143: The Bankrupt Princess Married the Stable Boy
Xu Yao was not very surprised by Gu Jun's confession.
She had long felt that Gu Jun was more than just a senior engineer at Huahu.
How could a programmer be so close to their boss, Jiang Zhiyan? Gu Jun had definitely joined Huahu's management team!
A senior engineer’s annual salary plus bonuses can reach one million yuan, and the management’s income will increase dramatically... So Gu Jun is not stingy when it comes to spending money, and he would give away a three-carat emerald as a gift.
Xu Yao's mood brightened. "I've always been worried that you were spending money lavishly. So you got a promotion? Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
"During that time, our relationship was still very distant. I don't know why Grandpa wanted me to marry you. You are Chen Yan's ex-fiancée. I was afraid that you married me to get Huahu's business secrets."
This time Gu Jun didn't lie, he thought so from the beginning.
Xu Yao was stunned.
She didn't expect that Gu Jun had such a mental journey.
"Why would I want to get business secrets for the Shen family? Wait, even if I wanted to get business secrets, shouldn't I be trying to marry Mr. Jiang?!"
Facing Xu Yao's doubts, Gu Jun's words were enough to put the final nail in the coffin: "Mr. Jiang has never thought about getting married before."
Xu Yao accepted this reason.
Not to mention before, even now, Jiang Zhiyan probably isn't ready for marriage. Proposing to Tangtang before was like playing house. Besides, even if Jiang Zhiyan wanted to get married, Xu Yao, no matter how thick-skinned she was, didn't think she could get married with Jiang Zhiyan so quickly.
Chen Yan's family is not as rich as Jiang Zhiyan's. Chen Yan's mother already looked down on Xu Yao after the family went bankrupt. The threshold of Jiang Zhiyan's family will only be higher - Tangtang was not recognized by the Jiang family when she was pregnant. Xu Yao, who was bankrupt and in debt, was even more looked down upon by the Jiang family.
Xu Yao shook her head vigorously: "I don't want to climb the ladder. You were my best choice then, and it's still the same now."
Xu Yao doesn't want to experience the mismatched status a second time.
Gu Jun had laid the groundwork and decided to quit while he was ahead. "It's true that I was overthinking it at the time."
The more Xu Yao thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong, and she brought up the past: "So that time at the hot spring resort, when I said I didn't hate the Shen family, you suddenly got upset, was it because you thought I was a commercial spy for the Shen family?"
"Of course not!"
At that time, Gu Jun had already ruled out the possibility that Xu Yao was an undercover agent. It was purely because he felt inferior in front of Xu Yao.
Xu Yao snorted and didn't believe it.
Considering that Gu Jun was driving, Xu Yao gently pinched his legs twice to express her dissatisfaction: "If I were a corporate spy, then my sacrifice would be too great."
As a commercial spy, he even lost his innocence. The Shen family must be grateful to Xu Yao and her family for saving their lives.
Is that possible?
Those who have passed away will never come back.
…
This year's class reunion was scheduled to be held at a resort hotel in the suburbs.
Xu Yao and Gu Jun were almost the last to arrive.
The classmate who was in charge of reception was very enthusiastic when he saw Xu Yao and called her a big star. But when he turned around and saw Gu Jun, he was stunned.
"This is...Senior Gu?!"
Xu Yao took Gu Jun's arm and said, "Gu Jun and I are married. You all know him, so I don't need to introduce him to you later."
Xu Yao has been very popular on the Internet recently. All the classmates have seen her account and know that she is indeed married.
But I didn’t expect that Xu Yao was married to Gu Jun!
When Xu Yao and Gu Jun were in school, they were like two different worlds: Xu Yao was a princess living in a castle, while Gu Jun was a stable boy. It was no exaggeration to say that Gu Jun was a stable boy; the squalor and mess of the shantytowns in South City was no different from that of a stable.
So what if the servant is handsome and smart? Reality is not a fairy tale, and the princess will never marry the servant.
Unless the princess's country is destroyed and she becomes as degraded as a servant.
For example, Xu Yao.
Classmates looked at Xu Yao with some sympathy. In fact, Xu Yao was a nice person when she was in school. If the Xu family had not gone bankrupt, Xu Yao would not have to show up in public and become an internet celebrity, nor would she have to marry the senior who had the poorest family in high school.
At this moment, sympathy overcame the bad intention of wanting to laugh at the joke, and the classmate whispered to Xu Yao: "Wen Yiyi and Shen Yan are already here. I just found out that this hotel is owned by the Shen family."
Wen Yiyi and Xu Yao have never gotten along.
Now she is still with Xu Yao's ex-fiancé.
This resort hotel is also owned by the Shen family, so Wen Yiyi must be extremely proud of herself!
Xu Yao blinked, "How come I didn't know that the Chen Yan family's business includes this hotel?"
The classmate was slightly startled: "Someone just said that, and Chen Yan didn't deny it... By the way, where is Senior Gu employed?"
The receptionist suddenly changed the topic to Gu Jun, wanting to confirm it again.
Gu Jun smiled and said, "I work as a programmer in an Internet company."
"Oh, look at my memory. Xu Yao said it all in the video."
The classmates were disappointed for Xu Yao.
Xu Yao is so beautiful. Even if her family goes bankrupt and she can't marry into the Shen family, she can marry a rich man who is not as rich as the Shen family, right? I really don't know what Xu Yao was thinking. After leaving Shen Yan, she actually married Gu Jun.
Marriage is so important to a woman. It is even harder to turn things around if she marries an ordinary husband!
"You guys go in first."
The classmates had other things to do, so they asked Xu Yao and Gu Jun to sign in quickly.
Xu Yao and Gu Jun walked close together and asked him quietly, "You even changed your car, why don't you introduce your new position in the company?"
"Does this classmate have a grudge against you?"
Gu Jun asked Xu Yao in return.
Xu Yao shook her head: "No hatred or resentment, he is the neutral faction in the class."
At most, he was a little snobbish. Xu Yao didn't think it was a big problem. He was a good person for not taking advantage of her family's misfortune after they went bankrupt.
"Without any hatred or grudge, what's there to introduce?"
Gu Jun’s answer stunned Xu Yao.
When the two of them arrived at the big private room, it was indeed crowded.
Wen Yiyi and Shen Yan sat in a very conspicuous position. Several girls gathered around Wen Yiyi to talk, while the boys gathered around Shen Yan. Seeing Xu Yao, the noise in the big box paused for a few seconds, and then someone greeted Xu Yao and Gu Jun to take a seat. The students in the box were not surprised that Xu Yao married Gu Jun. It seemed that Wen Yiyi had already helped Xu Yao spread the word, and everyone was mentally prepared.
Xu Yao was arranged to sit at the same table with Wen Yiyi and Chen Yan, while Gu Jun was at the next table.
"There's only one seat left at this table. Is it okay for you two to sit apart for a while?"
The person arranging the seats thought he was being humorous, but Xu Yao held onto Gu Jun's arm tightly and refused to let go: "I don't think that's a good idea."
The person who arranged the seats suddenly felt awkward.
"But this table can only seat one person..."
The class reunion had already classified everyone when arranging the seats.
Xu Yao was able to sit at the same table with Wen Yiyi because she was now a well-known internet celebrity. Everyone knew that being an internet celebrity was very lucrative, and Xu Yao's personal income was enough to sit at this table. As the "family member" brought by Wen Yiyi, Chen Yan was the focus of public relations for many male classmates today. When they were in school, they didn't understand what "Nancheng Shen Family" meant, but now they have entered society and understand what they should understand.
If Wen Yiyi hadn't brought Shen Yan to the class reunion, it would be difficult for ordinary people to have a meal with Shen Yan.
In addition, the hotels where the gathering is held today are all owned by the Shen family, so everyone has to give Shen Yan some face. He is a well-deserved VIP.
Gu Jun, who has no background, is just a superfluous thing, so it doesn’t matter where he sits!
Xu Yao knew what these people were thinking, but she was too lazy to cooperate: "Then I'll go sit at another table. Wherever there are two seats, I'll sit there. If every table is empty, I won't disturb everyone's fun."
