Chapter 228 228: Human Nature Is as Cold and Thin as Snow
Jiang Chuan's arm was itching to move; he was about to raise his hand and give this hateful woman a big slap when Li Sheng quickly stepped in to mediate.
Li Sheng was really a decent person, worthy of being a former class monitor.
He hurriedly grabbed Wang Meili, earnestly persuading her, "Meili, let it go. We're all old classmates, why be like this? Besides, they've already come in, even if they sneaked in, let's just drop it."
Li Sheng painstakingly persuaded for quite a while, and a few other decent classmates joined in to urge, only then did Wang Meili back down.
"Hmph! Fine, on account of a few old classmates, I'll let this matter go!"
"Since you're here, join the party! Hmph, we have so many people here, no one was waiting for you!"
Li Sheng quickly smiled and invited Qiu Qianyu, Jiang Chuan, and Liu Juan, "Come on, come on, everyone is waiting for you."
The atmosphere became harmonious again. After all, everyone was here to have a good time and didn't want things to turn sour.
Everyone took their seats, and Li Sheng was the first to raise his glass.
Li Sheng was, after all, the former class monitor, with high authority.
He raised his glass, smiled, and looked at all the classmates saying, "Dear old classmates, today, we're lucky to gather again, let's toast to this reunion!"
Everyone raised their glasses, and the mood was harmonious.
Li Sheng quickly raised his second glass.
This glass, he held high towards Wang Meili and Qian Sheng, saying loudly, "This second glass, let's toast to Meili and her boyfriend, Mr. Qian! What do you say?"
"Alright!"
"Meili, we toast to you, if it weren't for you, we wouldn't have had the fortune to come to a place like Heaven on Earth, we couldn't even have gotten invitations!"
"Yeah, we owe it all to you, Meili, let's toast to you!"
Everyone again raised their glasses, toasting Wang Meili and Qian Sheng.
After all, it was she who hosted this party, and coming to a place like Heaven on Earth was no small expense. Many people, in their lifetime, never have the chance to come to such a top-notch club.
Wang Meili, feeling proud, drank up the wine in her glass in one go, and intentionally shot a glance at Qiu Qianyu, saying contemptuously, "Thanks to the class monitor, thanks to all the classmates. Actually, it's nothing, for our family Qian Sheng, coming here is as easy as it gets."
"In the future, if any classmate wants to hold a banquet or something like that, just speak up!"
"Thanks, Meili, thanks, Young Master Qian! Young Master Qian is truly outstanding at such a young age, already holding a key position in the family business, with a limitless future ahead!"
Everyone was effusive in their praise, and the atmosphere at the scene got even livelier.
Qian Sheng too was extremely pleased, looking down from a high position at Jiang Chuan sitting opposite, feeling superior beyond words. He deliberately mocked, "All the classmates are really too kind! My minor achievements are nothing to brag about, but certainly better than some farmers working the fields!"
Wang Meili immediately picked up the thread, "Darling, why compare with a farmer? That's beneath you, isn't it?"
"Right, right! Why should I compare with him? Is he even qualified to be compared with me? Hahaha!"
Young Master Qian laughed wildly, his gaze fixed on Jiang Chuan.
The classmates, of course, knew well what was happening but couldn't really say anything.
Qiu Qianyu's pretty face flushed red, her heart felt deeply hurt as if stabbed.
But, what could she do besides endure it?
After all, there was some truth to what they were saying.
Li Sheng saw it all, sighed, and felt a headache from such a class reunion.
"Uh, since we've pretty much finished drinking, let's start eating. Meili, you've really gone all out today, look at all the delicious food on the table!"
Li Sheng laughed and stood up, once again smoothing things over.
Wang Meili nodded, saying not without conceit, "Considering how hard it is for everyone to come to such an upscale place like Heaven on Earth, I ordered a lot of good food for everyone, so enjoy to your heart's content!"
"Eat! Eat!"
Despite the words being somewhat harsh, many people didn't care.
After all, dignity is important, but filling one's belly is even more so.
Especially faced with this grand feast, many couldn't wait to dig in.
After all, lobsters, abalone, shark fin, many people never had the chance to taste these.
The banquet started immediately; amid the flattery and praise, Qian Sheng and Wang Meili felt extremely pleased!
Especially Wang Meili, her chest held high, her gaze constantly sweeping over Qiu Qianyu, stepping all over her in her heart, she was already extremely satisfied.
Just then, the door of the private room was gently knocked, followed by a respectful voice outside.
