The phone call was from Li Mingxue.
The phone call was to inform Chen Hao about their high school gathering at noon.
She reminded him about the occasion and informed Chen Hao to head over earlier.
Three days had passed since the meal at Midu Restaurant.
Qin Ya had left for three days already.
Li Mingxue informed him about the gathering yesterday. She said that after today, everyone would be heading toward their internships and jobs.
As such, a gathering should be held when many of their classmates were still available to meet up.
At first, Chen Hao had no intentions of going. However, he did not expect to bump into Li Mengxue and the rest. Yesterday, Chen Hao went to the opening ceremony of the investment firm he founded. Just as he was about to leave after cutting the ribbon, he bumped into them who had come to join in the celebration.
Other than that, there was another high school classmate present. She was Jiang Xueqing.
Jiang Xueqing was their class deputy monitor and was definitely one of the prettiest girls in class. She had excellent academic results and like Li Shihan, she had always been rather close with Chen Hao who had stellar academic results as well.
Chen Hao heard that Jiang Xueqing had returned to Ping An County to further advance her career and she had managed to land a job with decent benefits.
She saw Chen Hao and felt rather homely to see someone familiar thus she sincerely invited Chen Hao over.
Chen Hao could not turn her down therefore he agreed to attend the gathering.
Right after he hung up, Chen Hao saw a notification from his QQ. The message was sent by Jiang Xueqing.
“Hehe, Chen Hao, when are you planning to go?”
Chen Hao knew that Jiang Xueqing’s home was in Ping An County and was not far from the hotel that Chen Hao stayed in.
Yesterday when they bumped into each other, Chen Hao had jokingly said that they should head over to the gathering together on the following day.
Jiang Xueqing actually smiled and agreed.
“Give me a minute!” Chen Hao replied.
“Alright, take your time. I still have to spend about forty minutes washing my hair. See you later at the bus stop on Xiao Ping Street!”
“No problem!”
In the past when Jiang Xueqing was the deputy monitor, she was the type of girl that was polite and quiet. She rarely spoke in class.
She was merely enthusiastic about learning and only enjoyed hanging out with classmates who loved studying as well.
As such, Jiang Xueqing disliked speaking to classmates that were naughty and disobedient such as Li Chao who came from a powerful family background as well as Li Wenyang who was the wealthiest in class.
However, when Chen Hao bumped into her yesterday, he felt that she had undergone a huge change in her personality.
She had become a lot more cheerful and mature. She was also very good at cracking jokes with others.
Sigh! Maybe girls that went through the harshness of society would always undergo some changes.
On a side note, it was important to know there was a period of time during the start of sophomore year when he was rather intimate with Jiang Xueqing.
It was not that Chen Hao was exceptionally attractive!
Rather, Chen Hao looked rather delicate and elegant back then. It was also mainly due to the fact that he was honest and had stellar results. Coupled with the fact that he was a good listener to the girls, eventually some intimacy formed between them.
However this intimacy with Jiang Xueqiang only lasted for a while and it disappeared not long after.
By then, Chen Hao was done getting ready.
Thus, he picked up his car keys and drove his G Wagon over to the bus stop on Xiao Ping Street.
He drove that car because there was no longer any need for him to be low profile as he was no longer in college.
Furthermore, Chen Hao did not drive such a luxurious car over to show off but instead he merely needed a vehicle.
After all, Li Sihan and Chen Lin might also attend the gathering. Even though they had no idea about his actual identity, they had always thought that he was rich. So Chen Hao did not think too much about it.
When he arrived, it was still half an hour earlier than the stipulated meeting time.
Thus, Chen Hao drove over and parked his car in a nearby parking lot.
He went to a bubble tea shop and bought two cups of bubble tea. Then, he headed over to the bus stop and waited for Jiang Xueqing’s arrival.
“Chen Hao?
Just then, a girl standing next to the bus stop called out Chen Hao’s name.
Chen Hao turned his head around.
“What are you looking at? I did not expect you to turn up to this high school gathering! Come to think of it, we have not seen each other for a couple of years!”
Wang Rui rolled her eyes at Chen Hao with her arms crossed.
Chen Hao smiled and said, “Yes, we have not seen each other for a couple of years. The both of you got together?”
Wang Rui snorted and said, “So what if the both of us are together? You have no idea how much Tycoon loves me. Furthermore, he already owns a few stores in the county!”
Wang Rui talked a lot, and he was unsure if she was bragging about it.
Wang Rui crossed her arms and was even more elated when she saw that Chen Hao stayed silent without a word.
She could tell that Chen Hao was a little shocked that she got together with Tycoon.
Chen Hao was also a little jealous.
It was not a matter of whether Chen Hao liked Wang Rui but rather how different their lives have turned out to be. Both Chen Hao and Tycoon were losers and yet Tycoon had such a beautiful girlfriend whereas Chen Hao remained a loser.
Anyone would feel uncomfortable about the situation as well!
Wang Rui enjoyed seeing Chen Hao’s discomfort.
Chen Hao gave a bitter smile and shook his head. He said, “Let's head over together when Jiang Xueqing gets here!”
Wang Rui snorted and said, “There is no way we are going to take the bus. We are waiting here for someone else. Yang Jian and the rest will come by and pick us up! Tycoon’s hasn’t gotten his license yet, or we’d have bought a car long ago.”
“Alright then!”
Chen Hao had no idea how else to reply to her. Thus, he ended up exchanging small talk with Tycoon and Wang Rui.
As time went by, Chen Hao eventually heard a girl calling out his name.
Chen Hao lifted his head and saw a girl by the roadside. A tall and slender girl with long curly red hair that draped over her shoulders. She was also holding up a small umbrella.
With her arrival, many other guys who were waiting for the bus at the bus stop shifted their gaze towards her.
With her looks, figure and temperament, it was more than enough to capture the attention of all the guys in the vicinity.
Many guys had their eyes glued to her and were checking her out.
That girl was none other than Jiang Xueqing.
