Shen Wenxiu and the others also came downstairs to see what was going on. Since they all lived in this tenement building, they just stood in front of Shen's house to watch what was happening.

In reality, there's not much room for people. At this point, it's all about who has the thickest skin to squeeze to the front.

Shen Wenxiu was a little surprised when she saw Yun Xianyue, mainly because her attire was rather plain.

When I met her at the Suwen Grand Restaurant before, she was dressed very elegantly, with exquisite clothes, a very particular hairstyle, and delicate makeup.

But Yun Xianyue was very simple at this moment.

Her face was bare of makeup, and her long hair was not loose and permed, but neatly coiled up, with not a single strand falling out, so that no one could tell that her hair was permed.

Her clothes were quite simple, just a plain white shirt and black pants, and even those weren't fitted.

Shen Wenxiu was surprised by Yun Xianyue's attire; she had assumed that Yun Xianyue would show off when she returned to her "parents' home"—

Anyway, that's how Shen Wenxiu is.

She dressed up carefully as she went back to her parents' home with Zhou Cunzong today.

She wore a beautiful, fitted red dress, and her hair was styled according to a hairstyle designed for her by her sister-in-law.

Although her hair wasn't permed, it wasn't perfectly straight because she used to wear braids frequently; it had a slight curl.

She didn't wear her hair down, or half of it was combed and half was down; instead, she styled it into a voluminous hairstyle that made her face look smaller.

Of course, she was also wearing makeup; she had honed her makeup skills over the years.

Although it wasn't as beautiful as the makeup her father-in-law had done for her mother-in-law, this makeup still managed to conceal her flaws and highlight her good features.

Shen Wenxiu, dressed up beautifully and looking radiant, returned to her parents' home mainly to show off how well she was doing.

Her parents used to value her older brother and younger brother more, and she was often overlooked even though she and Shen Wencai were twins.

So she wanted her parents to know that she was much better than Shen Wencai, much more outstanding than Shen Wencai.

Seeing Yun Xianyue's "simple" attire now, and then looking at her own exquisite outfit from head to toe, there's really a difference.

"I never expected Yun Xianyue to marry Gao Ying?"

Shen Wenxiu only remembered who Yun Xianyue was later, and she was quite shocked to find out that she was actually her downstairs neighbor.

What shocked her even more was that after Yun Xianyue followed a wealthy man like President Kan and received so much material wealth from him, she was still able to marry Gao Ying.

She didn't know much about Gao Ying, but it wasn't like none of the people watching knew about Gao Ying's situation.

"What is A-Yue from the Yun family thinking? Gao Ying has no parents, why would she want to marry him?"

"That's right, Gao Ying still doesn't have a job. He won't go out to set up a stall to make money like everyone else. He's so poor, what does A Yue want from him?"

"Aren't you exaggerating? Gao Ying isn't that poor, and she's not doing nothing either, is she?"

"What do you know? Tell me quickly."

As if sensing a hidden meaning in what the people next to her were saying, the gossipy crowd asked her to elaborate.

"That Gao Ying, although he didn't get into university or have a proper job, seems to have formed a construction team with his 'brother'."

"Now he seems to be a contractor."

With the increasing construction in Guangzhou and surrounding cities, the construction industry is booming, and Gao Ying and his brothers and friends have indeed taken on a lot of work with their construction team.

So although Gao Ying didn't have a stable job or a secure livelihood, and he didn't set up a stall to sell goods like others, he actually did have some income.

Therefore, Yun Xianyue's marriage to Gao Ying was not a moment of madness, nor was it a way for her to use the money she earned from dating a wealthy man to support a gigolo.

"Are you telling the truth? That Gao Ying is actually a construction foreman?"

"yes."

Although Gao Ying had no parents, he had brothers and sisters. His eldest brother took over his father's job, and later he went to the countryside with Yun Xianyue.

When Yun Xian Yue returned to the city, he also tried to find a way to return.

He wasn't a dull person when he was in the countryside. Although he wasn't particularly good at farming, he still managed to earn money to support himself and Yun Xianyue.

However, the two were not together at that time, and Yun Xianyue was not the kind of person who would date someone else and become someone else's mistress.

The main reason why Yun Xianyue didn't get together with Gao Ying, who was so good to her, was because there were many people pursuing her.

Hearing the chatter around her, Shen Wenxiu looked somewhat dazed.

"I think I remember now, there were many people who liked Yun Xianyue back then." Shen Wenxiu had envied Yun Xianyue more than once.

Despite being a daughter who was neither valued nor loved by her parents, Yun Xian Yue was very popular outside and many people liked her.

Not only do boys admire her and want to pursue her, but girls also enjoy being with her. Many people say that they feel very comfortable around her.

And what about Shen Wenxiu?

She didn't seem to have many friends. After graduating from high school, her friends were sent to the countryside to work, and after she married Zhou Cunzong, she lost contact with her good friends.

Now, she doesn't have any particularly close female friends anymore.

Of course, male friends didn't have any either.

Although my mother-in-law and sisters-in-law got along well at my husband's family home and didn't have any major conflicts, they weren't exactly the kind of close, confidantes I could confide in.
