Though Shen Yi has a mature, queenly deanor, everyone who knows her realizes that this woman is a bit eccentric.
Don’t be fooled by the landlady often joking about Shen Yi being a freak. In truth, that bit of eccentricity doesn’t co off as creepy. Instead, it adds a unique aesthetic to Shen Yi, giving off a fiery signal of approach. It’s not just n who can’t handle it; even she herself, as a woman, finds it hard to resist.
When is Shen Yi’s eccentricity most apparent? Of course, that would be the tis when she relied on her age advantage to tease Su Qing, acting as an older sister.
Now that they’re together, that eccentric feeling seems to have vanished. That won’t do; best friends need to stay eccentric forever. You can’t let such an advantage fade away.
With those fraless glasses on, Shen Yi’s mature, queenly, and slightly eccentric fiery vibe imdiately cos to the fore.
Plus her already perfect figure and looks, what’s it like to hang out in a group of youngsters? Isn’t that simply like taking a stroll?
Any attempt to act young would be an insult to herself. At Shen Yi’s age, with her looks, figure, and aura, she’s truly the Kryptonite to soone like Su Qing, who is in his early twenties.
On second thought, Wen Nanqing felt that it wasn’t unfair for Su Qing to be taken down at all. You could even say it was perfectly logical. If she were a man, she couldn’t resist either.
Not clingy, and knows how to take care of people. Tut, tut, tut. She even started feeling envious of Su Qing.
On the other side, a matte black Aston two-door coupe was cruising down the street, heading toward the North City District.
Zhang Chao’s family is pretty well-off, running a restaurant business. They have a restaurant in Jiangcheng City. It’s not big, but enough for hosting banquets. The family has more businesses in the county, but who wants their son’s wedding to be low-key? Naturally, they won’t hold it in the county.
And Su Qing and Wang Xing are just classmates coming to attend with a gift. They aren’t groomsn, so there’s no need to go that early.
The tradition in Jiang City is that the wedding cars set off at three or four in the morning, then go to the bride’s house, make a ruckus for a while, and have the bride brought to the newlywed’s ho before seven in the morning. After waiting for a while, everyone drives together to the banquet venue to wait for guests to arrive.
At 11:30, the host takes the stage, the ceremony begins, and it ends in half an hour. The banquet officially starts at 12 noon.
Those involved, including the bridesmaids and groomsn, will definitely be busy, but ordinary guests just need to arrive before the ceremony begins, or even before the banquet starts, since nobody really minds. So the two have plenty of ti.
At this mont, Su Qing was holding the steering wheel, gently pressing the gas pedal. Even a slight touch made the car’s roar very apparent.
The car was no longer the dingy old thing from yesterday; instead, it was now glowing conspicuously, driving down the street with no cars daring to co too close, like avoiding a plague.
"Whoa, aweso, it’s so damn cool! Ask your landlady if the car isn’t being used, can I borrow one? I also want to experience this kind of feeling!"
Inside the car, Wang Xing was touching this, looking at that, finding everything fascinating. Mainly, the interior was genuinely luxurious, the streamlined body full of high-tech electronic screens. Sitting here was like sitting in the middle of a pile of cash, feeling ecstatic.
For this, Wang Xing even went out of his way to lower the window, rest his arm on it, and take on a lancholic pose, occasionally checking the reactions of passersby. Whenever young won noticed, he’d secretly delight, a closet show-off.
On the surface, he seed indifferent, but truthfully, he was already on the path to showing off. It’s just that he didn’t have a mask; otherwise, his grin would reach his ears.
"It’s possible, but are you sure? Out of all her cars, except for that bicycle, I feel like you couldn’t afford any scratch. Then again, even that bike might not be cheap!" Su Qing rolled his eyes and said.
Not to ntion Wang Xing; even he had to be cautious driving this car. As for those supercars, he wouldn’t dare touch them.
Primarily because he felt supercars had too low ground clearance, far less comfortable than a sedan. An SUV is the best, with ample space and a good view.
However, this car’s driving feel was okay, and switching to a different car suddenly gave him a sense of freshness.
"Uh... well, never mind. Just sitting in it is enough," Wang Xing said with an embarrassed smile. Indeed, luxury cars aren’t easy to drive!
"Alright, enough posing. Quickly check the exact location. Two guys driving a car like this have nothing to show off about!" Su Qing urged.
If the passenger seat had Shen Yi, or even better the landlady, he’d have already put the windows down. Look at this! A car and a girl, the ultimate show-off tools.
But now, with a nearly 1.8-ter-tall guy sitting in the passenger seat, any thoughts of showing off disappeared.
"Wait till we pass the next intersection. There are two girls checking out over there!"
Su Qing:...
In front of the Fuman Building in the North City District, there were inflatable arches, with a banner above announcing congratulations on Zhang Heng and Ning Tong’s marriage.
The area around the restaurant entrance was also packed with cars, and inside was bustling with people.
It was run by Zhang Heng’s family, and since their son was getting married today, his parents specifically didn’t host any other guests.
In the banquet hall on the ground floor, decorations were hung everywhere. Though it was just past 10 in the morning and not many guests had arrived, Zhang Heng’s friends, classmates, and Ning Tong’s university mates were already gathering, having small group catch-ups.
"Old Zhang, congrats! I didn’t expect you’d be the one to bring Ning Tong ho!"
"Right, who would’ve thought!"
"Zhang Heng, now that you’ve married our Tongtong, if you dare not treat her well, don’t bla us old classmates for taking you to task!"
Those speaking were both n and won, mostly high school classmates.
When their class took the college entrance exam, there were more than fifty people; now, not even 20 had shown up, which was already pretty good.
Ning Tong wasn’t lying when she said this also counted as a mini class reunion.
"Don’t worry, I definitely won’t!" Zhang Heng, dressed in a sharp suit, laughed heartily, looking exceptionally cheerful.
Beside him, Ning Tong, in a pure white wedding gown, was sitting at the table with her female classmates, chatting and clearly happy watching her husband speak so well.
"By the way, who else from our class hasn’t co yet? Old Zhang, did you notify our old schoolmates like Old Gao?" Sports committee mber Li Zhipeng asked.
The main reason so many showed up today was to have a reunion now that everyone had graduated.
Hearing this, Zhang Chao looked around, counted silently, then said, "Pretty much everyone is here. Old Gao is out of town and too busy with work to co back. But not long ago, Tongtong and I contacted Wang Xing and Su Qing, and they said they’d co, but why aren’t they here yet? Sweetheart, give Old Wang a call and hurry them up!"
Upon hearing this, their university classmates were unaffected, but the high school friends all paused, speaking much quieter.
Being in the sa class, three years together, everyone knew about his issues with Su Qing, especially since Su Qing once had feelings for Ning Tong, a fact that was quite obvious to everyone.
Inviting Wang Xing was understandable, but inviting Su Qing seed unnecessary, didn’t it?
"Okay, I’ll call him!" Seeing the awkward atmosphere, Ning Tong quickly said.
Zhang Heng also laughed, "What’s with the looks? We’re all classmates. Plus, everyone’s graduated and gone their separate ways. Not many of us are still around Jiang City, so it’s the perfect chance to get together!"
Everyone nodded at this.
"I wonder what kind of job Old Su is doing now. It’s been a long ti since we’ve been in touch. Hope he cos early; I’d like to drink with him. Even if it ans taking a leave from factory work, he should co today!" Zhang Chao’s friend and henchman, Yang Zhiming, said.
His words were designed to elevate one and belittle another, implying that Su Qing might be too embarrassed to co because he wasn’t doing as well, certainly not as well as Zhang Chao.
Especially in front of Ning Tong.
He had received hints from Zhang Chao. Should Su Qing dare to attend, Yang Zhiming must find a way to belittle him. If Su Qing doesn’t show up, he’d still shift the topic to make fun of him in absentia.
"Tongtong, did you actually invite Su Qing?" Liu Ranran asked quietly.
Ning Tong nodded, "It’s fine, just for the fun!"
"Do you think Su Qing isn’t coming out of embarrassnt?" Yang Zhiming continued with a grin.
At this mont, a voice rang out:
"Yang Zhiming, not to be rude, but you’re as much of a bootlicker as ever!"
