The person who came to pick up Mu Yuxin was Guan Yang's driver, Zhao Pengpai. Zhao Pengpai was similar to Guan Yang, looking quite intimidating.
Mu Yuxin had been thinking about the dessert shop. As soon as she got into the car, she said to Zhao Pengpai, "Could you please take Construction Road?"
Zhao Pengpai coldly replied, "It's not on the way."
Mu Yuxin was asking for a favor and naturally didn't want to offend him. She softened her tone and pleaded, "Please, it won't take much longer to make a detour."
Zhao Pengpai didn't say anything and directly turned the car around. A smile finally appeared on Mu Yuxin's face, "Thank you..."
Mu Yuxin was feeling incredibly excited and joyful. She hadn't seen everyone in a long time and wondered if Xiao Pang had succeeded in losing weight, if Nini had found a boyfriend, and if Wang Jia was still losing hair over her daughter's studies.
The more she anticipated, the more shocked and heartbroken she was to see the dessert shop completely emptied.
"Stop the car..."
Zhao Pengpai pulled over to the side of the road. Mu Yuxin frantically opened the car door and got out. Seeing the once bustling dessert shop now deserted and desolate, her heart ached with anger and pain.
"Boss?"
Hearing Nini's voice, Mu Yuxin turned around abruptly.
"Nini!"
"Boss!"
Nini rushed over and hugged Mu Yuxin tightly, "It's really you, I thought I was seeing things, boohoo..."
Mu Yuxin felt a pang of sadness in her heart, but she had many questions for Nini. She gently pushed Nini away, grabbed her shoulders, and asked anxiously, "Nini, what happened? Why is the dessert shop like this now?"
Nini sniffled and said, "We heard that a rich tycoon bought this street, and they told us to move out within three days. We wanted to contact you, but your phone was off. You also said that the young boss was very busy during this period and that we shouldn't disturb her even if something big happened. We didn't know what to do."
She paused and continued, "Later, Brother Pang wanted to rent another shop, but we looked at several places, and no one was willing to rent to us. So, we had to go home for now. Boss, where have you been? What should we do now?"
Mu Yuxin clenched her fists tightly. Without a doubt, she knew that the only person who could orchestrate all of this was Guan Yang.
To get revenge on her, he truly spared no effort!
Mu Yuxin patted Nini's shoulder and smiled to comfort her, "Nini, tell Brother Pang and Sister Wang Jia that I'm fine. As for the dessert shop, I'll figure something out."
Nini nodded obediently, "Okay."
While Mu Yuxin was talking to Nini, Zhao Pengpai was also on the phone.
"She saw it?"
"Yes, Miss Mu is very sad and very angry."
"Hmph... Is that so? She cares more about a shop than a person! Hurry up and bring her here."
"Yes!"
After hanging up the phone, Zhao Pengpai walked up to Mu Yuxin, "Miss Mu, we need to go."
Mu Yuxin let out a heavy sigh and got into the car, her fists still clenched.
When they arrived at their destination, Mu Yuxin realized it was a clubhouse. Led by Zhao Pengpai, she entered a private room that covered fifty square meters.
There were quite a few people in the room, some singing, some drinking, some playing games, all very lively.
She saw their faces and found them somewhat familiar. Before she could recall who they were, a man suddenly walked over, "Yo, isn't this our class's study committee representative? You came too!"
Hearing the man's words, Mu Yuxin finally remembered who he was, and then the faces of the others also corresponded.
These were her high school classmates from Linhai Town.
Why were they here?
"What's with the expression? Aren't you happy to see your old classmates? Or are you too important to remember who we are?"
The man who spoke was Wang Dazhu, a bully in the class who always picked on female classmates and softer male students. Back then, when he went to provoke Guan Yang, he was beaten so badly that he couldn't get up for a long time.
Today, he was wearing a black suit that seemed a bit too large, making him look quite peculiar.
"Hey, it's okay if you forgot us. You just need to remember Guan Yang. If he hadn't organized this gathering, we probably wouldn't have been able to get together in our lives."
Mu Yuxin's gaze finally fell on the man sitting in the center of the sofa. He was wearing a white shirt, with the top two buttons unbuttoned, revealing his sexy and handsome Adam's apple and collarbone. Several women in formal dresses, also from their class, were gathered around him.
Those women had been Guan Yang's fangirls back then, always dreaming of dating the bad boy Guan Yang. Now that Guan Yang was even more sexy and charming than in school, they were practically throwing themselves at him.
However, as they all came from a small town, their calculations were written all over their faces.
Guan Yang accepted their enthusiasm without refusal, drinking wine while his dark eyes were fixed on Mu Yuxin, who had just entered.
The women around him saw his gaze fixed on Mu Yuxin, and their expressions changed.
It wasn't for any other reason than Mu Yuxin was more beautiful than them. Especially the woman sitting to Guan Yang's right, Yang Xiaoyu. She was the class beauty back then, and all the boys in the class would obey her every command. They would always give her the best things first.
She had never thought much of Mu Yuxin, the bookworm.
But later, after the bookworm took off her thick and unattractive glasses and tucked away her thick bangs to reveal her beautiful and delicate forehead, all the boys' attention was drawn to Mu Yuxin. They even said that Mu Yuxin was the true class beauty.
Especially later, as Guan Yang got closer and closer to her, Yang Xiaoyu became increasingly unhappy. She had planned to teach Mu Yuxin a harsh lesson after the college entrance examination, but unexpectedly, Mu Yuxin moved away after the exam.
After eight years of not seeing her, this woman had become even more beautiful and refined, wearing a stylish red dress that seemed out of place with them.
However, thinking of something, Yang Xiaoyu raised her eyebrows, while flattering Guan Yang, she said to Mu Yuxin, "Yuxin, long time no see, you've become so much more beautiful."
Mu Yuxin had no feelings for those so-called classmates. Although they were from a small town, they were very snobbish and cliquish.
Especially Yang Xiaoyu. As long as she felt that someone in the class threatened her status, she would mobilize her group of friends to create school bullying.
Mu Yuxin didn't know how Guan Yang had gathered them all together, nor did she know why he had called her here. In short, she felt very uncomfortable being here.
Just then, a drunken boy spoke, "Oh my, it really is Mu Yuxin. Do you remember me? Yang Xiaoming. I even wrote you a love letter back in high school."
As the man spoke, he reached out to put his hand on Mu Yuxin's shoulder, but Mu Yuxin took a few steps back to dodge him.
Everyone burst into laughter.
"Haha, Yang Xiaoming, Mu Yuxin is so beautiful, don't even think about being a toad wanting to eat swan meat."
Yang Xiaoming let out a burp and moved closer to Mu Yuxin again, "So what if I want to eat swan meat? Don't you guys want to?"
After pushing Yang Xiaoming away, Mu Yuxin looked coldly at Guan Yang, "Why did you ask me to come here?"
