Xu Wan met a man from her industry at a matchmaking party. Two days later, they got their marriage certificate.
She thought she had married an unremarkable corporate legal counsel.
Afte...
"Xu Wan?"
The man she bumped into recognized her immediately, his expression revealing undisguised surprise.
"Gu Qing, what a coincidence." After saying those four words, Xu Wan immediately added, "My classmate is waiting for me over there, I have to go now."
Gu Qing was the senior who pursued her back then.
He pursued Xu Wan very diligently back then, and Xu Wan had to reveal her mother's situation in order to reject him.
After hearing this, Gu Qing immediately expressed that she understood her mother very well.
Xu Wan was moved by Gu Qing's attitude and was considering trying to date him when his mother blocked her at the door of her grandmother's house and insulted her with the most offensive words.
Gu Qing simply stood behind her mother, without saying a word.
The two never saw each other again after that day.
"Wanwan, Xu Wan." Gu Qing hurriedly grabbed Xu Wan's wrist. "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry about what happened back then. I felt so guilty after I went back, but I didn't have the courage to contact you. I felt ashamed to face you..."
Xu Wan tried to pull her wrist away from the man's hand.
She tried, but because Gu Qing was so strong, she couldn't pull him out at all.
"Gu Qing, it's all in the past, let's not bring it up again. I'm married now, my husband treats me very well, and I'm very happy."
While speaking, Xu Wan did not forget to try to pull her wrist out.
Upon hearing that Xu Wan was married, Gu Qing lost control of her expression, her shock evident in her eyes. "You, you're married?"
"Yes, I'm married."
Xu Wan pulled her left hand out of the man's grasp and showed him her wedding ring.
Gu Qing recognized it immediately as a Cartier wedding ring. "This...this wedding ring is very expensive. It seems your husband is very wealthy..."
“My husband is an ordinary office worker, but he said that wedding rings are meant to be worn for a lifetime, so of course we have to buy good ones.”
Xu Wan repeated what Jiang Tingzhou had said.
"So...how old is he? Does he know anything about your family?"
Gu Qing asked this question with some ulterior motives.
He hoped that Xu Wan would suffer as much as he did.
After breaking up with Xu Wan, Gu Qing went on several blind dates arranged by her family and dated two of them.
But in his heart, none of them were as good as Xu Wan.
Xu Wan is beautiful, intelligent, sensible, and understanding.
They always click when they chat.
Gu Qing had been wanting to apologize to Xu Wan, but couldn't muster the courage.
Xu Wan knew that her family affairs were an unavoidable topic when everyone discussed her.
She answered calmly and confidently, "He knows, he doesn't mind, he even accompanied me to visit him in prison in Yinyi Town, and he will go with me every time after that."
As the woman spoke, Gu Qing's eyes betrayed his disappointment.
Someone was with Xu Wan and treated her very well, but that person wasn't him.
"Gu Qing, I'm leaving now. Take good care of yourself."
Xu Wan gave a dignified farewell and turned to leave.
She quickly found her former classmates at school.
As soon as everyone saw Xu Wan, they immediately showered her with compliments.
They then reminisced about their school days.
One of the students asked, "Where's Qi Baixue? Why isn't she here?"
Someone immediately replied, "Didn't you see your WeChat Moments? They have connections; they got into the auditorium as a guest speaker and listened to outstanding alumni give speeches."
Who are this year's outstanding alumni?
"Who knows? It's probably some CEO again, someone who has nothing to do with us."
"That's true. When we were in school, we were told that we were the future of China's legal profession. But after graduation, we realized that the future is divided into different levels."
Several people stood together chatting.
Xu Wan was not involved either.
In the years since graduation, the gap between classmates has indeed widened.
Everyone took photos and chatted together, and Qi Baixue finally arrived late at 5:30.
As soon as she arrived, she became the center of attention.
"Qi Baixue, who is the outstanding graduate our school invited to speak this year?"
"Exactly, so I can brag about it when I go out in the future, saying that I am an alumnus of some important person."
Qi Baixue smiled and said, "This year, we invited the president of Tianwei Group."
Xu Wan felt a little conflicted when she heard the words "Tianwei Group".
She thought to herself that not only was Jiang Tingzhou her schoolmate, but Jiang Tingzhou's boss was also their schoolmate.
