"Ningxue! Why so late! I thought you weren't coming!"

Just as Xu Ningxue and Ye Feng entered the hall, Han Miaomiao and Wei Hai came to greet them.

Han Miaomiao, in a purple evening gown, her neck as white as jade, with a crystal necklace shining brilliantly around it, had a face that was coldly beautiful but now blossomed with a floral smile. In terms of looks, she matched Xu Ningxue, each with her own strengths, yet she had even more of a womanly charm!

Behind her, Wei Hai looked somewhat unnatural, his face still showing faint traces of blue and purple, evidently not yet recovered from the beating Ye Feng gave him last time.

It wasn't just Han Miaomiao, many old classmates upon seeing Xu Ningxue also came up to greet her, most of them men, while the women, apart from Han Miaomiao, numbered just a few.

Among these male classmates, those who were married regretted marrying too early when they saw the unusually beautiful Xu Ningxue. Many who were unmarried had their minds racing, thinking about how to catch the goddess's attention.

However, compared to these men, the women in the class were not so friendly toward Xu Ningxue.

At that moment, a tall woman carrying a glass of red wine walked over. Her gaze didn't settle on Xu Ningxue, but rather, she looked Ye Feng up and down and took a slight sip of her wine, her expression full of disdain and contempt:

"I say, Xu, the class beauty, why don't you introduce us to this guy? Who is he?"

This woman's voice was loud, instantly causing the other chatting classmates to stop and all turn their attention to this spot.

"Yeah! Ningxue, this guy who came in with you, he isn't your boyfriend, is he?"

The tall woman started the conversation and the rest of the women naturally followed up, now asking, filled with mockery.

Although they were classmates with Xu Ningxue, most of them were just acquaintances. Back when they were students, although Xu Ningxue was quite timid, her striking beauty had almost bewitched all the male students in the class, which left the other female students quite dissatisfied.

Now that they had graduated, many of them, relying on their superior family backgrounds had become successful individuals, and they looked down on Xu Ningxue, who was still a minor sales assistant. Naturally, they took this opportunity to give her a good bashing.

"You can't be serious! Our class beauty Xu has very high standards. Almost every guy in our class chased after her back in the day, but she didn't fancy any of them. How could she possibly choose a construction worker as her boyfriend now!"

"That's hard to say. I heard that Xu, the class beauty, has been struggling with her job recently, having changed several jobs in a row, and now it seems she's working as a sales assistant at some company!"

"Exactly! She is a sales assistant. I saw her when I went to their company to discuss business with their head the other time. I even told the head to take good care of her!"

"..."

The women's discussion sounded like a swarm of bees, getting happier and more delighted as they spoke, as if reclaiming the spotlight that Xu Ningxue had overshadowed them with during their school days—they were exhilarated.

Xu Ningxue, Han Miaomiao, and the male classmates from their class all had somewhat unsightly expressions. They had not expected that more than a year after graduation, these women would still hold such grudges and be so sharp and bitter at a reunion.

"Enough!"

Seeing Xu Ningxue's timid and dispirited demeanor, Han Miaomiao suddenly flushed with anger and shouted:

"What's enough with you all! Just because you were ugly, and those boys in school didn't like you, can you really blame Ningxue for that? Ningxue was weak in character, and you bullied her back then, but now that we've graduated and finally gathered together, you still act so acidly! Have you no shame at all!?"

Han Miaomiao was no pushover, having single-handedly taken control of a company, she naturally emitted a rich aura of authority. With just a few words, she had rebutted those women, leaving them red-faced with embarrassment.

But just when everyone thought this drama would end with Han Miaomiao's outburst, a flamboyantly dressed woman walked in from outside.

"What everyone is saying is just the truth, Han Miaomiao, can you really shut them up?"

This flamboyant woman's face was cold, and as soon as she walked in, she immediately became the backbone for the other female classmates, who quickly gathered around her.

"Yan Li, look at Xu Ningxue's boyfriend—he's actually a construction worker!"

"Indeed! A small salesman and a laborer, quite a match, huh? Just a pity for those fellows in our class, all successful now, yet their goddess has been spoiled by a laborer!"

"You're now the lady boss of Changhong Group, check if there's any position in the company that doesn't require educational qualifications. Find a job for her boyfriend, at least it won't be a complete waste of our classmates' reunion!"

...

These women chattered incessantly, their words piercingly sharp. However, upon hearing this, the woman named Yan Li revealed an excited smirk.

She really hadn't expected that Xu Ningxue already had a boyfriend, and moreover, a laborer!

At that moment, Yan Li smiled slightly, then headed straight towards Xu Ningxue and the others.

"Ningxue, long time no see! How have you been?" Yan Li's smile hung on her lips, but to others, it was a naked mockery and sarcasm.

Xu Ningxue obviously saw Yan Li's implication but didn't get angry. Instead, she nodded and replied, "Not bad! Thank you!"

"Is that man your boyfriend? Do you want me to find him a job? We're still hiring support staff. If he's willing, he won't even need to interview!"

Yan Li then turned to Ye Feng, scrutinizing him from head to toe, before saying with a playful expression.

Upon hearing this, Xu Ningxue simply shook her head gently, then tightly grasped Ye Feng's arm, happily stating:

"My boyfriend is now our group's President's driver, thanks for your kind offer, we appreciate it!"

Xu Ningxue's face was filled with a beaming blissful smile, leaving everyone around them dumbfounded. All had not expected that Xu Ningxue, far from being ashamed of having such a boyfriend, was instead proudly displaying her relationship.

This scene, in Yan Li's eyes, made her frown slightly, followed by a scornful curl of her lip.

In her view, Xu Ningxue was merely not wanting to lose face in front of her old classmates, hence she and that laborer-like fellow put on a show of affection!

But how could Yan Li let her off so easily!

At that moment, Yan Li's gaze shifted to the wine stain on Xu Ningxue's blouse, and feigning surprise, she said:

"Ningxue, what happened to your clothes? Oh no! There is a wine stain, it's so dirty, can you even wear it?"

Yan Li's comment caused everyone to gasp, as they had not noticed before, and now they indeed saw that there was a wine stain on one side of Xu Ningxue's blouse, strikingly conspicuous.

"Oh? It really is a wine stain! Ningxue, such dirty clothes should be removed! How can you wear it anymore!"

"Yes, take it off! When clothes are dirty or torn, they must be discarded. Besides, your blouse must have been bought from a street stall, doesn't look it cost more than a hundred yuan, no loss in tossing it!"

"If it were me with a wine-stained piece of clothing, I'd have thrown it away by now! I'd never wear it!"

These women covered their mouths, snickering, delighted that Xu Ningxue had embarrassed herself upon her arrival. Naturally, they were eager to rub salt into her wounds!

Xu Ningxue didn't even care about the wine stain on her clothes, but the attitude of these old classmates had indeed chilled her heart, and at that moment, her beautiful eyes started to redden with grievance.

Seeing this, Han Miaomiao couldn't stand by unaffected and immediately said, "Come on! Ningxue! I'll drive you to buy a new one right now, to shut their mouths!"

Saying this, Han Miaomiao started pulling Xu Ningxue towards the outside.

But just as they had taken a few steps, Ye Feng stopped them.

"Who says clothes with wine stains can't be worn!"
