Shen Xinyao covered her ring with her hand. The reason why she hid it earlier was that she did not want Yang Zhenzhen to spot it.
When they were classmates, she knew how much Yang Zhenzhen loved to compare with others. Hence, she quickly moved her hand under the table.
However, her hesitation turned into a guilty act in Yang Zhenzhen’s eyes. The more unwilling Shen Xinyao was to show her the ring, the more certain she was that the ring was a fake.
“Let me take a look at it. Who’s your boyfriend? Did he buy a few hundred counterfeit ring to trick you? We’re classmates after all. I’ve got your best interests at heart.”
Yang Zhenzhen’s hand remained outstretched, looking like she was not going to relent until Shen Xinyao showed her the ring.
Left with no choice, Shen Xinyao extended her hand out.
It was a white diamond of the highest quality and greatest brilliance. Furthermore, it was humongous.
In comparison, Yang Zhenzhen’s ring looked much smaller and duller.
“What kind of man is your boyfriend? Why did he give you a fake ring?” Yang Zhenzhen was certain that Shen Xinyao’s ring was fake. “Let me tell you this. My boyfriend is a department manager at JK Group. He usually interacts with the company’s executives.”
Glancing back at her ring, she continued, “He spent a month’s salary to buy me this ring.”
She was indirectly boasting about how her boyfriend earned an annual salary of a couple million.
“He even said that he had to socialize tonight. He’s going to dine with the President of JK Group. Oh, right. What does your boyfriend do for a living, Xinyao?”
“He…”
“You were so secretive with your relationship that we don’t even know you have a boyfriend. Now, you’re even getting married! Why didn’t you choose your partner more carefully? Marriage is a huge event of your lifetime. If you meet a scammer, won’t it be a huge loss for you? There’s a saying that marriage is a woman’s second reincarnation. The first is being born into this world. Although you can’t choose which family you’ll be born into, you can choose who you marry. It’s worrying that you’re going to marry a man who gave you a fake ring.”
Shen Xinyao pursed her lips. “I’ve been engaged to him since I was a child…”
“What? What era is this? Do arranged engagements still exist? Were you born in ancient times?” mocked Yang Zhenzhen as she covered her mouth.
“Yeah! We don’t do arranged engagements anymore here.” As the other classmate was close to Yang Zhenzhen, she naturally sided with her. After Yang Zhenzhen spoke for such a long time, she finally chimed in.
Shen Xinyao did not bother to explain to them. “I have something else to attend to, so I’ll take my leave first.”
Yang Zhenzhen held her back. “Why are you leaving? We’re ex-classmates, so let’s have a nice chat together. Oh, right. The desserts here are really delicious, just that they’re a little expensive. What would you like to eat? It’s my treat! You’re welcome.”
“Yao.” Zhuang Jiawen walked over, unable to bear it anymore.
Are these women from outer space? How can they ostracize someone like that?
Furthermore, she’s my fiancée. I can bully her, but no one else can!
Shen Xinyao stood up. “Why are you here?”
Zhuang Jiawen pulled her into his embrace. “I’m here to buy something.”
Then, he looked at Yang Zhenzhen. “What’s your boyfriend called?”
Smiling, she replied, “Dong Hao.”
He knew the company’s executives well. “There’s no such person in my company.”
He was telling the truth.
“You should check if he’s lying to you.” As he spoke, he took out a name card and placed it on the table. “This is my name card. And this lady here…”
Hugging Shen Xinyao tightly, he continued, “Is my fiancée, the future wife of JK Group’s president.”
With that, he walked out with Shen Xinyao, his arm still wrapped around her shoulders. When they passed by the cashier, the staff passed a bag of nicely packaged cakes to him. “Here are your cakes.”
Zhuang Jiawen took it.
“You bought those cakes?” Shen Xinyao raised her head and asked.
“Yeah.” Zhuang Jiawen smiled. “Don’t you like the desserts here?”
She nodded. “I do.”
“Since you’ve been eating too little recently, I specially came here to buy them for you.”
After they left the dessert shop, Zhuang Jiawen opened the car door for her.
Peering through the dessert shop’s glass windows, Yang Zhenzhen spotted a blue limited edition Lamborghini parked on the road. She gaped at it in utter shock.
The other classmate lifted the name card and read the name printed on it. “Zhuang Jiawen.”
Glancing back at his luxurious car, she said to Yang Zhenzhen, “Looks like he’s not lying. He’s really the President of JK Group.”
She gulped and continued, “But he’s so young!”
