"I couldn't recognize you for a long time, I didn't expect to run into you here."
Looking at the outstretched hand and the face in front of her, Jiang Si quickly searched her memory.
She looked somewhat familiar, but the other person was wearing makeup that was clearly inappropriate for her age.
Jiang Si couldn't remember who this person was for the time being.
The only polite thing to do was to ask, "Who are you?"
Seeing Jiang Si's reaction, the other party's face showed a hint of embarrassment.
For some reason, she suddenly smiled again, "Me, Xu Fangmin! We went to the same school. You were in the first grade, and I was in the second grade. Don't you remember me?"
Xu Fangmin?
Jiang Si did have a vague recollection of this name.
The reason I remember them is because during our school days, their names were always compared together.
But because she was taking a small class.
Small class is similar to the international classes in public high schools in later generations, with only a dozen or so students in the class.
The tuition for a regular class is only four yuan per semester, while the tuition for a small class is over one hundred yuan.
If you add in the cost of meals and other outdoor activities, it will cost at least several hundred yuan per semester.
Therefore, although the two were graduates of the same school and in the same year, they never had any interaction.
Out of politeness, Jiang Si shook hands with the other person.
Seeing that Jiang Si still didn't react, Xu Fangmin chuckled awkwardly, but countless thoughts were churning in her mind.
She and Jiang Si were from the same school and were the same age, with similar interests, so they could have become very good friends.
But in reality, their relationship was just so-so, or even a little complicated.
The Jiang family were well-known capitalists in Shanghai, while she came from an ordinary cadre family.
Jiang Si was strikingly beautiful and was recognized as a beauty in the school; at best, she could be described as pretty.
In her studies, she went to bed late and got up early every day, but she was always outdone by Jiang Si.
What she couldn't understand the most was that Jiang Si was known for being sharp-tongued and mean-spirited at school.
Even so, students from the neighboring boys' school still swarmed the school gate like flies every day after school.
Even the person she had secretly liked for a long time contacted her only to inquire about Jiang Si.
The only thing that made her feel a little more at ease was that Jiang Si was engaged.
I heard that she hired a taciturn bodyguard who is eight years older than her!
She had never met that person, but she could imagine who he was.
What kind of good family can a bodyguard come from?
They're nothing more than simple-minded, physically strong, and violent brutes!
His family background is probably not much better.
Otherwise, Jiang Si wouldn't have been able to keep this news a secret so well.
Moreover, she felt that the two of them might have already been having an affair.
Of course, it's also possible that the man forced himself on her.
I felt a complex mix of emotions after learning the news.
Xu Fangmin immediately spread the news that Jiang Si had a childhood sweetheart and would be living with a martial arts master in the future.
Xu Fangmin had no idea what happened next.
Not long after, her whole family moved to Beijing due to her father's job transfer.
Later, right after graduating from high school, she got married as arranged by her family.
My husband is a military officer, young and promising, and comes from a very good family.
The year after her marriage, she gave birth to a healthy baby boy, giving birth to a son for her husband's family.
In an instant, she became the envy of everyone.
Although there has been no news of Jiang Si in recent years, when the nest is overturned, how can the eggs remain intact?
Examples of liquidating capitalists abound in Beijing.
I imagine that her life as a capitalist's daughter isn't much better.
Xu Fangmin felt that she had finally outshone Jiang Si, who had been superior to her, but she never expected to run into her on the train back to Beijing today.
Lost in thought, Xu Fangmin glanced at Jiang Si again.
When people fill in the blanks in their minds, they selectively ignore certain things.
Just like now.
Seeing Jiang Si dressed casually and without makeup, Xu Fangmin subconsciously felt that she was living an ordinary life.
Along with that, a sense of superiority inexplicably arose in my heart.
Just then, the man who had gone to order food earlier came over.
Xu Fangmin stepped forward and took his arm, then turned to Jiang Si and said.
"By the way, old classmate, let me introduce you. This is my wife, her name is Shen Chao."
“He works in the military and was promoted to officer last year. He is now a battalion-level officer.”
Upon seeing Jiang Si, the man visibly paused for a moment before realizing what was happening.
"Hello...
Jiang Si replied calmly, "Hello."
Xu Fangmin cursed her husband under her breath, calling him shameless, but she didn't show it on her face.
"This is my son Mingming, he's almost three years old, and he's very mischievous now."
"Mingming, quickly call her Auntie."
"No, no, I want to eat!"
The little boy was already hungry and wouldn't call out.
"Why are you like this, child?"
After feigning a scolding to her son, Xu Fangmin's gaze fell on Jiang Si.
"Jiang Si, how are you doing now? It's been four or five years since we last saw each other."
"By the way, are you married now?"
The two had only a casual relationship; they weren't even close.
Jiang Si didn't want to say more, so she just nodded.
Xu Fangmin was clearly not satisfied with this answer and continued to press, "Where is your husband? Didn't he come with you?"
Before Jiang Si could answer, she looked over with a gossipy expression.
"Did you marry the same child groom you had before?"
