Chapter 153 Rescue
Seeing that Hana left in frustration, Lily was grateful to Vincent
After all, Hana hit her too fast just now. If he hadn't appeared, she wouldn't have been able to dodge the slap.
Lily sighed at the thought that Hana seemed to eat her up just now.
"Are you okay? Are you hurt?"
Watching the woman leave, Vincent looked at Lily up and down, seeming to see if she was hurt.
"Don't worry. I'm not at a disadvantage."
It seemed that Lily could tell his worry. After all, no one wanted such an unpleasant thing to happen to him or her.
"I'm sorry. I didn't take good care of you."
At the thought of the vicious woman just now, a surge of disgust rose in Vincent's heart. It was not that he did not see the woman's eyes looking at him, but it was precisely this that made him feel even more disgusted.
Such a woman was not only overconfident but also brainless.
As for his apology, Lily just waved her hand and said lightly, "it's okay. I want to go to the bathroom."
Vincent nodded and asked someone to lead her.
Looking at the direction where Hana had left, his eyes darkened. He thought about investigating how this woman had come here later. It seemed that he hadn't invited her at all.
Coupled with the obvious desire in her eyes just now, a strange smile appeared at the corners of his mouth, but his eyes were cold without any warmth.
When Lily came out of the bathroom, she saw that Vincent had set up a few barbecue grills. A group of students were gathering together and preparing food.
She wanted to find a quiet place to sit for a while, but before she could move her feet, she saw several classmates walking towards her.
Well, she knew that she couldn't leave, so she had to pull out a smile.
"Lily, we have been waiting for you for a long time. Let's go and have a talk."
"Yes, yes. We haven't seen each other for a long time!"
As they spoke, her classmates took her hand and walked towards them. She thought that she could minimize her sense of existence later.
However, how could she know that everyone had seen the scene that Vincent helped her out just now? Now, of course, they would not let her go and ask her carefully.
But they didn't ask Lily directly because they were afraid of Vincent.
They just sat around and began to ask about her current life.
"Lily, we seldom see you after graduation, especially you. You haven't shown up for once. Tell us where you went to explore the business opportunities?"
"Yes, yes. Lily, you were one of the few top students in our class. Where do you work now?"
Hearing their questions, the corners of Lily's mouth twitched slightly. She didn't expect that she really couldn't avoid them.
"Oh, I'm just in a small company. I just work overtime like you."
Lily didn't want to talk too much. She had indeed experienced a lot these years, but looking around, she felt that these people were not the right one for her to tell.
"Do you have a boyfriend? Why don't you bring him here?"
Sure enough, she finally met the question.
At the thought of her lovely son, Lily's heart softened. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
But she didn't have a boyfriend. After all, she was a divorced woman now.
Lily shook her head and changed the topic.
Her classmates just knew that she had lived a similar life as everyone else. Seeing that she didn't want to say anything, they didn't say anything and didn't continue to ask.
Not far away, a pair of vicious eyes had been staring at them, tightly locked on the body of Lily.
Because of what had happened just now, Hana couldn't get close to Vincent. She could only sit in a far corner and drink alone.
As her best friend, Anna stayed with her.
However, when she saw the gloom and unhappiness all over Hana's body, she also noticed that her bestie seemed to have some problems with Lily.
"What happened between you and her?"
She hesitated for a while and opened her mouth, perhaps because she cared about the state of Hana.
Hearing her bestie's question, Hana found an outlet like a balloon full of energy and poured her a lot of bitter water immediately.
Hearing that Lily was an unpardonable bitch, Anna felt a wave in her heart. She knew that her bestie must have overstated it, but she still comforted her, "we still need to think about it carefully. As you see, we can't hurt her now. Let's go first."
Hana knew that she couldn't take advantage of Lily now, so she had to withdraw her anger and left with Anna.
Through the people, looking at the resistance and indifference in her eyes, Vincent knew that Lily was lying just now.
Thinking of this, he pulled her away from the crowd of classmates who were asking questions.
Seeing this, Oscar also joined them. The three sat together and chatted about the time in college.
Vincent looked at the people playing around the grill and then turned to Lily.
"I still remember that in the past, several of us went out to have barbecue and beer, and on the second day after drinking, we didn't even go to class."
Hearing this, Lily also remembered the time when she hung out with her friends after class.
"Yeah, at that time, a simple barbecue beer would make us very happy."
At that time, everyone was carefree, not as flustered as when they just entered the society, not as cautious as when they were at work, and not so many thoughts about life. People were simple and happy.
Lily even felt as if she would never have the happiness at that time again in her life. That kind of happiness had become so far away. Thinking of the current life, she was confused again.
"Well, it's not easy for us to get together now. We must have a good meal today!"
Vincent said in time to pull Lily back from her trance. The three of them were happily chatting again.
"You guys talk first. I'm going out to buy something."
While they were talking, Oscar suddenly proposed to go out to buy something.
The two didn't care much about it and nodded to show that they knew.
It was not until then that she realized that Oscar hadn't come back for a long time.
Lily was a little confused. It took him a long time to buy that thing, and she wanted to walk around, so she told Vincent she went out to have a look.
"Okay, be careful."
At the same time, seeing that his classmate was looking for him, Vincent said something to Lily and then went there.
