School Beauty's Invincible Martial Expert

Chapter 714: Classmates Gathering



Men's tears are not easily shed, but when they are, it truly signifies a time of heartbreak.

Xiao Han never cried, even when he was trampled by so many people, insulted, he also never shed tears. Even when he was timid and fearful, kicked and punched by others, he never cried, and he would never beg for mercy. However, this time, Chen Zihan made him cry.

Because Xiao Han knew that Chen Zihan was the woman he truly loved in his heart, once lost, she might really never be found again.

Returning home from the hospital.

Xiao Han sat silently under the old locust tree at the entrance.

He looked up at the dark green leaves that shaded Xiao Han from the rain and shielded him from the intense ultraviolet rays.

"Xiao Han, what's wrong?" Mother Xiao was concerned about her child.

But, she noticed that since she got off work, her child had just been sitting here, motionless.

"Mom, I'm thinking about something." Xiao Han revealed an awkward smile and said, "Don't worry about me."

"Well... then I'm going to cook," Mother Xiao saw that Xiao Han was all right and didn't think too much.

"Go ahead," Xiao Han nodded.

Who can he share the bitterness in his heart with?

Let that first love be buried in the deepest part of his heart, hidden in the deepest layers of his mind.

Rumbling...

A flashy motorcycle sped toward him.

Li Dapang rode his motorcycle swiftly as he approached; he spotted Xiao Han cooling off under the locust tree from afar. He rode the bike right up to Xiao Han.

"Xiao Han, are you going to the class reunion tomorrow?" Li Dapang asked.

"We've graduated for two years, gathered three times, what's there to gather about?" Xiao Han shook his head, "No, I'm not going!"

"Come on," Li Dapang said, "We can now be considered successful people, isn't this time perfect to show off?"

"You're going to show off?" Xiao Han smiled, "Can you show off more than Jiang Xiaoliang?"

"Why not?" Li Dapang puffed out his belly, "He inherited a family business, we started from scratch. We're stronger than him."

"That might be true, but so what?" Xiao Han smiled, "These days, people are all about quick success and profits, only caring about who has more money."

"We've established Hanmen Group, if we announce it, it should cause a stir in our circle of classmates for a while," Li Dapang hurriedly said, "I don't believe it, if they knew Hanmen Group was founded by us, they wouldn't be shocked to death."

"Forget it," Xiao Han shook his head, "It's necessary to keep a low profile when it's time to do so. If it causes public outrage, or even jealousy, that's not good for Hanmen Group."

"What's there to be afraid of!" Li Dapang said disdainfully.

"If Jiang Group decides to deal with Hanmen Group at this time, it's like an adult bullying a child," Xiao Han smiled, "Hanmen Group is still a child and needs protection. Exposing it prematurely will only lead to its early demise."

"Is it that serious?" Li Dapang asked.

"Of course!" Xiao Han nodded, then asked, "If you were Jiang Xiaoliang, a potential competitor, wouldn't you do everything to annihilate him?"

"Yes!" Li Dapang nodded.

"That's settled then," Xiao Han patted Li Dapang on the shoulder, "So, it's best not to go to tomorrow's class reunion."

"Damn it," Li Dapang frowned, "I've worked hard to start a business, and I can't even talk about it. What's the difference between this and being all dressed up with no place to go?"

"People should learn to stay low-key," Xiao Han smiled.

"Being too low-key, how boring is that?" Li Dapang sighed, "Since you're not willing to go, then forget it. I won't go either."

"As I said, our high school reunion is nothing more than a solo concert by Jiang Xiaoliang," Xiao Han glanced at Li Dapang, then said, "Why should we join in the hubbub?"

"I just feel, as classmates…" Li Dapang blinked, saying helplessly, "Forget it, there's no point talking about it if we're not going."

"Heh heh..." Xiao Han chuckled.

These so-called class reunions are nothing but frivolous gatherings.

Next evening.

Class reunion.

This reunion was still held at the Sheraton Hotel.

At the top floor of the Sheraton Hotel, Jiang Xiaoliang once again booked the whole venue. This time, Jiang Xiaoliang promised that all the food and drinks would be branded, and announced that they had spent a million on this class reunion. That reignited the desire to attend among the classmates who had been disappointed last year.

However, Li Dapang was clearly not someone to mess with.

Last time, Jiang Xiaoliang had entertained his classmates with expired food and cheap drinks, a move that many remembered vividly. This time, Jiang Xiaoliang was attempting to redeem his image. But Li Dapang was clearly not going to let him succeed easily.

Li Dapang was no simple fellow; he intentionally spread rumors saying that Jiang Xiaoliang had served classmates expired food and cheap drinks last year and would do the same this year.

The news spread quickly among the class group, making Jiang Xiaoliang look quite bad.

However, everyone knew that Jiang Xiaoliang came from a well-off family. Moreover, Jiang Xiaoliang had clarified multiple times that it was a mistake made by the staff and had nothing to do with him. After all, he had eaten those foods and drunk those cheap drinks himself. When people thought about it, it seemed somewhat reasonable. After all, Jiang Xiaoliang's status and standing were much higher than their own, and since he had partaken as well, it indicated that he truly was unaware.

And so the message became entangled.

Some said that Jiang Xiaoliang was a miser, entertaining classmates with fake alcohol and expired food. Others said Jiang Xiaoliang had been unaware and would surely treat his classmates properly this year.

Eight o'clock in the evening.

Outside the Sheraton.

Cars came and went, and many luxury cars were parked at the entrance.

Most classmates had arrived at the hotel before seven o'clock and had made their way to the banquet hall on the top floor. This level was indeed impressive, and the decorations this time were quite nice. Many classmates had already arrived, and this time, quite a few students from different classes also came. Most significantly, their former headteacher Liu Jinmei was also present.

"Teacher Liu, hello!"

"Hello."

"Teacher Liu, do you recognize me? I am..."

"I recognize you, of course!"

Many classmates couldn't help but step forward to greet Liu Jinmei when they saw her. This time, even more classmates than last year turned up, and everyone seemed very enthusiastic. Liu Jinmei was invited because she wanted to see the students and because Jiang Xiaoliang had personally visited her to extend the invitation, even sending her an invite. Apparently, there was going to be a proposal ceremony this time, and Liu Jinmei was hoped to serve as a witness.

Liu Jinmei, overwhelmed by the gracious invitation, naturally ended up attending.

Seeing so many students made Liu Jinmei extremely happy.

"Teacher Liu, I'd like to toast to you," a female student eagerly said.

"Of course!" Liu Jinmei was open to everyone.

One toast followed another.

However, what made Liu Jinmei curious was that the one person she most wanted to see wasn't there: Xiao Han.

Although Xiao Han had not shown up for a long time and there was no news of him, Liu Jinmei had not forgotten about Xiao Han. It was Xiao Han who had single-handedly created the Hanmen Training Class and made Linjiang No.1 Middle School a legend in the educational world.

"How come Xiao Han hasn't come?" Liu Jinmei curiously asked.

"Not sure, but he should come," a bespectacled male student said.

"Oh!" Liu Jinmei nodded.

If Xiao Han would come, then her trip today would not have been in vain. After all, Xiao Han had always been her prized student. It was also because of Xiao Han that she had been awarded the title of National Outstanding Teacher and one of the Top Ten Teachers.

The classmates continued to arrive.

The entire top floor of the hotel was nearly full, with close to a hundred people. Some brought girlfriends, others brought boyfriends.

Jiang Xiaoliang was the man of the hour, dressed in evening wear with a bow tie around his neck. Holding a cocktail in his hand, he looked quite handsome and distinguished.

"Xiaoliang, looking sharp today."

"Haha, thanks for the compliment."

"Xiaoliang, are you planning to propose to Chen Zihan today?"

"Haha, it's a secret, secret!"

Many who saw Jiang Xiaoliang made their way to greet him, partly because he was today's main character and also because the event space was his. He had spent the money and made the effort, so naturally, they wanted to ingratiate themselves. They at least understood the basic principles of social interaction.

Jiang Xiaoliang was radiant today, his hair meticulously combed. In the pocket over his heart, he had prepared a big diamond ring. He had organized this class reunion simply to let everyone know that he and Chen Zihan were made for each other, a match destined by heaven. To show everyone that he and Chen Zihan were the perfect couple and that all other men were nothing but trash, especially Xiao Han.

Chen Zihan stood out among the women, wearing a purple evening gown.

Purple is a very mysterious color, which most people cannot pull off, but Chen Zihan wore it effortlessly. The purple gown made her look very high-end and classy. With a plunging neckline revealing a deep, voluptuous cleavage, she looked incredibly alluring.

"Zi Han, you look beautiful today," Yang Xiaoyan said excitedly.

Coming with Yang Xiaoyan was a rich young master, and this time, Yang Xiaoyan brought her boyfriend along, who, rumor had it, was a second-generation official from the Northeast. The guy was quite tall, over 1.8 meters, and had a decent physique, but his looks left much to be desired. Although Li Dapang was hefty, at least he was tall and well-proportioned with regular features. If he were to shed the excess weight, he could probably be quite handsome.

Unfortunately, Yang Xiaoyan had given up Li Dapang for someone with an inferior appearance. Besides being ugly, the man's face was covered with pockmarks. Even a layer of makeup couldn't conceal the spots on his face.
