"You've seen me before?" Gao Xin was stunned. She wanted to say that he must have seen her because she was very successful, but she had suddenly forgotten to say so.
"When I was a beggar, someone that resembled you once snatched a bun from me," said Jiang Ning calmly as he smiled. "If Auntie wasn't dressed in all this splendor, I almost thought it was you."
Gao Xin was stunned.
Did she fight with Jiang Ning in the streets for a bun?
Nonsense!
How could she have snatched someone else's bun out in the street?
"How can that be? I..."
"Yes, you're right. How is that possible?" said Jiang Ning. "Which man would allow such a pretty woman like Auntie Gao to suffer like that?"
Before Gao Xin could respond, Jiang Ning added another statement which made Gao Xin feel like ignoring him.
Jiang Ning was clearly trying to say that she divorced her ex-husband because he was broke, and that was why she schemed to marry a wealthy man.
He was chiding her for being materialistic!
Gao Xin smiled awkwardly on the outside, but displeasure flashed deep in her eyes. She guessed that Su Mei must have said a lot of nasty things about her.
"Come on in then," said Gao Xin as she quickly changed the subject of the conversation, "Su Mei, all our other classmates are here. I'm sure they will be dazzled by your outfit today. Everyone brought their kids to see if they can matchmake any of them today. Yuzhen is so pretty..."
Gao Xin pulled Su Mei inside and spoke as they walked.
Those who didn't know anything would have thought they were particularly close friends.
Jiang Ning held Lin Yuzhen's hand and saw her stifling a smile. He said solemnly, "You have to be serious. We have to make Mum proud today. So we can't lose!
"Okay," said Lin Yuzhen as she inhaled deeply and thought to herself: When had this fellow ever lost?
The hotel venue was posh and clearly exquisitely decorated.
