149: Expose your shortcomings and gain sympathy

It seems that the donor is really kind.

Gu Jun was in a complicated mood. Teacher Li patted his shoulder again and said, "Let's go back. We've been out for too long."

The two men left the smoking room.

In the lounge next door, Wen Yiyi, who had been holding her breath for too long, stood up from the sofa and took deep breaths.

It turns out that the money from ten years ago was given to Gu Jun!

Thanks to the help of that money, Gu Jun's grandfather lived another ten years, and Gu Jun himself did not drop out of school.

That money helped Gu Jun overcome the difficulties, and then he was able to be admitted to a popular major at Dongcheng University, and then he could graduate and work at Huahu, buy a house in Nancheng, and marry Xu Yao to live a good life!

Wen Yiyi looked down on Gu Jun because of his poor background, but at the same time she could not deny Gu Jun's intentions towards Xu Yao.

Gu Jun really protects Xu Yao too much. He always stands up for Xu Yao, fearing that Xu Yao will suffer any loss.

In comparison, Chen Yan is too unqualified to be her fiancé!

If the situation were the same, would Gu Jun abandon Xu Yao and leave?

Definitely not!

Why is Xu Yao so lucky?

Wen Yiyi originally wanted to touch up her makeup before returning to the banquet hall and had even taken out her powder puff, but when she looked at her red eyes, she changed her mind.

She returned to the banquet hall.

"Chen Yan had to leave first because of something. Let me apologize to everyone."

Wen Yiyi told everyone this.

This news was very sudden. Some people teased Chen Yan that he was a very busy man. Wen Yiyi's smile was very forced.

Now any smart person could see that something was wrong.

——Chen Yan and Wen Yiyi had a fight?

Today is a class reunion after all, but Chen Yan is so disrespectful to Wen Yiyi!

Wen Yiyi's lackey awkwardly tried to smooth things over: "The higher you become as a boss, the less personal time you have. You have to deal with all kinds of emergencies in the company and be responsible for the entire company. Being a boss isn't easy for Chen Yan either."

"That's right, we all understand. Yiyi, you should also be more considerate of him."

After being persuaded for a while, Wen Yiyi's eyes were filled with tears again: "Don't think that I snatched Shen Yan from Xu Yao. After Xu Yao and Gu Jun got married, my family arranged for me to be engaged to Shen Yan. This is the decision of both parents, and I can't refuse it alone!"

After hearing this, no one could respond.

Wen Yiyi openly stated that their engagement was a "business marriage", and it seemed that she was really upset!

Xu Yao is the person who knows Wen Yiyi best. Seeing Wen Yiyi self-destruct in front of everyone, Xu Yao was very surprised.

Although Xu Yao sat at the same table with Gu Jun, it was difficult for her to complain directly because of Teacher Li between them. She couldn't help but send a message to Gu Jun: What are these two doing?

Gu Jun was very conflicted.

He hated Wen Yiyi from the bottom of his heart.

But just now, Teacher Li confirmed that Wen Yiyi was the person who donated the money that year.

The shallow Wen Yiyi was actually the benefactor who had helped Gu Jun... He looked up and saw Wen Yiyi sitting opposite him with red eyes and a face full of grievance.

Gu Jun looked at Wen Yiyi with scrutiny.

Maybe everyone is complicated. Twenty-six-year-old Wen Yiyi is shallow, but fifteen or sixteen-year-old Wen Yiyi is willing to secretly help others?

Gu Jun had no intention of delving into what had turned Wen Yiyi into what she was today. He was instead worried about how to repay Wen Yiyi's debt of gratitude. The first dilemma facing Gu Jun was whether to bring up the past in front of Wen Yiyi, and whether to let her know that she was his benefactor.

Should I be frank and ask Wen Yiyi directly what she wants in return, or should I test her thoughts when she doesn't know the inside story?

If Gu Jun chose the former, he would become a gentleman.

As a gentleman, you are destined to suffer injustice, and Wen Yiyi may make excessive demands.

If Gu Jun chooses the latter, he will lose his openness.

After struggling for a while, Gu Jun realized that he really couldn't be a gentleman. He didn't trust Wen Yiyi and couldn't hand the handle of the debt of favor to Wen Yiyi!

Even if he wants to repay a favor, it should be Gu Jun who decides how to do it instead of letting Wen Yiyi ask for it from him!

Gu Jun withdrew his gaze from Wen Yiyi and replied to Xu Yao seriously: I don’t know what Wen Yiyi is making a fuss about, but I can guess why Chen Yan left early. He couldn’t accept that I replaced him as the center of everyone’s attention today. The reason was the bottles of red wine that Shen Zhongjun sent.

Xu Yao replied to Gu Jun with a long string of ellipsis.

Xu Yao certainly knew that Gu Jun disliked Chen Yan.

But after thinking carefully about Chen Yan's performance today, Xu Yao couldn't find anything to refute.

Xu Yao and Wen Yiyi were chatting on WeChat. Teacher Li listened carefully to Wen Yiyi's complaints for a while and realized that it was not Wen Yiyi who stole Xu Yao's fiancé as he imagined. He felt sorry for Wen Yiyi and at the same time was very disappointed with her: "If you don't want to follow your family's arrangements, then you should show some ability to make your family recognize you. You can't just lie down and complain at the same time!"

Wen Yiyi looked at Teacher Li pitifully: "I tried my best, but the results are always different from what I expected."

Teacher Li is indeed a kind-hearted person.

Just now, Wen Yiyi couldn't get a seat next to Teacher Li no matter what she did. Now Teacher Li took the initiative to change seats to sit with Wen Yiyi, obviously wanting to comfort Wen Yiyi.

No matter what Teacher Li said, Wen Yiyi listened.

The students looked at each other in confusion.

It turns out that the life of rich people is not all glamorous. Rich ladies also have many things that they cannot control!

Wen Yiyi didn't cover up for Shen Yan. Shen Yan's reputation was ruined, but she won Teacher Li's change of heart. The red wine that Shen Zhongjun gave to Gu Jun was indeed delicious. Wen Yiyi drank half a bottle without realizing it.

By the time the party was over, she was staggering.

Wen Yiyi came here in Chen Yan's car. Chen Yan left early, so she had to take a taxi to go back to the city.

"I'm awake!"

Wen Yiyi burped when she said this.

"No, no, how can you get a taxi like this? One of you can take Wen Yiyi home."

Teacher Li spoke, and everyone rushed to send Wen Yiyi off.

Teacher Li thought these people were not serious and asked Xu Yao if it was convenient for him to go there: "Do you know where her home is?"

Xu Yao nodded, "I know. Then Gu Jun and I will take you there."

Teacher Li knew that Gu Jun would definitely not refuse.

When Gu Jun's new car drove over, it further confirmed everyone's guess: Gu Jun was indeed not an ordinary programmer at Huahu.

The classmate in charge of reception today initially thought Xu Yao and Gu Jun's marriage was a case of "a bankrupt princess marrying a stable boy," but now they've completely dispelled that sentiment. A lean camel is bigger than a horse. Even though the Xu family is bankrupt, Xu Yao still has her vision. How could she marry a poor man? If Chen Yan is the second-generation rich man, riding on his father's legacy, Gu Jun might be the first-generation rich man, self-made from scratch!

At present, the gap between Gu Jun's wealth and the wealth accumulated by two or three generations of Shen Yan's family is quite large. It is hard to say what the future will be like, but if we only consider the perspective of choosing a husband, Gu Jun treats Xu Yao better than Shen Yan treats Wen Yiyi.

Xu Yao agreed to send Wen Yiyi back, but Wen Yiyi refused.

"I don't need their pity."

Wen Yiyi got directly into another classmate's car and was very reluctant to have anything to do with Xu Yao and Gu Jun.

Teacher Li had no choice but to instruct the student to send Wen Yiyi home safely.

When Gu Jun and Teacher Li said goodbye, Teacher Li once again put Gu Jun and Xu Yao's hands together and told them to live a good life: "Appreciate the fate. Teacher wishes you both a bright future!"
