“Sigh, as girls, we shouldn’t resort to violence. I have love in my heart now; I’m gentle now.” Lin Gantang eventually picked up her favorite pearl necklace.
Ye Qjuqiu thought, “Why don’t I believe you?”
Shi Muzhen arrived early at the banquet.
Shi Muzhen had been active in the high school class group chat all along, so everyone was quite clear about her recent situation. Not only did they know that she was the daughter of the Shi Group, but her family was rich and she did not need to work. This made them all extremely envious. They also knew that she was now the future daughter-in-law of the Gu family and would soon live the life of a rich lady. This made them even more envious.
“Zhenzhen, your jade bracelet should be very expensive, right? It’s so beautiful.” Jin Peining was Shi Muzhen’s former deskmate and was now looking at her enviously.
Shi Muzhen touched the bracelet and straightened her back. She was a little proud of herself. “My future mother-in-law gave it to me. I don’t know how much it’s worth. I just decided to wear it.”
“You’re so lucky to have such a generous mother-in-law. Unlike most of us,” said a woman in a blue dress with a round face and freckles. “We’re just trying to get by day to day. We can’t even breathe under the pressure of the mortgage and car loans.”
“We have no choice. Who asked us not to marry a rich man like Muzhen? Haha.”
“Her fiance is rich and good-looking, and they’re well-matched. It’s not an exaggeration to say that they’re a perfect couple.”
Shi Muzhen enjoyed their flattering her and was pleased with herself.
When Bai Xiaocan walked in, she heard the compliments. She was not used to seeing Shi Muzhen’s arrogant attitude. She sneered. “I was wondering who you were talking about. Isn’t it just a man that Gantang doesn’t want? Isn’t Lin Gantang prettier and richer than you? She wasn’t like you back then. You picked up something that others didn’t want and started showing off. What a joke.” “Heh. What can Lin Gantang show off about?” Jin Peining spoke up for Shi Muzhen. “Gu Zhichuan doesn’t like her, and Gu Zhichuan’s mother doesn’t like her either. She has something to show off about.”
Blue Dress covered her mouth and laughed. “At that time, she pursued Gu Zhichuan. Gu Zhichuan did not even look at her. His mother did not agree at all. Unlike Muzhen, who has the approval of parents from both sides, and Gu Zhichuan’s mother likes her.”
Bai Xiaocan rolled her eyes at them. “The feelings of youth are pure and simple. There’s nothing wrong with Lin Gantang liking someone and pursuing him. Why did you make it sound like a joke? You guys are the most laughable ones, right?”
“Isn’t it funny? Back then, she made a big fuss, but in the end, it ended tragically. Who hasn’t seen her make a fool of herself? Luckily, we didn’t bring any family members to today’s birthday banquet,” Jin Peining mocked. “Otherwise, if Gu Zhichuan came with Muzhen, Lin Gantang would be so embarrassed.”
Shi Muzhen’s expression froze for a moment. She immediately tried to hide it with a smile. “Don’t say that, Ningning. Zhichuan is very busy. Even if I could bring him along, he might not have the time to come.”
“Sigh, you can’t bear to let us see.” Jin Peining giggled. “If it were up to me, you should have asked him to accompany you so that others could see how compatible you two are. Who is Lin Gantang? She’s the loser in a relationship. Even if she sees and hears this, she’s the one who should feel inferior and lower her head.”
As soon as she finished speaking, she heard a chuckle behind her.
Everyone turned their heads and saw Lin Gantang in a long green ankle-length dress. Her beautiful black curly hair was draped around her slender waist. As she walked, her slender waist and shoulders, pink cheeks, and red lips had an allure that made it hard for people to look away.
She was clearly smiling, but her eyes were as cold as autumn dew.
“Jin Peining, do you dare to repeat what you said just now in front of me?”
