Curious, Wang Mudan quickly replied, "Cherry, long time no see. How did you get my contact information?"
“Du Juan sent it to me.”
"Oh, great! Where do you work? How have you been these past few years?"
"It's okay. I've been working in Nanyou City."
"It's so close to us, come and play when you have time."
Wang Mudan said politely that she has a smooth and friendly personality and is always enthusiastic no matter who she interacts with. As a result, she has been very successful in the business world over the years and has become known as "Sister Wang" in the electromechanical products industry.
Although she and Luo Yingtao had an emotional entanglement, in her eyes, Luo Yingtao was just an old classmate whom she hadn't seen for many years. In her dictionary, there were only friends and friendships, no enemies and grudges. Her broad vision enabled her to make many good friends in Nanzhong City over the years, and established a solid network of contacts for her business expansion.
"Okay, I heard from Du Juan that you just had a son. Congratulations!" Luo Yingtao's tone was also very polite. As to whether it was a sincere blessing, Wang Mudan didn't know.
"Thank you! We're having a hundred-day party on the 8th of next month. Several classmates will be there. Come and join us."
"Haha, the reason I sent you a WeChat message is that I want to attend the banquet. I also want to meet so many old classmates. I'm afraid you won't welcome me, so I want to say hello to you in advance." Luo Yingtao said tentatively. They haven't seen each other for so many years, and she is not sure how Wang Mudan will view her.
"Haha, Cherry, we are old classmates, how can I not welcome you? I am so happy that I can't contain myself." Wang Mudan's words were so sweet that Luo Yingtao was a little flattered.
"Okay, I'll definitely go then."
"Okay, that day will definitely be lively. See you on the 8th of next month!"
They are rivals in love, but they have many similarities in character, that is, they are both worldly-wise and sophisticated. After twelve years of experience in society, their interpersonal relationships are more sophisticated than before. This is the first time they have spoken on the phone after twelve years of separation. They chatted politely with each other and seemed very enthusiastic, having long forgotten their previous estrangement.
Whether intentionally or unintentionally, they all cleverly avoided mentioning Simingda's name. They knew very well in their hearts that no matter how smooth they tried to be verbally, Simingda's name would always be a sensitive word between them.
Luo Yingtao wanted to attend the 100-day banquet of Si Mingda and Wang Mudan's son. In addition to wanting to reminisce with old classmates, she also had an important purpose. Her financial company had been open for a few years, but business had not been very good. She wanted to take this opportunity to meet more businessmen in order to expand her financial company's business.
She'd been through all sorts of things in her middle age, so what if she'd met Simingda? Maintaining a livelihood was the best strategy for middle-aged people. If she put aside her concerns and established a good relationship with Simingda, she might be able to help her finance company expand. Why not?
Based on considerations of practical interests, she took the initiative to add Wang Mudan's WeChat and told her that she would attend the banquet.
For Wang Mudan, Luo Yingtao is a thorn in her heart. From a personal perspective, she certainly does not want to meet this rival. This is determined by women's nature. No matter how magnanimous they are, they have a common characteristic in their emotions, that is, absolute selfishness and exclusivity.
On second thought, it has been more than twelve years since graduation, and Luo Yingtao now has a family and children. Shouldn't Si Mingda change his mind for the sake of his son?
After careful consideration, Wang Mudan generously agreed to Luo Yingtao coming to the banquet. To avoid embarrassment during the meeting, she specifically informed Simingda of Luo Yingtao's coming to the banquet: "Luo Yingtao will also come to the banquet, what are you thinking?"
After so many years of graduation, Si Mingda and Wang Mudan had never mentioned Luo Yingtao's name. He didn't expect that on this festive occasion, Wang Mudan would actually take the initiative to mention Luo Yingtao to him?
"What did you say? She's coming to the party too?" Si Mingda asked in surprise, "Where is she?"
"She works in Nanyou City, and Lan Dujuan recommended my WeChat to her." Wang Mudan deliberately teased: "What's wrong? Don't you want to see your old lover?"
"Okay, stop talking nonsense." Si Mingda smiled awkwardly and said, "If she wants to come, then come. There are so many classmates attending anyway, so it's okay for her to come and reminisce about the past."
"That's right, just treat it as a reminisce about the past. I just hope you don't talk about your old relationship." Wang Mudan took the initiative and gave Si Mingda a shot in the arm.
"Okay, stop talking nonsense, that's all in the past."
Si Mingda said that he didn't care, but in fact, his heart was already in turmoil. Hearing Luo Yingtao's name for the first time in more than ten years made him very surprised and excited. He wondered how the woman who had been hidden in his heart for more than ten years was doing now?
He began to eagerly look forward to the banquet day. He really wanted to know about Luo Yingtao's recent situation. Taking Wang Mudan's feelings into consideration, he did not ask too much about Luo Yingtao's contact information and recent situation.
If Wang Mudan could predict early on what kind of risks Si Mingda's meeting with Luo Yingtao might bring to her family, she would never "let the wolf in the house" and let her family's backyard burn.
She would never have thought that since their reunion at the last banquet, Simingda and Luo Yingtao's relationship would be beyond her control. People's hearts are unpredictable, and she only regretted that there is no medicine for regret in the world.
Whenever she thought of this incident, her heart ached so much that she couldn't breathe. She regretted that she had underestimated the ugliness of human nature, and shouldn't have overestimated Simingda's feelings for her. What made her feel ashamed and angry was that she underestimated Simingda's infatuation with Luo Yingtao. Love to the extreme is hate, and she hated the harm brought to her by these two people who were once most familiar to her.
