“Clay, what are you trying to do?” ask Giselle.
He also noticed that this child was just looking for trouble. As the former teacher of these students, he still held certain authority over them even though they had graduated three years ago. He could make them obey him back then and he could still do the same now.
“Mistress Han, I'm not trying to do anything. Isn't that what David wanted? I didn't force it.” said Clay plainly.
“Hmph, listen, David is more enlightened than you. Now that she's making something for herself, she decided to do something for school, but what about you?”
“Yes, yes, yes, Mrs Han, you are right. David has always been a good student in your heart and none of us can match him.”
“When I taught your class, I didn't give any special help to David. I treat you all the same and it's your problem that you can't compare with him. When David was in High School, he worked while studying. Even so, I have never treated you badly as a class supervisor.”
Clay was speechless. Giselle did treat him well at first. Academically, he would never be able to get a class supervisor position if his studies were bad as well.
“It's very difficult for all of us to finally get together so please don't fight. Madam Han, here, get some water. Clay, as a class supervisor, it's not something you should say.”
David finished and poured Giselle a glass of water. After such a commotion, the atmosphere in the private room was also a little solemn and there was no more laughter like before. Just when everyone was bored and did not speak, the private room door opened again.
Two girls come in. One of them is David's ex-girlfriend, Sarah, and the other girl looks familiar, but she's not from their class.
David was stunned when he saw Sarah. Did someone in the group not say that Sarah suffered a big shock last time? Why was he here at the reunion?
“Halo everyone. Hello, Mrs Han. I'm Sarah's neighbor and since she's a little emotionally unstable right now, her mother asked me to take her out to clear her mind. Coincidentally, you guys had a class reunion so I signed up for her and took her to chat with everyone to see if it would help her.” said the girl who came with Sarah.
David was feeling a little depressed. ‘Didn't you hurt her by doing this? Is she sure Sarah won't be more surprised to see me later?'
When Celia saw Sarah, she grabbed David's hand tightly under the table.
The girl took Sarah to the table to sit down. Sarah said nothing. It seems that the rumors are true, and he looks different. The arrival of Sarah and the girl removed the dull atmosphere inside the room at this time.
“What happened to Sarah?” a classmate asked.
“Doctor says that there is nothing wrong with his body, but he experiences a great shock that makes him become very reclusive, so he needs someone familiar with him to bring him back to reality.”
At this moment, most of the people looked at David again. The person most familiar with Sarah should have been David. After all, they had been together for several years, but David pretended not to see it. She doesn't want anything to do with Sarah because she already has Celia now.
Clay started to notice everyone again. After all, he was the class supervisor and he was also the one who organized this event.
No matter what he thought, they should have talked about it after the reunion.
He only asked David to pay because he was so upset when he saw David coming in with Celia. That's why he decided to heat David up for a while, he didn't really want David to pay.
If David pays the bill for the party he hosts, it will ruin his reputation. His classmates will definitely talk about it in the back. He couldn't embarrass himself like that.
Clay counts the number of people and realizes that everyone is there. Therefore, he called the waiter and asked them to start taking out the food.
David keeps avoiding Sarah so she doesn't see him. However, since there was a table between them, and Sarah kept her head down the entire time and did not look around, she never noticed it.
Lunch was immediately served, so everyone forgot the inconvenience from before and the atmosphere started to come to life again.
Those who can drink will drink alcohol while others only drink non-alcohol. Some of the more active drinkers with good alcohol tolerance started toast at every table. Clay had a toast, too. While at David's desk, Clay first toasts Giselle.
“Mistress Han, it was my fault just now so I'm sorry. I shouldn't talk to you like that, as the saying goes, a teacher is as important and superior as a father himself. Even though we have graduated, we will never forget your teachings.”
“Clay, you are smart and if you focus on your studies, you may not be worse than David, but you are more interested in the social aspect, so that's why I appointed you as the class supervisor. That is so that you can interact more often with your classmates in class and organize activities together with other classes to train you. I'm also very optimistic about you" Giselle said as she held her drink.
“I understand. Thanks for the advice, Mrs Hans. I was so careless and I'm sorry. I'm sorry.” said Clay sincerely.
“It's okay, I won't put it in my heart. Today was our first meeting after graduation. How about we toast to Madame Han? May Mrs Hans be healthy and well in work.”
As soon as Clay finished speaking, everyone stood up and said in unison, “Alright, we pray for Madam Han's health and smoothness in her work.”
Giselle also said, “Thank you for your blessings. I am also honored that my class is the most promising class among all the homeroom teachers in the school. Not only is there Celia, the leading light in the college entrance exam in South River Province, but there is also David, a business genius who has become a big boss when he hasn't even passed.”
After Giselle finished speaking, everyone in the room looked at David together. They knew about Celia as the main leader of the South River Province in the college entrance examination. But, when did David become the big boss? Why don't they know about this?
They're all very confused. A student who delivered food while he was studying in high school is now a big boss three years after graduating from high school. Moreover, he had not even graduated from the university. Who's gonna believe this?
The people in the room who did not understand the situation would not believe this. Giselle did not believe this at first. But this is not the time to ask.
Everyone is waiting for a toast. With that, everyone suppressed the question in their hearts. They think they need to ask what happens next.
When Sarah heard David's name, her facial expression changed. It was clear that this name triggered something in him.
“David, Celia, let me toast to you. I really embarrassed myself just now, so please forgive me.”
“It's okay, we're all classmates. I will not take such a small matter into my heart. Because I have to drive, I won't drink. I'm sorry.” said David.
“I also can not drink, sorry.” said Celia.
“It's okay, you can drink non-alcoholic drinks only.” Clay forced a smile on his face and said.
The toast is over soon. Everyone is eating while chatting right now. Just when everyone was about to ask David what Mrs Han meant by ‘bos big’. Sarah suddenly stood up.
“Sarah, what's up?” The girl sitting next to Sarah asked.
All eyes were on Sarah.
“Candy, thank you!” said Sarah.
“Sarah, have you recovered? That's good, the doctor was right. I made the right decision to take you to your class reunion. Your parents will be very happy when they hear about this" said the girl named Candy happily.
“Thank you, thank you!”
After Sarah finished speaking, she left her seat and walked straight to David. David was a little helpless. Sarah saw it.
“David, can you forgive me? I know I was wrong. I should have listened to you from the beginning" Sarah said in a choked voice.
“Actually, I don't blame you. Everyone has the right to pursue their own happiness.” said David seriously.
“But my happiness is with you. Is there hope for us? Can you give me another chance?"
“Sorry, I have Celia now. Celia is currently my girlfriend, but I hope you can also find your own happiness later.” David held Celia's hand and said.
Sarah looked at Celia while Celia looked back at Sarah as well.
“Celia, I knew you liked David when you were in high school, so after I started dating David, I purposely kept him away from you because I was jealous of you. You're beautiful, you're good at school, and your family's background is also good, but I didn't expect, in the end, I'd push David to you myself. I hope you will treat David well in the future, because he is a great person. I don't think I'm destined for this, and I hope you two are happy in the future.”
Sarah finished talking while sobbing. Then, she covered her mouth with her right hand and ran out of the private room while crying.
He knew that seeking forgiveness from David would be an exaggerated request and he was already mentally prepared when he walked into David. However, he was unwilling to give up even on a glimmer of hope.
After going through a lot, he knew that David was the best person for him. When David only had 100 dollars for her, he would spend 90 dollars for her, leaving himself only 10 dollars to fill her stomach.
In this life, he would probably never find another person who would treat him like this. He had buried his happiness with his own two hands. He can't blame anyone else. He could only blame himself for being futile.
During this period, he was always aware of what was happening around him, but he was dazed and reluctant to speak. It was only after he heard the name David that he regained his senses and wanted to fight for the last glimmer of hope. In the end, as expected, this was the result.
“Sarah!”
The girl named Candy rushed out chasing Sarah. The room was quiet again and everyone was staring at David.
“Why are you all staring at me? Let's eat! It wasn't my fault, I was only with Celia recently after she dumped me" David said with a wry smile.
“David, we don't want to ask about this, we want to ask what's wrong with you and why are you suddenly a big boss?” One of the classmates asked.
“Yes, Mrs Han said that you are now a big boss and you donated money to the school. How much did you contribute that can make Madame Han specifically thank you?”
“Not much.” replied David samar.
“How much is not that?”
“Yes, you have to give us the numbers even if it's not much, right?”
“I just donated 200 million dollars.” replied David.
“B-How much?” A classmate asked, stammered.
“200 million,” reset David.
“200 ju-million? Damn, David! Are you rich now?” One of the classmates shouted out loudly.
Everyone stared at David blankly, including Clay. Although his family was quite wealthy in Shu City, it was 200 million. Even if he combined all his assets, it might not even reach 10% of 200 million.
Even so, David only donated 200 million of it to school?
