Chapter 13

However, Alan Yager strongly disagreed with Miss Lei's perspective.

Don't you realize this? What you wear isn't important; what matters most is your overall demeanor!

I'm so handsome—when I'm naked, people actually think I'm a king!

If it really looks like a pig, and isn't even fully branded with luxury labels—well, wouldn't it still be just as disgusting as a dung beetle?

“ you ！”

To Alan Yager's lofty arguments, Gail Lanley merely opened her mouth—and for a moment, she found no valid counterargument.

At that very moment, a pleasant greeting suddenly echoed from the Seattle Golden Dragon Hotel.

Gael Lanley, you're here! Why didn't you say hello? I needed to come out right away to greet our campus beauty queen.

Following the sound, Alan Yager and Gail Lanley saw a young woman with heavy makeup and a dazzling outfit walking briskly out of the hotel.

Looking at the visitor, Gael Lanley also smiled slightly.

What's the point of welcoming or not? We're all classmates—there's no need for such formalities!

To Zhao Lili, Gail Lanli's polite words sounded more like a gentle smile.

Isn't it true that your family doesn't have much money? I'm worried you've never stayed at such a high-end hotel before—you might get lost later!

Zhao Lili's words left Alan Yager completely confused.

"Lost? The Gail Lanley family doesn't have any money?"

Since Alan Yager was not well acquainted with Seattle's elite circles, he was unaware that the Lanley family—one of the city's three prominent families—had only risen to prominence in the past decade.

Before that, Lauren Lanley was just a small vendor running a stall on an antique street. So their family really didn't have much money.

Seeing Alan Yager's confusion, Gail Lanley had no intention of explaining anything.

At that moment, he didn't take Zhao Lili's words seriously and simply smiled at her kindly.

Lili, thank you for your kindness. They should be here by now; please take me inside quickly!

Alright!

At Gail Lanley's urging, Zhao Lili said little and led her, along with Alan Yager, straight to the Seattle Golden Dragon Hotel.

As she walked through the hotel lobby, Zhao Lili gave Alan Yager a puzzled look before turning to Gale Lanley.

"Who is this, Gael Lanley?"

hearing Zhao Lili's question, Gail Lanli turned her head slightly and glanced at Alan Yeger.

"He's my boyfriend!"

To Gail Lanli's response, Zhao Lili merely said "Oh" indifferently, while inwardly sneering.

Gail Lanli, you're clearly pretending to be ignorant even when you know full well what the purpose of today's class reunion is—yet you still brought your boyfriend along.

It seems this man will end up being a complete fool who's only bringing shame upon himself.

After half a minute, the three of them arrived at the entrance of the Emperor Hall at the Seattle Golden Dragon Hotel.

Through the door of the private room, Alan Yegel could see a group of men and women already gathered in the Imperial Hall.

Moreover, they give a clear sense of hierarchy.

All of Gail Lanley's classmates gathered around a man dressed in a luxury suit.

Needless to say, this man must be the organizer of this class reunion.

As expected, the moment Gael Lanley stepped into the Emperor's Hall private room, the man approached him quickly.

Gael Lanley, you're finally here!

"If you don't come, wouldn't this class reunion be a complete waste of time?"

hearing these straightforward words, Gale Lanley smiled faintly.

Ron Potter, weren't you the one who invited all these classmates? Even if I don't attend the reunion, how could it possibly be a waste?

When Ron Porter heard what Gale Lanley said, he simply waved his hand indifferently.

You know full well how sincere my feelings for you really are!

For all these years, I've never stopped longing to pursue you.

If you really don't show up, what's the point of treating these poor souls to a meal?

Ron Porter's remarks were filled with clear contempt.

Although these classmates of Gale Lanley felt quite uncomfortable hearing this.

Yet in today's society, where money reigns supreme, those with wealth are the ones who hold the power.

Therefore, no matter how displeased these people might be, none of them dared to speak out publicly against Ron波特.

Instead, it was each and every one of them who started cheering him on.

Gael Lanley, Ron Porter is utterly devoted to you—just follow his lead!

Indeed, it's no easy task to find a man of such young age who has already achieved remarkable success in his career.

Amid the constant praise from those around him, Ron Potter nodded with a sense of superiority.

It seems my invitation to these poor folks for dinner was well worth it.

Gael Lanley said nothing about the situation; he merely maintained a faint smile on his face and stepped back to Alan Yeger's side.

Immediately, a pair of delicate arms gently placed themselves around his shoulders as they cast an apologetic glance at Ron Potter.

Ron Porter is truly grateful for your admiration. However, I'm sorry—I've got a boyfriend!

The words "boyfriend" came out of Gael Lanley's mouth.

All the students present were completely stunned.

The very first school beauty from my high school days actually has a boyfriend... and it's someone with such an unremarkable appearance?

Regarding the doubts held by his former classmates, Ron Porter addressed them directly.

"Gael Lanley, are you saying this is just some random thing from your boyfriend?"

It's clear that Ron Porter, a successful businessman, genuinely looked down on someone like Alan Yager—a guy dressed in a T-shirt and jeans—as utterly insignificant.

Even Zhao Lili, who was leading Gael Lanley and Alan Yager into the Emperor's Hall private room, couldn't hold back her emotions.

Gael Lanley, I'm not saying this lightly—even if you're looking for a boyfriend, make sure he's decent.

You should know your father simply runs a stall on the antique street, dealing with those old, shabby items. What good could you possibly get from such a poor, ordinary man for your future life?

Ron Porter, on the other hand, is a completely different story. He's now a senior executive at the Fang Group and has achieved great success in his career. Only by working alongside him can you expect a promising future.

Gail Lanley is known as the "Fire Rose" in Seattle. At first, when I heard my old classmate criticizing Alan Yager, I thought it was nothing serious.

Now it has escalated to the point of interfering in one's own life, fully revealing Little Chili's true nature.

That's enough. You're merely my classmates; it's not your place to judge how I'll fare in the future!

To Alan Yager, the scene before him was utterly hilarious.

I really wonder if they ever think about it when they're all acting so arrogant.

What expression would she have when she learned that Gail Lanley was the young lady of the Lanley family—one of Seattle's three prominent families?

Ron Porter could clearly see Alan Yager's slight shake of his head and his faint smile.

Just now, when Gail Lanli publicly confronted him directly, it already annoyed him greatly. Now you, a poor nobody, dare to laugh at me? Do you really think I'm some sick cat that doesn't show its strength?

Then Ron Porter pointed directly at Alan Yager and shouted.

You poor wretch—what's the point of laughing? Hiding behind women and watching them stand up for you? That's pure pleasure, isn't it?

Let me tell you: being poor is just that—poor. Don't think that just because you've met a beautiful woman, your future will suddenly improve significantly.

At this point, Ron Porter walked back to the center of the Imperial Hall at the Seattle Golden Dragon Hotel and tapped the eight bottles of white liquor placed on the table.

See those eight bottles of Moutai? Together, they're worth nearly 100,000 yuan – a luxury liquor that your entire family might never be able to afford, even after working their whole lives.
