Chapter 26

Lin Ruxue sat in the car, and Li Yi, of course, did not drive recklessly as he usually did, but drove very steadily. The BMW slowly left the apartment complex and headed towards the commercial street.

"Your classmates are all quite wealthy, going to the Jiu Zhou Grand Hotel for a class reunion," Li Yi said as he drove.

"Yes, you know my aunt is an architecture major..."

"Stop, wife, if you keep saying 'your aunt, your aunt,' we'll be exposed. You need to change your words immediately."

Lin Ruxue thought it made sense. After all, letting this guy have a little advantage was nothing; she could always get it back later. So she blushed and changed her words: "You know, your wife is an architecture major..."

"Right, keep going like that."

Lin Ruxue gave Li Yi a glare and continued, "The architecture industry makes money quickly. I've been out of school for so many years, and several of my classmates have become small bosses. They have a lot of money, sigh!"

She couldn't help but think back to her school days. Back then, she was always the top student in her grade, a recipient of the top scholarship, admired by everyone. In terms of professional knowledge, no one could match her, but what good was it now?

Life is always full of unexpected things.

"Wife, don't be sad. You've married a good husband, and soon you'll find out that those people's money is less than your pocket money," Li Yi squeezed Lin Ruxue's hand and smiled slightly.

"You're being cocky again. Why do I feel like you're asking for a beating today!" Lin Ruxue frowned slightly, a bit doubtful about whether today's decision was right.

"Wife, your attitude is wrong again. You should respect your husband. When I make a promise to you, you should look at me with shining eyes and say in a deep, affectionate tone, 'Husband, you're so great, I like you so much!'"

"Ugh!" Lin Ruxue clutched her chest, making a disgusted face.

"Don't throw up, come on, practice."

"Get lost, go practice with your mom at home!" Lin Ruxue glared at him, putting on an elder's demeanor.

Li Yi chuckled, "My mom won't practice with me, only you can. Come on, wife, say it again."

...

Li Yi had a thick skin and kept joking with Lin Ruxue. Before long, Lin Ruxue's gloomy mood gradually brightened up.

They arrived at the most luxurious Jiu Zhou Grand Hotel in the city.

Li Yi parked the car in the parking lot, hanging a cat on his shoulder, and took the elevator from the underground garage with Lin Ruxue. As soon as the elevator reached the first floor, a fashionably dressed woman pulled a short, fat man and squeezed in.

"Hey, Lin Ruxue?" The woman immediately exclaimed in surprise when she saw Lin Ruxue.

"Suo Wen Yue?" Lin Ruxue also raised her eyebrows.

There weren't many female architecture students, so they were quite close to each other, but Suo Wen Yue was definitely an exception.

Suo Wen Yue always thought she was a rare beauty in the world. She did look good, but unfortunately, Lin Ruxue was too dazzling, taking all the attention that should have been hers.

Suo Wen Yue once liked a boy, but he ignored her and confessed to Lin Ruxue. The result was that Lin Ruxue threw the roses the boy gave her into the trash can, and Suo Wen Yue and the boy never became a couple.

Because of this, Suo Wen Yue hated Lin Ruxue even more, who was as beautiful as a fairy but considered herself too high and mighty.

In school, she often spoke ill of Lin Ruxue behind her back. In recent years, hearing rumors that Lin Ruxue had been involved in various scandals with different bosses, she would say smugly, "I knew she was this kind of trash!"

Seeing Lin Ruxue now, Suo Wen Yue immediately puffed out her chest, put on a haughty air, and sized her up from head to toe.

Lin Ruxue, however, smiled slightly and made no other move. Although they didn't get along in school, it had been so many years since graduation, and she didn't want to dwell on past grievances.

"Wow, haven't seen you in years, you're still so beautiful!" Suo Wen Yue, knowing Lin Ruxue lacked confidence, tried to provoke a conflict.

"You too," Lin Ruxue replied politely.

"Your shoes are so pretty, what brand are they?" Suo Wen Yue asked smugly.

Lin Ruxue was immediately embarrassed because her shoes were a cheap brand, costing only 100 yuan. Suo Wen Yue, dressed in glittering jewelry, was clearly married to a rich man. By asking about her shoes, she clearly wanted to make her feel awkward.

"Wow, why aren't you saying anything? Come on, tell me, I want to buy a pair too!" Suo Wen Yue, seeing that Lin Ruxue didn't answer, knew she had hit a sore spot and looked even more smug.

"My shoes..." Lin Ruxue's lips trembled, feeling extremely embarrassed.

At this moment, how could she admit that these shoes were just a 100-yuan street market purchase?

"Wife, tell her. Although your classmate clearly doesn't understand fashion or trends, you can still educate her a bit," Li Yi suddenly joined in, smiling at Suo Wen Yue.

Suo Wen Yue was instantly furious.

I don't understand fashion or trends? Do you know what I'm wearing?

This is Chanel! A French brand!

"You don't talk nonsense!" Lin Ruxue pinched Li Yi, but seeing Suo Wen Yue's flustered expression, she secretly found it amusing.

"I don't want to talk, but your classmate's taste is so poor. We still need to remind her. Otherwise, it's fine in front of us, but in front of others, it's embarrassing," Li Yi continued loudly.

Suo Wen Yue couldn't hold back any longer and screeched, "I'm embarrassing? Do you know what I'm wearing?"

"Of course, Chanel!" Li Yi raised his eyebrows disdainfully.

He had already gathered all the information about Earth from the internet yesterday, so recognizing a fashion brand was no big deal.

Li Yi lifted his head high, adopting a condescending tone: "Unfortunately, it's last year's old model, completely outdated this year.

Take your top, for example, a mid-range product worth 8,888 yuan. I guess you bought it on sale. This product comes in red and black. Actually, red would suit you better because your face is dark, and black doesn't suit you, but you bought black and paired it with these pants!

Oh, do you know how bad this combination is? Although they are both Chanel, their styles don't match at all! These pants should be paired with sky blue or dark blue tops. This combination makes you look ten years older. If you hadn't greeted my Xue Xue, I would have called you grandma!"

Suo Wen Yue was first stunned, then her face turned bright red.

Her top was indeed bought last year. The salesperson had said the red one would suit her better, but didn't explicitly say it was because her face was dark. She didn't buy the red one because it wasn't on sale, while the black one was.

As for the pants, she bought them on sale, and the salesperson had mentioned that they went well with dark blue clothes...

Anger, shame, and frustration surged in Suo Wen Yue's heart, but she had nowhere to vent. She couldn't help turning to the short, fat man and shouting, "I will definitely buy the latest Chanel this year, no discounts!"

The short, fat man, not expecting his wife to bring trouble upon herself and then take it out on him, immediately retorted, "You just know how to buy clothes and play mahjong. Can't you do something useful?"

"Weng Xingguo, if you don't buy me clothes, I won't let it go!" Suo Wen Yue's voice rose another octave.

"Actually, you don't need to worry too much. The current appreciation level of the Chinese is quite low. They won't notice the problem with your outfit. When they see you wearing Chanel, they'll look up to you even more!" Li Yi chimed in, trying to smooth things over.

Unfortunately, Li Yi's words only made Suo Wen Yue feel more embarrassed and offended. She couldn't help asking Lin Ruxue, "Who is this?"

"Oh, my husband, Li Yi!" Lin Ruxue smiled, secretly feeling satisfied at Suo Wen Yue's discomfort.

I didn't expect this little rascal to have some skills, almost fooling me too!

"You're married?" Suo Wen Yue was somewhat surprised.

According to the rumors she had gathered from various sources, Lin Ruxue was played by various bosses after graduation and then abandoned, living alone and growing old.

How did she suddenly get married? And to a handsome young man?

This is too unbelievable!

"Oh, why didn't you tell me you were getting married? I didn't even attend your wedding!" Suo Wen Yue said insincerely.

"Oh, we got married abroad. We thought it would be hard for ordinary people to travel abroad, so we didn't send out invitations. When we have some free time, we'll have a wedding banquet in the country and definitely invite you," Li Yi interjected.

Lin Ruxue, who was originally quite happy, felt a bit dizzy upon hearing this!

This brat is really exaggerating. A wedding banquet? How will we explain it later?

Suo Wen Yue, however, looked at Li Yi with suspicion.

"Ordinary people," what kind of way to speak is this? Are you not an ordinary person, but a big shot?

"Ruxue, what does your husband do? Is he in the fashion industry?" Suo Wen Yue asked.

From her perspective, Li Yi had immediately spotted the problems with her outfit, so he must be in a related field.

"He... he..." Lin Ruxue hesitated, giving Li Yi a glare.

You're exaggerating so much, how can I explain to people?
