"So it really is your brother," Wu Tian stroked his chin. "I remember that Tang guy from before was also your brother, why isn't any of your brothers a good person?"
Seeing that the two truly knew each other, Tang Di dared not act rashly.
He cautiously approached Tang Qi and asked, "Sister, who is he to you?"
Tang Qi replied, "His name is Wu Tian, and he is my best friend."
Upon hearing this, all the students present were stunned, and even Bai Ruoqi couldn't help but be dazed.
Tang Di's eyes were wide with disbelief as he said, "Sister, this guy is your best friend? You must be mistaken!"
In his impression, Tang Qi had hardly any male friends.
But why could this guy, dressed in clothes from a street stall, be Tang Qi's friend?
Tang Qi said, "Wu Tian and I are indeed friends. I advise you to behave yourself, or you can't blame me for being ruthless."
Tang Di knew the seriousness of the matter, as Tang Qi had never spoken to him like this before.
It was imaginable that this person named Wu Tian had an unusual relationship with Tang Qi!
He shook his head and quickly said, "I understand, Sister. I won't dare again, I promise."
Then, he gave Wu Tian a sheepish smile, scratching the back of his head, and said, "Hello, Brother Wu. It was all a misunderstanding just now, a misunderstanding. Please don't take it to heart."
Seeing this scene, the classmates felt their minds were in a mess!
This wasn't right!
Didn't Tang Di just vow to deal with Wu Tian?
Now he was calling him Brother Wu?
Facing this change, Wu Tian simply said indifferently, "Is it alright now?"
Tang Di nodded repeatedly, "It's alright, it's alright. I'm so sorry, Brother Wu. I was blind. I apologize to you now. Please don't hold it against me!"
Tang Qi frowned slightly and said, "Tang Di, what exactly is going on? Did you offend Wu Tian?"
Wu Tian smiled and said, "It's not really an offense. Your brother just wanted us to give up the private room, and I didn't agree."
"Give up the private room?" Tang Qi's expression turned displeased. "Tang Di, you dare to drive away guests?"
Tang Di, fearing Tang Qi would scold him, kept saying, "I was wrong, I was wrong. I promise I will never do such a thing again."
Wu Tian was not one to push his luck. He waved his hand and said, "Alright, since you all know each other, let's forget about it. We can give up the private room."
Tang Qi shook her head. "No need to give it up. You came first, there's no reason to give it up. I also need to apologize for my brother. I'm truly sorry."
Wu Tian indicated that he didn't mind, and soon, Tang Qi and Tang Di's group left.
The entire private room fell silent. Everyone stared at Wu Tian with blank eyes, as if looking at a monster.
Ten minutes ago, Xu Kun was mercilessly belittling Wu Tian.
But no one could have imagined such a huge reversal!
Wu Tian scanned everyone and then smiled, "Hey, what's wrong with you all?"
He patted Xu Kun on the shoulder, "Let's eat. If you don't eat soon, the dishes will get cold!"
Xu Kun snapped back to his senses, and anger surged through him.
He flung Wu Tian's hand away and roared, "Eat my ass! I'm not in the mood to eat right now!"
"Waiter! Come here quickly, I want to pay the bill!"
The waiter hurried over with a POS machine. Just as Xu Kun was about to swipe his card, he suddenly stopped.
He pointed at Wu Tian and said loudly, "I'm not paying for this person. Let him pay for himself!"
"What did you say?" Before Wu Tian could speak, Bai Ruoqi was the first to protest, "Xu Kun, what do you mean by this?"
Xu Kun thought that since he had already lost face, he couldn't care less now.
He simply snorted, "I'm paying for this meal, so it's perfectly normal for me to decide who to pay for, isn't it?"
"Since this guy is so awesome, it doesn't matter if I don't pay for him, right?"
Bai Ruoqi said indignantly, "You're going too far! Wu Tian, it's okay, I'll pay for you!"
Wu Tian smiled and shook his head. "No, no, how can I let you pay? I'll do it myself."
After speaking, he took out a black card from his pocket and handed it to the waiter. "I'll pay for everyone's meal."
Xu Kun was slightly stunned, then sneered, "You'll pay for it all? Ridiculous. Do you know how much this meal costs?"
"If you don't have money, don't pretend to be rich, lest you spend all your savings for a wife!"
The waiter took a closer look at the black card and was so terrified that she trembled all over. "This, this is a VIP card!"
She immediately took two steps back, bowed to Wu Tian, and said tremblingly, "H-hello, Boss!"
"What? Boss?!" Everyone thought their ears were playing tricks on them.
Wu Tian said indifferently, "I'm just a customer. Please don't call me Boss. This meal money, let it be as it is."
The waiter quickly said, "Yes, yes, yes, I understand. Wishing you a pleasant dining experience, Boss!"
After speaking, the waiter dared not linger. After returning the VIP card to Wu Tian, she quickly withdrew.
Including Bai Ruoqi, everyone stared at Wu Tian with wide eyes, completely disbelieving what had just happened.
Wasn't Wu Tian just a village doctor?
How could a village doctor be the boss of Tang Ren Cuisine?
But on second thought, Wu Tian was so familiar with Tang Qi just now, so this matter seemed to make sense!
Everyone's eyes flickered, and the wind direction immediately changed by 180 degrees.
"Hah, haha, I never expected this! Wu Tian, you're actually so amazing!"
"Actually, I saw it long ago. Wu Tian, you were so good at academics in school, you were bound to become a big shot now."
"Alas, it's just some people who have made a little money and are acting so arrogant. It's hilarious."
Everyone spoke one after another, praising Wu Tian openly, but also stepping on Xu Kun under their feet.
Wu Tian just smiled faintly at his classmates' words, not engaging further.
He knew these classmates were trying to curry favor with him, but he had no interest in getting too close to these fair-weather friends.
He was no longer interested in staying in this place, so he simply smiled and said,
"Well, since the bill is settled, if there's nothing else, I'll be leaving now."
With that, he turned and left.
Bai Ruoqi also abandoned the crowd and quickly followed.
This class reunion ended in this manner.
The classmates cast cold glances at Xu Kun, saying with a hint of sarcasm,
"Some people probably won't be able to sleep tonight."
"Oh dear, who can blame him? It's his own fault for liking to show off. He said President Tang was pursuing him, pfft, what a shameless person!"
"He still wants to pursue Bai Ruoqi? He's simply a toad wanting to eat swan meat!"
