Reunion ii
As the group reached the school, Zetian and others walked out of the car, The men were all dressed in dark suits looking as dashing as ever.
They were met with a familiar sight. Teachers were on hands to greet them, their expressions nostalgic as they welcomed them back.
"Teach, Do you remember me" Amelia excitedly skipped over with a cheeky smile to a kind-looking woman
"Of course, how can I forget this student who always slept in class, Specifically mine" The teacher replied with her eyebrows slightly raised
"H-hehe, you still remember" Amelia chuckled awkwardly
"Why won't she, When you've stressed our kind math teacher, please maam I'm apologizing on her behalf" Han Jie said while walking over slowly
Amelia's veins popped, and she smacked Han Jie's head, "Shut up fool, at least I attended class, not like a certain someone who always falls ill only during math class"
"At least it's an illness and I don't sleep in class"
The math teacher sighed, "Nothing changed" She waved at Zetian, "Ahh you're here too, your revision material that you donated was of great help to the student. Thank you"
Zetian politely smiled, "No worries maam"
The math teacher nodded and glanced at Evelyn, her eyes darting between Evelyn and the man standing beside her, "Lyn, is that your boyfriend?"
Evelyn's face heated up, and she quickly waved both of her hands around "He's not my…"
Before she could finish, Sial moved over and greeted the teacher, "Hello, I'm Sial"
The math teacher nodded with a smile, "Nice to meet you" She shot meaningful glances at the two "Alright you young people should have fun, I have a class to attend"
"Wait, Miss- " Evelyn tried to stop her so as to explain, she knew the teacher must've misunderstood
"Sooner or later, it would be true why explain? Alright let's go" Sial held her hand and joined the group
Evelyn was flabbergasted, she would be dumb if she didn't understand
The students, meanwhile, were still in class, their enthusiastic chatter carrying through the halls.
Among the group, Sial stood quietly next to Evelyn, his presence almost unnoticed. They made their way to the large hall, where the reunion was being held.
The hall had been transformed into a beautiful venue, with a huge banner hanging from the ceiling. The decorations were grand and the theme was royal, giving 'the space an air of opulence.'
It seemed everybody was there, the hall was harmonious and everyone was greeting, Others were eating
While most of the women were taking Selfies
When the group came in, considering they were the last, it caught a lot of attention
"Isn't that the school hunk, Zetian?" Someone exclaimed
"Yeah it is him. he got even more handsome over the years, look there's also Han Jie and Amelia"
"AHAHA the school belle, Evelyn is also here, Ah I'm still envious of her hair, she's so prettier now"
"Tsk" a blonde-haired girl snorted, "Why won't she be prettier when she hoards money that is not supposed to be hers"
The blonde-haired girls reminded everyone about the last scandal
"Qiao Zijin You've got a nasty mouth there, don't contaminate the atmosphere with it" Amelia spat out and haughtily walked to an empty seat
"Yeah who doesn't know how Qiao Zijin is jealous of the School Belle" Another person chimed in
"Let's keep that aside, Who is that handsome guy beside the school Belle?" With those words, Everyone's attention shifted towards Sial who was silently following Evelyn around.
"Whoa, the school belle really has the ability"
"Eh, When you're successful of course it is inevitable that you meet prominent figures"
Qiao Zijin's face distorted in fury as she heard the conversation, why could Evelyn have everything so easily while she worked hard for it? She's just an adopted daughter but everything seemed to be presented to her on a golden platter
"He seems Familiar don't you think?"
Qiao Zijin glanced over, she stared at the Man. Yes, he does seem familiar, but she couldn't put her fingers on it. Such influential looking person, Qiao Zijin couldn't really believe she'd meet and forget such a person
"Oh my god! I know him" A girl exclaimed with a mixture of fear and excitement, "He is Night Si, Sial Night"
"What!"
"Why is he here?"
Everyone murmured and couldn't help but sneak another look at the group's table. They were met with a cold stare from Sial.
Everyone trembled and seemed to be looking everywhere but the table. The atmosphere turned stiff.
"Why is that murderer here, is the law of Kingstone still good" A girl whispered in a stiff manner
"Shh, be quiet"
Finally, Qiao Zijin remembered this man, that Night, He was the one. Coincidentally, she met this duo who met with Maxwell, she was initially there to get a chance to talk to Maxwell about a job but she met the wretched duo.
From the meet-up to the point where it became all hectic, she was there. Initially, she was thankful that it had nothing to do with her but was envious when this aloof-looking guy went out of his way to save them
Why was it that she never met prominent men?
Although she would not want to mix with a dangerous person like Sial, but he had connections and influence that she desperately wanted. She was the only child, so it goes without saying that they pinned all hope on her. Qiao Zijin shot an unfriendly glance toward Evelyn's table
The Mc sensing the strange atmosphere went up to the stage. He who had once been their class rep, was very flexible and skilful and handling problems. With a bright smile on his face. He exuded a confident, business-like aura.
He began speaking into the microphone, his voice smooth. "Good afternoon ladies, and gentlemen and welcome back!" he exclaimed, his eyes scanning the room. "I'm your MC of ceremonies for this special reunion, and let me tell you, we've pulled out all the stops to make this a night to remember."
The crowd responded with applause, their excitement palpable. The MC continued with his speech, his charisma on full display. "We've got food, entertainment, and a lot of surprises in store. But most importantly, we've got each other, reunited once again after all these years."
Most people in the room today were prominent figures who everyone was once classmates with and joked around.
As the MC spoke, his smile never faltering, the crowd continued to hang onto his every word. "Now, I have a very special announcement to make," he said, his eyes sparkling with excitement. "Our special guest performer for tonight is someone you all will know well."
"Do you want to know now? Or should I take a bathroom break?"
The crowd chuckled, their class representative had always had a way of lifting the atmosphere. The stiff atmosphere disappeared when he appeared
The MC paused for a moment, building up the suspense. "That's right, we have none other than our English club Vice President, Qiao Zinjin here with us today!" The crowd erupted into cheers of applause.
Notwithstanding her strange grudge against the school belle, Everyone knew, Qiao Zijin was a talented individual.
The MC chuckled at their reaction, his smile widening. "That's right, ladies and Gentlemen Vice President Qiao is here with us, and they're going to perform for us later tonight." The crowd continued to cheer.
Qiao Zijin who was below the stage was smiling from ear to ear.
Yes, She was very much liked by everyone. This should be a perfect event for her to know prominent figures.
The MC waited for the applause to die down before continuing. "But before all that, let's take a stroll down memory lane." He gestured to a projector screen behind him, where old photos and videos of their school days began to play.
The screen flickered to life, showing images of students goofing off in classrooms, celebrating victories on the sports field, and posing for photos with friends. The sight of these nostalgic memories drew gasps and laughter from the crowd.
The screen changed to a slightly blurry video of Amelia sleeping comfortably in maths class.
Seeing this, Amelia stood up. Her chair screeched on the shiny floors, "Class rep, What do you mean by this" she pointed Agitatedly
The Class representative stifled laughter, and the whole crowd boomed with laughter, "And of course, we can't possibly hold a reunion without showing this memory not once or twice of our mate sleeping only in math class"
Han Jie as if on cue also burst out of laughter, holding his stomach. Amelia whacked his head with her purse
"Zetian can you believe it! That's not even me" She moved towards Zetian pouring in her grievance
Zetian chuckled, "I can't seem to believe it" he moved closer to her ears and whispered "But if you want I can give the Class representative a clear video to confirm whether its you or not"
