If it was Chen Wenwen or Liu Miaomiao, they would have lowered their heads in embarrassment and remained silent at this time, but the little angel was worthy of being a little angel. Her eyes swept back and forth between Lu Mingfei and Hui Liyi without any hesitation.

After hearing Chu Zihang talk about the relationship between Lu Mingfei and Eri, Su Xiaoqiang's mouth never closed. After a long while, she finally uttered, "Damn it!"

"Is this true? I left you a message saying you found a girlfriend abroad, and you really did!" Su Xiaoqiang glared at Lu Mingfei. "No, she's not my girlfriend anymore... I said, why didn't you tell me something as big as getting married? You're really good at hiding it, Lu Mingfei, or do you think it's unnecessary to inform unimportant people?"

"I'm really not, I swear!" Lu Mingfei testified loudly, "I just think that saying something like this is just a cover-up!"

"Three hundred and two bullshit! Is this how the idiom is used? If I had known you had a girlfriend, you would have told me earlier... I wouldn't have left you a message!" Su Xiaoqiang said in distress, rummaging through his bag. "It's so awkward now... Just wait!"

"Sister...you're not going to use a knife to chop me, are you?" Lu Mingfei asked weakly.

“Why would I stab you?” Su Xiaoqiang pulled out a black Hermès wallet from his bag, took out a thick stack of red banknotes from the wallet, and without counting them, slapped them in front of Lu Mingfei, “This is the gift money, I’ll pay it back, I wish you a happy marriage and a baby soon!”

Lu Mingfei glanced at the stack of red banknotes, which was perhaps hundreds of bills thick. Then Lu Mingfei raised his head and looked at Su Xiaoqiang in surprise.

It was not that he was shocked by Su Xiaoqiang's generosity. Lu Mingfei knew from a long time ago that Su Xiaoqiang's family was really rich. Lu Mingfei was surprised by Su Xiaoqiang's behavior... Admittedly, Su Xiaoqiang's words were a bit resentful, and this situation would be embarrassing for anyone, but Su Xiaoqiang's approach was undoubtedly the most decent. She frankly admitted her embarrassment and accepted the reality even more frankly. Lu Mingfei was once again conquered by Su Xiaoqiang's personal charm.

She is worthy of the nickname "Little Angel". She is always young and energetic, and always graceful and elegant.

"Well, you don't need to pay for the gift." Lu Mingfei pushed back a thick stack of red bills. "Maybe we'll hold another one here in the future. You will definitely receive an invitation. Then give me a bigger one."

"No problem, just wait to be drunk!" Su Xiaoqiang didn't hesitate, took back the money and said it proudly.

"The little angel is still a little angel after all." Lu Mingfei gave Su Xiaoqiang a thumbs up. "If I were to encounter such a thing, I would be embarrassed to death even if I wasn't angry. I definitely can't do something like paying for the share. I'll learn from you!"

Lu Mingfei's words were sincere, because in the dream story, he also encountered a similar situation. He wanted to confess to Chen Wenwen, but Zhao Menghua got there first, and he became the most humble background board... How could a loser care about his dignity? No matter whether Su Xiaoqiang really has a big heart or is deliberately keeping calm on the surface, his composure is worthy of admiration.

"It's quite embarrassing, so I decided not to hang myself on this crooked tree of yours." Su Xiaoqiang said half-jokingly, "Don't we still have Senior Brother Chu? Before you, Lu Mingfei, came out, Senior Brother Chu was the recognized lover of the crowd. You were just the second choice."

"But senior brother also has a girlfriend, she's incredibly beautiful, and she's also from our Kassel Academy." This time it was Lu Mingfei's turn to push, "Senior brother has been with his girlfriend for a year, longer than Eri and I, and he's brought her home to meet his parents several times, right? Auntie seems to like junior sister quite a lot, huh?"

"Fuck!" After a long silence, Su Xiaoqiang managed to say, "What's going on? In high school, you were all as pure as monks, but when you entered college, you suddenly became smart? The girls in our Shilan Middle School can't compare to the foreign students, right?"

"Love is something that always requires an opportunity." Chu Zihang is not as eloquent as Lu Mingfei, but he also has his own way of dealing with things... a straight man.

To put it nicely, it's blunt, to put it bluntly... men who talk about philosophy with girls are hopelessly stupid.

"Quality men will never lack pretty girls." Su Xiaoqiang leaned back in his chair, and this time he sighed with some frustration, "I am also a pretty girl, but why do I only meet scraps? When will God send me a quality man?"

"Yes, yes, our little angel is so outstanding, and the boy who is worthy of you has not appeared yet." Lu Mingfei encouraged.

"Lu Mingfei..." A familiar male voice came from behind Lu Mingfei, with a tone somewhere between anger and resentment.

Lu Mingfei turned his head and saw that the person who called his name was the one who was separated from him by Eri. Lu Mingfei looked at the face carefully and it took him a few seconds to recognize it.

"Zhao Menghua?" Lu Mingfei blinked. "When did you come?"

“I…” Zhao Menghua was about to lose his temper, but facing Lu Mingfei’s attitude, it was like punching cotton. “I’ve always been here!”

“Oh, oh, oh, I really didn’t notice you.” Lu Mingfei explained while looking Zhao Menghua up and down, “You’ve changed a lot!”

Zhao Menghua had changed so much that Lu Mingfei didn't recognize him. He used to wear school uniforms or sportswear, but today he was suddenly dressed in a suit and tie, a Sam Browne shirt with a Burberry trench coat on the outside, shiny Versace dungarees on his feet, and his hair was combed into a 3:7 slicked back style at the back of his head. He looked respectable and business-like, which was consistent with Lu Mingfei's impression of the elites who went in and out of high-end office buildings in the CBD area.

But it's really strange to say, Su Xiaoqiang has changed a lot. Today she is wearing a limited edition dress from Valentino, and Wolford stockings and Valentino rivet high heels on the lower body. Lu Mingfei didn't dare to look at her. She looked like a rich and strong woman who had entered the society, and she even had makeup on her face, but Lu Mingfei recognized her at a glance.

I didn’t notice you… Lu Mingfei spoke the truth, but the speaker was unintentional while the listener took it to heart. This sentence was like a knife stabbing into Zhao Menghua’s heart, and his eyes seemed to be spewing fire.

"Really? You look the same as before." Zhao Menghua secretly counterattacked Lu Mingfei, "I almost didn't recognize Su Xiaoqiang at first, but I recognized you at first sight. I didn't expect that you haven't changed much after getting married."

Zhao Menghua's meaning was very clear. Everyone had grown and transformed compared to high school, except Lu Mingfei, who had not made much progress after so long since graduation.

Chapter 938: Eri Recognized by the Little Angel

Zhao Menghua's words were full of sarcasm, and coupled with his slightly sarcastic tone, it could be considered a provocation to Lu Mingfei.

But Lu Mingfei seemed not to understand what Zhao Menghua meant. He was not angry or annoyed at all. Instead, he nodded in approval.

"It seems that I really haven't changed. When I met Chen Wenwen just now, she said exactly the same thing." Lu Mingfei muttered to himself.

Just this one sentence almost broke Zhao Menghua's heart.

Zhao Menghua said this to mock Lu Mingfei, but Chen Wenwen definitely couldn't have said this to mock Lu Mingfei!

The most important thing is that he and Chen Wenwen are now husband and wife. They said exactly the same things to Lu Mingfei, but they expressed completely different meanings... Zhao Menghua knew how much Chen Wenwen loved Lu Mingfei, and this had always been a knot in his heart, so when he called Lu Mingfei's name, his tone was so resentful, with a hint of hatred.

Because Lu Mingfei and Su Xiaoqiang mentioned Chen Wenwen when they were chatting just now. One said that Chen Wenwen left him a message, and the other said that Chen Wenwen was unfaithful to her husband. Zhao Menghua didn't know whether Lu Mingfei mentioned it intentionally or unintentionally, but to him who was sitting next to them, these words were even more harsh than the sound of nails scratching a blackboard.

If Chen Wenwen wasn't involved, Zhao Menghua would still be willing to treat Lu Mingfei as an old classmate and greet him properly, but they talked about his significant other like this in front of him... What's the difference between this and stepping on Zhao Menghua's head and shitting? Which man can tolerate such humiliation!

So Zhao Menghua took the initiative to attack. It was Lu Mingfei who provoked him first. He was not petty. If he did not do this, the most he could do was to fight back!

He thought it was a powerful counterattack, but Lu Mingfei's light words broke Zhao Menghua's defense, and Zhao Menghua had no way to refute or fight back.

It's not because of anything else, it's because Chen Wenwen really likes Lu Mingfei. Zhao Menghua knows it and feels uncomfortable but helpless. He and Chen Wenwen have quarreled over this issue more than once. In the end, either he turns around and leaves in anger, or Chen Wenwen runs away crying. Last year, after he joined the Catholic Church and cultivated his character, the quarrels have improved a lot.

Zhao Menghua can see through all the desires in the world, but he can't get rid of the shadow of Lu Mingfei. To him, this boy who has been superior to him in class since high school is a thorn in his side. He feels uncomfortable all over when he thinks of the three words "Lu Mingfei"... It's not because he looks down on Lu Mingfei, but because he can't catch up with Lu Mingfei.

This feeling is very strange, as if we have a lifelong enemy, which is in line with the old saying "If we have Yu, why do we have Liang?"

He, Zhao Menghua, is not as good as Chu Zihang, he admits that... but he is not as good as Lu Mingfei, he will not accept that no matter what!

Chen Wenwen likes Chu Zihang, so Zhao Menghua can tolerate it...but Chen Wenwen likes Lu Mingfei, so that's not possible!

"Your...wife is Japanese?" Su Xiaoqiang suddenly asked Lu Mingfei.

"Uesugi Erii, we Chinese wouldn't give ourselves such long names, right?" Lu Mingfei said.

"When will you change your habit of speaking nonsense all the time?" Su Xiaoqiang rolled his eyes, but he felt a sense of familiarity when he heard the long-lost Lu's nonsense. "Senior Brother Chu said that your wedding at Meiji Jingu should not be cheap, right?"

"I don't know. Eri's family is in charge of all the wedding arrangements." Lu Mingfei didn't know anything about the matter.

"Oh, your... your wife's family is well-off, right?" Su Xiaoqiang glanced at Eri and asked tentatively, "Because she looks very elegant. I remember seeing a wedding held at Meiji Jingu Shrine before. You can't get an appointment without connections, right?"

"Well...Eri's family has quite a few connections in Japan." Lu Mingfei said ambiguously.

"How much does it matter?" Su Xiaoqiang asked persistently.

"For the rehearsal before the wedding, her brother booked the Meiji Shrine for a week." Chu Zihang answered for Lu Mingfei.

"Meiji Shrine? Private booking? For a week?" Su Xiaoqiang widened his eyes, as if he still couldn't connect these words together.

Su Xiaoqiang's family is already one of the top families in this city. His father is also a well-known wealthy entrepreneur in the local area. His family owns a mine, so Su Xiaoqiang has lacked nothing since childhood. It is natural for her to be raised to have the character of a little angel, because things that most ordinary people in this world can hardly get, she can get them with just a wave of her hand.

But booking the Meiji Shrine for a whole night... She didn't know what that meant, but Su Xiaoqiang could imagine that this kind of thing couldn't be done just by having money, right? Powerful families in Japan might be able to borrow the Meiji Shrine's venue through connections, but booking that place for a week... wouldn't that be like having your own backyard?

It's like someone booked the Statue of Liberty in the United States and held a party at the foot of the statue for a whole week. Neither the president nor members of Congress have such a right, right?

Su Xiaoqiang lay on the back of the chair, looking at the lights on the ceiling of the conference room, feeling dizzy. This was the first time that the little angel had suffered such a blow, by this girl she met for the first time.

She couldn't compare in looks, she couldn't compare in temperament, and even her family background, which she had never been willing to talk about, couldn't compare to Lu Mingfei's attitude... Not to mention, he was already married, but he didn't even bother to reply to her messages on QQ.

Lost, lost completely, miserably.

Su Xiaoqiang had never experienced such a feeling of defeat in her life.

"Alas...what can I do?" Su Xiaoqiang sighed, his tone somewhere between helplessness and reluctance, "There is no other way, I can only give up."

"Give up a crooked tree and own the whole forest." Lu Mingfei wanted to pat Su Xiaoqiang on the shoulder, but he felt that this was too intimate, so he just waved his hand, "This is a good thing. If you were defeated by such a small thing, you would not be the little goddess I know."

"That's right. As long as I want to find a man, I can find any man I want." Su Xiaoqiang raised her eyebrows, and her expression regained her former arrogance. "If there's no Lu Mingfei, don't we still have Chu Mingfei and Zhao Mingfei? If there's no Chu Zihang, don't we still have Lu Zihang and Zhao Zihang? If there's no Zhao Menghua, don't we still have Lu Menghua and Chu Menghua? In the future, the man I, Su Xiaoqiang, will find will definitely be no worse than anyone else!"

“You are putting it here to arrange the combinations…” Lu Mingfei couldn’t help but complain.

"Sakura's classmate is so awesome." Eri looked at Su Xiaoqiang's high spirits and praised him sincerely.

"Really?" Su Xiaoqiang also heard it. Suddenly, being praised by Eri, she revealed a surprised expression. "I've been wanting to say this for a long time. You're really beautiful! I don't know what kind of idiotic luck Lu Mingfei had to have such a beautiful wife. I've never seen a girl with your temperament in China. I don't blame you at all for losing to me. I think if they see you, Chen Wenwen, Liu Miaomiao, and the others will have to give up."

"Can you please stop mentioning Chen Wenwen..." Zhao Menghua on the side said softly.

"By the way, Senior Brother." No one paid any attention to Zhao Menghua. Lu Mingfei looked at Chu Zihang and asked, "Didn't we agree to meet at the school gate? Why did you come in without telling me?"

"I arrived twenty minutes early. When I was waiting for you at the school gate, I met Liu Miaomiao." Chu Zihang explained, "She said the school was holding a school celebration and asked if I was coming to participate. I said I was waiting for someone here. She said there was a red banner of mine hanging in the school and repeatedly invited me to come in. The guard thought someone was harassing girls at the school gate, so he came over to inquire and informed the school, and the principal and others came."

Lu Mingfei could completely imagine the rest of the situation. As an outstanding graduate, the principal would definitely invite Chu Zihang warmly. Given Chu Zihang's personality, if it was an invitation from a classmate, he would probably just refuse it outright. But it was difficult to refuse an invitation from the principal. After entering the school, he would probably be pestered all the time and would have no time to send messages to himself.

Or maybe after Chu Zihang entered the school, he saw Lu Mingfei's red banner and thought that if Lu Mingfei came, he would be invited in and receive the same treatment as him, so he just waited here quietly for Lu Mingfei.

They didn't know that today was the school anniversary. They somehow became the protagonists. There was no way to escape, so they just had to make the best of it.

"Brother, did you miss something? When Liu Miaomiao saw you, her first reaction wasn't to invite you to school, right?" Su Xiaoqiang suddenly said, "She first asked you how you were doing recently, then mentioned your previous New Year's Eve performance intentionally or unintentionally, trying to get close to you, and finally asked indirectly whether you had a girlfriend in the United States."

Chu Zihang remained silent because Su Xiaoqiang had hit the nail on the head.

"How do you know so much?" Lu Mingfei looked at Su Xiaoqiang in surprise and asked curiously, "Were you peeking from the side?"

"Do you need to peek at this?" Su Xiaoqiang snorted coldly, "It was like this in high school. One was Chen Wenwen, the other was Liu Miaomiao. As soon as they lifted their butts, I knew which way they were going to step."

“As soon as the butt is raised, you know it’s time to poop…” Perhaps because he felt the language was not very polite, Lu Mingfei stopped in time.

"Do you really have to take Chen Wenwen with you..." Zhao Menghua was almost going crazy.

After giving the old classmates enough time to reminisce about the past, the principal saw that the time was almost up, so he drank a whole cup of tea and coughed lightly twice.

"Ahem, today is a day worth celebrating. It's the 50th anniversary of Shilan Middle School. All those who have contributed to the school have returned to their alma mater." The principal's eyes swept over the crowd. "I can feel your love for your alma mater. You are all ambitious and accomplished young people. I'm glad you're back today. Shilan Middle School is proud of you!"

The dean and other school leaders burst into warm applause, and Lu Mingfei and his friends followed suit.

I was tricked by Su Enxi. I donated this and that to the school in my name and even set up a foundation. But what contribution did my senior brother make to the school? Did he win awards in basketball games and academic competitions in high school? Was it necessary to celebrate these honors from my student days with such fanfare?

However, the principal's next words answered Lu Mingfei's doubts.

The principal first mentioned Chu Zihang, then talked about Su Xiaoqiang and Zhao Menghua... He did not talk about their student days, but said that their parents had made indelible contributions to the development of Shilan Middle School.

In a nutshell, when Shilan Middle School was in great need of funds, these parents of students from well-off families paid for the school.

The principal also specifically expressed his apologies to Su Xiaoqiang and Zhao Menghua, because the money donated to the school came from their families, and it was not easy to put such things on the red banners. The red banners for Chu Zihang and Lu Mingfei were mainly to publicize their excellent grades, good qualities, and contributions to the school.

Su Xiaoqiang waved her hands and said it didn't matter. She had become the legal representative of the family company anyway. When donating money in the future, it would be her name that would be signed instead of her father's. When putting up the red banner next year, remember to hang her between Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang.

Not to be outdone, Zhao Menghua said that he would be promoted to manager of the company next month, that he would not inherit his father's company, and that his future achievements would be no worse than anyone else's.

The principal smiled happily and said that everyone was a rare talent, the elite of society. Their Shilan Middle School had produced so many promising students, which was the most fulfilling thing in his life... It could be seen that the old man was really happy. After Su Xiaoqiang and Zhao Menghua expressed their happiness, he smiled from ear to ear. The way he looked at Su Xiaoqiang and the others was like a local gentry looking at his bulging wallets.

Finally, the principal singled out Lu Mingfei for special praise... No, it cannot be called praise, it should be said to be praise, or even eulogy... The old fellow, who was quite talented in writing, even read a poem for Lu Mingfei, comparing him to a great man who had shone through the ages.

Lu Mingfei waved his hands and shook his head, saying that the principal was speaking too kindly.

The principal solemnly said that it was not an exaggeration at all. The students did not forget their roots and missed their alma mater, which was a beautiful quality, but the school should never forget the efforts and contributions of the students… I heard that Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang were the most famous and well-reputed among the students, and they were always at the top of some list. For this reason, the school specially built two statues in the shape of the two of them in front of the playground, to let these most outstanding alumni know that the school always remembered their kindness and that the school would reward their efforts!

Lu Mingfei was speechless. He thought that the thing he had just seen looked familiar and weird. He was holding the globe while his senior was holding the triangle ruler, and they were looking at each other with full affection... The person who came up with this idea was definitely a genius!

With a "puff", Eri beside her couldn't help but giggle.

"Eri, you've figured it out a long time ago, haven't you?" Lu Mingfei looked at Eri with some helplessness in his eyes.

"I just think she looks a bit like her, but not as pretty as Sakura." Eri said seriously.

"Eri has learned bad things." Lu Mingfei curled his lips.

Then the principal took the opportunity to introduce the other people at the conference table. Except for the senior and backbone members of the school, everyone else present was a member of the Shilan Middle School Foundation.

They were sitting here before Lu Mingfei came in. Lu Mingfei then noticed that some of these guys had blond hair and blue eyes, some had dark skin and brown hair, and they were all foreigners.

Chapter 939: Troublesome Graduate

The principal smiled brightly and said that Shilan Middle School has indeed improved and its reputation has spread abroad, attracting so many capable foreign investment experts.

Lu Mingfei felt something was wrong, because a middle school, no matter how famous it was, was just a school. How could it attract so many investors, all of whom were foreigners?

Shilan Middle School is not Kassel College. A number of big families such as the Gattuso family and the Beowulf family invested in Kassel College because they themselves are dragon-slaying families. Kassel College is the face of the Secret Party and also their common asset. It can act as their spokesperson to handle situations where they are not convenient to show up. It is also the sharpest spear in their hands to stab the dragon clan.

But what return can one get from investing in Shilan Middle School? Lu Mingfei couldn't figure it out. Excellent students? Good learning atmosphere? Or advanced educational concepts?

The principal of Shilan Middle School said that he introduced the education model from New Zealand and other foreign countries, which means that foreign countries have better education methods, right? So why would these foreigners go to such a far place to invest in a middle school with almost no return?

Lu Mingfei also noticed that the principal used the word "investment expert"... For some reason, Lu Mingfei suddenly thought of one of the world's top investment experts, who was also his friend. Mr. Lu Mingfei could sit here thanks to that friend.

Lu Mingfei thought of a possibility, otherwise this situation would be too coincidental.

Thinking of this, Lu Mingfei's eyes slowly swept over those foreign investors... Everyone, when Lu Mingfei's eyes fell on them, everyone present here, more or less had eye contact with Lu Mingfei.

Lu Mingfei became more certain of his guess. So that was the case... Although Lu Mingfei hadn't figured out Su Enxi's intention, it seemed that the other party was not just wasting his money.

The principal said a lot, but to sum it up, Shilan Middle School is very, very grateful for everyone's efforts. The school is also honored to have trained such a group of outstanding graduates. I believe that everyone will achieve something in the future, and their achievements will definitely be no less than those of their parents. Shilan Middle School's tomorrow will surely be better than today, its popularity will surely grow, its student base will surely become wider and wider, and its development prospects will be limitless. If you still consider contributing to the school, the school will definitely give you the utmost sincerity in return.

It cannot be said to be moral kidnapping. The principal's words and deeds at this moment are more like a businessman. Praising the other party, describing the blueprint, and promising returns. This is the standard routine of a businessman, but the principal's purpose is not to make money... The benefit in his eyes is the future development of the school. The reward he can give to Su Enxi and Zhao Menghua is not money and wealth, but the glory that Shilan Middle School can give them to the best of its ability.

After the principal finished his speech, the loud speaker outside the door sounded, and the public address system in the broadcasting room carried the sound to every corner of Shilan Middle School.

"Hello, classmates and parents! Today is the 50th anniversary of the establishment of Shilan Middle School. It is also the first year of the reform of Shilan Middle School. It is the most memorable day! There are graduates and students here. No matter where you are in the future, Shilan Middle School will always be your home and the harbor you most miss! Today, on this grand and festive day, we are very happy and honored to invite the two most outstanding graduates of the class of 2010, Chu Zihang and Lu Mingfei. Please gather in the playground to listen to their life after graduation and their deep feelings for their alma mater!"

Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang looked at each other, both of them were dumbfounded.

Why is there this part? It was not mentioned beforehand... No, what beforehand? They were not originally here to attend the school celebration! They just arranged to meet at the school gate, and happened to run into this kind of thing. They were confused and were pulled in by the principal to thank him. They thought they could leave after dealing with it, but why did they have to make a speech! None of them were prepared. There are so many students and parents today. Their names are posted in the most conspicuous place in the school. Everyone knows them. With so many eyes staring at them, how embarrassing is this scene?
