A lot of Ning Ran’s classmates were already there when she finally arrived.
A loud cheer rang the moment she stepped in. “Ran! Ran is here!”
Naturally, the ones shouting were all men. The women were silently judging Ning Ran’s life by scanning her clothes.
If she was wearing branded products, then her life had been amazing. Alternatively, if she was wearing cheap knockoffs, then her life must’ve been terrible.
Women only cared about her clothes while men only cared about her beauty.
The uproar caused by Ning Ran’s appearance showed just how beautiful she was.
She had led a pretty difficult life, but that hadn’t destroyed her youth, and her skin still looked silky smooth while her figure was still sexy.
Compared to the teenage version of Ning Ran, the adult Ning Ran was more mature and beautiful so the men were circling her like they were annoying flies. Everyone wanted to say ‘hi’. Some wanted to shake her hand, and some wanted to hug her.
The female classmates were ignored instantly, and all the attention they were previously receiving was transferred to Ning Ran.
Naturally, some were not happy about that.
Ning Ran knew that the men’s reaction would upset the women so she got away from the crowd to approach the other women to greet them. “Hey girls, it’s been too long!”
Everyone ignored her.
Ning Ran was in hot water immediately. She had just arrived and had already become the common enemy. How was she going to last?
Fortunately, Cheng Xiangyun was there to help Ning Ran out. “You’re so late,” said Cheng Xiangyun, “We were just talking about you.”
“Really?” said Ning Ran who grinned awkwardly, “What was the topic about?”
“We’re talking about how you are still so flirty,” interrupted a woman called Liu Li.
Liu Li was also extremely beautiful. Back in the day, many students had debated whether Ning Ran or Liu Li was the most beautiful girl in school.
Ning Ran didn’t care about that title, but Liu Li wanted it very badly that the emotional scars left from that competition still stung Liu Li even though it didn’t bother Ning Ran.
That day, Ning Ran’s mere appearance had attracted all the men over which made Liu Li even more upset.
Ning Ran would not entertain Liu Li’s provocations. If Ning Ran retaliated, it would make the situation worse.
They hadn’t seen each other in a while so it’d be bad if they fight immediately.
“Seemed that the boys in our class lacked attention from their mother,” said Ning Ran with a smile, “That’s why they want to be close to an old and ugly woman like me.”
Her joke made the women around her laugh. Cracking a self-deprecating joke like that got everyone to hate her less.
“Ning Ran, where have you been all these years?” asked one of Ning Ran’s classmates, “We haven’t heard from you for so long.”
“I went overseas to hide and give birth to a pair of illegitimate twins,” explained Ning Ran, “That’s why I’m oozing maternal aura.”
Ning Ran was being truthful, but the others thought she was joking again so everyone laughed.
As far as everyone was concerned, Ning Ran was too youthful to be the mother of two kids.
After Ning Ran’s self-deprecating jokes, the girls started to feel less jealous.
Just as everyone was getting along and chatting away happily, another person made an appearance.
All the girls turned to the entrance, and their line of sight never left again.
A handsome man wearing a white tuxedo came in.
The man was tall and had smooth skin. He was just as handsome as he had been all those years ago.
The expensive watch on his wrist made him looks even classier than usual, and the car keys in his hand had an obvious BMW logo.
The watch and the logo on the keys were enough to send the message that he was well off.
