Laughter broke out at the dinner table.
No one named names, but there was no doubt they were mocking Luo Chen.
Clearly, someone who could not even take care of himself still had the nerve to offer help to Chen Qian?
And for some reason, Chen Qian finally spoke up this time.
Tears hung on Chen Qian’s face as she said in a choked voice.
“Actually, I am getting married tomorrow too.”
The moment these words left her mouth, everyone at the dinner table was stunned.
“That is good news, Chen Qian. Why did you not tell everyone?”
But Yu Qian shook her head.
Because she and her boyfriend were both very poor.
No wedding dress, no money for a banquet, so they had not invited anyone.
To put it in very plain terms, it was a naked wedding.
The wedding venue might be extremely simple, and the two of them did not even dare tell their respective parents.
Because they were truly too poor, they could not even afford wedding rings.
After Chen Qian spoke about the matter, everyone fell silent.
But the others treated it as a minor interlude.
They did not particularly care. Since Chen Qian had not asked them, they would not take the initiative to go. After all, if they went, would they not have to give a gift of money?
Not everyone was a rich second generation like Liu Yunwei. With money at home, he naturally did not care.
Many people still cared very much about giving gift money. After all, with classmates gathered together now, it was impossible to say there would be no comparison.
At that time, a few hundred yuan would definitely be too little to give. If they gave one or two thousand, for many classmates, that might be half a month’s salary.
The gathering continued until midnight before dispersing.
Everyone walked out of the restaurant.
The most eye-catching was naturally Liu Yunwei. While many still did not have cars, Liu Yunwei already owned a Range Rover, making him stand out exceptionally.
There were even a few female classmates who wanted a ride, but they were all rejected by Liu Yunwei.
He had already arranged to take Yu Shasha, the class beauty, home.
The cars were quickly arranged. Those with cars each took people they were closer to or knew better.
Only Luo Chen and Chen Qian were ignored.
Luo Chen need not be mentioned. Everyone could see that Liu Yunwei was deliberately targeting him.
On the one hand, Liu Yunwei truly looked down on Luo Chen. On the other hand, Liu Yunwei wanted to show off in front of everyone, so he naturally used Luo Chen as a stepping stone.
It just so happened that Luo Chen himself was also tactless, insisting on showing off and being laughed at by everyone.
As for Chen Qian, it was because people truly did not want to get too close to her.
So no one was willing to drive these two home, even though there were still many empty seats.
Luo Chen did not mind either. He walked to Chen Qian’s side and spoke.
“Qianqian, let me take you home.” Luo Chen smiled.
Seeing that no one was willing to take her home, Chen Qian naturally nodded. It was already very late, there were no buses, and she could not bear to take a taxi.
Moreover, the others were unwilling to take her home. At this moment, Luo Chen spoke up, which naturally moved Chen Qian very much.
When Liu Yunwei heard this, he could not help but give the others a meaningful look.
“I say, Luo Chen, did you not come by taxi?”
“How are you going to take Chen Qian home?” Liu Yunwei obviously wanted to expose Luo Chen. He felt that even as a rich second generation, he was not as pretentious as Luo Chen. For Luo Chen to show off so casually was truly a bit too much.
But what surprised Liu Yunwei was that Luo Chen did not show any embarrassment at being exposed. Instead, he even glanced at Yu Shasha.
Then he spoke.
“Shasha, it is on the way anyway. Want to come with me?”
Luo Chen did not know that Yu Shasha already had an opinion of him at this moment. He still treated Yu Shasha as a classmate. Since they were staying at the same hotel, he might as well take her back along the way.
“Hehe, thanks, but no need. I already made plans with Yunwei to take his car back.” Yu Shasha waved her hand and smiled.
Are you kidding me? I have a Range Rover to sit in, and you want me to take a taxi back with you?
Do I have a brain problem?
“Luo Chen, how could you even think of it? You want our school beauty to take a taxi with you?”
A group of people laughed. This guy really liked showing off, but unfortunately, every time it only ended in a joke.
You are about to take a taxi home, yet you still have the nerve to invite the class beauty to come with you?
Where did you get the courage from?
“Luo Chen, why do not you two wait here for a moment? I will send these two home first, then come back to pick you up.” Zhou Yihui had a Volkswagen and stepped forward at this moment to help Luo Chen out of the awkward situation.
But Luo Chen did not mind either.
“I have a car. No need for a taxi.”
Then he spoke to Chen Qian again.
“Wait for me a moment. I will go get the car.”
“Sure, everyone do not leave yet. Luo Chen, show us where your car is?”
“What car do you drive?”
Luo Chen did not respond either. He walked toward the other side, seemingly really going to get the car.
When he arrived, there were no parking spaces here, so the car was parked a bit far away.
After Luo Chen left, Liu Yunwei suddenly spoke to Chen Qian.
“Chen Qian, do not believe his nonsense.”
“He does not have a car at all. He even came to Qingshui City by bus with Shasha.”
The others also turned their gazes toward Yu Shasha.
Yu Shasha sighed, then nodded.
“You probably do not know. I went to pick them up today. I deliberately did not let him get in the car and made him take a taxi here. And now he still wants to show off in front of us.” Liu Yunwei added.
He hated this kind of pretentious person the most. But now he wanted to see how Luo Chen was going to keep up this act.
With Yu Shasha’s nod of confirmation, and after hearing Liu Yunwei’s words, everyone naturally understood what was going on.
So no one left. Everyone was waiting to see how Luo Chen would get out of this situation today, waiting to see Luo Chen’s joke.
You do not even have a car, yet you still insist on putting on this act?
And Yu Shasha sighed even more. Luo Chen, why do you have to show off like this?
You came with me on the bus. Would I not know whether you have a car or not?
And now you insist on putting on this act?
I will see what you do in a moment.
“I say, he has been gone for so long. Could he have secretly run away?” someone spoke up.
“Do not say that, it really is possible.”
“How did he become this kind of person?”
“Just now he said he was a young grandmaster, and I let it go. But he clearly has no car, yet he insists on saying he has one.”
But right at this moment, suddenly, vroom.
An explosive engine roar tore through the silent night sky.
Immediately, a Bugatti charged over quickly from the distance.
Everyone was standing by the roadside. A car suddenly charging over so fast startled everyone.
But that car charged straight over, then did a very cool drift and U-turn right in the middle of the road.
The entire manoeuvre, combined with this super luxury car, the Bugatti, was simply indescribably cool.
The car stopped perfectly in front of Chen Qian. The door opened, and Luo Chen stepped out from inside under everyone’s dumbfounded expressions. Then he pulled open the car door and spoke to Chen Qian. “Let’s go, Qianqian!”
