Chapter 227: 207, there are so many beautiful women in this big city! (Asking for monthly tickets)
Meng Chacha danced very well.
She must have practiced specially.
And Yang Hao was not the stingy type; he gave her several hundred million on the spot!
"Honey, how come you're getting more and more amazing~"
Without a clone today, Meng Chacha obviously couldn't keep up. Despite it being the grand opening day of the dance training center, she, the owner, now only wanted to go home and get a good night's sleep.
Yang Hao smiled and patted the white stocking-wrapped thigh of little bitch: "Got things to do, I'm heading out."
"Run the dance training center well, just tell me if you need money."
"Mmm-hmm~"
Meng Chacha nodded joyfully, now practically naked, so she didn't see her man out.
Because of the opening event, there were quite a few people coming in for consultations on the first floor, and Jia Xiaoxia and the others were busy receiving them.
However, seeing Yang Hao coming down from upstairs alone, Jia Xiaoxia quickly dealt with the customers she was serving and headed over: "Yang, why did you come down by yourself, where's Yuyu?"
"She's resting."
Yang Hao replied indifferently, not avoiding the subject.
"Er~"
In fact, Jia Xiaoxia already had a guess, thinking that the two must have been doing what they should if they hadn't come down for so long.
She just didn't expect it to be for such a long time, and now that Yang Hao bluntly said that Meng Yuyu was resting, it also indirectly confirmed this "Yang's" capabilities.
"Yang is really awesome~"
Jia Xiaoxia praised with a smile.
Yang Hao glanced at the female group member, noticing that her figure and looks were a bit inferior to Meng Yuyu's, probably on par with Yu Lili's, or maybe slightly better.
He assessed that she could be transformed into a jungle creep or a buff!
But Yang Hao didn't want to waste his limited energy on women of this level, not even a little, so, he let nature take its course.
Considering how sensible Meng Chacha was, there was a chance that one day this Teacher Jia might appear in the form of a clone...
Qianyuan Hotel.
This was an old five-star hotel.
Today, two weddings were being held there simultaneously, one in the banquet hall on the first floor and the other in the banquet hall on the second floor.
Guan Mengmeng was attending the wedding of her high school classmate Meng Qian, in the first-floor banquet hall.
She was the second person from Guan Mengmeng's high school class to get married. Combined with her popularity in school, the high school classmates and their families who came to the wedding filled up three tables, and it pretty much turned into a high school reunion.
Situations like this generally only happened for the first few classmates who got married. As time went on, fewer and fewer people would attend high school classmates' weddings, and their contact would also gradually decrease, eventually losing touch, and even forgetting names.
The lives of ordinary people are mostly like this, the so-called friendship among classmates only really matters when everyone is still naïve, and it's already pretty good if two or three still keep in touch later on.
Anyway, at Yang Hao's age, he only had two or three high school classmates he still interacted with on Weixun occasionally.
Of course, this does not count Yu Jiujui, who he recently turned into a Blue Buff, as they have been in contact quite frequently.
And tomorrow is Monday, and he still has to go refresh the Blue Buff to ensure that the new week continues with the Blue Buff effect.
"Mengmeng, how are you doing, did you get a boyfriend?"
At that moment, the girl sitting to the right of Guan Mengmeng asked.
Her name was Xia Ying, and she used to have a pretty good relationship with Guan Mengmeng in high school, but they lost contact after she went to Capital City for university.
"Mengmeng, is this seat taken?"
Before Guan Mengmeng could reply to Xia Ying, a tall and thin man came over with a smile and then pointed to the empty seat to the left of Guan Mengmeng.
"Class monitor, you're still interested in our Mengmeng!"
Seeing this, Xia Ying immediately teased with a laugh.
This tall and thin boy was their high school class president named Xu Xiaodong, who had been pursuing Guan Mengmeng since high school, but without success.
He attended Jiangcheng University, and supposedly he hadn't given up even in university, though he never achieved his goal.
It's true that a lot of boys pursued Guan Mengmeng both in high school and university since a beauty is popular at any age, and a sweet and cute girl like Guan Mengmeng was especially the type most liked by boys during the student years.
"As the saying goes, where there's a will, there's a way."
"It doesn't make sense to give up halfway!"
Xu Xiaodong was not at all shy about admitting his feelings for Guan Mengmeng; he was even a little grateful for Xia Ying bringing it up.
"Xu is still so devoted!"
"I am moved. Mengmeng, give it some thought!"
"Mengmeng, you might as well give him a chance~"
The classmates sitting at the same table started to egg them on, as everyone was idle since the feast hadn't started yet.
Especially since Xu Xiaodong's family was quite well off, his father being a leader in the transportation bureau and his mother the deputy editor-in-chief of Jiangcheng Financial News. He studied in Hucheng and successfully got a public service job last year, now serving as a civil servant. With his parents making arrangements and paving the way, his future prospects naturally wouldn't be poor.
Seeing his classmates being so cooperative, Xu Xiaodong's face lit up with joy; he subconsciously rested his hand on the back of the chair next to Guan Mengmeng's left hand, preparing to sit down.
However, just then, Guan Mengmeng suddenly said, "Sorry, this seat is reserved for my boyfriend!"
"Ah?"
"You have a boyfriend now?"
Xu Xiaodong's expression stalled, and the classmates who had been egging them on were also surprised.
Because no one had heard about Guan Mengmeng already having a boyfriend.
"Mengmeng, when did you get a boyfriend, and you've kept it so secret!"
"You haven't even posted anything in your Moments..." Xia Ying said curiously.
"It's been a while."
Guan Mengmeng casually replied.
"Mengmeng, that was too sudden."
"Getting a boyfriend without even a heads-up."
Xu Xiaodong, frustrated, shrugged his shoulder and then sulkily took his seat to the left of the one Guan Mengmeng had reserved.
However, his comment did ruffle Guan Mengmeng, who was always known for her good temper. She immediately shot back, "Why should I give you a heads-up?"
"Who are you, anyway? What does my having a boyfriend have to do with you!"
Guan Mengmeng's tone was rather sharp, and her classmates, who had almost never seen her angry, were somewhat shocked; several of them stood there with their mouths agape.
Xu Xiaodong was rendered speechless by the rebuke, unable to muster a rebuttal.
The fact was just as it is; although he had been sporadically pursuing Guan Mengmeng for a long time, she had always clearly rejected him. Naturally, she was under no obligation to inform him of her new relationship.
"Class leader, I know you're heartbroken, but getting a boyfriend is Mengmeng's right, you know~"
Xia Ying stepped in to smooth things over, then pointed at a girl named Bai Wenjing sitting to the left of Xu Xiaodong, "Wenjing is still single. Class leader, maybe you two could talk more."
"Wenjing, what do you think of the class leader?"
"Uh, I..."
True to her name, Bai Wenjing was a very quiet and introverted girl. Suddenly finding herself in the crossfire, she was bewildered and didn't know how to respond.
However, Xia Ying had successfully diverted everyone's attention with her move, and the atmosphere once again became lively.
The groom's family side.
Tian Shasha was having a lively chat with a few relatives. Yang Peng had been married to Tian Shasha for just over a year and was not familiar with his wife's relatives, making it hard for him to join the conversation, so he was listlessly looking around.
By chance, he caught sight of a sweet-looking and cute girl whose beauty could rival that of Sister-in-law Xinyi and "Qiqi Sister-in-law."
Jiangcheng really is a big city—so many beautiful women!
Yang Peng silently marveled to himself.
Meanwhile, his wife Tian Shasha unexpectedly clung to his arm, then said to a relative with a beaming smile, "Second sister, Peng and I are staying at his elder brother's place. His elder brother is really impressive, with a huge business, and he even invited us to develop our careers in Jiangcheng!"
It's hard to avoid comparisons among relatives, particularly when peers subtly or not-so-subtly compete with one another.
The ones chatting with Tian Shasha were two women who looked rather similar; one was somewhat older, and the other was about the same age as Tian Shasha.
These two women were Tian Shasha's aunt's daughters. The older one's name was Yuan Lina, and the younger one was Yuan Lihua.
Just now, Yuan Lihua had been asking Tian Shasha where she lived, with a hint of complaint about why she hadn't stayed at their place, which seemed polite but was actually bragging about having settled down and bought property in Jiangcheng.
"Dapeng, which complex does your elder brother live in?"
Seeing her cousin say so, Yuan Lihua immediately asked.
"Complex?"
"What's it called again?"
Yang Peng genuinely found himself stumped by the question. He had made a point of checking before leaving the house, yet still hadn't quite remembered: "It's called something Star..."
"Star Cloud Bay."
Tian Shasha took over the conversation—she had made a point of remembering the name of the complex, anticipating she might need to use it.
"Right, Star Cloud Bay!"
Yang Peng nodded his head and chuckled, "I really have such a bad memory; I specially took a look this morning!"
When the couple mentioned the name of the complex, both Yuan Lihua and her husband, Zhuang Feng, who worked for a foreign enterprise, were completely stunned.
Similarly, the elder sister, Yuan Lina, and her husband who also lived in Jiangcheng, displayed shock on their faces.
"Star Cloud Bay?"
"Shasha, are you sure you stayed at Star Cloud Bay last night?" Yuan Lihua asked incredulously.
Almost anyone living in Jiangcheng would know about Star Cloud Bay, not only for its luxury homes. The complex had been in the spotlight the last few days because of Jiangcheng-born actress Xiao Yinqiu, who was embroiled in gossip. The paparazzi had snapped photos of her with her "sugar daddy" entering Star Cloud Bay, and there were news items suggesting she was being kept by that sugar daddy.
With plenty of related news coverage, the name of the complex had frequently appeared in the media, inadvertently boosting its fame as well.
"Lihua, is there something special about that Star Cloud Bay?"
Tian Shasha's aunt, curious, asked her daughter. She and her spouse had made a special trip from their hometown to attend their nephew's wedding, and they had spent the previous night at their daughter's home.
So, if Tian Shasha really had brought Yang Peng to stay with this second sister, the two-bedroom home they had wouldn't have been enough—they'd have needed someone to sleep in the living room.
Among the relatives at this table, only Yuan Lihua and Yuan Lina lived in Jiangcheng. The others were from nearby cities, so they were also curious about the complex.
Why did their expressions change so much upon hearing the name of a complex? It was too exaggerated!
"Mom, the complex Shasha mentioned is a famous luxury housing estate in our Jiangcheng!"
"The people living there are big businessmen and celebrities, and the cheapest house costs twenty million!"
Yuan Lihua explained to everyone about Star Cloud Bay.
Upon hearing this, the relatives from the neighboring cities all gasped in shock!
The cheapest house costs twenty million—certainly not something the average person could afford!
Everyone's gaze naturally fell on Tian Shasha. She had gotten married last year; her husband was from Yicheng, so nobody really considered her the relative who married into a lesser place important.
But unexpectedly, she turned out to have such an impressive relative!
Feeling everyone's gaze, Tian Shasha instinctively puffed out her chest with pride. Coming from an average background and compared to a few aunts and uncles, her family was slightly worse off.
In such a situation, she was naturally often an overlooked presence, but this time she had become the center of attention.
"Dapeng, what does your elder brother do?"
"He must be super impressive to be living in Star Cloud Bay!"
Brother-in-law Zhuang Feng was somewhat incredulous of Tian Shasha's claim. How could this "poor relative" from a small city have such an insanely powerful relative? This just didn't make any sense!
