Chapter 355 - 355 225 What is it like to be caught showing
?Chapter 355: Chapter 225: What is it like to be caught showing off? _2 Chapter 355: Chapter 225: What is it like to be caught showing off? _2 Lin Muxue smiled faintly and nodded gently, “Long time no see.”
Then she said something to the driver in the driver’s seat, opened the car door, and stepped out.
Seeing the expressions on her old classmates’ faces, she really couldn’t help herself.
The place was only about 100 meters away from Cofo Bistro, so she could just walk there and catch up with old classmates on the way.
“Click—” The car door was gently pushed open, and Lin Muxue’s elegant legs sheathed in silk stockings stepped onto the ground as she gracefully stood up.
The breeze fluttered her skirt and hair, and with her pretty face slightly raised, her gaze swept over them calmly, “It’s been more than two years, and you guys seem to have hardly changed at all. Jingsi, you’re quite sentimental, still using a Prada bag.”
While speaking, she flipped her wavy hair and draped her Hermes Birkin over her forearm.
[Come on! The three of you, all at once! I’m in a hurry!]
[Who wants to meet you at the peak! I want you to look up at me from the bottom of the mountain!]
A piercing honk sounded on the road.
Cao Jingsi opened her mouth but couldn’t utter a single word.
Her heart seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible hand, each beat filled with tension and unease.
She felt as though she had suffered a ten-thousand-point attack, entering into a critical state.
Her family conditions were quite good, and now working as a flight attendant, her daily life was also colorful, occasionally affording luxury goods.
But she was still within the realm of ordinary people; top luxury brands like Hermes and Bentley were beyond her reach.
Witnessing Lin Muxue descend from the luxury car in high-end attire, jealousy and inferiority swelled within her.
“Muxue, you’ve changed so much,” Wang Mei said, swallowing hard with envy on her face.
“Heh, it’s okay, I’ve had a pretty good time since graduation,” Lin Muxue glanced at her wristwatch and said, “Let’s go, let’s go to the tavern and chat while we drink.”
After saying that, she gave the three another glance and headed towards the entrance of the Somekh Building.
Li Xinyi and the others exchanged glances, their eyes flickering, lips pressed tightly.
From the look of things today, Lin Muxue seemed to have really made it.
…
Entering the Cofo Bistro on the second floor of the Somekh Building.
The sound of folk songs lingered in the air, and dim lights filtered through the exquisite glass lampshades.
The decoration was exquisite, the whole tavern was filled with a relaxed atmosphere.
The place was crowded, mostly with office workers coming here to decompress and chat.
Taking a deep breath, Li Xinyi led them to a seat by the window.
Next to it was a small balcony where one could directly appreciate the hybrid architectural style outside the Somekh Building.
After admiring the surroundings for a while, they ordered a few bottles of wine and some dishes.
Li Xinyi pointed at a guy singing in the bar and said with some pride, “That’s my friend, Xing, an independent musician and one of the partners of this place, so we could reserve such a good spot on a Saturday night.”
Her status as a business-class flight attendant meant she had access to higher circles.
This Xing was one of them, a minor singer who had released albums and had asked for her WeChat of his own accord.
Cao Jingsi and Wang Mei offered a couple of flattering remarks.
Lin Muxue leaned back in her chair and said with a smile, “Xing? Never heard of him, but I did attend the opening ceremony of the Shanghai International Film Festival yesterday, and I ran into some singers there, sitting right next to me.”
Then, she opened a selfie on her phone, showing her at the scene of the Golden Goblet Ceremony with a few familiar faces around.
Wang Mei covered her mouth and exclaimed two names; both were third-tier celebrities with not-so-low fame.
Li Xinyi and Cao Jingsi’s eyes widened; the photo didn’t look photoshopped at all.
They naturally knew about the Golden Goblet Ceremony, as yesterday’s trending searches were all about “Su Yu.”
They hadn’t expected that their college classmate was actually at the event!
After showing off a bit about her experience at the Hermes fashion show, the drinks and dishes they had ordered were served by the waiter.
Wang Mei, quick-witted, stood up with a bottle in hand and said in a flattering tone, “Muxue, try this tea plum wine, it’s really good.”
She had had no conflicts with Lin Muxue during their university days and, seeing her old classmate’s newfound status, her first thought was to make a connection.
“Thank you,” Lin Muxue said with a slight nod, picked up the glass, and swirled it lightly before taking a small sip.
The liquor, blending the aromas of tea and plum, rolled over her tongue, sweet and refreshing; it was indeed delicious.
Watching her old classmates’ gradually changing attitudes, she took out her phone, snapped a few photos, and shared them on her social media.
The caption read: “Gathering with college friends at the tavern, reminiscing about the past.”
In the past, to avoid being exposed as a fake socialite, she would block these old classmates from her social media.
This time, she selected more groups to share with, making the post visible to most of her friends.
Putting down her phone, Lin Muxue sipped the plum wine while inquiring about other classmates’ current situations.
In the flight attendant program, most were women, with men making up only one-tenth.
Because of some awkward and embarrassing experiences before, Lin Muxue rarely chatted with these classmates, so she didn’t know much about their affairs.
…
East River Food Stall.
“Ding~” Beer bottles clinked together.
Tang Song tilted his head back and “glug-glug-glug” finished a bottle of beer.
After the ordeal of taking Alcohol Resistance Potion, Tang Song found that drinking beer hardly made him drunk; it was almost like drinking a soft drink.
But Li Zhixi across from him was clearly a little tipsy, his face flushed, and he said with a beaming smile, “You guys might not know, but back when I was in school, I really liked Qiu Yu, since both our families are from Su Province. The reason I was able to switch jobs to her company was also that I kept in touch with her.”
