Chapter 804

As a result, Shen Jingjing's voice startled the other person, and then the person widened her eyes in excitement: "Jingjing? Is it really you?"

Meeting an old classmate here after many years, both of them were very excited.

Hu Xiaoyan grabbed Shen Jingjing and looked her up and down: "Oh my, I recognized you the moment I glanced at you, but I didn't dare to confirm. What's going on with you? Did you eat preservatives? How are you still so young?"

"Young? I'm old." Shen Jingjing said with a smile, also looking at Hu Xiaoyan's appearance with concern: "You really haven't changed at all; you're exactly the same as when we were little."

"Forget it, I'm the one who's old and fat."

The two had been classmates since elementary school until Shen Jingjing dropped out in middle school. Later, Shen Jingjing left Funan for Shengang, and after that, the two had never met again.

Because every time Shen Jingjing came back, it was in a rush, and she hadn't made anything of herself outside, so she didn't take the initiative to meet friends and classmates from her hometown.

Hu Xiaoyan was indeed more plump than when she was little. Judging by her attire, she should be doing quite well.

"Jingjing, let me introduce you. My husband, you can just call him Old Duan." Hu Xiaoyan took the initiative to pull the man beside her over to introduce him to Shen Jingjing.

Shen Jingjing looked at the other person and nodded: "Hello, Old Duan."

The other person also nodded politely. Hu Xiaoyan said to herself: "I also married away. Isn't it a coincidence? We both happened to come back at this time and met in this place. We must add each other on WeChat."

As she said this, she took out her phone to let Shen Jingjing add her, not stopping her sighing: "It's been thirty years since we last saw each other. It's a miracle we could still recognize each other. When we were little, we often went to school together. Later, you left suddenly, and there was no WeChat or anything back then, so we lost contact."

Shen Jingjing was also quite happy. When she was little in Longyang, she did have a few good childhood playmates, and Xiaoyan was one of them.

After adding the other person's WeChat, she said: "Added. Let's keep in touch often."

"This is your younger sister, right?" Hu Xiaoyan noticed Shen Yingying and Shen Ci on the side. When she looked at Shen Ci, her eyes lit up: "This is your daughter? She's really beautiful. You were beautiful when you were little too."

Shen Yingying also remembered Hu Xiaoyan. When she was little, she often ran behind her sister and her friends, so she smiled and greeted her: "Sister Xiaoyan."

Shen Ci also spoke up to greet her: "Hello, Auntie."

Hu Xiaoyan affectionately held Shen Jingjing's hand and asked: "How have you been all these years? I remember Auntie saying you went to Shengang. Have you been staying in Shengang the whole time? Has your husband come back?"

"I'm in Longcheng now, and I'm not married yet." Shen Jingjing said frankly.

Hu Xiaoyan was slightly stunned, subconsciously glanced at Shen Ci, and understood in her heart.

She didn't say anything, just nodded lightly: "You must have had a hard time all these years. Fortunately, the child has grown up. I see you're in a good state. You must be living quite well in Longcheng now, right?"

"Quite well. Things have been quite smooth these past two years."

"That's good." Hu Xiaoyan patted her hand, her eyes showing some relief. It was clear she was genuinely happy for Shen Jingjing.

Then, as if she suddenly thought of something, she exclaimed: "It's such a coincidence that we both came back at this time. We aren't here for the same thing, are we?"

Shen Jingjing blinked inexplicably, and then heard Hu Xiaoyan ask: "Did Meifeng ask you to come back?"

"He Meifeng?"

"Yeah, she's getting remarried!"

Hearing this, Shen Jingjing hurriedly shook her head to deny it: "No. For so many years, I haven't been in contact with classmates and friends from my hometown. You see, I haven't even been in contact with you, so how could I be in contact with her?"

"I came back this time to visit my father's grave. It's the twentieth anniversary."

Hu Xiaoyan immediately understood: "That's true. Look at my brain. But Jingjing, Meifeng doesn't know you're back. If she knew, she would definitely invite you. Do you want to go?"

Shen Jingjing hesitated for a moment and shook her head: "Forget it, I won't go."

Her relationship with He Meifeng was far less close than with Hu Xiaoyan. When He Meifeng was little, her family conditions were very good. Even back then, Shen Jingjing felt she couldn't get along with her; the other person always seemed high and mighty in her bones, looking down on others.

"You're really not going?" Hu Xiaoyan persuaded: "She has been living in Longyang all these years. Many of our elementary and middle school classmates are still in Longyang. They will definitely all go this time. If you go, you can see many people again. Aren't you curious about how everyone is doing now?"

To tell the truth, Shen Jingjing was quite curious. This was the common state of mind for most people.

But she still didn't plan to go.

When she wasn't doing well, she didn't see these people. Now that her conditions were better, if she went, she felt it would only invite disdain.

"I'm really not going. Don't tell them I'm back either; just pretend you don't know."

Hu Xiaoyan didn't force her. Seeing that she really wasn't going, she nodded: "Fine, then let's get in touch later to have a meal. It's really happy to see you."

After the two chatted for a few more sentences, Hu Xiaoyan left with Old Duan.

Watching her back, Shen Yingying couldn't help but say: "Sister Xiaoyan is the same as when she was little, still so boisterous."

Shen Jingjing smiled. Watching her mother's smile, Shen Ci knew that she and this plump Aunt Xiaoyan must have been good friends in the past.

"Mother, if there are friends you want to contact here, you can actually contact them." Shen Ci encouraged her mother.

Because as people grow older, they miss the people and things of the past more and more. She had lived a lifetime, and after passing forty, she herself always recalled things from her childhood.

But Shen Jingjing still shook her head: "Forget it. We haven't seen each other for so many years; I guess they've long lost their childhood appearance."

After Hu Xiaoyan and Old Duan walked out of the Longyang Hotel, Old Duan finally couldn't help but ask: "Your friend has a daughter without being married? An unwed birth?"

Hearing this, Hu Xiaoyan glared at him: "You're the only one with a mouth. Just understand it in your heart. If it weren't for encountering some bad things, who would want to be like this?"

"I'm telling you, Jingjing has had a really hard time. You don't know her family situation. You always say our family favors boys over girls, but her family is much more serious than ours. I at least went to college, but she dropped out of middle school to go out and work to support her older brother and younger brother's studies. I don't know how much suffering she endured alone outside."

"She doesn't want to go to Meifeng's wedding, probably because she doesn't want to be asked questions left and right. Keep your mouth shut; you're not allowed to mention she's here, you know?"

Old Duan nodded understandingly: "Alright, I know. Looking at it this way, you have a better relationship with this Jingjing than with Meifeng."

"That's for sure. We played so well when we were little. Meifeng was so annoying when she was little; she often bullied us. It's just that we've grown up and don't care about those things anymore." **CHAPTER 805: Holding the Wedding Banquet Separately**
