The elderly man with graying hair was none other than Ye Feng's high school homeroom teacher, Mr. Tu Liguo.

Whether in the past or now, Ye Feng's respect for the elderly man before him remained unchanged.

Back then, Ye Feng's family wasn't well-off.

At that time, Chen Mei raised Ye Feng on her own, which was extremely difficult, especially during his high school years.

During those days, the help this elderly man gave him was like that of a second parent.

Ye Feng could never forget it.

When the school was building a new teaching block, this former mentor merely mentioned it to Ye Feng.

Without hesitation, Ye Feng donated ten million, giving his mentor significant face at the school.

Ye Feng still remembered the last time he saw Mr. Tu before going to prison; the man didn't look so old then.

Time indeed spares no one. In just a few short years, this once seemingly stern mentor had aged considerably.

Thinking of this, Ye Feng felt more heartache than anything else.

He hurried forward, grasped Mr. Tu Liguo's aged hand, and said softly, "Mr. Tu, I've embarrassed you over the years."

"There's no need to talk about the past. As long as you're well, that's all that matters."

"Sit down, and let's have a good chat."

Mr. Tu Liguo quickly invited Ye Feng to sit.

Ye Feng awkwardly realized there were no chairs left at the table.

"Mr. Tu, maybe Ye Feng should sit over there."

"This table isn't for just anyone to sit at!"

At this moment, a sarcastic voice sounded nearby.

The speaker was Fu Hai.

Ye Feng remembered that Fu Hai seemed to have a good relationship with He Chunqing.

Back in high school, when He Chunqing picked a fight with him, it was the two of them against Ye Feng.

Though Ye Feng appeared frail and thin, he wasn't short, nearly reaching 1.8 meters at the time.

He Chunqing and Fu Hai were just over 1.7 meters, and Ye Feng took them both on, leaving them crying for their parents.

Later, they even went to complain to Mr. Tu Liguo.

Mr. Tu knew Ye Feng's character very well; he was usually quiet and studious.

He would never provoke others unless he was pushed to the limit.

Therefore, Mr. Tu not only didn't punish Ye Feng but scolded the other two instead.

Mr. Tu, aware of the past conflict between Ye Feng and them, quickly said, "Ye Feng, sit right here."

Then he turned to Fu Hai and said, "Say less!"

"Hmph."

Fu Hai turned his head away in dissatisfaction, saying nothing more.

Ye Feng smiled slightly, completely ignoring him, and waved to a nearby waiter, "Bring me a chair!"

In such a high-end restaurant, especially in a private room like this, waitstaff are always on standby during meals.

Hearing Ye Feng's request, the well-dressed, attractive waitress quickly responded, "Certainly, sir, please wait a moment."

She promptly brought Ye Feng a chair.

Under the curious gazes of his classmates, Ye Feng sat beside Mr. Tu Liguo without a hint of embarrassment.

The long-separated teacher and student began to chat passionately.

Mr. Tu Liguo smiled warmly, asking Ye Feng about his well-being.

Mr. Tu was always partial, treating Ye Feng exceptionally well. Even now, when Ye Feng was a convicted felon, Mr. Tu's attitude remained unchanged, causing some in the room to feel a sense of injustice.

Su Weiwei also sat down nearby, while Fu Hai, like a simp, tried to engage her in conversation with what he thought was a gentlemanly demeanor.

The entire room gradually entered a lively and harmonious atmosphere.

Ye Feng's arrival clearly sparked many discussions.

People began to whisper.

"Didn't they say Ye Feng was sentenced quite severely? How is he out?"

"Who knows? Maybe he escaped secretly."

"Back in the day, he was so successful, worth over a billion, and now he's fallen to this."

The classmates, no longer the naive teenagers from their school days, had been tempered by society.

Naturally, they could tell at a glance that Ye Feng's current appearance was quite shabby.

His clothes were obviously cheap, likely bought in a hurry after just getting out.

Otherwise, who would wear such poorly made clothes to a class reunion?

The murmurs continued.

"No matter how down and out Ye Feng is, he once reached such heights, unlike ordinary people."

Some held a different view of Ye Feng.

"So what if he was successful before? Now he's just out of prison, with a criminal record. Forget about making a comeback; even finding a job will be tough."

Some classmates sighed.

"He deserves it. Who told him to break the law? Do you think he earned his money legally back then?"

Others mocked.

Even though they spoke in hushed tones, Ye Feng could clearly hear their words, but he didn't care much.

"Hey, I told you to dress better. Don't these words bother you?"

Su Weiwei leaned close to Ye Feng's ear, speaking anxiously.

"What should I do? Beat them up?"

Ye Feng joked.

"You're so carefree!"

Seeing Ye Feng's calm demeanor, Su Weiwei muttered under her breath.

Ye Feng ignored her, turning back to continue chatting with Mr. Tu Liguo.

As Ye Feng and Su Weiwei whispered to each other, although the others didn't know what they were saying, their intimate manner irritated many male classmates. After all, Su Weiwei was the object of many secret crushes back in school.

Especially Fu Hai, whose face turned as dark as soot.

Seeing Su Weiwei again, he naturally had intentions.

Since graduating high school, Fu Hai had attended a decent university. Although it couldn't compare to the one Ye Feng attended, it was still a top-tier school, considered above average in their class.

After graduating, he joined a large company and, after years of hard work, had risen to the position of manager.

Among his classmates, he was considered somewhat successful.

Confident in his "exceptional" demeanor and well-honed conversational skills, he hoped to win over Su Weiwei at this reunion, making up for the regret of not pursuing her back then.

However, Su Weiwei showed little interest in him, chatting perfunctorily, preferring instead to occasionally turn and exchange a few words with Ye Feng, displaying an affectionate demeanor that made Fu Hai intensely jealous.

Why?

Back then, Ye Feng excelled in academics and stole the spotlight.

Now, even as a convicted felon, he still had Su Weiwei's undivided attention?

Suppressing his displeasure, Fu Hai ultimately said nothing.

After briefly mentioning Ye Feng, the group moved on to other topics, mindful that Ye Feng was present, avoiding anything too blatant.

They each engaged in conversations that suited their interests.

Class reunions were like this: those who were successful and those who weren't sat at different tables, and people grouped together based on their relationships.

They each discussed topics that pleased them.

Those who weren't doing well liked to reminisce, while those who were successful preferred to talk about their careers and connections.

At Ye Feng's table, someone mentioned, "I heard the chairman of Yunfeng Group jumped to his death!"

As the largest company in Liancheng City, the chairman's sudden suicide had already shaken the city's elite.
