"I’m telling you, out of our class, you married the best. It’s one thing for your husband to be rich and handsome, but the key is he’s so good to you. Men like that are practically extinct now!"
"Yeah, yeah, to find a rich guy who isn’t a playboy, who is truly devoted to his wife, I guess that’s only Qianqian’s husband."
Li Qian listened to their compliments one after another, verbally downplaying it with ’it’s nothing’, but the triumphant glow in her eyes shone brighter than the sun, and her smug smile simply couldn’t be suppressed, almost reaching back to her ears.
However, at that moment, another voice cut in, "Hey, hey, you got it wrong, there’s another one!"
"Who else but Xiaoxia! Ling Chuxia! Didn’t she marry Senior Brother Shi? Senior Brother Shi outshines Qianqian’s husband by miles, he’s the epitome of nobility!"
The offspring of wealthy families are a dime a dozen, but nobility isn’t something just any wealthy family can claim to be.
As soon as this classmate finished speaking, it caused an uproar, as everyone began to chime in eagerly.
"Right! How could I almost forget about Xiaoxia? She’s the real dark horse, suddenly emerging out of nowhere and marrying Senior Brother Shi, which took us all by surprise!"
"Exactly, we all thought it would be Ling Yunshu who would marry Senior Brother Shi, but in the end, it was the unassuming Xiaoxia. Though Xiaoxia’s not bad either, to be honest. Compared to Ling Yunshu, I prefer Xiaoxia. Xiaoxia is so kind-hearted, and although she’s beautiful, she doesn’t put on airs. She is always willing to help us out. Ling Yunshu is nice too, but she can come off a bit arrogant. But then again, she is a goddess, so it’s understandable."
"Yeah, I really like Xiaoxia too, she’s so generous. Back during school, I was studying late night after night for a scholarship, and ended up making myself ill. One day I had a stomachache, was doubled over on the desk, and no one noticed me. It was Xiaoxia who spotted me first and didn’t say a word before carrying me to the infirmary. I was so touched; if Xiaoxia were a guy, I’d cry and scream to marry her!"
"That’s why I say it’s great that Senior Brother Shi married Xiaoxia. Xiaoxia isn’t inferior to Ling Yunshu, and remember at the reunion three years ago? Senior Brother Shi, who’s usually so reserved, showed such gentleness to Xiaoxia, I was so envious!"
With that change in conversation, everyone’s focus instantly shifted to Ling Chuxia and Shi Che, their words one after another, completely ignoring Li Qian.
Li Qian’s face darkened. She was outshone by Ling Yunshu back in school days, and now, after getting married, she still couldn’t surpass Ling Chuxia. Every time the topic turned to the two sisters, she felt utterly ignored. How could she not resent them both?
As she listened to everyone gush, she suddenly let out a derisive laugh, her voice tinged with sarcasm, "You folks say you care about old classmates, yet haven’t you been reading the newspapers and magazines lately? Do you have any clue if Ling Chuxia’s doing well? Talking is just embarrassing~"
