Jian Yunong is not interested in the class reunion.
Those people are witnesses to her relationship with Yi Nansheng.
There are still many people there looking at her through colored glasses.
Wangcai, biting on a cigarette, squinted his eyes into a slit and said, "Old classmate. You should go. You're married now, and those things are in the past. I see your husband treats you well. Bring him along to shut those people's mouths. Let's see if they dare to talk nonsense again!"
Wangcai was still upset about the grievances he suffered in the previous class group.
Jian Yunong just smiled and said, "We'll see. If I have time, I'll go."
Wangcai added, "Our homeroom teacher will also be there. She's getting older and has been diagnosed with an illness; she probably needs to say goodbye to the podium and return home to recuperate. You were the class representative back then, and she liked you very much. Are you sure you won't go see her? She mentioned you during the last reunion when you couldn't come back from abroad."
Only then did Jian Yunong nod, indicating that she would definitely attend.
When Jian Yunong returned home, Wangcai sent her the time and location of the reunion.
Jian Yunong glanced at it and tossed her phone aside.
She was quite troubled because she still hadn't picked out a gift for Huo Lianchen's grandmother.
At this moment, she needed to seek help from the resourceful Aunt Wu Shenshen.
"Choose a gift based on her preferences."
"But Huo Jincheng didn't tell me what his grandmother likes."
If Jian Yunong were in front of her, Mist Shenshen would definitely poke at her thick-headedness, "If he doesn't tell you, can't you use your own eyes to see? Don't you have a brain to think of ways to find out? Don't you have a mouth to ask others indirectly? Your husband is testing you. Aren't you on good terms with Huo Jinge? Why not ask this little sister-in-law? She might tell you something useful."
Jian Yunong elongated her voice, "Oh."
Mist Shenshen was silent for a second, two seconds, three seconds... ten seconds passed, "Nong Nong. You need to start using your brain. Your aunt can't help you forever. You are a smart person. Marriage requires your careful management; it's not just about completing tasks assigned by a game system."
"Auntie, I feel like I can't be Mrs. Huo."
"If your husband supports you and believes in you, then you can."
"Really?"
"In marriage, as long as you have your husband's care and understanding, there won't be any major problems."
"Auntie, why do you seem to understand so much but are not married?"
Mist Shenshen's expression stiffened, "Maybe the more you understand, the less you want to get married."
"..." Jian Yunong helplessly said, "Are you saying I'm not thinking things through?"
"Get this straight, I'm not criticizing you; I'm stating facts. I tell you, if your mom knew that you don't even understand such a simple principle, she'd come out from underground to hit you."
"Auntie, don't scare me."
After hanging up the phone, Jian Yunong immediately called Huo Jinge.
Huo Jinge's answer was particularly simple, so simple that it made Jian Yunong furious.
"My grandma, the old lady of Taurus, is very materialistic. Let me tell you, ever since she married my grandpa, he has never seen a savings book or a salary card. They were all managed by my grandma. She is very straightforward; expensive is good. If you go shopping with her, you'll see. She won't even look at cheap things; expensive is justice! Expensive is good!"
"Oh... thank you... Jing Ge... you've really helped me."
Jian Yunong twitched her lips, trying to hide her embarrassment.
Huo Jinge chuckled, "Isn't it especially easy to pick gifts for me?"
"Yes," Jian Yunong felt like she would cry if she continued.
The world of the wealthy really is simple and unpretentious.
For them, things that can be solved with money are not a problem at all.
But for Jian Yunong, who comes from a working-class background, it is a big deal.
Her savings now only amount to three digits.
Since she couldn't spend money, she would put in some thought instead.
That day, Jian Yunong went back to the Huo Family Old Residence for dinner.
The elderly couple of the Huo Family were very happy to see her. They first asked how her health was and then inquired if Huo Jincheng had bullied her recently.
Jian Yunong felt warm inside as she was served more food by Huo Jincheng's Grandmother during the meal, encouraging her to eat more.
Jian Yunong felt both happy and troubled as she slowly walked in the small garden to digest her food.
She stood behind the grape trellis, a hidden spot where one would hardly notice someone standing there unless they looked closely. This place was perfect for eavesdropping, Jian Yunong thought.
Gossip came at that moment.
"Huo Liangchen! Huo Liangchen!" Her sister-in-law Bai Yaoyao called out urgently, "Where are you going? Why didn't you come back last night? Where have you been? Do you have a woman outside?"
Huo Liangchen's voice was cold, "Bai Yaoyao, you are just my nominal wife. Do you really think you can meddle in my affairs?"
Nominal wife?
What does that mean?
Jian Yunong felt overwhelmed and couldn't keep up with the logic.
"Huo Liangchen, I'm not meddling in your affairs. I... I just... I'm afraid that Grandpa and Grandma will be unhappy."
"Unhappy about what?" Huo Liangchen's tone was truly indifferent, completely different from the gentle and polite demeanor he showed in public. Jian Yunong had thought that this older brother would be someone who cared for his wife.
But the reality was...
The seemingly humble and gentle Huo Liangchen was less approachable than the seemingly arrogant Huo Jincheng.
"We've been married for so long... and we still don't have children. Mom has mentioned it many times." Bai Yaoyao's voice lowered, "Huo Liangchen, how long will you stay this time before leaving? I'm begging you... give me a child."
The sister-in-law, who always seemed so high and mighty, was surprisingly humble in front of her husband?
The depths of the wealthy family were truly unfathomable.
Jian Yunong thought that the sister-in-law's request wasn't unreasonable; her older brother had been abroad for a long time, and having a child to keep her company might alleviate her loneliness.
Huo Liangchen chuckled softly, sounding quite mocking, "Why are you so greedy? You're already Mrs. Huo, and you still want a child?"
Bai Yaoyao fell silent for a long time.
The sound of the man's footsteps quickly faded away.
Jian Yunong saw Huo Liangchen's back, seemingly exuding a fierce aura, full of vigor.
The indifferent man always seemed to walk away with an extra touch of elegance.
Bai Yaoyao, however, collapsed to the ground, lowering her head to wipe her tears.
Jian Yunong sighed, wondering whether to help her or pretend not to notice anything.
Jian Yunong happened to have a pack of tissues in hand and couldn't help but walk over to offer them to her.
Bai Yaoyao, who had been crying, looked up instantly upon seeing the tissues. The moment she saw Jian Yunong, she swatted away the tissues she offered, saying, "I don't need your false kindness!"
Jian Yunong silently picked up the tissues.
"I didn't hear anything."
It was better if she hadn't said anything.
As soon as she did, Bai Yaoyao knew that Jian Yunong had heard everything.
