Chapter 654: Chapter 656: Lin Fei Wants to Leave, Faces Criticism

“Lin Fei, let’s go.”

Inside the luxurious dining room, upon seeing many former high school classmates following Lu Ping’s lead in trying to persuade Lin Fei to drink in exchange for a job, Qi Wenjie, already infuriated, immediately grabbed Lin Fei’s large hand, wanting to pull him away.

However, the woman failed to move Lin Fei.

“Lin Fei, what are you doing?! If you don’t leave, do you really want to listen to them and drink?!” Seeing that Lin Fei seemed to have no intention of leaving the luxurious dining room, Qi Wenjie, already enraged by the crowd’s heckling, even to the point of veiled mockery, became even more incensed, with anger visibly rising in her pretty eyes!

One could imagine that if Lin Fei had truly agreed to Hao Yongjun’s suggestion of drinking in exchange for a job and put it into action, Qi Wenjie, who was holding Lin Fei’s large hand, would most likely have slapped it across Lin Fei’s face in an instant.

“Lin Fei, I’m telling you! A moment of setback is nothing. But if you—”

“Where’s Youyou?”

“Hm?”

“I asked you, where’s Youyou?! Didn’t you say you wanted me to come here to meet Youyou?”

Hao Yongjun’s proposition of drinking in exchange for a job, together with Lu Ping and the others urging him to drink, and even Qi Wenjie’s seemingly lecturing, sharp reprimand, didn’t register with Lin Fei at all.

The reason he allowed Lu Ping to bring him to this luxurious dining room was that Lin Fei’s heart was completely entangled with his first love, the school beauty Xia Youyou. In short, to some extent, Lin Fei had temporarily lost his ability to think.

Although Lin Fei reminded himself countless times that he was already married, and besides Mu Shanshan, the icy CEO, he also had several close female confidantes. Given his current life situation, he shouldn’t be disturbing Xia Youyou anymore.

But just like Xia Youyou’s unrequited love for him throughout their school years, Lin Fei still hadn’t forgotten the warm memories of their high school days with Xia Youyou.

When it was time to meet Xia Youyou again, his first love and school beauty, hindered by the love lingering at the bottom of his heart for years, difficult to let go of or even impossible to discard, Lin Fei inevitably became distracted.

Especially after entering the luxurious dining room, all of Lin Fei’s attention focused on finding that graceful and beautiful figure that he’d harbored in his heart for years and couldn’t bear to touch.

This was also the main reason why Lin Fei unusually maintained his silence while Hao Yongjun, Lu Ping, and others spoke.

Now, after Ling Fei had searched the entire luxurious dining room without finding his first love, the school beauty Xia Youyou, he was finally able to collect his thoughts.

And after collecting his thoughts, Lin Fei’s first question was naturally to inquire about the whereabouts of his first love, the school beauty Xia Youyou.

“You still have a bit of conscience,” muttered Qi Wenjie, who had felt indignant, even furious and outraged because Lin Fei did not follow her. After hearing Lin Fei’s inquiry about Xia Youyou, she took a quiet breath of relief, then cast a slightly reproachful glance at Lin Fei, “I’ve been waiting for you for half a day. Youyou has already left. If you really want to see Youyou, come with me now.”

With that, Qi Wenjie once again grabbed Lin Fei’s large hand, ready to leave the luxurious dining room at a leisurely pace.

This time, hindered by the woman’s words, Lin Fei clearly understood the deep friendship between Qi Wenjie and Xia Youyou, the school beauties and first loves, and he didn’t have any intention of resisting.

Yet, Lin Fei intended to leave with Qi Wenjie. Hao Yongjun, however, had no intention of letting Lin Fei leave. Especially after hearing Qi Wenjie mention that Xia Youyou, the former school beauty, seemed to be attending the reunion just to wait for Lin Fei, a glint of murderous intent flashed through Hao Yongjun’s eyes.

“After so many years, Lin Fei, you have the rare opportunity to attend our class reunion. If you just walk away like this, isn’t that taking our classmates for granted?”

In high school, the reason Hao Yongjun had such an unpleasant relationship with Lin Fei was partly because he couldn’t control Lin Fei as the class president. More importantly, it was because of Xia Youyou, the former school beauty.

Everyone has a desire for beauty, and back in high school, Hao Yongjun had intended to compete with Lin Fei for Xia Youyou’s affection. After his failure, it undoubtedly intensified his negative feelings towards Lin Fei.

Now, as his status had grown over the years, Hao Yongjun had not hesitated to court women through various means. He himself was already engaged and his wedding date was approaching.

However, catching a glimpse of Xia Youyou’s beauty, which seemed even more refined than in high school, inevitably aroused thoughts of pursuing her in Hao Yongjun’s heart.

This led to the moment before Lin Fei arrived at the luxurious dining private room, when Hao Yongjun, relying on his status, wanted to express his love to Xia Youyou, but was utterly ignored by her, the former school beauty.

Over the years, Hao Yongjun had managed to woo almost any woman he set his sights on thanks to his status. However, when he declared his love, Xia Youyou simply stood up and left, which, to some extent, wounded Hao Yongjun’s pride.

Now, hearing what Qi Wenjie said, it seemed as if she wanted to take Lin Fei to find Xia Youyou. In Hao Yongjun’s eyes, this was undoubtedly a sign that Lin Fei and Xia Youyou were about to rekindle their old flame.

Thinking about Xia Youyou’s previous disregard for him in the luxurious dining private room, and Lin Fei’s “security guard” status at the time, a sense of humiliation slowly grew in Hao Yongjun’s heart.

Therefore, Hao Yongjun took the initiative to accuse Lin Fei of disregarding the friendship of their classmates and in secret, he didn’t forget to give Lu Ping a look, signaling him to help stop Lin Fei!

Bang!

Upon receiving Hao Yongjun’s signal, Lu Ping slammed the table and bellowed at Lin Fei, “Lin Fei, what do you mean! Do you know what occasion this is today? Mr. Hao, to preserve the friendship among our classmates and prevent it from fading, has spared no expense in organizing today’s reunion. But you, not only did you come late! Mr. Hao, with regards to the past, wanted to give you an opportunity to turn your fortunes around! It’s bad enough you didn’t cherish it, but you’ve only just arrived and you’re already thinking about turning around and leaving! Lin Fei, do you even consider us old classmates at all?!”

“Yeah, Lin Fei, that’s out of line!”

“It’s rare that Mr. Hao gives you face, how can you just up and leave like that?!”

“Lin Fei, know the times. You should be clear about what your status is now! A security guard, if it wasn’t for today’s reunion, how could you possibly get a word in with our Mr. Hao!”

…

After Lu Ping had spoken, more and more people joined in to blame Lin Fei.

And just as the people inside the luxurious private dining room, under the instigation of Hao Yongjun and the rallying of Lu Ping, continued to criticize Lin Fei.

The door to the private room suddenly opened.

A young, slender, and graceful figure, accompanied by several executives from the Four Seasons Hotel, casually walked into the luxurious private dining room…
