Before Min Sang could say anything, Yun Jing was already upset, "What's wrong with a secondhand domestic car? The roads in Kun Cheng are so congested, even a Ferrari can't run smoothly!"
Chen Chao laughed and said, "Lao Da, you're lucky to have a wife who stands up for you."
Yun Jing glared at Chen Chao.
Min Sang quickly intervened, "It's okay, Ying Ying, it's just Lao Er's way of joking. Anyway, are we all here? Let's go in?"
Zu Mo and Yun Haoran exchanged a glance. Lao Er Chen Chao might call it joking, but it could also be called having a big mouth. He had been like this since school.
Chen Chao's car was carrying Ai Lujia and Han Leilei. He said, "Zhang Jiao and her boyfriend, along with her girlfriend, are in another car. They should be here soon."
After waiting for a while, a Porsche Cayenne arrived. After parking, two women and a man got out of the car.
The man, slick and welldressed, must be Zhang Jiao's boyfriend. Chen Chao had already introduced him before they arrived. His name was Ding Zijun, a smalltime entrepreneur. He wore a watch worth tens of thousands and drove a highend Porsche Cayenne worth over two million.
The two women, one was Zhang Jiao, and surprisingly, Zu Mo knew the other one, Song Xiamin.
Seeing Zu Mo, Song Xiamin smiled and quickly walked up to hold the little one in her arms, "Zuzu, do you remember Auntie Xiamin?"
The little one had a very good memory and had already started combining two different sounds. In Song Xiamin's arms, he rubbed against her and then, in a childish voice, called out, "Auntie..."
Song Xiamin felt her heart melting and couldn't stop smiling, "Zuzu, such a good baby... Haven't seen you in a few days, have you grown taller?"
Zu Mo looked at her, puzzled, and asked, "Teacher Song, how do you know..."
Song Xiamin glanced at him, her expression slightly unnatural, as if still harboring some resentment over what happened before.
Zhang Jiao walked over to Zu Mo and said, "It's a small world, we were just talking about you earlier..."
It turned out that Song Xiamin and Zhang Jiao were best friends, and in fact, they were all classmates. Although Song Xiamin wasn't a student at Kun Cheng University, she graduated from the neighboring Kun Cheng Normal University. Both universities were located in the same university town, and Song Xiamin was also a famous beauty at Kun Cheng Normal University.
After the introductions clarified the relationships, Zhang Jiao invited everyone inside.
Today wasn't originally about Chen Chao. It was Zhang Jiao's birthday, so she invited her boyfriend and her best friend, and also had Chen Chao gather old classmates, hence this gathering.
This time, it was Zhang Jiao's boyfriend, Ding Zijun, who was treating everyone for her birthday.
The birthday party was held at the Qingjiang Grand Hotel's KTV.
The Qingjiang Grand Hotel was a five-star hotel, ranking among the top three in various aspects in Kun Cheng. The key was its excellent location, sitting in several major business districts and enjoying the beautiful scenery of the Qingjiang River while being quiet and secluded.
At this moment, the Qingjiang Grand Hotel was brightly lit.
In the KTV hall, there were two rows of "princesses" wearing uniforms and stockings, heavily made-up, with looks ranging from above average to stunning, and many were part-time students from nearby schools. They all bowed respectfully to the guests as they entered.
Ding Zijun did have some face, he walked at the forefront, and when he was seen, the lobby manager quickly came over to greet him.
"My girlfriend's birthday, please arrange it. Is room 888 available?"
"I'm very sorry, Mr. Ding, today the boss is hosting special guests, and room 888 has already been booked. How about room 666 for you and your friends?"
Ding Zijun was slightly displeased, but seeing that Zhang Jiao had no objections, he nodded.
Later, they ordered some more drinks, beverages, snacks, and fruit platters. Then, to the manager's hopeful gaze, Ding Zijun generously opened two bottles of Martell, spending over ten thousand yuan in one go, much to the delight of the lobby manager.
Zhang Jiao also seemed very pleased, her face flushed with excitement. In front of her classmates and friends, having her boyfriend display such generosity made her vanity greatly satisfied.
Min Sang, however, felt somewhat suffocated. Though no one said anything, he had a feeling of being overshadowed in every aspect, unable to hold his head up in front of Yun Jing.
The private room was spacious and splendid. It was the little one's first time in such a setting, and he was extremely excited, waving his hands and feet and making excited noises.
Song Xiamin held her and laughed, "Zuzu, are you going to dance?"
Zu Mo himself didn't like such occasions and didn't want his daughter to stay too long either. After all, the noise was loud and the air wasn't good. He thought they would leave after a while.
The others had a few drinks and immediately got excited.
Ai Lujia had a queenly demeanor and sang with style. Her rendition of the diva's "Hypnosis" won thunderous applause.
Zhang Jiao sang like her personality, soft and cute, suitable for sweet songs.
Song Xiamin also sang two songs, both nursery rhymes, specifically to amuse the little one. She sang with expressions and actions, which the little one loved.
The girls sang, and the boys drank.
Since today was Ding Zijun's treat, everyone toasted to him first.
However, Ding Zijun obviously carried himself like a young master, treating Chen Chao politely but ignoring Min Sang and Yun Haoran completely.
He knew Chen Chao was now hanging out with Wu Sen, Wei's eldest son. Min and Yun were just ordinary university graduates. He didn't even bother to stand up when Min and Yun toasted him; he just took a sip of his drink.
After Min Sang toasted him and returned dejectedly, he grumbled, "Damn second-generation rich, living off their parents' wealth, what's so great about them?"
Zhang Jiao, being the birthday girl, drank quite a bit and soon became tipsy. Sitting there, she glanced at Zu Mo, her expression somewhat strange...
