Living in a small county town, earning a million a year

Chapter 8 Licking a dog will lead to a good death
Tong Wu called out to Xu Mu, which drew the attention of the eight classmates sitting on the sofa.

There were three male students and five female students among the eight, including Zhou Mengting.

Especially those girls whose opportunities were taken away by Zhou Mengting back then, are very curious about whether Xu Mu has changed over the years.

After all, Xu Mu was once considered the most handsome boy in their class. However, Xu Mu was too quiet and didn't like to talk during high school, which made the female classmates who had a crush on him afraid to confess.

They had originally planned to confess their feelings to Xu Mu at the graduation party, but Zhou Mengting beat them to it.

After graduating from university, these girls, having been tempered by the complex environment of university, have become much more mature and composed, but they still want to see their former class heartthrobs and crushes.

However, Xu Mu has not attended any class reunions over the years.

The four female classmates were pleasantly surprised to see Xu Mu today.

Moreover, Xu Mu's outfit today, combined with his 1.8-meter height, still makes him their male god!

Sure enough, my idol hasn't changed at all over the years!

Zhou Mengting glanced at Xu Mu, then turned her head away with a complicated expression.

"How did you get here so fast?" Xu Mu smiled and hugged Tong Wu. "Look at you, we haven't seen each other for half a year, and you've lost a lot of weight."

"Come on, Brother Mu, you've lost weight too."

"Is writing novels too strenuous?"

"Writing novels is fine, it's just that I've been under some pressure lately! But it's okay, I can pay back the money I borrowed from you in less than a month!"

"Hey, it's just the two of us brothers, no need for all that." Tong Wu put his arm around Xu Mu's shoulder and said with a smile, "Eight of our classmates have already arrived."

"Including the two of us, there are ten people now!"

With that, Tong Wu led Xu Mu to sit down on the sofa in the lobby.

"Xu Mu, you've become even more handsome than before! And more mature too!"

"But after all these years, Xu Mu, you really haven't changed at all."

"By the way, you've never attended our class reunions before, why did you decide to come today?"

"..."

As soon as Xu Mu sat down, the four female classmates started chattering away.

It was as if they were old friends they hadn't seen for years.

In fact, Xu Mu barely spoke a few words to them throughout high school.

Before Xu Mu could speak, Wang Wei, sitting opposite him, couldn't help but say sarcastically, "Haha, you haven't attended class reunions for so many years, isn't it because you were dumped back then and you're too ashamed to show your face to us?"

"Wang Wei, it's been so many years, why are you still such a lapdog? Everyone knows that someone cheated on you first back then, what does it have to do with Xu Mu? Why are you still so eager to be a lapdog now?"

Before Xu Mu could speak, Tong Wu couldn't help but retort.

When Tong Wu was bullied by the school bully back then, it was Xu Mu who stepped in to help him settle things.

Later, Xu Mu helped him a lot.

From then on, Tong Wu referred to himself as "little brother"!

Over the years, their feelings for each other have not faded due to distance or time.

Seeing Wang Wei's veiled accusations against Xu Mu, Tong Wu naturally couldn't stand it.

Moreover, Tong Wu's eagerness to participate in the annual class reunion was precisely to see if that scoundrel was gossiping about Xu Mu behind his back.

"Tong Wu, what does this have to do with you? Why are you so eager to speak up for Xu Mu?"

"I think you've gotten used to being a dog!"

"Hahaha!" Tong Wu laughed. "What's wrong with me being Mu Ge's dog? At least Mu Ge is willing to share his food with his brothers."

"And you? You've been sucking up to Zhou Mengting for so many years, has Zhou Mengting ever paid any attention to you? Don't you still masturbate in front of Zhou Mengting's profile picture every night?"

"What the hell..."

Wang Wei immediately stood up, rolled up his sleeves, and wanted to fight Tong Wu.

Tong Wu originally didn't want to bother with Wang Wei, but this idiot insisted on messing with Xu Mu, so he naturally wouldn't let Wang Wei off the hook and directly exposed his wounds in front of Zhou Mengting, the person involved!

The atmosphere between the two immediately became tense.

Zhou Mengting sat silently on the single sofa, but her brows were furrowed and her face looked very unpleasant.

Because she genuinely didn't like Xu Mu back then, breaking up was only natural. But she didn't expect that this matter would be exposed and even reach the ears of her classmates, who labeled her as a cheating, manipulative, and two-timing scumbag, which made it very difficult for her to face others.

In previous years, during class reunions, everyone tacitly avoided mentioning this matter.

Tong Wu and Wang Wei were just exchanging words.

But today is different. Xu Mu, the person involved, is present at the scene, and Wang Wei publicly criticizes Xu Mu.

Tong Wu was naturally not to be outdone.

"Xiao Wu." Xu Mu pressed down on Tong Wu's shoulder and handed him a cigarette. "What's the point of arguing with a clown like this?"

"Just treat this as a normal get-together between you and me." "That makes sense! If a dog bites me, am I supposed to bite back?"

Tong Wu nodded in agreement, and at the same time took out a lighter from his pocket to light Xu Mu's cigarette.

Zhou Mengting glanced at Wang Wei and said in a cold voice, "Wang Wei, what are you doing?"

"Xu Mu rarely comes to a class reunion, why make things so ugly?"

"Humph!"

Wang Wei was still a little intimidated by the combination of Xu Mu and Tong Wu. One was strong and the other was tall. If a conflict broke out, he was not sure he could beat them.

As for Zhang Wei standing next to him, he's just a guy with a bit of money. He's good at talking big, but he's really no good at fighting.

Besides, they're not children anymore; fighting would get them arrested and detained.

"Since Tingting has spoken, I'll give you both face!"

Wang Wei also took the opportunity to save face.

Xu Mu showed no emotional fluctuation upon hearing this.

"Xu Mu, we've been broken up for so many years, but you haven't changed at all!"

"Is that so?" Xu Mu smiled calmly, glancing up at Zhou Mengting. "But I think you've become even more of a green tea bitch than before!"

Xu Mu found that since he got the system, he seemed to speak more confidently.

Perhaps this is the change that money has brought to me!

Moreover, and most importantly, he can face Zhou Mengting calmly, unlike when he was in college, when he would blush even holding hands, let alone kissing her.

But thinking about it now, it still feels a bit disgusting.

Who knows if Zhou Mengting had kissed other men before he kissed her?

he~tui!

Upon hearing this, Zhou Mengting's already unpleasant expression turned even more unpleasant.

"Xu Mu, I know that my breakup with you back then hurt you a lot! But was it wrong for me to pursue my happiness?"

Zhou Mengting wore a bitter expression, seemingly wanting to use this class reunion as an opportunity to clear her name.

After all, back then, there were countless rumors about her having an affair with a rich second-generation, but none of them had any real evidence.

Most of them are rumors.

Since the parties involved are here, Zhou Mengting still wants to use Xu Mu to clear her name.

"Oh?" Xu Mu sneered upon hearing this. "He's using the iPhone XS I bought for you with a loan, saying he only loves me! And then he's putting his arm around a rich second-generation guy's waist and getting into his Porsche 718 to go to a hotel!"

"Hey, you're telling me I'm not ready yet, I want to wait a bit before we have sex, but over there you're having sex with a rich guy and using my money to buy condoms? What, are you trying to make it more relatable for you to use condoms I bought, or to give me a sense of involvement?"

"If you hadn't brought up breaking up, I wouldn't have bothered with you, but you insisted on bringing it up, and you're trying to use me to clear your name?"

"They're all ancient foxes, why are they playing these ghost stories?"

After saying this, Xu Mu coldly stubbed out his cigarette.

They are no longer seventeen or eighteen-year-old girls and boys. Adults have to weigh the pros and cons. Zhou Mengting's decision to break up with him and find a rich second-generation was her own choice, but what she shouldn't have done was cheat on him while they were dating.

She's enjoying his kindness here, while she's also lining up to make money off rich kids.

Even if your father needs money for hospitalization, that's no excuse for you to lie to me!

When they broke up back then, Xu Mu just thought he was stupid, inexperienced, and it was his first love.

But that doesn't mean Xu Mu is still an idiot and can still be fooled by Zhou Mengting!
"alright, alright!"

Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, the female classmate sitting opposite Zhou Mengting quickly stepped in to smooth things over.

"The past is the past. Zhou Mengting was immature back then, and the two of them eventually broke up, didn't they?"

"Let's talk about something else! Like, Xu Mu, what are you doing now? You haven't attended class reunions for so many years, are you quietly making a fortune?"

"Me?" Xu Mu raised an eyebrow and said simply, "I'm unemployed at home. I just write novels in my spare time!"

"Wow? Really? You can write novels?"

The female classmate asked in surprise, trying to take this opportunity to get closer to Xu Mu, "What is it that you wrote? Can I take a look?"

Judging from Xu Mu's outfits, he must have made money!

Even if they don't make a lot of money, they at least have a stable job or have made a small fortune.

After all, the material of the clothes he was wearing was not simple, and Xu Mu's temperament gave him the air of someone in a superior position.

“No,” Xu Mu refused.

"Hmph! You're too embarrassed to let people read your lousy novel. You didn't write something that shouldn't be written, did you?"

"Oh? How did you know?" Xu Mu looked up, raised an eyebrow at Wang Wei, and said, "Wang Wei is obviously very experienced; he looks at this kind of thing all the time."
