Chapter 1407

The entire private room was silent.

Wait, this great beauty in front of them, along with the boyfriend beside her whom they couldn't take their eyes off of to look at closely—could it be...

"Song Tan! You're here!"

At this moment, Huo Xueying felt the shocked gazes of everyone and felt that her own vanity was greatly satisfied—who could understand! Such a beauty was her wife... ah no, her good friend!

So proud!

Her entire face was written with showing off. At this moment, she trotted all the way to the door, specifically went around Lu Chuan to the other side to hook her arm into Song Tan's, and whispered: "I thought you would wear a dress!"

"But wearing it like this is so cold and high-end! You look so expensive, and yet so calm and effortless..."

All of her literary talent had clearly been returned to her teachers; at this moment, she was using adjectives in a messy way, but in short, she was also stunned.

Song Tan also tilted her head slightly to accommodate their height difference: "Then do you feel satisfied?"

Her jet-black, smooth hair slid onto her shoulder. She stared at it silently for a while, and her mind was left with nothing but nodding.

Zheng Qu, who was ignored in the crowd in the distance:...

Who can understand the feeling of a girlfriend fawning over her female classmate?

But at this moment, everyone clearly finally came back to their senses, followed by a burst of exclamations:

"Song Tan?! Ahhh, why are you so beautiful!"

"Class beauty! Class beauty! We were blind back then! How could we think you were just a mere class beauty!"

"Song Tan! Ahhh, so beautiful! I'm going to post this on my social media later!!!"

"Oh my god, oh my god! Is this your boyfriend? Wuwuwu, why did you bring him here? I feel like my boyfriend is just a crooked melon or a cracked date..."

"Hey! Your crooked melon and cracked date is still here, okay?! What kind of eyes did you have back then, just casually telling me she looked 'pretty good'... is this the standard for 'pretty good' in your house!"

"I don't care, I don't care! Where can I claim a boyfriend like this! This believer is willing to sacrifice an ex-boyfriend!"

"I'm different, I want a beauty like this! I'm willing to eat only vegetables for the rest of my life to trade for a beauty like this!"

"..."

In the end, Zheng Qu stood up: "Alright, alright! Song Tan traveled thousands of miles to bring her boyfriend to the gathering, don't scare them as soon as you come up."

"Hurry up and sit down, we'll be ready to order the food in a bit... Song Tan, you and Lu Chuan should order a few dishes too."

Huo Xueying volunteered: "I'll do it, I'll do it! I know what Song Tan doesn't like to eat!"

Hee hee, she definitely doesn't like to eat anything, she understands!

At this moment, she sat down next to Song Tan. On one side, several girls were chatting quietly at a casual table nearby. Huo Xueying flipped through the menu while keenly capturing a few keywords—

"... pursuing... Yuan Jiawen... Song Tan..."

Good heavens!

She sat up straight instantly, her gaze scanning the whole room, and soon found Yuan Jiawen's location. Sure enough, she saw the man who had been putting on an act just now looking down at his phone, not participating in the excited crowd's topic at all.

Pfft! Boring!

Looking at his car keys on the turntable again, Huo Xueying's heart stirred, and she took the initiative to move to the small table on the side:

"Hello everyone, I'm Song Tan's friend. Is Yuan Jiawen, whom you mentioned earlier, always like this?"

It's simply too easy for girls to bridge a topic, so everyone quickly accepted her and then started gossiping:

"He wasn't that obvious before, right? It seems like after losing face in school because of that incident, he quickly started dating someone from another school..."

"I know! My friend is in the same company as him! Don't look at him showing off his car; it's actually just a standard low-end version, the total price is only twenty-something..."

"Actually..." someone said hesitantly: "Twenty-something isn't low, right? We only make a few thousand a month. If he has the money to buy a car, the financial pressure will be much less when getting married and living life in the future."

Huo Xueying:???

Soon the girl opposite her solved the mystery for her: "It's definitely hard for us to save 200,000, but there's no need to show off like this, right? He's practically sticking the receipt on his face."

"And listen to what he said just now, it's like it's a huge loss for Song Tan not to be with him, and it's too late to regret it now... what a lunatic."

"Exactly! Song Tan is so beautiful, who would want him? A crooked melon and a cracked date."

"He doesn't even look at what Song Tan's boyfriend looks like..."

"Exactly!" Huo Xueying agreed deeply!

The girl who sighed looked slightly disappointed: "I didn't mean that, it's just, it's just that I'm getting married recently, house renovation, mortgage, wedding... it's too hard for the two of us, so I just sighed."

"Because of money, we've already argued so many times... several times in the middle of the night we almost canceled the wedding."

A poor couple has a hundred sorrows; everyone is an ordinary person, and at this moment, they could empathize quite well, so someone turned to comfort her: "That's true, even if Yuan Jiawen isn't great, he still has some money. If Song Tan were with him..."

Huo Xueying:??? What are you saying?!

Comforting someone is one thing, but is this how you comfort them?

She flipped through her phone to confirm the data, then also pretended to sigh: "It's okay... Song Tan's own career is doing quite well, she probably isn't considering marriage for the time being, so she doesn't have this trouble."

"It's fortunate that she was single-mindedly enriching herself back then, otherwise if she had really found a boyfriend like Yuan Jiawen, one car wouldn't even be enough to buy one piece of jewelry on her body. How hard would that life be!"

Casually saying these words, Huo Xueying felt dazed as if money wasn't money, but the shocked expressions of the girls opposite her at this moment made her proud again—

Don't try to pair just any stray cat or dog with our Tan Tan. With that great face of Lu Chuan's, how could anyone think that Yuan Jiawen had a fighting chance!

Absurd!

As a firm fan of the looks-based couple, she wished she could go to the parking lot and carry Lu Chuan's car into the private room!

And the girl opposite was already shocked: "I don't quite understand... that bracelet and necklace, are they that expensive?"

"It's okay," Huo Xueying tried hard to sound like she made hundreds of thousands a month: "It didn't even exceed a million in total. They're just little things worn daily; their merit is in being inconspicuous, nothing worth mentioning!"

Everyone:...

Silence was simply the saddest horn in their hearts.

【Didn't even exceed a million】 【Daily】 【Little things】 【Inconspicuous】...

Why don't you listen to what you're saying! And you're emphasizing 【Inconspicuous】, it's super conspicuous, okay?! It's just that against the backdrop of that face, everything else is relegated to a supporting role, only serving to set off the colors.

But if they were really that expensive, if any one of them were worn on them, they wouldn't know how much happier they would be! They would wish to have a bodyguard beside them to support them while walking.

In just one sentence, hurtful phrases came one after another. Finally, someone couldn't hold back and asked cautiously: "But how many ten-thousands is a million?"

Huo Xueying pretended to think: "It seems like 80-something. For the two of them, wouldn't it be about the same if they bought clothes two fewer times..."

When saying this, her own heart was also shedding tears of bitterness. Because when Song Tan sent that photo over, she asked for the links and prices from head to toe the first time, but Song Tan sent a receipt back, and her own position became as cold as a fish stall in a supermarket.

Besides sharpening her knives and hating the rich, she didn't know what kind of expression to put on.

This conversation became increasingly niche.

But the more niche it was, the more urgent everyone's gossiping heart became. Even while their hearts were being stimulated to the point of shedding tears, they couldn't help but continue to explore.

So someone quickly asked again: "It's enough if she buys clothes two fewer times, how much is that outfit of hers? The style looks quite regular, I didn't see what brand it was."

Huo Xueying shook her head: "I don't know either, I only know the counter is on the top floor of the XX shopping mall, these two pieces are only a few tens of thousands."

Good heavens!

Song Tan's friend was still being conservative; what virtue or ability does Yuan Jiawen have! If she were really with him, that would simply be targeted precision poverty alleviation!

Everyone tacitly stopped mentioning this, but their hearts couldn't help but think of this bloody "don't bully the young for being poor" segment, while one by one they pretended to pick up their phones and type away.

Huo Xueying believed that in less than 10 minutes, everyone would know how successful Song Tan was now.

Hehe, goal achieved!

But she turned to look at the girl who was getting married and sitting thoughtfully to the side, and got another possibility:

After tonight, will someone come to borrow money from her?

Oh my!

Huo Xueying was instantly annoyed.

And at this dining table, after a short chat, everyone also noticed that compared to before, except for her appearance and temperament, Song Tan's personality hadn't changed at all.

She had always been like that.

Most of the time she was quiet, listening carefully to whatever the other person said, and if they said something wrong, she wouldn't mock them to their face.

The conflict with Yuan Jiawen that time was truly because she was pushed to the limit.

Thinking about it this way, how pitiful Song Tan was back then! Her living expenses were coaxed away by Yuan Jiawen! The key was that the guy took the initiative to pursue the girl, and after she transferred money to him, he didn't return it!

Even after they argued in public, he still didn't return it!

Recalling the past, everyone also drifted their gazes over intentionally or unintentionally.

Especially the group of boys; they were even more gossipy than the girls.

Yuan Jiawen naturally felt it too, but he was excluded from a lot of news, so naturally, he didn't know about the net worth Huo Xueying had shown for Song Tan.

So when the turntable keys were far away, he said "Oh my": "I was just saying why I couldn't find my car keys, I thought I lost them somewhere again... turns out they were left on the display stand."

Everyone was truly speechless.

That thing was so conspicuous, and there was only this one thing on such a large dining table, what could you not find?

It wasn't even certain who started the turntable!

But they were all classmates, so no one had the heart to expose him. So they watched as Yuan Jiawen waited for the car keys to turn in front of him, and then leisurely put them back into his pocket...

In just these few dozen seconds, everyone felt so embarrassed for him that their toes were about to curl into the ground.

However, the culprit didn't notice at all, and instead took the initiative to ask: "By the way, class beauty, you're dressed so beautifully, how did you get here?"

Song Tan also almost laughed out loud.

Honestly, after spending more time with someone like Lu Chuan, looking at some former classmates, the fact that she didn't laugh out loud on the spot was already giving them face.

From thoughts to actions, it could only be described with the big word 【Childish】.

But childishness also had good intentions and malicious ones, so she also pretended to be surprised at this moment:

"Is it dressed very beautifully? Isn't this just very daily clothing? Lu Chuan told me to buy a dress. But after all, I don't live in Ningcheng, and I'm not very familiar with shopping here, so I just came in ordinary clothes."

Lu Chuan listened with a smile on the side, not interfering with her home field, but at this moment he couldn't help but glance at her, thinking to himself that he didn't know who the person in the live broadcast room wearing a windbreaker and cargo pants every day was!

Last year, the shoes on her feet wouldn't have cost more than 100 yuan.

But no man would be stupid enough to tear down his girlfriend's stage, so he chimed in: "Indeed, I was afraid that everyone would be dressed very beautifully at the class reunion, and that she would look like she didn't value the gathering if she wore something too ordinary. But Tan Tan said that everyone has a very good relationship and wouldn't mind this, so let's be casual."

"As for how we came... to be honest, the evening rush hour in Ningcheng is a bit congested, so we were delayed on the road for quite a while driving here."

He sat there with his shoulders level and back straight, his voice soothing and his demeanor natural, making the old classmates beside him who were either gaining weight or hunched over with poor posture look like unwanted Chinese cabbage in the field.

Combined with this natural spirit, no one didn't believe his words.

Only Yuan Jiawen insisted on his own way, pulling his belt up and smoothing his sleeves: "The air conditioning is a bit hot, this is the only bad thing about this brand of clothes, they're made too thick..."

Lu Chuan remained calm: "Then I'll recommend one to you, the XX counter on the top floor of the XX shopping mall. Their new products are quite good, and Tan Tan and I are used to wearing that brand. The fabric is comfortable, and you won't find yourself too cold or too hot in an air-conditioned room... By the way, do you need a new product catalog? I'll have the store manager send it to you every month, just choose what you want and have them send it to your home."

When he said this at the end, his tone rose slightly, but unless you were an acquaintance, you wouldn't notice it.

Song Tan glanced at him, thinking to herself that Lu Chuan wouldn't be able to hold back his laughter, would he?

In fact, he really almost couldn't.

After all, he hadn't pretended like this for many years, but it had to be said that human nature was just like this; looking at the dumbfounded expressions opposite him, he felt a bit refreshed inside.

The people in front of them were clearly stunned.

Men were mostly a bit slow when it came to brands; if you really asked them, they could probably only name a few well-known ones. But how developed the internet is these days! You only need to search on a map or software...

emmmm...

Everyone stared at the prices posted on the online platform—the black knit sweater Song Tan was wearing, they admitted it was indeed beautiful, making her figure look flawless, slender and graceful, and the fabric also seemed to have a sense of luster...

But, everyone thought it was because a great beauty looked good even in a burlap sack!

Didn't expect this burlap sack to cost over ten thousand!

And that plain white shirt on Lu Chuan... office workers have several similar ones in their closets! How dare they ask for a five-figure price!

Why did this broken, poor world happen to descend upon them?
