Chapter Forty-two: Situation Diagram

  Zhang Heng took Zhao Xue to the 'Rainbow Private Restaurant' and it was already nearly six o'clock in the evening. When he pushed open the door and walked in, there were no longer just Xu Qing and Wei Qiang, but a dozen or so people, with unfamiliar faces and even more familiar ones. The two tables were completely full!

  "Look, Zhang Heng is here!" shouted Li Jing, a lively and outgoing student from their class. She was moderately good-looking, but she knew how to dress herself up. At that time, many classmates, including some from other classes, had secret crushes on her. This girl was quite bold and carefree, with two prominent peaks on her chest. When she went to school, she never wore a bra, and whenever she moved, it was like "one wave after another", very eye-catching.

  Zhang Heng smiled and pulled Zhao Xue in, turning his head to look at her: "No mistake, this kid has arrived, let everyone wait for a long time, haha, I'll punish myself with three cups later."

  Li Jingjiao smiled and gave him a sideways glance, standing up to say: "Who's looking at you? That face of yours can be imagined with eyes closed, we're here to see the little beauty behind you!"

  "Really, I heard you've got a lot of good fortune, just came back and already messed with someone's high school girl, is it true? Beast! Beast! Still the elegant kind." The one laughing and shouting was Li Meng, among these classmates, he was the richest on the surface, this 'rich second generation'.

  Zhang Heng rolled his eyes, no need to say that he definitely knew it was Wei Qiang's big mouth, the words came out of Xu Qing's mouth and spread out.

  Zhao Xue stood behind him, smiling with her eyes narrowed, looking very obedient and quiet, without saying a word!

  "You're even more beastly than beasts, Li Dashi! In these few years, the number of girls you've messed with could probably fill a large bus. With your behavior, how dare you criticize others!" Zhang Heng retorted bluntly.

  Li Meng didn't get angry, but instead smiled and said: "You little brat's temper hasn't changed a bit over the years. But you can't just say whatever you want, I'm Li Meng now, with a family and a business, don't mess with me or you'll be in trouble! Who's like you, still eating young grass? Classmates, today we can't let this scourge of the motherland get away, beat him for bullying people, drown him in drink, I fully support it!"

  "Right, drink him dead!"

  Many students followed Li Meng's lead and jeered!

  Zhang Heng was taken aback, looking at Li Meng in surprise. This kid has changed his ways. Then he looked at the woman sitting next to him and suddenly felt happy. Wasn't that "Evil Star" Li Xiaoxiao, also known as "Glasses Girl"? Had the two of them gotten together?

  "You two, have you become 'one family' with the police now?" Zhang Heng pointed at the two of them. Li Xiao had graduated from the police academy, completed a year of internship and half a year of work, and was probably already a regular officer by now! If she married Li Meng, relying on the influence of the Li family, she might even have become an official or something by now!

  "Who's the bandit?!" Li Meng was fed up.

  Zhang Heng ignored him and walked over with Zhao Xue, smiling as he introduced her: "Everyone, this is my girlfriend, Zhao Xue."

  "Hello everyone!" Zhao Xue's little face turned red as she said in a timid voice. She hugged Zhang Heng's arm and wouldn't let go! She looked like a well-behaved girl, not to mention how elegant and refined she was!

  But judging from her appearance, few people would believe she's a 'bad' girl. Zhang Heng sighed inwardly, pretending to be what you're not, go ahead and pretend then.

  "Alas, what a good girl she was, how did you little scamp bring her to ruin!" Li Meng looked at Zhao Xue with a shake of his head, his face full of worry and concern, with the air of a self-righteous moralist.

  But he's got a lot of tricks up his sleeve, who can't see that?!

  "Go ahead and be envious!" Zhang Heng smiled, pulling Zhao Xue to sit beside Xu Qing, introducing her by saying: "This is your sister Xu Qing."

  "Hello, Sister Qing!" Zhao Xue called out immediately.

  "You too!" Xǔ Qíng's face was smiling, but she didn't know why, looking at Zhào Xuě hugging Zhang Héng's arm, her heart felt a little uncomfortable, hmm, sour!

  A group of people gathered together, drinking and chatting, recalling some interesting things from a few years ago. Zhang Heng left Zhao Xue's side and sat down beside Li Meng and Wei Qiang, having a drinking competition.

  "Xu Qing, I heard that when you were studying in the UK, you found a foreigner as your boyfriend? Is this true?" Among the girls at the table, there was a woman named Wang Hong. During school days, Wang Hong was a pretty good kid. Although her studies weren't top-notch, she was above average. In terms of looks, although not as outstanding as Xu Qing or Li Xiao, she wasn't bad either.

  However, after several years of university life, it seems that the whole person has changed. How to say, it seems like there is an extra air about her, a kind of 'aura' that cannot be concealed. From frequently toasting Li Meng and batting her eyelashes at him, to constantly showing off her clothes and handbags to the female classmates around her, it can all be seen.

  For some reason, the muzzle was now pointing at Xu Qing.

  "Hmm!" Xu Qing looked at her eyes, smiled and nodded. Then she turned around and continued chatting with Zhao Xue and Li Xiao-Xiao beside her.

  "Hey, not bad. But you should be more careful, those foreign black guys, some of them are poor devils, not as good as our own people. By the way, has your foreign boyfriend bought you any clothes or handbags during this time?" Wang Hong said with a smile.

  Suddenly, everyone at the table fell silent and turned their eyes towards Wang Hong and Xu Qing.

  No one is stupid, who can't hear it out, Wang Hong is intentionally picking a quarrel!

  "Hehe, never happened." Xu Qing shook her head. She had never allowed Evan to buy anything for her. In fact, except for eating together occasionally, the two mostly communicated online. As for other aspects, she didn't know if it was because Evan was a gentleman or what, but he had never asked her out. The two had been together for three years and hadn't even held hands once.

  Ivan's secret, Xu Qing knew, but she never told anyone, Ivan was gay, she was just Ivan's shield!

  "What a loss!" Wang Hong cackled with laughter, like an old hen. She was just short of saying that these years weren't wasted letting the old foreigner have his fun.

  "Sister, are all the clothes and bags on you bought by your boyfriend?" Zhao Xue suddenly asked with a smile.

  Wang Hong's face didn't show any shame, instead, she looked pleased with herself, holding her head high and saying: "That's right, all of these were bought by my boyfriend. Apart from these, I also get 100,000 yuan in pocket money every month. Hehe, he's just too stingy, he even bought me a Nissan sports car for only 900,000 yuan."

  Although it's not hard to hear the boastful tone in his words, I couldn't help but notice a hint of envy in my old classmate's eyes. A monthly allowance of 100,000 yuan? I doubt I'll be able to earn that much in a year myself.

  Wang Hong just wanted to hear these old classmates flatter her, see them fawn over her, and that would give her a kind of addictive pleasure. At first, many people were better than herself, but now? She turned around and smiled at Zhao Xue: "Little sister, we women are all living off our youth, you know? You've got to have some style, and your age is just right. Otherwise, I'll introduce you to a big shot, and you won't have to worry about clothes or handbags for the rest of the year. You can easily make tens of millions!"

  This remark made all the old classmates present change their faces, which was obviously scolding Zhang Heng and pulling him down!

  Zhao Xue smiled and looked at her, shaking his head and saying: "For that little money, it's not worth it! Besides, others aren't relying on 'youth' to make a living!"

  "That little money? Ha ha, even if you work hard for a lifetime, it's unlikely that you'll be able to earn tens of millions, right?" Wang Hong laughed mockingly.
