She and Ye Ning letter
The air conditioning in the private room made Tang Jiji feel a bit chilly, while Coral and Lian Min sat casually on one corner of the sofa, holding their wine glasses with unique postures. It had only been a few days since they last met, but their demeanor seemed to have become even more mature and elegant.
No longer the spoiled and pampered rich girl, everyone has changed in just a few days. The private room was filled with many high school classmates who had just graduated, Tang Jiji no longer liked attending this kind of gathering.
"Tang Jiji, sit down, it's been a while since we last saw each other, you're getting prettier and prettier." One of the boys pulled her down with ill intentions, pouring wine for her with a flattering smile.
"I'm not feeling well, so I won't drink." Táng Jìjì pushed away the unpleasant face of that boy and stood up, looking at Coral and Lián Mǐn: "I don't care if this is a so-called class reunion or not, but I'm not interested. What exactly did you call me here to say?"
Coral put down his wine glass, "Don't be in a hurry, Tang Jiji, didn't you used to love gathering at places like this? Today's the rare chance for everyone to get together and have some fun before talking business. Don't worry, both Lian Min and I have something to say to you." As he spoke, Coral glanced meaningfully at Lian Min sitting beside him.
Lian Min was unusually quiet tonight, her small face like a goose egg had lost some weight, and there was a hint of sadness in her big eyes, but she kept drinking alone.
Tang Jiji heard this and calmly said, "That was in the past." She used to like going to bars and singing KTV, but now she no longer has the same mindset as before, nor does she have the same financial resources.
"Of course, Coral, have you forgotten? The Tang family isn't bankrupt or something? And didn't her brother just pass away not long ago? Who has the mood to go out and play? When going out to play, they might not even have enough money for a cup of wine." Another girl sitting next to Coral suddenly spoke up, her tone sharp and piercing.
Everyone present suddenly turned their heads to look at Tang Jiji, some were unaware, while others had already known but kept it secret. They showed a mixture of sympathy, disdain, contempt, and schadenfreude, but most of all, they showed sympathy.
Tang Jiji remained silent, still sitting upright with her back straight, the atmosphere suddenly becoming somewhat awkward. After all, there were many boys in the room who had a crush on Tang Jiji, and several girls couldn't help but glance at her with schadenfreude.
As expected, Coral deliberately made Tang Jiji uncomfortable.
However, Coral is a queen of aura, and she can always turn the whole scene high wherever she goes. She said slowly, "Tang Jiji, since you don't want to party or play games, why don't we all sit down and have a chat?"
"Really... Hey, by the way, which university did you end up going to this time?" A few boys started chatting on and off.
"Never mind, I told my dad not to send me to that school. You have no idea, the number of beauties in that school is as rare as national endangered species!"
"Haha... You didn't take the college entrance exam and your dad still sent you to a key university, that's already pretty good... Don't be arrogant, I'll introduce some beautiful girls to you later..."
The atmosphere was no longer awkward, and everyone chatted about their university plans after the college entrance exam. Coral naturally wouldn't let Tang Jiji off the hook, so she deliberately asked: "Tang Jiji, I remember your grades were excellent, and you were the only one in our class who was guaranteed a spot to study in Germany, shouldn't you have gone there for early registration by now? Why are you still in Nanjing?"
Tang Jiji was about to explain that he had been delayed due to some matters, when Coral stroked her curly hair and said with a hint of amusement: "Could it be that you're like Ye Ningxin, who was originally supposed to be exempt from the exam but was replaced by someone else because your family's status wasn't good enough?"
