Chapter 741: High School Reunion. Just Shopping Around
The passersby could not help pausing their steps to turn for a glance at Qin Yirou when they heard the woman saying that she was getting married for the second time with a finger pointed to the latter.
No matter the era, people who were getting married a second time would become the talk of others. Qin Yirou at her current age, especially, was not exempted from stares and thoughts by those who passed by now that the woman was standing out in the open with a finger at her announcing that she was getting married again.
If an acquaintance heard it by accident and spread the word, an auspicious occasion would be made out to be a bad one as rumors went around.
“Yang Weiting, enough! You were already the scandalmonger when we were in high school. What does Yirou’s business have to do with you?” Before the woman finished, Dong Ruan countered her in front of everyone with a frown.
Compared to herself when she was in high school, Dong Ruan was now more mature but a person’s personality would hardly change. When someone spoke ill about Qin Yirou, she stepped up to defend her like always.
Qin Yirou had a meeker character. The only reason she was not bullied by troublemaker-girls in class during high school was because of Dong Ruan. The latter was an alpha woman. Being a high-ranking official now, she was certainly capable of making it to where she was today.
The woman addressed as Yang Weiting had not been agreeable with Dong Ruan since they were in high school.
Although Qin Yirou was a little plumper now and looked much older due to her hard work, she had been a popular girl in school for her looks back when they were all in high school. During that time, at least, she was a natural beauty.
It was just that she dropped out of school later on and was arranged to marry Yun Gang by her mother, thus falling into the unfortunate first half of her life. If it were not for Yun Jian and Yun Yi’s encouragement, perhaps Qin Yirou would not dare ask for a divorce with Yun Gang to this day.
“Alright, alright, it’s not like I’m that free to poke my nose into your business. Hah, it’s a high school reunion and we kindly invited you all for a karaoke session in the afternoon but the two of you can’t even be bothered! Is that not rude!?” Yang Weiting was relentless.
Going on, Yang Weiting did not wait for Dong Ruan’s retort and turned to ask their friends, “Isn’t that right, guys? I’m right, don’t you think so?”
Yang Weiting had done an excellent job in maintaining herself and had various makeup lathered and caked on her face. When they had lunch during the gathering earlier, she did not shy away from boasting her husband’s status either.
Yang Weiting’s husband was the manager of a plastic processing factory in Longmen City and had over millions of yuan worth in assets.
After listening to Yang Weiting’s exaggerated brag earlier, the old classmates could not help sucking up to her now hearing what she said. All of them thought that it was better to pander to Yang Weiting than Qin Yirou who came from a farming village.
“Yang Weiting, you’re damn right!” A fat middle-aged man with a round beer belly spoke up to agree with the woman’s sentiment. As he spoke, he turned to scold Qin Yirou, “It’s our high school reunion today but both of you left so early. If you really have something up, we wouldn’t say anything, but both of you can make it clear earlier if you’d rather just shop around than to spend time with us! It’s not like we need two of you! Hah, it’d been a great gathering but look, you must be happy now upsetting all of us huh!”
The more the middle-aged man spoke, the further he went off track and the more ridiculous he sounded.
Qin Yirou had planned it a long time ago and was set to decide on her wedding gown today. Yet, something as important as picking out her wedding dress was called “just shop around” by the man.
