High Martial Arts: Integrating with Super AI, Unrivaled and Unstoppable!
Chapter 19: Class Reunion!
Jin Tianyu, arm in arm with Lin Wan'er, walked towards them.
His suit was pressed neatly, and he was dressed smartly.
His eyebrows held an air of arrogance, and his eyes were full of disdain.
Lin Wan'er clung to his side.
She looked up at Lu Xuan, her gaze settling on him.
A sense of distance lingered, tinged with an inexplicable regret.
"Lu Xuan, what a coincidence?"
Jin Tianyu's lips curled into a warm smile, but his tone remained calm and arrogantly condescending.
"The class reunion is inside. Let's go in and sit down together, and catch up with our old classmates."
Lu Xuan raised his eyes, his gaze calm.
His tone was as calm as a deep pool of water, without any ripples or waves.
"No."
Jin Tianyu curled his lips into a disdainful smile, his eyes filled with contempt.
His words were blunt and barbed.
"I heard you haven't been doing so well lately."
"Show your face more often; maybe your old classmates can lend you a hand."
Lin Wan'er's throat tightened slightly as she softly offered her advice.
"Lu Xuan, Tianyu's words were blunt, but they're not wrong. Don't be so cold."
The little girl, Jin Anran, rubbed her sleepy eyes, her eyelashes drooping.
The little girl tugged at Lin Wan'er's clothes and mumbled in a childish voice.
"Mom, Dad... doesn't seem to like... this Uncle Lu."
Lin Wan'er's face stiffened slightly, and her fingertips tightened.
She quickly covered her daughter's mouth and scolded her in a low voice.
"Ranran, don't talk nonsense."
Lu Xuan lowered his eyes, too lazy to deal with it anymore.
He parted his thin lips slightly and uttered three words in a low voice.
"There's no need."
He turned around, took a step, and was about to leave.
A smug glint flashed in Jin Tianyu's eyes as he strode forward.
He blocked their path with one step, his tone becoming increasingly contemptuous.
"What? Scared?"
"Not doing well in life, so you're afraid to go back and see your old classmates?"
Lu Xuan suddenly stopped in his tracks.
A hint of coldness flashed across his eyes, but it vanished in an instant.
I didn't want to get involved in these trivial matters.
Since the other party is determined to provoke him and show off, he doesn't mind playing along.
He stopped and turned around.
He strode straight toward the Moon-Gazing Private Room, his posture upright and his gaze resolute.
The noise from inside the private room was overwhelming.
The clamor of comparison rose and fell, noisy and jarring.
"I just bought a 400,000 yuan SUV, it's super spacious!"
"I just bought a house in a top-tier school district! Right in the city center!"
"My new girlfriend is a young model, she's super hot!"
Squad leader Chen Bobo caught sight of Jin Tianyu and immediately put on a big smile.
He hurried forward, his tone obsequious.
"Brother Tianyu, you've finally arrived! Everyone's been waiting for you!"
She caught sight of Lu Xuan out of the corner of her eye, and her steps suddenly halted.
The smile froze on his face, and he managed to force a polite remark.
"Lu Xuan? You're here too. Please have a seat."
As soon as Jin Tianyu entered, he was surrounded by a crowd.
He walked straight to the head of the table, pulled out a chair, and sat down.
Head held high, chest puffed out, arrogant and overbearing.
He looked up and immediately began to boast.
"I've been so busy lately, negotiating a huge deal worth 300 million, it's almost finalized!"
The surrounding classmates instantly gathered around, and a chorus of praise and flattery filled the air.
"My God, three hundred million? Mr. Jin is awesome!"
"Mr. Jin, you are truly young and promising!"
"You'll have to lead us to wealth in the future!"
Jin Tianyu waved his hand, looking very magnanimous, and nodded repeatedly.
"Sure, sure!"
Anyone who wants to can join me!
Lu Xuan found a corner seat and sat down.
He exuded an aloofness that kept strangers at bay, remaining silent as he quietly ate his meal.
Pick up a piece of steamed egg with chopsticks and put it in your mouth.
His brow furrowed almost imperceptibly, then smoothed out in an instant.
These eggs aren't as good as my mom's.
After several rounds of drinks and several dishes, the table was gradually filled with clutter.
Squad leader Chen Bobo stood up, fixed his gaze on Lu Xuan, and cleared his throat.
"Just to clarify, today's meal is free for the girls, and the boys will split the bill. If you haven't transferred your money yet, please do so."
As soon as he finished speaking, several sidelong glances were directed at Lu Xuan.
A strange, sarcastic voice rang out, piercing the ear.
"Some people, when you call them, they don't come; they only show up after you've paid. It's obvious they want to eat and drink for free."
"After arriving, he ate in silence, like he hadn't eaten in eight hundred years. It was really boring."
"Lu Xuan, if you're really having a hard time and can't afford to eat, just say so, and we'll all chip in to get you some food."
Laughter erupted instantly, making eardrums buzz.
"Hahaha--!!"
Lin Wan'er frowned slightly, her fingers clenched tightly; she really wanted to say a few words in defense of Lu Xuan.
But he didn't speak in the end, instead gently comforting Anran in his arms with his eyes darting away.
Jin Tianyu waved his hand, feigning magnanimity, his expression carrying an air of charity.
"Never mind, Lu Xuan has it tough, he's facing financial difficulties."
It's said he's almost unable to pay his rent.
I paid for his share.
"Mr. Jin is so generous!"
"General Manager Jin is so righteous!"
Chen Bobo immediately clapped his hands in agreement, looking at Lu Xuan with a big smile.
"Brother Tianyu is so generous! Lu Xuan, why don't you thank President Jin quickly!"
Lu Xuan slowly put down his chopsticks, the porcelain chopsticks lightly tapping against the porcelain plate.
He looked up at the crowd, his expression calm and his tone indifferent.
"No need."
"I'll pay for everything today."
The entire audience erupted in laughter, the jeers nearly lifting the roof off.
"Stop acting all high and mighty. It'll be even more embarrassing if you can't pay later."
"Even a poor wretch like you wants to show off, it's hilarious."
Chen Bobo also sneered, his face full of disdain.
"Lu Xuan, don't be stubborn, don't suffer for the sake of saving face!"
Lu Xuan, too lazy to waste words, simply raised his hand and beckoned.
The waiter walked over quickly and spoke in a deep voice.
"Check out."
The waiter bowed and presented the bill with both hands, his posture respectful.
"Sir, your 82 Lafite has been delivered to the car."
The total amount for this transaction is 88,000. Would you like to pay by card or mobile payment?
Upon hearing this, everyone erupted in uproar, and the laughter abruptly ceased.
"He actually ordered a 82 Lafite?"
Some students couldn't contain their curiosity and went up to ask the waiter.
"Excuse me, beautiful lady, could you tell me... how much is that bottle of '82 Lafite?"
The waiter bowed slightly, answered politely, and spoke clearly.
"Sir, that bottle of '82 Lafite is 68,000."
Lu Xuan's expression remained unchanged as he spoke calmly.
"Swipe your card."
He took out a jet-black Supreme Black Card from his pocket, raised his hand slightly, and swiped it gently.
The ticket machine beeped, and the receipt was slowly dispensed.
Lu Xuan didn't even glance at it, casually tossing the receipt onto the table.
A classmate next to him glanced at the receipt instinctively, his pupils contracted sharply, and his face changed drastically.
She gasped in shock, her voice trembling.
"Holy crap! He actually swiped it! It really was 88,000!"
The entire place fell into a deathly silence; you could hear a pin drop. All the noise vanished.
A moment later, disdain and contempt rang out again, tinged with a guilty stubbornness.
"They really went all out to show off just once!"
"They probably saved up money for a long time, or even borrowed money, just to put on a show for today."
"I guess I'll be eating instant noodles for the next few years. I'm just too proud to admit it and I'm suffering for it."
The people still refused to believe it, convinced that he was just putting on a brave face.
Lin Wan'er's heart skipped a beat, her chest tightened, and she felt inexplicably uneasy.
But deep down, he remained convinced that Lu Xuan had only made a small fortune.
Lu Xuan stood up and straightened the corner of his clothes.
Without even glancing at the crowd, he turned and walked straight out of the private room, his back view cold and indifferent.
Everyone followed closely until they reached the hotel entrance.
A black Rolls-Royce Phantom stood quietly in front of the door, exuding an imposing aura.
The overwhelming sense of oppression made everyone subconsciously hold their breath.
Everyone's expression changed simultaneously, but they remained stubbornly defiant.
"It's just a rented car, what's there to decorate?"
"I think he's just a driver, driving the boss's car and pretending to be a big shot."
"Lu Xuan really went all out to show off."
Chen Bobo's face stiffened as he stared at the luxury car and muttered to himself.
"This car... doesn't look like it's rented..."
A crowd swarmed over and peered out from the hotel entrance.
Just then, the driver's side door opened.
Chen Hui quickly got out of the car, walked to the back seat, and opened the car door.
He bowed deeply, his tone full of respect.
"Mr. Lu, please."
Lu Xuan bent down and calmly got into the car.
The car door closed, the engine hummed softly, and the car sped away.
As the car disappeared from sight, the crowd's mocking laughter turned sour.
"They even hired a driver for the role; they're really going all out."
"That's not necessarily true. It's also possible that she's being kept by a rich woman."
Lin Wan'er stood there, her expression a complex mix of emotions, and remained silent.
Chen Bobo chuckled twice, his tone guilty.
"This Lu Xuan, he's probably just putting on an act..."
Jin Tianyu's face was ashen, and he let out a cold snort, full of resentment.
"Hmph! All this pretense. Let's see how long he can keep up the act!"
-
The car was quiet and the atmosphere was calm.
Chen Hui gripped the steering wheel, grinned, and looked pleased with himself.
"Brother Xuan, didn't I make you look good just now!"
Lu Xuan smiled faintly, a slight upturn to his lips.
"Hmm, well done."
Chen Hui gripped the steering wheel firmly with one hand, suppressed his smile, and reported his work in a low voice.
"Brother Xuan,"
The data synchronization is complete, the qualification review is passed, and the reports are archived.
The company is getting back on track!
Lu Xuan nodded slightly, his expression indifferent.
"Xiao Hui, you've worked hard."
Chen Hui's tone deepened, and his expression became serious as he continued.
"In addition, our network core system has just been anonymously broken into."
"The other party's methods were clean and efficient, making them a once-in-a-century genius hacker."
"However, he didn't cause any damage, nor did he trigger any alarms. It's just..."
Lu Xuan raised his eyes slightly, looked at Chen Hui, and waited for what was to come.
"Just what?"
"When he left, he deliberately left a clown smiley face symbol backstage."
Almost at the same moment.
A mocking clown's face appeared before Lu Xuan's eyes without warning.
The surrounding sounds faded away instantly, and it was as if he were the only person left in the world.
Only he could see that smiling face.
Lu Xuan closed his eyes and remained silent.
After a moment, he responded softly, his voice low and deep.
"understood."
