C Zone was on the second floor of the building. Zhang Jun and Lin Xian were picking stones together. In fact, Lin Xian was quite good at evaluating rough stones. The stones she noticed as they walked around were all good qualities.
Zhang Jun was about to pick up a stone when he heard a voice behind him,
“Zhang Jun!”
Zhang Jun turned around and saw a young couple standing there arm in arm. The man was 1.8 meters tall with long hair. He had a mocking look on his face.
The good-looking woman was slender, wearing a pink qi-pao dress. She had pointy, lovely face that’s covered by make-up, which made her look gaudy.
The sight of these two irritated Zhang Jun tremendously, because they were the organizers of his class reunion, Ye Qian and Chen Fusheng.
He remembered the time when he confessed his feelings towards Ye Qian.
Inside a garden on the Donghai University campus, Zhang Jun held a bouquet of roses and told her sheepishly, “Ye Qian, I like you!”
He did not expect Ye Qian’s reaction. She grimaced like she was insulted and answered coldly. “You? I’m way out of your league.”
Zhang Jun’s grades and his looks were both pretty good at that time, so he never expected she would belittle him. He stood there absolutely dumbfounded.
He studied in the same class as Ye Qian. Their seats were close to each other. Ye Qian would ask him questions some times. They would talk about things and even crack a few sexual jokes every now and then. He thought it was the perfect time to confess his feelings, but he was wrong.
Ye Qian asked in scorn, “Do you own properties in Donghai?”
Zhang Jun felt embarrassed. “No.”
“Can your family buy you a house in Donghai?” she pursued.
“No.”
Zhang Jun clenched his fists. Apartments in Donghai, a first-tier city, would cost a couple million. There was no way his family from a small town could afford it.
Ye Qian’s face was already filled with contempt. “A young man named Chen Fusheng wants to be with me. His family owns 12 properties and 2 companies worth more than a hundred thousand in Donghai. His father is the head of a district. His mother works as a deputy of the procuratorate. His brother-in-law, the boss of a listed company. He’s 1.8 meters tall, looks smart and cares about me. A few days ago, he bought me a 38-thousand-yuan purse. Tell me, if you’re in my shoes, which one would you choose?”
Zhang Jun’s pride took a heavy blow. He couldn’t speak for some time. Finally, he came to his sense. “Ye Qian, I like you, it’s that simple. I’m not talking about marriage, why are you acting like this?”
Ye Qian answered, “Zhang Jun, I’m going to be very blunt. My mom told me since I was small, that if poor men like you try to pursue me, I need to reject them right away. Otherwise you’ll ruin my life.”
She lifted her chin like a spoiled princess. “I know I’m pretty. Appearance is the same as money. It’s an asset, and I have to make good use of it, and get myself the best I can.”
He did not expect the beautiful Ye Qian to be such a snobbish woman who disregarded others’ feelings and dignity.
He knew at that moment what kind of woman she was. He could understand her thoughts and why she thought that way. After all, it’s her life. It’s just that this woman was so fucking rude and she hurt people.
He took a deep breath and tossed the flowers into a trashcan. He looked at Ye Qian and said, “My hometown has an old saying, ‘Don’t look down on a poor youth.’ Young people have time and energy. I’m not born in money or power, but I can earn them. Thanks for being blunt. I don’t want to waste my precious youth on women like you.”
Having said that he turned and left. Ye Qian felt offended by his quick turnaround. She screamed at his back, “Zhang Jun, you will never catch up with Chen Fusheng!”
The past caught up to him and he was conflicted.
Ye Qian told Chen Fusheng about this incident, so when they were still in school Chen Fusheng kept an eye on Zhang Jun. He knew what Zhang Jun looked like. He saw Zhang Jun’s back and thought it looked familiar -that’s why he called.
Ye Qian was already engaged with Chen Fusheng. When she saw her classmate not doing so great, she got a sense of superiority and smirked. “Hi, Zhang Jun. You’re here early! I didn’t see you at the hotel we booked for you.
“Thanks, but I already have a place to stay.” Zhang Jun answered curtly.
“Oh my, you don’t have to be so shy. We were classmates after all.” She then took out her wallet and asked, “Did you bring your ticket? I can pay for it. Your home is pretty far away, and the ticket must be so expensive.”
Zhang Jun got very angry. He had intended to take advantage of this situation, but her tone in such setting felt like an insult.
He said coldly, “It’s just a train ticket. I can afford it! Thank you for being so generous!”
His answer irked Ye Qian. This lad didn’t know how to behave! She was just about to say something nasty when Lin Xian came over.
She held a rough stone in her and called Zhang Jun from afar. “Zhang Jun! What do you think of this one?”
She noticed Chen Fusheng and Ye Qian when she got closer. “Zhang Jun, your friends?”
Lin Xian also wore a qi-pao dress. Her slender body, her elegance and her lovely face outshone Ye Qian instantly. It was like the difference between a phoenix and a chicken.
Chen Fusheng’s eyes glowed as he reached out to shake Lin Xian’s hands. “Hi! I’m Chen Fusheng, Zhang Jun’s classmate.”
Lin Xian smiled at him, but before she could say a word Zhang Jun stuck out his hand and shook Chen Fusheng’s hand very hard. “Hello, Chen Fusheng. Long time no see. Allow me to introduce my friend Lin Xian.”
“Lin Xian?” Chen Fusheng didn’t like this interruption as he was trying to get in touch with this gorgeous lady, but he remembered that name the moment he heard it.
