Zhou Lingling took Shen Yao's arm, walked up to Xue Xiaoxue, and called out to her with a smile, "Xiaoxue, long time no see!"
After saying hello, she smiled and said, "This morning, I told Yaoyao that I haven't seen you for a long time. I didn't expect to meet you here. Isn't it a coincidence?"
Yes, she deliberately pretended to be very close to Xue Xiaoxue and that they had a good relationship, just to see what kind of reaction she and that man would have.
Hearing that all-too-familiar voice, Xue Xiaoxue's body suddenly froze.
She slowly turned her head and looked at Shen Yao and Zhou Lingling who had walked up to her. She saw that the two of them were smiling and staring at her intently.
Xue Xiaoxue's eyes flashed with panic, and she said, "Ling... Lingling, Yaoyao, what a coincidence, why are you... here?"
Suddenly reuniting with her former good sisters, she felt inexplicably nervous and felt ashamed to see them both again.
Therefore, as soon as she opened her mouth, her tongue seemed to be tied and her words naturally became incoherent.
Looking at Shen Yao, who I haven't seen for a few years, she has become more and more beautiful.
In an instant, the happy times in the last half of the semester of senior year in high school and those scenes of laughter emerged in Xue Xiaoxue's mind and lingered for a long time.
I remember that during that half year, the four girls would stay together all day long when they were on campus. Even during holidays, they would often go to the courtyard on Shenyaoan County South Road to practice exercises and have dinner together.
That short but joyful time left many beautiful memories in her life that are still unforgettable.
Sometimes when she had conflicts with her husband, she would involuntarily think of her three little sisters, wondering how they were doing and whether they still remembered her friend who had broken her promise.
But Liu Guodong did not allow her to contact her former classmates. So, even if she missed Yaoyao and her sisters, she could only suppress her longing deep in her heart and not let her husband notice it.
Otherwise, if he notices something unusual, a quarrel will arise.
However, Xue Xiaoxue never expected that she would meet the two little sisters under such circumstances.
Liu Guodong glanced at Shen Yao and Zhou Lingling, with contempt evident in his eyes.
He sarcastically said, "Do I need to ask? My husband and I had just arrived in the capital when your two good classmates showed up at the hotel. If they hadn't gotten the news in advance, who would have believed it?"
"Guodong, don't say that."
Seeing her husband saying some blunt words, Xue Xiaoxue's face suddenly changed. She quickly reached out and pulled his sleeve, asking him to go out and be more restrained in his words and actions.
"Oh, am I wrong?" Liu Guodong glared at her fiercely and continued sarcastically, "Only a stupid woman like you would believe that their appearance here was an accident."
Where is Royal Plaza Hotel?
It is a place specially used for state banquets and for the country to receive foreign guests.
The consumption here is such that a single meal can cost an average worker several months' salary. How can two women from a small county afford to come here and spend money?
Hearing this, Zhou Lingling couldn't help but sneer in her heart. Therefore, she directly followed Liu Guodong's words and said, "Your husband is right. Yaoyao and I came here specifically to see you. Recently, we have encountered some difficulties and our lives are too tight. We want to borrow a few hundred yuan from you to deal with the emergency. When we have more money, we will return the money to you as soon as possible."
When Xue Xiaoxue heard this, her face suddenly turned gloomy.
She looked at Zhou Lingling with embarrassment and refused, "Lingling, I'm sorry."
It's not that she doesn't want to lend, but she really can't do anything about it.
If Lingling only wanted to borrow a few dozen dollars, she could lend them money from her own pocket.
But a few hundred yuan was really too much, and Liu Guodong was watching, so she could only say sorry to her good friend.
She couldn't destroy the family she had worked so hard to build over the years just because of borrowing money. What would happen to her daughter and what would she do?
Divorce? Forgive her for not being able to do it.
After all, it is difficult for a woman abandoned by her husband's family to continue to survive in this society.
Liu Guodong shouted, "See? This is the good friend you can't let go of. He comes to you and asks for money. What's so good about this kind of friend that you should care about?"
Listening to the man in front of her making insinuations again and again, implying that she and Lingling were shameless, Shen Yao couldn't help but sneer.
Tsk, it seems like they really didn't understand the implicit meaning of his words.
What Liu Guodong wanted to say was that although they knew that he did not welcome Xue Xiaoxue's poor classmates, the two of them had no self-awareness and were actually rushing to curry favor with him and Xue Xiaoxue?
Shen Yao glanced at Liu Guodong coldly, and said in a very cold voice, "For a man, it is good to be confident, but if you are blindly arrogant, you will appear to be extremely stupid."
"What do you mean?"
Upon hearing that this woman dared to scold him, Liu Guodong slammed his chopsticks on the table, stood up and questioned Shen Yao viciously.
At this moment, Xu Yang suddenly stepped forward and stood in front of his wife and Shen Yao. He stood straight and tall, staring intently at Liu Guodong, who was a few centimeters shorter than him.
Then, he raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and deliberately slowed down his pace to say something that was infuriating but not fatal, "What I mean is - I'm saying you're stupid!"
“Puff——”
Suddenly, the two sisters Zhou Lingling and Shen Yao smiled unkindly.
Looking at the straight back in front of her, Shen Yao's mouth twitched slightly.
To be honest, she didn't expect that Xu Yang, who used to be very quiet, easy-going and friendly to others, would suddenly rush out and scold people.
Being laughed at by a group of poor ghosts, Liu Guodong's face turned purple and black in an instant.
He clenched his fists so hard that his blood was boiling, and cursed angrily, "Poor people are poor people. They don't even have the most basic qualities. With your condition, you want to borrow money from me? It's just a dream!"
After saying that, he snorted coldly at Xu Yang again, and then he felt a little relieved.
If it weren't for the impending report, he would have to consider his military image. Besides, the other man's eyes were too cold, which made him feel jealous.
Otherwise, he would definitely beat up this foul-mouthed guy in front of him and let him know how terrible the consequences would be if he offended him.
Xu Yang sighed, "In terms of character, I'm really not as good as you. After all, my mother taught us four brothers and sisters very well. Moreover, she often told us earnestly that we should never talk about others behind their backs at any time. Otherwise, if others heard it, we might suffer retribution."
After saying this, Liu Guodong's face turned even darker, so he continued, "Also, don't worry, your copper-smelling money is not something we would want even if you gave it to us for free."
After listening to what Xu Yang said, Xue Xiaoxue's face suddenly turned pale.
I know this class monitor from high school very well. He would never say anything offensive unless there was a reason.
