Chapter 463

Hearing Xie Wenru hit the nail on the head, Xiao Chukun felt a bit guilty.

He was indeed afraid of Xie Wenru becoming his rival in love, but he certainly couldn't say such things in the classmates' group.

After all, he was a married man now.

So, he could only say insincerely in the group, "I'm afraid that after staying in Hong Kong for so long, you'll feel uncomfortable suddenly returning to Jin Ling. We are all getting old, and our bodies are aging. Rashly changing to a city with a different climate might cause health problems."

Xie Wenru let out two sneers and said, "My health is perfectly fine, so don't you worry about it!"

Xiao Chukun couldn't be bothered to deal with him anymore. He shoved his phone into his pocket and said to Han Meiqing beside him, "Meiqing, let's go inside and walk around some more."

Han Meiqing nodded and continued to walk around their alma mater with him.

At a little past 10 o'clock, Han Meiqing checked the time and said to Xiao Chukun beside her, "The class reunion is at eleven, and I see it's about time, so let's head over now."

Xiao Chukun nodded and said with a smile, "Alright."

Afterwards, he drove his BMW 5 Series and brought Han Meiqing to the Brilliant Club.

This time, Paul had reserved the fourteenth floor of the Brilliant Club for Han Meiqing, which was already the highest floor that normal members of the Brilliant Club could reach.

Even Xiao Chukun couldn't help but be a little surprised!

Last time, he had relied on his son-in-law Ye Chen knowing Master Hong Wu to go to the tenth floor once.

But he never expected that this time, Paul would be able to book the fourteenth floor directly!

It was said that the fifteenth floor was for the Song family's own use and was not open to the public, which meant Paul must be one of the highest-tier members here.

Moreover, the tenth floor of the Brilliant Club was already very, very luxurious, so wouldn't the fourteenth floor be luxurious to the heavens?

Going up the elevator, Xiao Chukun couldn't help but ask Han Meiqing beside him, "Meiqing, is Paul's relationship with the Song family very good?"

Han Meiqing nodded and said, "After all, we have had a cooperative relationship for many years, and we have helped them solve quite a few troubles in legal matters, so the Song family is quite polite to us."

Xiao Chukun sighed in admiration; it seemed that this young man Paul was truly young and promising.

The two arrived at the large, luxurious private room on the fourteenth floor, where many old classmates were already waiting.

This room had a table that could accommodate 50 people for a meal; the table was huge and extremely luxurious.

The entire table was electric; as long as people sat there, the food would rotate at a constant speed in front of them, ensuring everyone could taste every dish.

Moreover, such a large table could be filled with 100 dishes; it was incredibly extravagant.

It was said that the standard for such a meal started at at least 20, 00 per person.

There were over 40 old classmates who came today, many more than last time, so Paul's expenses for hosting this event were estimated to be at least over 1 million.

Seeing Han Meiqing and Xiao Chukun enter together, many old classmates were dumbfounded.

A nosy person asked directly, "Meiqing, how come you came with Xiao Chukun?"

"Did you two happen to bump into each other downstairs, or did you arrange to come together?"

In the crowd, a middle-aged man wearing a high-end suit, with his hair slicked back and looking very imposing, was staring fixedly at Han Meiqing. This was Xie Wenru.

Xie Wenru had been waiting for Han Meiqing since he entered the room, and now that she had arrived, he naturally watched her without blinking.

He found that Han Meiqing was still as beautiful, as outstanding, and as intoxicating as ever.

He couldn't imagine that Han Meiqing was already 50 years old and could still be so breathtakingly elegant.

This only strengthened his conviction to pursue Han Meiqing.

But he never expected that the Han Meiqing he had been thinking about for over 20 years would walk in with Xiao Chukun, the scumbag who had hurt her before.

He couldn't help but feel a surge of anger, stood up, and questioned Xiao Chukun, "Xiao Chukun, how do you have the nerve to come up with Meiqing? We all know exactly what you did to Meiqing back then. If it weren't for you, this scumbag, how could Meiqing have traveled across the ocean to live in the United States for so many years? You should feel incredibly ashamed of her in your heart. If I were you, I wouldn't have the face to come at all!"

Xiao Chukun was also very angry and said indignantly, "Xie Wenru, don't be so excessive. Anyone with eyes knows what happened back then; it can't be blamed on me at all!"

As he spoke, he added, "Do you think I've had it easy these past twenty-some years? I tell you, for these twenty-some years, I have been more regretful and ashamed than anyone else!"

Xie Wenru said unyieldingly, "You should be ashamed! So I advise you to leave quickly; you shouldn't have come to this meal."

Han Meiqing suddenly spoke up at this moment to smooth things over, "Alright, alright, don't bring up those old, stale matters anymore. We aren't young like we were back then, when we all liked to gossip. We're all forty or fifty years old now, why talk about these things?"

After finishing, she looked around and said seriously, "Every one of you here was invited by me personally, so please don't have any unpleasantness between you."

Xiao Chukun sneered at this time and said to Xie Wenru, "Xie Wenru, did you hear that? Even Meiqing said so, what right do you have to drive me away?"

After saying that, he tapped his forehead and said, "Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you, I didn't just come up with Meiqing. I went to the hotel where Meiqing is staying early this morning to pick her up, then we went to our alma mater to walk around, reminisced about our youth, and then came here to meet you all. What? Do you have an opinion?"

Hearing this, Xie Wenru was instantly furious and uncomfortable.

After all, he had only been secretly in love with Han Meiqing unilaterally, unlike Xiao Chukun.

Xiao Chukun and Han Meiqing had actually been together for a long time back then.

And the two of them were truly a handsome man and a beautiful woman at that time, recognized by the entire school as the most standard couple.

Therefore, there were many stories between these two, and them going back to their alma mater to reminisce about the past was inherently a bit ambiguous.

Xie Wenru was very depressed and didn't know how to retort when young Paul pushed the door open and said to Han Meiqing with a smile, "Mom, I've already greeted Uncle Yu, the butler of the Song family. He will arrange everything properly for you and your classmates' gathering today, so you don't need to worry. Just enjoy the gathering with your uncles and aunts."

Seeing Paul, the crowd couldn't help but exclaim in admiration. A woman blurted out, "Oh my, Meiqing, is this your son? He's so handsome!"

Han Meiqing nodded gently and said to everyone, "Come, let me introduce him to you all. This is my son, his English name is Paul Smith."

Someone else exclaimed, "Oh my, Han Meiqing, your son is a mixed-race child. He must be the one you had with your American husband, right?"

Han Meiqing smiled and said, "If he wasn't born with my husband, who else could he be born with?"

The crowd burst into laughter.

Xie Wenru asked at this time, "Hey, by the way, Meiqing, Paul should have a Chinese name too, right?"

Han Meiqing nodded and said with a smile, "Of course he does. Paul's Chinese name follows my surname."

Everyone asked curiously, "Then what is Paul's Chinese name?"

Paul smiled slightly and said, "Uncles and aunts, my Chinese name is Han..."

Before he could finish, Han Meiqing hurriedly interrupted, "Today is our reunion, not a gathering with my son. Let him go first, let us old folks reminisce!"
