Chapter 580 She's Very Well-Behaved (Part 9)

Du Mengmeng had already thought of several outstanding boys among her classmates, and after glancing at Pei Yanli, she secretly gave him a score in her mind. Pei Yanli still came out on top.

Smiling, he asked Pei Yanli, "Pei, where do you work now?"

Pei Yanli knew that she and Shang Shang had a very good relationship and were like best friends, so he treated her very gently: "She teaches at Tsinghua University."

Du Mengmeng exclaimed, "Wow! A university professor? That's great! Does he have a girlfriend?"

Pei Yanli shook his head: "No, I've been busy with studying and working, I haven't had time to date."

Not even once.

Du Mengmeng grinned, while Yan Lei, standing to the side, became somewhat wary: "What are you doing? You don't happen to have a crush on Pei Yanli, do you? Let me tell you, although he doesn't have a boyfriend, he does have someone he likes. Just give up on him."

Du Mengmeng exclaimed in surprise, then turned to Yan Lei with a hint of regret: "Are you sick? I was just asking out of concern as a classmate, and look at what you're saying! I have a boyfriend."

Yan Lei was afraid of angering Du Mengmeng, who then didn't bring Zhou Zhiyi to the class reunion. He quickly explained, "I was wrong, I was wrong, Grandma. I misunderstood. Okay, whatever you want to buy tonight, I'll pay."

Du Mengmeng's eyes darted around: "Did you say that?"

Pei Yanli originally wanted to explain, but seeing the two of them suddenly bickering happily, giving him no chance to interject, he simply shut up.

...

The day Shang Shang went to the class reunion was the day before Zhou Zhiyun left.

She knew that Shen Fanxing and Zhou Zhiyun were probably busy enjoying their sweet time together, so she didn't tell Shen Fanxing. She changed her clothes, told Jiang Zhizhi, and went out.

Jiang Zhizhi was quite surprised, looking at Zhou Xiye: "Shangshang actually went to the class reunion? That's rather unusual."

Zhou Xiye didn't think much of it: "It's probably because Mengmeng and Jia Ni went. The three of them haven't seen each other for a long time."

Jiang Zhizhi thought about it and realized that Du Mengmeng and Wang Jiani's fathers were comrades-in-arms with Zhou Xiye, and they both stayed in Beijing after being demobilized.

The three girls grew up together and have always had a very good relationship.

When we were in college, we would travel together during winter and summer vacations. But now that we've both been working, we see each other less often.

Shang Shang went to meet Du Mengmeng first, and then waited for Wang Jiani at the coffee shop.

Du Mengmeng first praised Pei Yanli to Shangshang, saying how amazing he looked, and then complained to Shangshang about her boyfriend: "Shangshang, Shi Jian and I might be breaking up."

Shang Shang, holding her coffee, looked at Du Mengmeng in surprise: "You two started dating in your freshman year of college, and your relationship has always been great. How come it's suddenly falling apart? Didn't you call me last month and say you were planning to get married?"

Du Mengmeng sighed: "My parents already looked down on him because he was from out of town, but they reluctantly accepted him because they saw that he was capable and ambitious. But his mother... tried to give me a hard time the first time we met."

"They actually want me to go to the kitchen to cook, saying they want to test me. I've never been in a kitchen before, not even once in my life!"

"Then his mother got upset and gave me a hard time, saying that a woman who can't even cook can't serve a man. Did I marry her to serve her son?"

Shang Shang exclaimed in surprise, not expecting it to be so complicated: "Then... what's Shi Jian's attitude?"

Du Mengmeng sighed: "What attitude can I take? I just have to appease both sides. I told his mother that I'm an only child, that I've always been well-off and have never cooked. I also told her that it wasn't easy for his mother to raise him and his sister, and that I hoped she could understand her hardships."

Shangshang had never experienced such a complicated relationship before, and the atmosphere at home had always been harmonious, so she didn't know how to handle this kind of relationship.

Du Mengmeng had a headache just thinking about it: "I haven't told my parents any of this, otherwise my mom would definitely disagree."

Shang Shang agreed. Du Mengmeng's father went into business after being discharged from the army, and now his business is quite large. He only has one child, Mengmeng, so how could he let her suffer any injustice?

Du Mengmeng became more and more annoyed: "Forget it, forget it, I'll take you to see some handsome guys later. I've called several good-looking male classmates from school. Some of them are lawyers, some work in the police station, and one is a businessman. Oh, and the best-looking one is Pei Yanli. He's a university professor."

Shang Shang asked casually, "Pei Yanli? You've met him?"

Du Mengmeng nodded: "Yes, I met him that day. My goodness, how come I never noticed how good-looking he was in high school? Even his fingers are beautiful."

She said with a dreamy look on her face, "If I had discovered how handsome he was when I was in high school, I would definitely have pursued him."

Shang Shang chuckled: "Back then, you were obsessed with a big star."

Du Mengmeng laughed and said, "That's true."

As the two were talking, Wang Jianni came over, wearing light makeup and a well-fitting, sharp suit; she looked every bit the elite of the office.

As soon as Wang Jianni sat down, she took a breath and said, "You guys are really something. Why did you have to have a class reunion out of the blue? I'm so busy. I still have several cases to handle."

Du Mengmeng said disdainfully, "Who isn't busy? We're all very busy. We finally get to see each other, and you're still complaining."

Wang Jianni laughed: "I didn't mean that, I'm just too tired, I'm really too tired. Look at the bloodshot eyes, I haven't had a good night's sleep in days."

"I'm thinking now, if all else fails, I'll just marry a rich man."

Du Mengmeng teased, "Tonight, several of the male classmates who came are single. But Pei Yanli is different; although he's single, he has someone he likes."

Shang Shang's heart tightened, and her face almost turned pale as she looked at Du Mengmeng: "Really?"

Du Mengmeng nodded: "It was Yan Lei who said that he has liked someone for many years, and he didn't refute it when he said it, so it should be true."

Wang Jianni arrived late and missed the gossip: "Who is it? Who is Pei Yanli?"

Du Mengmeng described Pei Yanli again in detail, but Wang Jianni still didn't recognize him: "The name sounds familiar, but I can't quite place him. I might recognize him when we meet later."

Shang Shang's heart was in turmoil, all because Pei Yanli had someone he liked.

I'm also curious about what kind of person he likes.

Then she sighed, realizing that her unrequited love was likely to end in vain.

Yan Lei called Du Mengmeng and said that they had arrived at the private room of the restaurant upstairs and asked where they were.

Du Mengmeng said "right away" and hung up the phone. She quickly checked her makeup in the mirror and then looked at Shangshang, who was wearing a light yellow knitted sweater with a white long skirt underneath.

Her soft hair cascaded over her shoulders, her face was fair and rosy, her eyebrows and eyes were dark, her lips were red and her teeth were white. She was beautiful even without makeup. I couldn't help but pinch Shang Shang's cheek out of jealousy: "If I were a man, I would definitely love you to death with your looks."

Shang Shang was both amused and exasperated. She reached out and patted her hand, saying, "Don't talk nonsense. Let's go. It's not good to keep them waiting too long."

As she stood up and turned around, she saw Pei Yanli push the door open and come in...
