Chapter 807

After two glasses of wine, the two started chatting.

Hu Xiaoyan sighed and said: "We are all middle-aged now, not as simple as when we were little. Childhood feelings were simple, and thoughts were simple. We played with whoever we liked and stayed far away from whoever we didn't like."

"Now, we are all friends on the surface; no matter how much we look down on each other in our hearts, we still care about face. Because of her personality, Meifeng actually doesn't have much popularity. It was like that since we were in school, but everyone still has to go to her wedding this time. And the smaller the place like Longyang, the more it's like this; everyone sees each other every day."

Shen Jingjing nodded silently. She left home early and didn't have deep contact with the human relationships and social interactions in her hometown, but she could fully understand what Xiaoyan was saying.

At this time, two more people walked into the shop. Shen Jingjing and the other sat at a position not far from the door, and as soon as they looked up, they met eyes.

"Xiaoyan!"

Seeing Hu Xiaoyan, the other person greeted her and headed straight for them.

Hu Xiaoyan also stood up enthusiastically: "You're also running out to eat in the middle of the night?"

"I live nearby." While speaking, the other person subconsciously glanced at Shen Jingjing. Seeing she looked unfamiliar, she asked: "Is this your friend?"

"Can't recognize her anymore?" Hu Xiaoyan turned to ask Shen Jingjing: "Can you recognize her?"

Shen Jingjing also shook her head politely.

"Lin Shuang, from the class next door in elementary school, remember?"

Shen Jingjing still shook her head, because the memory was truly too distant.

Hu Xiaoyan gave up and looked at Lin Shuang: "Do you still have an impression of Shen Jingjing?"

As a result, the other person remembered her and nodded hurriedly: "I remember! Shen Mingming's younger sister, right!"

"You know my eldest brother?"

"Your eldest brother pursued me!" Lin Shuang answered readily, which stunned Shen Jingjing. Seeing this, Lin Shuang laughed: "I'm not lying to you. Ask Xiaoyan; she knows."

Hu Xiaoyan nodded: "It was a long, long time ago. At that time, Lin Shuang had just gotten together with Yu Zhiwen, otherwise she would have almost become your sister-in-law."

"That wouldn't have happened. Shen Mingming isn't the type I like."

Listening to Hu Xiaoyan's words, Shen Jingjing felt that the Yu Zhiwen she was talking about sounded familiar?

"Xiaoyan, did you just mention Yu Zhiwen?"

At her question, the expressions of Hu Xiaoyan and Lin Shuang were surprisingly consistent, both curling their lips in disgust. Hu Xiaoyan explained: "Didn't I just say it? Meifeng's husband for her remarriage is Yu Zhiwen!"

Shen Jingjing was dumbfounded.

But Lin Shuang seemed not to care at all, looking at Hu Xiaoyan and asking: "You came back this time just to attend their wedding, right?"

Hu Xiaoyan nodded.

"She even sent me an invitation." Lin Shuang sneered.

"Then are you going?"

"If he dares to send it, why wouldn't I dare to go? What do I have to be afraid of?"

"Aren't you angry?"

Lin Shuang sneered again: "What do I have to be angry about? He got married, he didn't strike it rich."

The sentence made both Hu Xiaoyan and Shen Jingjing laugh.

Lin Shuang waved her hand: "My friends are waiting for me over there. I'll go first. You two drink slowly."

After Lin Shuang left, Shen Jingjing said in a low voice: "So Lin Shuang is Yu Zhiwen's ex-girlfriend, and both Yu Zhiwen and He Meifeng are remarrying?"

"Yu Zhiwen didn't register his marriage with Lin Shuang. The two were together in a muddle for many years, then broke up, and then a few years later, he suddenly got together with Meifeng."

"In this small place, this little bit of news spread quickly, but there was no cheating or interference, so everyone didn't know what to say."

"I just feel Lin Shuang is quite a pity. She's over forty now and isn't married and has no children. Her best youth was wasted on Yu Zhiwen, and she didn't get anything."

Shen Jingjing sighed: "But I think she's quite carefree."

"What else can she do if she's not carefree?" Hu Xiaoyan sighed: "She says that, but actually Yu Zhiwen did strike it rich. Years ago, when he was with Lin Shuang, whatever he did didn't work and he kept losing money. Later, after he got together with He Meifeng, he suddenly got better, and now he's become a big boss."

"I reckon Yu Zhiwen's friends must say Lin Shuang doesn't bring prosperity to her husband, and Meifeng does. But everyone knows in their hearts that Yu Zhiwen's success today is all thanks to Meifeng's money and her family's connections."

"A phoenix man from a small town, and now he's holding a wedding with great fanfare..."

Hu Xiaoyan was a chatterbox. Once the topic was opened with the help of alcohol, she could talk endlessly.

Shen Jingjing was happy to be a listener. So many things she didn't know had happened in this small place over the years. Every time she heard familiar names and their stories, Shen Jingjing still found it quite curious.

The next day, He Meifeng really came.

"Auntie!" As soon as she entered the courtyard and saw the old lady sitting there, she greeted her enthusiastically: "I heard from Eldest Brother that Jingjing is back?"

"Xiaoyan, Meifeng is here." The old lady stood up with a smile, very polite to He Meifeng: "She's back, she's inside. Jingjing, Xiaoyan and Meifeng are here."

Shen Jingjing had heard the sound long ago and was walking out of the room.

Upon meeting, when He Meifeng saw Shen Jingjing, who was still beautiful and pretty, the look in her eyes clearly paused for a moment, but her face and body reacted first, greeting her enthusiastically: "Jingjing!"

Shen Jingjing also had a smile on her face: "Meifeng, long time no see."

Hu Xiaoyan also pretended she didn't know Shen Jingjing was back at all and greeted her.

"I heard from your eldest brother that you were back, and I wanted to come yesterday." He Meifeng held Shen Jingjing's hand, acting very close: "You too, it's been so many years and you didn't even say anything about keeping in touch with us."

Shen Jingjing said: "I haven't been back much, and there haven't been many opportunities. I received your invitation; I'll go then."

"You must come!" He Meifeng widened her eyes: "Although you left when you were very young, many old classmates still remember you. You're beautiful, so everyone remembers you."

As she said this, she entered the room. Shen Ci was sitting on the sofa, holding her phone and sending a message.

"Is this your daughter?" He Meifeng recognized her at a glance and praised her: "Too beautiful. She looks like a child from a big city, as beautiful as you were when you were young."

Shen Ci glanced at her mother inexplicably, but still greeted her politely: "Hello, Auntie."

"Hello, what's your name?"

"A-Ci."

"Oh, what a good name. This child is truly good—good appearance, good temperament."

Shen Jingjing knew her daughter didn't like dealing with irrelevant strangers, so she found an excuse to send her away and invited He Meifeng to sit down and chat.

He Meifeng looked Shen Jingjing up and down with her peripheral vision, and after sitting down, she asked: "Did you come back with just the child? Where's your husband?"

Shen Jingjing responded generously: "I'm not married; I don't have a husband for the time being."

With that, the breath in He Meifeng's chest smoothed out all at once: "Not married, or divorced?" **CHAPTER 808: She Knew It**
