Chapter 233: Did He Seduce You First?
Half of the classmates came for Li Xuan; Li Xuan is still quite famous in Huaiyang.
Her life has been one of displacement; she first became the mistress of a Deputy County Magistrate, and not long after she rose to power, she cursed the Deputy County Magistrate to death, then remarried an old Commander older than her own father, and it is said she took both father and son for herself.
After cursing the old Commander to death, she remarried again; whoever she marries, she curses, and everyone knows her as a husband-killer.
Later, she lingered in the red-light district to take on clients, and just when people thought she would stop there, she unexpectedly remarried again.
She is simply the fighter jet among women.
"I reckon she'll come with my ex-husband!" Cui Lili said with a sneer, holding her second husband's arm, "My ex-husband is like a toilet; he has to spend at least an hour in the bathroom before going out."
The crowd burst into laughter.
It was at this moment that Li Xuan walked in, arm-in-arm with Cui Lili's ex-husband, Hou Yaohui.
She had gained some weight after remarrying, which actually made her look a bit younger.
"Oh! Everyone arrived so early!" Li Xuan pointedly looked at the outfits of Si Rong and Ming Zi, and seeing that they were wearing brands she had never seen before, her teeth felt sour.
"Let me introduce everyone, my husband, Hou Yaohui."
Hou Yaohui gave his ex-wife a cold look, then pulled Li Xuan's waist even tighter.
Cui Lili! Even after divorce, I can still find a woman, so just wait and regret it!
Cui Lili:...
She waited, waiting to see if Li Xuan's ability to curse husbands was greater, or if Hou Yaohui's life was tougher.
Li Xuan had thought that by remarrying a somewhat wealthy husband, she could wash away her old infamy as a streetwalker; after all, she was now Mrs. Hou.
Hou Yaohui was in the wholesale business; he seized the opportunity, and half of the home appliances in Huaiyang were wholesaled by him from out of town and then distributed to retailers.
This meant that with these channels, he could make money just by lying down.
Li Xuan could not understand why Cui Lili would want to divorce such a good husband, but in any case, she and Hou Yaohui were currently as thick as thieves.
She even felt that her previous life had been wasted, and that Hou Yaohui was her true soulmate.
Even though she was now Mrs. Hou, the old classmates were unwilling to sit with her, as if she had some man-eating virus on her.
The couple became the odd ones out at the class reunion.
It was just like the last class reunion, with everyone gathered around Si Rong and Ming Zi.
Laughing and chatting.
Li Xuan sneered; they wouldn't suck up to her? Later she would tell Yaohui that none of these old classmates were allowed any discounts when buying their appliances!
The most embarrassing part was during the meal, when these people actually suggested she use serving chopsticks to put the dishes she wanted onto her plate first.
Were they disgusted by her?
Li Xuan was so angry she regretted it, regretted coming to this lousy class reunion.
Before the reunion was even over, she dragged Hou Yaohui away.
On the way, she said angrily, "Yaohui, if these classmates want to buy our appliances in the future, don't sell to them at all!"
Hou Yaohui:...
Is she sick in the head?
"If we don't sell to them, do you think they can't buy other appliances in Huaiyang? The competition is so big now, you should be finding ways to sell the appliances!"
The difference between women is truly too great.
It was all his fault for letting his lower body take the lead for a moment; not only was he suffering endless ridicule for marrying this Li Xuan, but he had already started to regret it not long after the wedding.
"Oh, I see." Li Xuan hadn't expected being a boss's wife to be so stifling; she had thought they were already financially free and could do whatever they wanted.
After leaving the class reunion, Si Rong called Ming Zi and her husband to go to an auction together.
She saw a rare manuscript passed down from the Ming Dynasty.
However, it contained a lot of difficult classical Chinese, and since Si Rong's father loved studying such things, Si Rong spent 300,000 to bid for it.
Over the years, she had been speculating in real estate and had made a lot of money.
Aside from the properties and savings left for her two children, she had rented out many houses to collect rent, and she already had several hundred in hand for daily investments and pocket money.
"Dad will definitely like this."
Si Rong was very satisfied with the gift she bought for her old father today, "It's perfect to give Dad a surprise tomorrow."
It was already very late when she returned home, but with Wu Ma managing the house, the two children were likely already asleep at this hour.
Si Rong was just about to go upstairs when she heard a duck-like voice, "Mom!"
She was startled, and Jiang Cheng gave his son a slap on the hand, "Look at how you scared your mother!"
Jiang Sinian:...
"Dad! Mom!" Jiang Siyu ran over, hugged Si Rong, and started complaining, "I was bullied by someone today!"
Jiang Sinian immediately rushed over to cover her mouth.
Jiang Siyu kicked out, and the siblings started fighting, their punches and kicks moving so fast they were almost a blur.
"What will it take for you to stop snitching?" Jiang Sinian held back his strength, but his little sister used all twelve points of her strength, wishing she could kill him with one punch.
Jiang Siyu rolled her eyes, "Anything?"
"Anything, anything!" Jiang Sinian compromised; if Mom and Dad found out he had snuck off to an internet cafe today, he would definitely be skinned alive.
Why was he so blind as to be born as a fraternal twin with this annoying brat?
The siblings stopped fighting.
Si Rong then asked, "Who bullied you?"
"Brother," Jiang Siyu giggled, very playfully, "but I've already forgiven him just now; after all, we were born to the same parents, we have to love and care for each other."
Si Rong:...
Jiang Cheng:...
They had long been accustomed to the way this brother and sister got along; when they were on good terms, they were truly loving, but when they hated each other, they simply wanted to stab the other to death.
"Go to sleep early; tomorrow is Grandfather's eightieth birthday, and you both need to get up early."
"Got it, Mom." The brother and sister replied in unison, sounding very well-behaved.
Only after their parents had gone upstairs did Jiang Sinian let out a cold snort, "What do you want me to agree to this time?"
This brat always made all sorts of strange requests.
Once, she even made him swear that when he grew up, he would marry Jiang Yue to be her sister-in-law.
She was simply out of her mind!
Jiang Siyu put on a thoughtful expression, and only then said, "Brother, stop fighting for the position of school heartthrob from now on!"
Jiang Sinian:...
His mouth was so wide open in shock that a goose egg could have been stuffed inside.
"Fighting for it? Haven't I always been the undisputed school heartthrob? I'm so devastatingly handsome, who else could it be but me!"
Jiang Siyu:...
She now wanted to find some weapon to stab her brother to death.
"Anyway, you promised me you would do one thing, otherwise I'll go tell Mom and Dad that you didn't do anything good when you went to the internet cafe!"
Jiang Siyu held the leverage, her small hands behind her back, looking carefree.
"Fine, fine," Jiang Sinian said perfunctorily, "I won't fight for the school heartthrob position, but if everyone has a discerning eye and insists on recognizing me as the school heartthrob, you can't blame me."
"No, no, you just can't be the school heartthrob, it's not allowed! There are plenty of boys in school who are more outstanding, handsome, have better temperament, and are a hundred times better than you in every way!"
Jiang Sinian looked at his younger sister's unreasonable demeanor, and a rather unlikely guess suddenly crossed his mind; he feigned confusion, "Who? I don't believe there is any man in school more handsome than me!"
"Lu Fei! He is more handsome than you!"
Jiang Sinian smirked, "Little sister, you've got something going on, haven't you? Speak! Did that pretty boy Lu Fei seduce you first? I'm going to beat him to death!"
