The name Jason echoed in my mind like a familiar melody. After some thought, I finally remembered that I had met Jason family father and son at last year's welcome dinner, when my parents introduced me to them.

At that time, Jason seemed so cautious and humble that he didn't even dare to look me in the eye. After all, Qiaosheng International was just as small as an ant in front of the Jones Family Group...

Not long after, Serene finally arrived. The table was full of food and wine, but no one dared to eat. This scene was enough to show her respected status in the class.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to be late." She explained, "Jason insisted on taking me to the jewelry store to try on a necklace before leaving , so I was delayed for a while and kept everyone waiting."

The classmates said it was okay. At this time, Serene noticed me in the corner, her mouth slightly raised, and her eyes revealed a half-smile. She didn't take the initiative to speak, and I didn't want to say hello.

At the pleading of a female classmate, Serene reluctantly took out the necklace she had just bought. The room was immediately filled with compliments and praises, all praising Jason for his unique vision and Serene for being so lucky.

Wendy asked the question on everyone's mind: "Serene, this necklace must be worth a lot of money, right?"

Serene put the necklace back into the exquisite box and smiled calmly: "It's not expensive, only 680,000."

" 680,000?!" The classmates gasped. The price of this necklace is enough to buy a house in the suburbs.

However, they don’t know that the wedding gift I prepared for Serene is worth ten times more than this necklace!

Everyone was moved, but I was calm and sat quietly on the chair. I had made up my mind to find a chance to give the gift to Serene after dinner, and then leave quietly. As for future class reunions, I am afraid I will never attend them again.

Halfway through the dinner, Wendy suggested going to the lobby to take photos. I don't know whether it was intentional or not, but no one invited me to go. I was happy to be alone, so I stayed in the private room and called my mother.

" Xiao Shu, how was the party? Are you happy to see so many old classmates?" I heard my mother's voice.

"It's okay. After all, we haven't seen each other for so many years. I feel quite touched." I responded, without mentioning my grievances so as not to worry my mother.

"That's good. We will finish the meeting soon. I'll pick you up when we go to your aunt's house later," said the mother.

"Okay," I replied.

Soon after I hung up the phone, my classmates came back one after another. They were all smiling and laughing. I was the only one sitting quietly in the corner, looking out of place.

Just then, the door of the private room was knocked open and the hotel manager walked in with the waiter.

" Excuse me, this is the red wine from Jones Family Group for you." said the manager.

A male student looked at the red wine bottle on the cart with a surprised expression: "Romanee-Conti? My God, this bottle must be worth hundreds of thousands, right?"

The manager didn't answer, but the indifferent expression on his face said it all. I knew that this was probably the mother's idea, she wanted to support her daughter and make the classmates happy. However, the classmates who didn't know the truth started to talk about it.

"The Jones Family Group actually sent us wine? This... this is impossible, right?"

"Why not? Qiaosheng International and Jones Family Group have close cooperation, and Serene is the fiancée of the crown prince Jason. It is reasonable to send a few bottles of red wine to build relations."

"Yes, I think so too."

" School beauty Xiang is so proud! We are far behind!"

Serene's eyes were crescent-shaped, and she couldn't hide her pride and complacency. She waved her hand modestly: "It's just a few bottles of red wine, it's nothing. I'll ask Jason to call and thank her later." Her every move showed the style of a future rich lady. The classmates flattered her even more happily.

After the manager and the waiter left, Serene just sat down and her face suddenly changed: "Who touched my bag?"
