Just then, Qing Yan received a WeChat message on her phone.
"Yan Yan, what have you been busy with lately? When will you come to pick up the Yixin Grass?"
Only then did Qing Yan remember that she had been occupied with managing the company and hadn't yet retrieved the item she won at the auction from Nan Qiao.
"Let me tell you, there have been quite a few good items at the recent auction. Knowing that you've been busy, I've bid on them for you. Isn't that thoughtful?"
Qing Yan, with her slender fingers, replied, "If it's something that Miss Nan finds good, it surely won't be lacking in quality."
"Of course! They're all great treasures!" Nan Qiao followed up with a voice message. "Do you have time tonight? There's a new club opening in Hebei. We must go and support it for free! It's such a great opportunity, we should give it a go and splurge a bit, right?"
"Sure."
"I'll pick you up tonight. Send me the location later."
"OK."
After sending the WeChat message, Qing Yan told Si Yechen beside her, "I have something to attend to tonight, so I'll need to go home early."
"Alright." Si Yechen's gaze softened, thinking that she had some family matters to take care of, without giving it much thought, he agreed.
On the other side, one of Lu Muyao's classmates shared the location in their group chat. It was a recently opened high-end club called Holiday Club. They chose this place because of an ongoing promotion and the cost was split equally among the classmates. They wanted to experience what a high-end club looked like and also hoped to meet some wealthy individuals like second-generation rich kids.
In preparation for tonight's gathering, Lu Muyao had taken an early bath and dressed up. In order to have a better effect on her slim waist, she hadn't even taken more than a few bites of dinner.
Now, she descended the spiral staircase in her house, wearing a gorgeous waist-cinching dress. Expensive jewelry adorned her ears, neck, and wrists. Her hair was styled in a bun, giving her a touch of feminine elegance.
The maids in the living room were all amazed. "Miss Yao Yao, you look absolutely stunning!"
Even Gao Yang, who came to pick her up, was momentarily stunned. He hadn't expected that when Muyao put effort into her appearance, she would exude a sense of elegance.
Already delicate and weak, she now appeared not only gentle and graceful but also slightly mischievous.
"Gao Yang, you're here?" Lu Muyao's voice softened as she approached, linking her arm with his.
Gao Yang's heart seemed to melt at something. The distance between them in the past few days disappeared, replaced by a gentle concern. "Are you ready?"
"Yes!" Lu Muyao knew what caused this change in him. Most likely, he was attracted by her beauty. Seizing the opportunity, she asked, "Gao Yang, if my classmates ask if you're my boyfriend or fiance, how should I introduce you?"
"Definitely as my fiance."
"But Aunt seems... not quite satisfied with me," murmured Lu Muyao, her long false eyelashes drooping, sounding a bit disheartened. "What if something unexpected happens in the future and my classmates make fun of me?"
"How could that happen?" Gao Yang reassured her. "I'll talk to my mom and make sure everything goes smoothly."
Lu Zhenhai and Xu Aiqin, who had been eavesdropping nearby, couldn't contain their joy and quickly came out.
"Ah Yang, we believe that your feelings for Yaoyao are genuine. Yaoyao, don't overthink it! If Ah Yang says so, would he deceive you? You two will definitely have a smooth journey ahead!"
"Why don't we go to the class reunion now?"
Lu Muyao smiled and affectionately held onto Gao Yang, discreetly brushing her arm against his when no one was looking.
Golf Club.
Seven or eight classmates were already waiting at the entrance, eager to see what car Lu Muyao arrived in and how handsome her boyfriend was...
Until a Porsche Cayenne appeared, and everyone's eyes widened. This car must be worth at least two million!
Under the gaze of several classmates, Gao Yang stepped out of the black sedan, politely opened the car door for Lu Muyao, and considerately held her hand.
"Wow... it's Lu Muyao, Lu Muyao!"
"Sister, you finally came!"
"Long time no see, you've changed so much!"
She's like an ugly duckling turned into a beautiful swan!
"That dress looks amazing on you!"
"And the earrings, so beautiful!"
"Is that necklace expensive?"
Several girls immediately surrounded Lu Muyao, eager to link arms with her.
Gao Yang closed the car door, handed the car keys to the valet, and greeted everyone politely.
"Hello, I'm Yaoyao's fiancé, Gao Yang."
His voice was pleasant, and he had a sunny and handsome appearance, every move exuding excellent manners.
A few girls couldn't help but exclaim:
"You're engaged?"
"So he's not your boyfriend, but your fiancé!"
"So handsome..."
"Yaoyao, you're so lucky! You have such a good-looking fiancé!"
And the key point is, he's driving a Porsche Cayenne!
Who would have thought that after Lu Muyao's family reunion, not only did her material status rise several levels, even her fiancé is top-notch!
She's truly blessed!
"Yao Yao, I heard your fiancé attends the best university. That's impressive, isn't it?"
"He's just a freshman, right? He already knows how to drive at such a young age?"
"Yao Yao, I envy you so much..."
A group of girls surrounded her as they entered the club, leaving two or three girls around Gao Yang, taking the opportunity to flatter him.
"Yao Yao, this is the private room we reserved for you. How do you like it?"
The organizer of the gathering, Jiang Shan, opened the door to the private room, but didn't wait for Lu Muyao's exclamation.
Lu Muyao looked at the environment in front of her, paused for a second, and then smiled gently, saying, "It looks nice. It's just that there are quite a lot of people from our class, but it's okay. The main thing is to have a lively atmosphere."
Jiang Shan sensed her meaning and her face stiffened. She chose this room because the larger ones didn't have any activities or complimentary snacks and drinks.
Lu Muyao must have returned to a wealthy family and was accustomed to high-class occasions, so she didn't find this kind of private room appealing. It was quite normal.
"Today, I'll treat everyone." Unexpectedly, Gao Yang spoke gently from behind, "You all planned this for Yao Yao, and I am Yao Yao's fiancé, so it's only right for me to pay the bill."
Seven or eight classmates froze upon hearing this.
"I'll upgrade the private room for them." Gao Yang looked at Lu Muyao, his eyes filled with tenderness. "Classmates, it's your kind intention to celebrate for Yao Yao. I'll be responsible for all expenses today. Let's just enjoy ourselves."
While Lu Muyao was touched, she also felt like she was stealing the limelight. Her mood was as if she were basking in the spring breeze, and she couldn't help but feel proud!
Jiang Shan couldn't help but remind, "Brother Gao Yang, um... the better private rooms require a recharge."
"How does the recharge work?" other classmates couldn't help but ask.
"This club has top-tier rooms, high-level rooms, premium rooms, mid-level rooms, and small rooms... The one we have is considered mid-level."
If they wanted one of the first three types of rooms, they would need to recharge.
