Supremely Talented Tyrant-Chapter 1497 - 1696: A Pair of Shameless Lovers!

At this moment, Hao Jian, who had been silently standing by Liang Yuwei's side, seemed to sense her discomfort. Suddenly, he stepped forward and said, "Yuwei can't drink, I'll drink on her behalf."
With that, Hao Jian took the glass from Hou Longtao's hand and downed it in one gulp. Then, he walked to the table, grabbed a bottle of wine, poured another glass, drank it in one go, and poured another glass to drink it down.
After drinking the penalty of three glasses, Hao Jian made a gesture to show the others that he had finished, then returned to Liang Yuwei's side.
At that moment, Hou Longtao, who was watching with a suspicious look, was sizing up Hao Jian.
This kid was not making much sense, was he? So many people joined him in trying to get Liang Yuwei to drink, but he had to step in and finish the drinks for her instead.
He originally wanted Liang Yuwei to have some wine, and then perhaps do something he'd been planning. Otherwise, why gather so many classmates? Firstly, to show off in front of them, and secondly, to seize the opportunity to make a move on Liang Yuwei.
After all, such a beautiful girl, who would let this opportunity slip out of their hands?
Meanwhile, Hao Jian was also looking at Hou Longtao.
He thought to himself, seeing how the girls in Yuwei's class seemed hostile towards her, they were all smiles and chatters until she walked in, then they changed their attitude and sat silent, clearly envious of Liang Yuwei. Why wouldn't they be upset seeing all the guys they wanted encircling her while she ignored them? Although it wasn't openly discussed, they had formed a little alliance against her during school.
Liang Yuwei was already unfazed by all this.
However, she had instantly figured out what Hou Longtao was planning, alongside those male classmates. They were all echoing his words, clearly discussed in advance.
No wonder Liang Yuwei disliked attending these reunions. If it were him, he wouldn't come either.
But since Liang Yuwei brought him here this time and wanted him to pretend to be her boyfriend, naturally, he couldn't play the boyfriend role for nothing.
Hao Jian placed the glass on the table and said, "Hello everyone, I am Yuwei's boyfriend. I thank you all for looking after her during school."
Saying this, Hao Jian even made a gentlemanly bow.
However, as soon as Hao Jian spoke, the entire room burst into an uproar.
What! Liang Yuwei actually found a boyfriend? During school, she had plenty of admirers, many coming from prestigious families. Only those with towering credentials dared to pursue her.
Yet, even with all that, not a single person succeeded in winning Liang Yuwei over.
But who is this guy? Never heard of him, suddenly claiming to be Yuwei's boyfriend. Everyone was surprised.
The most surprised of all was Hou Longtao.
Liang Yuwei has a boyfriend, and he didn't know? Since when?
Hou Longtao glanced at Liang Yuwei and then said, "Yuwei, is this really your boyfriend?"
When he asked, he completely disregarded Hao Jian's presence, reeking of someone who dared put on airs in front of him. Watch how he deals with him.
Yet, Liang Yuwei didn't even answer him, nor did she spare him a glance. Instead, she walked over to Hao Jian and affectionately took his arm, saying, "He is my boyfriend, Hao Jian!"
Applause erupted from the audience.
Someone exclaimed, "Oh my, our class beauty is finally off the market, congratulations!"
At this point, a girl who had been silent and was relatively close to Liang Yuwei during school said, "Yuwei, when did you find a boyfriend and not tell me? You're being too aloof!"
Liang Yuwei could only give a somewhat embarrassed smile.
Meanwhile, a girl dressed ostentatiously sitting next to the empty seat, next to Hou Longtao's original spot, made a disdainful face and muttered under her breath, "Tch, what's so great about being off the market?"
The person next to her, perhaps fearing Liang Yuwei would hear, nudged the speaking girl slightly to hush her, but the girl simply looked impatient.
All this didn't escape Hao Jian's keen observation.
It was clear that some people here were indifferent, but some were obviously adverse to Liang Yuwei.
If that's the case, Hao Jian would commit to the act to the end, he thought to himself.
By now, Hou Longtao was filled with rage, partly because Liang Yuwei ignored him and partly because of this suddenly appearing boyfriend, Hao Jian. Nonetheless, given he was someone with a reputation, he maintained a calm exterior.
So he laughed and said, "Yuwei, you're at least the class beauty of our class. When did you get a boyfriend and not tell us? Isn't that too distant?"
Before, Liang Yuwei didn't say anything because Hou Longtao was only targeting her. But just now, Hou Longtao ignored Hao Jian and asked Yuwei if Hao Jian was her boyfriend. This made Liang Yuwei unhappy.
So Liang Yuwei said, "Finding a boyfriend is my business. Do I have to tell you everything? Who do you think you are!"
Upon hearing this, Hou Longtao got angry, but thought it wasn't good to act out in front of so many classmates here.
Hmph! I'll let you be arrogant for now. Wait until you're in the palm of my hand, let's see how you handle it.
Then, Hou Longtao calmly said, "No need, no need, indeed. It's my fault for being presumptuous."
Immediately, Hou Longtao pulled out a chair and said, "Please have a seat!"
Liang Yuwei, however, said, "No need."
At this moment, Hao Jian pulled out another stool and let Liang Yuwei sit down.
Hou Longtao could only make an awkward yet polite smile.
Immediately after, with Hou Longtao's signal, the waiter quickly began to serve the dishes.
Hou Longtao said, "Everyone, eat and drink well. If you don't eat and drink enough, it means you're not giving me, Hou Longtao, face!"
People chatted and casually ate something. At this time, some classmates who used to have a good relationship with Liang Yuwei came over to catch up with her. Hao Jian sat beside Liang Yuwei, a bit bored, and observed Hou Longtao.
The outwardly friendly Hou Longtao was actually full of malice, which Hao Jian noticed at a glance due to his keen ability to observe people developed over the years.
Hou Longtao greeted every classmate with a smile. Clearly, as the host of this event, he was the focal point among the crowd. Some were even awed by his wealth, so they kept flattering him.
This was just a common scene at class reunions.
Hao Jian smiled, as he naturally noticed much more than just that.
Listening to Liang Yuwei chatting with classmates, Hao Jian learned that the woman who had spoken ill of Liang Yuwei earlier was named Lin Xiaozu. She was actually quite pretty.
According to Liang Yuwei's classmates, she was the class and school beauty early on. Meanwhile, Lin Xiaozu was also considered beautiful, and before Liang Yuwei transferred in, the recognized class beauty was always Lin Xiaozu. But since Liang Yuwei arrived, she became the recognized class beauty.
Moreover, the boys at school regarded Liang Yuwei as the school beauty, which infuriated Lin Xiaozu. The scheming between women ensued, and so Lin Xiaozu considered Liang Yuwei her number one enemy.
Over the years, Lin Xiaozu and those envious and jealous of Liang Yuwei often targeted her.
Meanwhile, outwardly all smiles, Lin Xiaozu was secretly up to something with Hou Longtao under the table.
Others couldn't tell, but as an experienced onlooker, Hao Jian easily could.
Hou Longtao held a glass of wine with his left hand, drinking with the male classmates, but his right hand wasn't idle, stroking Lin Xiaozu under the table. Lin Xiaozu showed no sign of resistance; instead, she seemed delighted.
Hao Jian took a small sip of wine, continuing to watch the entertaining show.
Lin Xiaozu tightened her legs, pretending to calmly drink and converse with friends nearby.
Lin Xiaozu seemed to have prepared everything meticulously, then coyly looked at Hou Longtao.
The two of them, right in front of everyone, were secretly engaged in some intimate act.
At this moment, Hou Longtao suddenly whispered something into Lin Xiaozu's ear, then got up and left the table. Shortly after, Lin Xiaozu followed him out.
Hao Jian laughed, told Liang Yuwei beside him that he was going out for some air, and she agreed. Hao Jian immediately followed them out.
Hao Jian walked behind them, but they didn't notice.
He saw Hou Longtao waiting outside for Lin Xiaozu, who came up and hugged him. Then Hou Longtao wrapped his arm around Lin Xiaozu and headed for the men's restroom.
What they were going to do, how could Hao Jian not know? So Hao Jian followed them.
He watched as Hou Longtao, impatient, got Lin Xiaozu into the restroom and closed the door.
