Chapter 377: Chapter 377: What’s Wrong with Being a Pretty Boy?

"Throughout the years of class reunions, this is the first time everyone has shown up so completely. Right now, all of us are brothers and sisters thriving in Jiangning. In previous gatherings, there were often absentees. I can only say, it really is Chu Tianyang’s prestige that brings us together!"

Everyone took their seats one after another, with class monitor Xia Meimei wearing a face full of emotion.

Unfortunately, even though she was the class monitor, her seat was now near the entrance.

After all, as the organizer and the one who had done the best, Chu Tianyang was entitled to sit there.

And naturally, the one who should have been sitting by his side was Ning Mengyao.

But Lin Fan had gone ahead and sat right next to him.

Separating him from Ning Mengyao.

As for the other classmates, they all took their seats according to their current social standings.

Those who sat by the entrance were the unemployed drifters.

Smiling throughout the entire event.

This is the difference between society and school.

"Big Monitor, stop ribbing me. It’s only because everyone is so gracious," Chu Tianyang said with feigned modesty; however, his head instinctively turned to look in another direction.

Completely ignoring Lin Fan beside him.

"When given face, you must accept it. That’s also a rule."

Lin Fan was still considering how to get ahold of the other person’s hair.

He couldn’t wait to see the means of a curse master killing someone.

"Yes, when given face, you should accept it, but that’s only if you’ve got the talent. As for those without any, they still have to rely on someone else’s prestige to sit in such a place and bask in the success of others."

Chu Tianyang said with a sneer, turning his head away.

Beneath the surface of his words, he was clearly ridiculing Lin Fan for riding on Ning Mengyao’s coattails.

"That’s true, there will always be some people in this world who like to bluff, thinking they’re great with no real skills. It’s surprising that you, Chu, have some self-awareness about this. Surely, people coming from the provincial capital are different, even in self-reflection you seem to have more insight than those of us who left smaller places."

Lin Fan smiled as he looked at Chu Tianyang.

With just one sentence, he had silenced everyone present.

Because everyone knew that Chu Tianyang had relied on Tang Yixuan to go abroad to study.

Having returned, he set out on his career in the provincial capital.

To say he went abroad to develop was really just being a gigolo.

In comparison to the beautiful Ning Mengyao, Tang Yixuan was quite ugly.

"What did you say!"

Chu Tianyang suddenly glared at Lin Fan, his face turning ashen.

Even though nobody dared call him a gigolo now.

Deep down, he knew exactly what he had done.

"I was just praising your ability to reflect. Everyone knows about your business anyway. The Tang Family’s background in the provincial capital is quite famous, isn’t it? Without her money, how could you have possibly gone abroad?"

Lin Fan was exceedingly direct.

After all, he was here to get some hair, nothing more.

"That’s because I have the capability, which is why I received support from the Tang Family. Over these years, with my talents, I’ve also become indispensable to the Tang Family, receiving their recognition because I’ve created enough wealth. How is that the same as you?"

Chu Tianyang argued vehemently, his face and ears flushed with anger.

How could this just be the start and already things were turning so unpleasant.

"Oh, you got recognition, but why did I hear from a friend that next month, Tang Yixuan from the Tang Family is marrying Shen Yuxiu from the Shen Family? They say it’s a union of two powerhouses. Could it be because of a shared name?"

Lin Fan rested his chin in his hand, smiling as he watched Chu Tianyang.

For such an annoying but not threatening guy,

He obviously had Dragon Tooth pull up some related information.

Even Ning Mengyao was unaware of this.

"Tang Yixuan is marrying someone else?"

"We broke up!"

Hearing this, everyone at the banquet turned to Chu Tianyang in surprise.

Everybody knew that he owed all he had to clinging to the Tang Family’s coattails.

The respect he was given now was only because of the Tang Family’s face.

Otherwise, who would look up to someone like him?

Even his lackeys were stunned.

They thought he had come back to woo Ning Mengyao.

But now, it seemed he might have been swept out by the Tang Family.

"What do you know? That’s just a publicity stunt by the rich to hype up stock prices, a fake marriage for business. This kind of ploy isn’t new. To survive in this circle, you’ve got to accept some unspoken rules. As for my thing with Tang Yixuan, it’s none of your business. If I really had broken up, do you think you’d be qualified to dine here at Tianxiang Pavilion?"

Chu Tianyang was spouting nonsense, making it hard to discern the truth.

After all, Tang Yixuan’s family circumstances were nothing short of exceptional.

The life of the rich isn’t something everyone can understand.

"Oh, so you’re throwing around money like it’s nothing because you’re using the Tang Family’s resources, right? By that logic, you’re the pampered one tucked away in a golden house," said Lin Fan with a mischievous grin.

He had grown tired of exposing the truth that Chu had been kicked to the curb.

After all, some things are too shocking to hear.

"Don’t talk nonsense. I made it on my own abilities. I’m a graduate from an Ivy League school, unlike you, who probably didn’t even attend university. Becoming an assistant just to climb the ladder of power, you have no real skill, yet you still show your face here so blatantly. What a disgrace! A real man should be doing great things, not taking shortcuts!" Chu Tianyang said sternly.

He had managed to bluff his way through his own issues.

Next, it was time to make Lin Fan lose face.

"Taking shortcuts isn’t appealing?"

Unexpectedly, Lin Fan leaned back nonchalantly in his chair,

draping his arm over Ning Mengyao’s shoulder.

His smug look instantly turned Chu Tianyang’s face an iron shade of blue.

This guy was shamelessly freeloading.

Not even bothering to pretend otherwise.

"That’s right, being a kept man must feel great. But women only like men with true abilities. A fling might bring temporary pleasure, but in the long run, you need someone who’s your equal and has real talent and knowledge," one of the lackeys blurted out, unable to bear the scene.

But Lin Fan simply laughed coldly, "Even if Tang Yixuan marries Shen Yuxiu, who’s well-matched in social and economic status, I bet she still has a special place in her heart for someone!"

"Hey, I told you, that marriage was a sham!"

Chu Tianyang, unexpectedly having the conversation steered back toward himself, slammed the table and roared in anger.

"But ours is real, and there are many types of kept men. Some end up with nothing, but others manage to rise to the top, like how I happen to be the second-largest shareholder of Ning Group, right?"

Lin Fan turned his head, looking at Ning Mengyao, who had been holding back her laughter.

"That’s right."

Although it was just a simple two-word reply,

it made everyone draw a sharp breath.

Ning Group was rising like the sun, and to be the second shareholder,

one’s net worth would easily amount to several billion.

No one could have expected that this kept man had gotten his hands on so much money.

This marriage was worth it.
