At five o'clock in the afternoon, Qin Xuan took a taxi and arrived at the entrance of the Gathering Cloud Pavilion on time.
"Here he comes, here he comes!"
In the Dongmei Pavilion of the Gathering Cloud Pavilion, Zhao Xiaoyu quickly called out to the others in the room.
There were three men and three women in the whole room. All three of the boys were quite handsome and had quite some backgrounds in Jing Shui City. Among them were Wang Jiahao, who Zhao Xiaoyu had mentioned, and her boyfriend Li Feng.
"Qin Xuan is here!" Li Feng showed a sneer. He walked over and looked down through the window.
Only Xiao Wu was still quietly reading her book, as if she hadn't heard Zhao Xiaoyu's words at all.
"Hehe, it's not that easy to get into the Gathering Cloud Pavilion. If it weren't for a big shot coming today, I wouldn't have begged my dad to book this Dongmei Pavilion for us." Li Feng sneered, his eyes full of mockery.
"Of course, you're the best, honey!" Zhao Xiaoyu put her arm around Li Feng and gave him a kiss on the cheek, looking extremely proud.
The Gathering Cloud Pavilion was a notch higher than a five-star hotel in Jing Shui City. Even if you had money, you might not be able to book a room like the Dongmei Pavilion. Without sufficient connections, it was simply impossible.
Mu Xue'er and Wang Jiahao smiled gently beside them. They looked at Qin Xuan.
They saw Qin Xuan following a middle-aged man and walking towards the Gathering Cloud Pavilion with a calm expression.
"Here comes the show!" Li Feng said in a low voice.
The others also stared intently at Qin Xuan, wanting to see how Qin Xuan would get in through the door.
Downstairs at the Gathering Cloud Pavilion, Qin Xuan walked towards the entrance.
Several beautiful and fair-skinned hostesses saw Qin Xuan and were startled.
"Welcome!"
They all bent at a ninety-degree angle together, with their heads lowered a bit more than usual.
These people were all from the Gathering Cloud Pavilion. They had witnessed Qin Xuan and Mo Yunyi coming here yesterday. Moreover, they had vaguely heard that the Gathering Cloud Pavilion had changed its owner now. Even Brother Hu had suffered a great loss and was sent to the hospital.
The middle-aged man walking in front of Qin Xuan was startled. He put his arm around his mistress and had a puzzled look on his face.
Usually, when he came to the Gathering Cloud Pavilion, these hostesses didn't have such a good attitude towards him. At most, they were just respectful. When had they ever shown such great respect?
However, with such an attitude from them, the middle-aged man puffed out his chest even more and his smile became even brighter.
"Chairman Han, you're really something!" The heavily made-up woman beside him said in a coquettish voice that was almost sickeningly sweet.
Han Pu was very pleased and laughed a few times before striding into the Gathering Cloud Pavilion.
Qin Xuan's expression hadn't changed from the beginning to the end. He didn't even glance at those hostesses and walked leisurely into the Gathering Cloud Pavilion.
It was only after Qin Xuan had gone in that these hostesses dared to raise their heads.
One of the younger women asked in a low voice, "Is this the Mr. Qin who beat Brother Hu so badly?"
She hadn't been here yesterday and was seeing Qin Xuan for the first time. If the people beside her hadn't held her back, she wouldn't have greeted him like this.
However, she had also heard some bits and pieces of information. She just hadn't expected that Mr. Qin was so young. Judging by his age, he was only about seventeen or eighteen years old, right?
"Shh, don't talk nonsense about this. Be careful that Brother Long throws you into the Mingxin Lake!" The woman beside her changed her expression and lowered her voice. "It seems that Mr. Qin has a very powerful background and is now the owner of our Gathering Cloud Pavilion!"
The woman was shocked. The Gathering Cloud Pavilion had actually changed its owner? That was Brother Long! For a moment, she couldn't help but look horrified.
"He actually got in?" In the Dongmei Pavilion, Li Feng and the others looked stunned.
"Was that Han Pu just now?" Wang Jiahao suddenly spoke. His family ran a company and he had met Han Pu once.
"Han Pu? The chairman of the Qingshan Construction Company?" Mu Xue'er and the others were slightly startled.
Li Feng also suddenly realized it and cursed, "This guy is really lucky. I guess the people at the Gathering Cloud Pavilion thought he was with Han Pu!"
He was a bit resentful. He had originally planned to have some fun, but Qin Xuan was safe and sound, which greatly disappointed him.
"Li Feng, forget it. Don't make things difficult for him!" Mu Xue'er also shook her head slightly. Anyway, they were all in the same school as Qin Xuan.
"Alright, Miss Mu. It's your birthday today. You're the boss!" Li Feng gave a sly smile, turned his head and put his arm around Zhao Xiaoyu and sat down.
Qin Xuan walked into the Dongmei Pavilion. Looking at this group of people in front of him, he smiled in his heart.
What a coincidence. They were all acquaintances.
There was no need to say much about Li Feng. In his previous life, at Mu Xue'er's birthday banquet, he was humiliated. It was Li Feng who spread the news to the school, making him the laughingstock of the whole school.
Moreover, Li Feng's favorite thing to do was to find trouble with him. He liked to step on him whenever he could.
As for Wang Jiahao...
Qin Xuan smiled slightly. After Mu Xue'er humiliated him severely at the birthday banquet in his previous life, it was said that she chose to be with Wang Jiahao.
Wang Jiahao's family ran a company. It was said that with the help of a noble person, the assets of the whole company had multiplied several times. Moreover, big shots in the whole Jing Shui City and even in the Linhai area gave him some face. At that time, Wang Jiahao was really popular in high school and even managed to win Mu Xue'er's heart in the end.
"History always repeats itself in an astonishing way!"
Qin Xuan sighed in his heart. His eyes fell on the last woman.
Xiao Wu!
Seeing this woman, a ripple stirred in Qin Xuan's heart. In his previous life, when he became the laughingstock of the whole school, she was the only one in the whole school who didn't laugh at him.
This woman was like a pure lotus. What's more, Xiao Wu often asked him to read books together. At that time, for Qin Xuan, Xiao Wu was like a Bodhisattva. If it hadn't been for Xiao Wu, that nightmare might not have disappeared so quickly.
Although he hadn't seen Xiao Wu since college, he hadn't expected to meet her again now.
"Oh, our young master Qin is here!" Li Feng said in a strange tone. "Quick, give young master Qin a seat."
Qin Xuan glanced at Li Feng faintly and said, "You don't need to worry about it."
"Oh, young master Qin has quite a temper!" Li Feng's eyes turned slightly cold. He walked to the opposite side of Qin Xuan and said coldly, "We'll have fun with you slowly in the future. Let's see how long you can be so proud!"
"Li Feng!" Mu Xue'er frowned.
Li Feng immediately put on a smiling face and said, "Xue'er, I'm just saying a few words to your boyfriend. Are you feeling sorry for him?"
He glanced at Qin Xuan contemptuously, emphasizing the word "boyfriend" very strongly.
Mu Xue'er looked at Qin Xuan indifferently and said, "Come and sit here."
Her tone was polite but also a bit cold. She treated Qin Xuan as if he were just an ordinary friend.
Qin Xuan didn't say anything. He quietly walked over and sat down beside Xiao Wu. With just a glance, he knew what book Xiao Wu was holding.
It was a Buddhist scripture. The whole book was written in Sanskrit. Ordinary people couldn't understand it at all, but Xiao Wu always liked to read this Buddhist scripture with great interest.
After that, Mu Xue'er and the others ignored Qin Xuan and started to order dishes. There were also other classmates coming.
And from their conversations, it was heard that there was also a big shot coming, who was specially invited by Wang Jiahao.
"Qin Xuan, right?"
Qin Xuan was sitting there calmly when suddenly Xiao Wu's voice came to his ears.
"Um!"
Qin Xuan nodded and smiled gently. "Yes? What's the matter?"
Xiao Wu looked at Qin Xuan. Her eyes were as clear as water. She said, "I made a bet with Mu Xue'er before. You should be prepared psychologically."
She felt a bit reluctant. It seemed that she also knew what would happen that night.
Qin Xuan smiled. Xiao Wu was as kind as she was in his previous life.
"I know."
Qin Xuan said softly, "Things are unpredictable. It might not necessarily be a bad thing."
He turned his head and smiled, looking at Xiao Wu. "Am I right? Miss Xiao of the Xiao family!"
Xiao Wu's face froze for a moment. Her usually calm pupils were now full of surprise.
"How do you know?"
