Back in school, she and Fang Mei didn't have much of a relationship. During their long university years, they seemed to have never even exchanged a single word.
For someone to suddenly speak ill of her in public like that, they've probably forgotten their brain. Such intense jealousy shows they're just someone who fights over petty gains. Today is a class reunion, so Linghu Lan doesn't need to compete with her.
Some people looked awkwardly at the silent Linghu Lan, and then at Fang Mei, who didn't seem to realize she had said anything that would spoil the atmosphere. They didn't know what to do.
Zeng Hui glanced at Linghu Lan's unwavering expression and felt somewhat resentful. She and Linghu Lan were roommates, and there were some things that Linghu Lan couldn't say, but if she didn't say anything, wouldn't that just make people look down on Linghu Lan?
She frowned and said, "Fang Mei, it's a class reunion today. Let's not say anything that might spoil the mood. Everyone has come all this way in a good mood, so let's talk about something happy."
Fang Mei had actually felt a little regretful just now. The atmosphere was too quiet and it frightened her. However, the regret that had just risen and hadn't had time to take hold was quickly dispelled by Zeng Hui's words. Instead, she felt that she had spoken the truth and that it was nothing serious.
"I was just saying something casually. Everyone came all this way, and we can't even speak the truth. Last year, at our fifth graduation anniversary reunion, everyone knew about the three of them. Everyone had something to say about them. But this year, when she came, there were so many taboos. Does she think she's a queen?"
Everyone blushed slightly, and some of them were already annoyed.
During last year's gathering, everyone did gossip about Linghu Lan, Xia Mingyuan, and Tang Xinyou. However, it was just this person who said it, which is no different from piecing together the truth by mentioning a certain person and everyone making random comments.
It was precisely because of the shared sense of familiarity in chatting about the same things that last year's class reunion was exceptionally lively, and that so many people were able to gather for this year's reunion.
But now that Fang Mei is saying these words, they have taken on a different meaning, making people very uneasy.
Zeng Hui was furious with Fang Mei. Fang Mei was naturally happy last year; she was the queen of this group—beautiful, from a good family, and married well. Everyone took her seriously. But this year, with Linghu Lan's arrival, her leading role seemed to have vanished, and she'd become vicious.
Some people are like that; class reunions are just a place to show off, and otherwise, a place to mess with their classmates.
Zeng Hui glanced at Linghu Lan's expression and, seeing that she didn't seem angry, felt a little relieved. She then said to Fang Mei, "Last year, we were just chatting casually; it wasn't as sordid as you described."
"I was just chatting for a bit, why are you so fixated on me?" Fang Mei glanced at Zeng Hui with disgust, but her gaze fell on Linghu Lan's face. Her skin was really good, smooth and jade-like, very pleasing to the eye. Although she didn't want to admit it, she was jealous.
Zeng Hui wanted to say more, but Linghu Lan tugged at her sleeve, signaling her not to say anything more. Zeng Hui glanced at Linghu Lan and had no choice but to stop. If she continued, it would be pointless. They had come here to have a gathering, and if they kept talking, the gathering would probably end badly.
