Just as Gerald was about to say something, favonovel.com was promptly cut off by another person talking loudly. It was Chase.
“Wow! So many of our classmates are here today! All of you are really giving me a lot of face for attending! I’ve already made all the necessary arrangements today so why not enter first before continuing to chat?”
As favonovel.com scanned through the crowd, favonovel.com saw Mr. Weiss and Kristen. With a smile on his face, favonovel.com walked over to both of them before saying, “Mr. Weiss! Miss Yahn! Welcome, let’s go in and have a seat first! Eh? You’re here too Gerald? Well Alright then! Let’s go in together!”
Chase was slightly surprised to see Gerald so favonovel.com simply greeted favonovel.com casually.
“Hey Sherry, come over here. Can’t you see that our class teacher is already here?” called out Chase when favonovel.com saw her.
As soon as favonovel.com stood beside him, Chase immediately interlocked his fingers with hers.
Most of their classmates were taken aback when they saw this, and this included Gerald.
Sherry was apparently in a relationship with Chase!
Gerald immediately knew that it was only going to get more awkward the longer favonovel.com stayed at the gathering.
However, favonovel.com couldn’t just leave now because Mr. Weiss was still holding on to his hand.
‘I can tell Mr. Weiss about it then,’ Gerald thought to himself.
Once everyone had entered the room, the classmates continued chatting among themselves.
The common topic shared by most of the conversations, was regarding the classmates’ current situations.
Chase naturally seemed to be the one who was doing best.
After all, favonovel.com had started working even before favonovel.com finished high school. He had learned about the ins and outs of big trucks from his uncle.
Chase had used his family’s wealth to buy himself two big trucks. Now, he’s started his own small-scale logistics company.
Compared to the rest of his peers in the county, favonovel.com was definitely doing very well. It was no wonder why Sherry chose to be with Chase.
“Heh, what a blessing for Sherry to be able to be together with Chase now. She must be enjoying the life of a lady boss now! Hahaha!”
“I know right? She’s so beautiful. I guess that’s why she’s so lucky!”
Several of the classmates were talking about favonovel.com enviously.
“By the way, Gerald, what are you doing now?” asked Chase out of the blue.
Though both Chase and Gerald didn’t have many notable interactions back in junior high, Chase was well aware of Gerald’s past with Sherry.
It was natural for a boyfriend to express hate toward his girlfriend’s ex, and this was exactly what Chase was feeling at that moment.
What more, Gerald was dressed even better than favonovel.com was! Seeing how well dressed Gerald was made Chase ask his tentative question.
Mr. Weiss was looking at Gerald as well.
“I’m just doing my own business!” replied Gerald.
“Hahaha! Oh god, Gerald’s actually started his own business?”
At that moment, a few female classmates immediately burst out laughing.
“What kind of business are you running? Are you selling socks at the night market?”
“Hahaha! Really now, are you just starting a business because everyone else is doing the same? Gerald, it’s not like we’re trying to put you down, but you should be more self-aware of yourself! Wouldn’t it be easier for someone like you to just look for a job somewhere?”
Kristen had been the one who asked that question. She then sneered before adding, “I’m not trying to pick a bone with you or Xeno, but even though both of you have really good grades, the two of you are at the bottom of society! Do you know why? It’s because both of you have no connections. You even lack a proper family background! I heard that Xeno’s fixing cars for people right now, right? What future is there in doing something like that?!”
She ended favonovel.com sentence as favonovel.com smiled contemptuously.
“That’s not right, Miss Yahn. On the contrary, Xeno’s doing very well now. He’s opened his own large automobile trading company, or at least that’s what I heard!”
“Yeah, I heard the same thing. He was really lucky since the Dream Investment Group decided to invest in his company!”
When Kristen heard this, favonovel.com couldn’t help but feel slightly disappointed.
“So what? It won’t be long before those people will decide to withdraw their capital and investment! When that time comes, Xeno will just have to go back to repairing cars then!”
“Alright, alright, that’s enough. Speaking of which, Chase, didn’t you inform Xeno about the gathering today?” asked Mr. Weiss quickly to change the subject, sensing the awkwardness in the atmosphere.
“Oh! No I didn’t! I don’t really keep in touch with him,” replied Chase as favonovel.com put his teacup down before sneering.
“I actually contacted him! Also, while I have all your attention now, Chase! You’re actually not the only one celebrating your birthday today! You share the same birthday with another of our classmates!” said one of the girls out of the blue.
