Having said that, she turned toward Zhuang Nainai with an astonished expression. “Damn, you wore clothes like this here?”
Zhuang Nainai smiled. “What’s wrong with what I’m wearing?”
Xie Yutong began laughing. “Well, that’s also true. You can still kill us off by wearing clothes like that! You can afford to be stubborn when you look good!”
Just as Zhuang Nainai was about to say something, she heard a peculiar voice saying, “Xie Yutong, it’s alright if you’re willing to lower yourself to accentuate her beauty, but don’t drag all of us down with you.”
That froze the warm atmosphere instantly.
Everyone turned their heads and watched as Xue Rong walked toward them with her head held high and with Shi Haoyu by her side.
The classmates fell silent, and all of them began to look at Zhuang Nainai and Shi Haoyu.
During their university days, the love triangle between Shi Haoyu, Xue Rong, and Zhuang Nainai was well-known to all due to Xue Rong’s high profile and Shi Haoyu’s relentless pursuit of Zhuang Nainai. Almost everyone in the university had thought that Shi Haoyu had been dating Zhuang Nainai, but in the end… Shi Haoyu married Xue Rong.
Watching the main characters of all the gossip arrive, everyone began pitying Zhuang Nainai, who had been “abandoned.”
Xie Yutong cast a glance at Xue Rong and Shi Haoyu. Her eyes now hostile, she curled her lips. “Hey, Xue Rong, I was talking about Nainai. What’s it got to do with you?”
Xue Rong narrowed her eyes. “I just can’t get used to someone proclaiming herself to be a goddess.”
Having said this, she looked Zhuang Nainai up and down. Poking Shi Haoyu, she asked, “Hubby, in your eyes, who’s the prettier one?”
Everyone turned to look at Shi Haoyu the moment she spoke.
Shi Haoyu immediately grew to feel awkward. “Rongrong, there are lots of people here. Cut it out.”
“What trouble am I causing? I’m just asking you a simple question of who’s prettier.” Xue Rong glared fiercely at Shi Haoyu.
Shi Haoyu had no choice but to reply, “You’re prettier.”
Xue Rong smiled. “How bad you are, Hubby! Aren’t you going to make Nainai sad by saying this?”
With that, she smiled once more and turned toward Zhuang Nainai. “I hope you don’t mind, Nainai, that’s just the way he is. But I’m still sorry anyway, so allow me to apologize to you on my husband’s behalf. How about this — he let you down romantically, so shall we make it up to you in another way?”
Xue Rong had been jealous of how Zhuang Nainai had constantly rejected Shi Haoyu, but she was not ready to admit this in front of all their classmates. It was utterly embarrassing to be picking up what Zhuang Nainai had refused to have!
In any case, everyone was still under the impression that Zhuang Nainai and Shi Haoyu had been a couple during their university days. It was much better for them to think that she had yanked Shi Haoyu over!
Zhuang Nainai didn’t want to argue with them, so she ignored their sarcasm. Just as she was turning around, ready to extricate herself from the mess, Xie Yutong piped up, “Xue Rong, what are you saying? Shi Haoyu didn’t let Zhuang Nainai down in any way. Not managing to succeed in his pursuit and then retreating to settle for less is considered letting her down? Well, that’s new to me!”
Settling for less?
Xie Yutong’s words cut right into Xue Rong’s wounds. Immediately curling her fists into balls, she said sarcastically, “Hey, Zhuang Nainai, even though you’ve already broken up with him, you don’t have to burn bridges like that! We’re all adults now, and even if you can’t be in a relationship with him, we can all still be classmates, right? Zhuang Nainai, you can’t be that petty, can you?”
Guiding the topic back to Zhuang Nainai, she added, “Or is it just because you still can’t let go of Shi Haoyu? Is that why you can’t even be classmates with all of us?”
