Jude Wang was still bustling with noise and full of excitement on every floor.
In the private room, old classmates like Liu Su, Ma Wen, and Chen Kang had arrived early and were waiting.
There came a considerable commotion downstairs. They looked out of the window and suddenly exclaimed, "It's Lili coming."
"A Porsche! Lili is actually driving a Porsche!"
As the voices died down, everyone in the private room craned their necks. Sure enough, they saw a white Porsche parked downstairs, and Qian Lili, wearing sunglasses, got out of the car gracefully.
Hearing the noise, Qian Lili looked up and waved to them. The group responded warmly.
"It's really Lili, and she's driving a Porsche."
"Has she really married into a wealthy family?"
Qian Lili came up from downstairs and appeared in front of them a few minutes later, smiling perfectly. "I'm not late, am I?"
As soon as she showed up, everyone's eyes were fixed on her.
She was exquisitely made up, dressed in famous brand luxury goods, and carrying a Hermès Garden Party bag on her arm.
Compared with the cheap clothes the others were wearing, she was truly the center of attention.
Liu Su said, "Not late at all. We just arrived not long ago. After all these years, Lili, you're still as beautiful as ever."
Ma Wen said, "When is Lili not beautiful? She was the most beautiful girl in our class back in school. She's been beautiful since childhood."
"The title of class beauty she got back then wasn't for nothing."
The flattery from those around her made Qian Lili cover her mouth and laugh. "It's not as exaggerated as you guys say. Everyone is beautiful."
"We can't compare with Lili."
Qian Lili gave a coquettish smile. Chen Kang looked at the white Porsche downstairs again. "The goddess has changed her car again? I was hoping to see the Bugatti today."
Mentioning the Bugatti, Qian Lili's expression flickered for a moment. "It's gone for maintenance."
"And my husband said this is just a gathering of old classmates, so I shouldn't be too showy. He said driving a Porsche would be fine."
Qian Lili said, "You guys aren't looking down on me just because I'm driving a Porsche, are you?"
Chen Kang was the first to speak up. "How could that be? Lili, you're being too modest. A Porsche is a dream car for many people."
Liu Su said, "Yes, and Lili's Porsche is the best car among our classmates."
Ma Wen said, "Lili, after the class reunion is over, you have to let me take a ride in it. Let me also experience the luxury of a Porsche."
"Lili, you're my only way to get in touch with the upper class."
Amidst all the chatter and flattery, Qian Lili's smile grew wider. The group closed the window and turned on the air - conditioner.
When it came to arranging seats, Chen Kang wanted Qian Lili to sit in the main seat.
"We managed to get this private room in such a popular place like Jude Wang all thanks to Lili. If Lili doesn't sit in the main seat, I'll be the first one to get angry."
Ma Wen said, "Lili is really capable. It's extremely difficult to get a private room at Jude Wang these days. We're all benefiting from Lili."
Qian Lili said, "Actually, I didn't do much. It's all because my husband has some business cooperation with Jude Wang, so we got this private room."
Liu Su said, "Lili's husband has business cooperation with Jude Wang! No wonder she can afford a Porsche. Jude Wang is like a gold mine these days. There's plenty of money to be made around it."
Ma Wen said, "It's better to marry well than to be born well. Lili, you're really an example for us women."
Flattered to the point of having her vanity inflated, Qian Lili started looking for Zhu Ning's figure. Come to think of it, she came here specifically for her today!
"Hasn't Zhu Ning come yet?"
Liu Su said, "I sent her a message today. She said she knew about it, but judging from the current situation, she might not come."
Chen Kang said, "By the way, the boss of Jude Wang is also named Zhu Ning."
Ma Wen said, "What a coincidence of names but such different fates. Everyone knows Miss Zhu of Jude Wang."
"She once had thousands of armored trucks distributing money at the same time, tripled the acquisition of construction machinery nationwide, slept on money and pillows made of gold. She turned Haicheng into a phenomenon - level city by spending money. She spent 50 billion in just ten days! Even some financial groups can't do such a thing. She's definitely the number one person in Haicheng. But what about our Zhu Ning?"
"I heard about her last year." Ma Wen winked at everyone. "She seemed to be working as a waitress or something."
There was a burst of laughter in the private room. Liu Su said, "So maybe our old classmate doesn't dare to come because she's not doing well."
Qian Lili said, "Everyone should understand. Zhu Ning's situation is really difficult. She's become listless, fat and ugly. It's normal for her to be afraid of meeting us."
Chen Kang said, "So Lili, you know about Zhu Ning's recent situation?"
Qian Lili sneered. "Of course I do."
Last time when they met, she didn't know what means Zhu Ning used to drive a Bugatti, which made her owe hundreds of thousands in online loans.
Even worse, after that meeting, it was as if she had been blocked in the entire Haicheng! No one dared to hire her!
Even if she found a job, she would be inexplicably fired after a few days, just like... the way she used to deal with Zhu Ning...
But she was sure that it couldn't be Zhu Ning who blocked her.
It was too exaggerated.
How could a person achieve such a huge class leap in such a short time?
Unless she was the heir of some hidden family.
But,
How could that be?
If she really was, would she have been bullied by her for so long?
That Bugatti must have been obtained through some means she couldn't understand.
Anyway, she just didn't believe that Zhu Ning could be doing better than her!
"Not long ago, I even ran into her. I don't know what kind of life she's living. She's listless, slovenly, and doesn't care about her appearance at all. The total value of her clothes from head to toe is less than 200 yuan. She's so fat that her eyes are almost closed. She's so fat and old - looking. At first glance, I thought she was in her fifties or sixties!"
Liu Su said, "Is Zhu Ning really doing that badly?"
Ma Wen said, "I can hardly imagine. Is she really that ugly?"
Chen Kang said, "I remember she was quite good - looking when we were in school."
"Would I lie to you guys?" Qian Lili sighed. "I really don't know what kind of life she's living. She's really let herself go."
"She looks even worse than a middle - aged woman in her fifties! You'll be shocked if you see her!"
"Really? I was actually looking forward to seeing her." Chen Kang said, "But after hearing what the goddess Lili said, I've changed my mind. Haha."
Ma Wen said, "I said she hasn't come all this time. It turns out she's too old and ugly to show up."
Liu Su said, "I remember back in school, she and Lili were both the top candidates for the class beauty. Who would have thought she'd end up like this?"
Chen Kang said, "In my opinion, she doesn't need to be embarrassed. We're all classmates. Who would look down on her? Maybe she can just serve us tea while we're eating."
"Hahaha."
Ma Wen said, "With her current appearance, you know what? She'd actually be quite suitable to be a tea - serving auntie!"
Qian Lili said, "Oh, don't say that. It's not her fault that she's not doing well. We're all classmates. Anyway, I'm short of a toilet - cleaning maid at home. Since she looks like an auntie now, if she comes, I'll recommend the job to her!"
"I can't take this job. You can keep it for yourself."
A clear female voice came. Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and were all stunned.
She was wearing a sleeveless pure - white custom - made high - end dress, with long hair flowing down to her waist. Her figure was graceful, her features were extremely beautiful, and her temperament was noble and elegant.
If seeing Qian Lili dressed in gold and silver only made people envy her good life.
When they saw the girl in front of them, the same thought popped into everyone's minds involuntarily.
— They and she...
Were not from the same world.
Everyone was completely stunned.
"Are you... Zhu Ning?!"
Qian Lili's face immediately changed drastically.
How could this be!
