"Exactly, exactly, we're just here to party today, no comparisons." A short girl with a baby face chid in.
"Zhou Qin, you have the nerve to say that after bringing your foreign boyfriend over, and then claim there are no comparisons. That's just dog abuse, we're not buying it," the girls teased.
Zhou Qin, the girl sitting next to a blond-haired, blue-eyed foreigner.
Petite and delicate, with a baby face, she does look quite cute.
"What's there to brag about ? Your boyfriends are the impressive ones. Linda, I heard your boyfriend is a company executive, why didn't you bring him along?" Zhou Qin said with false modesty, her eyes gleaming with undisguised pride.
Nowadays, so many Huaxia girls feel that having a foreign boyfriend is a significant status symbol.
Especially Western n, who are incredibly popular in Huaxia.
But are foreigners really that great?
Take Zhou Qin for example, she's only 1.5 ters tall, while her United States boyfriend stands at 1.9 ters, his arms thicker than her legs.
Even though the "cute height difference" is trendy now.
But isn't this difference a bit too much?
There's another possibility though.
That this foreign guy isn't really Zhou Qin's boyfriend, but just soone Zhou Qin brought to make an appearance.
"My husband is just a deputy manager in a small clothing company, not so high-level executive," said the small beauty with a lon-seed face with a sigh.
"..."
Then, they all started praising each other.
Su Chen was speechless.
Didn't we agree not to compare? Why does it feel like the comparisons have already started?
But everyone is doing it in a subtle way.
It's more like mutual admiration, instead of self-praise.
As if they had agreed beforehand, deliberately showcasing their boyfriends or husbands' impressive attributes.
Company vice-presidents, minor business owners, super-rich second generations, even Special Soldiers.
What kind of reunion is this? It's more like a competition.
But such things aren't uncommon at reunions; nothing surprising there.
"Ah, none of you compare to Mia, whose boyfriend is a big deal in the entertainnt industry. Mia, whether we can beco celebrities depends entirely on you!"
Eventually, the topic ca back around to Mia.
Mia was the organizer of this reunion.
Just returned from overseas a few days ago, she t a big shot in the entertainnt industry.
He promised to package her quickly and make her famous, turning her into a blockbuster success worth over five billion.
Mia is actually quite attractive, particularly her tall figure.
She could indeed be a minor celebrity.
But to say she could carry a film worth several billion and be a true leading lady?
That's a joke.
Because reaching such heights takes more than just looks.
It requires a great deal of acting skill too.
"Don't worry, Jianjian has already promised , you all will get a part," Mia said happily, her vanity greatly satisfied.
"By the way, EVE, you and Mia were both the belles of our South Mountain High School, surely you can't still be without a boyfriend?" Finally, after all the mutual praises, they turned their attention to Lin Xi.
Upon hearing this, Lin Xi discreetly glanced at Su Chen, then smiled and shook her head, saying, "Not yet."
"Really?" the others were sowhat incredulous.
"Really," Lin Xi confird.
Although she's married, she indeed doesn't have a boyfriend.
"EVE, we have to call you out on this, look at you, already in your late twenties nearly hitting thirty, why don't you find a boyfriend to marry while you still have your youth and beauty? If you wait too long, it'll get harder to find soone,"
"Yeah, yeah, EVE, don't be too picky, good n these days are like rare animals, just settling is alright."
"..."
Everyone had a very earnest look.
"Ah, you all are wrong, it's not that EVE isn't looking for a boyfriend, she's busy with her career. Rember what she said back then, a woman has to rely on herself," Mia suddenly interjected.
She had been competing with Lin Xi since high school.
Over studies, over who was South Mountain High School's top belle, over the first prince of South Mountain High School.
Of course, Lin Xi never actually competed with her over the first prince, it's just that the prince liked Lin Xi and not Mia.
Thus...
But that's all ancient history now.
Lin Xi had almost forgotten all about it.
It was Mia who never forgot.
Her lifelong dream has been to surpass Lin Xi.
Though she herself was quite accomplished, having studied abroad, she didn't want to always be second place.
Now, she was fortunate to have a powerful boyfriend, and it was her ti to shine.
"Oh, right, right, right, when faced with the pursuit of South Mountain High School's first prince and super-rich kid, Luo Bing, EVE once said she wouldn't spend a di of a man's money, a woman has to rely on her own hands."
"Right, how's EVE's career doing now?"
"Look at this business attire she's wearing, I think, EVE must already be a company boss!"
Everyone chuckled and chatted.
The teasing was quite obvious.
After all, Lin Xi today was wearing very ordinary business attire, without even a LOGO.
It looked just like sothing you'd buy from Taobao.
At best, she could be a little white-collar worker in so company.
But the most important was the man Lin Xi brought.
He was all in street vendor clothes too, and his deanor was clearly not that of a wealthy man.
They said colleagues, but clearly, he's the boyfriend, they're just embarrassed to admit it.
After all, everyone else's boyfriends were elites in various fields, but Lin Xi's boyfriend was just an ordinary worker. If it were them, they wouldn't dare admit it either.
Even though Lin Xi's appearance was still stunning and charismatic.
But what does it matter?
Marry an average man and then worry about daily expenses every day.
Even the most beautiful face has its fading day, and even the best figures change over ti.
It won't be long before Lin Xi turns into an old and ugly middle-aged woman.
Clearly, from Lin Xi's attire and the man Lin Xi brought, these won had decided.
Lin Xi's life isn't going so well!
