Li Chuyue was stunned when she saw the three people. Looking at the ordinary-looking woman, she asked in confusion, "Huimin, how come you didn't tell me you were bringing three people? I thought it was just you alone."

Wang Huimin glanced at Liu Wentian, a strange look flashing in her eyes, and laughed, "Chuyue, initially it was just me, but Meiqian and Weihua heard you came back, and having not seen you for a long time, they decided to come over too."

Li Chuyue's brows knitted slightly when she heard her words.

She really didn't understand why Wang Huimin would bring these two people along.

The beautiful woman's name was Li Meiqian, and the man's name was Guan Weihua; they were both former high school classmates. Guan Weihua was also the class president during high school, but Chuyue didn't really want to see these two.

Li Meiqian was a rich girl who claimed to be the class beauty in high school, but the boys referred to Chuyue as the school beauty instead, which overshadowed her, causing Meiqian to hold a grudge against Chuyue, always opposing her at every turn.

Guan Weihua used to be one of her suitors, but to be honest, if it weren't for his appearance now, she would have almost forgotten about him.

With Liu Wentian here now, she didn't want any misunderstandings to arise, and thus, she didn't want to see this man either.

"Hehe, what's wrong, Chuyue, it's been a while, you're not still holding a grudge against me for always bothering you in the past, are you? I was immature back then; I hope you don't take it to heart," Li Meiqian said to Li Chuyue with a chuckle.

Li Chuyue, upon hearing Meiqian speak like this, naturally couldn't say much in response. After so much time had passed, perhaps Li Meiqian was no longer that arrogant rich girl.

She smiled politely, "How could that be? When we were in school, it was all just fun and games. There's nothing worth holding a grudge over. I'm very happy to see you all again."

Li Meiqian smiled, then turning her attention to Liu Wentian, said, "I heard from Huimin that you mentioned you had a boyfriend in Shenming City, could it be this man here?"

As she spoke, a look of disdain flashed through her eyes.

Liu Wentian sneered inwardly, it seemed today's situation wasn't so simple.

Li Chuyue, however, hadn't noticed, and sweetly holding Liu Wentian's hand, she said, "Mhm, his name is Liu Wentian, he's my boyfriend."

"I see," Li Meiqian said, nodding and sizing up Liu Wentian.

Liu Wentian was still wearing Li Chengbin's clothes, not a single brand label in sight, and they were somewhat ill-fitting.

The disdain in Li Meiqian's eyes grew stronger as she pulled Guan Weihua closer and laughed, "You see, Chuyue? Weihua is now my boyfriend, and he's really capable, having become a department manager at a multinational company. So young, and already earning an annual salary of a million."

She seemed to be boasting, a triumphant look on her face. At this point, even Li Chuyue began to sense something amiss, her brow furrowing.

A sense of triumph filled Li Meiqian's eyes.

Back in school, she had always been overshadowed by Li Chuyue, but now her man was much stronger than the one Chuyue had found.

Although Guan Weihua had pursued Li Chuyue during high school, in the end, this outstanding man had become hers, hadn't he?

She, Li Meiqian, was the one who would have the last laugh!

"Well, congratulations to you both," Li Chuyue said coolly, her tone devoid of any warmth. If it weren't for Wang Huimin's sake, she almost wanted to pull Liu Wentian away and leave immediately.

Seeing the tense atmosphere, Wang Huimin quickly interjected, "Alright, let's not talk about this anymore, let's go for a walk. Meiqian, didn't you say you and Weihua were going to buy an engagement ring? Let's go now?"

"Sure, let's go," Li Meiqian nodded, taking Guan Weihua by the hand.

Guan Weihua had been quietly smiling the whole time, a demeanor of inscrutable calm about him.

At this moment, he took out an exquisitely designed business card and handed it to Liu Wentian with a smile, "Bro, you look a bit younger than us, I wonder where you are working now. If you're interested, why not join our company? I have a few vacancies in my department, and as long as the work is not too bad, a salary over ten thousand is not difficult to achieve. Interested?"

While Guan Weihua said this, Liu Wentian noticed he sneakily glanced at Li Chuyue, a brief flash of fiery greed in his eyes.

Liu Wentian silently cursed, what the hell, planning to make me a subordinate and then find a chance to break the rules with a subordinate's wife?

What are you to think you can covet my woman?

Liu Wentian chuckled, "No need, a salary over ten thousand doesn't really interest me."

Li Meiqian, displeased, said, "What, you look down on a salary of ten thousand? You must be fresh out of school and don't understand how hard it is to earn money. I'm speechless; how could Chuyue choose someone like you for a boyfriend?"

She looked at Li Chuyue, her smile tinged with a hint of arrogance and condescension, "Chuyue, your boyfriend really doesn't seem to know any better. Weihua is trying to help him, and he's actually ungrateful. Aren't you going to advise him?"

Li Chuyue shook her head, her tone also turning colder, "In our family, what he says goes. If he says he's not interested, then naturally he's not going to do it."

Li Meiqian was taken aback, the Li Chuyue who used to be so dismissive of all the boys back in school was now acting like a little girl, letting this man make all the decisions?

She scoffed with disdain and said, "Fine, if y'all are not appreciative, then forget it! Weihua, let's hurry up and go. Since they're not interested, just keep your kindness to yourself. Goddess Li certainly doesn't need our help."

Guan Weihua looked at Liu Wentian with a hint of jealousy and nodded, "Yeah, then let's go buy the wedding ring."

Li Chuyue didn't really want to go with them, but since it was supposed to be a group shopping trip, she reluctantly followed behind them.

"Liu Wentian, my apologies. If I knew these two were coming, I wouldn't have come; it turned out to be so dull. Huimin really did it again, she clearly said it was only her, but ended up bringing those two along," Li Chuyue said with some regret.

Liu Wentian chuckled and said, "Sister Yueyue, it seems like Huimin is quite important to you in your heart. Did you bring me here to introduce her to me?"

Li Chuyue nodded, "Yeah, she was my best friend in high school, and now that you're my boyfriend, of course, I hope you two get to know each other."

Liu Wentian feigned surprise and laughed, "Eh, Sister Yueyue, when did I become your official boyfriend? Wasn't this visit to your house just a pretense?"

Li Chuyue's face turned red, and she pinched Liu Wentian at his waist and huffed, "You bad guy! Do you want to be my official boyfriend or not? Reaping the benefits and acting coy!"

Liu Wentian shook his head, chuckling, "I don't want to be your boyfriend, I'm your husband. Heh heh."

Li Chuyue gave him a flirtatious look, slightly bashful.

Liu Wentian looked ahead at Li Meiqian, who was walking beside them, chatting with Wang Huimin, and with a raised eyebrow, he smiled and said, "This Huimin might have deliberately not told you that she was bringing these two here, knowing you might not have come if she did."

"Really? Why would she do that?" Li Chuyue was stunned and somewhat incredulous.

"I think that woman seemed to have some animosity toward you. Maybe, this was all her idea, getting Huimin to invite you here just to show off that she's living a better life than you, to embarrass you?"

Li Chuyue frowned slightly, reluctant to believe this. After all, she genuinely considered Wang Huimin a friend and found it hard to believe that Huimin would invite her out just to make her feel awkward and please Li Meiqian.

However, back in school, Wang Huimin and Li Meiqian had little to do with each other, and due to her relationship with Li Meiqian, they were in a hostile state. But now, they seemed to be getting along splendidly.

Unnoticeably, Wang Huimin, once her best friend, seemed to have changed.

Seeing her frown, Liu Wentian gently squeezed Li Chuyue's hand, feeling pity for her, and said, "Sister Yueyue, remember, some people change easily, while others never do. Just like how I feel about you, that will never change. I will protect you for my entire life."

Li Chuyue nodded firmly, as if she had figured something out, and said sweetly, "Yeah, I will never change either."

The group quickly arrived at the largest jewelry store in the county, called "Dreams of Good Days."

Li Meiqian and her party walked in front, and upon entering, a middle-aged saleswoman came over respectfully and asked, "What are you looking to buy?"

Li Meiqian lifted her face slightly, showing a bit of prideful air, and said, "We're here to buy a wedding ring."

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged saleswoman's face almost burst into bloom. Buying a diamond ring meant spending at least tens of thousands, and she could easily earn a commission of several hundred.

At that moment, Liu Wentian and Li Chuyue also walked in. The other female sales staff, who noticed Liu Wentian's attire, didn't come over proactively. Only a young saleswoman, around 17 or 18 years old, approached when she saw no one else moving.

She smiled and said, "What would you two like to buy?"

"We're not buying, we came with them," Li Chuyue shook her head and pointed at Li Meiqian and the others.

Li Meiqian laughed insinuatingly and said, "Chuyue, since you're here, doesn't your little boyfriend have something to buy for you? But then again, given his salary of a few thousand a month, he probably can't afford anything."

She looked toward Wang Huimin with a meaningful smile and said, "Huimin, you haven't seen Chuyue in so long, you're always chatting with me, why don't you talk with Chuyue? You two must have a lot to catch up on, right?"

To everyone's surprise, Wang Huimin shook her head; without giving Li Chuyue a glance, she said, "Actually, there's not much to talk about. It's been so long since we've seen each other; what topics do we have? But you, Meiqian, I feel like we have a lot to talk about. My boyfriend works under Weihua, and I'll need him to look after us in the future."

Li Meiqian glanced at Li Chuyue, her lips curling into a smile, and said confidently, "Don't worry, as old classmates, of course, Weihua will take care of your boyfriend. I must say, Huimin, you've become much more perceptive."

Li Chuyue looked at Wang Huimin, incredulous. While she had some suspicions after Liu Wentian's words, hearing Wang Huimin openly distancing herself and growing closer to Li Meiqian was still distressing.

After all, the latter was her best friend in high school.

Now it seemed, undoubtedly, that Huimin's invitation was Li Meiqian's idea, aimed at nothing more than making Li Chuyue realize that she was living a better, more successful life than hers.

Li Chuyue bit her lip, her complexion turning a shade paler.

The middle-aged saleswoman, seeing the situation, immediately understood that the customer buying the diamond ring seemed to have a grudge against the exceptionally beautiful woman with the unbelievable figure.

Even though Li Chuyue was more beautiful, Liu Wentian's attire seemed much inferior to that of Guan Weihua, and in a jewelry store, it was the men who paid.

The middle-aged saleswoman looked at Liu Wentian with disdain, then turned to Li Meiqian with a smile, "Ma'am, I'll take you to look at rings now, why waste time here with irrelevant people."

She glanced at the young saleswoman and said, "Xiao Mei, you don't need to attend to these two anymore since they've already said they're not here to buy anything."
