Chapter 460
Xiao Changkun dressed himself up like an old overseas Chinese returning from Nanyang, handsome and stylish.
This time, he and Han Meiqing had a very good understanding. Xiao Changkun didn't take Ye Chen with him, and Han Meiqing didn't take her son Paul either.
Xiao Changkun drove his BMW 5 Series to the Bai Jinhangong Hotel to pick up Han Meiqing and return to their alma mater together.
Now, Han Meiqing was wearing a long gray woolen coat, which looked very elegant. When they met at the entrance of Bai Jinhangong, Xiao Changkun was fascinated by her.
He got out of the car himself to open the door for Han Meiqing and couldn't help but praise: "Meiqing, you look so beautiful today!"
Han Meiqing smiled slightly and said: "I'm already at this age, what's beautiful or not? It's just that I'm going back to my alma mater to take a look, so I tidied myself up to look neat, so I don't lose face for my alma mater."
As she spoke, Han Meiqing added: "Besides, there is a gathering with our old classmates today."
"Oh, right!" Xiao Changkun patted his head and said: "Look at my memory. I was just thinking about accompanying you to visit our alma mater and forgot about the class reunion. Right, has the location for the class reunion been decided? If not, I can let my son-in-law help."
Han Meiqing hurriedly said: "The place has already been decided. I asked Paul to help book it. He said it's a place called the Brilliant Club locally."
Xiao Changkun was surprised and said: "Brilliant Club? The requirements for guests there are very high. Has Paul been able to get a membership there just after arriving in Jin Ling?"
Han Meiqing said with a smile: "I'm really not too sure about the specifics. I only know he told me that our law firm seems to have a long-term cooperative relationship with the parent company of this Brilliant Club, and all their overseas legal affairs are entrusted to our law firm."
Xiao Changkun was shocked!
The parent company of the Brilliant Club is naturally the famous Song family in Jin Ling. He didn't expect that the law firm of Han Meiqing's family actually had a cooperative relationship with the Song family!
He originally wanted to let his son-in-law Ye Chen help arrange a venue at the Brilliant Club and take the opportunity to show off.
But he didn't expect that Han Meiqing's son directly solved this matter, which was really unusual.
So, Xiao Changkun hurriedly made an invitation gesture and said: "Come, Meiqing, get in the car."
Han Meiqing thanked him and sat elegantly in the passenger seat of Xiao Changkun's BMW 5 Series.
While driving to Zhong Shan University, Xiao Changkun couldn't help but sigh: "You haven't been back for twenty-plus years, right?"
Han Meiqing said: "I have been back to the country, back to Su-Hang, but I haven't been back to Jin Ling."
Xiao Changkun hurriedly asked: "Is it because of that matter back then that you didn't come back to Jin Ling?"
Han Meiqing said earnestly: "Half and half. On one hand, it's because of the previous matter, which made me not want to come back to face the memories. On the other hand, I don't have any relatives in Jin Ling, and old classmates haven't been in touch for a long time, so I haven't been back."
Xiao Changkun nodded, thinking that during the last class reunion, many classmates used his past love triangle relationship with Han Meiqing and Ma Lan to tease him.
So, he said earnestly to Han Meiqing: "Meiqing, at today's gathering, it's possible that those old classmates will tease us about our past affairs. You must not take it to heart then. This group of people are all a bit old and improper!"
Han Meiqing said with a smile: "As long as it's not distorting the facts, it doesn't matter if they tease us a bit. If I were afraid of their teasing, how could I have facilitated this class reunion? Everyone hasn't seen each other for 20-plus years. The friendship of classmates back then is greater than everything. What does it matter if they tease me a couple of times?"
……
Arriving at Zhong Shan University, Xiao Changkun parked his car in the parking lot at the school gate and walked into the school side by side with Han Meiqing.
Classes were in session at the school, so the campus was very quiet.
The two walked on the cement road of the campus, and Xiao Changkun introduced it to Han Meiqing beside him: "Actually, over so many years, our school has been rebuilt and renovated several times, and it's completely different from the way it was back then. To tell you the truth, our school was still very broken back then."
"Yes!" Han Meiqing also couldn't help but sigh: "I remember our school only had one cement road back then, which was the road from the school gate. The other roads were paved with slag ash. Sometimes the school even asked local students to bring burnt coal balls from home to pave the roads. That kind of road was very muddy when it rained. I hated it back then, but now that I think about it, I still miss it."
"Yes, yes, yes!" Xiao Changkun said with a smile: "Back then, I often brought burnt honeycomb coal balls from home to school. Do you remember that year the school was going to hold a sports meeting, but the track of our school playground was too bad, so the school mobilized us to try every possible way to get more materials that could be used for paving roads."
Han Meiqing laughed: "I remember, of course I remember. At that time, you paid out of your own pocket and took many male students to push tricycles all over the city to collect burnt honeycomb coal balls."
As she spoke, Han Meiqing looked at Xiao Changkun with a stream of light in her eyes and sighed again: "I remember you pulled many carts to the school one by one at that time. Later, half of the entire playground track was paved by the people you brought, so the teachers and the school valued you especially and made you the student union president of our school."
"Yes." Xiao Changkun rubbed his hands somewhat embarrassedly and said: "At that time, the spirit of dedication was popular!"
Han Meiqing nodded and sighed: "Oh, at that time, you were really heroic, making countless little girls admire you very much. I remember that the girls who liked you in the school back then were really in a long line."
Xiao Changkun's old face turned red, and he said happily: "At that time, there were even more boys who liked you. I couldn't even count how many there were."
Han Meiqing smiled indifferently: "It's all old history. No matter how many people like you, it's useless. Many people just treat you as a passing cloud. They like you very much when they like you, but they forget it as soon as they turn their heads."
Xiao Changkun pointed to a small park in the campus and said: "This used to be a quite large forest. Every night, many classmates who were in love or dating would come here to date. We also often came here back then. Do you remember?"
Han Meiqing, who had always been calm, blushed when he said this.
How could she not remember that forest? Back then, that was the holy land for many wild mandarin ducks in the school to have a secret meeting. She and Xiao Changkun had also come here many times.
At that time, everyone was really open in this small forest. When they loved deeply, they felt they could do anything with the person they loved.
Plus, in that era, there was nowhere else to go, so everyone came here, and everyone took it for granted.
But now that I think about it, the group of young people back then also had quite open thoughts, and their guts were much bigger than the young people now……
