Chapter 209: Chapter 209 The Only Time Running Away from Home

Yuan Xi did indeed used to be really scared of getting her teeth pulled as a child, she was mostly well-behaved, the only time she wailed was during her tooth-shedding phase.

As a child, she even did something silly, running away from home to Brother Zhuangzhuang’s house because she didn’t want to get her tooth pulled.

She begged Brother Zhuangzhuang to take her back to A City.

By the time she had already gotten into the car, and the driver had even started the engine.

Yuan Xi, not wanting to leave her parents but also afraid of the tooth extraction, just sat in the car, touching and wiping away her tears.

Seeing her cry, Brother Zhuangzhuang, in an attempt to comfort her, gave her a White Rabbit Creamy Candy.

The loose milk tooth came off, sticking to the candy.

After the tooth fell out, Yuan Xi got off the car and obediently went home.

The one and only time Yuan Xi ran away from home ended before her parents even noticed she was gone, and before she had left Huxi Village.

Yuan Xi, recalling the foolishness of her youth, smiled and said, “Now I’m not afraid of tooth extractions anymore, it’s just that they are so troublesome, having to get anesthetic and all. My wisdom tooth last flared up in college, I thought it wouldn’t be inflamed anymore. It must have been having a child that caused it to flare up again.”

Yuan Xi, covering her teeth, felt that the slight toothache from the day before had indeed become excruciatingly painful today.

Perhaps it was also because she had drunk alcohol.

Huo Shiyuan said, “Let’s see what the dentist in A City says; if it’s recommended to take the tooth out, then we should get it removed.”

Yuan Xi, due to the pain, didn’t feel much like talking and simply gave an OK gesture.

Yuan Xi and Huo Shiyuan exited the gym and ran into a woman wearing a dress.

“Yuan Xi! It really is you!”

Yuan Xi saw the woman in front of her, smiled lightly while holding her cheek, and said, “Ding Yiyi, long time no see, this is my husband Huo Shiyuan.”

Ding Yiyi was her high school desk mate and one of the few who had her high school WeChat.

Yuan Xi looked at Huo Shiyuan and said, “This is my high school desk mate and roommate, Ding Yiyi.”

Huo Shiyuan said, “Hello.”

Ding Yiyi smiled faintly and said, “Hello, you’re not really here to attend Zhu Jie’s wedding today, are you?”

Ding Yiyi continued, “Our class group hasn’t been in touch for a long time. Zhu Jie posted a message saying everyone must come. I thought, since after graduation we only had a reunion during the summer break and never had one after, I’d come over to catch up. Didn’t expect that you, a billionaire chairman, would come too?”

Yuan Xi laughed lightly, shaking her head, “No, I didn’t plan to attend his wedding. It’s not because I’m a chairman. If you invite me to your wedding, I’ll definitely make time to go, but I’ll pass on Zhu Jie’s.”

Ding Yiyi said, “I knew you never liked him much, why would you attend his wedding? But it’s quite rare to run into you today.”

Yuan Xi replied, “Yeah, since graduation, we’ve only seen each other on social media.”

Ding Yiyi laughed, “I truly feel honored that you haven’t deleted me from your WeChat friends…”

Yuan Xi smiled and said, “Our friendship fought side by side for two years in high school, how could I delete you?”

Ding Yiyi smiled lightly, “I’m going to head to the wedding hall first.”

Yuan Xi also smiled and waved at Ding Yiyi, “Let’s have a meal together next time we have a chance.”

Ding Yiyi said, “Sure.”

After Ding Yiyi left, Yuan Xi covered her own cheek and said to Huo Shiyan, “When Ding Yiyi was in college, she probably heard about my situation, too. She even took the initiative to ask if I needed to borrow money. She’s a really nice person.”

Huo Shiyan looked at Yuan Xi, “You’re a very good person, too, which is why you always meet people who are willing to help you. Any assistance is mutual.”

Yuan Xi looked up, smiled at Huo Shiyan, and said, “You go back to the room first to shower and change. I’ll go order some dishes in the private room.”

Huo Shiyan said, “Order some light dishes.”

Yuan Xi replied, “Got it.”

The private room Yuan Xi was heading to was on the way past the hotel’s banquet hall.

Zhu Jie was greeting guests at the door and, seeing Yuan Xi coming, said loudly, “Yuan Xi, I knew you’d come today. With your husband around, I bet it’s hard for you to come and dine in a banquet hall like the Shiyi Hotel, isn’t it?”

A few high school classmates who had just entered the banquet hall heard Yuan Xi’s name and all came out to look.

One enthusiastic classmate had already come over to shake hands with Yuan Xi, while the more introverted ones couldn’t help but take out their phones to sneak photos.

Yuan Xi, smiling, shook hands with the classmates who came to greet her. But what made things somewhat awkward was that she had genuinely forgotten several of their names, especially since there were forty-six people in her class.

Because she was quite tall, she used to sit towards the back and wasn’t very familiar with some of the boys who sat in the front rows.

Moreover, with so many years having passed, she couldn’t recall the names at all. Yuan Xi looked at Ding Yiyi for help, but Ding Yiyi couldn’t assist her either. By directly addressing them as old classmates, she somewhat eased Yuan Xi’s embarrassment.

Zhu Jie didn’t understand why the high school classmates were crowding around to look at Yuan Xi.

He looked at Yuan Xi’s attire and said with a look of pride, “Yuan Xi, back in high school, you were too shy to date me. Look at you now, you don’t even have a diamond ring. It’s one thing to not have a wedding, but how can you not have a ring? At the very least, you should buy one that’s three-tenths of a carat!”

While speaking, Zhu Jie intentionally or unintentionally showed off his Audemars Piguet Royal Oak series watch.

The high school classmates all looked at Zhu Jie as if he were a fool.

Ding Yiyi, looking at Zhu Jie, said, “Zhu Jie, after you graduated, did you never use the internet?”

Yuan Xi had been on the hot search so many times throughout the year, and her name was well-known on several rich lists.

Zhu Jie seemed utterly unaware of Yuan Xi’s current status.

Zhu Jie said, “Internet? I’m not addicted to the internet. Successful people in real life don’t need to go online to find a sense of presence. Only those at the bottom of society with leisure time pay attention to the internet.”

Ding Yiyi was so angered by Zhu Jie’s words that she was speechless, “Mi Chen’s President Gu Hanchen posts short videos daily, is he also from the bottom of society?”

Zhu Jie didn’t continue the conversation about whether he followed the internet or not, and simply turned to Yuan Xi, “Don’t just stand there, come and sit inside. Why didn’t your husband come with you?”

Yuan Xi said, “No, thank you. I wish you a happy marriage. For your wedding banquet today, aside from the drinks, I will take the initiative to give you an 88% discount. In the future, if other classmates come to Shiyi Hotel for their banquets, regardless of the number of tables, they can also enjoy an 88% discount. I have other matters to attend to, so I won’t stay for the celebration.”

Booking a banquet hall at Shiyi Hotel in Jiang City was very difficult and there were hardly ever any discounts.

An 88% discount was a substantial benefit.

Zhu Jie, looking at Yuan Xi, said, “Are you working at Shiyi Hotel now? You see, you refused to admit you liked me back then. Look now, you can only work at the hotel to serve us.”

Zhu Jie, full of smugness, spoke to Yuan Xi, “Regretting it now, aren’t you? Back then I even offered to make you my girlfriend, but you were too shy to accept. Now it’s too late for regrets, I wouldn’t marry someone who’s been married before. I’m now at Xinwei Technology Research Institute, with an annual salary of a good eight hundred thousand! When big capital invests in Xinwei, even an annual salary of a million won’t be a big deal.”

Zhu Jie took a box out of his pocket and showed it to Yuan Xi, “This is the Cartier diamond ring I bought for my wife. I’ll let you have a look. I bet your husband never even gave you a ring to wear, how pitiful.”

Yuan Xi, hearing the words “Xinwei,” felt they were familiar. It seemed to be a project Shixi Finance was recently discussing acquiring.

No wonder Zhu Jie was more confident than he had been in high school…
