1454 A Discerning Man

Although everyone did not like Song Dan because he was ugly and also a very crude person, he was the most successful among them. They all wanted to get to know Song Dan better and become his good friend so that they could tag on his connections! There were many things which Song Dan could help them with.

Song Dan did not allow just anyone to call themselves his friends. He remembered everything that happened in the past and did not intend to make it easy for anyone who bullied him in the past. He was not the kind to take the initiative to stir up trouble though.

As the saying went, how could one spend time dancing on hornets' nests and not expect to be stung? Whenever Song Dan could get a hold over someone, he would not let that person off easily!

"Song Dan, why didn't you inform us that you got married! We didn't even get to eat any wedding candy!" a man said agitatedly.

"Married? When did I get married?" Song Dan frowned and asked a little unhappily.

"Then who is this beautiful woman beside you? Who else can she be but our sister-in-law?" the man asked as he pointed at Xia He.

Song Dan smiled with a meaningful look on his face. At first, he thought that this man was mocking him for not being able to find a wife! He did not expect this man to know the right thing to say!

What was his name again… Ah! The youngest son of the Tang family, Tang Chuan! It was said that his father gave him this name because he liked to eat candied haws when he was young.

"Don't spout nonsense! This is our classmate, Xia He!" Song Dan said as he held back his smile.

Everyone looked at one another, but none of them could remember who Xia He was. However, Tang Chuan managed to react quickly and suddenly rushed forward to hold Xia He's hand and said, "Oh, it's you! Goodness, it's so true that women change a lot once they grow up! You look completely different from before! You're such a beauty now! If we're on the streets now, I won't even dare to call out to you!"

Song Dan nodded in satisfaction. This person named Tang Chuan was quite a discerning guy. Du Miao seemed to have told him before that Tang Chuan's son did poorly in school and often got into fights and caused trouble. Not long ago, he was even sent to the juvenile detention center for fighting with people outside school.

The reason why Tang Chuan came to the gathering this time round was to talk to Song Dan about this matter and asked for help. Song Dan was very satisfied with the man's performance so far and would definitely settle the matter regarding his son! Song Dan could solve this issue with a snap of his fingers. Given his good mood at the moment, he decided to reward Tang Chuan!

"Is that so…" Xia He retracted her hand awkwardly.

"What do you do now? Why didn't you keep in touch with us after graduation?" a woman in the crowd asked.

"I know! I know! Are you in the art troupe! I saw the name Xia He on the posters at the big theater! There's a musical starting in two days and the main lead is Xia He!" another woman said excitedly.

Everyone started discussing Xia He's work and family and she became a little annoyed. What did her personal issues have to do with these people? They were more concerned about her issue than their own.

However, such was human nature. There was always a possibility that Xia He could be useful to them in the future. They naturally had to make a choice now on whether they wanted to get to know Xia He better.

"Alright! Everyone, let's sit down and eat! Let's chat while we eat!" Song Dan said.

Xia He realized that all these people did whatever Song Dan asked them to do. It would not be an exaggeration to say that they were like Song Dan's dogs. Could it be that… Song Dan was the one who organized this class reunion?

Back then, there were a total of 24 people in their class, but only 16 people came today! There was definitely something strange going on!

"You're Xia He, aren't you…" A drunk woman sauntered over to Xia He's side.

"Hello," Xia He said coolly.

"Hmph, my name is Mao Lu. I'm sure you don't remember me," Mao Lu said as she sat on the chair next to Xia He.

Xia He shook her head. It was not just Mao Lu. She did not know anyone present today. Song Dan was already surrounded by a large group of people and everyone wanted to give him a toast. If he continued to drink like this, it would not take long before he became drunk.

"Aren't you going to save Bureau Chief Song from drinking too much? Say, what kind of girlfriend are you? Don't you care about your man?" Mao Lu said with a frown.
