The Strongest Dandy in the City-Chapter 475: Mistaken Identity

Jingming Grand Hotel in Tianhai is a mid-to-high-end hotel, and Zhao Wanting’s class reunion is being held here today.

A red BMW parked steadily in the parking lot of Jingming Grand Hotel. Zhao Wanting opened the door and stepped out from the driver’s seat. After careful dressing up today, she wore a black gown, and her long hair was pinned up high, looking particularly charming. Especially after being nourished by Ye Chenfeng the previous night, her complexion radiated with a healthy and tempting glow, unintentionally exuding a mature allure that attracted men.

Ye Chenfeng also got out from the passenger seat, dressed in a white tailored shirt and slim-fit trousers, perfectly showcasing his impressive physique. He looked as if he were a prince charming who had stepped straight out of a fairy tale, after all, he was accompanying Zhao Wanting to her class reunion today, so his outfit needed to be more than just casual!

Following them, Tang Xin and Wang Feifei, the two girls, also descended from the backseat. Their attire for the day was entirely cutesy. Needless to say, the girls were naturally good-looking to begin with. Linking arms, they were like two lively sprites.

"Zhao Wanting?" A young man in his twenties approached Zhao Wanting, dressed quite appropriately himself, with an arrogant expression on his face. When he saw Zhao Wanting’s enticing figure, a covetous glint appeared in his eyes, but it was quickly suppressed.

"Zhao Wanting, is it really you? We haven’t seen each other for two years, right? You’re still as beautiful as you were before!" The young man glanced at the red BMW. Back in school, Zhao Wanting never flaunted her family background, so most classmates only knew that her family had some money. However, to the young man, seeing the red BMW, which must be at least two million worth, suggested that Zhao Wanting’s family must be quite wealthy indeed.

"Yes, we haven’t seen each other for two years." Zhao Wanting nodded reservedly, her demeanor neither cold nor warm, keeping a sense of distance.

Upon noticing Zhao Wanting’s manner, the youth’s gaze shifted to Ye Chenfeng beside her. He scrutinized Ye Chenfeng from head to toe, seeing that Zhao Wanting had gotten out from the driver’s seat so the car must be hers. Generally, men would be the ones driving to gatherings like this, he thought. Besides, Ye Chenfeng looked too much like a ’pretty boy.’ This led him to speculate: "Could this kid be a gigolo kept by Zhao Wanting? I didn’t expect Zhao Wanting to like this type. Maybe if I put in some effort, I could get with her without spending a dime."

His subjective thoughts had already lumped Ye Chenfeng into the category of ’little white faces.’ The young man reached out to Ye Chenfeng with an imperious air, his gaze tinged with disdain, and said, "You’re Zhao Wanting’s boyfriend? Let’s get acquainted. My name is Ma Xuewen."

Ye Chenfeng, having noticed the glint of desire in Ma Xuewen’s eyes earlier, knew this pretentious guy was no good. Any man who dared to entertain thoughts about his woman would not be met with a pleasant demeanor from him. Wrapping his arm around Zhao Wanting’s slender waist, he said to Ma Xuewen, "Sorry, I don’t make a habit of shaking hands with men, but I am still quite polite. My name is Ye Chenfeng."

Ma Xuewen retracted his hand, feeling embarrassed, and cursed under his breath for dealing with a pretty boy. He said, "No problem, no problem. What’s your current occupation, brother?"

Ye Chenfeng had no intention of making small talk with Ma Xuewen, feeling a strong aversion towards him. If it weren’t for Zhao Wanting’s sake, he would have already acted against Ma Xuewen. Not in the mood to elaborate, he simply said, "Freelancer."

A freelancer? To Ma Xuewen, that sounded practically like being unemployed. He became even more convinced that Ye Chenfeng was nothing more than a pretty boy and not some wealthy heir, his disdain growing even thicker.

"Xuewen, why aren’t you going into the hotel yet? Pretty much everyone is here already." A garishly dressed woman came over, and when she saw Zhao Wanting, she let out a light "Oh!" and said, "Wanting, you’re here too!"

Then the woman turned her gaze toward Ye Chenfeng beside her, saying earnestly, indeed, Ye Chenfeng’s looks left nothing for the female folks to complain about. Upon seeing Ye Chenfeng, the garishly dressed woman’s eyes filled with an inexplicable sentiment, "Are you Wanting’s boyfriend? I am one of Wanting’s close sisters from college, and I am also Xuewen’s girlfriend now. My name is Xia Mengqi."

As she spoke, Xia Mengqi tenderly latched onto Ma Xuewen’s arm. When Ma Xuewen saw Zhao Wanting and then looked at his own girlfriend, all dolled up to the point of barely being distinguishable from a stylist at a hair salon, he suddenly felt a complete loss of appetite.

"Ma Xuewen, Zhao Wanting, you two are here as well? So why are we standing around like idiots? Let’s hurry into the hotel!" Another two men and two women approached from not too far away, with the speaker being a tall, thin man named Luo Yongwang, who was the class monitor in college.

"Wanting, you’re really letting us down, you even have a boyfriend now? Who would have thought that the beauty of our department in college would be caught so quickly? No telling how many guys will have to secretly cry in the middle of the night over this!"

The two average-looking women sized up Ye Chenfeng standing next to Zhao Wanting, thinking enviously, how did Zhao Wanting manage to land such a handsome boyfriend? They were green with envy.

When Ma Xuewen saw that all eyes were focused on Ye Chenfeng and Zhao Wanting, he felt very uncomfortable and said, "Let me introduce everyone, Zhao Wanting’s boyfriend is called Ye Chenfeng, and he’s currently a freelancer. I reckon Brother Ye must be jobless at home, right? If anyone has any good job opportunities, maybe you can help Brother Ye out. Oh wait, how could I forget? Brother Ye’s work surely doesn’t need our introduction. Look, today Zhao Wanting came in a BMW that costs at least two million, it seems that back in school, Wanting was always one to hide her light under a bushel!"

After hearing Ma Xuewen’s introduction, everyone cast doubtful glances towards Ye Chenfeng. Xia Mengqi, Ma Xuewen’s girlfriend, stepped forward and hooked her arm around Zhao Wanting’s, asking, "Wanting, it seems your family background isn’t simple, huh? Come clean for leniency, resist for severity, what does your family actually do?"

The class reunion happened to be in Tianhai by chance, and Zhao Wanting didn’t plan on hiding her family background. She was just not quite satisfied with the way Ma Xuewen introduced Ye Chenfeng, his attitude, and his tone, "Mengqi, I didn’t deliberately hide my family background; you just never asked me..."

Zhao Wanting briefly explained her family background, and Xia Mengqi exclaimed in surprise, "What? Your dad is Zhao Qihua? Then you are the only daughter of the Zhaos, one of the top business families in Tianhai? Wanting, so you truly are a super-rich second generation!"

The Zhaos were quite famous in the business circles of Tianhai, and everyone present had heard of Zhao Qihua. After this revelation, the way they looked at Ye Chenfeng completely changed, even the slight fondness some women had felt for Ye Chenfeng dissipated. Knowing Zhao Wanting’s family background, they all assumed Ye Chenfeng must be a gold-digging pretty boy.

In these times, looks can’t put food on the table. A woman finding a man she can depend on is what truly matters. The men present, including Ma Xuewen, all envied Ye Chenfeng for being able to depend on Zhao Wanting’s wealth. They were willing to do the same if only they had the chance; on their faces, however, they unanimously wore the expression of upstanding moral figures, looking down on Ye Chenfeng with disdain.

"Wanting, a lot of men nowadays are wolves in sheep’s clothing; you need to be careful. But, on the other hand, since the reunion is happening in your territory this time, you’ll have to foot the bill for today’s expenses," Xia Mengqi said with a smile. In college, she truly was very close friends with Zhao Wanting, but sadly, people change. As time passes by, some will drift further and further away from you, so far that they eventually exit your life without a trace. (To be continued.
