I am not joking?
Luo Chen truly was not joking.
But now, the entire atmosphere truly plunged into complete awkwardness.
Yu Shasha finally could not help but sigh, then shook her head.
If you generously admitted your mistake, at worst you would lose some face.
But you insisted that you are that number one person of East China, the Young Grandmaster. That was truly going too far.
This gave the feeling of being somewhat immature and stubbornly clinging to face until the bitter end.
To put on airs before classmates, to boast so outrageously, was simply having a problem in the head.
If you boasted that your current net worth was several hundred thousand, even if a bit outrageous, a million, some people might believe it.
But you directly boasted that you are that Young Grandmaster with a net worth of ten or twenty billion. That was laughably absurd.
“Fine, you are, you are.” Liu Yunwei smiled, but then suddenly changed his tone and spoke.
“Since some people are unclear what the Young Grandmaster represents, let me explain.”
“The Wang family of Haidong, that is a family with a provincial governor. It is said that even the Wang family must bow their heads to that Young Grandmaster, and that provincial governor must treat that Young Grandmaster with courtesy.”
“The sect leader of East China’s Bajiquan Sect, Feng Tianlei, I think everyone has more or less heard of him?” Liu Yunwei let out a cold laugh.
“That is a true big shot. It is said he can ride a fierce tiger, his fame shaking all of East China. Even some big shots from Yanjing must give him some face. Yet he was slapped to death by that Young Grandmaster with one palm.”
“Also, that famously renowned Master Zhang of Haidong, spoken of as almost divine, it is said some foreign high officials once sought him out. He was merely a dog of that Young Grandmaster.”
“The Chu family and Jiang family of Haidong, how imposing were they? It is said merely because they offended that Young Grandmaster, they were ruined overnight!”
“To compare again, everyone knows my family also has several hundred million in assets. But compared to him, that counts for nothing.” Liu Yunwei spoke.
His family in Qingshui City was indeed considered extremely famous.
After such a thorough comparison, no one at the entire table was willing to pay attention to Luo Chen anymore.
Because Luo Chen had truly blown his boast sky high.
One does not boast like this.
Even the Chu family and Jiang family, whose fame shook Haidong, were destroyed with a flick of the finger. One could imagine how terrifying that was.
“If I could get to know that Young Grandmaster, no matter what, even being his mistress I would be willing.” Yu Shasha spoke with a smile.
But no one laughed at her for this statement.
Because the number one person of East China, the Young Grandmaster, at this moment, they clearly understood the terror of that position.
Probably some super second-generation rich kids in the entire country could not compare.
Then what was laughable about Yu Shasha saying this?
Luo Chen also did not speak again. Since these people did not believe, he had no need to explain anything.
But it was apparent that these classmates all carried a trace of disdain and contempt towards Luo Chen.
At this time, the protagonist of this occasion, the class monitor Zhou Yihui who was getting married, arrived fashionably late.
“Sorry, I am late.” Zhou Yihui held a carton of Chunghwa cigarettes in her hands.
Then she handed out cigarettes to all the male classmates one by one.
However, after finishing handing out cigarettes, a girl called Chen Qian who had been sitting in the corner suddenly spoke.
“Class monitor, could you give me one?” Chen Qian spoke.
Chen Qian had been sitting in the corner the whole time. Even during the conversation just now she had not spoken. And looking at her clothes, she did not seem to be doing very well.
Though her clothes were clean, they already appeared somewhat old and outdated, styles from several years ago.
When Chen Qian said this, Zhou Yihui smiled and handed Yu Qian a cigarette, but then spoke.
“Qianqian, when did you learn to smoke?”
“I do not smoke. My boyfriend said this kind of cigarette is quite high-end. I wanted to take one back for him to try. He has never smoked it before.”
When these words came out, everyone fell silent.
This sentence implied much information, but it was apparent that this girl Chen Qian might truly not be doing well at all.
Zhou Yihui smiled awkwardly and did not say anything.
Instead she changed the topic.
Actually, everyone was classmates. Logically speaking, at this time they should show concern. If they could help, naturally they should help.
But everyone continued chatting and laughing, directly ignoring it.
Liu Yunwei naturally remained the focus of the entire gathering. After all, he was a second-generation rich kid. His family truly had money.
And Yu Shasha and Liu Yunwei even occasionally got touchy-feely and playfully roughhoused.
“Shasha, you hid it deep enough. Working part-time as a model, your monthly salary is over twenty thousand.”
“Hehe, keeping a low profile, keeping a low profile…” Yu Shasha spoke proudly.
But her face still carried a haughty attitude.
Amidst toasts and cups passing around, everyone chatted and laughed. Apart from Luo Chen not drinking, everyone else drank a lot.
No one went to urge Luo Chen to drink. After all, everyone already regarded Luo Chen as that kind of person who, to put on airs before classmates, would not hesitate to blow his boasts to the heavens.
Perhaps because of the alcohol, in the end Chen Qian cried in the corner.
One or two female classmates went up to comfort her, but the effect was clearly not very ideal.
And Liu Yunwei and the others still pretended not to see.
After all, no one was willing to get too close to a classmate whose life had fallen into hardship.
However, Luo Chen was somewhat moved by that one sentence from Chen Qian.
Luo Chen rarely pitied anyone, but Chen Qian’s sentence stirred him.
So Luo Chen walked over, patted Chen Qian’s shoulder, and spoke.
“Qianqian, though we have not been in much contact, if you have any difficulties, you can tell me. If I can help, I will definitely help you.”
Luo Chen’s voice was not loud when he said this, but it was still heard by someone.
Immediately, a disdainful laugh came from the dinner table.
“Let me tell everyone a joke. You all know Li Chao was also in Haidong, right?”
“The restaurant where he works, you all know, is a place only some big shots of Haidong can go to.”
This everyone knew. Li Chao often secretly took photos and threw them into the group chat for everyone to see.
“Then some time ago, Li Chao ran into one of our classmates there. That classmate insisted on putting on airs before him, saying he was going in to eat.”
“Going to eat at a place only Haidong big shots can go to?”
“Then guess what happened?”
“In the end he was thrown out by them. That’s right, that classmate is sitting right here today.” Liu Yunwei let out a cold laugh. Though clearly Li Chao had not told Liu Yunwei the outcome of the matter.
But at this point it actually did not need to be stated explicitly. Apart from Yu Shasha, only Luo Chen was in Haidong.
Who this classmate was, everyone had a good idea.
Who else but Luo Chen?
Recalling Luo Chen’s boastful words just now, everyone almost immediately believed this matter.
At the same time, they became even more disdainful of Luo Chen.
So there was already this black history.
No wonder he had to put on airs just now.
Now he actually wanted to put on airs before Chen Qian again.
Everyone shook their heads. They had not expected that after a few years apart, Luo Chen had actually become like this. And Yu Shasha was thoroughly disappointed in Luo Chen.
