Xia Zhao and Shen Yao were the only two of the four roommates who shared the same major and were also classmates.
If it were just an ordinary class reunion, they would have gone. However, this class reunion was organized by that scumbag Chen Xiaodong.
Chen Xiaodong was Shen Yao's ex-boyfriend. Although Shen Yao might have long forgotten about him, the classmates in the class loved to stir up trouble!
Everyone was an adult, and were adult class reunions truly about reconnecting? Impossible, they were merely about comparison.
Comparing whose job was better than yours, looking at the brand of your new car, or seeing if everyone had started a family and established a career, and so on.
In any case, it was definitely not about simple fellowship.
When Chen Xiaodong and Shen Yao broke up, that scumbag had spoken ill of Shen Yao in class more than once.
It was only because Shen Yao had submitted her thesis and passed her defense early, returned to her hometown, and couldn't confront him in person, which led him to become more and more outrageous.
Xia Zhao had confronted Chen Xiaodong more than once, implying he was a scumbag. Unfortunately, that guy was thick-skinned and had also managed to get involved with a wealthy patron.
He framed his betrayal of Shen Yao, his official girlfriend, as moving on to better things and having better choices, naturally choosing the better option.
Xia Zhao was so angry at the time that she almost couldn't stop herself from fighting him.
"Class reunion? What's going on?" Shen Yao asked, confused. She then took out her phone and opened the university class group chat, which she had muted a long time ago.
There were tens of thousands of unread messages. She didn't even want to look at them, so she scrolled up and found the message about the class reunion.
The initiator of this message was Chen Xiaodong. He said that because he had joined a listed company and even became a department manager, he wanted to invite everyone for a meal and a gathering.
Shen Yao looked at the name of the company Chen Xiaodong had posted. It was indeed a listed company. Although it wasn't a particularly large one, it was outstanding among their classmates.
"Yes, the group Chen Xiaodong is currently in is owned by the wealthy young lady he got involved with. He probably became a department manager through connections," Xia Zhao said.
Unlike Shen Yao, Xia Zhao loved to gather gossip. Therefore, even if she didn't actively participate in the group chat, she would still read the messages.
"I see." Shen Yao suddenly understood why her classmates had been so eager for her to attend the class reunion.
They saw that Chen Xiaodong had become a department manager and wanted to curry favor with him, so they thought of bringing out his ex-girlfriend to humiliate her.
"Since I have nothing else to do tonight, let's go and join the fun together," Shen Yao said.
As for the two little ones at home, she didn't need to worry about them at all. With Grandpa Mo and the old housekeeper doting on them, she could even stay out all night.
(Mo Chen: Stay out all night? Shen Yao: Just an analogy!)
"Alright, we can even go and shut them up," Xia Zhao said.
Then she told Shen Yao about her idea of taking some trial samples of Huan Yan to give to people.
Of course, Xia Zhao wasn't planning to give them to the people she disliked. She intended to give them to a few girls in the class who were on somewhat decent terms with her and Shen Yao.
Shen Yao didn't object. They were trial products anyway, not worth much.
After the two of them confirmed the meeting time for the evening, Xia Zhao went to attend to her work.
Shen Yao, on the other hand, returned to the Mo family residence and informed Grandpa Mo about attending the class reunion that evening.
"Attend a class reunion? That's great! Young people should go out and have fun, not stay cooped up at home all day." Grandpa Mo strongly approved of her attending the class reunion.
"Then I'll leave Tuanzi and Jiaozi with you and the housekeeper tonight," Shen Yao said.
"You can rest assured. I'll take good care of both of them. Also, check if the VIP card for that hotel is in the card I gave you; it can cover your bill." Grandpa Mo said.
Shen Yao recalled and indeed found a card in her mind. It was a black card from the Venus Hotel.
She had many similar cards in her possession, all of which Grandpa Mo and the old housekeeper had given her one after another recently.
Shen Yao nodded, indicating that she would bring the card. However, whether she would pay the bill depended on their behavior. It wouldn't make sense for her to be ostracized and then act as a fool to pay for them.
At 6 PM, Xia Zhao's car pulled up in front of the villa. Shen Yao had also tidied herself up, wearing a black silk slip dress with a white lace shirt draped over it, exuding an intellectual beauty.
"Wow, wow, wow, Yao Yao, your figure is incredible!" Xia Zhao's mouth watered with envy, and she couldn't help but reach out to touch Shen Yao's waist.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, Mo Xuan is truly blessed!"
Hearing Xia Zhao teasing her, Shen Yao retorted without backing down, looking at Xia Zhao, "You're not bad either. Look at that chest, not bad, not bad."
Xia Zhao was wearing a beige maxi dress with a plunging neckline, showcasing her ample cleavage perfectly!
Xia Zhao: Old pervert!
After laughing and joking for a while, the two of them got into the car and headed straight to their destination, the Venus Hotel.
After parking the car, Shen Yao and Xia Zhao walked into the hotel hand in hand.
As soon as they entered, the receptionist asked if they had a reservation. Upon learning that they were attending a class reunion, she directly led them to the central hall.
This was because the central hall was the only place in the hotel currently used for class reunions.
The Venus Hotel's first to third floors were used by the hotel for hosting banquets, weddings, and the like.
The fourth and fifth floors housed the restaurants, while the sixth floor and above were all guest rooms.
The central hall was on the third floor and was a medium-sized private room that could accommodate a hundred people, making it the most suitable venue for a class reunion.
As they walked out of the staircase on the third floor, they saw Chen Xiaodong and a girl standing at the entrance greeting people.
That girl was the wealthy patron Chen Xiaodong had gotten involved with, Zhang Qianqian.
Hearing the sound of the elevator, Chen Xiaodong and Zhang Qianqian looked up simultaneously, only to see Shen Yao and Xia Zhao standing at the elevator entrance.
Chen Xiaodong's expression changed, and his gaze shifted to Zhang Qianqian. As expected, he saw Zhang Qianqian's face darken.
After all, Zhang Qianqian herself was not particularly beautiful and was a vain person. Seeing Xia Zhao and Shen Yao immediately outshine her!
With her personality, she couldn't stand it, so her expression was naturally unpleasant, and she even pinched Chen Xiaodong surreptitiously.
Chen Xiaodong's waist ached, and he gasped in pain, but he could only endure it silently.
Xia Zhao didn't notice Chen Xiaodong's unusual behavior, but Shen Yao saw Zhang Qianqian's subtle movements one by one.
