The award ceremony is about to start, Li Tingyan went to wait for his turn, while Nianyang followed the guide to the family’s seating area in the second row.
As soon as she sat down, she saw Xu Zhiyi and Lin Xia walking over one after the other. These two were her friends in the family compound, and they hadn’t seen each other for a while, so the three of them were really happy chatting.
After so warm greetings, Xu Zhiyi deliberately complained, "You went to college for months without coming back to see us. If it weren’t for your husband’s eting, I bet you wouldn’t have co over. You’re not being very fair, girl."
Nianyang clung to Xu Zhiyi’s arm, "Oh co on, Saozi, what are you saying? I’ve just been busy. I’ll definitely co back to see you when I have a holiday."
Lin Xia chuckled and said, "Nian girl, your husband is really capable, becoming an engineer so young, the number one among the n in our family compound. You’ll be living the good life from now on."
Upon hearing others praise Li Tingyan, Nianyang’s face was instantaneously filled with pride, like a parent receiving complints about their child.
Suddenly, a disdainful voice sounded, "Tch, it’s just a promotion. Who hasn’t been promoted before? What’s there to be proud of?"
It was Yang i, the extre Saozi who had previously had conflicts with Nianyang in the family compound.
If it were any other day, Nianyang might just ignore such sour remarks, but today being her husband’s special day, she couldn’t endure the snide comnts.
She looked over with a smile, "There’s nothing much to be proud of, but it’s surely better than your husband being ten years older than mine and yet still just a team leader, right?"
"You..."
Yang i’s face turned green imdiately; these words struck a nerve. Her dislike for Nianyang stemd from Nianyang’s husband being more impressive than hers.
Originally, her husband was almost going to be promoted to president, but Nianyang’s actions led to him being just a team leader. Now Nianyang’s husband is rising step by step to beco an engineer; how could she not be jealous?
Nianyang’s words were so infuriating, "But Yang Saozi, don’t worry, just let your husband work harder. Maybe in another ten years, he’ll be promoted like mine?"
"Have you said enough?" Yang i was so angry her eyes turned red, looking as if she would tear Nianyang apart, blurting out,
"Your husband beca an engineer at only 26. Who knows if there’s any shady dealings? Where can you even find a 26-year-old engineer? I bet you did sothing behind the scenes, maybe bribed soone at the top!"
Nianyang’s expression turned cold, and Xu Zhiyi reprimanded, "Yang i, what nonsense are you spouting!"
"I’m not talking nonsense; her husband’s promotion is just not normal..."
Nianyang sneered, "Try saying that one more ti? Have you forgotten the consequences of your reckless talk last ti for your husband? If you dare spread rumors about my husband, do you believe I could make you kneel and apologize to in front of everyone right now?"
Yang i spoke too quick, and hearing Nianyang’s words, she instantly chickened out and shut her mouth, though still unsatisfied inside, her beady eyes maliciously darting around.
Seeing Yang i calm down, Nianyang let it go. If it weren’t her husband’s special day, she definitely wouldn’t have let Yang i off with just a few words.
This award ceremony doesn’t only reward Li Tingyan alone...
