Chapter 112 Alumni Association
Shi Yang was startled by her words, and then, considering Ji Peiheng's reaction, said, "It doesn't seem like it. If he really couldn't perform, why would he need to use contraception?"
"Can't you figure it out? It must be because of his male pride. What man would tell his wife the truth about his impotence? He'd rather cover it up with the excuse of contraception."
Lu spoke eloquently and logically, and Shi Yang, who initially did not believe her, eventually came to believe her to some extent after being persuaded by her words.
"If you ask me, why don't you just find an excuse to take him to the hospital for a checkup and you'll be sure?"
Shi Yang agreed. If there really was a problem, she wouldn't look down on him. They could sit down and talk things over to figure out what to do next.
Before leaving, Lu Qingqing mentioned something else: "There's a high school alumni reunion this weekend, are you going?"
Shi Yang was distracted, his mind preoccupied with what excuse to take Ji Peiheng for a checkup.
I didn't hear what she said at all, and subconsciously replied, "Okay."
When that day finally came and Lu Qingqing came to find her, she had no recollection of it at all.
He then said he didn't want to go.
Lu said softly, "How can that be? I already told them you'd be going. Stop talking nonsense and hurry up and get dressed. Dress as elegantly as you can, the kind that outshines everyone else."
Lu Qingqing dressed up very formally, wearing gold and silver jewelry, as if she wanted to wear all her jewelry on her body.
Shi Yang sighed, "Was it really necessary to go to such lengths?"
She gave him a cold look: "You know what kind of people are in our class. They're all arrogant and waiting to see you make a fool of yourself. The more fancy your clothes and the more expensive your jewelry, the less they'll dare to look down on you."
He then personally picked out a bright purple dress for her.
"Too gaudy, I don't want it."
Shi Yang chose a pale yellow dress that was both elegant and sophisticated, a haute couture piece from this year's fashion shows.
Finally, under Lu Qingqing's insistence, she wore a set of jewelry.
My neck felt so heavy, and I couldn't resist taking it off when I got off the bus.
Lu said softly, "Don't blame me for not telling you, Jiang Xueyan is here today too."
Shi Yang was stunned for a few seconds before slowly realizing who this person was.
I forced myself to enter the banquet hall, enduring the feeling that my neck was about to break.
At this moment, inside the banquet hall.
All that could be heard was a chorus of flattery.
"Xueyan, you've become more and more beautiful after all these years."
"Xueyan was the school beauty back then, and she has become even more beautiful over the years. If you ask me, she deserves the title of the most beautiful woman in the capital."
The woman, surrounded by everyone, proudly raised her head, accepting their compliments.
"It's not as exaggerated as you guys are making it out to be."
"By the way, Xueyan, weren't you studying abroad? Why did you suddenly come back?"
Someone chimed in ambiguously, "Is there even a question? Of course, it's for...that person..."
A brief hint of shyness appeared on Jiang Xueyan's haughty expression: "Don't talk nonsense, I came back on important business."
Others chimed in, "I heard that the Jiang family, the Ji family, and the Huang family are jointly developing a piece of land to build another CBD in Beijing."
I think Xueyan's true intentions are not in the bar.
The commotion and laughter abruptly stopped when Shi Yang entered.
All eyes turned to Shi Yang, and everyone gasped.
Because she was so beautiful, her beauty was innate, not just skin deep. The lamplight lingered on her eyes and brows, casting silhouettes on her long eyelashes. Especially her clear, bright eyes, which shone even brighter than moonlight.
I knew she was beautiful when we were in school, but she never competed or fought for anything. She always sat in the last row and did her own thing. Apart from Lu Qingqing talking to her, no one else in the class knew her well.
I never imagined that after so many years, she would have grown into such an ethereal and otherworldly beauty.
They were all surprised by Shi Yang's arrival, seemingly not expecting her to come.
There was another layer of meaning to this surprise. After all, it was unbelievable that someone who was unknown at school and seemed to have nothing to do with Ji Peiheng ended up getting married.
Everyone's meaningful gazes swept back and forth between Shi Yang and Jiang Xueyan.
Jiang Xueyan disliked having the attention on her taken away, and said indifferently, "It's been a long time, Shi Yang."
Shi Yang paused for a moment and asked, "Excuse me, who are you?"
Jiang Xueyan's expression changed.
Lu whispered in her ear, "She is Jiang Xueyan."
Shi Yang suddenly realized that she really didn't remember; she didn't have much of an impression of her former high school classmates.
Jiang Xueyan curled her lips: "You're just too forgetful. You've climbed onto something that doesn't belong to you, so it's normal that you've forgotten about us old classmates."
Shi Yang also looked her over. To be honest, she didn't have much of an impression of her before, but now she remembered that there had been a lot of rumors about her at school.
They all belong to Jiang Xueyan and Ji Peiheng.
People at school said they were together.
Before Shi Yang could speak, Lu Qingqing continued, "Yes, there's no way around it. You have no idea how hard it is to invite her. Shi Yang is occupied by her husband all day long. I had to go to great lengths to get her to come with me. Otherwise, you wouldn't even be able to see her, let alone forget about you."
Shi Yang squeezed her hand.
He gestured to her not to exaggerate.
Lu Qingqing gritted her teeth and said softly, "Never mind her. This Jiang Xueyan is still up to no good. I have to teach her a lesson."
Jiang Xueyan's face immediately turned ugly. She pursed her lips and endured it, as if she remembered something. She smiled again, with a hint of provocation in her smile: "Speaking of which, Young Master Ji is from the same school as us. I called Young Master Ji the day before yesterday. He said he was busy with work. Shi Yang, why didn't you persuade him to come to the banquet?"
"Is it... that we have no voice?"
Lu Qingqing retorted without hesitation: "The main reason is that there are people I don't want to see, so I'm not coming, don't you think, Yangyang?"
Seeing Jiang Xueyan's expression of gritting her teeth in anger time and time again, Shi Yang felt a sense of satisfaction. She was growing to like Lu Qingqing's mouth more and more.
Shi Yang revealed a faint smile: "Pei Heng is too busy. Let me handle some of the people. It will lighten his burden a bit."
Don't get too cocky! There are some people you just can't control!
Jiang Xueyan glared at her angrily, then turned and left.
Shi Yangchun ignored it, treating it as if she had just farted.
She found a corner to sit in, and occasionally some classmates would come over to exchange a few words, mentioning Ji Peiheng from time to time.
She knew perfectly well that these people wanted to curry favor with Ji Peiheng through her.
He exchanged pleasantries with her in a lukewarm manner.
Not long after, she started yawning, and Lu Qingqing was called away by other classmates.
Shi Yang glanced at his watch and decided to stay for another half hour before going home.
A figure that had been watching her from the shadows for a long time stepped towards her: "Shi Yang, long time no see."
