Chapter 101 You think you're worthy?
"What?" Kang Mengqi was extremely surprised.
I was about to ask her what her husband did when I was suddenly interrupted by a group of guys.
Several boys came over with wine glasses to toast the girls.
"Happy New Year to all the beautiful girls in our class! May those who are destined for love find their partners, those who are destined for wealth, and may you all become more and more beautiful!"
"Thank you, Mr. Fu!" the girls greeted with smiles.
Hua Meimei recognized those boys as the naughtiest ones in the class.
The one who spoke first was Fu Kun, who had read aloud her diary entries about Fei Chenfeng during a break between classes.
His group of good buddies were laughing and slapping the table below.
At that time, Hua Meimei became the laughing stock of the whole class, and was so ashamed that she wanted to die.
The news spread to other classes, and everyone knew about it.
Hua Meimei pursed her lips and stared at Fu Kun with a chilling gaze.
The female students all stood up and clinked glasses with Fu Kun and the others.
Berry sat still.
Kang Mengqi tried to pull her up and whispered, "Fu Kun is now a senior executive of a large company. We have to give him face. Maybe it will be easier to get things done with him in the future."
Hua Meimei dismissed it, saying, "Mengqi, I don't want to pay them any attention."
To hell with whoever it is, I'm not going to flatter him.
So what if they don't give me face?
He was still upset because he hadn't gotten revenge.
When Fu Kun saw that Hua Meimei was looking at him coldly and didn't get up to offer him a toast, his expression immediately turned somewhat unpleasant.
People who are used to being praised and treated with respect cannot accept being ignored by Hua Meimei.
"Hey, isn't this Hua Meimei, the girl who caused such a stir in our class back then because of her crush on Fei?"
Fu Kun walked up to her with a wine glass in his hand.
Hua Meimei sneered inwardly, "All this commotion is thanks to you, isn't it?"
"Oh my, it's been so many years! What delicious food have you been eating, Mr. Fu? You've gotten so round I almost didn't recognize you," Hua Meimei said, covering her mouth with a laugh.
His words caused everyone to burst into laughter.
Fu Kun subconsciously touched his beer belly; he had gained quite a bit of weight in recent years due to his busy social engagements.
Hua Meimei was joking, but she was also being sarcastic towards him.
But everyone was laughing, and Fu Kun couldn't afford to have a serious face because of this little joke.
Now that he sees how bright and charming Hua Meimei is, he's even a little tempted.
Don't get angry with the beautiful girl.
"It's been years, and our beautiful Hua has become even more gorgeous." Fu Kun said with a greasy smile.
His buddies behind him laughed along.
Hua Meimei felt nauseous, thinking she'd rather not be praised by someone like that.
"Ah Kun, you don't have a girlfriend yet, how about you go after some pretty girls?"
People at the boys' table started jeering.
"They're a perfect match, a handsome man and a beautiful woman!"
"That's right, our Brother Kun is really something now, he's a senior executive at Huanyu Group! So many women are chasing after him, pretty girl, don't miss out on this opportunity!"
The boys were getting more and more excited with their teasing.
Some girls on the girl's side also quietly echoed.
Fu Kun grinned smugly and was about to toast Hua Meimei. Seeing that Hua Meimei was drinking a soft drink, he insisted on having someone change her glass to a wine glass.
Fei Chenfeng stood up, curled his lip, and scolded, "Can you stop making a scene?"
The jeering from inside the private room stopped abruptly.
Everyone looked at Fei Chenfeng, whose face was filled with anger.
The boy, who is usually gentle and good-tempered, rarely gets angry like this.
The last time he got angry was when Fu Kun read Hua Meimei's diary in front of the whole class. That time, he rushed up and beat Fu Kun up.
Eventually, the principal found out and personally mediated, calling in all the parents. Fei Chenfeng's parents immediately offered to send him abroad to study, while Lin Cuilan only criticized the innocent Hua Meimei a few times, not wanting to spend too much time dealing with the matter.
On the contrary, Fu Kun, the instigator, received no punishment whatsoever; he was merely forced by school leaders to apologize to Hua Meimei.
But Hua Meimei knew that it wasn't Fu Kun's sincere apology; the mockery and disdain in his eyes betrayed his true feelings.
The farce ended just like that, but the hurt it left on Hua Meimei's heart never ended. Every day at school, all she saw were the onlookers' scornful, disdainful, and mocking gazes.
Fu Kun still holds a grudge against Fei Chenfeng for the beating he received.
This time, he stood up for Hua Meimei again.
Fu Kun thought to himself, "It's a good opportunity to settle both old and new scores at once."
"Fei Chenfeng, are you going to protect Hua Meimei again?" Fu Kun pointed at Fei Chenfeng and mocked. "You don't actually like Hua Meimei, do you?"
"Hahahaha..." Fu Kun's henchmen laughed wildly.
Others, enjoying the spectacle, joined in the laughter, but some girls who still secretly loved Fei Chenfeng wore bitter expressions and couldn't manage a smile. Did Fei Chenfeng really like Hua Meimei?
Fei Chenfeng looked at Hua Meimei, his gaze deep and gentle, yet tinged with sadness.
The last time he stood up for Fu Kun and beat him up, people just assumed it was because he felt ashamed that he beat him up because he was the protagonist of the diary.
No other factors were considered.
Only he knew that he hit Fu Kun because he felt sorry for Hua Meimei being ridiculed by everyone.
The impact of someone who has always been a model student hitting a classmate in public is considerable; it even alarmed the school leaders.
He naturally didn't dare admit it at the time, but it was because he liked Hua Meimei and wanted to protect her.
Doing that would only add to her troubles.
So he didn't say anything.
This time, he wanted to admit that he liked Hua Meimei, but he no longer had the energy to say such a thing.
She is married, but her husband is another man.
If he publicly admits his feelings for her, it will only bring gossip and more trouble to her marriage in the future.
"Fu Kun, why do you always make things difficult for Hua Meimei?" Fei Chenfeng asked instead of answering.
Fu Kun had a greasy smile on his face. "How could I have made things difficult for her? She's so beautiful, I'm too busy pursuing her to wait for her! If you don't go for her, I certainly will!"
His bluntness made everyone laugh even harder.
Many people clapped and cheered, shouting at Hua Meimei: "Get together! Get together!"
But Hua Meimei stood up slowly with a calm and collected expression, and raised the glass of white wine that Fu Kun had poured for her.
Everyone turned their attention to her, assuming she was going to toast Fu Kun.
A beautiful face with fair skin and a rosy glow smiled humbly and gracefully, her demeanor exuding elegance and aloofness, completely overshadowing Fu Kun's greasy appearance.
Many classmates thought the two of them were not a good match and wondered where Fu Kun got the courage to flirt with Hua Meimei like that.
Is it true that the more ordinary a man is, the more confident he is?
Several boys were really annoyed with Fu Kun. He was just a low-level manager in a subsidiary of Huanyu Group, so why was he acting so important?
She raised her glass to Fei Chenfeng and said, "Chenfeng, I'd like to toast you to thank you for all your care and support. I wish you happiness, joy, and all your wishes fulfilled in the future."
The private room was filled with endless silence.
Only Fu Kun looked the most embarrassed.
Fei Chenfeng was stunned for a moment, not expecting Hua Meimei to suddenly toast him. It wasn't until the class monitor sitting next to him handed him his glass that he came back to his senses.
"Thank you for the blessing, Meimei. I'll drink this in one go. You can drink as you like." Fei Chenfeng said, tilting his head back and drinking the white wine in his glass.
The class monitor led the applause: "Great, that's wonderful! Happy New Year to everyone, may all your wishes come true, and may you have many more happy returns of the year!"
"Come on, everyone, let's raise our glasses and celebrate the New Year together."
"cheers!"
"Dry!"
The private room suddenly became lively again.
Hua Meimei sat down, giving Fu Kun a defiant look. What trash are you? You think you're worthy?
He's supposed to be a senior executive at Huanyu Group, right? When she gets home, she'll have to ask Luo Jiuyu why his company hired trash like Fu Kun as a senior executive.
