Out of a sense of responsibility to my best friend.
Or perhaps she couldn't bear to see her best friend jump into a fire pit.
The self-righteous Xia Shangni pulled Ouyang Luoxue aside and began to plead with her in a low voice.
"My dear Luo Xue, are you kidding me? You're the CEO of a conglomerate, and you control the West Lake brand beauty cream. The brand value has now reached 50 billion US dollars, plus the sales that are skyrocketing every day."
She was clearly aware of Ouyang Luoxue's current situation.
That's why I was secretly worried for the other party.
"Your net worth has skyrocketed. You're already a well-known powerful woman in Great Xia. It wouldn't be a problem for you to be among the top on the Forbes rich list. There are so many outstanding people for you to choose from, why would you choose a poor loser?"
The Forbes Global 2010 list is published annually, while the popularity of West Lake Beauty Cream is a recent phenomenon, occurring only in the last few months.
It's not time for the selection yet.
However, based on the wealth of this year's richest people, Ouyang Luoxue would easily rank in the top fifty.
So, one is a powerful woman on the global rich list, and the other is an ordinary office worker.
The difference between them is like heaven and earth, no wonder Xia Shangni is anxious for Ouyang Luoxue.
Anyone would be skeptical of their relationship.
"My dear Snowfall, you've been blinded by greed."
Faced with her best friend's earnest persuasion, Ouyang Luoxue was both amused and exasperated, and patiently explained.
"No, Shangni, you've misunderstood. Xiaofeng isn't as bad as you think, and he's not just an ordinary employee. He's..."
Before he could finish speaking, Xia Shangni interrupted him.
"Alright, stop defending him. A loser is always a loser. It's impossible for him to transform into a rich and handsome man."
"I see you're completely infatuated with this guy. You should dump him right away. You can play around with pretty boys like him, but don't take it seriously. He's not good enough for you."
"Let me introduce you to some of the richest young men in Shanghai. When it comes to marriage, it's important to be well-matched in terms of social standing."
"You two are not even in the same social class. You two will not be happy together."
Xia Shangni kept rambling on, rolling her eyes at Ye Feng several times, her contempt and disgust barely concealed.
Ye Feng was too lazy to bother with such a superficial woman, and out of respect for Ouyang Luoxue, he naturally wouldn't stoop to her level.
Seeing that Ye Feng remained silent, like a country bumpkin who had never seen the world, Xia Shangni's disdain deepened, and she became even more convinced that he was just a poor country boy.
"How about the snowfall? I told you so, didn't I?"
"This kid has never seen anything like the world."
Moreover, in order to make sure Ye Feng heard her, she deliberately raised her voice this time, saying, "It's like a toad trying to eat swan meat."
Ouyang Luoxue felt a little embarrassed and glanced apologetically at Ye Feng, only to see him walk away with a dark expression.
"Shangni, didn't you just say that you admire Ye Tianshen the most?"
Upon hearing the mention of Ye Tianshen, Xia Shangni immediately perked up, raised her head, and said.
"That's right, so many beautiful girls in Shanghai dream of marrying Ye Tianshen. How come you know Ye Tianshen?"
Before Ouyang Luoxue could answer, he sighed and said to himself.
"Sigh, I doubt you would even know him. How could someone as almost godlike as Ye Tianshen possibly know us ants?"
"However, if I could just see him once, it would be worth it to give up ten years of my life."
Around her neck hung a miniature statue of Ye Tianshen, bought online, about the thickness of a thumb.
She kept stroking it with her hands, and her gaze softened.
Since Ye Tianshen became a sensation in China and gained global fame, many figurines and trinkets featuring him have appeared online and are selling extremely well.
The one Xia Shangni bought is similar to a talisman.
According to her, this item had been blessed by a master, and wearing it regularly was believed to bring her good luck.
Only a small group of people at the very top of the martial arts world are qualified to know about Ye Tianshen's relationship with West Lake Beauty Cream.
Ordinary people like Xia Shangni can't even begin to grasp that level.
Ye Feng was speechless, his face full of black lines.
Even he hadn't expected that people nowadays would be so quick-witted when doing business.
Ouyang Luoxue covered her mouth and giggled non-stop. She was naturally happy to see her husband so popular.
"Shangni, if I told you that Ye Tianshen is both far away and right in front of you, wouldn't you believe me?"
Xia Shangni was taken aback. She put Ye Tianshen's accessory back into the depths of her collar and carefully looked at the people around her.
Finally, he turned his gaze to Ye Feng, and said with disbelief and some uncertainty.
"Luoxue, you wouldn't... be talking about him, would you..."
Ouyang Luoxue, supporting Ye Feng's arm, said with great pride.
"That's right, my fiancé, Ye Feng, is the hero of Great Xia, Ye Tianshen!"
"He was once awarded the title of 'Unparalleled Hero' by the military!"
Since ancient times, there has been a saying that people hope their sons will become dragons, and also hope their husbands will become dragons.
Every woman hopes her husband will be someone of high status.
After a moment of stunned silence, Xia Shangni suddenly burst into laughter, laughing so hard she was doubled over.
The two snow-capped peaks on her chest rose and fell, dazzling the eyes.
"Haha, this is hilarious..."
Xia Shangni wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, but still couldn't help laughing.
"Falling Snow, it's been so many years. I didn't expect you to have become so fond of joking."
