Xue Zhiyuan was a genuine second-generation rich kid.
During university, women came and went around him; he was the infamous playboy of Jiaoda's finance department.
He had now been graduated for three years and held a high position in the family business.
But he had never changed his womanizing habit.
In the three years since graduation, he had used his family's influence to play with many women, but his only regret was that he had never found the woman from his university days.
That woman was Ye Qingmei.
He thought he would never meet her again, but Xue Zhiyuan never expected fate to be so kind to him as to let him encounter Ye Qingmei!
Seeing the man and a little girl beside Ye Qingmei, Xue Zhiyuan's heart ached fiercely, as if something belonging to him had been snatched away by someone else.
He wore a smile, but a ruthless glint flashed in the depths of his eyes. This bitch, she had actually gotten married and had a child!
Your first time should have belonged to me! To me, Xue Zhiyuan!!
But in the next moment, Xue Zhiyuan seemed to think of something, and his eyes lit up slightly. Since he didn't get the first time of Ye Qingmei, the taste of a married woman wouldn't be bad either!
This bitch, she had become more alluring in the three years he hadn't seen her!
"Big campus beauty Ye, what a coincidence. It's been three years since we last met, hasn't it?"
Xue Zhiyuan's tone was gentle, and he flashed what he thought was a friendly smile, looking at Ye Qingmei and speaking to himself.
"I didn't expect you to be married and have a child. How fast things change!"
"May I ask who you are?" Ye Qingmei frowned. She had an impression of Xue Zhiyuan, but his character was poor, and she really didn't want to deal with him.
"Uh." Xue Zhiyuan froze for a moment, the smile on his face instantly stiffened. He had been making small talk for so long, and she had already forgotten him?
He had thought that even if he hadn't won Ye Qingmei over back then, she would at least remember him, right?
He even fantasized sometimes that Ye Qingmei might regret rejecting him after graduation.
But now, Ye Qingmei had forgotten him!
"Ahem, Campus beauty Ye, you're truly forgetful when you're important. I'm Xue Zhiyuan. We were in the same department, and our counselor back then was Old Liu!"
"It's only been three years since graduation, Qingmei. You were the best student in our department back then. Your memory shouldn't be this bad, right?"
Xue Zhiyuan continued to smile, gritting his teeth inwardly. This bitch dared to forget him. Good! Very good!
Once I get you into my bed, I'll make you remember me for the rest of your life!
"Oh! I remember now. I'm sorry. It's been three years, and I couldn't recall you just now."
Ye Qingmei spoke in a calm tone, a slight smile on her face, feeling a little impatient inside.
However, before Xue Zhiyuan could speak, Ye Qingmei preempted him, her face showing a hint of apology.
"I'm sorry, classmate Xue. We have to catch the bus. Let's chat again at the next alumni gathering."
With that, without waiting for Xue Zhiyuan's response, Ye Qingmei pulled Li Xiaotian and their daughter, preparing to leave.
Seeing this, a flash of anger crossed Xue Zhiyuan's eyes. He stepped forward, blocking Ye Qingmei, and forced a smile.
"Don't go, Qingmei. It's been a long time. Let's have a simple meal together later. It's okay if you miss the bus; I'll have my driver take you home tonight."
Missing the bus? Xue Zhiyuan sneered inwardly. It seemed the pure and chaste campus belle hadn't lived well after graduation!
Xue Zhiyuan glanced at Li Xiaotian. The man was dressed ordinarily, without a single designer item. He seemed to be doing poorly, otherwise, he wouldn't even be unable to afford a car.
Having roughly gauged Ye Qingmei's current situation, Xue Zhiyuan became excited. He didn't expect this bitch's life to be so miserable now, marrying a useless husband and having to take the bus three years into marriage.
This way, if he acted generously tonight and showed Ye Qingmei a glimpse of his life, she would quickly grow weary of her current circumstances, and he could have her without any effort.
With this thought, Xue Zhiyuan's smile became even more enthusiastic.
"No, classmate Xue. Let's meet another day."
Ye Qingmei's expression was somewhat impatient; she disliked talking to Xue Zhiyuan.
"Also, we weren't that close in college. Please call me by my full name, or my husband might object."
Xue Zhiyuan's expression darkened for a moment, but then he smiled, glanced at Li Xiaotian, and said with a hint of mockery.
"How could that be? Qingmei, we were college classmates. Your husband shouldn't mind this, right? A grown man, wouldn't he be so petty?"
After speaking, Xue Zhiyuan looked at Li Xiaotian, his gaze sharp. Although he wore a smile, a subtle warning flickered in his eyes.
A man who couldn't even afford a car didn't deserve any respect from him. He knew that some of the women he had played with were sold by their own husbands.
And this husband of Ye Qingmei, he only needed to find an opportunity to slightly threaten him, and he would probably cooperate obediently.
Li Xiaotian met Xue Zhiyuan's gaze and smiled faintly.
"No! I mind very much, and I am petty. So please call my wife by her full name."
Xue Zhiyuan's expression froze. He looked at Li Xiaotian again, his eyes filled with a deep meaning.
"Alright then, consider me presumptuous. As compensation, I'll treat you to dinner tonight. I know a French restaurant nearby; their ingredients are flown in fresh daily, and the taste is excellent."
Xue Zhiyuan said with feigned modesty and a casual tone, but his eyes secretly glanced at Ye Qingmei, observing her reaction.
"Sorry, our family only likes Chinese food and isn't interested in Western cuisine." Li Xiaotian put his arm around Ye Qingmei, stood in front of Xue Zhiyuan, and said flatly.
A flicker of anger immediately flashed in Xue Zhiyuan's eyes. He was being shown disrespect; this guy was deliberately courting death!
Seeing Xue Zhiyuan repeatedly losing face, his female companion Wang Li's eyes flickered. She then smiled at Ye Qingmei and said.
"Then let's have Chinese food. The guest follows the host's preference. Besides, I see Ms. Ye only bought clothes for her child today and hasn't bought anything for herself."
"Let's go shopping later. See if Ms. Ye wants anything. Our Chairman Xue is a diamond member of this mall; everything enjoys a thirty percent discount."
"Since old classmates have met, if Ms. Ye sees any clothes or bags she likes, she can just take advantage of our old classmate's good fortune."
Upon hearing this, Xue Zhiyuan's eyes lit up. He mentally praised Wang Li. This little vixen was quite useful at critical moments.
"Hahaha, Wang Li, you jest. What chairman? I'm just a vice-chairman."
Xue Zhiyuan said with false modesty, then looked at Ye Qingmei and said heartily.
"Ye Qingmei, look how long I've kept you. You'll definitely miss the bus. Just let me make it up to you. Don't you deny an old classmate this chance?"
Ye Qingmei showed a troubled expression and looked at Li Xiaotian for help.
Li Xiaotian smiled faintly, his gaze falling on a piece of clothing in the display window that Ye Qingmei had been looking at earlier. He then said.
"Then let's go shopping first. After we come back, I haven't bought you anything yet. Give me a chance to compensate you."
Something in Ye Qingmei's heart seemed to be touched by Li Xiaotian's words, and she nodded.
This scene, however, fell into the eyes of Xue Zhiyuan and Wang Li, filling them with contempt for Li Xiaotian.
As a husband, he hadn't bought anything for his wife. This man was living quite a failure.
