Chapter 414: Chapter 409: Scheming Classmates (Part 2)
[When Ning Tong saw your appearance, she felt a bit complex inside. She thought you were her perfect other half, just a bit poor. After seeing you, her favorable impression of her husbandās appearance decreased by five percent]
...
The incident happened in an instant. Su Qing was paying attention to the voiceover in his head; it wasnāt just these two people, but some other classmates around who had ulterior motives. The voiceover gave hints.
For a moment, the voiceover in his head had the most outbursts it ever had, making his head start to ache.
"Hahaha, Old Su, Old Wang, youāre here. Long time no see!" Zhang Chao quickly came forward, opening his arms in greeting.
"Old Zhang, congratulations, congratulations, long time no see!"
Hearing this, the two stepped forward and hugged Zhang Chao.
Having entered society, everyone has become a person for public occasions, wearing so-called fake masks.
[What are you pretending for? Youāre dressing so gaudily at my wedding, arenāt you? Indeed, people flaunt what theyāre lacking the most. Iāve married the person you liked, so what can you do? Blame yourself for being a poor bastard!]
Hugging Zhang Chao, the voiceover hinted at his inner thoughts. Su Qiong couldnāt help but sigh; indeed, people can be quite disgusting.
This is the bad part of having a voiceover; a good mood can vanish just like that.
"By the way, Old Su, why are you here alone? Whereās your partner? Why didnāt she come with you?" Zhang Chao asked in a tone of nostalgic old classmates.
[Probably thinks his girlfriend isnāt presentable, right? You deserve nothing more than that kind of dinosaur!]
Su Qing: ...
Fine, itās your wedding today, as long as youāre happy. Hope you manage your mouth well, just enjoy it in your heart for now.
"She had something coming up last minute. Iāll see in a moment. If sheās free, Iāll have her come over," Su Qing replied with a smile.
"Alright, ask her over, letās meet her. Maybe next time weāll be drinking at your wedding feast!" Zhang Chao patted his shoulder, laughing.
[Last-minute issue, hilarious... even a ghost wouldnāt believe that excuse!]
Watching the overt and covert exchange between the two, Wang Xing couldnāt help but chuckle coldly on the side, thinking they really are feeling good about themselves. Wait till Boss Shen shows up and scares you all.
Others couldnāt detect the back-and-forth between the two, but he of course knew, increasingly finding Zhang Chao to be somewhat pretentious.
"Su Qing, long time no see!" Ning Tong, as todayās bride, naturally came out to greet everyone.
Looking at Ning Tong in a bright white wedding dress, radiant as ever, Su Qing couldnāt help but smile and say, "Wow, the bride looks really beautiful today."
"Youāve changed quite a bit too, come and sit!"
After saying that, he and Wang Xing sat down, and a group of high school classmates started exchanging greetings.
"Oh, I havenāt seen you for years, what have you been up to lately?"
š³šš²šš ššš»š¼š§š²š„.ššš¦
"In the capital, the capitalās good, high salary."
"Do you still remember our high school homeroom teacher? I saw him a few months ago, still the same!"
"I havenāt done much lately, preparing for the civil service exam, busy with extra classes."
He and Wang Xing joined their high school classmates in starting a round of greeting and small talk, with Zhang Chao and Ning Tong also present.
There was still some time before the event began, and everyone started chatting about their recent situations, all appearing to be a harmonious scene until Ning Tong opened her mouth to ask:
"By the way Su Qing, youāve changed so much over the years, what are you doing now?"
"Me? I havenāt found a satisfying job, just doing a little on my own, at least I can survive!" Su Qing replied with a smile.
He defined his job as a content creator for short form media, and he was too lazy to mention his two legitimate jobs.
But his silence didnāt mean that Wang Xing would keep quiet: "Qingzi is doing amazing things now, creating short videos on his own, and now heās an internet celebrity, Iām so envious!"
Hearing this, everyone became interested, asking about his account. He didnāt want to give it, but Wang Xing took his phone out and found his account.
"Look, this is Qingziās account, with over a million followers!"
Seeing him nod, everyone exclaimed, feeling itās as special as having someone they know publish a novel, constantly inquiring.
Even female classmates, who rarely spoke to him throughout the three years of high school, came over to ask a couple of questions.
Seeing his own wedding getting overshadowed by him, Zhang Chao started to secretly get annoyed.
He originally thought Su Qing might be working at some small company or factory, but unexpectedly, he turned out to be an internet celebrity.
With over a million followers, and the videos being quite popular, even several classmates present followed him.
Even if he wasnāt in this line of work, he knew that having that many short video followers definitely made a lot of money, and suddenly Zhang Chao felt a bit uncomfortable.
But the topic was initiated by his wife, so he couldnāt say anything because he knew that the only reason he could marry now was because of his familyās good conditions. Otherwise, he wouldnāt even have a job now. He couldnāt possibly drag his father into this mess, thatād be even more embarrassing.
And Ning Tong, seeing this, suddenly didnāt know why but felt somewhat lost.
She wasnāt regretting or liking Su Qing, but after comparing, she found that the man she chose is just mediocre.
Although Su Qing didnāt mention his income now, it certainly wasnāt small, plus his looks had improved greatly over the years, turning into a male god type. In contrast, her husband, while having good family conditions, lacks way too much in appearance.
