Chapter 71: Block the gun

When she was leaving, she suddenly remembered the pair of high heels that she had only worn once, at a party. It was a birthday gift from Chen Biyu to her on her birthday last year.

Su Xian took out the pair of shoes and put them on. They matched the long skirt she was wearing quite well.

To be honest, her dressing skills were taught by Chen Biyu. It was much easier to get along with a carefree woman like Chen Biyu than Su Xian had imagined. Compared with He Xinwan's pretentious and well-mannered appearance, she was more willing to accept Chen Biyu's casualness, even her occasional unreasonable behavior. At least, she was real.

She was so busy taking care of herself that she neglected one thing. When she set out, it was the rush hour after get off work. She was stuck on the road. She could only wait helplessly, looking at the motionless car in front of her.

The car belonged to Zuo Yueyao. It was so clean that there was not a single unnecessary item. Su Xian even suspected that this guy had developed some kind of mysophobia. There was something vaguely stuck in the gap of the passenger seat. Su Xian reached out and touched it. It turned out to be a hair band with two small cherries hanging on it. It was obviously something for little girls. Su Xian just thought that it was some little princess who had the honor of sitting on the passenger seat of Zuo Yueyao and put the hair band into the drawer at hand.

Looking at the motionless car, she sent a message to Zuo Yueyao: I'm stuck in traffic.

Zuo Yueyao replied quickly: Don’t worry, drive slowly and be careful.

The traffic jam caused her to arrive nearly an hour later than the agreed time, and she was extremely annoyed.

It would have been fine if she hadn't agreed, but since she had agreed but wasn't punctual, it was not Su Xian's rule. She lifted her skirt and hurried to the private room on the second floor of the hotel. After hearing her introduce herself, the waiter took her to the innermost private room.

The waiter opened the door, and Su Xian's hand holding up her skirt stopped there. A group of people were sitting around a large table, and more than a dozen pairs of eyes were looking at his house.

She regretted it! She hated it! Zuo Yueyao, that bastard, why didn't he tell her that so many people were eating together!

Based on his memory, some of these people looked familiar, and Su Xian immediately thought of the words "class reunion".

In the past few years, apart from having dinner and chatting with Lu Xiran and Chen Biyu, Su Xian has never attended any class reunions. Firstly, she felt that such reunions were too boring because people were always comparing themselves with others or exposing each other's shortcomings. Secondly, she was afraid that others would ask about her past with Zuo Yueyao. Before this, the three words "Zuo Yueyao" were a taboo for her.

When it comes to class reunions, Chen Biyu is different. Whenever there is a reunion, she will go. That's why she can gossip about a lot of alumni news.

Everyone looked at Su Xian, making her feel at a loss. They weren't very familiar with each other to begin with, so what should she say when they said goodbye

In the crowd, I recognized the outspoken man from that year at a glance, Liao Xingyan. This guy must have had pretty good food in recent years. I can no longer call him the tall and thin guy.

Liao Xingyan's eyes widened: "This, this Junior Sister Su Xian?"

"Is my vision dazzled?" someone echoed, "It really is!"

"She has changed so much that I can't recognize her. I didn't expect that the little junior sister has become so beautiful!" Someone praised her generously.

Su Xian felt a little embarrassed.

Zuo Yueyao came over, naturally took her coat and handed it to the waiter, then opened the seat next to her for her to sit down.

When Su Xian saw He Xinwan's face, his face instantly became ugly.

Reminiscing about the past with classmates was secondary; the real purpose was to meet the person one admired. However, He Xinwan never expected that Zuo Yueyao would actually call Su Xian over. Over the years, she would occasionally deliberately mention Su Xian's name, but he would interrupt her decisively, as if he didn't want to mention this person or anything about him.

He Xinwan thought that he had let it go, and let it go completely, so she was sure and confident enough to win back this man's heart.

But at this moment, her self-confidence suffered a severe blow, and her dream was shattered in an instant.

"Zuo Yueyao, I've always suspected that you were hiding a mistress in this house. I didn't expect that after going around in circles, the person hiding in this house is still the same person from before." Someone made a harmless joke.

"This little junior sister is indeed worthy of the word delicate. It seems that our male god has a keen eye for pearls. It turns out that our little junior sister is a great beauty."

"Student Zuo, you have been hiding it well enough these years."

Zuo Yueyao just smiled when he heard the teasing, casually served Su Xian a bowl of soup, and gently reminded her: "The temperature has dropped. Wear a thicker coat when you go out next time. The one you just wore is too thin. It's easy to catch a cold."

"Tsk tsk tsk, listen, listen all of it, I really can't stand it anymore."

Su Xian stepped on Zuo Yueyao under the table, and seeing his indifference, she pinched him and cursed this dead man a hundred times in her heart.

"We agreed that family members are not allowed to attend class reunions. Zuo, you broke the rules. Should you drink a few more glasses as punishment?"

The word "family member" made He Xinwan's face turn pale.

She stood up suddenly, a little excited, but still forced herself to smile, but that smile was uglier than crying.

Everyone suddenly became quiet.

"Sorry everyone, I have something to do, so I have to leave first."

Su Xian saw the tear in the corner of He Xinwan's eye flowing down her cheek. She sighed silently, turned her head and asked Zuo Yueyao: "Do you want to chase after her? What if something happens?"

Zuo Yueyao glanced at Liao Xingyan, who nodded sharply: "I'll go right away."

What a good buddy.

"Student Zuo, you really have a heart of stone. You made our Nan Da goddess look so heartbroken."

He teased, but not blamed: "But it's better to make it clear. There's no point in being so vague. If you don't like it, then don't delay it. It's a man's style. It's just a pity that our goddess has been so devoted to him for so many years."

"You two have been single all these years, I thought you were going to have a happy marriage"

The person next to him coughed and signaled to be careful with his words.

Su Xian found it a little funny. If Chen Biyu knew that most of the gossips she had heard over the years were untrue, would she be furious

Su Xian looked at the dining table. Apart from empty wine bottles, there were leftover dishes. She felt that she had done her job as a shield today.

Su Xian could understand this one-sided feeling. It must be unpleasant, but feelings are never about right or wrong, or winning or losing. She thought He Xinwan and Zuo Yueyao were not suitable for each other back then, but now Su Xian has changed her mind.

He Xinwan is not worthy of Zuo Yueyao.

It’s not because Zuo Yueyao was her ex-boyfriend, but because He Xinwan is too self-centered.

At the same time, Su Xian understood everything. She understood why Zuo Yueyao wanted to take her to the airport to pick her up, and why he insisted that she come to have this meal.

"If I beat you up now, will it make you lose face in front of your brothers?" Su Xian asked, tilting his head and forcing a smile that couldn't be more forced.

She heard someone laughing, but she didn't know whether it was her or Zuo Yueyao.

"Probably." Zuo Yueyao answered her seriously.

Then Su Xian heard the undisguised laughter of others.

She wouldn't really beat him up, she just thought it was because she was hungry, she sighed silently: "I'm hungry, ask the waiter to bring me a bowl of rice, hot."

An enthusiastic senior brother stepped forward to explain: "I'm really sorry, I didn't know you were coming, and this guy didn't tell us. So, let me ask the waiter to bring the menu over. You can order whatever you want. Let's eat something new and hot. Is that ok?"

The waiter suddenly pushed the door open and placed three dishes in front of her.

Braised lion head, steamed fish, celery and black fungus.

These are what they used to eat often, and they are also what Su Xian likes to eat.

The waiter smiled and explained: "Mr. Zuo has instructed that these dishes should be served after Miss Su comes over."

“Well, just treat it as a fart.” The kind-hearted senior brother laughed and scolded: “You are here to irritate us on purpose today!”

Liao Xingyan came back not long after, and spread his hands: "She said she wanted to be alone, so I came back."

No one mentioned He Xinwan anymore. Everyone was just excited about Zuo Yueyao coming to North City. It was a blessing for a few friends to be able to reunite after many years and see each other often in the future. No one would bring up the past.

This old account will not be brought up, but Su Xian still needs to settle this new grudge. This is not something that can be settled with a few dishes!

"You are doing your best to make me hate you. Can I understand that you are taking revenge on me?" After filling his stomach, Su Xian began to settle the score.

The crowd dispersed, leaving enough space for the two of them. Someone patted Zuo Yueyao on the shoulder and gave him a "I'm fine" expression when leaving.

"That depends on how you understand it." Without any attitude of admitting his mistakes, Zuo Yueyao picked up a napkin and naturally wanted to wipe the stains from the corners of her mouth.

Su Xian blocked his good intention, "I have hands, I don't need you to do it for me."

Her tone was a bit bad. It was him who took advantage of her first!

Zuo Yueyao's gaze lingered on her beautiful collarbone for a while, "You look very beautiful today."

"Thank you, you're handsome too."

"Today, I owe you."

"No, no, no, you don't owe me, I owe you. I owed you in my last life!"

"Angry?"

"What do you think?" Su Xian frowned and complained: "Should I laugh out loud?" He stood up and put on his coat: "As agreed, I will accompany you for dinner, and we are even. Since we have known each other for a while, I will not charge extra labor fees. Goodbye."

He blocked her way and reminded her calmly, "It's just that I won't rent your house this time. It's not fair. There's no such thing as fair between you and me."

"That's fine." After all, her goal was achieved, and she was not in vain for being a victim: "Then classmate Zuo, I'll leave first. See you later, oh no, indefinitely." When she walked to the door, she turned back in annoyance and took out the car keys from her bag: "Here you go."

Zuo Yueyao put his hands in his pockets and only glanced at the keys: "I've been drinking and can't drive."

"Call a designated driver."

"My phone is dead."

"I'll help you call."

"No need to go through so much trouble." He snatched her phone away: "It's just a side job."
