Chapter 257: Slap in the Face



Xu Mo looked over and recognized the person.

"Xie Ming."

Xie Ming straightened his back, walked in front of Xu Mo, looked Xu Mo up and down, with interesting emotions in his eyes.

He and Xu Mo were classmates in junior high school and also sat at the same table. They disliked each other and often fought.

It was mainly Xie Ming who instigated it.

Xie Ming's father was a gangster and he didn't pay much attention to Xie Ming, which led to Xie Ming becoming an uneducated and trouble-making person.

When they were in school, Xie Ming liked Ma Xiaocui, the prettiest girl in the class, but that girl liked Xu Mo.

Xie Ming began to dislike Xu Mo in various ways.

Later, Xie Ming dropped out of school, and the two never saw each other again.

Xie Ming looked at Xu Mo, who was now dressed in shabby clothes, and his sense of superiority suddenly increased.

In the past, the Xu family had some money in the village and lived a good life.

In addition, Xu Mo was a good-looking boy, and most of the girls in the class liked him when he was in school.

But what use is it now? The Xu family has fallen into decline, and now they have become ordinary peasants, living in poverty.

What is this called?

This is called the cycle of fortune.

Xie Ming snorted coldly, turned his eyes and swept towards Shen Jiaojiao who was not far away from Xu Mo.

A very beautiful girl.

I guess he is waiting for his family here.

The man's gaze stayed on Shen Jiaojiao for two more seconds.

I can't help but sigh, today's girls are so pretty!

You can tell at first glance that he is very rich.

If he hadn't married yet, he would have definitely gotten her.

He simply ignored the fact that this person knew Xu Mo, and he never thought that Shen Jiaojiao would be Xu Mo's wife.

In his mind, Xu Mo is now a real peasant, whose family is so poor that they can barely make ends meet. Any good-looking girl would look down on such a family.

The presence of the beautiful girl further stimulated Xie Ming's desire to show off.

After all, when a man is in front of a woman, he always hopes to attract the woman's attention.

Xie Ming retracted his gaze and looked at Xu Mo with a superior attitude.

"You are really Xu Mo, why are you living like this now?"

He looked very surprised. "I heard something happened in your family. Your life is not as good as before?"

Xie Ming said this and took out a box of cigarettes.

A red cigarette box with the word "China" written on it.

He took a cigarette from the box and lit it up, puffing a few times. Then he seemed to come to his senses and raised the cigarette box to ask Xu Mo, "Do you smoke?"

"No." Xu Mo said calmly.

Xie Ming didn't try to persuade him much, nor did he put the cigarette box directly into his pocket. Instead, he held it in his hands and played with it.

I sneered in my heart, thinking that I couldn't even afford a meal, so how could I have money to smoke?

Xie Ming exhaled a puff of smoke, his expression showing great satisfaction and enjoyment.

"This Da Zhonghua cigarette is comfortable to smoke, but it's a bit expensive, a box costs 72 cents, and I'm a heavy smoker, so I have to smoke a pack a day. If you calculate it this way, the monthly expenditure is not small!

Oh, that’s about twenty dollars a month!

Hey, you tell me, I wouldn’t know the result if I didn’t calculate it. Fortunately, I am now the manager of this factory, and the monthly salary is not bad, which is enough for me to live a good life.”

After saying that, he took another deep puff of the cigarette.

Xu Mo stared at the cigarette in Xie Ming's hand for a while, and said coldly, "This cigarette box of yours is from the old time! It must have been used more than once. It clearly says "Great China" on the cigarette box, but why is there a big rooster on your cigarette holder?

The price of Big Rooster and Da Zhonghua is very different. If I remember correctly, a box of Big Rooster was only 0.12 cents.

It's a very bad cigarette. Seeing how smoothly you smoke it, I think you have already adapted to the acrid smell of this cigarette.

Next time you try to save face, you need to pay attention to the details, otherwise it will be embarrassing if you are exposed."

If Xu Mo had been like before, he wouldn't have wasted his time talking to this kind of person.

What others think of him is their business. He just needs to live his life well.

But now it’s different. His wife is standing by and being maliciously insulted, so he has to fight back.

Can't let my wife look down on me.

Xie Ming was really embarrassed.

The cigarette in his hand became like a hot potato, burning his palms.

He quickly put the cigarette back into his trouser pocket, took a deep breath, and crushed the cigarette butt.

I feel very depressed.

He really couldn't afford to buy Great China, so he picked up the empty Great China cigarette box that his leader threw away last time.

He put the Big Rooster cigarettes he bought into the box of Great China to save face.

No one had ever discovered it before, but unexpectedly Xu Mo discovered it.

Depressed.

Xie Ming couldn't swallow this.

He forced an explanation with the corners of his mouth pulled.

"This...maybe my wife made a mistake. After all, there's a lot of smoke in the house, so it's normal to make a mistake once.

What a coincidence that you found me. It's really embarrassing."

Xie Ming glanced at Shen Jiaojiao next to him and found that the girl was looking at him, which made him even more embarrassed.

How could he bear to lose face in front of a beautiful girl?

Xie Ming let out a long breath, cursing Xu Mo to death in his heart, thinking that he must get back at his own game.

He couldn't let Xu Mo, a country bumpkin, steal his limelight in front of the girl.

So he forced the topic to change, "Xu Mo, do you still remember Ma Xiaocui? She was the prettiest girl in our class. It was rumored in school that she liked you.

But guess what happened? Ma Xiaocui married me and we had a baby. It was really embarrassing. No one would have thought that a little rascal like me could marry the most beautiful girl in the class.

No one would have thought that you, Xu Mo, would be doing worse than me.

What is this called? Things change over time. Don’t look down on the poor young people.

Haha...Xu Mo, you are not married yet! I heard earlier that you were rejected by someone, and now your reputation is in a bad state.

It will be difficult for you to get married in the future.

You are already quite old this year, so how about I introduce you to a divorced woman? The woman is 30 years old this year and has two children. She is helpless now. If I introduce her to you, she should agree.

She has good conditions and looks okay.

You'd better stop being picky. Your current conditions don't allow it. No matter how much you pick, you won't find a good girl to marry. You might as well find a divorced man with children. Wouldn't it be nice for you to just be the cheap father?

How cool it is to be a cheap daddy! "

Humph, if anyone dares to expose his shortcomings, he must humiliate him to death.

Xu Mo's eyes were cold, and he stared at Xie Ming sharply, "I don't know anything about Ma Xiaocui, and I don't care who you marry. I don't care whether your child has soy sauce or not, and whether he has your last name or not.

Since you like being a cheap dad so much, just do it yourself and don't involve others. You'd better shut up about my business. If you say one more word, I will report you."
