Today was the class reunion, and the venue was Shangfeng Hotel.
Jian Dan went to Mengjiao’s house to pick her up first before going to Shangfeng Hotel together…
Mengjiao was the most important person she had to protect now. She had to be extremely careful!
Hence, Jian Dan transformed into Mengjiao’s sidekick and protected Mengjiao at all times.
The two of them arrived at the Chrysanthemum Ballroom on the fourth floor of Shangfeng Hotel.
When the two of them entered, many of their ex-classmates had already arrived and were already exchanging pleasantries.
The first person to welcome them was the class monitor, Zhao Zhao. “Jian Dan, Mengjiao, you’re here. It’s been a long time!”
“Yeah! I haven’t seen you since graduation.”
“Exactly! You two are so beautiful now.”
“You’re the same too! You’re still such a glib talker!”
“Have a seat first! When everyone is here, we can start serving the food.”
Jian Dan and Mengjiao took their seats…
“The two of you are still so close. I’m really envious!”
A girl sitting beside the two of them said.
“Jiang Xiaoyu? How are you? Where are you studying at now?”
“I’m at Media College. What about you guys? Are you guys in the same college?”
“Yup! We’re students of J University, but Jian is much better than me. I’m just a freshman now. Jian is about to graduate from college.”
“Jian Dan is still so formidable. When she was in junior high school, she was specially recruited into a college. If not for Shen Jiaqi, Jian Dan might already be a graduate student now.”
Fang Fang—who was beside Jiang Xiaoyu—nudged her with her elbow. “Don’t take it to heart! Jiang Xiaoyu is always like this. She’s very straightforward.”
Jiang Xiaoyu realized that she had misspoke. “That’s right! Just ignore me and pretend that I didn’t say anything.”
Mengjiao pulled a long face when she heard that name again…
Jian Dan knew very well what this name meant to them. She also knew what it meant to Mengjiao. Hence, she did not tell Mengjiao about her encounter with Shen Jiaqi!
She really did not want to see Mengjiao recall that incident…
Jian Dan held Mengjiao’s hand tightly…
Mengjiao picked up the cup of water and drank it in one go.
Although she had tried her best not to think about that incident all these years, it had affected her too much. Hence, when she heard the name Shen Jiaqi, the wound buried in her heart felt as if it had been forcefully torn open. It hurt, it hurt!
Fortunately, Jian was by her side. Otherwise, she really did not know if she could hold on.
“Mengjiao, for the sake of the baby, you can’t be too agitated,” Jian Dan whispered in Mengjiao’s ear.
“It’s all in the past. Don’t think too much. Relax!”
Mengjiao placed her hand on her belly.
Jian was right. It was all in the past. For the sake of the baby, she must not get too agitated. At the thought of this, she slowly calmed down.
After a while… Mengjiao’s cell phone rang…
Needless to say, the person who called was Li Jing who was very clingy to Mengjiao now. If not for the fact that he was so swarmed in the office recently, how could he not accompany Mengjiao?
After ending the call, Mengjiao told Jian Dan that Li Jing happened to be at Shangfeng Hotel on business today and would end around the same time as them. So, he would send them home later.
Seeing that Mengjiao had calmed down a little, Jian Dan heaved a sigh of relief…
“Alright, the last person of the day has finally arrived…” Zhao Zhao’s voice rang in the air…
Everyone looked in the direction of the door…
Shen Jiaqi!
Just like that, she walked in under everyone’s gaze…
