Chapter 2499 - 2550: Isn’t That Our Goddess?
Wan Chenyu seemed a bit excited talking about this, "Yes, meeting up with some old classmates today. Didn’t expect to see you here. Can Miss Gu come to our private room for a while? We’re all classmates after all."
"Oh, really?" Gu Mian raised an eyebrow.
"Yes, all former classmates." Wan Chenyu happily invited Gu Mian, "Can you come, Miss Gu?"
Gu Mian instinctively refused, "Better not, I have a guest."
Wan Chenyu seemed a bit displeased, speaking somewhat sourly, "Well, Miss Gu is now a busy person holding an important position and doesn’t pay much attention to old classmates."
Gu Mian: "..."
"What kind of words are those?" Gu Mian felt a bit embarrassed and said, "I’ll come over and say hello then."
"Great, let’s go!" Wan Chenyu became excited again.
Actually, Gu Mian didn’t socialize much with her college classmates because she was known as both a talented and wealthy woman at university.
Not only was her academic performance outstanding and out of reach, but her family was also very wealthy, so many classmates didn’t dare to get too close to her. She was considered the aloof goddess of their class.
However, that was in her youth, now she’s not so young anymore. Plus, classmates have entered society and gained experience and knowledge, so they’re not as restrained as they were in their youth.
For instance, in the past, Wan Chenyu wouldn’t dare speak much to Gu Mian, always feeling she was aloof, but now it’s different.
After all, he has navigated through the ups and downs of society and is much more diplomatic in dealing with people than during his student days. Besides, he’s now the mayor, considered to have seen the world.
Gu Mian followed Wan Chenyu to their private room and realized she didn’t recognize anyone.
However, the people at the table looked a bit surprised to see her, and after the surprise wore off, a few men stood up, wearing surprised expressions, and said, "Oh, isn’t this our goddess!"
Gu Mian looked at those faces that had aged quite a bit, unable to recognize anyone.
There were also a few women flamboyantly dressed, probably classmates too, but she truly didn’t recognize them.
"Hello, everyone." Although she didn’t recognize anyone, Gu Mian politely nodded and smiled in greeting.
"The goddess hasn’t changed a bit after all these years!"
"Still so beautiful!"
"Just like in school!"
The men laughed, looking quite different from their slim figures in their youth; all seemed a bit chubby, and Gu Mian couldn’t call out a single name, feeling utterly confused.
But this made her feel a bit embarrassed since she couldn’t recall anyone’s name, so she said, "Not at all, you’re flattering me. How can I compare to the school days? I ran into Mayor Wan in the restroom earlier, and he told me you were having a little gathering here. I’ve come to say hello. Enjoy your food and drinks; put it on my tab."
After Gu Mian finished speaking, she intended to politely excuse herself, but unexpectedly, these classmates quickly got excited.
"The goddess is so generous!"
"Goddess, you can’t leave so soon. Sit down and have a drink; we haven’t seen each other in years!"
"Yes, yes, come, have a seat."
A male classmate came over to pull her, and Gu Mian didn’t manage to dodge, ending up being pushed to sit down next to a chair.
