This time, Aunt Tang did not ask him to go to dinner, but said that Jiang Churan had a little sister celebrating her birthday, and she was not sure about letting Chen Fan go with her.
It shouldn't take much time to have a meal, he thought and dialed the number given by Aunt Tang.
"Hey, Ranran? I'm Chen Fan."
"It's me, what's the matter?" Jiang Churan's cold voice came from the other end of the phone.
Chen Fan didn't pay attention and continued: "Aunt Tang said that your friend is celebrating her birthday, and she asked me to accompany you."
"Oh, I'm at Starbucks in the city center. Come over here." Jiang Churan replied silently as if he had been notified by his mother.
.....
"Of course, who made the call?"
As soon as the phone was hung up, a petite girl next to her covered in famous brands asked strangely.
She is Jiang Churan's fair and beautiful best friend 'Zhang Yumeng', and she is also the one celebrating her birthday this time.
In addition to her, there was a tall and cool girl sitting next to her. Both of them had been Jiang Churan's best friends since childhood.
"Forget it, my mother's friend's child. I don't know what my mother likes about him, so she insists on bringing me and him together." After putting down the phone, Jiang Churan returned to his true nature and said with a troubled look on his face.
"Hey, it's okay. I've already met the parents." Zhang Yumeng was amazed, her curiosity was already over the top, and she said:
"How do you look? What's your family background? How does it compare to our Yang Chao?"
Yang Chao is Zhang Yumeng's boyfriend. He is tall and handsome and is the captain of the school basketball team. The family has opened a "Tianshengsheng Hotel", which is built according to five-star standards and ranks among the top five hotels in Chuzhou. In terms of assets, it is only higher than Zhang Yumeng's family.
There are many girls chasing him, and Zhang Yumeng finally managed to hook up with them, which he has always been proud of.
"You're a little money-crazy, it all depends on your appearance and family background." The tall and cool best friend rolled her eyes at the side.
"I see what's wrong with your appearance and family background? In this world, you are not a handsome guy. Your family has no money and no power, but you still want to seduce me?" Zhang Yumeng put her hand in her waist and retorted confidently.
"Okay, okay, you know our Miss Mengmeng has high standards." Jiang Churan said angrily. "His name is 'Chen Fan'. He is from Sishui County. He has no family and no background. He is just handsome. The key is that my mother said he is kind and honest."
"Honest? You can make a living." Zhang Yumeng couldn't help but laugh.
The aloof best friend next to him also shook his head and said seriously: "Of course, Mengmeng's idea is wrong. But if it's like you said, he has no looks and no family, then even if you like him, the two of you can't be together. It will be very painful. You have lived in different circles since childhood, and there are many generation gaps between you."
"I didn't say that I fell in love with him, so don't worry about it. My mother is messing with her and I'm annoyed." Jiang Churan said weakly.
"Since you don't like him, then when he comes, I will take care of him." Zhang Yumeng snorted coldly. "Let him know that the sky is high and there is nothing, but he still dares to pursue our Jiang school beauty?"
Jiang Churan rolled his eyes and lost the strength to speak.
.....
When Chen Fan arrived, he saw them at a glance.
In 2007, it was when Starbucks became the most popular in China. Many white-collar workers and children from middle-to-upper-class families like to go to Starbucks with their friends in the afternoon to drink a cup of coffee, eat some desserts, chat, and enjoy leisure time.
But even in Starbucks, Jiang Churan's corner attracts the most attention.
The main little girl is very beautiful, and she feels like she stands out among a group of bourgeois women drinking coffee.
And the two girls accompanying her are also outstanding, one is tall and cool, and the other is petite and cute. The three of them gathered together and quietly became the center of attention in the entire cafe.
"Ran Ran."
He walked over and said hello with a smile.
This kind of thing about accompanying girls gave him a headache, but he couldn't bear to hurt Aunt Tang's heart. After all, Aunt Tang also had good intentions.
"You're here." Jiang Churan was very polite, but he could feel that he was deliberately keeping a distance.
Another girl with a hot body and cold appearance didn't even look at Chen Fan. Holding a cup of coffee, she glanced at the street outside the glass window blankly, looking like a cold goddess who didn't want to disturb strangers.
"Are you Chen Fan?" Zhang Yumeng looked up and down beside him with a look of disgust.
Her clothes and shoes add up to more than 100,000 yuan. Her bag is a classic LV model, her clothes are a Chanel pink girl suit, and her lace-up Roman shoes are Mauro Leone from Milan, Italy. They are not available in China and were bought by her father abroad.
Chen Fan, on the other hand, wears high-end products that can be bought anywhere on the street and can be purchased for just a few hundred yuan. The two stood together in stark contrast.
"Boy, are you the only one who wants to pursue our campus beauty, Jiang University? Do you know how many suitors Ranran has in school? The children of the deputy mayor's family and the city's high school entrance examination champions who were recommended to Huaqing are all supporters of our family Ranran. You want money? You have no money, you have looks but not looks, you have ability but not ability, who gives you the courage?" Zhang Yumeng said with disdain.
"Mengmeng?" Jiang Churan glared at her, as if blaming her for speaking too much.
"Don't worry, I just listened to Aunt Tang and had a meal with her. I have no intention of pursuing her." Chen Fan glanced at Jiang Churan and said.
"Mengmeng didn't mean that, don't get me wrong." Jiang Churan said calmly.
That's not what you mean. Which one does it mean?
Chen Fan smiled and didn't care.
Seeing that Jiang Churan just glared at Zhang Yumeng without explaining to him, he knew that these words were her tacit approval.
When he came back in this life, except for Xiaoqiong, he looked down upon other girls. Since Jiang Churan didn't have such thoughts about him, why should he be so hot-tempered but cold-hearted? The Tribulation Immortal Lord has his own pride.
Zhang Yumeng proudly raised her chin at him. Seeing that her goal was achieved, she picked up the fashion magazine and ignored him.
Chen Fan silently ordered a cappuccino and found an empty seat to sit down.
His focus was not actually on Jiang Churan, but on the cold and charming girl next to him.
Concubine Xu Rong!
Jiang Churan's best friend.
And strictly speaking, the two had an ambiguous relationship in their previous lives.
The cold-looking girl wore a black waist-revealing short T-shirt on her upper body. She had high breasts, a slender waist, and amazing toughness. The lower body is wearing tight denim shorts, revealing a pair of thrilling long beautiful legs. The white and tender skin is crystal clear in the sun. Under the feet are fashionable white running shoes.
Although it is not a luxury brand, she is tall and can wear ordinary clothes like a super model.
Although she looked very cold, she was actually quite good at heart. In her previous life, she even told Chen Fan who Jiang Churan liked, and advised him to give up quickly and find the person he really liked.
Unlike Zhang Yumeng next to her, she looks pretty and cute, wears fashionable brand names, has a superior family background, and is really white, rich and beautiful. But his eyes were as high as the sky, and he had never looked at Chen Fan seriously in his previous life.
"I remember that Xu Rongfei was an art student. She was admitted to the Yanjing Film Academy next year. She later became an actress and acted in several popular TV series. She was named one of the four little actresses of her generation?" Chen Fan looked at her while drinking coffee. With Concubine Xu Rong.
In his previous life, when he was the young master of Jinxiu Real Estate, he had some interactions with Concubine Xu Rong, who was an actress at the time.
At that time, the two met at a fashion party organized by a large company in the entertainment industry. When old classmates meet, one is a young man worth billions, and the other is a popular actress. We had some friendships when we were in school, and naturally sparks would fly.
Unfortunately, before any results could be obtained, Chen Fan encountered the biggest drastic change in his first half of life.
The company closed down and his mother died of illness. At that time, he was so busy that he couldn't think of having an affair with his old classmates.
Later, when he returned to Chuzhou alone and dejected, he accidentally heard about it from his friends.
Xu Rongfei was rumored to have offended a big shot in the industry and was put in cold storage. A lot of negative news broke out, and her star was bleak. Finally, unable to bear the pressure, he became depressed and committed suicide. Before the age of 30, his life as beautiful and gorgeous as fireworks ended.
At that time, Chen Fan sighed, thinking how high-spirited they were when they met. He thinks he is the best among his classmates and friends. Unexpectedly, one of them fell into poverty and the other committed suicide in a blink of an eye.
"Life is so unpredictable." Chen Fan couldn't help but sigh.
Seemingly noticing his unusual gaze, Xu Rongfei frowned, turned her head and asked:
"you know me?"
Although she looks cold and cool, her voice is soft and waxy, and she speaks like a coquettish girl. Therefore, she treats many boys without pretense, but there are more and more suitors, one after another.
This reminded Chen Fan of a famous female star in his previous life, 'Sister Zhiling'.
Xu Rongfei also entered the entertainment industry under the name of "Little Zhiling", but unfortunately the final result was much worse than that of Sister Zhiling.
"I don't know him, but my family has a profound knowledge and is proficient in Yi hexagram. My nickname is Shen Shuzi." Seeing an old friend from his previous life, Chen Fan became playful for a while. After receiving his emotion, he said half-jokingly and half-seriously:
"For example, even though we met for the first time, I figured out that you are an art student and you have the word 'Xu' in your name."
"Oh? Really? What else did you see besides that?" Xu Rongfei did not expect that he would answer like this, and her curiosity was immediately attracted.
"What else?" Chen Fan pretended to think: "In the future, you will be admitted to Yanjing Film and Television Academy, become an actor, and eventually become a big star."
"How do you know that I want to be admitted to Yanjing Film and Television Academy? And my ambition is to be an actor!" Xu Rongfei's surprised little mouth opened slightly, and her pretty face looked confused, like a ripe apple, which made people look at it. Couldn't help but take a bite.
"Pfft!" Zhang Yumeng next to him couldn't help laughing.
"Oh, my Miss Xu, you are a popular figure in our Ivy League Middle School. He asked for all the information about you." Zhang Yumeng hugged Concubine Xu Rong beside him and kissed her hard on the cheek. One mouthful, he said angrily.
After she finished the kiss, she turned around and looked at Chen Fan with contempt.
"A boy from Sishui County doesn't rely on words to chase girls. And you are too carefree. Just after being rejected by Ran Ran, you transferred to our beautiful Xu? Do you think we are fools?"
Jiang Churan also frowned secretly.
I thought that although Chen Fan liked to brag a little, he was quite honest, but I didn't expect that he was also glib.
