Chapter 73: Now, The Tables Have Turned
“What? Chen Junjie?” Luo Chenxi widened her eyes in shock.
Chen Junjie was indeed the most handsome boy back in their art campus days. He came from a wealthy family and was pretty good looking. Many girls fawned all over him.
However, Luo Chenxi did not think that he was that handsome at all back then. He was just better at dressing up compared to his peers.
Moreover, Chen Junjie was not someone with a good personality. He was a two-timer that dated a lot of girls back then and even caused some of them to have miscarriages. He was without a doubt a scumbag through and through.!!
She had no idea how Zuo Xiaoqing got involved with such a person.
Seeing Luo Chenxi’s surprised look, Zuo Xiaoqing became even more pleased.
“That’s right, he’s Chen Junjie! I only found out later that he’s not only rich, but his uncle is also the deputy mayor of the city! It’s been almost a year since my honey and I have been together, and we are planning to get married after I win the grand prize in the HuaFeng Competition.”
Zuo Xiaoqing held her chin high as she anticipated Luo Chenxi’s jealousy.
Back then, Luo Chenxi was the prettiest girl in the school and many boys chased after her. Zuo Xiaoqing too, was a beauty herself, but when compared to Luo Chenxi, she was no better than an ordinary girl.
Now, the tables had turned. She had won over the heart of the richest and most handsome boy of the school and was about to be married into a wealthy family, whereas Luo Chenxi was so poor that she could not even afford a piece of fabric.
The shop assistant chimed in. “Only someone like Miss Zuo who excels in both talents and looks can get married to someone from a wealthy family. As for a dirt-poor certain someone, she shouldn’t even think about it!”
Zuo Xiaoqing, delighted to hear those words, held onto Chen Junjie’s arm and wiggled coquettishly. “Honey, should we send Chenxi an invitation when we get married? She is our former classmate, so she should definitely be there.”
She was dead set on drowning poor, single Luo Chenxi with the sight of her flirting with Chen Junjie.
However, the man next to her did not play along with her as usual even though she kept up her flirtatious wiggling.
Zuo Xiaoqing frowned in confusion and was about to say something, then Chen Junjie suddenly shook her off and threw her to the side with a strong force.
He then strode all the way up to Luo Chenxi and became so excited that his face turned red. “Luo Chenxi, you really are Luo Chenxi! I’ve been waiting for you to return ever since you went to Y Country, and you finally have! Did…did you come here to look for fabrics too?”
Luo Chenxi was shocked by his reaction and reflexively took a few steps back.
“Uh… Young Master Chen, it’s been awhile since we last met. I’m just here for some window shopping. I was just about to leave.”
Chen Junjie instantly took a few steps ahead and followed closely next to her. “Chenxi, you must be here to buy fabrics, right? Which one do you fancy? Shop away and just put everything on my tab! These fabrics are imported from abroad, you can’t find them in a common shop. Don’t worry about my money, buy all you want!”
Luo Chenxi was shocked after hearing Chen Junjie’s words.
“Ahem, Young Master Chen, you aren’t having a fever, are you? Why are you paying for my fabrics? I don’t think we’re that close, right? Also, please don’t call me by my first name.”
However, Chen Junjie acted as if he didn’t hear her as he continued, “Chenxi, you don’t know this, but I’ve liked you since high school. You headed off to Y Country before I could ask you out for a date. It has been my biggest regret. This time, I won’t let go of you! ”
“What did you just say?”
Luo Chenxi’s jaw dropped so far it almost hit the ground.
