Chapter 510: 325 The Romantic Affairs of Fifth Master? Jealousy Overturned the Heavens (2 updates)_2

Qi Zeyan wanted to cry but had no tears. He was decisive when doing business and negotiating, but his childhood trauma left shadows; he was genuinely scared.

"Let’s go..." Fan Mingjue walked ahead, and Qi Zeyan could only follow.

The office had not changed much; awards and medals given by the school were still displayed in the cabinet on the wall, showcasing just how outstanding someone was as the director.

"Have some tea." Fan Mingjue made him a cup of tea.

"Thank you, Uncle."

"How’s work recently?"

"Not bad."

"You haven’t started dating yet? Xiaowu is already engaged; you should hurry up."

"I know." Qi Zeyan was still dressed in a broad suit today, with a side-parted slick hairstyle, looking every bit the domineering CEO. However, he was as meek as a chicken in front of Fan Mingjue.

"By the way, last time at the hospital, why did you suddenly leave? Did you hear I was in Xiaowu’s room and didn’t want to see me?"

Qi Zeyan’s heart skipped a beat: Damn...it finally came up.

"How could that be, Uncle? You have no idea how much I missed you."

"After graduating high school, not many students still think about me... Uncle didn’t pamper you for nothing."

"..."

Although Jiang Jinsang didn’t want to see his uncle either, it wouldn’t be appropriate not to greet him on his turf.

Seeing Jiang Jinsang, Qi Zeyan was happier than seeing his own mother, his eyes bright and seemingly radiating light.

Thinking he was saved, he didn’t expect Jiang Jinsang to sit down with Tang Wan and not leave at all?

I brought you here to get me out, and now you’re caught up in conversation?

As Jiang Jinsang and Tang Wan wandered around the school, men would stare at her, which annoyed him quite a bit. It was better to come here for some peace, as many students feared Fan Mingjue; even if they returned for reunions, few would greet him.

The whole school was bustling, but here... it was eerily quiet.

Qi Zeyan kept giving Jiang Jinsang meaningful glances:

Hurry up and get me out of here!

But the other person pretended not to notice and started chatting casually with Fan Mingjue instead.

Qi Zeyan was grinding his teeth in frustration: Damn it, you’re going to be the death of me.

"...Xiaowu looks like he’s recovered well. Pick a weekend, and you two come to our house for a meal. I’ll have your aunty cook you something tasty," although strict, Fan Mingjue obviously adored his own relatives.

"Thank you, Uncle." Tang Wan answered with a smile.

"In the blink of an eye, the kids have grown up so much. Xiaowu is even getting married. I worried a lot about him when he was in school. Many girls chased him, and the school forbade early romances. For his sake, I even handled a few female students..."

Jiang Jinsang, who had come over, certainly didn’t want his uncle airing his dirty laundry and coughed lightly, "Uncle, that was all a long time ago."

Fan Mingjue just laughed, "What happened in the past, when I think about it now... it’s still vivid in my mind."

Sitting on the side, Qi Zeyan took a sip of tea and listened to Fan Mingjue revealing...

Some things, even he didn’t know.

The school always dealt severely with early romances. It was the first time Tang Wan heard that Jiang Jinsang and another girl were caught "in the act" by Fan Mingjue in a small grove.

"Uncle, it was her following me. There was nothing between us, let’s not bring it up," so much time had passed, yet his uncle still remembered.

Fan Mingjue chuckled, "If it had been true, it would have been announced to the whole school."

"..."

Luckily, several of Fan Mingjue’s former students came to visit, allowing Jiang Jinsang and others to leave on that pretext; otherwise, the topic might never have ended.

"Jiang Xiaowu, there were indeed rumors back then about a couple dating in the grove and being caught red-handed by Uncle. Everyone thought the school would issue a notice soon, but nothing happened, and now it turns out it was you," Qi Zeyan laughed hysterically.

"It was just a misunderstanding."

"That’s just too funny, weren’t you scared to death then?"

"I didn’t do anything wrong, why would I be scared?"

From the corner of his eye, Jiang Jinsang glanced at Tang Wan, who had been unresponsive to him earlier but was thoroughly enjoying this gossip.

**

The school anniversary festivities were plenty and lasted for a week, but none were as lively as on the actual anniversary. In the school’s auditorium, there was a large cultural performance. Seeing the performance was secondary; it was mainly about so many alumni gathering together for some fun.

The seating arrangement had school leaders and some highly respected alumni sitting in the front, while famous alumni and those who had made significant achievements in their fields were also arranged together, making quite a display.

Jiang Jinsang had basked in the glory of the Jiang Family and his own elder brother, and ended up sitting in a forward position alongside Qi Zeyan.

Tang Wan was looking at the program of the cultural performance. Aside from students, there were several celebrities and singers, all labeled as alumni.

"I didn’t realize your school had produced so many big stars." Just as Tang Wan closed the program, she heard a soft and whiny female voice from behind.

"Mr. Qi, what a coincidence! I didn’t expect to see you here."

Qi Zeyan turned his head to glance at her and nodded with a rather cold demeanor as a form of greeting.

Tang Wan turned her head and caught a glimpse of the woman. Just after mentioning stars, she had run into one, and a familiar one at that. This woman had starred in "Feng Que," and Tang Wan had only met her agent before.

And she was also the one who had been giving Ruan Mengxi a lot of headaches recently...

Every aspect was full of nitpicking in costume and makeup, making her difficult to please.

Nevertheless, she was all smiles now, gentle and kind, with no trace of her usual tricky and overbearing nature that made the staff’s lives difficult.

"Jiang... Jinsang?" she tentatively asked.

Jiang Jinsang only turned his head politely to glance at her...

"Weren’t we in the same class before? Do you remember?"

Jiang Jinsang looked at her, as if trying to recall...

"When we split into arts and sciences, I initially chose science, but later found it too hard and switched to arts. We were in the science class at the time, so we were classmates for a month..." the woman explained with a smile.

"Hmm." Jiang Jinsang nodded faintly and turned his head back, not speaking further.

Seeing that he was not interested in talking, the woman said nothing more and just smiled at Tang Wan, greeting her.

Tang Wan turned her head and whispered into Jiang Jinsang’s ear, "I didn’t realize you had a celebrity among your classmates."

"I don’t remember."

"So pretty, and you have no recollection at all?"

Most people who become celebrities aren’t bad looking.

"I was always focusing on my studies when I was in school."

"..." With no faults in his reply, Tang Wan was left speechless.

After the cultural performance ended and everyone started leaving, the celebrity effect meant many people approached the female star to exchange contact information. Yet, as she turned her head, she looked towards Jiang Jinsang...

"We’re all classmates, how about adding each other on WeChat?"

Tang Wan glanced at the person next to her, only to hear him mutter, "I don’t use WeChat."

A blatant lie!

After being refused once, and with so many people around, naturally, the woman wouldn’t make a scene. Qi Zeyan then nudged him with his elbow, "Do you know how many people want her contact info?"

"Has Grandfather Qi stopped pressuring you to get married, not setting up any blind dates for you lately?"

Qi Zeyan: "..."

...

Tang Wan had dressed up beautifully today, yet Jiang Jinsang hadn’t complimented her even once. Even their conversations were less than usual, and the atmosphere was quite awkward.

The old lady watched Tang Wan leave the house happily and wondered why she came back looking so down.

"What’s wrong? Didn’t you enjoy the school reunion?"

"Maybe I’m just tired. I’ll go to my room to rest." Tang Wan couldn’t figure out what was wrong with Jiang Jinsang. She changed her shoes at the entrance and headed upstairs...

"Xiaowu? What..." the old lady frowned.

"It’s nothing." Jiang Jinsang quickly followed.

Just as Tang Wan entered her room and hadn’t closed the door completely, it was suddenly pushed open. She had not even reacted when she was pressed against the wall, and her mouth was bitten painfully before she could push him away twice...
