A sudden female voice broke their atmosphere.

The voice carried surprise and joy.

“Bo Jingshen, is it you?” The woman’s expression was a mix of astonishment and delight.

Jiang Li raised an eyebrow and glanced at Bo Jingshen. “You’ve been abroad for a few years, and yet someone still recognizes you upon your return?”

Bo Jingshen remained silent, taking a sip of his clear liquor.

Su Lu held a spoon in her mouth, delicately eating the snow-white crab meat. She looked up at the source of the voice.

It was a young, beautiful woman, well-preserved and exquisitely dressed. She appeared to be in her early twenties, her eyes adorned with meticulously applied makeup, shimmering with excitement.

Clicking her high heels, she quickly approached their table.

“I’m not mistaken, am I? It’s really you?” She sat down at their table without any hesitation.

Su Lu was stunned for a moment and licked the sauce at the corner of her mouth.

Jiang Li also raised his eyebrows. Clearly, this uninvited guest who had taken a seat without the owner’s permission was completely contrary to the etiquette education they had received.

However, the two of them did not say anything.

To be precise, this uninvited guest practically sat beside Bo Jingshen. If it weren’t for the spacious sofa in the restaurant, she would have sat on Bo Jingshen’s lap.

She amiably said, “Do you remember me? I’m Jiang Minhui. Are you here to attend the class reunion as well? It’s been five years since you last attended a class reunion. If everyone knew you were here, they would certainly be thrilled.”

Jiang Li observed this scene with interest, quietly lighting a metaphorical candle for Miss Jiang. After all, they had the same surname.

Bo Jingshen didn’t say a word from the beginning to the end, allowing Jiang Minhui to talk excitedly.

Jiang Minhui eventually realized Bo Jingshen’s indifferent attitude. It was still a little awkward that she didn’t get any response.

Jiang Minhui hesitated slightly and whispered, “Um… Do you perhaps not remember me? We were in the same major and class. I didn’t expect to see you here. I don’t know what you’ve been developing recently. I heard that you’ve been developing very well, right?”

At this point, even Su Lu couldn’t help feeling embarrassed for her, let alone Jiang Li.

That was because… it was too fake.

Jiang Li had a young master’s temper and was naturally carefree. He did not need to accommodate anyone or look at anyone’s expression. If he did not like it, he would just say it directly.

“Young lady, what you said is insincere. Bo Jingshen’s accomplishments in his career are remarkable enough to be featured on your school’s ‘Top Ten Outstanding Students’ bulletin board.”

Jiang Li directly pointed it out.

Jiang Minhui’s face alternated between red and pale. She was a little stuttered as she said, “I… I’ve only heard about it and don’t know much.”

“Alright, even if you don’t know much.” Jiang Li glanced at her and noticed Bo Jingshen signaling the waiter.

Jiang Li pursed his lips and continued, “I don’t know how you found out that President Bo is dining here, but this restaurant operates on a membership reservation system. Personally, I suggest you leave before things take a turn for the worse.”

The waiter happened to approach their table. “Hello, may I assist you?”

Jiang Li let out a soft sigh in his heart.

Bo Jingshen’s voice was calm and indifferent.

“I don’t know this person, yet you allowed her to enter without our permission and this seriously disrupted my meal with friends. I have doubts about the quality of your service. Please have your manager come over.”

His speech was neither fast nor slow, and his cold tone conveyed a businesslike demeanor.

The waiter’s facial expression immediately changed, and he quickly apologized.

“I apologize, Sir. It was our oversight.”

The waiter promptly pressed the button on his walkie-talkie and whispered a few words.

After a while, two security guards wearing hotel uniforms walked over.

The manager also hurriedly arrived.

“Miss, our restaurant operates on a membership reservation system. Your presence without a reservation has significantly impacted our customers’ dining experience. Kindly accompany us to identify the waiter who allowed you in without a reservation.”

Jiang Minhui’s face turned pale all of a sudden. She quickly stood up, feeling somewhat unsteady.

Naturally, she didn’t have a reservation or a member. Jiang Minhui couldn’t afford a restaurant of this level. However, her best friend worked here as a supervisor, and they studied different majors together at the same university. Therefore, the supervisor recognized Bo Jingshen and quickly informed her friend.

Jiang Minhui happened to be shopping nearby and hurriedly rushed over.

How could she not have heard of Bo Jingshen’s reputation? The recent technology exhibition in the High-tech Zone had practically promoted Bo Jingshen’s upcoming speech as a highlight.

Moreover, there was also news that Bosheng was going back to China to develop in their industry. If she could establish a connection with him, perhaps she could get a job.

However, Jiang Minhui hadn’t anticipated that this former school hunk, who was still an ice-cold figure, would be so unapproachable.

It was like dealing with an immovable iron plate that repelled all attempts at breaking through!

From beginning to end, Bo Jingshen hadn’t uttered a single word to her.

Only then did the manager quickly and respectfully address Bo Jingshen, “Sir, after we conduct an investigation, we will take appropriate action against the staff member responsible. Today’s meal is on the house, and I hope you won’t be upset.”

Jiang Minhui, with a pale face, prepared to leave with the waiter. Just before leaving, she whispered as if trying to make amends, “Bo Jingshen, you haven’t attended any class reunion in the past five years. Old Zou has been concerned about you, and his health hasn’t been great in the past two years.”

After uttering these words, Jiang Minhui followed the waiter outside. A woman wearing a head waitress uniform stood anxiously and nervously at the entrance, clearly the person who had let her in without permission.

Bo Jingshen remained unaffected, sitting there without even a glance.

However, Su Lu knew that Bo Jingshen probably hadn’t absorbed a single syllable of Jiang Minhui’s previous ramblings.

But he surely heard the last sentence.

Because Su Lu observed the man’s hand resting on the table, his slender fingers tightening ever so slightly.

Old Zou was Bo Jingshen’s university mentor, someone who had provided him with guidance and direction.

Five years ago, the young man wasn’t as mature and handsome as he was now. Back then, his handsomeness still carried a hint of youthful naivety.

The background was not the high-class hotel where they were eating four-figure dishes, but the food stall where they were eating greasy skewers.

However, his eyes were filled with hope and confidence for the future.

“Su Little Lu, today Old Zou praised my ideas. He said I’m destined for success! Believe in me.”

Back then, Su Lu had unwaveringly believed in him, this exceptional young man who was bound for success.

“Of course, I believe in you.”

“Baby, give me ten years! No, five years! Give me five years, and I’ll ensure you have the best life, becoming the happiest woman in the world.”

“Okay, I promise you. It’s a deal.”

Su Lu had made a very heavy promise. She still remembered how his eyes sparkled at that time.

Then, she broke her promise and witnessed the fading of the stars in her gaze.

Since then, darkness was all that remained.
