Chapter 15
Chapter 15 I Stirred up My Classmate’s Wedding
***
After flying for more than 10 hours, Xia Feng and his colleagues arrived and was waiting for their luggage at the carousel.
They all turned on their phones and called home.
Xia Feng also turned his phone on and thought for a bit. It should be around 10:00 p.m. in China, and Yu Dong should be getting ready for work.
“Almost!” Yu Dong was currently standing on the balcony, her small figure looking a little lonely. She’d been staring off into the distance, reminded of the nights in her previous life.
The atmosphere now was the same as back then: When the hustle and bustle of the city falls, all she’s left with are the lights of other, warmer homes.
“What’s wrong?” Xia Feng thought Yu Dong’s voice felt a little subdued.
“Nothing?” Yu Dong looked up towards the stars, were there so few stars in Shanghai 10 years ago?
“The house just feels a little too big, the atmosphere doesn’t fit!” Yu Dong said.
Xia Feng was stunned. The house feels big? Is it because I’m not there? Yu Dong do you….miss me?
“You must be tired after such a long flight. Sleep early, I should be leaving now!” Yu Dong said.
“Alright, remember to message me after work.” Xia Feng warned.
“Alright!”
Yu Dong hung up the phone and was stunned. Is this the difference between 1 person living alone and 2 people living together? There will be someone who’ll be thinking of her, who’ll be waiting for her text.
“I just finished talking to my girlfriend too, but she didn’t care about me at all,she just told me to go to the duty-free shop and help her buy some things.” Li Qiguang complained.
Xia Feng didn’t say anything, he simply smiled.
“Are you buying something for your girlfriend too? Do you want to go look at the duty-free shop together?” Li Qiguang said cheerfully.
“Why are you buying it so early? Can’t you just buy it on the way back?” Xia Feng asked.
“No way! She said she used up all her facial masks so she’s waiting for me to buy and send some back.” Li Qiguang helplessly said, “Even thought you can just buy it in China and have it sent by freight.”
After listening, Xia Feng thought about it. He’ll be here for 3 months, can Yu Dong wait that long?
“We’ll go together then!” Xia Feng said.
So they entrusted their luggage to their other 3 colleagues and went to the duty-free shop together.
Li Qiguang skillfully pulled out his girlfriend’s list and took a basket, heading to the skincare counter.
Xia Feng saw this and smiled, it seems that women like preparing shopping lists for their boyfriends.
Opening his wallet, he took out his own list that was folded inside. When he unfolded it, the first line says: Can you please buy the following items once a day, so you’ll think of me everyday!
……
Today was the engagement party of Ren Xinxin, a good friend of Yu Dong during university. She missed the party in her previous life, but this time she was determined to attend it.
“Have you come down? I’m nearing the gates of your complex.” Xiang Xiaoyue said over the phone.
“I’ll come down now!”
Today was the weekend and the gardens were lively. Yu Dong walked elegantly on high-heeled shoes, perfectly highlighting the beautiful environment. The people around her were healed, after all, aesthetically pleasing things always make people happy.
“Totally right!” Xiang Xiaoyue proudly said, “We were the 3 golden flowers of the broadcasting and hosting major. Today we’re going to shock the entire party!”
Soon the car arrived at its destination.
An upscale winery in the suburbs of Shanghai!
“I never knew Xinxin’s family was so well-off!” Xiang Xiaoyue, who was accustomed to such high-class places still couldn’t help but marvel at the winery’s beautiful landscape.
“It’s probably her husband!” Yu Dong looked at the photo of Ren Xinxin and her fiancee. The man, Lu Xuan, looked arrogant. She’d only met him a few times in her previous life.
“Hm, he passes my visual inspection!” Xiang Xiaoyue said as she looked at the photo.
“In what way does he pass?”
“His charisma!”
“Don’t you think he has the face of a scum?” Yu Dong’s tone was peculiar.
“Hey, don’t say that!” Xiaoyue frowned and said, “This is Xinxin’s fiancee!”
Yu Dong’s gaze became heavy as she thought of a few parties she attended in her previous life. She would always see Lu Xuan with a different female companion. Once he even recognized her as Xinxin’s classmate and raised a glass towards her with a smile.
“Let’s go find Xinxin!” Looking at the white roses decorating the venue, Yu Dong couldn’t help but feel the irony.
“What kind of background can they have? They’re recent college graduates!”
“Alan, do you want to try?” The man turned around and asked another friend of his.
“Hello beautiful ladies!” The man stood in front of them and smiled, “I’m Lin Huiyuan, the Director of Marketing in Huiyuan Group.”
“Huiyuan Group? Your name is Lin Huiyuan? Are you the boss of Huiyuan Group?” Xiaoyue asked doubtfully.
Lui Huiyuan simply smiled, he just needed to say his name and people would make wild guesses themselves.
“He’s not the boss, he’s just a young master. If it wasn’t for his father, how can he still be the director?” Yu Dong knew what they wanted as soon as they approached.
Alan raised his eyebrows in surprise.
“Beautiful woman, how can you quiestion my virtue like this?” Lin Huiyuan became unhappy.
“I happened to meet Miss Qin at the entrance.” Yu Dong laughs, “If you talk to us again, I’m thinking that any future collaboration you have with the Qin family might just disappear into thin air.”
(T/N the above sentence is totally wrong, but MTL isn’t giving me jack.
“我刚刚在门口碰见秦园园小姐了。”于冬笑道,“你要是再和我说话,估计你们和秦氏合作的度假村就要黄了。”)
Alan was also stunned.
“Let’s go!” Yu Dong pulled Xiaoyue away.
“What did you mean by that? Who’s Miss Qin?” asked Xiaoyue
“Qin is his fiancee! ”
“Damn! How dare he try to turn me into a scummy mistress?”
“Are you finally admitting you;re a slag?” Yu Dong raised an eyebrow.
Lu Xuan raised an eyebrow, he didn’t think Ren Xinxin’s friends would be so fierce.
After a while, the 2 women reached the dressing room and Xiaoyue directly pushed the door open, excitedly shouting: “Xinxin we’re here!”
Ren Xinxin was surprised, her red-rimmed eyes trained at Xiang Xiaoyue.
When Yu Dong saw Ren Xinxin’s miserable expression, her face darkened, sure enough!
“What’s wrong?” Xiaoyue frowned.
“Nothing?” RenXinxin quickly wiped away her tears and smiled, “You’ve come. Both of you look so beautiful today.”
“Don’t try to change the subject. What’s going on?” Xiaoyue said angrily.
“It’s fine! My mother just came by and said a few things, I couldn’t help crying.” Ren Xinxin said.
“Oh…I guess aunt is reluctant to part with you.” Xiang Xiaoyue thought this was the case and started to comfort ther, “But it’s OK, you’re only getting engaged. Marriage is a ways later.”
“Un.” Ren Xinxin nodded with a smile.
“Was it really aunt that made you cry?”Yu Dong stepped forward, picking up an orange to peel casually. She tentatively continued, “I saw Lu Xuan at a bar last night. There were several beautiful women hanging off him!”
“What?” Xiang Xiaoyue was shocked.
“Maybe…it was just a bachelor party!” Ren Xinxin said sadly.
“Later, I happened to pass by an open room and…” Yu Dong lowered her voice and whispered, “3P!”
“No way!” Xiaoyue looked at Yu Dong incredulously, “Why didn’t you kick his ass!”
“I didn’t know he was Xinxin’s fiancee until I saw the photo today!” Yu Dong looked at them innocently.
Ren Xinxin bit her lip, but her tears finally fell.
Xiang Xiaoyue looked outraged, while Xinxin stayed silent as she cried. Xinxin from the very beginning always felt like the type of person who wouldn’t resist even when she’s being bullied.
“You’re not getting married!” Xiaoyue shouted, “Let that scum man die!”
“I am pregnant with Lu Xuan’s child!”
“….”Yu Dong and Xiang Xiaoyue looked at each other. Yu Dong just looked shocked, but Xiang Xiaoyue looked like she was about to explode.
“You’re pregnant and he’s still doing this to you!”
“That day, mother Lu asked me to give Lu Xuan something. When I arrived at Lu Xuan’s apartment, I found him drunk. Then…” Ren Xinxin sobbed, “When he woke up, he said I seduced him and said I had no choice but to marry him!”
“Bastard!” Xiang Xiaoyue looked seconds away from running out and committing real life PK.
(T/N a gaming term, short for Player Killer)
Ren Xinxin nodded and said, “Our 2 families have been neighbors since we were children. Mother Lu always doted on me, but when father Lu’s business became more successful….she still likes me but my relationship with Lu Xuan wasn’t as close as back then. He started to say that I was only interested in his family’s money. But I don’t care about all that, while my family isn’t rich and noble, we weren’t unsatisfied…
“Earlier he came in and told me to give birth to the baby and stay at home. He said when we get married I should just take care of his mother!” Ren Xinxin recalled Lu Xuan’s cold eyes and became frightened, shouting, “Xiaoyue Dong Dong, I don’t want to get married, I don’t want to get married like this!”
“Then we won’t!” Xiang Xiaoyue embraced Ren Xinxin like a fierce mother.
If things had continued this way, Ren Xinxin will commit suicide in 2 years.
“Miss Ren, the ceremony is about to begin!” A staff member knocked and urged them.
“Xinxin, I’ll take you away!”
Yu Dong looked at the nervous and frightened Ren Xinxin and said, “If you don’t want to get engaged and don’t want to be that Lu Xuan’s woman, you have to face him and firmly reject him! Escaping would only make you look like an unscrupulous woman.”
“I…” Xinxin timidly looked at the floor.
“Xinxin, people have to make decisions for themselves!” Yu Dong said.
The emcee saw Ren Xinxin and shouted, “Our heroine has finally arrived.”
Suddenly, all the guests applauded.
Ren Xinxin took a deep breath and stepped on the stage, standing opposite Lu Xuan.
The emcee then said, “What a lovely woman! Now why don’t we listen to their love story? Who want’s to talk first?”
“I’ll go first!” Ren Xinxin suddenly said.
Happy laughter burst from under the stage, and Lu Xuan looked at Ren Xinxin with a hint of mockery.
Ren Xinxin’s heart finally broke completely. She took the microphone from the emcee and said, “Lu Xuan, we’ve known each other for almost 20 years, my earliest memories had always included you but today …”
A sarcastic smile appeared in Lu Xuan’s face as he listened to Ren Xinxin.
“Let’s break up!” Ren Xinxin laughed with tears in her eyes.
“Wow!” The crowd was shocked and became a mess.
“You!” Lu Xuan grabbed Ren Xinxin and frowned. “Did you this intentionally?”
Yu Dong and Xiang Xiaoyue flew up the stage like arrows. One pulled Ren Xinxin away while another blocked Lu Xuan.
Looking at Lu Xuan’s angry face, Yu Dong said, “Mr. Lu, for the first time in your life, let yourself be dumped by a woman. Keep your composure!”
The 3 people then left, and soon the news of LU Group’s heir being publicly abandoned by their fiancee caused a buzz in the news for several days.
So when Xia Feng sent an e-mail innocently asking what she had been doing recently, Yu Dong honestly answered:
