Chapter 110 Too Articulate
Long Xinyue moved and walked towards Fang Yu. Her gaze was sharp, filled with hatred.
Everyone stayed quiet.
Just as Long Xinyue, brimming with hatred, walked towards Fang Yu, Xu Zhaopei slowly stood up and blocked in front of Fang Yu. It was her who brought Fang Yu today; if there was any issue, she should be the one to settle it.
"Long Xinyue? What are you doing?" Unexpectedly, Shao Xin spoke first.
As the former president of the student council, her biggest wish was to facilitate a good chat among classmates and she did not want it to devolve into comparisons or even revenge.
Perhaps, Fang Yu was somewhat annoying back in the day, impulsive, fond of fighting, and very rude to girls. But during student days, who wasn't impulsive and naive? Years have passed, and bygones should certainly be bygones, at the very least, those were also the most beautiful memories in life.
But Shao Xin didn't expect Long Xinyue's hatred for Fang Yu was deep-seated, even years could not dilute it, instead, it only deepened.
Long Xinyue, a typical rich princess, must get what she wants. What she couldn't have, she would destroy by any means necessary.
"Sister Shao, you really know how to pick the place." Long Xinyue walked over, glancing icily at Shao Xin and said contemptuously, "Back then, you and Fang Yu were rivals, always arguing and competing. So, are you on his side today?"
Shao Xin smiled and said, "We were students back then, young and arrogant, those incidents shouldn't be taken to heart."
"Are you mocking me with that statement?" Long Xinyue spoke in a grim tone, "I am vengeful and petty."
Shao Xin's expression changed slightly, not wanting to continue the altercation with Long Xinyue. As a former student council president, she still had an influence among these old classmates.
"We're all here today to have a meal and enjoy ourselves. I hope you can let it go."
"Truly foolish." Long Xinyue laughed darkly, "Isn't it just a gathering? I paid for everything this time. If everyone wants to meet up, I'll cover everything tomorrow and the day after as well. It's just money, right? But this anger in me — there isn't such a good chance to vent it out!"
Glaring at Shao Xin, then turning to look at Fang Yu, she said, "Yu, do you still remember this foolish girl back then?"
"I remember." Fang Yu nodded helplessly, "Even if I turned to ashes, I would remember. After all, in the entire school, no one did what you did, trying to seduce me by barging into the men's restroom and even stealing my underwear, performing such insane acts – you were the first!"
Hearing these words, Long Xinyue wasn't angered but said, "Your mouth is as sharp as it was before."
"Thanks for the compliment." Fang Yu poured a cup of wine and said, "I haven't seen you in these years, but you are still as pretty as before, albeit your way of speaking has become somewhat cheap. —
"What happened to you? Wearing so much makeup, are you not confident about your appearance? Or is it to cover up the emptiness and loneliness inside? Don't you think the pearl necklace on your neck looks old-fashioned? It's the style favored by old ladies in the park. Oh no, you want to use the pearls to fill your thirst, right?"
Fang Yu, with his sharp tongue, left everyone dumbfounded. Even Shao Xin, their senior from many years ago, was shocked. This...Fang Yu, how is his speech even more venomous, even more...cheap than before—
Shao Xin felt fortunate, imagining if Fang Yu had spoken to her like this back in the day, who could have tolerated it? Fortunately, their competition back then was fair and open, otherwise, she would have suffered a lot.
Standing in front of her, Xu Zhaopei was also full of surprise. It seemed there was no need for her to intervene as Fang Yu was handling it himself.
There's a saying: When one is utterly despicable, they are invincible. It's true.
To deal with such a woman, this method must always be used. And only Fang Yu could articulate such low-class words perfectly.
Finally, Long Xinyue couldn't hold back her anger anymore, staring straight at Fang Yu, she said, "I didn't see it coming, you've become even more venomous than before. You use these words to insult me, simply to compensate for your failures in life—Are the clothes you're wearing bought from a street stall, costing fifty yuan? Do you know how much fruits cost per pound now? Do you know the price of square meters in Jiangzhou? Fang Yu, wake up; pretending won't feed you! Look at all of us, who isn't better than you. Who gave you the confidence to sit here and pretend?"
Long Xinyue paused and continued, "Childish! Saying all this, you're just trying to cover your own inferiority. Don't worry, we all have received High Class education, graduated from prestigious universities, and won't disdain you because you didn't attend university or look down on you for being poor. Among all the classmates present, who would even consider you?"
The classmates behind Long Xinyue clapped their hands. Her words struck a chord. Everyone was very excited, could not agree more.
That's right. What the heck is Fang Yu? Having no money yet still tries to act? If rich, who would wear such old leather shoes, still wear such cheap street stall items. Please, we're all adults, not like back in school days where you could pretend a bit by bragging. Do you think you're still in school?
Too stupid!
What time is it and you're still freaking pretending!
Who cares about whether you were glorious back then, or if you were the little tyrant back then. Now we all know, you have no money!
You are a failure, a piece of trash, an utter waste!
The group's eyes were all fixed on Fang Yu, filled with disdain.
Today, let's see how you, Fang Yu, can continue to pretend!
At this moment, the atmosphere turned extremely awkward, including the always rational Xu Zhaopei and Shao Xin, who couldn't help but feel distressed. Such vicious words, not just Fang Yu, even the most hardened person would find them unbearable!
Xu Zhaopei regretted it.
She shouldn't have brought Fang Yu here.
What would happen if Long Xinyue knew he was living at Jiang Wei's house? What would happen if Long Xinyue knew she had once confessed to Fang Yu, even offering to support him?
Facing such a sharp-tongued woman, Xu Zhaopei's rage also reached its peak.
Suddenly—
A hearty laugh came from not far away. Looking towards the voice, the person was a seventy-year-old man in traditional Chinese attire.
Alongside him was also a man, successful in demeanor, wearing glasses, weathered by time. It was evident he held great respect for this nearly seventy-year-old man.
This person was full of energy, stepping deliberately and steadily, exuding the aura of a superior. Clearly, he was not ordinary.
When the elder saw Fang Yu, his body trembled, quickly making a sound: "Young..."
Before he could finish saying "Master", Fang Yu glared at him.
The elder understood, laughed heartily as he walked over, and changed his words:
"Mr. Fang, what are you doing here? With this free time, why not come to my house for a drink? Do you look down on me?"
