69 Gathering part 2 (1/2)
The students in the hall, upon seeing Yuanping bringing Ouyang Shuo into the hall with such zeal, they were shocked. Apart from him, the other person who had such treatment was the class flower Song Jia.
In the big hall, there were four tables. Yuan Ping led Ouyang Shuo to the first table and smilingly said, ”Our handsome guy Ouyang Shuo, all of you could still recognize him right?”
Sitting in the first table, apart from the class flower, there was also Meng Fei Fei and Tan Xiaoli whom he had met while shopping for new year goodies. Upon seeing him, they smiled and greeted him.
After Yuan Ping left, Ouyang Shuo started chatting with the other classmates.
In this world, there never lacked people who made others envy. At the same table was one of them known as Zhao Qinglin. After graduating, with the help of his parents, he became an assistant of the manager at Bingfeng Corporation, the most famous real estate company in the State of Jiao. Out of all the students, he could be considered as a successful person.
Towards Yuan Ping's family background, Zhao Qinglin was really envious. He especially rushed down to join the gathering but didn’t expect that Yuanping arranged him at the first table and just left. Rather, he had treated Ouyang Shuo with so much warmth, making him jealous.
He said coldly to Ouyang Shuo,” Old classmate, you are so impatient. Wearing the watch so quickly, you can’t afford to buy such electronics?”
Upon hearing his words, the whole table was quiet. Two of the school straight A students who were doing just okay now were embarrassed and hid their watches upon hearing that.
Ouyang Shuo laughed, however, he wasn’t the goody two shoes in school so upon being challenged he said,” Yup I can’t afford it. Since your family background is so rich, why not learn from Yuanping and give all of us a handbrain?”
The students at the table laughed, lacking the awkwardness from before, they all looked at Zhao Qinglin to see what he would reply.
”You!” Zhao Qinglin didn’t expect Ouyang Shuo to be so shameless, admitting his lacking against him. It was true he had a good family background but that was only compared to these students, if not he would not need to rush here to get close to Yuan Ping. To ask him to take out 200 thousand credits for gifts, that was impossible.
Ouyang Shuo paid little attention to his embarrassed face, taking up the teacup and drinking casually.
Tan Xiaoli who was sitting by his left gave him a thumbs up and commended him,” Wow! Is that the nerd and quiet Ouyang Shuo? You really changed our opinion. If I didn’t have a boyfriend I would chase you.”
”Cough cough!” Ouyang Shuo choked on the tea. Are all the girls nowadays so open, bring up such daring topics.
”What’s with your expression, don’t tell me sister cannot fit with you? Although you are very handsome, sister has both bodies and looks okay?” Seeing Ouyang Shuo's expression, Tan Xiaoli expressed her sadness.
Ouyang Shuo raised his hand to surrender, ”Student Tan, Beautiful Tan, I am wrong. Let me off this time.”
”He! I’ll count it as you know the truth.” Tan Xiaoli moved her eyeballs, walking to his side, ”Aiyo, you don’t have a girlfriend right? Let me introduce you to Fei Fei.”
Ouyang Shuo hadn’t said anything but Fei Fei who was at the side had already blushed red and grumbled, ”I’m going to rip your throat.”
Seeing the two women playing fools at the side, Ouyang Shuo helplessly shook his head. His eyes landed on Song Jia who was sitting opposite him. He paused for a moment before he nodded his head, greeting her.
Song Jia was like Yuan Ping, they both came from a well to do family. The Song family was top 2 in Lingnan and coupled with the fact that Song Jia was a beauty with an exquisite personality, making it hard for people to get close to her. Yuanping kept trying to chase her since the start of high school but sadly it didn’t work out.
At this student gathering, maintaining relationships was secondary, what was primary was his attempt at chasing Song Jia. Ouyang Shuo envied the determination of Yuan Ping, not giving up after 10 years.
Song Jia wore a white bead high waist dress, giving off the feeling of a goddess. Seeing Ouyang Shuo greet him, she raised her teacup. Ouyang Shuo raised his and they did a toast, it seemed like they had a tacit understanding.
This scene was seen by Zhao Qinglin and he was so jealous that he was practically going crazy. The goddess didn’t even look at him. His hatred towards Ouyang Shuo had intensified.
Not long after, all the classmates had arrived and the gathering officially began. Yuan Ping went back to the first table and sat at the head seat, his left and right being Ouyang Shuo and Song Jia.
