Sun Liyan's attempt to sow discord failed. She snorted, "You speak so nobly, but Chairman Rong isn't coming to this class reunion either. It seems being a rich man's wife isn't easy! In that case, Lanlan is much better off. Her husband is rich, treats her so well, and she's so happy at home. Unlike some people, who have money but live like widows."
Her words made Bai Quan's face turn even paler.
Zhang Lanlan pursed her lips into a smile, displaying a look of happiness. "I am indeed very happy. But I've always thought Bai Quan was the real winner in life. She and Chairman Rong had a long-term romance for years, and they got married right after graduation. I never expected things to turn out this way..."
She deliberately left her sentence unfinished, looking at Bai Quan with pity.
Bai Quan clenched her fists, her expression grim. Wen Yan's eyes darkened. What kind of rotten class reunion was this? It was all about belittling others to elevate themselves! Bai Quan had treated Zhang Lanlan very well in high school, and Zhang Lanlan was actually helping Sun Liyan mock her!
Just as Wen Yan was about to say something, the class monitor arrived. "Everyone's here. I apologize for being late; there was some traffic. Have you ordered the food yet?"
With the class monitor's efforts to liven up the atmosphere, the topic shifted.
However, most of the conversation was dominated by the few classmates who had achieved great success.
Wen Yan and Bai Quan ate their meals quietly.
"Yan Yan, why are you only eating vegetables? Here, try the pork knuckle. It's fatty but not greasy," the class monitor said, serving Wen Yan a dish.
"Thank you."
"Don't be so polite with me. I heard you're working at Xinghua now, that's a big company. I also heard about your situation recently. If you have any difficulties in the future, just tell me." The class monitor was very enthusiastic.
Wen Yan acknowledged him.
"The class monitor is still so good to Wen Yan," Sun Liyan said with a meaningful smile. "It's just a pity that Yan Yan is already married."
"Really?" the class monitor asked, surprised.
Wen Yan did not deny it. "Yes, I'm married."
"And Wen Yan is the one who truly doesn't care about the other person's family background. She married a construction worker. How truly happy!" Sun Liyan chuckled lightly.
The class monitor's expression became more complex, but he didn't say much.
Just then, his expression turned somewhat somber.
The meal was quite uncomfortable.
Bai Quan was also disappointed. Later, most of the conversation was with Wen Yan. When they finally finished eating and were leaving, those who owned cars immediately showed them off. Zhang Wuwen, flashing his Porsche, asked, "Wen Yan, do you want a ride?"
"No, thank you. Bai Quan and I are leaving together."
"Bai Quan, Bai Quan, you've married into a wealthy family, haven't you? Why do you still need to take a taxi to go home? I'll give you a ride!" Zhang Wuwen's tone was undisguisedly sarcastic.
Bai Quan's expression was unpleasant, and Wen Yan couldn't hold back any longer.
"You..."
At that moment, a beam of white light shone, and a Rolls-Royce stopped in front of them.
The black car's body was sleek and perfect, exuding understated luxury.
This car was worth tens of millions.
Only true tycoons could afford to drive it.
"Get in."
The car window rolled down, revealing the man's handsome jawline.
It was Chairman Rong!
Everyone stared, dumbfounded.
The president of Rong Corporation was indeed different. A Rolls-Royce was his standard mode of transport.
Bai Quan was also surprised that Rong Beifeng had actually come.
"Mhm," Bai Quan turned to say goodbye to everyone. "I'm leaving first."
Then she looked at Wen Yan. "Yan Bao, I'll give you a ride."
"No, thank you. You go ahead. We're not going in the same direction, and I'll get there faster by taxi," Wen Yan said with a smile. She was also happy that Chairman Rong had come to pick up Bai Quan.
However, she noticed Sun Liyan's expression out of the corner of her eye was strange. Especially after Bai Quan got into the car and left, Sun Liyan let out a contemptuous snort.
The classmates looked at the departing Rolls-Royce and couldn't help but say, "It still has to be Chairman Rong. The Rong family is truly wealthy. This car must be over ten million yuan. I don't know if I'll ever earn that much in my lifetime."
"Haha, this is just one small car in Chairman Rong's garage. Bai Quan is truly a rich wife. It's good to have a wealthy family."
"No matter how wealthy her family is, isn't it bankrupt now?" Sun Liyan said disdainfully. "Bai Quan only got accepted by the Rong family because she knew Rong Beifeng early and shamelessly clung to him, getting pregnant and marrying him. Otherwise, the Bai family wouldn't be worthy of the Rong family."
No one responded to her words.
Although the Bai family was indeed in decline now, they were still far beyond what these people could compare to! Sun Liyan's words were laced with too much sourness.
"Bai Quan has left. I'll give you a ride," Zhang Wuwen approached Wen Yan.
Sun Liyan immediately looked at her. "Yes, Wen Yan. Wuwen's family business is getting better and better. If you two get together, you'll have wealth and honor in the future, though not as much as your good sister."
Wen Yan really didn't understand why Sun Liyan spoke so nastily. She said coldly, "No need, thank you."
"Wen Yan, I'll give you a ride," the class monitor said at this moment, holding his BMW keys.
Wen Yan pursed her lips. She had a very good relationship with the class monitor. They often worked part-time together in high school. As Wen Yan hesitated, another Rolls-Royce drove over. Its luxurious body was somewhat similar to the previous one but different, so understated that its model was indistinguishable. It was mysteriously luxurious in the night.
The classmates were all stunned.
Who was this one coming to pick up?
Could there be a hidden tycoon among them?
Just then, Wen Yan's phone suddenly rang.
Night Lord.
She answered, and a deep, mellow voice came from the other end. "Come up."
Wen Yan's heart skipped a beat. This car actually belonged to Night Lord.
"No, thank you..." This was too ostentatious.
"What, are you unhappy that I'm picking you up?" the male voice asked, deep but with an undeniable tone of authority.
Wen Yan immediately backed down. If Night Lord were to get out of the car, it would likely cause a sensation. Helplessly, Wen Yan could only walk over, open the car door, and get in.
This action stunned everyone. They watched the car drive away, and someone immediately asked Sun Liyan, "Sun Liyan, are you sure Wen Yan's husband is a construction worker and not a big boss?"
"Impossible. I checked... I heard it from others. It's absolutely impossible for it to be wrong!" Sun Liyan gritted her teeth, her eyes filled with jealousy. She subconsciously took out her phone and took a picture of the car's license plate.
She sent it to Wen Ya.
Not long after, Wen Ya called. "Are you telling the truth?"
"Yes, Ya Ya, I'm very worried. Has your sister been taken care of?" Sun Liyan said softly. She thought Wen Ya was very naive and that she had been deceived when she defended Wen Yan before.
Wen Ya was silent for a moment. "Don't worry about this matter. Just take care of yourself."
"Mhm, my relationship with him has always been very good. But I didn't expect him to come to pick up Bai Quan today. Damn it, could he still be interested in Bai Quan?"
Wen Ya said calmly, "Don't worry, Brother Beifeng would never like a scheming woman like Bai Quan."
"I think so too. Bai Quan had a child out of wedlock and used her child to get married. That's why the Rong family couldn't accept her!" Sun Liyan was very confident in herself. "I will definitely make Rong Beifeng see through this woman's true colors and escape from the sea of suffering soon!"
In the car.
Sitting in the luxurious and spacious car, Wen Yan looked out the window, but her mood was low.
"What are you thinking about?" the man's deep voice came from beside her.
"Nothing. Thank you for giving me a ride," Wen Yan said.
Her disappointment was written all over her face.
Night Lord looked at the girl's small face and felt inexplicably uncomfortable. "What, you're not happy that I'm picking you up?"
