Chapter 836: Chapter 832: That’s My Woman

When he’d nearly finished eating, the others also seemed ready to leave.

"Have you all eaten enough? If you’re good to go, let’s head out. This meal’s on me." Liu Xuebin stood up and declared heartily.

The other classmates, upon hearing this, were naturally overjoyed but didn’t forget to feign politeness.

"Oh, how could we let you do that, Xuebin? Class reunions should be AA-style, right?"

"Yeah, exactly! This place, Lin Tianxia, is pricey. Better not let you foot the whole bill. Let’s all chip in."

...

"Haha, there’s no need to argue about this. I said I’m treating, so I’m treating. Actually, the cost isn’t high. I know the boss here, so I can get a discount. Rest assured." Liu Xuebin laughed boldly as he spoke.

"Huh? Xuebin, you know the boss of Lin Tianxia?" One of the classmates seized on Liu Xuebin’s earlier words with a surprised expression.

Liu Xuebin nodded smugly when he heard this: "Heh, yeah, not just know them—we’re pretty close too."

"Close? Wow, Xuebin, you really lucked out! Li Family’s daughter is gorgeous and capable. If it works out, remember to invite us to drink at the celebration!"

Nobody knew whether the person was hard of hearing or what, but even though Liu Xuebin merely said he knew the boss, they jumped to the conclusion that there was something romantic going on.

Without hesitation, they outright said they’d come drink if Liu Xuebin managed to marry her.

With this comment leading the way, everyone else got confused and suddenly regarded the hotel owner, Li Han, as Liu Xuebin’s girlfriend. One by one, their expressions turned astonished.

After all, everyone knew that the Li Family was the richest in the county—and this hotel belonged to them, which they were all aware of.

Their previous attitude, sucking up to Liu Xuebin due to his family background, had already been fawning.

Now, hearing that Liu Xuebin might have this sort of connection with the Li Family, they were practically ready to worship him.

"Wow, Xuebin, you’re incredible. If you become a son-in-law of the Li Family, don’t forget us!"

"That’s right, Xuebin. I studied architecture—could you put in a word with Ms. Li’s father and see if I can get a job at his company?"

What was initially a subdued atmosphere suddenly grew lively again. Everyone started treating Liu Xuebin as though he were already the future son-in-law of the Li Family.

Watching this unfold, Chen Yang nearly spat out his drink with laughter. Seriously? This works?

Chen Yang struggled to keep from laughing out loud, wanting to see how Liu Xuebin would react.

Chen Yang had thought Liu Xuebin might clear it up, since something like this isn’t something you joke about. But to his surprise, Liu Xuebin, desperate to save face, simply leaned into the misunderstanding and confirmed it with conviction.

"Ahem, these things are minor. If things work out, I’ll invite you all to the wedding—haha!" Liu Xuebin said happily, showing no trace of anxiety about the lie.

"Hahaha!"

Seeing this, Chen Yang could no longer hold back his laughter because it was just too absurd.

If you’re going to boast, at least have some boundaries! Even this sort of claim?

Chen Yang burst into laughter again, drawing the attention of everyone in the room.

Particularly Liu Xuebin, who was already suppressing his anger. Chen Yang’s sudden outburst immediately ticked him off.

"What the hell are you laughing at? My wedding’s funny to you?" Liu Xuebin coldly demanded!

"You’re asking for trouble, Chen Yang! I’ve tolerated you for a long time—what’s your problem, huh?" Liu Xuebin’s sidekick, Zeng Yingjie, also exploded in fury, sounding even more aggressive than Liu Xuebin.

Though it wasn’t really his business, Zeng Yingjie wanted to make a strong impression, so his attitude was even fiercer.

It was as if Chen Yang had been mocking him instead.

"No, no, don’t misunderstand me. If you’re getting married, I wouldn’t find it funny. But if you’re marrying Li Han, then yes, I find it hilarious—downright absurd." Chen Yang waved his hands repeatedly, smiling as he explained.

"Chen Yang, you’ve gone too far this time. Before, Xuebin let it go, but are you just trying to push your luck now?"

"Seriously, saying Xuebin and Ms. Li’s marriage is absurd—is that supposed to be funny? Are you trying to show off how clever you are?"

...

Just like that, the so-called classmates began ganging up on Chen Yang, painting him as some kind of villain.

Chen Yang silently asked himself—since he walked in, what exactly had he done wrong?

The reason these people acted like this was simply because he didn’t play along and suck up to Liu Xuebin like they did.

"Heh, what does it mean to ’push my luck’? Just because I don’t pander to him, I’ve offended him?" Chen Yang sneered in reply.

"You..."

Those indignant classmates were immediately at a loss for words after Chen Yang’s rebuttal.

Without giving them time to recover, Chen Yang turned to Liu Xuebin and said, "Don’t you think this is absurd?"

Facing Chen Yang’s gaze and question, Liu Xuebin felt a pang of nervousness deep down. But then he thought, none of these people knew Li Han personally anyway, so who could expose him?

As soon as that thought crossed his mind, his expression grew resolute: "How is it absurd? Go ahead and explain. If you don’t provide a solid reason today, this matter isn’t over!"

His face was filled with anger, as though Chen Yang had insulted his future marriage.

"That’s right, Chen Yang! If you can’t give us a proper explanation today, you’ll kneel and apologize to Xuebin!" Zeng Yingjie followed up furiously.

The other classmates voiced their agreement, all demanding Chen Yang account for himself.

Facing their collective insistence, Chen Yang wasn’t about to hold back either.

"Alright, I’ll tell you all why this is absurd."

Chen Yang stood up with a faint smirk, then said matter-of-factly, "Because Li Han is my girlfriend. So you tell me—my girlfriend marrying you, isn’t that ridiculous?"

Whoosh.

The moment Chen Yang said this, the entire private room fell silent. Everyone froze, failing to process what he had just said.

After about ten seconds, as they gradually comprehended his statement, the room exploded into laughter.

"Hahaha..."

"Wow, that’s ridiculous! Beyond absurd! I’m dying here!"

...

After the laughter subsided, the mocking began.

"Unbelievable, Chen Yang—you must be crazy! How can you even say something like that? Have you no shame?"

"Dreaming! Li Han! Ms. Li! Li Family’s heiress! You think someone like you—a mere waiter—could ever reach her level?"

"Exactly! Take a look at yourself—she wouldn’t even hire you as a server here!"

...

Once the matter was out in the open, everyone spoke unreservedly, siding with Liu Xuebin and jeering at Chen Yang.

Amid their taunts, disdainful expressions flickered across their faces. To them, Chen Yang was merely stirring trouble. Otherwise, why would he have said something so ridiculous?

With the classmates taking this stance, Liu Xuebin naturally went even further.

After laughing heartily, his face openly displayed an intimidating expression.

However, knowing he couldn’t physically confront Chen Yang in this situation, he planned to publicly humiliate him instead.

"Chen Yang, you say my girlfriend is your woman? Then, since that’s the case, why don’t you pay for this dinner? After all, it’s your woman’s hotel, isn’t it? What do you say?" Liu Xuebin crossed his arms with a playful smirk.

"Haha, exactly, Chen Yang. If Ms. Li is truly connected to you, covering this meal shouldn’t be a problem for you, right?" Zeng Yingjie echoed with a cold sneer, aligning himself with Liu Xuebin’s suggestion that Chen Yang foot the bill.
