Speaking of Bai Lan, the male classmates present looked as if they'd been injected with adrenaline. The reason is none other than Bai Lan's immense fame in Jiangnan City.
Although the Bai Group is merely one of the top ten private enterprises in Jiangnan City, its influence and appeal are undoubtedly among the very best.
More importantly, it has only taken a few years for the Bai Group to rise since its inception.
"The goddess Bai Lan single-handedly founded the company during her university years. At first, no one believed in her, but she used her skills to grow an unknown company into a conglomerate worth billions!"
Wei Liangjun was enamored with Bai Lan's beauty and ability, saying, "She is a role model for my learning!"
"Sigh, so many of us can't compare to a girl; it's somewhat of a failure to live like this!"
"Hey, that's not how you should put it. A person like Bai Lan is hard to find, even looking across all of Huaxia, let alone in Jiangnan City."
"That's true!"
Everyone consoled themselves once more.
Ye Qiu wasn't very familiar with Bai Lan before, but listening to everyone talk about her, he now had a new respect for her. At least, her ability and beauty were indisputable.
Ji was now the personal driver for the national goddess. If word got out, it might incite envy and jealousy in countless people.
Ye Qiu smiled, seemingly not preparing to reveal this fact.
While Wei Liangjun noticed the smile on Ye Qiu's face with disdain, he said, "Bumpkin, just a name can make you fantasize like this!"
Wei Liangjun seemed to forget his own previous behavior when saying this.
Just as Wei Liangjun was disdainful of Ye Qiu, a commotion erupted outside the hall, and the disturbance was not small.
"What's happening?"
"What's going on outside?"
Many people curiously looked over at the commotion.
Moments later, someone walked in from outside the hall, causing everyone present to be shocked.
She had a tall figure; her curvaceous body could outdo any celebrity, with long eyelashes, an oval face, bright eyes, and skin as delicate as porcelain—each something countless women envied.
And tonight, she wore a white evening gown, making her look like a fairy descending from the heavens.
"That's..."
"Goddess Bai Lan!"
"My God, the goddess Bai Lan actually appeared here?"
Everyone present was shocked; they were just fantasizing about how great it would be to see goddess Bai Lan in person. They couldn't believe this wish actually came true?
This left many feeling as if in a dream, pinching their thighs hard, feeling the pain, and realizing this wasn't a dream!
After entering the hall, Bai Lan looked around the crowd, and when she saw the surprised expression on Ye Qiu's face, a faint smile appeared on her lips.
A very normal smile, yet it made everyone feel as if bathed in spring sunshine, their whole body filled with an indescribable sense of comfort.
"This is the charm of the goddess!"
"A simple smile can capture a person's heart, is there anyone more charming than the goddess?"
"The goddess is indeed stunningly beautiful, even better than in photos and on TV, and she's not even wearing makeup!"
Everyone's breathing became heavy; their minds went blank, watching Bai Lan in a daze, not knowing what to do.
Then, Bai Lan took steps, heading toward the center of the hall.
Many stood in Bai Lan's path, feeling as if their hearts would leap out.
"The goddess is walking toward me!"
"Get lost! The goddess is clearly walking toward me!"
"It's me!"
In an instant, the crowd couldn't stay calm; nervousness and unease surged.
Quickly, many were disappointed. Bai Lan passed them by without stopping, not even saying a word, and many others made way voluntarily, as if blocking the goddess's path was a sin.
Bai Lan didn't walk fast, but each step tugged at the hearts of everyone present. Their hearts, like her steps, beat rhythmically.
"Why are you here?"
No one knew how long passed before an unexpected voice broke the silence.
They followed the voice and discovered the speaker was Ye Qiu, whom they looked down upon, and the goddess Bai Lan had stopped in front of him.
"What... is happening?"
People felt their minds were not keeping up.
"Didn't you ask me to accompany you to this class reunion?" Bai Lan parted her delicate lips, her melodious voice not loud, but to everyone, it was like thunder, instantly igniting the atmosphere!
"What?"
"The goddess Bai Lan agreed to attend the class reunion with Ye Qiu?"
"That means Ye Qiu knows the goddess? And they're on good terms?"
"This can't be! Ye Qiu is just a lowlife; how could he know the goddess?"
Although the conversation between Bai Lan and Ye Qiu revealed they knew each other, everyone refused to accept this fact.
Then, Bai Lan's following words shattered countless fantasies in an instant.
"Hello everyone, I'm Ye Qiu's girlfriend!"
Boom!
In an instant, everyone's mind felt like it was about to explode.
In the eyes of countless people, goddess Bai Lan was an unattainable presence!
For Ye Qiu to know her was already unbelievable, but the goddess Bai Lan said she was Ye Qiu's girlfriend!
How is this possible!
How is this even possible!
How could Ye Qiu, this lowlife, win over the goddess Bai Lan!
"No, no, impossible..."
In the center of the hall, Wei Liangjun stared at Ye Qiu, muttering.
He had just been arrogantly looking down on Ye Qiu, mocking him, thinking he was just a complete lowlife, but now, he was the goddess Bai Lan's boyfriend?
"Ye Qiu, this bastard is such a poser? With a girlfriend like goddess Bai Lan and he still wears flea market clothes to the class reunion?"
Wei Liangjun felt his heart twitching, genuinely believing that the goddess Bai Lan, this flower, had stuck on cow dung. But why couldn't he be that cow dung...
Perhaps, he wasn't the only one thinking this way!
