After four years of living alone after marrying far away, he went back to his parents' home and

Lan Yujuan's idea infuriated Liu Qian to the point of almost jumping up and down:

"Why did you order so much alcohol if you don't even drink?"

"If you don't want to pocket the money but just want to freeload a meal, just say so!"

"Fine, I'll just pay for everything. If you want to skip out on the bill, then get out of here. What are you doing causing trouble?"

After hearing this, Lan Yujuan immediately put down her bag and slowly sat back down in her seat.

"Who says we can't order drinks just because we don't drink?"

"The boys in the class would drink heavily, throw up, drink again, and run back and forth between the private room and the restroom, and you didn't stop them."

"Could it be that our female classmates can't just rinse their mouths with a few bottles of Moutai and savor it properly?"

"Don't worry, we'll pay you exactly what's owed!"

"Instead of worrying about the meager gains we'll make, we should first see what Liu Qian's abilities are like."

"She was just pretending not to want to treat me; she was really just bragging. She'll take advantage of being drunk and skip out on the bill!"

Lan Yujuan was just saying it casually out of anger; she never doubted Liu Qian's financial resources.

After all, judging from the designer brands Liu Qian was wearing and the information we've heard from everyone, Liu Qian is definitely rich!

The money she spent on surgery on her face must have been a considerable sum.

Upon hearing this, the students present immediately fell silent and began to avoid any appearance of impropriety.

Two dogs fight, play off.

Regardless of who comes out on top between Lan Yujuan and Liu Qian today, no one will suffer a loss.

Either someone will treat us, or everyone will get three extra bottles of Moutai.

Seeing that everyone remained silent, Li Rui looked at Xu Kai and sneered:

"Squad leader, what do you have to say about this?"

Little did anyone expect that the class monitor had already drunk himself unconscious on the table.

Whether he was truly drunk or faking it, that remains to be seen.

Thus, the two sides were locked in a brief stalemate.

Out of the corner of her eye, Lan Yujuan noticed a fleeting, almost imperceptible panic in Liu Qian's eyes. It was as if Liu Qian had truly been right; Liu Qian was clearly feeling guilty.

In that instant, an absurd thought flashed through Lan Yujuan's mind:

Liu Qian always looks like a wealthy person, whether she's just pretending or not?

Are those designer brands she's wearing real or fake?

"Hmph, I was just trying to be nice by treating you, and you're slandering me like this!" Liu Qian finally couldn't hold back anymore and said angrily.

"In that case, let's not say anything more tonight, let's just go our separate ways!"

"Order as much alcohol as you want! Whether you want to rinse your mouth or pack it to go, it's up to you!"

"As for how to decide on A, let's discuss it together!"

Upon hearing this, everyone panicked, "Liu Qian, please stop!"

Especially those who haven't been drinking yet and are still clear-headed, quickly come over with a smile to comfort them:

"We're old classmates, and it's rare for us to meet up. It's normal for us to bicker a bit."

"Liu Qian, you are a magnanimous person, don't take these small things to heart."

Everyone wanted someone to treat them, but they didn't want to offend either side, so they started trying to persuade each other.

Everyone fears that their hopes will be dashed, and they'll end up with nothing to show for it.

As the two sides were locked in a stalemate, the door to the private room suddenly opened.

Everyone turned their heads at the same time and looked towards the door.

The waiter in the private room led in a handsome young man with a buzz cut who looked energetic even though he was dressed casually.

In an instant, the female students fell silent, silently sizing up the handsome guy who entered the room, especially his handsome face and upright figure, which made them blush, their hearts race, and they feel shy and nervous.

Even the male students who were drinking cast envious glances at them.

Qin Zhang, hands in his pockets, looked at the room full of younger students and smiled speechlessly.

"Aren't you guys at a class reunion? What's with that expression?!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the class monitor, who had been lying on the table unconscious, suddenly stretched and woke up while rubbing his eyes.

"Senior? What brings you here!"

"Weren't you in the next private room, having a get-together with your comrades?"

Qin Zhang grinned and walked straight towards Lan Yujuan, waving his hand as he went:

"It's okay, you guys keep talking!"

"I'm just here to see my sister, I'll only say a few words and then leave!"

Upon seeing this, everyone began to whisper among themselves.

"Juan'er, what time are you going back?" Qin Zhang asked, glancing at the time.

Lan Yujuan glanced at the receipt on the table, then at the restless Liu Qian, and whispered:

"I was just about to leave, I was busy settling accounts!"

"Liu Qian told everyone that she would treat everyone to a meal and pay the bill, but she singled out Li Rui and me to split the bill separately."

"We'll pay whatever it's supposed to be; neither of us has any objections."

"But tonight, despite ordering so much alcohol, neither Li Rui nor I touched a drop, yet she still made us each pay an extra 3500."

"Li Rui and I both disagree; we're discussing it now!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Zhang smiled even more broadly.

He put one hand in his pocket, and with the other hand he held onto the back of Lan Yujuan's chair, and laughed:

"That's it? It's no big deal!"

"Seeing you all puffed up like that, I thought someone had bullied you!"

"Don't be angry, I've already had someone sign the bill for your private room."

Qin Zhang laughed and immediately raised his voice, "Tonight, it's my sister's treat!"

"She hasn't been home for several years, and this is the first time she's attended a class reunion since graduating from high school."

"Xu Kai, for my sake, you can't let anyone bully my sister, you hear me?"

Xu Kai stood ramrod straight, nodding repeatedly, "Yes, yes!"

"Senior, I promise I won't!"

Qin Zhang raised his hand and gestured for Xu Kai to sit down. "Don't be nervous, just relax!"

After saying that, he lowered his head and turned to Lan Yujuan:

"It's getting late, I'm getting home late today, you don't need to wait for me."

"Take a taxi and go home early!"

"When you get home, send me a message to let me know you're safe, okay?"

Lan Yujuan nodded, blushing. "Okay, I understand!"

The farce came to an abrupt end because of Qin Zhang's sudden intervention.

No sooner had Qin Zhang stepped out the door than Lan Yujuan picked up her bag, got up, and left.

After leaving the restaurant, she and Li Rui hailed a taxi.

After getting into the car, Li Rui's eyes began to dart around, and he couldn't help but ask in a low voice:

Is he currently single?

Lan Yujuan turned her head in surprise, not quite understanding what was happening yet:

"Who?"

"Qin Zhang?"

Li Rui's face flushed red instantly, and he quickly turned to look out the window.

"Um……"

Lan Yujuan seemed to have guessed something, and immediately laughed. She turned around and teased:

"Well, I'm not too sure either. How about I ask around for you tomorrow?"

Unexpectedly, Li Rui immediately turned around, his eyes sparkling, and said, "Okay!"

For a moment, Lan Yujuan felt as if she had been tricked.

The next day, early morning.

Lan Yujuan was still asleep when she heard her phone vibrating under her pillow.

Before she even opened her eyes, she instinctively reached for her phone and casually pressed the answer button.

"Feed?"

"Lan Yujuan, did you ask about what you promised me last night?"

Li Rui's voice came through the phone, sounding nervous, cautious, and somewhat tired.

Lan Yujuan sat up abruptly, her drowsiness instantly vanishing. "You didn't stay up all night, did you?"

After a long pause on the other end of the phone, a soft cough finally came through: "Cough, cough!"

"No, not exactly. I also dozed off for a little while before dawn."

Lan Yujuan dared not delay any longer.

"Ask! I'll go ask for you right now!"

She immediately put on her slippers, wrapped herself in her fluffy pajamas, and went to the Qin family's house across the street.

As soon as they opened the door, they almost bumped into a "mountain"...
