Brother Chu, I'm sorry!
After the elevator stopped, Chu Chen and Huang Meng Ting arrived at the fifth floor. The elevator had staff members to guide them, which saved Chu Chen some time to find a place.
"I heard that the reunion was held on Li Liang's ship, which is why I was able to book it at this Binhai Hotel."
Huang Meng Ting explained to Chu Chen as if she was reminding him of something on purpose.
Li Liang?
Chu Chen was not unfamiliar with this name.
After all, Li Liang was a well-known figure in the Binhai University back then. His father was the Head of Department, and he also had an uncle who was the Chairman of the Municipal Assembly. His mother was an executive in a large company, and Li Liang was the Chairman of the Student Council.
However, the most important thing was that Li Liang was also one of the many men that had pursued Li Muwan.
It was a pity that Li Muwan chose Chu Chen in the end, so naturally, Chu Chen had also been remembered by Li Liang as a hateful person. He had helped Chu Chen a lot, and the lightest case was the grant of a scholarship to a top student in the school.
However, all of these things were in the past, and were no longer worth mentioning in Chu Chen's eyes.
"Chu Chen, don't take Li Muwan's matter to heart." Huang Meng Ting comforted Chu Chen.
She thought that Chu Chen didn't say anything at all because she mentioned Li Muwan's name in the elevator and poked Chu Chen's heart.
Not long ago, the news of Li Muwan's engagement had also reached the ears of the other students.
Of course, the target was not Chu Chen.
It was said that she was with a descendant of some super big family in Binhai. As for which family it was, it was not something an ordinary person like her could know.
That year, Chu Chen had feelings for Li Muwan, and Huang Meng Ting saw it all in her eyes.
Every day, he would wake up early to deliver breakfast to Li Muwan. He worked diligently and thriftily, used his tuition to buy gifts for Li Muwan, and on Li Muwan's birthday, he would even set up a candle in front of her house.
But now, after Huang Meng Ting knew that Li Muwan was engaged and that she had met Chu Chen again, she started to secretly rejoice in her heart.
"It's really you, Chu Xueba. I thought that Li Muwan was lying and playing around, but no one believed her when she said that she met Chu Chen on the way." Just as the two of them reached the door of a branch room, someone noticed Chu Chen and came over.
Liu Yong had been brothers with Li Liang in university, so his relationship with Chu Chen wasn't very good either.
As for why he was called the Chu Chen Scholar, it was because Chu Chen had been studying very hard at that time and firmly believed that reading books could change one's fate.
The fact is, learning is one thing, and in society it is another.
And Liu Yong's current smile and pleasantries were only for show.
Chu Chen nodded his head, in agreement.
"Meng Ting is here too. I heard that you have gone to Binhai First High School to be a chemistry teacher." Liu Yong, who was looking for trouble with Chu Chen, shifted his attention back to Huang Meng Ting. Huang Meng Ting casually exchanged a few words of pleasantries with Liu Yong, before walking into the hall.
The walls of both sides of the large hall were made of glass, and one could clearly see the surface of the sea not far away. The wind blew from both sides of the hall, and the lighting was extremely good, which was one of the characteristics of this hotel.
It was just that the fifth floor was too low to see any further.
However, it was not bad. It was impossible for ordinary people to hold a banquet here.
It was only thanks to Li Liang's relationship with his father that he was able to find a branch on the fifth floor.
"Chu Chen, you came too?" Occasionally, when people saw Chu Chen, they would all come up and greet him.
After all, because of Li Muwan's existence, Chu Chen had become famous in the Binhai University.
A man with an unremarkable appearance had already won over Li Muwan, who was ranked in the top ten, so how could he not be famous?!
"Huang Meng Ting, what's wrong? Li Muwan no longer wants Chu Chen, has the chance come?" A man and woman beside him joked. It was Jiang Yanyan and Zhang Kui.
Jiang Yanyan and Zhang Kui had been lovers since college. In the eyes of the outside world, they were also a loving couple. Jiang Yanyan and Huang Mengting shared a dormitory, and Zhang Kui was also one of Li Liang's friends.
As for Chu Chen, he was probably busy to take care of his only sister, Chu Yanxue, so he did not stay at school.
Probably because of this, Chu Chen did not have anyone who was particularly close to him.
Hearing the teasing words of the two, Huang Meng Ting's face immediately blushed, but her peripheral vision continued to scan Chu Chen's body.
"Quick, take a seat. Come sit with me at Meng Ting's place." Jiang Yanyan waved to Huang Meng Ting, signaling her to sit down beside him. Huang Meng Ting also walked over to take a seat, she wanted to call Chu Chen.
"Hey, there's someone at this table. It's Liu Yong, who's welcoming the guests over there." Zhang Kui said to Chu Chen, who was stunned, and tactfully went to the tables to look for a seat.
"I'm sorry, there's someone here now as well..."
"Brother Chen went to the toilet over there"
"Here, Little Shen …"
After going through it a few times, Chu Chen had practically walked all over the surrounding tables. There were clearly empty spots everywhere, but there just wasn't any spot for Chu Chen.
Chu Chen laughed playfully, how could he not understand all of this.
"I thought I was seeing things, it's actually Brother Chu. It's been a while, where have you been recently?" Just as he could not even find a spot to sit, a tall man walked over. His height of nearly 1.9 meters was almost a head taller than Chu Chen.
The man looked down at Chu Chen condescendingly with a ridiculing smile on his face. Ever since he had found a seat, the man had been staring at Chu Chen.
He wore a suit with the collar, shiny leather shoes, and a straight back.
"What's going on here, does Chu Chen not have a seat? How did you arrange it, Li Liang! " A clear and melodious female voice rang out, and a woman walked out from behind the man.
It was Li Muwan, the second time Chu Chen met her after he returned.
Today, Li Muwan had changed into a lighter outfit, probably because the reunion wasn't a formal occasion. A simple light blue shirt with brown jeans made her look fresh and clean.
"Didn't Mu Wan also not say whether Chu Chen would be able to come or not? I can only do whatever I want. Big Brother Chu, I'm sorry for what happened today. I'll have a drink! " Li Liang pretended to sincerely apologize as he poured himself a cup of wine and downed it in one gulp.
"Forget it. Since there is no place for me here, I might as well take my leave." Chu Chen was about to turn and leave, but there was a hint of anger in his words.
"There's a plastic stool here. I'm small, Chu Chen and I will squeeze together." Huang Meng Ting stood up and said to Chu Chen.
"That's right. It's fine as long as we squeeze. Meng Ting won't take up much space anyway." A few female students who were standing by the side spoke up for Huang Meng Ting to smooth things over.
The entire restaurant focused on Li Liang and Chu Chen.
Those with discerning eyes could clearly see what was going on inside … He never thought that even though Li Muwan was already engaged, Li Liang was still jealous of Chu Chen and couldn't forget what happened back then.
Sigh, in the end, it was a beauty disaster!
