On Saturday, Xu Jiayue invited Ni Sitian, Xiang Zhilan, and Fu Wennuan to have afternoon tea together.
Xiang Zhilan then told Xu Jiayue and Fu Wennuan about their marriage. Xu Jiayue and Fu Wennuan were just as surprised as Ni Sitian had been that day; their mouths were so wide open they could practically fit two eggs.
"Even you got married so suddenly, now I'm truly all alone." Xu Jiayue glanced at the three married women and shouted in frustration, "I want to get married too!"
“Isn’t there someone already available? Pei Yang happens to be single too,” Ni Sitian teased.
Xu Jiayue pursed her lips speechlessly. She really had no interest in Pei Yang whatsoever. To her, Pei Yang was just a playful and mischievous older brother. The only difference between him and Xu Tingchuan was that he was more outgoing.
"Zhi Lan, when are you going to have your wedding?" Xu Jiayue turned the conversation back to Xiang Zhi Lan.
"Around June." Xiang Zhilan knew Shen Muzhi's thoughts; he wanted to hold the wedding before her belly grew bigger.
"What a coincidence?" Xu Jiayue looked at Ni Sitian and said, "My brother and dad said you're also planning to go in June."
“Yes, June 1st.” Ni Sitian smiled.
"You two might as well just do it together," Xu Jiayue joked.
Ni Sitian and Xiang Zhilan exchanged glances and both thought it was a good idea. It would be meaningful if they could get married on the same day, but they still needed to discuss the specifics.
"Ugh..." Fu Wenwen covered her mouth, turned her head away and gagged.
Ni Sitian, who was sitting nearby, quickly patted her back gently and handed her a glass of warm water. "Are you alright?"
Fu Wenwen shook her head and smiled, "It's okay, I'm considered to have had relatively little morning sickness."
When Xiang Zhilan heard her dry heaving, she couldn't help but feel nauseous herself. She tried to suppress it for a while but couldn't, and she started dry heaving as well.
Everyone's eyes turned to her. After recovering, Xiang Zhilan chuckled dryly twice.
She was hesitating whether to tell them that she was also pregnant when she heard a soft female voice: "Sitian".
All eyes turned to the source of the sound. When Ni Sitian saw Ni Ziqi approaching with a smile, her brows furrowed slightly.
Ni Ziqi, seemingly unaware of her unpopularity, walked over to their table, glanced around at Xu Jiayue and the others, and said to Ni Sitian with a charming smile, "Sitian, are they all your friends?"
Ni Sitian was very impatient with Ni Ziqi's pretentious attitude and nodded perfunctorily.
"Zhi Lan, it's been a long time." Ni Ziqi greeted Xiang Zhi Lan with a smile.
Speaking of which, Ni Ziqi and Xiang Zhilan were classmates. They were both three years older than Ni Sitian. They were in the same class in elementary school, and later in junior high and high school.
However, they didn't like each other, so they weren't very familiar with each other.
Xiang Zhilan didn't even bother to give a perfunctory nod, and simply said to Xu Jiayue, "Didn't we just say we were going to go shopping? Let's go now."
"Okay." Xu Jiayue picked up her bag, and Fu Wenwen and Ni Sitian also stood up. No one looked at Ni Ziqi again before walking past her and leaving.
Ni Ziqi watched the four of them leave, feeling embarrassed, her face turning pale and then red.
If she wasn't mistaken, one of Ni Sitian's current friends was actually a female celebrity, and another was carrying a Chanel bag that was one of only fifty available worldwide—something that even money couldn't guarantee you could buy.
She had to admit that Ni Sitian had risen to a high social status, even her friends were of such a high caliber.
She was resentful; why did Ni Sitian get to have so much better?
If she could win over Xu Tingchuan, everything would be hers.
