The Urban Medical Martial Immortal-Chapter 1440 - 1433: A Table of Diverse Faces

Beihai Vineyard, not just any hotel or restaurant, but a real vineyard!

Besides the restaurant itself, Lin Tian also noticed a large estate behind it, with vineyards and various recreational facilities.

Although he didn’t know if the vineyard truly made its own wine, the scale alone was impressive.

The vineyard itself was clearly high-end!

In front of the vineyard, there was a row of luxury cars, even the least expensive ones costing hundreds of thousands!

Shi Lan’s little Ruiqi, worth less than a hundred thousand, stuck out like a sore thumb among them!

"Judging from your classmate, he’s probably a true rich second-generation young master!"

After getting out of the car, Lin Tian looked around and nodded in surprise: "It’s not easy to set up such a large vineyard!"

"It’s my classmate Zhang Gai! He was originally from Yanjing but went to Mizhou City to study mainly because he loves the sea! As a local of Yanjing, and having established such a vineyard, his family surely isn’t simple!"

Shi Lan looked at the grand and imposing hotel building and sighed, then smiled to Lin Tian: "So for a banquet like this, especially with our teacher coming, I didn’t want to be too casual, and thought of buying something more formal! Thanks a lot for today!"

Lin Tian’s face showed an understanding look and he nodded slightly.

"Let’s go, the banquet is held in the restaurant on the third floor!"

Shi Lan smiled sweetly, naturally took Lin Tian’s arm, and walked in.

Lin Tian’s body slightly stiffened, then relaxed.

"Wow, Laanlaan, you’re here! We haven’t seen each other for so long!"

As soon as they entered the hall on the third floor, a delicate voice came out.

A quiet girl with black-framed glasses excitedly ran up, hugged Shi Lan tightly, looking quite emotional.

The sudden familiar voice and sudden hug left Shi Lan a bit stunned.

After a while, she pushed the hugging girl away, looked at her with wide eyes, and said in amazement: "Tongtong, aren’t you over in Gusu City? You said earlier that you were busy, so why did you come all this way now!"

At this moment.

Lin Tian also noticed the girl in front of him.

She had a ponytail, with wispy bangs on her forehead, a delicate oval face behind black-framed glasses, and light makeup.

She wore a white blouse with flower bud patterns and a knee-length skirt, paired with black high heels, bringing out her not-so-tall figure beautifully.

Her outfit and style initially looked fresh and bright, but compared to others in the hall, it seemed ordinary.

Everyone here was dressed in opulence.

Even Shi Lan, wearing expensive clothes, couldn’t stand out.

This place was a showcase of wealth!

"Laanlaan, are you surprised?"

The girl held Shi Lan’s hand, unwilling to let go, and said joyfully, "I wasn’t going to come. But my annual leave overlapped with the Mid-Autumn holiday! Besides, I haven’t seen you in two years, so here I am!"

"That’s great! You can have fun with me in Yanjing for the next few days!"

Shi Lan’s eyes brightened, also speaking with excitement.

It’s clear the two have been very good friends since university.

"Lin Tian, this is my college classmate and my best friend, Mao Zitong!"

After some small talk, Shi Lan swiftly introduced Lin Tian, then said to Mao Zitong: "This is Lin Tian... my... my friend!"

When introducing Lin Tian, Shi Lan could only say "friend."

Because she knew very little about Lin Tian.

And their acquaintance was somewhat accidental. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

Friend?

Mao Zitong blinked her beautiful eyes, glanced at Lin Tian, and there was something unusual in her gaze.

Only because the young man in front of her was too handsome!

Not just facially handsome, but his whole aura!

It seemed he naturally exuded an extraordinary presence, a strangely captivating feeling.

Very quickly, Mao Zitong noticed Shi Lan holding Lin Tian’s arm, making them look quite intimate.

"Hello!"

Mao Zitong came back to her senses, her eyes squinting like crescent moons as she greeted Lin Tian.

"Hello!"

Lin Tian smiled and nodded lightly.

"Speaking of which, you two..."

Mao Zitong pointed at Shi Lan’s and Lin Tian’s arms linked together, whereupon she quickly blinked, then leaned close to Shi Lan’s ear and said: "Laanlaan... isn’t he younger than you? You’re robbing the cradle! But he’s really handsome! You must make the most of it! No wonder you ignored Zhang Gai’s relentless pursuit; turns out you had someone hidden!"

"Tongtong, what nonsense are you talking!"

Shi Lan’s face suddenly flushed red, glaring at her while anxiously letting go of Lin Tian’s arm.

Lin Tian, having overheard their words, merely smiled without saying anything.

"Hehe... why are you two being so sneaky!"

Mao Zitong chuckled and said: "Come on, let’s go! Our Mr. Chen and many classmates are here!"

Then, Mao Zitong led the way towards a round table in the hall.

In the hotel hall, there were around twenty tables, filled with people from various industries.

But those invited by Zhang Gai were mostly not ordinary.

They were either company executives or other business giants!

Only the table Mao Zitong led to was filled with Zhang Gai’s classmates and university professors.

Dining in the hall could be a bit noisy.

But the benefits were also apparent.

It allowed everyone to showcase their status and achievements.

The most important part was the opportunity for many people to communicate and collaborate.

Soon enough.

Lin Tian followed Shi Lan and Mao Zitong to the table.

The twenty-or-so people already seated looked up, including Gao Xiaoxiao and Fan Juun, whom he had previously encountered in Yipin Pavilion.

Almost everyone’s attention was drawn to Shi Lan.

The men looked amazed, while the women’s expressions turned sour with a hint of jealousy.

Although Shi Lan wasn’t the very top goddess, during university, among her classmates, she was the most outstanding in both talent and beauty.

Many girls were envious and jealous!

Many boys idolized her as a goddess, longing for her.

Sadly, during university, Zhang Gai, one of the few top-class young masters, constantly pursued Shi Lan, leaving other boys to only watch, afraid to express their intentions of pursuing Shi Lan.

Now.

Everyone had left university, and Shi Lan didn’t end up with Zhang Gai; quite a few still-single boys felt a stir in their hearts.

However, many girls, although envious and jealous, felt a sense of satisfaction.

For a moment, their gaze towards Shi Lan carried a hint of schadenfreude.

Back in university, many girls had considered Zhang Gai as their dream Prince Charming.

Unfortunately, unrequited love flowed silently away; Zhang Gai only cared for Shi Lan!

Naturally, many girls felt jealousy and hatred towards Shi Lan!

"Shi Lan, you’re here!"

"Shi Lan, long time no see!"

"Wow, our class’s number one goddess is here, huh!"

"Shi Lan, sit over here!"

"Look at you all... seeing Shi Lan, you reveal your beastly nature; when you saw us earlier, you weren’t this enthusiastic..."

...

The table full of classmates, upon seeing Shi Lan, were initially stunned, then erupted into a commotion; some warmly greeted her, some forced smiles, and some spoke sarcastically. Their gazes towards Shi Lan varied, presenting all sorts of attitudes.

Compared to their university days, people had joined society and become more pragmatic, with more complexities!

This was a "game" adults played under the guise of their masks!
