Chapter 838: 838
Xuxu gave a thumbs up for Ming Ansheng under her breath because she had been waiting to say the same thing, too .

Couldn’t they let everyone have a meal in peace? They’ve been incoherently rambling the moment they met, and nothing good came out of their mouth .
“Okay, let’s stop and have dinner . ” Lu Yinan turned serious and instructed the waitress . “Serve the food . ”
They served the dishes one after another . Xuxu swiftly picked up her chopsticks and eagerly tucked in .
As usual, the men drank .
“Ah Heng, has the Jiang Corporation started on the Haicheng City project?” asked Li Yun all of a sudden as he looked at the man .
Jiang Zhuoheng nodded . “Mm . ”
Li Yun smiled and proposed a toast to Jiang Zhuoheng . “Then, I hope I’ll be able to enjoy my association with you . ”

Jiang Zhuoheng offered him a small smile . He held up his wineglass and lightly clinked it on the glass turntable . “Just a word from you, Young Master Li . ”
After that, both of them took a sip from their wine glasses .
“That piece of land was a hot property last year . ” The person seated next to Jiang Zhuoheng lazily leaned back on the chair . He took out his cigarette case as he said his piece . He stuck a stick of a cigarette in his mouth and was about to light it .
Jiang Zhuoheng frowned . “Can you not smoke here and pollute the air?”
In the past, everyone smoked . So how could there be no cigarettes and alcohol in such gatherings?
Everyone was smart enough to guess that Jiang Zhuoheng’s sudden dislike for cigarettes was because of Xuxu’s pregnancy .
Hence, everyone resisted their urge lighting up some cigarettes .

As they were used to socializing in large-scale settings, all of them knew very well what jokes were appropriate or inappropriate to crack .
Hence, no one made use of the opportunity to tease Jiang Zhuoheng .
“Let’s drink . ” Someone took the lead and lifted his wineglass to liven up the atmosphere . “For some of us here, we haven’t met in over ten years . ”
“Precisely . Zhou Shuang left the country after graduating from high school . Even though she had returned for quite some time, today’s the first time we saw her since her return . ”
“And Zhao Zheng as well . ”
Everyone seemed to have forgotten about Zhao Zheng before his name was mentioned . Someone said, “Zhao Zheng, have more food and wine . Don’t avoid our gatherings . ”
Zhao Zheng hardly socialized with them in such a setting, and he indeed could not keep up with the pace .
If no one remembered him, they would have completely forgotten his presence .
Zhao Zheng nodded his head and foolishly smiled . “Yes . I won’t miss any more gatherings with my old classmates . ”
After that, he lifted his wineglass to propose a toast .
Yan Rusheng looked at them with disdain . Xuxu suddenly seemed to have anticipated this and shot him a stern look of warning .
Young Master Yan pouted and swallowed back the words he wanted to say after Zhao Zheng .
“I hope all of us can meet up more often . When all you Young Masters have struck gold, please don’t forget a nobody like us,” said Li Yun, and he flashed a smile .
He was a businessman . Even though his family was wealthy, when compared to Yan Rusheng and Jiang Zhuoheng, he was a far cry from them .
At the end of his sentence, everyone looked at him with disdain . “What a pretense!”
“He’s really pretentious . ”
Everyone raised their wine glasses collectively and toasted . Xuxu and Su Yue drank fresh fruit juices while Zhou Shuang had red wine .
The atmosphere brightened and everyone continued drinking and toasting to each other for the rest of the night .
“Young Master Yan, you and Xuxu were childhood sweethearts . Your love finally has its fruits . Since you’re the first in our group to be promoted to a father, let us have a toast . ”
Someone starting urging Yan Rusheng to start the ball rolling .
Before Yan Rusheng could respond, Xuxu immediately rejected on his behalf . “He can’t drink since he has to drive later . ”
It was better she kept mum because the moment she opened her mouth, all of them teased Yan Rusheng . “You brought your wife to help you abstain from drinking?”
