But it doesn't matter, I haven't cared about it for a long time.
"Let's eat, the food's getting cold." I didn't want to mention Gu Yanqing anymore, so I changed the subject.
Chen Wanzhen also picked up her chopsticks, but before we had taken a few bites, two people passed by and a voice exclaimed in an affected manner, "Oh! Isn't this Miss Jiang? Oh, Chen Wanzhen? You've returned to Jiangcheng too? Looks like it's all for the school anniversary celebration."
Chen Wanzhen and I turned to look at the young woman in front of us, who was dressed in jewels and had exquisite makeup. We were both stunned.
A moment later, I recognized her and asked somewhat doubtfully, "Xu Qianning?"
To everyone's surprise, Chen Wanzhen smoothly replied, "How did you get such extensive plastic surgery? I almost didn't recognize you!"
I:"……"
Xu Qianning's face instantly fell. "Chen Wanzhen, do you even know how to speak?"
Chen Wanzhen pursed her lips, "Just telling the truth."
I thought this was my best friend's restaurant, and I didn't want a conflict to affect their business, so I quickly changed the subject: "Did Miss Xu come back to China specifically for the school anniversary celebration?"
Xu Qianning crossed her arms, turned her head away, and said arrogantly, "Not entirely. I got promoted, returned to China to take up my post, and also to attend the school anniversary celebration and see my old classmates."
"Oh, congratulations!" I said with a smile.
The person in front of me is also my college classmate, but we are mortal enemies.
The reason is that when we were in school, our family backgrounds were similar, our grades in our major courses were similar, and even our height and appearance were comparable.
As the saying goes, "two tigers cannot share one mountain," let alone two tigresses—which means that she and I are constantly in competition.
But most of the time, I was slightly better and received a few more honors than her.
Over time, she came to see me as a thorn in her side.
After graduation, she went abroad, and we never saw each other again.
I never expected that when we met again at the school anniversary celebration, she would still treat me like an enemy, and her words were full of barbs as soon as we met.
Looking at her face, which had clearly been surgically altered and made to look as delicate as a Barbie doll, I felt a deep sense of regret.
Actually, her natural face is prettier and more memorable.
Now, with that strong "internet celebrity" vibe, they've become just another face in the crowd.
"You're welcome." Hearing my compliment, she immediately smiled, then maintained her condescending tone, "As soon as I returned to the country, I heard that your family went bankrupt and your father was imprisoned, all thanks to you—Jiang Wan, you are indeed more capable than me, ruthless enough!"
"Thank you for the compliment." I replied with a faint smile.
Xu Qianning continued to make things difficult, "You're heavily in debt, and you still come to eat at a restaurant like this? Do you even have the money to pay the bill?"
I asked deliberately, "What, Miss Xu, are you going to pay for me?"
"Tsk, you've certainly learned to be flexible now. It's just the cost of a meal? Fine, consider it my treat for my old classmate." Xu Qianning finished speaking, raised her hand, and beckoned a waiter.
"Hey! Xu Qianning, you—" Chen Wanzhen was startled and hurriedly raised her hand to stop me, but I stopped her.
I gave Chen Wanzhen a wink, and she understood, then sat up straight again.
