C789 Ruoxi and I Had a Fortuitous Meeting
This was Chris's wife, Jennifer. The woman said joyfully: "Previously, Chris said that it was a good suggestion to let him enter Yulei International, but you didn't know that his life in the United States was too leisurely. He always wanted to do some ridiculous things, and getting him to come back to China to work would be a good choice."
Lin Ruoxi had heard Chris mention that he had cheated before, so she probably understood what Jennifer meant. She smiled and said, "I am very grateful that he helped me, so of course I would welcome your return."
Chris walked up. Hearing his wife's words, he awkwardly laughed a few times.
Jennifer looked Yang Chen up and down again. "Mr. Yang, you really are an incredible man, what kind of magical power is this that makes Lin want to marry you? She's not an easy target. "
Yang Chen said in his heart, after drinking the knockout drug, it's easy to get close... He spoke in fluent American English, "This should be considered as a private matter between my wife and myself. If I were to say it out loud, she would be shy."
"Ohoho …" Jennifer laughed so hard she put a hand on her husband, Chris. "You're so funny. I've never seen Lin shy."
Lin Ruoxi bit her lower lip and secretly pinched Yang Chen's waist with her finger.
At this moment, a young couple with good looks also walked over. The girl's face was a bit round and her eyes were big, but there was a rare bookish air to her. The man was dressed in an old-fashioned yet gentle manner.
"Ruoxi, do you still remember me?" The round-faced woman stuck out her tongue mischievously.
Lin Ruoxi's eyes revealed a trace of friendliness. "Huang Le, am I that forgetful?"
Huang Le pulled her husband along happily. "Hubby, look, I already said Ruoxi wouldn't forget me!"
The handsome man nodded helplessly at his wife, then turned to Lili and said, "I couldn't do anything about her, so I just said it casually. Maybe Ruoxi had already forgotten about her, so she insisted on betting with me that you would definitely remember."
Lin Ruoxi asked with a hint of surprise, "You are Wang Haitao, right? You're married to Huang Le Le?"
"That's right, I didn't expect it to be this easy!" Wang Haitao patted the shoulder of the OP's wife and sighed.
At this time, everyone was talking as they sat down.
Yang Chen also couldn't say anything, so Lin Ruoxi chatted with these people to reminisce about the old days and occasionally explained a little to Yang Chen.
It turned out that Huang Le Le was Lin Ruoxi's little follower during her graduate school years. However, because Lin Ruoxi's brilliance was so dazzling, the girl did not even exist. Many people even called her "the girl by Lin Ruoxi's side" without even knowing her name.
Wang Haitao was a student of the Academy, but he was the only boy who liked Huang Le. However, there was a conflict between his Wang Family and the Huang Family.
The reason was because Wang Family and the Huang Family were all very scholarly in nature. Their families were filled with famous collectors, painters, calligraphers, connoisseurs, etc. One had a high-ranking background in the Ministry of Culture, and the other was in the SARFT's department. The two families were aristocratic families in Fuzhou, and the previous generation had competed against each other.
Because of this, Wang Haitao and Huang Le Le failed to develop a relationship in public.
Who would have thought that after a few years, these poor mandarin ducks, who had been implicated by the previous generation, would finally be married off.
The other couples present were all from Wealthy Classes or the descendants of high-ranking officials. If Chris wasn't the low-key graduate teacher, he really couldn't ask them to buy it.
However, because they had quite a good background, they talked and laughed merrily.
Only Yang Chen was not the most conspicuous person in the eyes of the crowd. Everyone present also knew that Lin Ruoxi had gotten married not long ago, so they only knew a little about him based on what Chris had said before. Especially when Yang Chen mentioned that he was the director of Yu Lei Entertainment Branch, a group of people couldn't help but reveal astonished expressions.
After all, in everyone's eyes, this was no different from 'eating soft food'.
Lin Ruoxi naturally didn't feel comfortable, but she felt too embarrassed to say Yang Chen's real background. She wasn't someone who liked to show off, so she could only pretend that nothing had happened.
Yang Chen was even more nonchalant. He just looked like he didn't want to eat at all, so he got anxious.
After a while, Chris looked at the time and asked curiously, "Why haven't Hansen and Yaxin come yet? I haven't missed them yet."
The moment he said that, the door was pushed open. Lee Jianhee and Shen Yaxin walked into the private room with a face full of pride as they greeted the crowd.
Obviously, Lee Jianhee and his wife were quite capable among the crowd and many of them stood up to welcome them.
Lee Jianhee pulled his wife to sit down with a smile and said, "Sorry for the wait. We arrived 20 minutes ago, but we just happened to meet a respected elder along the way. We also happened to be here for dinner, so we chatted for a while."
"The main character will always appear last. Wait a minute, that's how it should be. However, to be able to make Instructor Li respect him, he shouldn't be an ordinary character, right?" Immediately, someone flattered and laughed.
Lee Jianhee waved his hand and said modestly: "I, Li, have some face in Europe, but in China, I rely on everyone's love. That's right, that elder heard that Professor Chris is also here today, and said that he will come over later to toast a glass of wine. "
Chris was a little confused. He had been in China for a long time and knew a lot of people, so he couldn't really guess who it was. He asked, "Hansen, why are you so suspenseful?"
Lee Jianhee put on a charade and said, "Professor, you will know in a while. Let's start the banquet. Everyone has been waiting for a long time."
Chris laughed and cursed a few times. Then he got the waiters to start serving the dishes and poured out different drinks for everyone one by one.
As they chatted and drank, a group of friends who met again a few years later could be considered to be having a good time.
However, the most eye-catching protagonists were Lee Jianhee and Shen Yaxin. After all, regardless of whether it was the international social network, capital, or domestic political influence, the husband and wife pair were the cream of the crop.
In comparison, although Lin Ruoxi, who was usually the most beautiful, had the appearance of a beauty that surpassed all the other ladies present, she was not too dazzling.
When she was almost done drinking, Shen Yaxin suddenly stood up, raised her glass, and said to Lin Ruoxi who was sitting across the table, "Come, Ruoxi, let your old classmate toast you. I was able to achieve this happy marriage between Hansen and myself all thanks to your humility back then! "
Shen Yaxin made a joke out of it, causing everyone to glance at Lin Ruoxi. In the eyes of many, there was a sense of sadness.
Lin Ruoxi had not spoken much in the first place. Her face was as cold as ice after Shen Yaxin's farce. She reached out her hand to grab the wine cup, trembling slightly. She stood up slowly and raised her hand from a distance, saying, "This has nothing to do with me. You're welcome."
After she finished speaking, Lin Ruoxi took a sip before sitting down again without a sound.
Yang Chen was eating half of the pigeon and cutting it with his knife, pretending to be gentle. Seeing all of this, a hint of anger flashed across his eyes. He might have noticed something, but what made him even more uncomfortable was that Shen Yaxin clearly wanted to poke Lin Ruoxi's scar back then. Obviously, from Lin Ruoxi's suppressed emotions, it could be seen that she still hadn't completely forgotten some of the things that had happened that year.
When Huang Le saw this scene, she replied without thinking too much, "But honestly, I thought Ruoxi and Instructor Li would be together. I didn't expect Yaxin and Instructor Li to be together in the end."
"It can only be said that Yaxin is more blessed to be able to become Young Master Li's wife. Others are very envious of her." Another woman flattered.
Lee Jianhee waved his hand and said, "Everyone is praising me. Ruoxi and I are just fated for a brief moment. To be in love with Yaxin is the will of heaven. We just want to treat our wife well, and there's nothing special about it. "
"Instructor Li is too modest. Last month, Yaxin called me and said that you gave her a villa in the Aegean Sea for her to rest in. It's beautiful," a female classmate enviously said.
Lee Jianhee was elated, "Money is spent when it is earned. Isn't it no big deal if a man earns money for a woman?"
Everyone exclaimed in admiration. They could also give away a villa worth millions of euros. Even though their family was rich, it was still incomparable to the family wealth of an international consortium like Lee Jianhee.
Shen Yaxin smiled sweetly, "Actually, I think Ruoxi and Mr. Yang are quite compatible. Husband working for his wife must be spoiling his wife, right?"
Although the group of people heard that Shen Yaxin intentionally said that Yang Chen was useless, they all pretended to be confused and laughed happily.
Yang Chen went close to Lin Ruoxi's ear and whispered, "Wife, I want to throw the pigeon bones at that girl."
Lin Ruoxi's calm face showed a trace of panic. She moved her lips and said, "I know you're not afraid of them, but Chris is treating us today, and we're classmates, so it's not appropriate for us to fall out. Just bear with it, the time for one meal is over."
Yang Chen took a deep breath, "I'll listen to you temporarily. If she bullies you again, I won't tolerate it any longer."
Lin Ruoxi felt a trace of warmth flowing through her heart. After listening to those words, Yang Chen did not ask her what happened between her and Lee Jianhee all those years ago. However, he first thought of letting her not suffer grievances. It was obvious that he put her before all other men.
Just when everyone was talking passionately, Shen Yaxin acted as if she suddenly remembered something. She said to Wang Haitao, who had been silent the whole time, "Hai Tao, you're the most cultured and knowledgeable one. A few days ago, Hansen gave me a gift, but neither of us are sure if it's real or not. Please take a look."
