Ye Chen takes his classmate Wang Jun on his private jet to an airport. Wang Jun is shocked by Ye Chen's wealth and luxury, even falling asleep on the comfortable plane. Upon arrival, Wang Jun expresses his admiration and wild theories about Ye Chen's true identity, which Ye Chen dismisses.

Seeing Ye Chen ignoring him, Wang Jun could only lower his head and eat noodles.

Ye Chen was bored and kept scrolling through his phone.

After settling the bill, the two walked out of the noodle shop and headed towards the hospital.

Ye Chen glanced at his watch, the time was still relatively early.

On the other side, Guo Lei drove his girlfriend, Zhang Tao, and Liu Yang towards the hospital.

All the way, Zhang Tao and Liu Yang kept praising.

"Brother Lei, you’re amazing, actually driving a Mercedes so boldly."

"Exactly, that’s why following Brother Lei is the right choice."

Hearing this, Guo Lei also looked proud, feeling delighted inside.

He glanced at his girlfriend beside him and said.

"Xiaomei, look how lucky you are to be with me, if you were with your previous first love, how could you sit in such a luxurious car?"

"Yes, yes, I’m so honored, drive carefully."

The woman called Xiaomei was also so happy that she couldn’t close her mouth.

Although Guo Lei didn’t look good, he was fairly wealthy.

That’s why Zhao Xiaomei was attracted to him and followed him.

The few of them chatted and laughed as they drove towards the hospital, coincidentally coming across Ye Chen and Wang Jun walking in the same direction.

"Hey, guys, look over there, who are those?"

Guo Lei pointed to the two walking towards the hospital entrance and said.

"Isn’t that Ye Chen and Wang Jun?"

Liu Yang followed the direction of the finger and looked.

"Oh wow, Wang Jun seems to have gotten fatter, but Ye Chen hasn’t changed at all, still so handsome."

His words caught Zhao Xiaomei’s attention.

This woman naturally liked looking at handsome guys.

When she saw Ye Chen, she was also stirred inside.

"Wow, this guy is way too handsome, feels like a movie star!"

Zhao Xiaomei muttered to herself.

Though she spoke quietly, everyone in the car heard it.

This made Guo Lei a bit embarrassed, his expression instantly turned sour.

In front of his friends, his girlfriend praised another man, which left him with no face to show.

Guo Lei had always been resentful of Ye Chen because of something from school, and this deepened his hatred.

He had already sworn in his heart to settle both old and new grudges.

Feeling her boyfriend’s discomfort, Zhao Xiaomei quickly said: "Of course, what good is being handsome? He doesn’t have the capability of my boyfriend."

If Zhao Xiaomei had said this before, Guo Lei would have been very pleased.

But this time, it was different.

Liu Yang and Zhang Tao, two suck-ups, also quickly chimed in.

"I don’t think he’s very handsome, Ye Chen is a bit too skinny."

"Yeah, he’s so tall yet has no meat on him, like a walking toothpick."

Guo Lei originally wanted to stop the car to greet them, but because of his girlfriend’s words, he was really angry.

He drove past the two with the car without stopping.

Wang Jun saw the people in the car and said to Ye Chen.

"Brother Chen, that person seems like Guo Lei."

"Oh."

Ye Chen replied casually.

"That guy just glanced at us but didn’t even greet us, so rude."

Wang Jun said with a frown.

Ye Chen couldn’t be bothered with that guy.

He thought Wang Jun worried about way too much.

Ye Chen was indifferent to everything right now, except for Teacher Fan’s health condition.

While Wang Jun ate noodles, Ye Chen constantly searched online for information about the hospital.

Through the information he obtained, he knew that if Teacher Fan’s illness were serious, it wouldn’t be wise for him to continue treatment here.

Ye Chen and Wang Jun followed the instructions mentioned in the group and gathered at the hospital entrance.

By now, a few classmates were already waiting there.

Guo Lei parked his car and brought his girlfriend, Zhang Tao, and Liu Yang over to the main group.

In the class group, Guo Lei was the most active.

He often bragged about how successful, exceptional, and wealthy he was in the group.

When he arrived, those classmates who were opportunistic all surrounded him.

"Brother Lei, it’s heard that you’ve been doing well these years, take us along if any money-making opportunities arise."

"That’s right, Brother Lei, even if you eat the meat, let us drink some soup."

"By the way, I saw you driving a new Mercedes just now, must have cost a fortune, I’m so envious, can I feel it for a moment later?"

After so many years, even those who originally didn’t get along with Guo Lei started sucking up to him.

Ye Chen found these former classmates so unfamiliar.

Indeed, time changes everything.

Of course, Ye Chen wouldn’t care about them; after all, everyone has their own ambitions.

The classmates around chatted and flattered Guo Lei, making him feel very pleased.

But this group specifically excluded Ye Chen.

Guo Lei was so annoyed that he ground his teeth, thinking that since Ye Chen wouldn’t flatter him, he would embarrass Ye Chen publicly.

Since first seeing Ye Chen, Zhao Xiaomei exhibited an infatuated expression.

She really hadn’t seen such a handsome man; Ye Chen’s attire also made him seem rich.

Zhao Xiaomei even thought of finding a chance to flirt with this man who stirred her heart.

Guo Lei smiled and looked at Ye Chen, saying.

"Cenzi, long time no see, where are you working now?"

Because of Guo Lei’s question, the classmates started paying attention to Ye Chen.

"Yes, Ye Chen, you rarely speak in the group, what have you been busy with?"

"I heard you’ve always been in Modu, how’s life there?"

Prompted by Guo Lei, the classmates also started focusing on Ye Chen.

Ye Chen smiled and said.

"It’s alright, just so-so."

Hearing Ye Chen sidestepping his profession, Guo Lei concluded that Ye Chen’s job wasn’t good.

He smiled and continued to ask.

"Cenzi, since you manage to get by in Modu, your job must be good, I’d guess you’re a CEO or something, right?"

Ye Chen smiled, waved his hand, and said.

"You guessed wrong, I deliver food."

Originally hearing Guo Lei say that, the other classmates looked at Ye Chen with anticipation.

Some even hoped to use this chance of visiting the teacher to build a connection with Ye Chen.

Maybe Ye Chen could pity them for being former classmates and give them a hand.

But upon hearing Ye Chen’s answer, those classmates with hopes showed disappointed expressions.

Some even looked at Ye Chen disdainfully.

Zhao Xiaomei originally felt even more excited when hearing Ye Chen was getting by in Modu.

If Ye Chen could bring her to Modu, life would become very different.

But when she heard Ye Chen was a food delivery guy, she felt like a bucket of cold water was poured over her.

Zhao Xiaomei was someone who cared about face, if her friends knew her boyfriend were a delivery guy, they’d definitely laugh at her.

At this moment, the thought of flirting with Ye Chen had vanished.
