The Social Butterfly

Over the next two days, Chen Xuan did not sit idle either. He took Lin Qing around all of Yuecheng's famous sights, then rented a storefront near his home and included it among the branches.

That way, if anything urgent happened, he could travel smoothly between the two places.

On the morning of the third day, Zhao Jin sent a text saying the gathering would be held at the White Swan Hotel. It was already Yuecheng's most upscale hotel, and hosting an event in a place like this clearly cost a considerable amount of money—ordinary people really could not afford it. This also confirmed what his parents had said: the Zhao family's boy was clearly doing quite well now.

As for Gu Zhaoning, she had contacted him a day earlier and said her flight would arrive that afternoon. After Chen Xuan explained the situation, she did not mind in the slightest and said she could just come to the hotel to find him then.

At around twelve thirty, Chen Xuan and Lin Qing arrived at the White Swan Hotel as planned.

They took the elevator to the private event area on the fifth floor. At a glance, he spotted several old high school classmates—although they had not seen one another in years, their faces had not changed much. Only their clothes and styling had become far more mature. At the same time, he noticed quite a few strangers he had never met before, both men and women... It did not take much guessing to know that he was not the only one who had brought a friend. That was not surprising. Most of them were twenty-six or twenty-seven now, and quite a few were already married.

"Chen Xuan, over here!" Zhao Jin spotted him as well and waved him over.
