Qin Tuo nodded and patted Wu Haoyu’s shoulder, comforting him.

”Don’t worry. I’m sure they won’t give you a hard time.”

Hearing this, Wu Haoyu felt much more at ease.

Suddenly, he couldn’t help but ask a question.

”By the way, Qin Tuo, have you found a job yet? If not, how about you come work with me?”

Qin Tuo smiled and replied:

”Thanks, Haoyu, but there’s no way I can work with you.”

At these words, a look of regret appeared on Wu Haoyu’s face, but he didn’t say anything more.

The two of them then went up to the eighth floor and entered a private room.

When everyone saw that Qin Tuo had actually shown up, their eyes lit up.

But it wasn’t out of happiness. It was pure schadenfreude.

Li Tian even burst out laughing right in front of everyone.

”Hahaha, look who’s here! It’s Qin Tuo! Weren’t you just saying you didn’t want to join our reunion? What made you suddenly change your mind?”

Beside him, Chen Xiaohui immediately chimed in to support him.

”He must have come to mooch a free meal. After all, a high-class place like this... how many people can afford such an expensive dinner? We can understand him wanting to freeload a bit!”

”Hahaha...”

All the other classmates joined in the jeering laughter.

Only one person sat there, her heart in turmoil.

That person was Xu Min. She had been dragged along as well.

Xu Min was Chen Xiaohui’s best friend. The two of them were sitting together, the center of attention for many of the male classmates.

Everyone knew that Xu Min had dumped Qin Tuo to marry into the Zhao Family, becoming Zhao Peng’s wife.

So now, they all stared at Qin Tuo, wanting to see how he could possibly have the face to finish this meal in front of Xu Min.

But Qin Tuo’s expression was completely blank. He simply pulled out a chair and sat down without a word.

He and Wu Haoyu sat together, directly across from Chen Xiaohui and Xu Min.

”Heh, this kid really has no manners. He’s acting like he owns the place!”

Li Jian, who was sitting nearby, couldn’t help but sneer.

”Of course! He’s an ex-con, you know. His skin is thick. Even when he’s freeloading, he does it so brazenly, as if he has every right!”

Someone else couldn’t resist chiming in.

Wu Haoyu was instantly furious, and his face turned grim.

’These classmates are being way too cruel!’ he thought.

However, the moment he remembered he would need to ask Li Tian for a favor later, he deflated like a popped balloon, not daring to stand up for Qin Tuo.

Suddenly, Xu Min left her seat, walked straight over to Qin Tuo, and asked to trade places with the classmate sitting next to him.

Instantly, everyone looked stunned.

Even Li Tian was baffled. Why would Xu Min, the young mistress of the Zhao Family, proactively go and sit next to Qin Tuo?

Besides, hadn’t Xu Min had a massive falling out with Qin Tuo long ago?

The atmosphere instantly turned strange. No one dared to speak, afraid of offending Xu Min, the young mistress of the Zhao Family.

Xu Min successfully swapped seats and turned to Qin Tuo with an eager, fawning smile.

”Qin Tuo, I really didn’t expect you to come today. I’m so happy!”

Hearing this, the others looked as if they had seen a ghost, unable to believe their ears.

Qin Tuo, however, replied with a look of utter disgust.

”Go back to your seat. Sitting next to you, I have no appetite at all.”

Li Tian was immediately displeased by this and snapped coldly,

”Qin Tuo, what’s with your tone? This is Young Master Zhao Peng’s wife! How dare you be so disrespectful to her?”

The classmates next to him also started brown-nosing, loudly joining in to condemn Qin Tuo.

But Xu Min’s heart trembled. She quickly stood up and nodded repeatedly.

”Okay, Qin Tuo. If you don’t want me sitting next to you, I’ll do as you say.”

With that, she obediently turned around and returned to her original seat.

At this, everyone was completely petrified.

Li Tian was especially mortified. He felt like his attempt to suck up had completely backfired.

To diffuse the awkwardness, Li Tian forced a smile and said,

”Miss Xu, don’t lower yourself to his level. This Qin Tuo is just a crude brute with no class whatsoever!”

But Xu Min just quickly waved her hand.

”It’s fine. It’s all my fault, not his!”

Li Tian’s heart gave a violent twitch.

’This Xu Min is Zhao Peng’s wife,’ he thought. ’Why has she become so meek and humble in how she handles things?’

But for now, he was just a little confused and didn’t overthink it.

At this point, the classmates started chatting among themselves in small groups.

Seeing Wu Haoyu and Qin Tuo talking animatedly, Li Tian’s eyes narrowed slightly.

Everyone here was isolating Qin Tuo, but Wu Haoyu alone was being so warm and friendly.

Li Tian was the type to hold a grudge, and in that instant, he began to hate Wu Haoyu.

Poor Wu Haoyu. He still wanted to ask Li Tian for help, completely unaware that this one small, unconscious action had already earned him Li Tian’s total animosity.

Just then, a few waiters came in carrying bottles of red wine.

Li Tian’s eyes lit up. He quickly coughed twice and raised his voice.

”Everyone, today is our class reunion! Your humble classmate, Li Tian, has taken it upon himself to treat everyone to some high-end red wine!”

A group of classmates immediately started laughing and showering him with flattery.

”Li Tian, this looks like imported red wine. Isn’t a bottle over ten thousand yuan?”

”Yeah, and he brought over ten bottles of such expensive wine at once! This is so extravagant!”

”Haha, what’s the big deal? To our Brother Tian, this is just one hundred and twenty thousand in pocket money. It’s nothing!”

Several of the male classmates acted like total bootlickers, using the opportunity to shamelessly suck up to Li Tian.

The smile never left Li Tian’s face. He felt like he was walking on air, especially when he saw the female classmates gazing at him with adoration.

Just then, Li Jian seized the chance to taunt Qin Tuo.

”Hey kid, I bet you’ve never had such good wine before. We’ll let you have a taste of the good life today.”

But a look of disdain flashed in Qin Tuo’s eyes.

Wine that costs a mere ten thousand a bottle? He drank wine worth hundreds of thousands like it was water.

Seeing Qin Tuo remain silent, everyone assumed he was stunned by the sight of such expensive imported red wine. A deep sense of contempt for him grew in their hearts.

However, an idea suddenly struck Li Tian, and he put on a generous act.

”Hey now, we’re all classmates, don’t talk like that! Qin Tuo, come on... We haven’t seen each other in years. We have to drink until we drop tonight!”

Hearing Li Tian say this, many people in the room started snickering.

They all knew that Li Tian was just using this as an excuse to get Qin Tuo completely drunk and make a fool out of him in front of the female classmates.
