Going home for Chinese New Year, I squeezed onto a bus with three energetic young women.

The moment Zhang Yan said that, the atmosphere in the private room instantly changed.

The students, who were initially amazed by Bai Li's good looks, began to have subtle changes in their expressions.

Yes, these days there are plenty of people who try to appear more important than they are.

Didn't the news a while ago report about some "group-buying socialites"? The kind where dozens of people pool their money to take photos with one pair of stockings.

Bai Li's outfit looks expensive, but everyone knows what his family's financial situation was like when he was in high school; his parents were just ordinary workers.

How did you manage to achieve this level of success in just a few years?

"Fuck you, Brother Li would never do such a thing." Wang Wei started cursing directly, but amidst a chorus of doubts, he seemed somewhat outnumbered and powerless.

"Hehe, these days it's not about who's pretty or handsome that matters," a bespectacled male student began to show off.

"Spending so much money on clothes... is not worth it at all. You might as well buy a car or a house."

"Exactly, I think it's not worth it either," another female classmate chimed in, her tone dripping with sarcasm.

"Spending so much money on clothes is just for appearances. We're almost thirty now, we need to be practical."

Some classmates said, "Shut up, I think Zhao Gang might not even be as successful as him."

Hearing the praise from everyone, Zhao Gang straightened his back again.

He deliberately tossed the Audi car key into the middle of the table, as if afraid others wouldn't know he drove an Audi.

"Well, the students are right after all," Zhao Gang waved his hand, but his face betrayed an undisguised smugness.

"When it comes to men, it all comes down to their assets. No matter how well-dressed you are, if you're taking the bus, it's a joke."

He glanced at Bai Li sideways, his expression full of provocation.

Bai Li twirled the teacup in his hand, his expression indifferent, as if watching a monkey perform acrobatics.

But Li Mengmeng, who was next to him, was not happy.

"Zhao Gang, are you an idiot?" a soft, sweet voice rang out.

Li Mengmeng blinked her big eyes and pointed at Zhao Gang with an innocent expression:

"You seem like the type of person who buys into stocks, probably around 35 without exaggeration."

puff.

Wang Wei couldn't hold back and sprayed the water he had just drunk all over the floor.

Zhao Gang's face instantly turned a deep purplish-red; he hadn't expected this little girl to see right through him.

"You...whose kid are you?!" Zhao Gang, enraged, pointed at Li Mengmeng and yelled, "What right do you have to interrupt adults? This is a class reunion, who allowed family members and children to bring along?"

All eyes then turned to Li Mengmeng.

I was so focused on Bai Li and Zhang Qian just now, but now that I look closer, I see that many of the male students are staring wide-eyed.

This is too...too much torture!

Twin ponytails, white stockings, a JK skirt, and that delicately sculpted doll-like face.

The key point is that the size of her chest creates a striking contrast with her outfit, making it almost unbelievably large.

"Bai Li, this...this is your sister?" The bespectacled male student swallowed hard, his eyes turning somewhat lewd.

"This is so cute! If she were your sister, we'd definitely need to get closer. I could even be your brother-in-law, hehe."

"Yeah, Bai Li, this girl looks only sixteen or seventeen, right? It's one thing to bring a girlfriend, but why bring a minor along?"

Li Mengmeng rolled her eyes, took a lollipop out of her pocket and stuffed it into her mouth, her cheeks puffed out.

"Are you blind?" she mumbled, her eyes filled with disdain. "I'm Li Mengmeng."

"Li...Li Mengmeng?!"

These three words were like a bombshell, stunning everyone.

That guy who used to be the quietest kid in class?

That little follower who always wore a size too big school uniform, walked with his head down, and was bossed around by Xia Qing?

Li Mengmeng, whose presence was so low that no one even noticed her in the graduation photo?

All eyes darted back and forth between Li Mengmeng and the country bumpkin from their memories, trying to find some similarities.

Aside from not seeming to have grown much in height, everything else about him looks like a completely different person!

"Holy crap! You're Li Mengmeng?!" Wang Wei's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. "You...you've changed so much! Did you debut in Japan?"

"You've only just debuted!" Li Mengmeng glared at him, then kicked her Gucci shoes onto the table leg, revealing a sliver of her "absolute territory":

"They've just grown up, what's the big deal?"

Looking at Li Mengmeng now, Zhao Gang's burning passion instantly overwhelmed his anger.

This girl... she's absolutely stunning.

That innocent yet slightly seductive look of hers was enough to steal his soul.

He subconsciously licked his lips, his eyes turning lewd as he scanned Li Mengmeng's chest and legs.

"Oh, it's Mengmeng." Zhao Gang immediately changed his tune, his smile becoming incredibly greasy.

"Oh my, girls really do change a lot as they grow up. Come, come, sit here with me, I'll order you a big lobster."

"No need." Li Mengmeng shrank back behind Bai Li in disgust, as if avoiding something dirty.

"I have Bai Li, that's enough. Besides, you have bad breath, so stay away from me."

That was a fatal blow.

Zhao Gang's smile froze, and his face turned pale and then red.

Zhang Yan, who was standing next to her, couldn't bear to see her boyfriend get the short end of the stick, and she couldn't stand Li Mengmeng's seductive manner.

She snorted and turned her attention back to values.

Zhang Yan said sourly, "Mengmeng, I'm not trying to be mean, but you're so old and you still dress like this. What are you trying to do to look young? Besides, what kind of future can you have with Bai Li? You'll just be freeloading."

"Exactly," Zhao Gang chimed in, picking up the car keys again to save face.

"In today's society, what matters is strength."

"Bai Li, don't stay silent. We're all classmates, everyone knows each other, right?"

"You said your outfit is quite expensive, so what kind of car did you drive here? Or did you take a taxi? How about I give you guys a ride in my Audi after the party? Hahahaha!"

The surrounding classmates also joined in the commotion.

"Yes, Bai Li, Zhao Gang is a boss now. It's a blessing to ride in his car."

"Stop suffering for the sake of saving face. It's not shameful to admit that you're not doing so well."

Xia Qing sat in the corner, watching Bai Li being surrounded and attacked by the crowd. Her eyes lit up, and she felt that her chance to shine had come.

This is the legendary "beauty saves the hero" story!

If I stand up for Bai Li at this moment, Bai Li will definitely be moved to tears and then remember to rekindle our old feelings!

She stood up abruptly, straightened her clothes, and said loudly:

"Don't talk about Bai Li like that! He... he worked very hard too!"
