Chapter 300 - Class Reunion

Chapter 300 Class Reunion

Everyone came here one after another on foot, by taxi or by bikes. They were all getting ready for a drink.

"Master Li, why do you start to ride a bicycle? This bike looks very classy!" Zhu Jianping, a male classmate of Xia Yu, said to Li Dachuan who was doing tile business in S City.

Li Dachuan laughed and said. "A discerning trader! This is imported from Italy. It costs me ten thousand yuan."

Xia Yu was drawn from what they said. "Why is the bike so expensive? I have never ridden a bicycle for more than one thousand yuan. What does it feel like to ride a ten-thousand bicycle? Let me have a try."

Li Dachuan handed the key to Xia Yu generously and said complacently. "If you like it, I can borrow you to ride for a few days. You will receive lots of head-turns on the road. I'm sure that many handsome guys will come to accost you."

"That's good!" Xia Yu didn't intend to attract the attention of handsome guys, but she had never seen such a high-class bicycle.

"It won't be late for a try after the meal!" Huang Liping, the classmate of Xia Yu, came out and shouted. She didn't expect that Xia Yu still liked riding bikes after so many years.

When they were in school, many students were picked up by their parents. If not, they might charter a car to go. However, only Xia Yu rode her bicycle to school every day regardless of the weather.

After hearing the words of Huang Liping, Xia Yu had to put the bicycle key back on the table. At this time, Yang Xu came to call everyone to eat and drink.

In a gathering, alcohol was indispensable, which could make people feel happy. And the pleasure is the mother of all virtues. Alcohol could also make people's mind more active, and closer to each other.

According to their own tastes, some of them drank white wine, and others drank red wine. Xia Yu drank the pineapple beer because she was not good at drinking. And then they toasted together.

After a few cups, everyone started to talk about business affairs and trifles in life. And they talk about whatever came to mind in this word. Sometimes they shouted together, and sometimes three or two people whispered to each other.

Li Dachuan lowered his voice and said to Zhu Jianping. "Old boy, help me please. Give me more loans for an emergency."

Zhu Jianping, the director of the Credit Section, was working in the bank. Li Dachuan had found the right person.

"I can't make the decision. Well, I will report your situation to the governor of the bank." Zhu Jianping left himself a leeway by those words.

Shen Yan sent a message to ask where Xia Yu was. Xia Yu told that she was in the classmate's gathering and then he didn't ask again.

Huang Liping smiled and asked, "Is your boyfriend for checking?"

"No, it's my boss!" Xia Yu explained it with a smile.

Yang Xu said aside. "Don't you know that Xia Yu is now the secretary of the second son of Shen Family."

"Tengfei is a big company. Xia Yu, you are awesome!" Huang Liping said enviously.

"No matter the company is big or small, we all come to make a living." Xia Yu said modestly.

"In my opinion, all of you do better than me!" Yang Xu said with a wine glass in his hand. "I don't care. You guys should subsidize me."

"You are really a beggar pretender. Everyone knows that you have a monthly salary of 80 thousand after-tax." Zhu Jianping was very contemptuous of the behavior of Yang Xu.

"Big Brother, if I really earn 80 thousand for a month, why am I still so hard?" Yang Xu was full of grievances.

"You are powerful as the leader or the boss. Xia Yu and I are just common workers. If you still talk like this, we have to leave." Huang Liping said unpleasantly aside.

"What kind of boss am I? I'm just making a living." Li Dachuan smiled and picked up the glass. He turned his eyes and saw a big shot coming over. He hurriedly winked at Xia Yu aside. "The real boss is coming, your Young Master Yan."

How could he appear here? Xia Yu looked back and found that it was really Shen Yan with Liu Sijie.

"Xia Yu, the class reunion you said is held here." Liu Sijie also saw Xia Yu and greeted her with a smile.

Xia Yu stood up and asked. "Why do you come here?"

"I went to the construction site for inspection together with Young Master Yan. And now we plan to work overtime after eating something here because it's too late."

"If Young Master Yan doesn't mind, how about joining us?" Yang Xu rushed over to greet Shen Yan and Liu Sijie.

Liu Sijie saw that Shen Yan didn’t show any objection, so he followed him.

When he came to the table, everyone yelled to greet him. The waiter poured a glass of wine to him and then he drank with them. He pulled a chair to sit next to Xia Yu and asked. "Why do you start to drink?"

"This is pineapple beer." Saying this, Xia Yu handed it to him to smell.

“Pineapple beer also contains alcohol.” He took her glass and set it before him.

"It is only one degree." Xia Yu took the glass back.

"Xia Yu, your boss is really concerned for you." Huang Liping said with a smile.

It was not a concern, but a trouble-making. Xia Yu glanced at him without a word.

"Young Master Yan is well-known for taking care of his staff." Other people tried to brown-nose him obsequiously aside.

Boss and employee? Was that how Xia Yu introduced their relationship? Shen Yan didn't pay any attention to her anymore after a glance at her. Then he started to chat with them. However, he took her glass to stop her from drinking when everyone raised the cup to toast with each other.

Xia Yu was full of grievance, but she had to control herself because it would be improper to conflict with him before them. Thus, she could only hold a cup of tea to toast with them. How boring it was!

After the dishes and wine of this satisfying meal on the table were swept away, a pot of light tea was put on the table. Then two classmates left by taxi. Xia Yu picked up the key of Li Dachuan’s bicycle and rolled up her sleeves to say. "Let me try the luxurious bike first. Enjoy yourself!"

Shen Yan turned his head and looked at Xia Yu. When she stood next to the bike, he shouted. "Don't go too far. Just turn around in the neighborhood."

Xia Yu's patience went out because he had meddled too much in her business, such as not allowing her to drink pineapple beer. Now he should have a problem with cycling How could she ride a bicycle in this limited space like a piece of tofu?

Xia Yu lifted got her legs up on the bicycle and said disdainfully. "You like poking your finger into every piece of cake!" Then she rode the bike and went away.

It was really a good bike with flexible control, which could save much strength. On the bike, she felt like flying because it was light. That was so cool! Cool! Cool! Cool! Xia Yu rode faster and faster on the bicycle lane with trees on both sides moving backward quickly. Xia Yu fancied that she was a hero who could fly on the grass. The battery car next to her was easily overtaken by her, and soon she arrived at the riverside.

As Li Dachuan said, the bike was so awesome which had attracted the eyes of many handsome guys. Perhaps due to the beautiful appearance of Xia Yu, two young guys greeted her.

Xia Yu just smiled and then ignored them. She pedaled the bike to turn back immediately to avoid some unnecessary affair troubles.

She rode just a few hundred meters on the bicycle lane along the road. A car suddenly stopped in front of her to block the way when she was crossing the intersection. The brake function of the bike was so excellent that Xia Yu stopped steadily. When preparing to go around, she saw that Jiang Tao opened the door and got off the car.

Xia Yu was shocked and instinctively turned to the other side. Jiang Tao immediately drove up to chase her. He drove on the road while Xia Yu rode on the bicycle lane. They were separated by a green belt. He shouted, "Miss Xia, stop please. I have something to tell you."

However, Xia Yu had nothing to talk with him because he put Tu Aiming in trouble after he failed to frame Shen Yan. Xia Yu heard from Jiang An that Old Madame of his family almost beat Jiang Tao to death.

She also said that he should settle it by himself. She didn't care whether he was put in jail or not.

Maybe he was too anxious to stop Xia Yu here. He wanted her to help him make it up with Shen Yan. But how could Xia Yu help him? She hurriedly rode off in the direction of the restaurant, but why was the bike not as fast as it came? The wind was so strong that it lowered her speed!

Xia Yu looked across the road while riding. She saw that Jiang Tao’s car was really approaching. He couldn't pass it for the time being because he was on the other side of the road and there was a green belt between them.

Xia Yu had to stop to call Shen Yan, but she found that the phone was left on the table when she left hurriedly. God! She swore that if she couldn't correct this bad habit of losing things, she couldn't be a real person in this word.

She could do nothing, but tried to ride to the place full of people. However, there were no shops and few pedestrians along this stretch of road. The closest place with more people was the intersection five or six hundred meters ahead. Xia Yu was occupied with panic now, which made her whole body covered with cold sweat.

The speed of a bicycle couldn't surpass that of a car. When it was about three hundred meters away from the intersection, Jiang Tao suddenly appeared from the green tree and blocked the way in front of her.

With a sudden brake, Xia Yu lost her center of gravity to fall on the road due to her poor riding skills.

"Miss Xia, are you okay?" He ran nervously to help her.

"Don't touch me!" Xia Yu exclaimed.

"Well, I won't touch you! I won't!" He didn't touch her finally, but came to hold her bicycle.

Xia Yu immediately stood up and took a few steps back. Then she asked him in the distance. "What's wrong with you? What do you want?"

Jiang Tao looked at Xia Yu with sincerity. "I just want to have a peaceful talk with you. Don't treat me like that, ok?"

However, Xia Yu had nothing to say to him. "Master Jiang, we are not very familiar with each other."

He smiled bitterly and said. "Miss Xia, it is so indifferent to say this. My winery was destroyed, and my family was trapped in chaos. Even my father was sick in the hospital. Why should you say that we are not very familiar?"

"Wait...wait a minute. You mean that I instigated someone to destroy your winery and the sickness of your father resulted from his anger with me?" Xia Yu glared at him. Could you be more reasonable?

Seeing that Xia Yu passed the buck clearly, Jiang Tao began to say something unreasonable. "Of course, you’re involved. I wouldn't have been put into prison if you had said something for me when Zhang Peng and Yang Ke'er framed me up that day. Then I would have been free from those troubles later. If Young Master Yan hadn't put the pressure on the chief of the Public Security Bureau, they wouldn't have destroyed my winery and messed up all things in my family."

Damn it! It was useless to reason with a man like that. Xia Yu was so angry that her blood vessels were going to explode. Then she refuted. "Are you out of your mind? It was Yang Ke'er and Zhang Peng who framed you up. So you should charge them if you have the evidence. Is it useful to importune me here?"

He closed his eyes and grabbed his chest. Then he sighed heavily. "I don't want to quarrel with you. Let's talk peacefully, okay? I just want your help to plead Young Master Yan for giving me a way out. He will listen to you because you are his girlfriend." He started to adopt a gentler way by crying heart-brokenly because he failed when he took more aggressive measures.
