947 Perplexed and Smitten 7 (1/2)
The next thing they knew, An Xiaoning had picked up a newly-opened bottle of liquor and poured the expensive liquor over the male classmate's head, completely drenching him.
”Have you sobered up yet?” she questioned.
The male classmate wiped the alcohol off his face, feeling much more sobered up.
He frantically nodded.
”You were spouting such outrageous rubbish after drinking the liquor that we bought. What a waste. I know clearly whether or not I'm a clean woman. Must I still report to you specifically? Stop being thick-skinned and calling Qingyan your buddy. He doesn't have a buddy like you. Don't go around spreading nonsense,” An Xiaoning said with a sarcastic smile, after which she slammed the empty bottle of liquor down onto the coffee table with a loud, crisp sound.
Trying to ease the tension of the situation, the female monitor said tactfully, ”Ms. An, don't bother stooping to his level. He's always been known to speak without thinking. He only spouted those nonsensical and unfiltered words because he had a bit too much to drink. Don't take it to heart.”
”I wouldn't take it to heart. There are a countless number of netizens online who make such comments too. Wouldn't I be extremely busy and upset if I let every comment affect me?”
Jin Qingyan stood up and held onto An Xiaoning's hand before saying to his former classmates, ”You guys go ahead and enjoy yourselves. We're taking our leave.”
The female monitor began to panic and quickly said, ”Jin Qingyan, you've only arrived a while ago. Stay a little longer. We've yet to catch up with you properly.”
”Nah, just have fun on your own. Bill's on me.”
He walked away without another word.
”Wait a minute. I'm leaving too,” said He Yi, who rose from his seat.
Seeing that the three of them were about to leave, several other classmates followed suit, no longer in the mood to continue with the gathering.
The bunch of them left the venue. He Yi took out his car key and unlocked his Porsche, which was parked at a distance away from where they were standing. The female monitor asked, ”He Yi, is that your car?”
”Yes,” he answered.
Another male classmate had recognized his car to be a sports car and said, ”That cost you at least six to seven million dollars, didn't it? What an excellent car.”
He Yi smiled and said, ”It's alright.”
”Wen Lele, you were just criticizing He Yi back in there. See, he's secretly loaded. He's nothing like what you said at all.”
Wen Lele pursed her lips, completely at a loss for words. He Yi allowed his actions to do the talking, causing her to feel like she had gotten a tight slap on her face.
A painful one at that.
”Mr. He, you must come down to Wei Ni Estate tomorrow. Qingyan and I will be waiting for you at home,” said An Xiaoning.
”Alright, I'll be there for sure.”
After An Xiaoning and Jin Qingyan got inside the car, Jin Qingyan revved up the engine and said, ”Had I known earlier, I wouldn't have come.”
”All because of what your male classmate said?”
”I don't like hearing others criticize you in front of me. They don't know a thing at all. They have no idea how wonderful you are.”
An Xiaoning's mood was instantly lifted. She chuckled and said, ”Why do you bother getting upset over his words? Let him say whatever he wants. We don't have the right to control what others say, but we have the freedom to refrain from socializing with them.”
He drove away from the venue.
Upon arriving home, Jin Qingyan proceeded to the dressing room to open the large cardboard box. An Xiaoning swiftly stopped him and said, ”Go take a shower, I'll show you after you're done.”
”Just what is it?”
