The Graceful and Stunning Boss's Wife-Chapter 472: Reunion with Classmates

A bout of chaos left Su Ming and Ai Qingqing’s stomachs growling.

"I’ll go make you something delicious."

Ai Qingqing, barefoot and casually slipping on a loose half-sleeve shirt, ran out.

About ten minutes later, Su Ming stared at the unknown dish in front of him, deep in thought.

"Um... baby, are you sure this is edible?"

"Hehehe, I think it should be."

Ai Qingqing awkwardly scratched her head.

Su Ming felt a bit helpless. It seemed the saying, "No one knows a daughter better than her mother," was truer than ever.

Just then, Su Ming’s phone rang, and to his surprise, it was Bai Mo.

Since staying in Longcheng, this guy had truly let himself go.

Even in the same hospital, Ai Qingqing hardly ever saw Bai Mo’s figure.

Su Ming was genuinely worried that one day a bunch of girls would come running from the hospital claiming Bai Mo got them knocked up.

Picking up the call, Su Ming didn’t need to listen to know where this guy was.

"Alright, stop dawdling, come over quickly, oh yeah!"

After hanging up the phone, Su Ming looked at Ai Qingqing sitting across from him.

Ai Qingqing, with big curious eyes, looked at Su Ming.

"What did Bai Mo say?" 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

Su Ming shook his head, stood up, and pulled Ai Qingqing back to the room.

Crown Celestial Palace

This is the biggest nightclub in Longcheng, also an offshoot of the International Trade Center.

The biggest difference between Crown Celestial Palace and other nightclubs is that those who come here have some economic strength.

There’s a minimum spending requirement here, and newcomers must register for membership with an introduction from an existing member.

Standing at the entrance of Crown Celestial Palace, admiring the opulent decor, even Su Ming nodded approvingly.

Ai Qingqing was visiting here for the first time, full of curiosity about everything.

Just as Su Ming and Ai Qingqing were about to go in, a voice came from behind them.

"Isn’t that Ai Qingqing? It’s really you?"

Turning their heads, they saw a group of men and women approaching.

The speaker was dressed quite revealingly, almost a replica of outfits you’d find on short video apps.

The other girls were dressed similarly; even spaghetti straps were considered the most basic.

Seeing them, Ai Qingqing pursed her lips.

"What’s wrong? You know them?"

Su Ming noticed Ai Qingqing’s change in mood and asked softly.

"She’s my college roommate, Ouyang Lingling. Total princess syndrome, and she was the one I disliked the most in college."

"For some reason, she just loved to compete with me, always flaunting what she bought in front of me."

"Her family owns something, I can’t remember, but they’re well-off."

After Ai Qingqing’s explanation, Su Ming roughly understood.

In college, if a girl inexplicably targets another girl, it’s usually for two reasons.

One is appearance.

The other is because the boy she likes likes her.

Ultimately, it’s appearance.

If you don’t see them, fine, but once you do, it’s impossible to ignore.

Ai Qingqing smiled slightly at Ouyang Lingling.

"Ah, it’s Lingling. What a coincidence, you’re here to have fun too?"

At Ai Qingqing’s words, Ouyang Lingling instantly lifted her head, pride written all over her face.

"Of course, this is the biggest nightclub in Longcheng, I’m a regular here."

Every entry to Crown Celestial Palace comes with a minimum spend, which isn’t affordable for typical families.

So those who love to go out but aren’t financially well-off often pool funds to recharge a membership card.

After all, as long as you have a membership card, the number of people you bring in doesn’t matter.

Most people, once inside, proudly announce they have a Crown Celestial Palace membership card, here to show off.

Ai Qingqing could naturally discern Ouyang Lingling’s message.

But she didn’t say much.

Evidently, Ouyang Lingling wasn’t about to let Ai Qingqing off just like that.

Her gaze turned to Su Ming, and upon seeing his face, a hint of jealousy flashed in her eyes.

"Qingqing, who’s this? Aren’t you going to introduce us?"

Thus prompted, Ai Qingqing instinctively linked arms with Su Ming.

"This is my boyfriend, Su Ming."

"I didn’t expect you’d already started dating."

At this moment, a guy walked over to Ouyang Lingling’s side.

His name was Hao Qinglin, a classmate of both Ouyang Lingling and Ai Qingqing.

Seeing Hao Qinglin arrive, Ouyang Lingling immediately hooked her arm around his.

The way she proudly brushed against his arm was unmistakable.

"Linlin, aren’t you going to let dear Qingqing find a boyfriend too? But Qingqing, let me tell you, choosing a boyfriend requires sharp eyes. Look at me and Linlin, years into college, and we’ve grown feelings slowly."

At this, Ai Qingqing pouted again, ignoring Ouyang Lingling.

Seeing Ai Qingqing silent felt like Ouyang Lingling had punched cotton.

Hao Qinglin, meanwhile, cast a hostile glance at Su Ming.

"Qingqing, are you guys here to play too? Want to join us inside?"

Saying that, Hao Qinglin took out a Crown Celestial Palace membership card.

Before Ai Qingqing could speak, Ouyang Lingling chimed in, "You’re definitely meeting someone here. Without a contact, who’d get you in? You think anyone can just get a membership card like we did?"

She shot Ai Qingqing a smile.

"Our dear Qingqing is the top candidate for financial aid every year."

Each of Ouyang Lingling’s words stung Ai Qingqing like a needle.

She looked down, pulled on Su Ming’s arm, wanting to leave.

But Su Ming didn’t move, instead faced the couple in front of him.

"Whether we can get in, what’s it to you? Your house by the sea? Why so nosy?"

Ouyang Lingling and Hao Qinglin didn’t expect Su Ming to retort, and were momentarily stunned by his words.

But soon, Ouyang Lingling snapped back, pressing her lips.

"What? Can’t take a joke? Why are you so petty, big man?"

Yet Su Ming didn’t back down, directly countering, "Do I know you? Making jokes with me? Are we close?"

"What happens with Qingqing, what’s it to you? What happens with us, what’s it to you? Does the financial aid for needy students go to someone who isn’t needy like you? Ugly and making trouble, can’t you see we don’t want to talk to you? Don’t you see you’re bothersome? Why do you have no self-awareness?"

"Your home might be in Dunhuang, with so many murals around."
