Dragon Hidden in the Sky

Wang Long looked at Ye Qing speechlessly. What the hell did he mean by "that high school hoodlum"?

Ye Qing did remember this person. They were in the same high school, but in different classes.

Yang Xiaoxiao was the school beauty at the time, and had many suitors. As the man Yang Xiaoxiao liked, and also her deskmate, Ye Qing had a lot of trouble during high school.

Wang Long was a thug at school who threatened Ye Qing back then, telling him not to talk to Yang Xiaoxiao.

Ye Qing didn't take it to heart, and then... this guy called dozens of people to ambush Ye Qing after school on Saturday.

Because he was severely beaten by his father for hitting someone when he was a child, Ye Qing never showed his strength in front of ordinary people after that. So when he was surrounded by dozens of people, Ye Qing did not choose to fight back. Instead, he led the group of people to run through several streets and exhausted them all.

This has happened several times.

Later, this guy led a group to Ye Qing's class to ambush him, but was stopped by the teacher. In addition, Wang Long had a previous disciplinary record, so this time, he was expelled from school.

Clearly, this guy was still holding a grudge about this matter, and upon seeing Ye Qing, he couldn't help but say a few sarcastic remarks.

Wang Long glanced at Ye Qing with a dark expression and said, "Yes, we're just small-time thugs, but we can still earn hundreds of thousands a year. I wonder how much you, a good student, can earn now!"

Ye Qing thought of the four or five hundred million he had earned from fighting in underground boxing matches yesterday, and he smiled slightly and said, "A few hundred million a year, I guess!"

"Huh?" Wang Long was taken aback, then looked at Ye Qing speechlessly and said, "What the hell are you bragging about!"

The woman next to him laughed and said, "Brother Long, is this weirdo really your high school classmate? He just blurted it out like that? He makes hundreds of millions a year, and he's wearing clothes from a street stall? I don't know how he has the nerve to come to this class reunion!"

Upon hearing what the woman said, Wang Long's expression softened considerably, and he wanted to say something more.

But Ye Qing was too lazy to pay attention to him and turned to walk towards Hall 1.

Before long, Ye Qing arrived at Hall Number One.

Hall One was actually a large private room. Ye Qing stood at the door and looked around. Inside the room was a large dining table, and there were mahjong tables, sofas, board games, and a series of other entertainment items.

At the far end of the private room is a huge floor-to-ceiling window, leading to a large balcony with a fantastic view of the river.

There were already quite a few people sitting in the room. Ye Qing spotted Zhuo Fan at a glance, and they were all chatting inside.

"Brother Fan!" a woman said, "You're a senior executive at the Lin Group now, can you arrange for me to work there? I can barely afford to keep up with my spending!"

"No!" Zhuo Fan said, "I'm just a wage earner. You should let Wu Jin help you. You can work at his house, or you can marry him!"

"I'd like to marry him, but he only wants to use my body!" The woman was heavily made up and quite attractive. He scoffed, "As for work, he's just a rich second-generation heir who only knows how to indulge in debauchery; he can't manage the family business at all!"

A man dressed in luxury goods, with a jade pendant on his chest and an expensive watch on his wrist, sneered and said, "Wang Shiran, don't just spout nonsense. I'm not interested in your body!"

Ye Qing stood at the door for a while, until he was completely numb. Inside the room were two men and three women. The men were alright; he recognized Zhuo Fan.

He also recognized the man next to him, who was dressed in luxury goods. His name was Wu Jin. In high school, he was the top rich kid in their class. His parents were in the jade business in Donghai City.

The two had a fairly good relationship during high school.

As for the other three women, he had absolutely no recollection of them, perhaps because they were all wearing makeup.

He hadn't been in contact with these high school classmates for eight years, and felt completely estranged from them.

He couldn't understand why Lin Qianyu had agreed to attend this class reunion on his behalf.

"Hey, everyone's here!" At this moment, Wang Long also came over with the woman. Seeing the five people in the room, he said with a smile.

The people inside the room looked over, and upon seeing the doorway, a woman said with a smile, "Brother Long, Sister-in-law, why are you only arriving now..."

At this moment, Zhuo Fan quickly got up and walked towards the door.

"Brother Fan, we can just come in, there's no need..."

Zhuo Fan is doing quite well now, and Wang Long is very polite to him, even calling him "Brother Fan" directly.

However, Zhuo Fan ignored him and went straight to Ye Qing, saying, "Ye Qing, why didn't you say you were here? Come in, come in!"

He walked over with a polite expression, put his arm around Ye Qing's shoulder, and led her inside!

"Ye Qing?" The four people in the room were stunned.

"Damn, it really is you!" Wu Jin stood up and came to the two of them. He punched Ye Qing in the chest and said, "Zhuo Fan said you were coming to this party, so I drove all the way from Donghai."

Upon hearing this, Ye Qing was stunned!

He had a good relationship with Wu Jin in high school, but eight years had passed, and he thought that only a sense of unfamiliarity remained between them.

Unexpectedly, Wu Jin actually came all the way from Donghai City just for him.

"What exactly happened back then? What have you been doing all these years?" Wu Jin asked curiously.

A warm feeling welled up in Ye Qing's heart; it seemed that the feelings from back then could still continue to this day.

"It's a long story, something happened at home," Ye Qing said. "There's nothing I can do!"

"It's good that everyone's alright!" Wu Jin said. "Let's add each other on WeChat first. I live in Donghai now and also own property in Jiangcheng. Let's get together often in the future!"

Just as the two were feeling a bit wistful, a voice rang out from the side in a sarcastic tone, "Isn't this our class's former top student?"

Ye Qing looked in the direction of the voice, and it was the heavily made-up woman who spoke. Beside her, two other women were also sizing him up, their eyes filled with disdain.

"Ye Qing, most of the people attending this gathering are successful men, only they would dare to come here. You're the top student in our class, you must have a great job now!" she said sarcastically. "I wonder what you do for a living now, and how much you earn!"

This topic is always unavoidable at class reunions.

While it's true that such gatherings are generally attended by those who are doing well, if someone who isn't doing well comes, they'll at most be ignored! Unlike this woman who directly pointed it out, her words clearly intended to embarrass Ye Qing.

Ye Qing looked at her and asked, "You are...?"

"You really have a bad memory. I'm Wang Shiran!" she said, pursing her lips.

Upon hearing the name, Ye Qing exclaimed in sudden realization, "You look like a completely different person with this makeup! I really didn't recognize you!"
