Hearing Su Peng's mocking words about Ye Feng, many of their classmates had unhappy expressions. They felt that Su Peng's words were too harsh, as Ye Feng had only made a joke and there was no need to take it so seriously.
Su Peng, however, paid no heed to the expressions of his classmates around him. At this moment, as he looked at Ye Feng, the corners of his mouth turned up in a thick sneer:
"Ye Feng, it's important to be self-aware. Zhang Ximeng is the leading actress of Hong Kong's TVB and the pride of Jiangcheng County. She is not someone you, a mere driver, can casually joke about!"
After saying this, Su Peng turned his head to look at the other classmates, his face full of smugness:
"Let me tell you, when Zhang Ximeng visited Jiangcheng last year to see her relatives, my dad received an invitation from the Yang Family and even saw Zhang Ximeng at the banquet, and he even got an autograph for me!"
Upon hearing this, the rest of the classmates showed looks of envy.
Zhang Ximeng always kept a low profile during her visits to Jiangcheng County and rarely made public appearances. The Yang Family was a well-known prestigious family in Jiangcheng County and was also the family that had raised Zhang Ximeng.
That Su Peng's father had received an invitation from the Yang Family and even met Zhang Ximeng was itself a symbol of status and position.
Especially many of the female classmates, upon hearing about Zhang Ximeng's autograph, showed expressions of great interest.
"Su Peng, if your father attends another banquet at the Yang Family, could you ask him to get Zhang Ximeng's autograph for me too?" a female classmate, clearly a fan of Zhang Ximeng, asked hopefully.
The rest of the classmates also turned their eyes to Su Peng.
At this moment, Su Peng, filled with satisfaction and pride, with a smirk, said:
"My old classmates, it's not that I don't want to help you, but you know who Zhang Ximeng is. Although my father has attended the Yang Family's banquet and was fortunate to see Zhang Ximeng, if we keep asking for autographs, she will get annoyed!"
Su Peng's words greatly disappointed many classmates, but just then, one student suddenly shouted excitedly:
"Look, Wanqing is here!"
This statement instantly captured everyone's attention, and they all turned to look.
From the entrance of the hotel, a graceful woman walked in.
This woman had a well-proportioned figure, perfectly curved, with her black hair pinned up at the back of her head, giving off a vibe of smart professionalism.
Especially striking was her face, stunningly beautiful, with features radiating intellectual beauty: a dainty nose, elegant lips, arched eyebrows, phoenix eyes, and sparkling eyes like stars in the night, extraordinarily beautiful!
Upon seeing this woman, many of the classmates immediately stood up and went to greet her, their eyes filled with eagerness.
"Wanqing, you're here!" Su Peng was visibly delighted, gazing at Feng Wanqing's exquisite, flawless face and perfectly slender figure, his expression glowing with fervor.
The rest of the classmates all knew that Su Peng had been pursuing Feng Wanqing for over a year. Apart from those female classmates, the male classmates, although they each greeted Feng Wanqing, maintained a certain distance from her, clearly afraid of incurring Su Peng's resentment.
It must be said, Feng Wanqing was very popular, and at this moment, it was as if stars surrounded the moon, everyone crowding around her, engaging in enthusiastic conversation.
Feng Wanqing, dignified and composed, with a gentle demeanor, showed no airs of superiority. While chatting with her old classmates, she occasionally let out a crisp laugh, quickly blending in with everyone.
Though Feng Wanqing was speaking with the classmates around her, her eyes wandered and then spotted Ye Feng next to her. Her pretty face immediately brightened with a radiant smile as she approached him.
"Old deskmate, do you remember me?"
Feng Wanqing couldn't stop giggling as she walked up to Ye Feng and playfully punched him lightly on the chest.
Such an intimate gesture made many people around them stunned. They hadn't expected Feng Wanqing and Ye Feng to be so close. Especially by that appearance, even Su Peng didn't seem to hold as significant a place in her heart as Ye Feng did.
Su Peng's expression darkened slightly. He had attended Gua Wa's wedding mainly because Feng Wanqing would be there, and now seeing her being so affectionate with Ye Feng filled him with a touch of jealousy.
"How could I not recognize him? The old class president who I made cry several times!"
Ye Feng watched Feng Wanqing, who seemed as if she had stepped out of a painting, and a smile appeared on the corners of his lips.
Back in middle school, Ye Feng's academic performance was mediocre, and he wasn't really focused on studying, but Feng Wanqing would force him every day to pay attention in class and occasionally quiz him.
Because of this, Ye Feng would make Feng Wanqing cry every other day!
Thinking back to the ponytailed, pure school beauty who had now become the youngest mayor, Ye Feng was extremely moved.
Hearing Ye Feng's teasing, Feng Wanqing's pretty face blushed, and she laughed even more joyfully.
"Ye Feng! Wanqing! You both made it!"
Just then, Gua Wa, having just finished with his tasks, walked over and greeted everyone. He then ushered all twenty-something old classmates to their seats, arranging them at three tables.
Following that, Gua Wa asked the server to bring some cigarettes and make tea.
The male classmates naturally sat together, but when Su Peng saw the pack of 11-yuan Nanjing cigarettes on the table, the corners of his mouth twitched:
"I mean, Gua Wa, it's your wedding! Couldn't you splurge a bit on some decent cigarettes? This type of Nanjing is usually for workers; offering us these seems a bit shabby, doesn't it?"
Su Peng's words rang out loud and clear, instantaneously stopping those who were about to unpackage the cigarettes.
Everyone's expressions turned a bit sour; most of them were not doing too well financially, and such 11-yuan Nanjing cigarettes were beyond their usual reach, only purchased on special occasions.
For Gua Wa's wedding in a poverty-stricken county like Jiangcheng County, these cigarettes were actually rather decent. However, to Su Peng's lips, they turned substandard.
Gua Wa also looked extremely displeased. He himself was low on money, and his in-laws had just bought a house and were financially strained. Using 11-yuan cigarettes had already been a considerable expense for them, yet he hadn't expected to be ridiculed by Su Peng.
Su Peng observed the faces around him, a slight smile curling at his lips. He relished this effect; only in this way could he demonstrate his superiority, show that he had fared better than the others.
At that moment, he picked up the pack of Nanjing cigarettes, glanced at it, and then threw it down on the table:
"These are too harsh to smoke. Everyone should try these instead!"
While saying this, Su Peng stealthily glanced at Feng Wanqing, clearly trying to catch her attention.
He then pulled out a white pack of cigarettes from his pocket, prominently labeled 'For Official Use Only'.
"Exclusive supply cigarettes!"
Many of the classmates, being heavy smokers, had naturally heard of these cigarettes marked 'For Official Use Only'. These were rarities that money couldn't buy!
