Chapter 25: Chapter 25: A party at my own villa?
Upon arrival, they found themselves in a villa community. Song Yun tried to drive in but was stopped by security, who informed him that - only residents of the neighbourhood were allowed to drive in.
With no other choice, Song Yun had to find a spot to park his car on the side.
After parking, Song Yun and Ye Zi entered the villa community.
Looking at the luxurious villas one by one, an idea struck Song Yun - what if he checked in here?
With that thought, Song Yun decisively checked in.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for checking in at Hua Shou Villa Community. You have been rewarded with Villa No. 8-3. According to its market value, this villa is worth 90 million!"
Listening to the systematic voice, Song Yun felt elated.
Who would have thought that attending a gathering could also bring such an unexpected surprise!
A ninety-million villa - in the whole of Magic Capital, it would certainly be considered a luxury house!
No. 8-3 - I must take the time to have a look later. From now on, I can consider myself a person with both a house and a car.
Since Song Yun didn\'t know the exact location of the reunion, he could only follow behind Ye Zi.
The two of them, one after the other, reached the reunion venue, and Song Yun looked up to see - Villa No. 8-3!
The place for the class reunion was actually at his own house?
Song Yun stared at the house number in disbelief; the system really took care of him, linking the rewards to real-life events - what an amazing system I have!
What Song Yun didn\'t know was that the class president Sun Lei originally had no plan to hold the reunion here. One time, after having drinks with his cousin who was a real estate salesman, Sun Lei heard that there was a villa in their community that had been sold for several years but remained unoccupied.
No one knew which rich owner had so much money to burn, buying a house and leaving it empty for so long.
Upon hearing that, Sun Lei hatched a plan - surely that villa was an investment made by some rich people, not intended for personal use. So, why couldn\'t he borrow it for a day? On one hand, it would showcase his connections, and on the other hand, it might lead to some interesting encounters with female classmates at the reunion.
With that in mind, he pestered his cousin, wanting to stay there for a day. After much bargaining, and finally offering five thousand yuan, he got his cousin\'s agreement.
But he didn\'t know that the villa was now already under Song Yun\'s name.
As Song Yun stood there dazed, Ye Zi, curious, nudged him and asked, "Song Bro? What are you spacing out for? This villa\'s worth only about two of your cars. If you beg your sister-in-law, maybe she will buy you one someday!"
"Get lost!" Song Yun said, none too kindly.
The two of them joked and laughed as they knocked on the grand door of the villa, which was opened by a man in a casual suit with hair slicked back with gel - this was the class president, Sun Lei.
Seeing Sun Lei, Ye Zi stepped forward to greet him, and Sun Lei nodded with a smile.
"Ye Zi, Song Yun, long time no see. Come on in!"
Song Yun and Ye Zi followed Sun Lei into the villa, and Song Yun was surprised to find that most people from their university class were there today.
Including some very familiar faces.
Everyone broke into smiles and greetings when they saw Song Yun, with a few college buddies who had a good relationship with him egging on from the side.
"Song the handsome stud, long time no see!"
"Did Song Yun come alone today? How about squeezing in with our class beauty for a sleepover?"
The class beauty mentioned by everyone was Xie Yingxin, who almost got together with Song Yun during their college days, but for some reasons, Song Yun ended up getting together with Su Luting instead.
Ever since then, Xie Yingxin never had a good expression when she saw Song Yun.
Listening to everyone\'s teasing, Xie Yingxin just kept her head down, her cheeks slightly flushed, and did not retort.
Song Yun pretended not to hear the nonsense these people were saying and greeted everyone in turn.
Ye Zi standing beside Song Yun was wearing a look of forlornness, regretting coming with Brother Song; now all the attention was on Brother Song, and he was practically invisible!
After joking around with everyone for a while, Song Yun looked at those familiar faces and sighed, "Since graduating from college, we really haven\'t seen much of each other. It\'s nice that today, thanks to our class president, we can gather together."
Song Yun looked at his classmates\' faces that were still so dear to him, even though some had been ravaged by life, with changed silhouettes and receding hairlines, the friendship forged in a shared classroom remained solid as ever.
A classmate, now pot-bellied and out of shape, slapped Song Yun on the shoulder and laughed, "Song the handsome guy, you haven\'t aged a bit, and damn, you\'ve got even more handsome. How are the rest of us supposed to live! Look at me, I was a known handsome guy back in school, and now what? Just a beer belly, it\'s depressing..."
Another girl, dressed very elegantly, nodded in agreement, "Indeed, Song Yun seems to age backward. If he were in school, it wouldn\'t be out of place at all, and he might even get those younger girls asking for his contact info."
The acne-marked young man standing next to Song Yun grinned, "Those of us who came early have already sorted out the rooms for tonight, leaving just Xie Yingxin and one room for you. How about tonight our handsome Song Yun spreads some warmth, and you both share the room to stay warm?"
Before Song Yun could say anything, Ye Zi glared and asked, "I came with Brother Song; where am I supposed to sleep?"
You blockhead, you\'ll sleep with your brother tonight! Guaranteed, you\'ll wake up feeling refreshed!" one of the guys pulled Ye Zi over and said.
Song Yun watched his classmates fooling around and shook his head with a smile, "Let\'s not joke like this; after all, our class beauty is a girl, and it\'s too much if we go on."
Xie Yingxin, who had been all ears from a distance, suddenly felt an emptiness in her heart.
Meanwhile, Sun Lei in the crowd, hearing everyone\'s conversation, was on the verge of exploding with anger.
He had had a crush on Xie Yingxin since college, and this reunion was organized just to see her once more, but he hadn\'t expected that after all that effort, it would all benefit Song Yun!
Looking at Xie Yingxin with flushed cheeks, Sun Lei\'s annoyance skyrocketed – could it be that his goddess still had feelings for Song Yun after all this time?
That\'s totally unbearable!
"Alright, alright, now that everyone\'s pretty much here, let\'s move on to the next item on the agenda. Come on, let\'s go barbecue to prepare for dinner!"
Sun Lei changed the subject and led everyone past the villa into the backyard.
The backyard, part of the villa\'s bonus upon purchase, was a small garden of about three or four acres, beautifully landscaped.
Leading the way, Sun Lei laughed, "Make sure to keep up and not fall behind. This villa is very large, and those who aren\'t familiar with the layout can easily get lost."
Hearing Sun Lei\'s words, everyone burst into laughter.
