Fang Yuan responded with a smile, “Something Elder Miss Tang thinks is good must indeed be exquisite.”
Tang Nan sent a voice message, “Are you available tonight? Qiao Bei has opened a new club and invited us to show our support. It’s free! This is a great opportunity. Shouldn’t we take advantage of it?”
Fang Yuan replied, “Sure, count me in.”
Tang Nan continued, “Great, 1’11 pick you up tonight. Please share your location.”
After sending the WeChat message, Fang Yuan turned to Bo Yi, who was beside her, and said, “I have plans for tonight, so 1 need to head home early.”
“Of course,” Bo Yi responded, concern evident in his gentle gaze. He assumed it was a family matter and readily agreed.
Meanwhile, Fang Jiayi’s classmates had already shared the details of their gathering in the group chat. The venue was a newly opened high-end club called Spring Day Club. They decided on this upscale location to experience the luxury it offered and, perhaps, to cross paths with an affluent heir.
Earlier in the evening, Fang Jiayi had taken a shower and put on her finest attire. She had refrained from eating much for dinner in an effort to maintain a flat stomach. Now, as she descended the spiral staircase at home, she wore an elegant fishtail dress and adorned herself with expensive jewelry around her neck, wrists, and ears. Her hair was carefully styled into a bun, accentuating her refined and charming appearance.
Even the household staff couldn’t help but be awed by her beauty as they exclaimed, “Miss Jiayi, you look absolutely stunning!”
Lu Chen, who had come to pick her up, was also taken aback. He had never expected that Jiayi could exude such elegance when dressed up. Despite her usually timid disposition, she appeared both gentle and alluring after her transformation, with a touch of playfulness in her demeanor.
“Lu Chen, you’re here?” Fang Jiayi’s voice took on a softer tone as she approached him, reaching out to hold his arm.
Lu Chen’s heart melted. The recent distance between them had vanished, replaced by tenderness and concern. “Are you ready to go?”
“Mm,” Fang Jiayi also sensed the change in him and was aware that her newfound beauty had captivated him. Playfully, she asked, “Lu Chen, if my classmates inquire later whether you’re my boyfriend or fiance, how should 1 introduce you?”
Lu Chen replied with a smile, “Definitely as my fiance!”
“But my aunt doesn’t seem too pleased with me,” Fang Jiayi said with a hint of dejection, her long eyelashes lowering. “If there are any changes in the future, 1 might become the subject of ridicule among my classmates…”
Lu Chen reassured her, “Don’t worry, 1’11 handle my mother’s concerns. Your happiness is what matters most.”
Fang Liguo and Song Ling, who had been eavesdropping nearby, couldn’t help but smile at this heartfelt exchange and decided to reveal themselves.
Song Ling chimed in, “Chen, we believe in your genuine feelings for Jiayi. Jiayi, don’t overthink it. Chen means what he says, and your future will be just fine.”
Fang Liguo added, “Hurry up and head to the class reunion!”
Fang Jiayi beamed with joy as she clung to Lu Chen’s arm, occasionally brushing her chest against his arm.
Lu Chen felt the softness against his arm, and though his face reddened, he welcomed the touch without hesitation.
Outside the Spring Day Club, a small group of fellow students had gathered, anxiously awaiting Fang Jiayi’s arrival. They were eager to catch a glimpse of the car she would arrive in and the appearance of her boyfriend…
Their excitement grew as a silver Porsche 911 pulled up, causing their eyes to widen in amazement. This car must be worth a fortune!
Under the watchful eyes of her classmates, Lu Chen gracefully stepped out of the driver’s seat and kindly assisted Fang Jiayi in opening the passenger door, holding her hand in the process.
“Wow! It’s Fang Jiayi!”
“Sister, you’re finally here!”
“It’s been a while since our last meeting. You’ve changed so much!”
“Your dress is absolutely stunning!”
“And those jewelry pieces, they’re exquisite!”
“How much did that necklace cost?”
A group of girls surrounded Fang Jiayi, vying for her attention.
Lu Chen closed the car door and handed the keys to the valet. He greeted everyone with a polite smile.
“Hello, I’m Lu Chen, Jiayi’s fiance.” He stood tall and exuded handsomeness, his voice carrying a pleasant tone that showcased his impeccable upbringing.
The girls couldn’t help but exclaim, “You’re already engaged?”
“He’s incredibly handsome…”
“Jiayi, you’re so fortunate. Your fiance is a real catch!”
Not only was he good-looking, but he also drove a Porsche 911! Who would have guessed that since Jiayi had returned to her family, not only had her standard of living improved significantly, but her fiance was also exceptionally impressive. Her life seemed too good to be true!
“Jiayi, I heard your fiance is studying at the top university in Jing City. He’s truly outstanding, isn’t he?”
“He’s just a freshman, and he already knows how to drive?”
“Jiayi, I’m so envious of you…”
Several girls surrounded her as they entered the club, while the remaining two or three girls gathered around Lu Chen, trying to win his favor..
