Chapter 16: Class Reunion (1)

Editor: Atlas Studios

"Forget it. I'm not as close to him as you are either, so I'll quit this guessing game with you," Bai Ye said before stubbing out his cigarette and yawning.

Then, he added, "I'm going back to shower and sleep now. Let me tell you how I had to take advantage of numerous loopholes in the law and dispel much of my conscience in order to draft that outrageous contract. It was just the pits."

"So, it turns out that the great Lawyer Bai actually has some form of a conscience?"

Bai Ye smiled thinly and said, "I still have some left, okay?"

He hung up and threw the cigarette butt into the trash can.

When he passed by Luo Nanchu's ward, he chanced upon her signing the contract with a lowered head.

Bai Ye stopped in his tracks and shot a glance at Fu Tingyuan.

The man looked expressionless while emanating a unique, proud, and frosty aura.

He did not pretend to be someone else in front of Luo Nanchu anymore.

Frankly speaking, Bai Ye really could not understand what Fu Tingyuan was thinking.

Bai Ye was certain that Fu Tingyuan hated Luo Nanchu.

However, why did Fu Tingyuan force her to sign such a contract if he hated her? To tie his enemy down and force her to spend the rest of her life with him was not something that a normal person would do.

Xiao Fengting was right. Fu Tingyuan was definitely cuckoo in the head.

Luo Nanchu stayed in the hospital for a month. After the wound on her abdomen had scarred over, Fu Tingyuan sent someone to bring her to a villa situated halfway up a mountainside.

Even though the villa was decorated lavishly, there were few helpers around, and the help only consisted of a single old butler and domestic helpers in charge of preparing food and other daily needs.

The old butler brought her upstairs. Guiding her into a bedroom, he told her that she would be staying here in the future.

"Please feel free to request anything you need. I will get the chauffeur to get it from the city."

"It's alright. Thank you. This is good enough." Luo Nanchu smiled.

It was impossible to complain about this north-facing, brightly-lit bedroom when she had previously stayed in a basement for half a year.

It seemed that Fu Tingyuan wasn't so perverted that he would deprive her of her basic needs.

Luo Nanchu wanted to take a shower and then go to bed. After entering the room, a question seemed to pop into her head, and she turned around to ask, "What time does Mr. Fu usually return?"

The old butler replied respectfully, "Mr. Fu does not stay here often."

Upon hearing this, Luo Nanchu's eyebrows twitched in astonishment.

So she was a woman being locked up in a magnificent house by Fu Tingyuan?

Right now, Bai Zhiyan should still be living with him as his girlfriend. Luo Nanchu wondered how Bai Zhiyan would feel if she found out that he was keeping Luo Nanchu in this villa.

Indeed, Fu Tingyuan did not come by the villa often.

At the very least, she had not seen him once during her weeklong stay here.

She was getting more and more curious about the reason why that man drew up such a contract for her.

Right now, he seemed to have forgotten her. It was as if he would never return after throwing her out here.

Naturally, Luo Nanchu felt happy and carefree.

She was going to enjoy the freedom she had before he came up with some perverted way to abuse her.

The sun shone happily.

Luo Nanchu was lying on her bed on her stomach and playing computer games.

The computer beeped with an MSN notification.

Luo Nanchu looked at the profile picture. It was sent by her high school classmate.

[Nanchu, are you coming to the class reunion tomorrow?]

The person who sent her the message was her monitress in high school.

Luo Nanchu rarely attended school when she was in high school, so she wasn't familiar with her classmates. Thus, she couldn't imagine why she was still being invited to a class reunion after having graduated years ago already.

This made her a little surprised.

[No, I have something going on.]

[Don't be like that, Student Luo. We all haven't seen each other in such a long time. Just come and chat with us.]

Luo Nanchu cupped her chin as she looked at the computer screen. She couldn't help but laugh.

She wouldn't believe it if none of her high school classmates didn't already know that the Luo family had gone bankrupt.

Since the monitress was so zealous in her invitation, it was impossible to counter it anymore.

Luo Nanchu replied aloofly, [I'll consider it.]

[What is there to consider? Everyone in our class is very eager to meet you. You have to come tomorrow.]

[Alright, I can't decline such fervency. I'll squeeze out some time tomorrow.], Luo Nanchu replied. She affected reluctance.

After a long pause from the monitress, she finally sent a smiley and typed, [I'll tell our class then. You have to come tomorrow.]

Luo Nanchu sent a smiley face back.

The monitress' profile picture dimmed as she went offline.

Luo Nanchu propped her chin up as she lay on her stomach on the bed. Did her classmates think she was an easy target now? She pondered a little suspiciously.

These high school classmates should be the people who knew her best…

It might have been a coincidence, but Dark Night was the location for the class reunion.

After applying some makeup, Nanchu subsequently arrived at the location with waning enthusiasm.

She walked toward the booth number that the monitress had given her. From afar, she saw a young woman standing outside the door. The young woman's eyes lit up upon seeing her, and she rushed forward with a grin.

"Student Luo, you're here! Everyone's been waiting for you for some time!" The monitress gave a very warm welcome.

Nanchu avoided her outstretched arm unobtrusively and pushed back the stray strands of hair by her cheeks.

Smiling lightly, she said, "My apologies. There was a slight traffic jam on the way."

Her made-up face looked elegant and charming under the hazy lights. Even though the monitress was full of smiles, there was a darkness in her gaze.

She opened the door to invite Luo Nanchu in. The rather large booth contained about 30 people, and Nanchu swept a glance over them through narrowed eyes.

Oh wow, practically the entire class was here.

Upon her entrance, everyone in the large booth fell silent as all of their attention turned toward her.

Luo Nanchu did not think this rude, but walked inside with a smile.

A female classmate waved her over beamingly and offered, "Student Luo, come sit by me."

Luo Nanchu observed her face. She must have done some plastic surgery. If not for Luo Nanchu's great memory, she would not have recognized her.

The plastic face of the female classmate smiled tenderly before saying, "You probably don't remember me, Student Luo. I'm Xu Linlin—sound familiar?"

Luo Nanchu propped up her face with a hand and shot a look over before smiling slightly and apologizing, "My apologies. I don't have a good memory, so I don't remember you."

The smile on Xu Linlin's plastic face froze. Qin Su had been dubbed the school beauty at X High School and had competed with Luo Nanchu for the title of beauty of the year. However, after losing by a single vote, Qin Su had painstakingly waited for Luo Nanchu to finally attend school before discussing a re-vote. When she could finally broach the subject, Luo Nanchu merely lifted her head up from her desk and shot her a non-smile.

"You're so childish," she had said. Her tone had been so sarcastic that Xu Linlin had never been able to forget it to this day.

The first round of the beauty contest had naturally been spontaneously organized by their own classmates, but Xu Linlin, who had been known for her good looks since she was little, could not reconcile herself with the results. She could take losing to Qin Su perfectly fine, but was extremely unwilling to have lost to Luo Nanchu. She didn't think that she was any less beautiful than Luo Nanchu, so what right did Luo Nanchu have to one-up her?

Her loss had followed her for three whole years, and by the third year of high school, she was completely living under the shadows of Qin Su and Luo Nanchu. The top position in the realm of academics went to the monitress, but the top position in the realm of beauty was not hers. She had totally existed as a nondescript character.

All these years, Xu Linlin had thought that Luo Nanchu was the cause of all her unhappiness in high school.

Thus, she immediately decided to bring her boyfriend to the class reunion when the monitress mentioned that Luo Nanchu would be attending.
