Upon hearing that, Little Qingchen looked daggers at Du Sisi with his huge pair of eyes. He was on the verge of an outburst.
As Helian Wei Wei witnessed this, she reached out her hand to grab Little Qingchen's ear. She then curved up her lips into a smile and took a glance at her classmates around her. "Speaking of this, to be honest, I fell for his appearance, or else, we would not have gotten into a relationship."
The surging fury emerging from Little Qingchen vanished immediately. His tiny head nodded along with the remark. I couldn't agree more on that point. Since I was born, pretty Wei Wei has always been praising our father for his handsome look. It has almost become my 'tightening-crown spell' since I was young. However, why is my brother not replying to my message? I'm still waiting to discuss it with him.
Helian Wei Wei's reply caused others to be at a loss for words. Several classmates laughed it off to make the ambiance less awkward. They teased in a friendly manner, "Wei Wei, are you serious? You don't look like someone who is captivated by beauty though."
"I have always judged others by their appearance." Helian Wei Wei's voice sounded natural. She then let out a generous smile as she uttered, "He is the most stunning man I have ever seen. I took the initiative to pursue him previously because I was attracted to his look."
Helian Wei Wei was being frank. She had always thought of herself as the bossy president. Hence, chasing someone was certainly her thing to do but obviously others did not think the same way.
"Wei Wei, you're exaggerating! Zifeng is here, who can be more handsome than him. Mind your words because it's hard to take them back later," Li Meng asserted and laughed along with others. "As the saying goes, beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. Wei Wei really tries hard for her boyfriend. What made the initial indifferent and talented girl chase after someone? This seems too cheap for you."
"She even mentioned that her family has good social connections, but eventually, she became a car mechanic." One of the three female classmates who came to a quick realization of the real meaning behind Li Meng's words shot a disdainful glance at Helian Wei Wei.
Du Sisi tried to smooth things over. "Perhaps something unpleasant happened to Wei Wei's family, causing her to be in such a state. I believe she didn't want to tell lies. Stop talking about the time when we were still in school. That time we were all still young, so it's understandable to be vain. Isn't it, Wei Wei?"
"Vain?" Helian Wei Wei repeated this word playfully. She gradually gave out a smile, with a unique meaning surrounding her thin lips.
Du Sisi portrayed a look as though she knew Wei Wei very well. The corners of her mouth were accompanied by a hint of mockery. She raised her wrist to look at her watch. "It's almost five o'clock. We haven't eaten anything after talking for so long. I'll give them a call to ask them to open the red wine first. Red wine tastes better after decanting. You can have a look at what you feel like eating. With the presence of my uncle, I am sure all of you will be given the best treatment. Wei Wei, help yourself later. Not everyone gets the chance to have a taste of the food here."
Those words were meant to indicate that Helian Wei Wei could not afford to have a meal in the Emperor Hotel.
A few ladies who followed behind Du Sisi laughed along with Li Meng. The meaning behind those words was as clear as day.
The price of the food was absolutely higher in such a grand hotel, especially for those precious ingredients. For example, the sashimi that was imported from Japan and the most authentic Beijing roasted duck that was hot from the oven. Each dish would easily cost up to thousands of yuan.
In order to be served with these dishes, it was required for the customer to make an appointment in advance.
After all, Du Sisi was rather confident when she uttered those words. In her point of view, she thought that this person would never have a taste of such good quality food, not to mention having an outstanding boyfriend.
Thinking about this, Du Sisi added with a smile, "Don't worry, Wei Wei, even if your boyfriend is not that good-looking, we won't say anything. Everyone will not…"
Before Du Sisi even finished talking, a deep and elegant voice sounded behind the crowd.
"Am I late?"
Chapter 980 - Class Reunion: Starting To Lose One’s Reputation
That voice was not sharp, but instead, it was overly pleasant to the ear that it caused the noise of people moving around to come to a halt. It was hard not to make others notice it.
Everyone immediately turned over their shoulders.
A man could be seen standing with a backlit effect. No one knew how long he had been standing there. He was clad in a black knee-length windbreaker which was half-open, revealing the pure white T-shirt. As for his bottom part, although he matched it with a pair of burgundy trousers with an unknown brand, its texture seemed fine and managed to exhibit his pair of slender and strong legs well. His silvery-gray fringed hairstyle made him look exactly like a character who came out from a comic book. He was filled with a captivating sense of beauty. His eyes were long and narrow with the corners of his eyes slightly slanted up, radiating a faint hint of sharpness. His skin was palely fair. The DiorHomme's style seemed to be tailored for him. The man appeared like a vampire aristocrat with oriental charm from afar, coupled with some sort of devilish elegance.
In a flash, everyone seemed to become a background.
Du Sisi and others were rendered speechless. Even if they had seen the world, they had never encountered such a stunning man before.
Several female classmates could not help themselves from looking fixedly at the man with their direction of sight changing along with his movement.
He stood right at the entrance of the hall. His ivory white and slender fingers were holding a child. That child had a rather handsome look with well-defined features, fair tiny face and a cool style of dressing up. He was similar to that of a little demon in movies with a small leather glove on his hand.
Just as Du Sisi and others were at a loss for words, the man had paced over. At that moment, the rather dim lighting in the hall seemed to have all rushed over to him, brightening his eyes like a flowing diamond, making him look so seductive yet captivating.
Helian Wei Wei was well aware that this man would be able to catch other people's attention in a wink even if he was in a huge crowd.
However, in reality, it was much more shocking than she had expected.
The formation of such an aura was indescribable as it was merely a modern attire but it was able to exude the feeling of a movie character in the 19th century. A standing posture was enough to bring out the qualities that gave p.l.e.a.s.u.r.e to the senses.
Du Sisi was wondering about the identity of the man who appeared out of the blue. Based on her memory, their class did not seem to have such an outstanding student.
At that time, several female classmates who were mocking Helian Wei Wei along with Du Sisi were already blushing with their hearts throbbing. Let's find a way to hook him up first regardless of who he is.
Thus, one of the women who assumed to have good looks, reached out her hand to play with her hair. She then uttered with a sweet voice, "You're not late. We are just about to…" Just as the woman was trying to finish her sentence, she was forced to a halt by the following scene.
The man did not even bother to shoot a glance in her direction. Instead, he passed by them to walk over to Helian Wei Wei. He then showed a subtle act of intimacy. "What's on the corner of your lips?"
"The corner of my lips?" Helian Wei Wei was utterly confused.
Baili Jia Jue stretched out his hand and used his finger to brush through Helian Wei Wei's lips. It seemed intentional, thus his movement seemed rather slow yet gentle.
In fact, Baili Shangxie could clearly tell that there was nothing on his Imperial Mother's lips. His shameless father just wanted to declare his sovereignty.
Honestly, no one else other than Imperial Father would use such a method.
Xiao Zifeng stood aside with his
gaze falling on Helian Wei Wei. His eyes darkened to a point where he could not pay attention to the conversation between him and some male classmates.
All he could do was to see the man who could simply get close to Helian Wei Wei. His fingers stiffened and his heart was in a complete mess.
Those who witnessed Baili Jia Jue's actions were taken by surprise. However, they soon came to a realization. "Wei Wei, who is this?"
Before Helian Wei Wei gave an utterance, Baili Jia Jue had already put on a smile. It was indifferent yet it carried the essence of a good upbringing. He curled up his lips into a grin which was just on point. "Hello everyone, I'm Wei Wei's husband."
"Hus...husband?" The university students were in a trance because of the smile. "I thought she said it's her boyfriend?"
Upon hearing that, the man twitched his lips. Then, he looked sideways and c.a.r.e.s.sed Helian Wei Wei's head as he responded helplessly, "We already have children together. Why do you still introduce me as your boyfriend to others? Wei Wei, you are always so lost when it comes to marital status."
Helian Wei Wei thought to herself. I am a little not used to His Highness being so gentle. Moreover, he is so cooperative with other people's questions today. Why is that so? He is often so indifferent, hence, even if it was for the sake of me, he would only reply yes when others asked him some questions. What's wrong with him today?
Baili Shangxie who was well-informed of his Imperial Father's trick did not comment much on his shamelessness. Instead, he tiptoed and tried to pick up Little Qingchen from Helian Wei Wei's arms with all his might. He portrayed the image of a good brother. "Are you hungry?"
Little Qingchen nodded and pushed the devil plush toy in his hand forward. "This is a gift for you. I did not buy this, instead, I caught it on my own."
Baili Shangxie carried his younger brother who was a head shorter than him. Obviously, he could not empty his hands to take the plush toy. His cool tiny face showed a trace of a smile. He was so delighted that his younger brother actually thought of him all the time.
The two little ones were very close to each other. Therefore, after being separated for a day, they had lots to talk about.
"I also have something for you. When you eat later, I'll help you to put it on." As a great elder brother, Baili Shangxie was more m.a.t.u.r.e than Little Qingchen.
Just then, Helian Wei Wei requested him to put Qingchen down.
Looking at one after another scene unfolded before them, Du Sisi and others felt as though they received a slap in the face especially the few female classmates who attempted to woo the man. They were green with envy yet feeling a little ashamed.
Never had they thought that Helian Wei Wei would be able to find such a good-looking man!
As Li Meng recalled the words she mentioned earlier, she was close to a breakdown because her husband was obviously not so presentable.
Luckily, her son needed to use the bathroom so his father brought him there. Otherwise, if her husband was standing right here, it would show a big difference as her husband was paled in comparison to Helian Wei Wei's.
Little Qingchen who could see through Li Meng's thought had waited long for a great opportunity to strike back. He carried the devil plush toy in his hands while speaking in a childlike tone, "Aunty, now that you have seen my father. I think you can give up your thoughts of letting your husband teach my father how to style. My father is not a hideous person and obviously, Uncle does not seem to have the ability to advise my father how to dress up."
Chapter 981 - Class Reunion: Do You Really Know Chairman Jue?
Upon hearing Little Qingchen's words, all the classmates recalled what Li Meng and the others talked about before the man showed up. Hence, they turned to look in their direction.
Ever since Li Meng and Du Sisi graduated, they had been flattered by people in order to curry their favor. However, they had never experienced this sort of spotlight where they were met with slight mockery, not to mention that it was in front of a huge crowd. Therefore, the embarrassment that they were going through at that moment was indescribable.
Li Meng could only force a smile with a stiff face. "Who knew that a child would take an a.d.u.l.t's words so seriously. Qingchen, we were simply joking with your mother. As for you, Wei Wei, who knew you were hiding such a handsome man at home? Why didn't you say so? We could have come and taken a look! Why did you have to hide him?"
She thought that Helian Wei Wei would be embarrassed and would not follow up with the conversation if she had uttered those words.
However, who would have expected Helian Wei Wei to smile at her with such seductive, devilish flattery, "Oh, it's because he's just so handsome. That's why I had to hide him. I didn't mean for you to see him. After all, I will be so distressed if people were to come up to him and flirt."
Helian Wei Wei's gaze was clear as she said this. She then turned to catch a glimpse at the female students.
She made others blush and pale with such a short and concise sentence. Helian Wei Wei's eyes were full of hatred but she had no choice but to suppress her emotions to avoid getting humiliated.
"Wei Wei, you two are so compatible." A female classmate giggled lightly, with a sincere heart of blessing.
Her words were true and sincere. Those two were extremely compatible in both appearance and height.
It was also because of the fact that Helian Wei Wei emitted a stronger sense of evilness and beauty than the rest of the girls. Regardless of the environment or her clothes, her aura could not be contained.
She had become the woman she aspired to be when she was younger, neither servile nor overbearing, as dependable and firm as time.
If it were anyone else standing next to Baili Jia Jue, they would have been greatly overshadowed...
Baili Jia Jue was extremely pleased to hear such praise, hence he expressed his gratitude with a smile.
Before the whole thing had begun, Du Sisi who was standing by the side had terrible palpitations. She could sense that the man's voice carried magic power and muffled magnetism that shone through. Now that she was hearing it from a closer distance, that voice was as clear and bright as the spring wind in March. It penetrated through one's heart and gave out a special sort of comfort.
How did Helian Wei Wei get so lucky to be able to meet such a man?
No matter how handsome he is, I believe he must be really poor, or else why would Helian Wei Wei be so broke!
When she came to this conclusion, Du Sisi's heart finally calmed down. She led the people into a private room and smiled, saying, "Wei Wei, after hearing what you said, you should know that we aren't young anymore. We aren't some naive, dumb maiden. We can't just judge a man based on his looks, we need to find someone who has a successful career. Only then can we consider his looks! Your boyfriend must have never been to the Emperor Hotel. You need to take good care of him later. Come, let's order. Order some fruits first, I'm so hungry."
After saying that, Du Sisi turned and looked at the server. "Bring the menu."
Emperor Hotel had always been famous for its excellent service. One private room would be served by three to five servers. Besides serving dishes one at a time, they were also responsible for opening the wine. Each server had been trained professionally and they wore bespoke butler uniforms in a suit and tie which were impeccably dressed. They all looked classy at a glance.
At Du Sisi's command, the server paused and finally replied, "Please wait a moment." Then, he exited the elegant private room.
Du Sisi wrinkled her eyebrows. Why wait a moment? Shouldn't they pass us the menu immediately? Is the food not ready to be served yet?
Whatever, it's just a trivial matter.
Du Sisi turned over to face her classmates, grinning ear to ear. "Don't be shy, feel free to choose your seat. This private room is ours today. My uncle has settled this for us so no one will come over to interrupt us!"
"Sisi, you're being too generous!" Those girls laughed and sat down. They pretended to ca
tch a glimpse at Helian Wei Wei. "Certainly, what my mother taught me was right. When we're looking for a boyfriend, we must find one that can pay for our things. It doesn't really matter how he looks. I heard that the chairman of Jue Wei Group is wealthy yet handsome. Sisi, you need to hold on tight. If things work out between both of you, then you can show off to others your perfect boyfriend."
"Watch what you're saying. Don't you know Sisi well enough? She gets shy easily. From what I see, I guess she has already gone on a date with that person. Their relationship must be quite desirable. I bet both of them are close to being in a relationship at this stage. There's no need to wait and see if things work out between them."
"Do you really know Chairman Jue?"
The person who asked this question was Baili Shangxie. His lips were still curved up, retaining his smile. His grin revealed an aura that solely belonged to a little devil.
Du Sisi was shaken by the child's sudden question. Her guilty conscience made her afraid to look around but she quickly calmed down.
What am I afraid of?
He is just a child that knows very little.
In this field, besides Li Meng's husband who has once seen Young Master Jue from afar, I am the only one who is able to enter the Jue Wei Group.
Even if I claimed that I have seen him, I don't believe anyone would dare to expose me.
"Little boy, why are you asking such a question?" Du Sisi's voice was sweet. "Of course I've seen him. Aunty and the chairman are really good friends."
Upon hearing that, Baili Shangxie sneaked a peek at Baili Jia Jue who was motionless and slowly let out a smile. "Oh really?" A friend that couldn't recognize my Imperial Father?
Ha, if she has really met my Imperial Father, how could she not recognize him?
Du Sisi was baffled by Baili Shangxie's smile. However, she did not take the words to heart because, in her opinion, he was merely a wimpy kid.
