"We even need an appointment? So, you're not giving us any face at all?" Jiang Lekang started to mock. "I said on WeChat back then that Shen Qiong doesn't care about classmate camaraderie, and someone even came out to defend him." He looked at Zhu Zhengzhi and sneered.

Zhu Zhengzhi couldn't back down, so he rubbed Shen Qiong's arm and whispered, "What's going on? We're all so familiar, and we still need an appointment?"

Shen Qiong knew this meal wouldn't go smoothly, so he secretly took out his phone to send a WeChat message to Ren Tianxue for advice.

"Rules are rules! Too many people come to me for appointments. If everyone wants to take shortcuts, the rules will be broken, and no one will be satisfied," Shen Qiong said, bracing himself.

Dong Yanshan looked at him and shook her head in disappointment, with an expression that clearly showed she had misjudged him.

Jiang Lekang naturally noticed this and immediately sneered, "No wonder such a good girl like Shanshan broke up with you back then."

Everyone present knew about their past relationship. Shen Qiong felt like he was sitting on pins and needles, his scalp tingling. This wedding banquet was truly disgusting!

Just then, Lu Caishuang came over to toast them, which finally gave Shen Qiong some relief!

"Come! Everyone, have a great time today."

Everyone raised their glasses, offering congratulations on their lifelong happiness and wishing them an early child.

Several elaborate dishes were brought out, and everyone started to pick up their chopsticks and eat.

Shen Qiong had no appetite. His only wish now was for Ren Tianxue to come quickly and save him, otherwise, after the meal, he would still have to endure "torture."

While eating, Zhu Zhengzhi quietly asked Shen Qiong, "I feel like something's off with you. We shouldn't need an appointment, should we? Is there some hidden reason?"

Shen Qiong gave a wry smile and whispered, "The reason I can be so accurate is because I follow many rules. If I break them, it's like smashing my own rice bowl."

Zhu Zhengzhi wasn't very familiar with fortune telling, but he thought that these Masters indeed had many rules. He figured Shen Qiong wouldn't lie to him, and all he could do now was pray that his classmates would let him off the hook after the meal.

After about ten more minutes of eating, Jiang Lekang deliberately raised his voice, "Ah, this meal, I feel like something's missing."

Shen Qiong knew this guy was up to no good again!

"Oh, Shanshan, I heard you're still single. How about I introduce you to a friend of mine? He's also single and not bad at all! I won't even mention his character, but he's definitely better than someone!" Jiang Lekang said with a smile.

Someone? That definitely meant him. Shen Qiong stayed silent, pretending not to understand, and continued drinking his soup.

Dong Yanshan's heart was filled with complex emotions. "No, thank you!"

She still couldn't figure out what had happened to Shen Qiong. If it were the old Shen Qiong, he might not have proactively offered fortune telling to classmates, but he certainly wouldn't have been this cold.

"Haha! It's fine, if you need anything, just ask. It's the same for other classmates too. I, Lekang, may not have many other skills, but I have plenty of friends," Jiang Lekang said with a chuckle.

"Young Master Kang, don't be so modest! It seems you're the most successful among us," a classmate flattered him.

"Yeah! Driving a car worth over two hundred thousand yuan just two years after graduation, your future is limitless!"

Jiang Lekang thoroughly enjoyed being flattered. He even deliberately glanced at Shen Qiong, as if to say, See! This is the gap between us.

Just then, a classmate pointed at a white car outside the hotel and asked, "That car looks nice!"

"Nonsense, see the logo? It's a BMW! The cheapest one probably costs at least four hundred thousand yuan!" a knowledgeable classmate said with a smile.

"Holy crap! And it's a female driver?"

Everyone immediately looked over...

From afar, they could see her clear, watery eyes, her long hair cascading down her shoulders, and her delicate, fair skin that made people unable to look away. Her slender, long legs were enough to ignite the desires of all men, yet her angelic face gave her a noble aura that made her seem unapproachable.

"What a beautiful girl..."

"Tsk tsk tsk, look at that aura, a blatant rich and beautiful woman!"

"A woman like this probably requires a true dragon among men to conquer," Jiang Lekang sighed.

A classmate who liked to joke immediately straightened his hair and said, "Don't stop me, I'm going to get her number."

"Forget it! If you can get her number, you'll be my brother from now on!" another classmate laughed.

While they were joking, Ren Tianxue walked into the hotel, looking around. She remembered Shen Qiong had told her on WeChat that he was on the first floor.

Seeing his savior arrive, Shen Qiong was overjoyed and stood up, waving.

"Holy crap! What's this new move? The 'pretend to be a friend' approach?" the classmates stared at Shen Qiong, bewildered.

"At least you got the beauty's attention, much more successful than you!" a classmate teased as Ren Tianxue actually walked over.

Ren Tianxue walked up and smiled, "You're here!"

Shen Qiong pretended to be surprised, "Why are you here!"

She stepped forward, linked her arm through Shen Qiong's, and asked with a smile, "Are these all your classmates?"

"Mhm!" Shen Qiong replied.

"Hello everyone! I'm Shen Qiong's girlfriend," Ren Tianxue said with a smile, greeting everyone.

There was a moment of stunned silence!!!

What?

The goddess is Shen Qiong's girlfriend?

Is it real or fake?

"Uh, hello!" A few classmates responded stiffly. They had thought Shen Qiong was just trying to hit on a beautiful woman, never expecting they were actually a couple.

Ren Tianxue pouted, looking at Shen Qiong a little annoyed. "Why didn't you invite me to see your classmates?"

Shen Qiong's heart nearly exploded! Damn, this girl really knows how to act!

"Didn't you say your best friend was sick and you were going to stay with her?" Shen Qiong replied gently.

She frowned and asked, "Did you take a taxi here yourself?"

"Yeah, it's not that far anyway."

"You're always like this, leaving the car for me every time, even though you know I hardly drive it!" Ren Tianxue complained with a hint of displeasure.

Shen Qiong swallowed. This girl has definitely practiced. How else could she act so convincingly?

Suddenly, everyone's hearts were in turmoil. They all thought Shen Qiong didn't have a car, and Jiang Lekang had even mocked him. Now, their faces were ashen!

Compared to Shen Qiong's car, theirs was in a completely different league. The problem was that Shen Qiong hadn't even mentioned he owned a car. Wasn't he deliberately embarrassing them?

Jiang Lekang's face was extremely awkward. He had just said that a girl like Ren Tianxue must be a rare gem to conquer, but it turned out the Shen Qiong he had been belittling was her boyfriend. How embarrassing!

Extremely embarrassing!

Zhu Zhengzhi looked at Shen Qiong with disdain, signaling that he had acted too well. He was clearly doing so well for himself, and his girlfriend was beautiful enough to make anyone jealous, yet he pretended to have nothing.

But now it was great. Everyone who had mocked Shen Qiong had been slapped in the face!

Ren Tianxue, with a charming smile, kept sending Shen Qiong glances, signaling, Did I act well? Praise me quickly, praise me quickly!!!

To others, this scene looked like they were showing off their affection.

"Ouch, ouch, I can't take it! This single dog has taken ten thousand points of damage." The funny classmate clutched his chest, looking heartbroken.

She had pondered for a long time before coming up with a reason to call Shen Qiong away from the dinner table. Blushing, she said, "My dad said he wants to see you, and he wants to see you today."

Shen Qiong was stunned. Her acting was too good, it had become reality! He could tell this girl was genuinely blushing with shyness.

Damn, they're meeting the parents already! It's over, it's over. I don't stand a chance.

Shen Qiong nodded. "Alright!" He turned to the classmates at the table and said, "Sorry, I can't stay to finish dinner with you all! Her Dad often travels for business, and he's finally back, so I need to go over."

Everyone nodded in understanding.

Zhu Zhengzhi gave Shen Qiong a sideways glance, raising an eyebrow, signaling that he had a trick up his sleeve!

Shen Qiong got into the car and left, still a bit dazed.

Ren Tianxue looked at him with a smile and teased, "Oh! Our Master Shen seems to be captivated by me!"

Shen Qiong coughed twice and immediately retorted, "No way!"

"Then tell me, did I act well?" she asked in a coquettish tone.

Shen Qiong couldn't handle being teased by this girl like this. Goosebumps instantly broke out all over him. He couldn't take it!

She let out a giggle, "This is so much fun!"
