Chapter 209 The Only Time I Ran Away from Home

Yuan Xi was indeed very afraid of having her teeth pulled when she was a child. She was basically very well behaved when she was a child, and the only time she cried was because of the tooth extraction during the tooth replacement period.

When I was a child, I did something stupid. Because I didn't want to have a tooth pulled, I ran away from home and went to my brother Zhuangzhuang's house.

Please ask Brother Zhuangzhuang to take her back to City A.

By then she had already gotten into the car and the driver had already started the vehicle.

Yuan Xi was reluctant to leave her parents but was afraid of having her teeth pulled out, so she just wiped her tears in the car.

Brother Zhuangzhuang saw her crying, so in order to comfort her, he gave her a White Rabbit milk candy.

The loosened deciduous teeth stuck to the candy.

After the tooth fell out, Yuan Xi got out of the car and went home obediently.

The only time Yuan Xi ran away from home ended before her parents discovered she had run away and before she left Huxi Village.

Yuan Xi recalled the silly things he did when he was young, and smiled, "I'm not afraid of tooth extraction now, but I think it's too troublesome, and I have to take anesthesia and so on. The last time this wisdom tooth got inflamed was when I was in college. I thought it wouldn't get inflamed again. It might be because I had a child that it got inflamed again."

Yuan Xi covered his teeth and felt that the teeth that had been a little painful the day before were indeed hurting too much today.

Or maybe it was because of the alcohol.

Huo Shiyan said: "Let's go to City A and see what the dentist says. If he recommends extracting the tooth, then we should extract it."

Because of the pain, Yuan Xi didn't want to talk much and made an OK gesture.

When Yuan Xi and Huo Shiyan came out of the gym, they met a woman in a dress.

"Yuan Xi! It's really you!"

Yuan Xi saw the woman in front of him and chuckled, covering her cheek and said, "Ding Yiyi, long time no see, this is my husband Huo Shiyan."

Ding Yiyi was her deskmate in high school and one of the few friends who had her high school WeChat account.

Yuan Xi looked at Huo Shiyan: "This is my high school deskmate and roommate Ding Yiyi."

Huo Shiyan said: "Hello."

Ding Yiyi smiled faintly and said, "Hello, Yuan Xi, you are not really here to attend Zhu Jie's wedding today, are you?"

Ding Yiyi said, "We haven't been in touch in the class group for a long time. Zhu Jie sent a message saying that you must come. I thought that after we graduated, we would have a class reunion during the summer vacation after graduation. There will be no class reunions after that, so I came to get together. I didn't expect that you would come even though you have become the chairman of a billionaire company?"

Yuan Xi chuckled and shook his head, "No, I don't plan to attend his wedding. It's not because I'm the chairman. If you invite me to your wedding, I will definitely make time to go, but forget about Zhu Jie."

Ding Yiyi said: "I knew you couldn't stand him in the past, so why would you come to his wedding? But it's still quite rare to meet you today."

Yuan Xi said: "Yes, since graduation, we have only met in the circle of friends."

Ding Yiyi smiled and said, "I feel really honored that you didn't delete me as a friend on WeChat..."

Yuan Xi smiled and said, "We fought side by side for two years in high school. How could I delete you?"

Ding Yiyi chuckled and said, "I'll go to the wedding banquet hall first."

Yuan Xi also smiled and waved to Ding Yiyi, "Let's have dinner together next time if we have a chance."

Ding Yiyi said: "Okay."

After Ding Yiyi left, Yuan Xi covered her face again and said to Huo Shiyan: "When Ding Yiyi was in college, she might have heard about my situation and took the initiative to ask me if I wanted to borrow money. She is a very good person." Huo Shiyan looked at Yuan Xi: "You are also a very good person, so there will be people around you who are willing to help you. All efforts are mutual."

Yuan Xi looked up at Huo Shiyan and smiled softly, "You go back to your room to take a shower and change clothes. I'll go to the box to order food first."

Huo Shiyan said: "Order more light food."

Yuan Xi said: "I understand."

The box that Yuan Xi went to passed by the hotel's banquet hall.

Zhu Jie was welcoming guests outside the door. When he saw Yuan Xi coming over, he said loudly, "Yuan Xi, I knew you would come today. It would be difficult for you to come to a banquet hall like the Shiyi Hotel with your husband, right?"

Several high school classmates who had just entered the banquet hall came out when they heard the name Yuan Xi.

An outgoing classmate came over and shook hands with Yuan Xi, and the introverted classmates couldn't help but take out their phones to secretly take pictures.

Yuan Xi chuckled and shook hands with the classmates who came to say hello, but the embarrassing thing was that she really forgot the names of several of her high school classmates, especially since there were 46 people in their class.

Because Yuan Xi was tall and sat further back, she was not familiar with some of the male students in the front row.

What's more, so many years have passed and she couldn't remember his name all of a sudden. Yuan Xi looked at Ding Yiyi, but Ding Yiyi couldn't help her. She just called him old classmate, which eased Yuan Xi's embarrassment.

Zhu Jie didn't understand why his high school classmates all gathered around to look at Yuan Xi.

Zhu Jie looked at Yuan Xi's attire and said with a proud look on his face, "Yuan Xi, Yuan Xi, you were too shy to be with me in high school, but look at how you've gotten along now, you don't even have a diamond ring. It's ok not to have one for the wedding, but how can you not have a diamond ring? At the very least, you'll have to buy one for 30 yuan!"

While speaking, Zhu Jie intentionally or unintentionally revealed his Audemars Piguet Royal Oak watch.

The high school classmates all looked at Zhu Jie as if he were a fool.

Ding Yiyi looked at Zhu Jie and said, "Zhu Jie, you entered the research institute after graduation. Have you never been exposed to the Internet?"

I don’t know how many times Yuan Xi has been on the hot search this year, and Yuan Xi is on several rich lists.

It turned out that Zhu Jie knew nothing about Yuan Xi's current identity.

Zhu Jie said, "What Internet? I am not addicted to it. In reality, successful people don't go online to seek a sense of existence. Only people at the bottom of society who have free time at work pay attention to the Internet."

Ding Yiyi was so angry at Zhu Jie's words that she was speechless: "Michen CEO Gu Hanchen posts short videos every day. Is he also at the bottom of society?"

Zhu Jie didn't continue to discuss with Ding Yiyi whether to turn off the Internet or not. He just said to Yuan Xi, "Stop standing there and sit inside. Why doesn't your husband come with you?"

Yuan Xi said, "No, I wish you a happy wedding. Today, except for the drinks, I will give you an 88% discount. In the future, other classmates who want to come to Shiyi Hotel to hold a banquet can also enjoy an 88% discount regardless of the number of tables. I have something else to do so I won't attend the wedding banquet."

It is very difficult to book the banquet hall of Shiyi Hotel in Jiangcheng, and there are basically no discounts at all.

88% off is already a huge benefit.

Zhu Jie looked at Yuan Xi, "Are you working in the Shiyi Hotel now? You said you didn't admit that you liked me at first. Look, now you can only work in the hotel to serve us."

Zhu Jie said to Yuan Xi with great pride: "You regret it now, don't you? I asked you to be my girlfriend, but you were too shy to agree. It's too late for you to regret it now. I won't marry a married woman like you. I'm working at the Xinwei Technology Research Institute now, and my annual salary is 800,000! When there is big capital investment in our Xinwei, an annual salary of one million won't be a problem."

Zhu Jie took out a box from his pocket and showed it to Yuan Xi: "This is the Cartier diamond ring I bought for my wife. Let me show you. I'm afraid your husband has never even let you wear a diamond ring. How pitiful."

Yuan Xi felt that the word "Xinwei" sounded familiar, as if it was a project that Shixi Finance was discussing to acquire recently.

No wonder Zhu Jie is more confident than he was in high school…
