Chapter 807 I don't have a husband yet.
After a couple of drinks, the two started chatting.
Hu Xiaoyan sighed and said, "We're all middle-aged now, not as innocent as we were when we were kids. When we were kids, our feelings and thoughts were simple. We would play with whoever we liked and stay far away from whoever we didn't like."
"Now we're all just friends on the surface. No matter how much we look down on someone, we still care about appearances. Meifeng doesn't really have many friends because of her personality. She's been like this since she was in school, but everyone still has to go to her wedding. And this is especially true in a small place like Longyang, where you see each other all the time."
Shen Jingjing nodded silently. She had left home early and didn't have much experience with the social interactions and interpersonal relationships in her hometown, but she could completely understand what Xiaoyan was saying.
Just then, two more people walked into the shop. Shen Jingjing and the other person sat down not far from the entrance, and their eyes met as soon as they looked up at each other.
"Xiaoyan!"
The other party saw Hu Xiaoyan, called out to her, and came straight over.
Hu Xiaoyan also stood up enthusiastically: "You're out eating so late at night?"
"I live around here." As he spoke, the other person glanced at Shen Jingjing subconsciously, and seeing that she looked unfamiliar, asked, "Your friend?"
"Can't you recognize me, can you?" Hu Xiaoyan turned to Shen Jingjing and asked, "Can you recognize me?"
Shen Jingjing also politely shook her head.
"Lin Shuang, you were in the class next door in elementary school, remember?"
Shen Jingjing shook her head again, because the memory was too far back.
Hu Xiaoyan gave up and looked at Lin Shuang, saying, "Do you still remember Shen Jingjing?"
But the other person remembered her and nodded quickly: "Yes, I remember her, she's Shen Mingming's sister!"
"You know my older brother?"
“Your older brother pursued me!” Lin Shuang answered readily, which surprised Shen Jingjing. Seeing this, Lin Shuang laughed and said, “I’m not lying to you. Ask Xiaoyan, she knows.”
Hu Xiaoyan nodded: "That happened a long, long time ago. Back then, Lin Shuang had just gotten together with Yu Zhiwen, otherwise she would have almost become your sister-in-law."
"No, that won't do. Shen Mingming isn't my type."
As Shen Jingjing listened to Hu Xiaoyan's words, she felt that she had heard of Yu Zhiwen before.
"Xiaoyan, didn't you just mention Yu Zhiwen?"
Upon hearing her question, Hu Xiaoyan and Lin Shuang both gave a surprisingly similar look, curling their lips in disgust. Hu Xiaoyan explained, "Didn't I just say that Meifeng's second husband is Yu Zhiwen?"
Shen Jingjing was dumbfounded.
But Lin Shuang seemed completely unconcerned, looking at Hu Xiaoyan and asking, "You came back this time just to attend their wedding, right?"
Hu Xiaoyan nodded.
"They even sent me a message," Lin Shuang sneered.
"So, are you going?"
"If he dares to post it, why shouldn't I? What do I have to be afraid of?"
Aren't you angry?
Lin Shuang let out another cold laugh: "What do I have to be angry about? He got married, not made a fortune."
One sentence made Hu Xiaoyan and Shen Jingjing laugh.
Lin Shuang waved her hand: "My friend is waiting for me over there. I'll go first. You two can drink slowly."
After Lin Shuang left, Shen Jingjing whispered, "So Lin Shuang is Yu Zhiwen's ex-wife, and both Yu Zhiwen and He Meifeng were remarried?"
"Yu Zhiwen did not register his marriage with Lin Shuang. The two were together for many years in a daze, then broke up. Then, a few years later, he suddenly got together with Meifeng."
“In this small place, news of this kind of thing spread very quickly, but since there was no infidelity or third-party interference, no one could say anything about it.”
"I just think it's a real pity about Lin Shuang. She's over forty now and still unmarried and childless. She wasted the best years of her youth on Yu Zhiwen and got nothing in return."
Shen Jingjing sighed as she listened: "But she seems quite carefree."
“What else can she do but be carefree?” Hu Xiaoyan sighed. “She says that, but actually Yu Zhiwen has made a fortune. In the early years when he was with Lin Shuang, nothing he did went well, and he kept losing money. But after he got together with He Meifeng, things suddenly turned around, and now he’s a big boss.”
“I reckon Yu Zhiwen’s friends will definitely say things like Lin Shuang is not a good wife, while Mei Feng is.” But everyone knows in their hearts that Yu Zhiwen’s success today is all thanks to Mei Feng’s money and family connections.
"He's a 'phoenix man' from a small town, and now he's throwing a big wedding..."
Hu Xiaoyan is a chatterbox; once she starts talking after drinking alcohol, she can go on and on.
Shen Jingjing was happy to be a listener. Over the years, many things had happened in this small town that she didn't know about. Every time she heard familiar names and their stories, Shen Jingjing still found it quite interesting.
The next day, He Meifeng really came.
"Auntie!" As soon as she entered the courtyard, she greeted the old lady sitting there warmly, "I heard from my brother that Jingjing is back?"
"Xiaoyan and Meifeng are here." The old lady stood up with a smile and was very polite to He Meifeng: "You're back. They're inside. Jingjing, Xiaoyan and Meifeng are here."
Shen Jingjing had already heard the noise and was coming out of the house.
Upon seeing Shen Jingjing, who was still beautiful and lovely, He Meifeng's eyes paused for a moment, but her face and body reacted first, and she greeted her warmly: "Jingjing!"
Shen Jingjing smiled and said, "Meifeng, it's been a long time."
Hu Xiaoyan pretended to be completely unaware that Shen Jingjing had returned and greeted her.
"I heard from your older brother that you were back, and I wanted to come yesterday." He Meifeng held Shen Jingjing's hand and said in a warm manner, "You too, you haven't even contacted us in all these years."
Shen Jingjing said, "I haven't been back much, and I haven't had many opportunities. I received your invitation, and I'll go then."
"You'd better come!" He Meifeng glared at her. "Even though you left home when you were very young, many of your old classmates still remember you. You're beautiful, and everyone remembers you."
As they entered the house, Shen Ci was sitting on the sofa, texting on her phone.
"Your daughter?" He Meifeng recognized her at a glance and praised, "She's so beautiful. She looks like a girl who came back from a big city. She's just as beautiful as you were when you were young."
Shen Ci glanced at her mother with a puzzled look, but still greeted her politely, "Hello, Auntie."
"Hello, what's your name?"
“Aci”.
"Oh, what a nice name! This child is wonderful, with good looks and a great temperament."
Shen Jingjing knew that her daughter didn't like interacting with strangers, so she made an excuse to send her away and invited He Meifeng to sit down and chat.
He Meifeng glanced at Shen Jingjing out of the corner of her eye, then sat down and asked, "You only brought the child back? Where's your husband?"
Shen Jingjing replied gracefully, "I'm not married, and I don't have a husband yet."
With that, He Meifeng's anger subsided immediately: "Are you still married or divorced?"
