Step 6: Make the best out of an Embarrassing situation 3

Song Ruoxin's apartment.

Song Ruoxin stopped in front of the black doors of her apartment and transferred the grocery bags to her right hand. She brought down the keypad and punched in her passcode.

Tang Yun stepped out of the kitchen and took the grocery bags from her as she stepped in. "You took a while, what kept you?" Tang Yun said gently dropping the bags on the table.

The scent of braised pork filled the entire apartment, Song Ruoxin's hands immediately went to her stomach which rumbled.

"there was an ongoing sale at the store, I got us some more milk and meat," Ruoxin opened the fridge, took put a bottle of water, uncapped the bottle, and tipped it over her mother.

"Oh," Tang Yun's lips curved as she saw them, "awesome". She quickly unpacked the bags and kept the groceries aside.

Some minutes later the table was set and they both sat on their seats. "Han Yating's wedding is this weekend, are you going?"

Song Ruoxin's let out a heavy breath and nodded.

"Really? I thought you wanted nothing to do with her?"

She set down her chopsticks, "I did but then she involved Professor Sun".

"How surprising," Tang Yun muttered rolling her eyes, "at least we get to go together, what a relief".

Song Ruoxin chuckled, "Hopefully we won't be seated with any of our classmates".

*****

Oakcrest Hotel, S city.

The days flew through and soon it was the day of the wedding ceremony. Song Ruoxin and Tang Yun left their apartment early to avoid getting stuck in traffic.

However, they ran into a traffic jam which delayed them. By the time they arrived at the wedding venue, it was already noon.

While Tang Yun settled the taxi fare with the driver, Song Ruoxin threw her head back and looked up at the Towering building in front of her.

The hotel was breathtaking, it was one of the tallest buildings in the city. The five-star hotel boasts of a modem indoor greenhouse and garden.

All of which made this one of her dream staycation venues. She shivered and looked sideways as someone squeezed her shoulder.

"oh... Yun'er".

Tang Yun grinned and nodded at the hotel, "It is massive, isn't it? I heard rumors that Han Yating's husband is a second-generation heir, I guess it is true.

"It is not easy to book this venue for a wedding, our company held an event here last year and let me tell you. The hiring charges for the halls at Oak Crest are in six figures".

Song Ruoxin's lips chuckled, "really, I guess Yating finally hit the jackpot"

They relaxed their minds when they did not meet any of their classmates as they walked into the champagne-yellow lobby.

Their relief was short-lived because as soon as they presented their invitation to the guards they were promptly escorted to two free seats on one of the four tables that were arranged for the bride's former classmates.

Song Ruoxin plastered a stiff smile as she walked to her seat, luckily she and Tang Yun were seated together. She nodded in greeting to the classmates she made eye contact with.

A few wore sincere smiles but a vast majority of them just forced out a smile. She was seated at a round table of eight, Tang Yun was seated at her left.

While Cai Ying sat to her right. Cai Ying gave her a cold smile as she sat. Song Ruoxin did not take her behavior to mind, she nodded at the other woman and looked ahead.

She and Cai Ying didn't move in the same circle when they were students. Cai Ying was closer to Han Yating and often hung out in their room.

Since Song Ruoxin and Han Yating were roommates they ended up spending some time together.

"Who is this?" A gruff male voice said from behind their table. Song Ruoxin's brow furrowed as the arrival rushed to her side and put his head next to hers.

"Oh my, it is my goddess Xin Xin".

Her face was only inches away from his, Song Ruoxin's brow switched as pulled back her seat and stood. "Hello, Brother Lu".

"Don't stand on ceremony, isn't it my goddess Xin Xin. Wow, You are still so hot," Brother Lu said with a toothy smile, he attempted to place a hand on her shoulder but she swiftly stepped aside.

He did not take her action to heart. His eyes sparkled as he took in her slender body, her form-fitted dark blue gowns enhanced her figure.

He pulled out a seat from the table next to Song Ruoxin's table and sat beside her. Cai Ying hissed as he gestured for her to scoot over, she shot Song Ruoxin a glared and pushed her chair aside.

Song Ruoxin bit her cheeks lightly with her teeth and exhaled a deep breath as she returned to her seat.

Brother Lu quickly stroke up a conversation, "it has been a while Goddess Xin Xin, what have you been up to? I haven't heard much about you since you left.

"Are you working in the finance industry? I got a job at Wujian, the pay is quite good. I am only a year and a half short of the criteria to be promoted.

"We can help each other since are in same industry. Let's exchange numbers," he took put his phone and opened his contacts.

He frowned and glanced as Cai Ying as she placed her hand came over his phone, "don't get too ahead of yourself, brother Lu. Our circle isn't exactly that small, if someone as infamous as Xin Xin was part of the industry you would know".

She placed her had on Song Ruoxins palm, "Xin Xin I heard that you lost your job. Let us know you are having difficulty finding another job.

"The finance department of S UNIVERSITY is like family, we wouldn't mind helping you out. Even if you don't meet the requirement for a job in finance. You still have your experience working in the service industry".

Everyone seating around burst into laughter, Song Ruoxin pieced her nails into the palm of her free hand. She took in a deep breath and counted to ten and back.

She understood that Cai Ying was hoping to get a reaction out of her and intended not to give her that opportunity.

Just as Tang Yun glared at Cai Ying fully intending to give the other woman a little piece of her mind. She paused and turned to her side as Song Ruoxin placed a hand on her thigh and shook her head.
