The Urban Medical Martial Immortal

Chapter 1442: Chapter 1435: Roaring Laughter (Seventh Update)

Under the mediation of Chen Busong, the atmosphere seemed somewhat harmonious on the surface.

The displeasure from a moment ago was somewhat diluted amidst the clinking of glasses.

”Teacher, everyone, I apologize for not coming over right away earlier!”

At this moment, a gentle and refined voice sounded from the side.

Two figures stepped to the front of the table.

It was a man and a woman.

The young man’s hair was neatly combed, and with his perfectly tailored suit along with that handsome face, he appeared extremely spirited and handsome.

The woman following along held the young man’s arm. She was in a pure white evening gown, with her long hair draped over her shoulders, making her look extremely elegant.

”Zhang Gai!”

”Meimei!”

Seeing them appear, everyone except Chen Busong hurriedly stood up, raised their glasses, and greeted them with smiles.

Of course, Lin Tian did not stand up.

From what he heard from the group, Lin Tian learned that this young man before him was Zhang Gai, the owner of the winery here.

And the woman holding his arm was his girlfriend, Zeng Meimei.

Like Shi Lan and others, Zeng Meimei and Zhang Gai were also university classmates.

”Xiao Lan, you’re here too!”

Zhang Gai’s gaze fell on Shi Lan, looking somewhat helpless as he forced a smile.

Back in college, he pursued Shi Lan passionately, doing all he could.

The whole college knew about their affair.

Unfortunately, Shi Lan continuously rejected Zhang Gai’s advances during that time.

For these few years, Zhang Gai has always been unable to let go of not being able to win over Shi Lan.

”Zhang Gai, congratulations on the opening of your winery, may business flourish!”

Shi Lan raised her glass with a graceful smile to congratulate him.

Her words were just polite and a common congratulations among classmates, nothing more.

Zhang Gai’s eyes flashed with a hint of displeasure.

”Hmph!”

But a delicate hum sounded. Zeng Meimei forcefully tugged at Zhang Gai’s arm, then looked at Shi Lan and said, ”Shi Lan, long time no see! But you didn’t even look at me when you arrived and went on to chat so warmly with Zhang Gai? That’s not very nice!”

”Meimei, she and I, it’s all in the past!”

Zhang Gai furrowed his brows lightly, shook his head and said.

”Yes, it’s all in the past! Zhang Gai is a good person, but I wasn’t the one for him!”

Shi Lan smiled calmly and said, ”Wishing you both well!”

”Are you really genuinely wishing us well? I hope you don’t regret it in your heart! Don’t think about having any lingering connections with Zhang Gai! If I find out, you won’t have it easy!”

Zeng Meimei’s voice suddenly turned cold, her gaze at Shi Lan filled with resentment.

Back in college, she was the one chasing after Zhang Gai, but in the end, Zhang Gai was fervently pursuing Shi Lan, making her somewhat a laughingstock.

Although she and Zhang Gai have now come together smoothly, she still harbors grudges against Shi Lan.

”However...”

Zeng Meimei glanced at Shi Lan and then at Lin Tian, who was wearing a similar style of clothing, and said, ”Looks like you’re doing quite well now, wearing such expensive clothes, and you’ve found yourself a young boyfriend!”

Beside them, Zhang Gai’s face darkened a bit as he looked at Lin Tian with a hostile expression.

Although he no longer had the intention of winning Shi Lan over at all costs, seeing the girl he liked with someone else made an inexplicable anger rise in his heart.

He even felt something green emerging above his head.

Actually, men are quite strange this way; what they cannot have, others having it makes them extremely displeased!

”Tch... With their appearance, how are they doing well?”

Gao Xiaoxiao scoffed, her face full of disdain and contempt.

”Xiaoxiao, what do you mean by that?”

Zeng Meimei asked in confusion, surprised.

Meanwhile, several people at the table were already covering their mouths, stifling laughs.

”What do I mean? It means they’re both just poor!”

Gao Xiaoxiao sneered coldly as she told Zeng Meimei about them renting the clothes.

Of course, she deduced this from Lin Tian not removing the tag from the clothes.

But everyone present already believed it.

Zhang Gai and Zeng Meimei were both momentarily stunned.

”You rented these clothes?”

Zeng Meimei opened her mouth slightly, looking at Shi Lan in disbelief, with a face full of amusement.

Instead, Zhang Gai’s previously unpleasant expression relaxed.

Coming to attend his banquet, and even renting clothes, Zhang Gai instantly didn’t regard Lin Tian seriously at all.

With someone so poor, even if Shi Lan really did marry him, he had hundreds of ways to poach her!

”We didn’t rent them!”

Shi Lan took a deep breath and said coldly.

”Shi Lan, it really doesn’t matter, even if you rented them we wouldn’t think much of it!”

Zeng Meimei’s smile became more pronounced as she said, ”I’m just sorry you ended up with such a useless man! But, it’s your fate, there’s nothing more to say!”

Even though Zeng Meimei said this with a smile, the sarcasm in her words was obvious to anyone, extremely frank!

Shi Lan bit her silver teeth, her face extremely unpleasant.

Lin Tian was taken aback, looked up, and said indifferently, ”Wearing a dazzling exterior, but inside, a heart as malicious as a viper! Whether the clothes are rented or not, how we live, what’s it to you?”

With those words, the expressions of everyone changed.

”What did you say?”

Zeng Meimei’s face turned angry as she shouted.

Zhang Gai’s face was also unpleasant as he said, ”Kid, watch your words! For Shi Lan’s sake, I’m letting it slide this time!”

”Zhang Gai, this kid is just a hotheaded punk, earlier he even injured my boyfriend!”

Gao Xiaoxiao pointed angrily at Lin Tian and said furiously, ”This matter will not end here!”

”Xiaoxiao! As for him hitting me, I won’t let it go easily! But it seems to me, someone like him might just be stupid from poverty!”

Fan Juun followed up, finally looking at Lin Tian with a cold sneer, ”Kid, considering your girlfriend is a classmate, I’ll give you a chance, apologize to me, then work at our company, and I’ll pay you five thousand yuan a month! If you behave, we’ll call it even for you hitting me!”

”Pfft... Come on, bro, with that five thousand salary, how can you survive in a place like Yanjing?”

At this point, someone chimed in, seemingly in agreement to please Zhang Gai and Zeng Meimei, ”My family just opened a subsidiary company, considering Shi Lan is an old classmate, we can have him work there and offer a bit more salary, or else there’s not enough for rent, food, let alone the cost of renting clothes...”

”Pfft hahaha...”

Hearing the teasing mention of Lin Tian and Shi Lan renting clothes, quite a few people couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

Seeing a group of people being so mocking towards Lin Tian and Shi Lan, Gao Xiaoxiao and Fan Juun felt a sense of gratification on their faces.
