the reason Lin Fan attended this class reunion was to see a few good friends from high school.

Unfortunately, they didn't come.

For Lin Fan to finish this meal was already giving his classmates face.

Naturally, he wouldn't go singing with them.

Qin Yuxuan said, "I have something to do later, so I won't go to KTV either. I hope you all have fun."

Many people were happy to see Lin Fan not going.

But, seeing that the beautiful Qin Yuxuan wasn't going either, made them very reluctant.

So, many people tried to persuade her.

In response... Qin Yuxuan only said she had something to do at home and refused everyone.

"Do you need me to give you a ride?" Lin Fan asked casually.

"That would be troublesome then," Qin Yuxuan said with a smile.

Lin Fan was stunned for a moment.

In fact, he had just asked casually, but he didn't expect Qin Yuxuan to actually agree.

But, since the words were already out, he couldn't go back on them, right?

Then, the two walked towards the parking lot together.

This scene was seen by all the classmates.

"Are those two... could something be going on?"

"How could Qin Yuxuan possibly like him?"

"They're walking towards the parking lot. Doesn't Lin Fan not have a car?"

"A taxi just entered the parking lot. He's probably planning to take that taxi, right?" Wang Haoqi said.

As soon as he said this, the faces of the classmates were filled with disdain.

In their opinion, to take a beautiful woman like Qin Yuxuan home, one should use a luxury car!

A taxi? That was simply embarrassing.

Yang Wenjing scoffed, "When my husband took me home back then, the minimum was a Mercedes or BMW. A taxi? Lin Fan really has the nerve!"

Hu Jinsong looked at the receding figures of Lin Fan and Qin Yuxuan and said, "My BMW 5 Series is also in that direction."

Wang Haoqi said, "Hu Jinsong, I think you should take Qin Yuxuan home."

Although Wang Haoqi was also captivated by Qin Yuxuan's beauty.

However, he only had a hundred-thousand-dollar Corolla, so it was difficult for him to offer to take Qin Yuxuan.

Wang Haoqi disliked Lin Fan.

He would rather let Hu Jinsong take Qin Yuxuan than let Lin Fan find even a sliver of an opportunity.

"That's right, we can't let the beautiful Miss Qin take a taxi home. Otherwise, her family might think we classmates have neglected her."

"Exactly!"

Everyone echoed in agreement.

Hu Jinsong's heart leaped with joy. He had lusted after Qin Yuxuan for a long time.

If he could use the excuse of taking her home to get closer, or even... have something happen...

Thinking of this, Hu Jinsong's heart burned with desire.

He swallowed, and said, "But, the KTV..."

"Don't worry, we'll get a private room ready and wait for you!" Wang Haoqi said.

"This... alright." Hu Jinsong pretended to be reluctant.
