Chapter 154: Chapter 154 Class Reunion

Speaking of Zhang Gui, Chen Dashan felt grateful in his heart.

Back then, when Zhao Qiqiang had crippled him, Zhang Gui had come to his house with some money. Although it wasn’t a lot, Chen Dashan remembered this kindness.

After all, Zhang Gui’s family wasn’t wealthy either. Helping in an emergency was all he could manage.

Seeing Zhang Gui scratching his head in embarrassment, Chen Dashan changed the subject, "Why did you buy so much fruit?"

Seeing the two large bags of peaches in his hands, Chen Dashan was puzzled.

Zhang Gui laughed, "Isn’t there a class reunion today? I haven’t been doing well, and every year I’m ridiculed. So I wanted to bring something rare to show off a bit."

Zhang Gui hefted the bags, a blush appearing on his honest face.

"Class reunion?"

Chen Dashan frowned, recalling his high school days. Back then, he was a top student and the only one from his village to attend a prestigious high school, but his time at school wasn’t happy.

Coming from a rural area and a poor family, he was often mocked by his classmates.

Especially Wu Tian, whose family ran a small business. He often led the others in ostracizing him.

Seeing Chen Dashan deep in thought, Zhang Gui’s eyes lit up, "That’s right, Dashan. You’re doing well now and have money. Why not come to the class reunion with me?"

"We were closest, and it would give me some face."

Zhang Gui was very excited, as if he already saw the envious looks of their classmates, making him feel extremely pleased.

"Alright then!"

Seeing Zhang Gui’s enthusiastic invitation, Chen Dashan didn’t refuse. They agreed on a time, and Chen Dashan told him to come to the fruit store around five in the afternoon so they could go together.

...

At five in the afternoon, in front of Chen’s Fruit Store.

Zhang Gui held a large bag of fruit, waving from afar to Chen Dashan.

Seeing him panting and sweating profusely, Chen Dashan smiled, "Put your stuff in the car first!"

After speaking, Chen Dashan pressed the key in his hand, and the scissor doors of the bright red Ferrari parked in front of the store slowly rose.

Zhang Gui was stunned, his mouth agape, "Da...Dashan, is this your car?"

He had guessed that Chen Dashan was wealthy but hadn’t expected him to be this rich.

This kind of car must cost at least over two million, right? There wasn’t a second one like it in all of Furong County. To attend the class reunion, Chen Dashan had Liu Qianqian drive the sports car to show off.

The bright red color and being a sports car made it clear it was valuable.

"Yes!"

Chen Dashan got in first, while Zhang Gui, filled with joy, touched this and that, muttering to himself, "Let’s see if those bastards still dare to say anything."

"Look down on rural people? Just see if they can even compare."

They chatted about high school fun and the recent lives of their classmates during the drive. In about twenty minutes, the sports car stopped at a five-star hotel in the county seat.

"That’s Li Cheng, who now runs a small restaurant!"

"Over there is Sun Lili, working as an accountant in a company..."

"And that one..."

"The one with the best air is Fei Wan..."

Zhang Gui was halfway through his sentence when he realized something was wrong. He knew about the incident between Chen Dashan and Fei Wan back then—Chen Dashan had a crush on Fei Wan and was humiliated when he confessed, which had been a significant blow to him.

"The class belle is still as pretty as ever."

Chen Dashan smiled as if he couldn’t recall the grudge between them.

Zhang Gui laughed, "She and Wu Tian got married, inherited the family business, and have been doing very well. They’re the most successful among our classmates."

Chen Dashan nodded.

The roar of the sports car quickly attracted the attention of the chatting crowd at the entrance.

"A Ferrari?"

"That car must be worth over two million, right?"

"This hotel is really upscale. Whoever comes here must be rich or noble. We’re lucky to have Wu Tian and Fei Wan’s connections today!"

"Yes, if not for them, we wouldn’t have come to such a nice place."

...

A dozen classmates surrounded Wu Tian and Fei Wan, showering them with praise.

Fei Wan held her head high, expressionless, like a proud peacock, with beautiful eyes heatedly fixated on the red sports car. This was something she had always wanted but was too expensive even to dream of now.

Wu Tian, with a smug expression, looked at the Maserati in front and said, "This car isn’t that expensive. A friend of mine also has one."

Fei Wan, seeing Wu Tian’s proud look, knew he was bragging but said nothing.

As everyone gathered, ready to go in.

"Wait!"

"Wait for us!"

A hurried male voice came from behind. Everyone turned to see the scissor doors of the bright red Maserati slowly rising. Zhang Gui eagerly stepped out half-way, waving to everyone.

"Zhang Gui?"

Everyone’s face showed shock, stopping in their tracks as they looked at Zhang Gui.

Someone shouted, "Zhang Gui, whose car are you in?"

"Didn’t you just come to show off for the class reunion?"

"You have to have the standing to show off. Everyone knows your job is unstable."

Zhang Gui, speechless, carrying two large bags of fruit, said, "What nonsense are you talking?"

"I’m in Chen Dashan’s car. Do you guys know who just arrived?"

Chen Dashan?

Everyone’s mind reeled. That name was all too familiar. He was the top student in the class, from the poorest family. The classmates envied his excellence but looked down on his family’s poverty.

He was a notable figure, but later they heard he was crippled before finishing college.

As everyone was reminiscing, Chen Dashan got out of the car, tall and lean, with a sunny, handsome face, and an indefinable aura that commanded awe.

Upon his appearance, he immediately attracted Fei Wan’s attention.

Back then, Chen Dashan was her faithful admirer. Now, seeing him successful, she thought if she had chosen him, this red Maserati would be hers now.

Fei Wan remained calm while someone muttered, "It’s really Chen Dashan?"

"Wasn’t he crippled?"

"This guy made it big? He even drives a luxury car now. Truly deserving of being a top student."

Zhang Gui, feeling proud, carried the fruit, laughing, "Dashan is now in big business..."

Before he could finish, Wu Tian, standing in the middle of the crowd, sneered, "An ignorant country bumpkin, with no background and no money, what kind of big business could he possibly be doing in such a short time?"

The classmates’ chatter abruptly ceased.

Everyone exchanged glances. They all knew about the feud between Wu Tian and Chen Dashan.

Seeing the spotlight on Chen Dashan and everyone flattering him, Wu Tian felt uneasy and sarcastically remarked, "This car must be rented, right? There’s a new dealership in our county with promotions on Maseratis and Porsches, renting them for a thousand a day."

Wu Tian spoke convincingly, even naming the dealership, making everyone shift their gaze from admiration to scrutiny towards Chen Dashan.

A bunch of opportunists.

Chen Dashan smiled faintly, not taking these people seriously at all.

Someone said, "Chen Dashan, it’s thanks to Wu Tian that we get to enjoy such a nice hotel today."
