97: Class reunion

"Don't touch me!"

Su Mei forcefully shook off the security guard's hand, then looked up at Xiao Xing and cried out again.

"Face reality. Just leave quietly and don't throw away the last shred of your dignity."

Xiao Xing spoke and then shook her off directly. For the sake of their past together, he had already tried his best to restrain himself. If she continued to be unreasonable and pester him, he wouldn't spare her another glance.

After Su Mei was pushed away, she still wanted to pounce forward, but Chen Hua waved his hand and had the security guards drag her out.

"Mr. Xiao, it's our hotel's fault for ruining your mood for dinner. I'll take you to a private room to dine. All your expenses today will be on the house. Please forgive us."

Chen Hua made a gesture of invitation, signaling to Xiao Xing and the others to head to the private room.

He had heard from the waiter and knew a bit about the situation here, but he had to appease the Supreme Card customer first before dealing with the rest of the matter.

"Let's go."

Xiao Xing didn't say much. He took the two women's hands and followed Manager Chen to the private room.

After Chen Hua settled Xiao Xing and the others, he quickly returned to the lobby.

After looking into the matter, he immediately fired the waiter who had served Xiao Xing's group.

Following that, he intended to kick Qian Hao and Manager Zhang out.

But just then, the two of them suddenly screamed in pain and collapsed to the ground, with a large amount of blood oozing from their crotches.

If anyone had looked at that moment, they would have found that their nether regions were several times wider than those of old women... After arriving at the private room, the two women became lively again.

Xiao Xing was worried that the incident just now had affected their mood, so he kept making them laugh out loud.

"Don't tell me you two came here to invest in projects too."

After the three of them had a pleasant meal, Xiao Xing asked about their purpose for coming.

Seeing Shangguan Yinger's intention to enter the City Hall, she likely had business to attend to. People didn't usually come here for trivial matters.

"I plan to build a residential area in the suburbs, so I came here to discuss land expropriation with the mayor."

Hearing Xiao Xing's question, Shangguan Yinger took a sip of tea and spoke calmly.

Since she was establishing a guild, she needed to recruit management and core members.

Therefore, she needed a place to serve as both the company and their residence, much like a massive game studio, to facilitate unified management.

She chose to invest in developing the suburbs because the required capital would be much lower, and for a game studio, location didn't really make a difference.

Xiao Xing understood her meaning and subsequently took the two women to the City Hall.

Because of his presence, the mayor personally approved a land-use right for Shangguan Yinger. He didn't even ask for money, telling her she could build whatever she wanted.

The location of that land was only one kilometer away from Xiao Xing's residential area, which was very close.

Mu Yaner's residential area was considered to be in the suburbs but wasn't remote. Xiao Xing had originally rented a place there mainly because it was close to his company.

After finishing their business, Qing'er clamored to go play in the city center. Xiao Xing accompanied them for the whole afternoon before heading to the Shengchao Grand Hotel alone.

By the time he arrived at the entrance of the Shengchao Grand Hotel, it was already past 7:00 PM.

As it was a large five-star hotel with various entertainment facilities, it was very crowded.

He came here primarily to kill Mu Xiu; the class reunion was just something he was attending on the side.

Xiao Xing entered the hotel and took the elevator to the 8th floor, where the KTV was located.

At this time, many people were already coming up to open private rooms. Most of those coming for KTV were hotel guests.

Xiao Xing quickly found Room 808, which Qin Fei had mentioned. He went to the door and knocked.

After a moment, the door opened, and a young woman poked her head out. When she saw Xiao Xing, she recognized him instantly.

Because of his excellent academic performance, Xiao Xing had been the Study Representative. Not only his classmates but even many students from other departments knew him.

This young woman was named Deng Suyuan. She was very sweet-looking but had a very petite build. Although she was in her twenties, she looked like a girl of fifteen or sixteen.

However, Xiao Xing admired her somewhat. Back in school, Su Yuan was one of the few girls in their class who hadn't dated anyone in four years.

Because of her petite stature, everyone mocked her, saying she couldn't find a boyfriend.

"It's Xiao Xing! Why didn't Su Mei come with you?"

After seeing Xiao Xing, Su Yuan's little head looked left and right. Not seeing Su Mei, she gave Xiao Xing a puzzled look.

She had liked Xiao Xing back then, but after asking him out a few times, he was only interested in being Su Mei's lapdog and ignored her completely, so she stopped pursuing him.

Ever since her first failure pursuing Xiao Xing in university, she had never looked for another boyfriend, which was why everyone joked about her being unable to find one.

"Su Yuan, you're just like always. You haven't changed a bit!"

Xiao Xing didn't answer her question but instead smiled at her.

He knew Su Yuan liked him back then, but because he liked Su Mei, he hadn't ended up with her.

Seeing Su Yuan again now, he felt she was actually quite cute. Back then, he was so focused on pursuing Su Mei that he didn't pay attention to any other female classmates.

There were many female students in his department who were much prettier than Su Mei, but Xiao Xing was stubborn back then and never paid them any mind.

"Xiao Xing, did you break up with her?"

Su Yuan's eyes lit up. She sensed a hint of hope in Xiao Xing's tone.

If they hadn't broken up, Xiao Xing certainly wouldn't be speaking like this.

She had a crush on Xiao Xing for four whole years, but until graduation, Xiao Xing had never broken up with Su Mei.

She had originally felt there was no chance, but Xiao Xing's words now made her feel hopeful again.

"It wasn't a breakup; she dumped me. Are you going to laugh at me?"

Xiao Xing rubbed his head, looking a bit embarrassed. If he could choose again, he would rather have chosen Su Yuan than pursue Su Mei.

"I can't even find a boyfriend myself, what right do I have to laugh at you?"

Su Yuan puffed out her cheeks and turned her head away, looking sad.

However, while she looked unhappy on the surface, she was overjoyed inside.

Xiao Xing had finally broken up with Su Mei. Whether Xiao Xing liked her or not, at least there was a chance.

So she planned to work hard while Xiao Xing was still single; maybe they could be together.

"Hey, you little shrimp, what are you doing standing there for so long?"

After the music in the room stopped, a man's voice came from inside.

They had been preoccupied with their own fun and hadn't noticed what Su Yuan was doing. Now that the song was over, everyone saw her still standing at the door.

"Xiao Xing, I'll take you in. Quite a few classmates came tonight."

Hearing the shout from inside, Su Yuan took the opportunity to take Xiao Xing's hand and lead him in.

When they entered the private room, it was a space of about a hundred square meters, fully equipped with various singing and audio-visual equipment.
